Once again, Bella's clothing that Alice picked out of her closet (which is also on there) is on my profile.

As we continued to kiss, we didn't even hear the front door open and somebody walk in the kitchen until we heard Emmet say, "Hey, I smell some disgusting chicke-Oh! Wow!"
I pulled away from Edward and pushed him away of me. I was beyond horrified while Emmet was laughing and watching us with his family.
Alice, Esme, and Carlisle were smiling like they knew this was going to happen. Rosalie had a little grin on her face, along with Jasper.
Before anyone could speak, I got off the floor and ran upstairs to my room, leaving the chicken on the counter, the Cullens standing there smiling, and Edward on the floor thinking god knows what.
Chapter 7
Saved – The Spill Canvas
I am unbreakable but it looks like I could sometime soon
And you are unreachable about as possible as me touching the moon
I am unraveling unbearably empty
and if this ground gives way I just hope that you'll catch me.
You came and saved me tonight
Defending all my life
Whoa, now I'm content with my breath cause I'm alive
And this is the epitome of everything you see in the movies
And this world is a time bomb ticking and I think I can stop it if you help me.
I am unraveling unbearably empty and if this ground gives way I just hope that you'll catch me.
You came and saved me tonight
Defending all my life
Whoa, now I'm content with my breath cause I'm alive
My faith will never rust
No longer to prone bust
Oh finally I believe...
You came and saved me tonight
Defending all my life
Now I'm content with my breath
You came and saved me tonight
Defending all my life
Now I'm content with my breath
Cause I'm alive
Cause I'm alive...
My first official day with the Cullens and I was already embarrassed. I never wanted to go down there again, but I knew I had to. I'd be here a whole year. Maybe even more.
I sighed as I sat on my bed. I was already on the verge of tears, and I wouldn't be surprised if I were to look in a mirror that I'd have swollen lips and a red face.
I laid down in the middle of my bed. I just let the tears go. My eyes suffused with liquid and they began to fall. The teardrops exited my eyes. They ran down my temples. They soaked my ears and my hair. Tears reminded me of life. You start out at the top and then, somehow, work your way down. Then either you drown or you wish you would drown.
"Knock, knock. Hi, Bella.", I rubbed my eyes and sat up as Alice entered the room. She moved to sit down on the bed with me.
"Alice, what you saw down there, th-that was a one t-time thing. It won't hap-", I tried to explain to her, but she interrupted with, "Don't worry about it. It's forgotten. No one will mention it."
"Thank you, Alice. Thanks for everything. Thanks for saving me. You and your family got me out of Damon's place. If it wasn't for all of you, I'd probably be dead by now."
"No problem. Now, lets go downstairs." She was really enthusiastic. I couldn't help but smile and laugh.
"I can't go down there!"
"I knew you were going to say that, and I agree.", she started with a mischievous grin as she eyed me, "You can go downstairs when you get you showered and once I straighten your hair!"
I groaned and refused, but cracked after about five seconds of her wide-eyed and pouting face. After I showered and got dressed in the new clothing-that are unwrinkled and uncomfortable seeing as it is a night gown not covering enough-Alice had gotten for me out of my gigantic walk-in closet, she made me sit down and she got to work straightening my hair.
As Alice was straightening my hair, she explained all about her family. How everyone was changed, who was first to join and who was last to join their coven, how Alice could see the future, how Jasper could control emotions, and how Edward could read minds.
"So, Edward can read everyone's mind?", I asked Alice, worried that he had heard what I was thinking whenever I was near him.
"Almost everyone's. You are the one exception. It drives him absolutely mad and thank you for that.", she said, laughing a wonderful bell sound.
Instantly, my worrying began to ease. If he could have read my mind earlier, I don't know what I'd do.
While Alice was telling me about their time in Alaska, she mentioned the name Tanya.
"Hey, Alice? Was that Tanya the same Tanya I know, killed?"
"Yes, it is. She had quite the crush on Edward. Almost everyday while we were up there, she offered to go hunting with him or listen to music with him. It was pretty disturbing."
I didn't reply. I was too preoccupied thinking if Edward had ever accepted her offer. For some odd reason, I began to get angered towards Tanya even though it really wasn't her fault. Edward is very attractive and if I was ever as beautiful as Tanya, I'd wonder if he'd ever consider going out with me. I mean, if I wasn't supposed to make a meal out his kind.
"Come on, Bella. I know you want to ask if Edward always accepted his offer. Since you won't because you're a coward, I'll just tell you. No, he didn't!", said Alice teasingly, breaking through my thoughts.
I blushed, "Alice, please, stop. He is probably right downstairs. Oh my gosh! He's right downstairs! After what happened, I can't go down there."
"Relax, Bella! He is not here. Stop freaking out. He's out hunting, so you won't have to see him tonight."
"Oh...okay. S-sorry about that. Alice....are we done yet?"
"Yes, yes. We are. Sorry, I never get to do this anymore. Especially to some one that is more human than I am.", she said, putting away everything as I got up.
"Okay. So here's what we're doing. Carlisle and Esme are at the hospital, saying they wanted the 'kids' to get to know each other. Jasper, Emmet, and Rosalie are downstairs waiting for us. Edward is hunting. You and I are going to go down there. All of us are going to watch a movie. You get to pick."
"Umm, okay.", I said, still terrified that Edward just may be down there.
"Lets go then!"
When we walked out of my room and down the stairs, I saw everyone that Alice said would be here. Everyone was in pajamas even though they don't really sleep.
As we rounded the corner, and before I even got a full view of the living room, I could smell that vehemently lush scent of the one guy Alice said would not be here tonight.
Edward.
Please review,
If you don't, thats perfectly fine, thanks anyway.
