Chapter 4: Fresh Start

BPOV

What the hell was going on? One I didn't even know that Renae and Esme were talking or even knew each other. Well now I know that I knew Esme before but just didn't remember. Damn, I am so confused. Who the hell do I know now that I didn't remember them from before? The worst part is that Edward knows about Jake. I felt tears coming down my eyes again. I just had the perfect sex of my life with a guy that I was falling for and I guess from the past loved but no that asshole Jake is ruining this! I promised myself I would not let him make me shed anymore tears.

"Bella whets wrong? Is it because I was bringing up Jake? We can stop; its just part of me wants to know what happened."

He was being kind but I wanted him to know what had happen to me. "Edward I didn't even know our mothers talked or even knew each other."

He laughed. His laugh just made me relax right away. I wonder why he had such effect on me. "Well Bella our mothers were best friends during college and well have always been BFF's. They had this whole plan about wanting to have daughters and them be best friends but well I kind of messed that up." We both let out laughs. I wonder when it was the last time I laughed so easily like this. Even around Alice and Emmett is still was hard to laugh and be as relaxed as I am right now. "But anyways they made us play together when we were little. My mother use to drag me to play dates with you. Eventually you beat me up and I was so mad at you but eventually I got over it and was always by you. I started to protect you and always make you smile. I even took you to my secret meadow. I remember you would always smile and even trip all the time. I almost forgot you were so clumsy. I bet that hasn't changed one bit." He started laughing and all I could do was blush. Oh my god I remember.

"Edward I remember this morning I was dreaming about two kids dancing in the meadow. It was you and me but in my dream some shadow approached us and the little girl, well I started to cry and you were comforting me. What happened with that?"

He pushed his hands threw his hair and he just frowned at me. "That person that approached us that day was your father's partner. He came and told us that your father was gone. I held you and you cried. I remember it so clearly because that was the last time I held you or even talked to you straight in the face." He looked down and hurt was all over his face expression.

"Edward I didn't leave Forks for another 2 months after my father's death. What was going on then?" I was confused why couldn't I remember myself. I knew my father died and it was hard but I tired to be strong for my mother and me so I didn't cry or try to remember.

"Bella after that you didn't go to school, you wouldn't leave your house and you wouldn't talk to me. My mother would tell me that you needed to be alone and that since I was your friend I should understand. I did what I thought I should do and I waited Bella…I waited for 2 months then my mother came and told me that you were leaving to Phoenix. I was so pissed off Bella that I destroyed my room. I tried to break everything and ruin anything that reminded me of you but I just couldn't. I loved you too much to throw anything away. So after you were in Arizona like I said I called and called and once I finally got you, you told me you hated me and never talk to you again. So now that I told you what has happened in the past between us, Bella I really hate to bug you and bring back bad memories but I need to know what happened between Jake…"

He was very uneasy saying Jake's name but who wouldn't after hearing what he did to me. I just sighed but he had the right to know what happened. He did tell me about us in the past so I should do the same. "Edward only four people know what happened so that alone can tell you how bad it was that I didn't tell anyone. It's a long story and if it gets to be too much for you just tell me." He nodded and looked deeply in my eyes giving me some encouragement.

"Well I met Jake when I was 22 and just had moved back to Forks. Honestly Forks is the time of town you leave and never come back but anyways I moved back to Forks when I wasn't able to sell any of my paintings in Arizona and I couldn't pay for my rent even though Alice and Emmett said they didn't mind me not paying but I wasn't going to allow that to happen." He just busted into laughter.

"So you were as stubborn as always even back than." He just kept laughed and I poke him in the stomach.

"Hey hey I was quiet for you now you have to shut up as well." He finished letting out his giggles and nodded. "So anyways I moved to Forks and stayed at my old house. My mother never sold the place since it was a good reminder of my father. I decide to live there for a few and I found a job at some dinner called New Moon. Weird name but a bunch of the town people lived there and would eat there everyday. Surprising everyone remembered me and who my father was so I got major tips for that. That alone seemed weird but anyways I was leaving work on night and my car gave out on me. You know how Charlie had the rusty red truck that he had waiting for me when I was allowed to drive but anyways the old girl gave up on me and I was stuck. Just as I was going to call a tow truck Jake came out. He was like an angel sent from heaven. He knew a lot about cars and fixed the baby right back up. I offered to pay him but he said my phone number would just be enough. I couldn't say no because after having two horrible relationship before and here was Jake a promising hot and nice guy. He was tall, very muscular and had long black hair. His smile wasn't half bad either. Anyways after we went on a date we started going out." I remember back then it was so nice and like a fairytale. A perfect guy who treated his woman like a princess.

