I do not own Twilight or any of these characters!

I wanted to clear something up. I made a stupid mistake in the last chapter. Edward and Bella ARE 16.

It hadn't been as bad as I excepted; Rosalie was the only one with a lot to say. Jasper stayed out of it, Emmett couldn't stop laughing, Alice tried to calm down Rosalie saying that she talked to Bella and her intentions are good, Esme stood by side and held a comforting hand to my shoulder the whole time Rose yelled, and Carsile understood, somewhat. So all in all it really wasn't that bad. After it was done I told them I wanted to go unpack and to call me for dinner. Hopefully I would fall asleep before then.

I still wasn't unpacked so there was boxes everywhere and I yet to have a bed. I kicked a box out of the way and made my way over to my couch. I laid my head back in my hands and sighed. It had been a long day. I started to think about Bella. Of course. Her nose, her hair, her smile, her eyes, her cheeks, her eyebrows. Bella Swan. Would surely be the death of me.

A soft knock came at the door. "Come in" I yelled.

"Hey" Alice came walking through the doorway, shutting it behind her and then leaning against it. "You okay?" She asked casually.

"I'm fine, why?"

"Ah, I'm just checkin', Rose can be mean you know, but she really is just looking out for what's best for you"

"I don't get why it's such a big deal, it's just some girl" Just some girl, right. I thought sarcastically.

"Yeah you're right, she is just some girl. I mean she's obviously stupid, and selfish, and mean" Before I had time to register what I was doing I defended Bella.

"No she's not!" I yelled. Alice looked up at me, smugly.

"She's not just some girl Edward, not to you" Oh, so she was using reverse physiology. Damn.

"No, I guess not." I admitted.

Alice snorted audibly. "Who would have thought that the first girl you like happens to be the least likely." She mused. I had to smile. "Remember Rebecca Tusk?" Rebecca Tusk was a girl who went to our school in Alaska. She was evil to the core. She was the Queen Bee, and everyone bowed down to her, except the Cullens, and I suppose that's why we had such a hard time in our old school. We all hated Rebecca Tusk.

"How could I forget her" I said sourly. Alice laughed.

"I guess that's what Bella could be" I hadn't thought of that. That Bella has just as much power over Forks High school as Rebecca had over hers. Bella could be like Rebecca, I shuttered at the thought.

"I couldn't really picture it" I said unevenly. Alice kicked her way through the boxes and sat at the end of the couch.

"Neither could I" She said pointedly. "But it could happen" She finished. And then a new expression tore at her face. "Do you remember when Rebecca made a bet with her friend, Holly; I think her name was that she could seduce Jasper. Of course Jasper never fed into it but Rebecca put on a pretty good front" I didn't get what the point of telling me this story was. I was there to witness it. It was sickening. Jasper was disgusted.

"Yes, I remember" I said slowly, to make it clear that I didn't get why she was saying this.

She looked at me like I was missing something. "Edward" She said slowly. And then it clicked. I could be the sick joke to Bella that Jasper was to Rebecca. I mechanically shook my head. "No, no Edward your taking this wrong" She must have seen the tears that were stinging my eyes. "I'm not saying that that is what Bella is doing, please let me finish" I stopped shaking my head and she continued talking. "I don't even know why I said that, I guess just reminiscing." She laughed at herself. "But what I'm unsuccessfully trying to say is, Bella isn't like Rebecca. And that is why" She paused, thinking about her words. "I think you should give it a chance" She concluded.

I knew exactly what she was talking about but I didn't want to admit it so easily. "Give what a chance?" I asked warily.

"Oh shut it Edward, everyone in this house accept maybe Rose can see you really like the girl." She obviously wasn't going to not let me admit it.

"Who cares" I said dismissively. "It's not like she would like me anyways" I shrugged my shoulders like it wouldn't matter either way. She laughed. At me.

"Right, Mr. Cool." sarcasm dripped from her words. "Anyway next time your head falls over your heals for a girl to you think you can give us a little warning, you know just common courtesy." She giggled. I chuckled and nodded my head.

"I will try my best"

"That's all I'm asking for." She patted my shoulder reassuringly and got up from the couch. She kicked her way out of my room and shut the door behind her.

"I have fallen Head over heels for Bella Swan." I admitted to myself with a sigh. "Nice" Sarcasm was cool sometimes.

"Hey dad, I'm sorry I'm-"

"Bella what the hell took you so long!?" He yelled.

"I'm sorry I got stuck at the school."

"Bella you know why I find that funny?" He was angry today. That wasn't good.

"Why?" I asked, cringing internally.

"Because you will never make anything good of yourself anyway, but yet I have to wait for my dinner because you waste your time trying." That one stung. A lot."Just go make yourself useful." He pointed to the kitchen. I nodded my head wordlessly and made my way quickly to the kitchen. I tried not to reflect the words my father had said; it was most likely true anyway. The way my life was going I would probably get pregnant out of high school and marry someone like Mike Newton, or at least that what I thought this morning. But during the course of my day, something changed. And Edward Cullen changed it.

"Bella hurry up with that crap, you god for nothing son of a-" I stopped listening.

I could only picture one thing. Edward. His smile, his nose, his hair, his smile, his eyes, his cheeks, his eyebrows, just him. In general. I didn't want to stop thinking about him either. Edward Cullen was someone that would surely change the course of my life.

It was with that thought I realized that I didn't just like the challenge of Edward, or like the idea that I could speak freely around him, no, I liked him. To say it in the least way I guess I just realized I had a crush on him. My first crush. But a more relative situation would be like if I was a was chief in the military and just figured out the I told all my men to shoot the wrong people and couldn't do anything to stop them or if I was a marine biologist and just dove into waters I wouldn't realize were shark invest until I was in one's stomach. Those would be likely comparisons, because what I just realized was nothing that could be reversed.

Because with realizing that I liked him, I realized something else;

I was in love with him.

And there was nothing I could do to stop it.


So I'm going away for a few days so I won't be able to update.

I actully have a beta now but since I'm in a rush to update I couldn't send her

Please review a lot so when I get home I can update right away.

Thank you!
