"Wait, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to impose; I was just trying to get to know you. See you smile" he whispered the last part. I shook my head rapidly and turned on my heel, continuing in my path. I know I must have confused him, but I couldn't help it. Once minute it was fine, and the next it was just too far. He didn't understand, and probably never would. I wouldn't let him get that close.

What had I done? One minute she was fine, and laughing. Oh god her laugh. It was like sweet bells chiming. And the next she was running away saying I needed to stay away. I needed to get a grip. She was just a girl. If she wasn't interested I should just leave her.
But I couldn't.
Something about her drew me to her and I couldn't get enough of Bella Swan. I had to do something to get her to accept me and I knew that if only she would open up to me, I'd be in with a chance. I needed a way to get her to tell me who Mason was. He was a major factor in this I could tell.
I had a sickly feeling that I knew who he was, but I didn't want to think it was true. It was too hard to believe.
But was it true?
I didn't know. But I planned on finding out.

I made my way back into the cafeteria, which was now deserted. I sat back at the small table and just stared off into space. It took me a few minutes to realise I was staring at Edward through the glass. He looked so natural and at home there. His amazing beauty shining out beyond the rest at me. It was like he physically shone and it caught my attention all the time.
He turned around and caught me looking. He sent a smile my way, his eyes glowing. I quickly looked down, pink no doubt staining my already flushed cheeks. When I snuck a glance back up I realised that he was no longer there. I scanned the area around a bit to try and see his glorious face again but to no avail.
"Looking for something?" I heard his melodic voice sound from the sound of me. I looked up to see him leant again the door frame that separated cold from heat. He looked like an angel ,and I found myself yearning to touch a part of him. His hair? His cheeks? I didn't know. Just something.
"No" I replied defiantly. He let out a soft chuckle.
"I was only wondering" He said back. He started to approach me and I found myself suddenly wanting him to be closer. What was wrong with me? Why was I suddenly so fixated on him?
He took the seat next to me and leant just slightly forward. He reached his hand out and gently stroked my flushed cheek. My heart raced and my eyes lids fluttered closed. Goosebumps appeared on my neck. How he got such a reaction I had no idea. Maybe he did this a lot. It wouldn't surprise me. He was gorgeous, and any girl would throw themselves at him.
"So beautiful" I heard him mutter. My eyes shot open.
"What?" I shot.
"What?" He replied suddenly alert.
"What did you just say?" I continued.
"I didn't say anything" He insisted. I shut up. I didn't want to push it if he was denying it. And knowing my luck he wouldn't have said anything, and I'd just imagined it then looked vain. His hand was still on my cheeks and it slowly dropped to rest on my shoulder. I bit my lip at the sudden awkwardness. Why did I have to say anything?! Why couldn't I have just kept my mouth shut.
"I don't feel too well. I'm gunna head home. Sorry" I said quietly and then rose from my seat t walk to my car. I spun around slowly.
"Edward" he looked at me from his hands in his lap. "Thanks. You kind of made me feel better today" I gratified him shyly. He let out a small but almost painful looking smile.
"It's no problem. I'm glad I could help" He replied, and I curtly nodded before making my way home.
At home: Later
I had just stopped crying.
Yes I was a wimp and started to bawl my eyes out as soon as I got home. I didn't even have a reason to but I did. What with Edward wanting to know about my past, and charming me at the same time, and my mum making things extremely awkward for me, the stress had gotten to me and I just needed an outlet. Hence the crying.
My mother was here.
Not 5 minutes after I had gotten in the phone rang.
I picked up the phone quickly, while putting down the glass of milk I had poured myself.
"hello?" I asked into the receiver.
"Bella? It's me honey. Why aren't you at school?" My mother rushed out at me.
"Oh hey. I was feeling ill so I came home." I stated simply. No need to tell her there was a new guy that for no reason had suddenly caught my attention, and I was slowly becoming obsessed with him despite his need to find out everything about my past. No, I didn't need to tell her that.
"Well honey we're here. I was ringing to see if Charlie was in but since you there both me and Phil can come up and bring Mason. Have you told Charlie?" She asked with a cautious voice.
"No. I haven't but I will. He needs to know. I mean, it's not like I've done anything wrong right?" I replied. Somehow my words didn't comfort me. I didn't believe them anyway.
"No. No honey. You haven't. It's just something about your past that you couldn't control. And I'm sure your father would think no less of you baby" My mother cooed, much like to a child.
"Anyway, you can come up now if you want. He'll not finish work for another few hours." I told her. We gave short goodbyes and put the phone down.
Here I was, sat in my father's living room with my mom and step dad, holding my baby once again. Now it's about time I came clean. Like I've said, as of my fifteenth birthday, my whole life was turned upside down. It was the first time my mother agreed that I could go out with my friends without having a specified place or home to go to. My friends said that it was about time we all got down to the beach and had a night fire. They were always the most beautiful things and I thought, what better way to spend my birthday?
Me and my friends were down there for a good few hours, and once the fire was burnt out we all agreed to head home. Unfortunately I lived in a different direction to the rest and that left me walking alone. At half past eleven at night. On my way home, I got the feeling I was being watched and started to have a panic attack. That's when he jumped at me. It was a guy called James that was 2 years above me in school. He was crazy and had watched me all the time while in school. He saw his chance and took it. I got one look at his face before blacking out. You can guess the rest.
9 and a half months later and along came my bundle of baby boy joy, mason. I loved him from the moment I saw him and never wanted to let him go. However, I simply couldn't stay in Phoenix. Everywhere I went reminded me of the incident and him. I couldn't stand it and so my mum sent me to live with Charlie. Without Mason. I hated leaving him but knew it was for the best. I wouldn't have been able to care for him alone and knew my mum would do a good job of raising her grandchild. Plus I didn't have the guts to let Charlie know. He would be devastated.
So for the last 2 years I've only seen my beautiful baby boy at the holidays, when I would visit my mum. About 4 times a year. 8 times. In 2 years I've only seen my son 8 friggin' times. And you have no idea how great it was to hold him again.
The good thing was that he knew I was his mom. I had worried that he would forget who I was and start to think of Renée as his mother. But he knew me.
My mother was overjoyed to see us together again and so was I.
Just then there was a knock at the door. Not thinking about who it would be, I jumped up and answered the door with Mason still in my arms. The site before me was the Cullen's and Hale's staring at me with identical looks. Shocked.
"Bella? Hey, who's this?" Alice asked me. I panicked. What was I to tell them.
"He's my brother. Half. Mom and Phil are here" i pointed to the room and they seemed convinced.
"Aww. He's so cute" Alice and Rosalie cooed. Emmett smiled at him with a goofy grin and Jasper just smiled sweetly at seeing Alice interact with the baby. I scanned all their faces again and they were convinced thoroughly.
Apart from one.
I looked at Edward to see a knowing look on his face. And also.... Heartbroken? At least that's what it looked like.
I looked him in the eye and we stared endlessly at each other.
He knew.
End of.
Oooh. I would say bet you never saw that coming but I kinda knew most of you did LMAO. Please review and hopefully I will get the next chapter up soon. I'm on a roll now so maybe they will be shooting up quick. But only with REVIEWS!