"So when did you know started to happen. I personally would skip the happiness of you with another guy." He had an upset expression going on. Maybe jealous? Well Edward did say he loved me so it might hurt him.

"Your right no point on dwelling on good things when the bad over shadow the good. Anyways about 5 months of us dating was the first time he hit me. We were just walking through the park after eating lunch heading back to his house when this guy came to me. He was asking for where the nearest grocery store so he could pick up so band aids and candy. He was pointing at his son that was in his wife's arms. I smiled and told him. To Jake he thought I was flirting with him and once we got into his house he started to scream at me. I yelled back and he slapped me causing me to fall. He told me he was sorry and it would never happen again but I was in love and believe him that he wouldn't hurt me again. I was so wrong because just a few days later he slapped me again because I came home a little later that I usually did because I had to lock up at the diner and he thought I was cheating on him. Eventually it went from slapping to punching. I had so many bruises on my stomach and arms, that I was wearing long sleeve shirts all the time. This went on until my 23 birthday. Alice and Emmett flew down to Forks and wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. When I picked them up, of course Jake was with me. I told him before about Alice and Emmett but he thought that I was fucking Emmett which by the way is gross to even think about since he is like my brother. Anyways when they were talking about throwing me a birthday party Jake told them no that I was going to spend the whole day with him. Well Alice being Alice told him no and tried to grab my arm and take me outside. Well I had a mark on my arm where Alice grabbed and I said ouch and Alice moved my sleeve and asked how I got this bruise I told her I ran into a wall which is believable if it didn't look like jakes hand marks. Alice turned around and started to yell at him and he went to hit her and well Emmett kicked his ass. Emmett threw Jake out my house and told him if he came anywhere near me that he would die. So anyways they convinced me that he was an asshole and that I should leave him. I was so confused because I had been with this guy for a year and a half that I loved him and he knew best so that night Jake called me yelling at me that I either take him back and kick those two out of my life or we were done. Right then I knew I was not going to lose Emmett and Alice over someone who treated me like shit. So we broke up and I put a restraining order on him and continued to work. Then your sweet loving mother came one day to my dinner and saw some art work I had done. After Jake and I broke up I did a bunch of angry artwork and it turned out pretty damn nice if I do say so myself. Anyways she saw the work and offered me a job in New York and I thought that I could finally start over again and I took it in a heartbeat. Then once I was in New York this hot asshole ran into me and –" He cut me off by kissing me. He used a lot of force into this kiss and I just melted. He released me and looked at me with his beautiful green eyes.

"Bella I'm so sorry that you had to experience that with Jake. If I knew that asshole I would kill him myself. I am so happy you have such good friends and I need to treat Emmett to a beer for kicking Jake's ass. I should do something for Alice as well for sticking up for you but Bella I'm so happy that I have you in my arms now and you are safe. I can't believe my mother did that or maybe she knew what she was doing. I'm so happy though Bella. All I can hope now is you remember why you closed your past off and remember everything. Bella I want to tell you this now. I am not leaving no matter what, and I am here for good and as long as you want me." I just started to cry again and he held me. This actually did now feel like a fresh start. We ended up talking so more about us when we were children. I cuddle up next to him and just listened. I could easily understand who any girl could fall in love with him. Just listening his describe us and tell me about us when we were children made me become even more crazy about him. He looked and sounded so happy talking about all the time we spent together and it was like every moment we spent tonight back then was something so special. He made hide n go seek seem like it was taking place in the Olympics. Eventually we both fell asleep and for once in a long time I was happy and feel asleep with a smile on my face.

EPOV

I woke to something, I couldn't tell if it was the TV or maybe my phone going off. I rubbed my eyes and went to set up but someone's arms were wrapped around me. I guess I wasn't dreaming that last night happened. There was my perfect and only girl that I had my heart sleeping and mumbling. I remember that she use to talk in her sleep when she spent the night. I leaned in the closer to see what she was saying.

"Edward….stop it….that tickles…" I couldn't help but start laughing. What the hell was she dreaming about? All I know was I was involved and that made me so happy. She had a huge smile on her face as well so I couldn't help myself but grin at her too. I got up and headed towards my kitchen. I was starving and I bet she would be too once she had woken up but all I had in my refrigerator was leftovers. I was either at someone else's house or would just eat late night take-out this wasn't going to work. Well I since she was asleep and there was really good bangle and muffin place wasn't too far away I could pick up some stuff. I took a shower quickly and threw some jeans and a white t-shirt on and was out the door.

