I woke up the next morning and was confused for a minute to where I was. Then I rolled over and saw Alice sleeping next to me and remembered I spent the night. I couldn't remember how I had gotten into bed, but I remembered spending the night. I also remembered having a dream that Edward put me in bed. I also remembered feeling very safe in his arms. Maybe it was real?

I got up and walked down stairs and I heard a piano. I went toward it and saw Edward playing in the living room.

When he stopped I spoke, "You play?" I asked.

He jumped and turned and looked at me, "You scared me," he said.

I chuckled, "Sorry," I said.

"It's fine," he said with a smile.

"What was that you were playing?" I asked.

"Umm… Just something I'm working on," he said.

"Can I hear it?" I asked.

"When it's done," he said.

I smiled, "Okay," I said. Then my phone rang, it was my dad. "Hang on," I said to Edward, he nodded.

"Hello," I said answering it.

"Hey, Bells," Charlie said, "When you coming home?"

"Ummm…. I don't know. Do you need me now?" I asked.

"No, but I have a surprise for you," he said.

"A surprise?"

"Yes, your friends can come over if they want, I just want you to see your surprise."

"Okay. I'll be there when I can." I hung up and saw that Alice had woken up too.

"Who has a surprise for you?" she asked.

"My dad," I said, "He said you guys can come over if you want."

"Yay!" she said, "I'm going to get ready."

When we were done getting ready we got in the car and headed to my house. When we pulled up we all headed inside.

"Dad, I'm here," I called out.

"In the kitchen," he called.

"Dad, what's this sur-," I stopped when I saw whom he was with. "Jake!" I yelled.

"Jake!" she yelled running toward him, hugging him.

"Hey, Bells," he said, laughing, "Who are your friends?" The real question is, who are you? I thought.

"These are my friends Alice and Edward," she said, "Guys this is my cousin Jake." Good, just a cousin.

He put out his hand, "Nice to meet you," I said. He nodded.

Later on we were sitting in the living room talking and Bella was cooking. "Have you ever had her cooking?" Jake asked. I shook my head, "Man you're missing out!" he said.

I laughed, "That good?" I asked.

"Oh yeah!" he said. Then we heard a crash in the kitchen. I looked in and saw Bella on the ground.

"Bella!" I said, jumping up. I got in there I kneeled down next to her, "You okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine," she said, "But I twisted my ankle."

I went to pick her up to carry her to a chair but stopped, "Can I pick you up?" I asked. I prayed she'd say yes.

She looked unsure for a minute. Then she nodded. I reached under her and gently picked her up. She wrapped her arms around my neck; it was the best feeling ever. I looked at her ankle and put some ice on it for her while Charlie cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, I could've sworn he was smiling.

"You okay?" I asked Bella.

She smiled, "I'm fine. I've had way worse happen to me," she said.

I nodded and helped her to her feet, since she insisted on continuing to cook. I went back to the living room with Jake and Alice; I realized Jake was staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing," he said, "I was just thinking that Bella must really trust you."

"Why?" I asked.

"She doesn't trust anyone and she never lets anyone touch her, expectably guys," he said, "But she let you pick her up. She won't even let me do that. Today was the first time she's hugged me in a while."

"Why won't she let anyone touch her?" Alice asked.

"She can tell you that when she's ready," he said.
