Edward's POV

--

This was a dream, it had to be, I had never felt so warm before, so complete. Her skin was so unbelievably soft and my fingers left goosebumps wherever they trailed. She smelled heavenly and her hair was soft and tickled as it grazed my bare skin. She opened her mouth and a soft giggle flowed out.

Bella, it was Bella. Then, she spoke,…why did Bella sound like a Texan? My eyes popped open and I slowly realized that it had been a dream, and that my pajama pants were way too tight. I sat up and noticed that the voice I heard belonged to Jasper, my roommate that I had yet to meet. He sounded like he was on the phone in the living room,

"No sweetheart I wasn't ignoring you at all, I fell asleep." I chuckled a bit wondering if it was a lie. I stood and realized that I couldn't meet Jasper in my current, er, pointed state. I was so grateful that the bathrooms were in the rooms and that, due to a housing mishap, Jasper and I had our own rooms. I climbed into the shower and turned it all the way to cold.

My dream confused me, I had met Bella les than 24 hours before I had woken up from a dream where we were obviously doing things that people typically didn't do less than 24 hours after meeting each other. I could call her, but I was a coward. I had made a fool of myself the night before, I had no idea why I had acted the way I did. I was desperate for some good, human, conversation and Bella had intrigued me, and she had turned me on. I felt like a creep.

I turned off the shower, dried off, and got dressed. I let my hair fall where it wanted, I learned long ago that there was no use attempting to tame it. I walked into the living room to see Jasper still on the phone,

"I'll ask, I promise, yeah it does sound fun, yes, okay have fun, love you, bye." He hung up the phone and looked at me, "Hey! You must be Edward, I hope I didn't wake you up man. Alice is excited….always." He said as we shook hands,

"Nah, you didn't wake me up. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet before now, and I'm even sorrier you had to meet Emmett." I said. Jasper let out a laugh,

"Your brother is crazy man, he's really nice though so no worries." Jasper was in the midst of putting away a box of dishes so I jumped in to help. We were quiet for a few minutes, men typically didn't feel the need to speak all that much, but I was enjoying his company.

"So what's your story Jasper?" I asked. I was genuinely curious, I also felt like we had the potential to develop a great friendship so I wanted to take the time to figure out more about him. Jasper chuckled,

"Well, as you probably already discovered I'm from Texas, I apologize in advance for my accent. I took some time off in between high school and college, I had some family issues that I really needed to distance myself from so I took off across the country just trying to figure my life out. I thought maybe I'd go into the military but I'd have to shave my hair off and I really wasn't for that. Then, I met Alice, and everything changed. She was in a diner in Pennsylvania, I actually accidentally rammed into her car while she was inside so I had gone inside to apologize and she just took my breath away. She was on a similar track I was, not really sure where she fit in this crazy life, we started talking and dating and then I discovered I had a passion for the human mind and she had a passion for…clothes, and color, and fun. So we decided that maybe the college life was for us after all and we decided on this fun little college here. We kind of wanted the real college experience so we aren't rooming together off campus, plus I thought maybe some girl time would be good for her." His story was more interesting than I could ever imagine. I was impressed that he had the balls to take off on his own and leave his family, and troubles behind. He seemed like one of the happiest guys I had ever met. "So how about you Edward? What brings you to a little college like this? You seem like a city boy." I couldn't help but laugh at Jasper's comment,

"Exactly. I needed to get away from the city, I mean I like to go to clubs and dance and drink and have a good time but I really wanted to know what a quieter environment was so I convinced my parents to let me go here. Though I really would have preferred if Emmett hadn't decided that he needed to come along for my own protection. I'm majoring in musical education and am currently single." For some reason Bella's face flashed in my mind and I felt my brow knit together.

"That's awesome. Emmett seems like a nice go, a little loud but at least he's happy to see everybody…I think he and Alice would get along just fine. Oh, that reminds me, she'll kill me if I don't ask, there's a party tonight at your brother's fraternity do you want go?" I was interested but slightly apprehensive because I knew Emmett and his fraternity brothers would be the hosts, "Alice and her roommate, I think her name is Bella, are going so it sounds like it'll be a pretty good time." Jasper said conversationally. I almost dropped the cup I was holding. Bella, at least I hoped it was the Bella I was thinking of, would be there. I had to go, I had to see her, I had to talk to her and try my hardest not to make more of an ass out of myself.

"Yeah, it sounds cool I guess. We can at least check it out for a bit." I still tried to stay cool, I was a guy after all and if Jasper saw me getting all excited about this party he may label me as a weirdo. Though, he really didn't seem like the type to judge.