BPOV

I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or not but it didn't matter. I liked what was happening. I was just walking through the park like I use to do with Jake but instead of getting hit Edward was tickling me. He wouldn't stop either. He just had his sexy and amazing crooked smile on that belonged to me. He grabbed my hand and started to twirl me like he did when we were little. I wanted this dream to last forever but people's voices interrupted my dream. I remember last night I had the best best sex of my life and then Edward and I talked about us when we were children and about Jake, then we fell asleep. I went to put something on and realized that all I had was my ruin white blouse and a pair of skinny jeans. Great. I started to look through Edward's drawer and found a t-shirt with incredible hulk on it. I couldn't help but laugh because that is what he reminded me of when I first met him. I was going to give him hell for owning this shirt. I knew I had sex hair because I felt a big lump of knots in the back of my head but I didn't care. I was too happy and I decide that I should tease him and maybe I would get lucky and another repeat from last night would happen. As I got closer to his bedroom door, I could hear three voices all together. I could hear Edward's then a woman with a squeaky voice and a man with a big husky voice. Oh shit, please don't tell me that it is...As I opened his bedroom door there came Alice knocking me into the ground.

"Alice damnit! How many times are you going to do that? Get off of me even though you are small you are still heavy!"

She just giggled. "Bella I am so happy! I don't know what you are talking about, Edward is so sweet and nothing like an asshole like you described him. By the way you should have called me and told me you were staying the night with Edward. Emmett and I were so worried and then when I ran into Edward this morning something seem strange and I noticed he was carrying a herbal tea which I know you drink and he had a bunch of muffins and I could smell chocolate chip which is also your favorite and then I figured you were here and that glow was the type of glow which was I just had the best sex of my life. Then we got to the building and Emmett was there and I dragged him into Edward's apartment and we talked and then look at you Bella you had the same glow as him. So how good was it? Is he really big? I should have known it was you because I swore I heard you screaming last night something about going harder-" I smacked her and pushed her off of me. Oh my god she heard me last night. I must have been so bright red because Emmett was laughing so hard and fell to the ground. Shit I forgot Edward and Emmett were right in front of us. Emmett just kept laughing and Edward just had a huge smile on his face. I'm sure he was proud of just was said. I just got up and walked and buried my face into Edwards's chest. He laughed again and wrapped his arms around me.

"I am so embarrassed." I really was. Nothing like this has happened before not even in college.

"Don't worry. I actually find it very amusing. By the way is Alice part chipmunk or something. I have never heard someone talk as fast as she does. Anyways I have breakfast for you. You still like herbal tea and chocolate chip muffins?" He tilted his head. He seemed to be really enjoying himself.

"Yeah I do. How do you know?" I went to sit at the table and reached into the bag and grabbed one.

"Bella you use to always drink that shit and you use to beg my mother when we were kids on Sunday to go get a fresh batch of chocolate chip muffins from the bakery." I blushed again. He seemed to know a lot about me and that kind of made things a little less awkward. I bite down and started to enjoy my muffin. This was definitely something I wouldn't mind waking up to each morning.

I then noticed Emmett come sit down and dig into a muffin too. "Who invited you big ass to eat Emmett?"

"Hey Bells, I was so worried about you last night beside we never talked about the night at the bar but it seems everything worked out and you didn't need me to help you out." He winked at me. Shit I totally forgot about that. "I actually like Edward too he seems like a good guy plus he asked if we wanted to come over this weekend and watch the game." Guys were so weird. They liked each other right away if it included sports and beer. Wait a minute today is Tuesday…..

"Shit Edward we have to get to the studio." What was Esme going to think if I walked in with her son.

"Don't worry Bella; my mother won't be in until noon today so as long as we are in by then we should be fine." He sipped his coffee. He looked so sexy. How was it possible to get turned on by someone drinking something?

"Wait this is Esme son? The one who bought you that apartment? Doesn't it seem like it was kind of a set up?" For once Emmett thought something through and it sounded right. It was Esme who offered me a job, who bought me an apartment next door to Edward and working at the same studio as Edward.

"Emmett for once I think you may have something right." I walked back into Edward's bedroom and grabbed my clothes. Edward walked into the room with me.

"What does Emmett mean?"

"I will tell you on the way to the office. I need to get ready so pick me up in an hour and we will talk. By the way I am keeping this shirt."

He just grinned and shook his head. "I'll see you in a few Bella."

