EDWARD'S POV
I spent these next few days thinking what if Bella really was here, instead of Forks. And then it hit me. Hard. She can't be in Forks because she stopped growing. OMFG! That means her control over blood is starting to waver I have to help her. But how am I going to do that if I left her, she might not trust me anymore. I'll join her dancing school, that way I will not disturb her at school. Man, this is a shitty plan.
I don't care anymore I just want to get lost in her eyes and hold her in my arms, protecting her from all the bad things life throws at her.
Edward is sulking, again. That boy doesn't know how to have a life besides torturing himself. "Try keeping your hands and eyes from Alice during 15 years, and then talk to me." I said to Jasper not bothering to speak up since we all had super-hearing. Touché. I smirked at his and Alice are always butting in on something.
With one last thought about Bella, I went downstairs to help my family unpack. After all was set and done I decided to help Alice with her wardrobe complex, since everyone else went hunting. "Alice, can I help with anything?"
"YES! Yes, you can! Make more room in the closet and then come back, hang and organize these according to color, and when you see Bella in the dance studio near by don't say 'It's me Edward. Remember?' that will piss her off."
"Ok. Wait, What?"
"Edward, don't complain and just do what you were told to do."
"How do you know what I was going to say to Bella, no, how do you know Bella is here?" I was so confused with what she just said.
"Well, I don't know for sure but I think I can see the future or better yet an unfaithful view of the future. When someone makes a decision I'll know what it is." She said this so fast and low that it was hard to understand it all.
"Have you told anyone?"
"No, but Jasper is starting to suspect something about me, I didn't want to tell everyone before I was sure." I was so surprised with Alice, I knew something was going on with her but I never suspected it might be this.
"I'm really glad you're going to share this with our family soon. And thank you for your tip about Bella; as soon as I can I will bring her here, that way you can have some much needed 'girl-time' with Bella." With my last statement Alice smiled so wide that I thought her face might crack, the rest of the time was spent unpacking Alice's bags while listening to The Kooks.
Later that night Alice and I summoned a family meeting we were going to tell everything to everyone.
"We just wanted to share some news to everyone." Alice announced without further delay she said "I can see an 'unfaithful' view of the future and Bella is right here in Alaska." Utter silence reined the room that is until Emmett started howling like only a fool knows how. "Woo Hoo! My little Alice will make me a rich man and Edward won't be a fucking emo anymore!" with that everyone laughed. Emmet is a complete arse. I don't know to whom that thought belonged but it just made laugh harder.
When the laughter died out Jasper cleared his throat "Since it's 'secret sharing time' I would like to say…" He didn't have the chance to finish because Alice just ran over to him jumping up and down and squealing like a schoolgirl, that's when I saw it. It was like a little video of Jasper saying 'I can sense other people emotions' "Umm, as I was saying…" Again he didn't finish the sentence because I said, "You can sense other people emotions" He sighed a little frustrated that it wasn't him to give the news, but nevertheless he smiled and said "Exactly" with a big smile.

The next day I was at the dance centre where I was sure Bella was training. After a few random questions I started asking things that made the secretary think of several students and suddenly what seemed to be Bella's face popped in her head a few more minutes of talking I managed to be put in the same class as her. My first class started today at 7pm, until then I had plenty of time to kill.
I was at the local library when my phone started buzzing. I went outside to answer the call and without having time to ask who was it Alice was screaming at me because I was not with them in the high school that we should be visiting to see if we could fit properly in this town. So without further delay I went to meet them, cursing under my breath while I tried to get in the Audi that belonged to Jasper.
When I arrived there most of the students that only had classes in the morning were already gone so the school was on that short brake of transition. After a little scouting I found my family all chatting animatedly with each other. What a rare sight! "Could anyone explain what is going on here?" I was really confused, why were they so happy? Alice started to explain:
"Oh! Edward this school is so cool! It has classes that we never took! And it has a sports club that Emmet adores, a cheerleading squad for Rosalie, a radio and movies club for Jasper, an arts and crafts for me which allows me to make my own clothes and for you it has a…" I think this was a lame attempt to make suspense. "You are going to say the music club aren't you?" I asked a little annoyed that she thought that I should play with dumb kids. "FOR YOU THERE'S A DANCE CLUB!" Good thing she doesn't think I'm boring enough to join a music club. "Well, I already signed myself for dance classes this morning at another place. Sorry." Her face fell a little as I said it, but it was where Bella danced so no way was I going to quit. "Oh." Abruptly her amber colored eyes turned glassy and I saw Bella and me talking. "OoOohh!" Alice, once again acted like a little girl by making those annoying sounds when gossip is good. That must've been a vision. Wow! Rosalie sometimes thinks beyond her reflex.
By the end of our tour it was 6pm and I had to get ready for my dance class.
I was going to bid farewell to my family when Alice beated me to it. " Yes, Edward you may go, but be sure to use what's on top of your sofa otherwise I'm going to gauge your eyes out!" When it came to fashion this little pixie is a scary little pixie.