"Awesome, I'll give Alice a call. I think she's out with Bella doing some shopping, better Bella than me! I'm pretty sure I have permanent mark from carrying shopping bags on my arms." Jasper clapped me on the back and rand to his cell phone, I secretly smiled to myself…I was getting a second chance.

Bella's POV

"Alice, really, I do appreciate this but I have clothes." I said as the Hurricane Pixie drug me through the mall. She laughed maniacally and it terrified me. We were quickly becoming friends, though we had only known each other for a few hours, I really loved Alice's energy and friendliness and she enjoyed the fact that she had a live person to dress up,

"Yeah but nothing sexy! And, you're single, so tonight you should relax and have some fun and talk to guys, it's college!" Alice was hell bent on the whole college experience and it made me smile. She was bound and determined for us to have a blast at this frat party tonight. Her boyfriend and his roommate, who's name she had forgotten by the time she had gotten off the phone with Jasper, were coming with us that evening and Alice was very bouncy about the whole situation.

"Fine Satan Pixie! Do your worst!" I laughed, it made me slightly uncomfortable trying on skimpy clothes but I was grateful that I wasn't having that hard of a time making friends. Alice cackled and pulled me into another dimly lit store.

Five hours, many shopping bags, and a smoothie later we were back at our apartment and I was quickly ushered into the shower while Alice promised me she would pick out something perfect for me to wear. I was a little afraid but did as I was told. Being in the shower gave me time to think. Edward was never too far from mind and that was a little off putting. I hadn't known him from Adam the day before last but now he was the only man I could even begin to think about. His hair, his eyes, his laugh, his crooked smile, everything about him made my heart race and I wasn't sure why. He was nice enough, he had saved me from falling off the ladder, he had bought a couple pairs of really nice shoes, and he had made me stumble over my words. I hoped that he would call me. I really didn't want to go to the party that night to dance with other boys, I just wanted to hang out with Alice.

I exited the shower and heard Alice talking at approximately 987 miles per hour on the phone,

"Okay, we'll just meet you there then! Okay! Love you bye!" She said and flipped her phone closed. She turned to me, "Jazzy and his roommate are going early to help set up for the party so we're just going to meet them there. Okay! Get dressed and I'm going to do your hair." She bounced toward her room to heat up a curling iron, I was terrified.

Another two hours, a tiny denim skirt, black heels, and pretty cute black top later I found myself in the middle of a loud, hot, frat house. There were loads of guys there but not the one I wanted to see. Alice had introduced me to Jasper, her boyfriend, who said his roommate was in the bathroom and he'd have to introduce us when he got back. I was currently standing by one of the speakers, an untouched beer in my hand, trying my hardest not too look extremely awkward.

A boy walked up to me, his beer was nearly gone and I was sure he had a couple under his belt already. His hair was long, and black, and tied back into a ponytail. He sauntered up to me and I almost laughed as he stumbled,

"Hey there! You're looking good, what sorority do you belong to?!" He shouted over the music. I shook my head,

"None! I'm just here with a friend!" I shouted back. He smiled goofily, he seemed nice, probably a good guy to talk to but still not the guy I wanted to see.

"I'm Jacob! What's your name?!" He asked. I giggled again and I could feel my cheeks getting hot, that always happened when some guy talked to me, not matter who it was.

"Bella!" I said. He smiled again,

"Well, Bella, I know of a room upstairs we could go if you'd like. Get you a couple more drinks, make the beginning of college real nice for you!" He said. Suddenly, the scene had changed. Jacob didn't seem like the kind of guy I really wanted to be affiliated with, he seemed like a creep that had one too many. I really didn't want to make a scene so I just shook my head and started to walk away, "Whoa, whoa, where are you goin? We were just starting to have fun." He started following me to where the music was a little quieter,

"Actually Jacob I'm waiting for someone." I tried to be as polite as possible. I was walking down a hall when Jacob grabbed my wrist rather violently,

"Well we can spend that waiting time doing something fun." He slurred. I tried to break free but his grip on my arm was harsh and he was able to push me against the wall. He slammed his tall body against me and I struggled against his weight,

"GET OFF ME!" I shouted, but he wasn't listening. His breath reeked of alcohol and I was definitely frightened. His hand was slowly snaking it's way up my thigh, towards the hem of skirt when I heard the voice I had been longing to hear all night, it just sounded a lot angrier than I had imagined,

"HEY!" I heard Edward before I saw him.

I saw the guy pinning Bella to the wall and she didn't look too happy about it. I felt my blood boil and I could only think one thing as I rushed to her aid,

It was very possible that I was going to commit murder tonight.