I just walked out his door and then all of a sudden Emmett picked me up and locked his arms around me so I couldn't move. He threw me on the couch and Alice locked all the locks and looked at me with her wicked smile that she used when she was excited or had so many questions. She skipped her way towards me almost as if she were dancing and sat next to me. Emmett stood behind me looking as if he were prepared to grab me if I ran.

"So let me guess, you want me to tell you everything that happened and if I try to run this monster is going to catch me."

"You guess right. So let me make my guess before you tell me everything. You are screwing your boss's son?" She was sort of right.

"Well kind of. He use to be my best friend when I was little and his mom and my mom are best friends. He has loved me his whole life and he is trying to make me remember our childhood."

"Well that seems pretty fuck up and nice for the most part. At least he is trying to get you to remember. Emm and I weren't much help since we didn't meet you back then. So how was the sex?"

I blushed right away. I was just going to tell when Emmett interrupted. "Hey I don't wanna hear that shit. Alice you can ask her when I'm at work."

"Yay Emmett you got a job where?" He smiled and showed off his muscles.

"I got a job as a bouncer at that club we went to the other night." I hugged him and went to pat his head. For some weird reason he liked that.

"Fine Emmett you win but Bella when you get home from work I want all the details. Then of course you can go over you lover boy's house."

I just simply sighed and nodded. Alice was a tiny and evil monster but she always got her way. I went straight for the shower and let the hot water fall on my head and roll down my back. So much has happened but I feel so much relax as if I got so many years of stress off my back. I saw that Alice bought some coconut shampoo but I knew that the strawberry shampoo drove Edward crazy so I decide to use it again determine to get a repeat of last night.

EPOV

After she left my apartment, I think I went and died to heaven. She looked so incredible sexy in my incredible hulk shirt that I wanted to pick her up and take her right on my dinning room table but unfortunately the pixie and grizzly bear were in the room with us. I decide I should take another shower and calm down my boner. I was getting ready to see her again and I didn't know how she would look. If it was anything like yesterday we might not end up making it to the studio. As I finally finished calming the monster I threw some worn out jeans and a blue t-shirt. I had been so busy this month that I never did a painting and I didn't want my mother to get mad at me. I was her pride and glory and I was happy about that. Call me a mommy's boy or whatever but I was happy when I made my mother proud. I went to fix my hair but like always couldn't control it and just ran my fingers through it and was out the door. I lightly knocked at the door and Emmett answered.

"Hey bro! Bells is almost ready so just sit down and relax."

"Thanks Emmett." I sat down on a chair near the TV and he sat down as well. This was the first time I was in her apartment, It look a lot like mine the kitchen wise and everything but there were golden curtains and plants everywhere and girly shit. Alice must have decorated it because I doubted Bella would use all kinds of stuff like this. She was more simple and natural. Just as I was staring at the pictures on the wall, Bella came out. She had her hair down and was in so jeans and a white tank top and brown leather jacket. Well hello boner again. She looked so fucking hot and she was just wearing lip gloss and a little massacre. She looked so natural and hot. Emmett had to clear his thought so I would stop eye fucking her. "Are you ready to go Bella?" She was blushing so I'm sure she noticed the way I was staring at her.

"Yeah let's go. Ill see you guys tonight."

"Remember what I said Bella. Edward you can have her after I'm done with her." The way Alice said it kind was kinky but I'm sure it meant something else but the way Bella rolled her eyes. I took her hand and we walked out the building of course both saying to Ben before we went to the streets.

"Bella you want to catch a cab?"

"Yeah we can learn other ways to get around the town sooner or later." I liked the fact that she used we and not just saying herself. I whistled for a cab and we hopped in. I didn't even release her hand and once we finally reached the studio she looked at our hands.

"Edward so this is weird to ask after last night but so what are we? Like boyfriend and girlfriend?" Wow she was right it has only been three days since I reunited with her but it just didn't feel that way.

"I would like that but it depends on you Bella. I don't want you to rush into something that you don't want or anything." She just smiled and looked at me.

"Id love to be your girlfriend. What do you think your mother is going to say?"

I just laughed. "Bella I am sure she is going to be happy." I can see it now my mother has been planning this day since Bella and I were born. I bet she will call Renae before Bella can and tell her about us finally together. I guessed I must have been smirking because Bella looked at me with such a playful smile.

"I think we both are thinking the same thing. About how our mothers have been planning this out since forever." I just laughed again and nodded.

"You and I use to always think the same things. I am happy it's showing up again." She blushed and we headed inside the office still holding hands.