I went to my designated class and waited in the shadows by the door, after a few minutes a blonde guy walked past me eager to start and his thoughts were about the first place he had won just the other day… What a boring guy. A few moments later a beautiful brunette passed by; she had deep brown eyes that you could get lost in and her scent Ah! Her scent is the most beautiful smell in the world. My Bella! Before she could enter the room I called her name in that low frequency that only vampires could hear. Startled she turned around at the same time I came out of the shadows she gasped and her eyes filled with tears "Hi Bella, you look beautiful." We stared at each other for a long time. "Hi Edward, wha-what are you doing here?" I smirked "I'm here to have a dance lesson and of course, to see you. You are very beautiful" She blushed at my compliment and much to my dismay she looked down. "So the dance lesson?" So typical, dodging the attention. It's so good to have her back. "Yes, I'm on your class. Don't I deserve a hug?" I know I was pushing the limits but I might as well ask. "Uh… I don't think so. I mean it's really nice to see you and all but…" I couldn't take it; I just hugged her and buried my face on her hair. What was amazing was that she immediately relaxed in my arms, just like the old times. "I missed you Bella. But it's time for our dance class." I can just picture somebody walking on us. "I missed you too, Edward. Let's get going." With that our embrace was broken and we headed towards our dance class, I didn't like to share Bella as a dance partner, I also didn't approve of how Mike held Bella. Although I had a great time dancing with Bella I really didn't like the perverted thoughts Newton was having. At the end of class I said that I had something I would love to show her, just then my phone rang, it was Alice.
"Alice! I'm going to bring her home that way you can all see her!"
"Edward, take her out of there right now! Hurry!"
"Uh. Okay. We'll HAVE to talk later"
"Yes, I know now hurry!"
I turned around to find Bella already in my car with a painful expression on her face.
"I have to get you out of here." I said understanding what was happening to her
"Yes, indeed you have. HURRY."
Good thing that Jasper's Audi could burn some rubber.

Before I went home I took Bella to the woods so she could clear her head, I know perfectly well what it feels like when your control wavers and you have to fight all your natural instincts, sometimes remembering that you have to maintain whatever of your humanity is left just won't cut it.
Bella was finally starting to calm down by pacing back and forward, and that was driving me crazy, I had to have her in my arms just feel her against my chest, make her relax so I could relax. I can't tell her the news; I have to preserve this being by what it is, beautiful and innocent.
"Bella, are you feeling any better?" I was trying not to disturb her now serene spirit, but as those words left my lips I felt her sigh and disengage her self from me. "The control I had is faltering, as you just seen. I'm afraid I may be starting to become a… a uhm… a bloodsucking monster." Her voice trembled and cracked with tears that were now sliding freely down her face. "Shhh, Bella. It's all going to be ok. Shh." I tried my best to sooth her down, I whispered sweet things in her ears and kissed the top of her head several times in an attempt to calm her, after a few minutes of us sitting in the woods and her comfortably settled between my legs with her face resting on my chest, she fell asleep. I just sat there hugging her close to me.
Her chest was rising and falling ever so lightly; you would think her last breath was moving through her. But I knew better than to wake her up, last time I did that she was really mad at me. I chuckle when I remembered that. I think an hour must've passed by, but I was in total bliss. At least I thought I was because, suddenly my name fell from her lips, startled I checked to see if she was sleeping and by confirming that, I chuckled again silently, able to understand that Bella sleep talked. I waited patiently for her to speak again but my name came with the company of one of the most wonderful words that ever existed. 'Forever'. Now, I was in total bliss.
We had been in the woods for about 3 hours, and it started to get a little too chilly even for Bella. So, against her will -and mine- I woke her up. "Bella, love, its time to wake up." I shook her carefully so I wouldn't startle her.
Without me knowing how, she shot out of my arms and was now facing me just a couple of meters far off.
"Oh, good! It's just you!" It took me a few seconds to get over the shock but I managed to ask her if she still wanted to meet my family, or go home. Being as she was – cute, polite and charming – she still wanted to meet them.
"Bella, as you can remember this is Esme, Carlisle, Emmett and Rosalie." I really wanted to surprise her so I made Alice hide along with Jasper until the time was right.
"Hey, it's really nice to see you all again!" Bella said hugging everyone in turn with a kind smile in place. After a few moments Bella had a huge smile on her face while talking to my family. As we all heard a door bang shut I decided to tell Bella the news about Alice.
"Bella, we would like you to meet our new members in this family." I went over to her and grabbed a hold on her shoulders be for I continued, " You've met them before so don't freak out." I felt her tense and nod her head. After a deep unnecessary breath I called them in. The moment they all saw each other they started hopping up and down like three pre-teens in a Jonas Brothers concert.
"Oh my god! BELLAAAA! I'm so happy to see you!" Alice and Bella squealed and Jasper started laughing like crazy.
As things started to settle down, I asked the question that was buzzing in everybody's head for the past 15 years, How did Alice and Jasper know that Bella was alive? Well we were about to find out.
"Alice, Bella and Jasper it's time you explain everything to everyone." All three of them grimaced but nodded rather reluctantly.
I'm sorry it took me this long to post this!
I will try and post more soon.