BPOV

We walked into the office and a few people were smiling and it looked like someone lost a bet and was paying up or something. Edward walked me to my office and kissed me.

"Ill see you after work Edward. I gotta finish my room then start painting."

"Yeah Ill be busy painting too. Well I will pick up after work." With that he gave me on last kiss and walked away.

I just smiled and watched him walk away. I then heard someone laugh. I turned to see a tall blonde with red lipstick. I looked over her whole body; she was taller than me and was wearing a black pencil skirt and a red blouse. She looked like a damn super model. "It's been awhile since I had a woman eye fucking me."

I quickly blushed and looked into her brown eyes. She was smiling like she was enjoying herself. Part of me was telling me that this girl was the office bitch and to be rude to her but then again the last person I called an asshole I ended up sleeping with him. So I decide to go with the other half and be nice.

"Hi I'm Bella." I stuck my hand out to shake it. She then grew a bigger smile.

"Hi I'm Rosalie. I can tell we will be great friends."

"Why is that?" I was confused she just seemed to become much softer.

"Well most people would have called me a bitch or something but you toughed it or and took the risk to try to be friendly so I would say you got some balls." She winked at me. I think I just met a pretty girl with a dirty mouth just like me. I think I was truly getting lucky now. A sexy boyfriend who was my childhood friend and now a pretty girl with a dirty mouth.

"Well thanks Rosalie. Wanna go to lunch in a little?"

"Yeah sure how about 3? I should be done doing some accounting here and have my car parts order. By the way go ahead and call me Rose."

"Gotcha, see yeah later Rose."

I stepped into my office. That is the type of girl any guy would love to be with especially with Emmett. Hmm he did do me a favor with Edward maybe I would try to hook him up with Rose. As soon as I thought of Edwards's name I was inspired to start painting. I grabbed my paint and started painting on an easel. I didn't know how long the time passed but I heard a knock on my office door. There stood Rose will take out and it was Asian. She truly was a blessing.

"Ready to eat?"

"You betcha."

We sat at my couch and started digging in the fried rice and egg drop soup. I didn't notice until she awed. I looked to see her staring at my new painting.

"You really are something. What is that?"

"I was just painting and the image that came to mind was a meadow."

"Well it's beautiful." I just smiled and we finished eating. As we started throwing our trash away Esme came into the room and wrapped her arms around me. Rose was just shaking her head like this was natural behavior.

"Ill see you later Bella. I finished everything today I'll see you tomorrow Esme."

"Bye dear. Thanks again for your hard work." I just waved bye to Rose and she smiled. Esme led us back to my tan couch. She just kept her smile.

"So I think you found out about Edward and me becoming a couple." She just hugged me and nodded.

"I am so happy Bella. I can't believe this day finally came and when I told your mother she was just as happy and excited as I am."

"You called my mother even before me. Did she congratulate you on all you're planning actually working out?" She just smiled.

"So you figure out everything? I do admit I did plan everything pretty much out but a few things were going to be different. I didn't expect you to be such an amazing artist and at first didn't expect you to come so easily."

"Well I guess I can tell you thank you. I am happy Esme, I truly am." She just gave me one last squeeze and was out the door. I sat there thought about everything that has happened in the last three days and it seems like it has been weeks rather than just days. I could clearly say I was happy. I finished painting my meadow and yet again another tap on my door dragged me away from my work. There stood Edward with paint on his face and on his blue shirt. I giggled a little bit.

"What is it with boys and not being able to stay clean?" He chuckled a little and his eyes gazed at my work.

"Bella did you paint this?" I just nodded and he began to focus so much into it. "It looks just like my meadow I showed you. It seems like you can clearly remember that part of your past."

"Yeah it recently appeared in my dreams so I can paint it perfectly. Anyways let's get out of here before Alice shows up and drags me back to my apartment." We got up and held hands and walked out the door. Before we stepped into the car, a thought hit me.

"Edward do you have plans Friday?"

"No why?"

"Well I was wondering if you would go on a date with me along with some other people."

He just smiled, "Sure who do you have in mind?"

"Well Rose from work seems like she would be perfect for Emmett and my friend Jasper I met at the club seemed to like Alice so I guess I could do a triple date. Still want in?"

"I'd go anywhere with you Bella." He just smiled and helped me into our cab.

As we rod in the cab right to our apartment building both of us were quiet and stared out the window. I didn't mind because he still had my hand in his. When we arrived at the building Edward let out a sighed. I looked out his window to see the little devil waiting for me. She must have been really determined. I just shook my head.

"Alice…"
