A/N: First off, let me start off by saying that I'm sorry for not updating for awhile. School has been hectic and my English teacher loves to pile as much homework on us as possible so that we have no free time whatsoever. Yeah, honors sucks ass. But on the plus side, I'm gonna try to update like my life depends on it, because I know if I don't update in a reasonable time, my readers are gonna come in angry mob form, strap me to a chair, and make me post nonstop. (I know a couple of you are doing your evil laughs right know and it chills me to the core that I am hearing it in my head. Lol, just kidding.) Now, sorry for the long A/N and… ONWARD TO FORKS!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------Chapter 5 ------------------------------------------------------------

"You know, you look very beautiful. Then again, you are a very beautiful person. And I love your eye color. Are they contacts?" Derek said as we I got onto his motorcycle behind him. Good thing I changed into jeans.

"Wait- what?" I opened the purse that Alice had strapped me with and began to examine my eyes. They were, in fact, the old chocolate brown color they've always been. And to add to that I was slightly blushing. "Well, that sucks. No, this is my natural eye color. I'll have to talk to Carlisle about this when I see him. Oh, god, I can still blush. I guess old habits really do die hard."

"What do you mean?" He was obviously confused and had a hard time keeping up with my scatter- brained verbal thoughts.

"Well, when I was human I used to blush at everything, so I guess now everyone still gets to see when I'm embarrassed or flattered or something." Understanding spread on his face.

"Oh, I see. Well, your ex-" We were zooming down the road at an extremely high speed, but it felt like we were flying. His driving's better than Edward's.

"Edward" I corrected

"Yes, Edward. Edward must have been very stupid to let you go."

"Extremely. So, what do you wanna watch?" I didn't notice we were already at the movies.

"Umm I don't know. How does This Christmas sound?"

"Great." We- well, he, paid for our tickets and walked into the theatre.

After the movie we hopped back on the motorcycle and started driving. "So, Miss Swan, where do you want to go?"

"Well, I gotta go get some clothes from the Cullen's, but then we can go home."

"Okay." For the rest of the ride to the Cullen's we talked about the movie. We talked about the funny parts, what we did and didn't like, ect. When we got up to the house the door swung open and Alice appeared from behind it.

"Bella! You're back already? I thought you'd be gone for a while! Well, it's a good thing you're back. Edward needs you."

"Grr, okay. Whatever. I'll be right back Derek." I walked up to his room and opened the door. Knocking is not one of my strong points. Edward was sitting on the couch with his head down listening to 'Hate That I Love You' by Rihanna and Ne-yo.

"New music choice?" I sat on the floor in front of him with my legs crossed.

"I was tired of my cds co I took Rose's IPod." He looked up at me and gestured to the IPod base by his stereo. I shrugged and got straight to the point.

"Well, I'm here."

"Hi" I rolled my eyes and continued talking.

"What did you need me for?"

"To talk."

"So… talk."

"Okay… How's Charlie?"

"Dead." I turned my head away so he couldn't see my eyes darken with rage.

"Sorry. If you don't mind me asking, how?" I sighed and looked back at Edward, hoping my eyes were back to the brown.

"Victoria. She left a note saying that since we were broken up she needed to get someone that I loved and Charlie was the easiest to get. She beat him up and placed him by the stairs to make it look like he had a heart attack and fell down."

"So she got away?" Did he really just ask that?

"No, Edward. I like totally used my super human strength and clumsiness to rip her apart and kill her."

"Okay, drop the sarcasm. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking."

"That's been happening allot lately."

"What, me apologizing or not thinking."

"Both. Can I go now? My date isn't exactly over."

"Then why are you here?"

"To get clothes."

"Oh. He's no good for you Bells."

"Funny, that's the same thing Jacob said about you."

"Don't bring that stupid dog into this."

"And this is where I leave." I walked out his room and down the stairs. As soon as I got on the second floor to go to Alice's room, Ashley stopped me.

"You still don't know what stay away from my man means, do you?"

"Oh, he's your man? I really didn't know, since he thinks you're delusional and all."

"Whatever. Look, you better stay away from him. And this is your last warning." She was really getting on my last nerve.

"You know what? Let's settle this right now." I grabbed her by her wrist and dragged her into Edward's room. "Hey, Edward. Just so you know, your delusional girlfriend says that I just had my last warning and I have to stay away from you. So you might be without a girlfriend for a while." He looked a bit taken aback and was too shocked to talk.

"Look here you home wrecking bitch. Just leave us alone and let us be happy. He was just fine without you." I hardly- listened to what she said. After she called me a home wrecking bitch, I completely tuned here out and let rage consume my body. I don't know what possessed me to do what I did next, but whatever it was, I loved the felling. With one quick motion, I reached up and punched Ashley right in her face. She fell back on the ground with a thud. Edward still stood there, the shock and approval clear on his face. She snapped back to reality and stood up. As she did this, everyone came rushing into the room, all going against the wall so we had space. Ashley punched me into the stomach and when I doubled over, she tried to punch me in the face, but I dodged and threw her on the other side of the room. While she was on the ground I assaulted her with punches and slaps. She dodged a few and then flipped me so I had my back on the ground and unleashed her own round of punches. During the whole fight, Emmet and Jasper were making sound effects and acting as commentators. I kicked her off of me into the wall by the door and put a small crack in it. Okay, so it was a huge crack. Esme was fuming and finally spoke up – well, yelled quite loudly- about our fight. "YOU TWO SOP FIGHTING RIGHT NOW! YOUR GONNA KNOCK DOWN MY WHOLE DAMN HOUSE!" Carlisle calmed her and took her from Edward's room. As soon as Esme and Carlisle left the room, Ashley came flying at me, but Rose grabbed her by her hair. She got her a second too late, because she grabbed for me but caught my shirt and ripped it right off of me when Rose pulled her back. I made a move towards her and Derek grabbed me around my waist.

"Let me go, Derek. The little slut is getting exactly what she deserves."

"Calm down first."

"How about I kill her then calm down?" I struggled against his grasp, but he just held on tighter.

"How about not?"

"Dammit Derek, LET ME FUCKING GO!"

"No"

"She said let her go." Edward finally talked.

"Why don't you mind your own business?" Derek said back.

"Why don't you make me?" Derek gently pushed me aside and he and Edward started walking towards each other.

"Umm, Jasper, a little help??" I said, jumping between them with my hands on both of their chest. They both were fighting against me and way to strong for me to still try to hold back. "JASPER CALM THEM DOWN!"

"I think you need to be calmed down." He mumbled as he sent a few calm waves over the room. I threw Edward's stereo remote at him and he caught it and tossed it on the couch. After a while everyone had themselves under control and I was completely healed with no evidence of my fight with Ashley. She, on the other hand, took a bit longer to heal. Alice had given me a new shirt to put on and Ashley had left the house.

"Wow, Bella, where'd you learn to fight like that?" Emmett was obviously amazed by my fighting skills.

"When I was little, Rene made us take a couple classes together. No big deal." I shrugged and walked over to Derek, who was leaning against the wall with the crack.

" Emmett can this crack be fixed? I really would like to live and I think Esme is about ten seconds away from ending my life (no pun intended)"

Emmett chuckled. "Don't worry Belly- poo! That wittle crack will be fixed up in no time!" He turned and skipped- yes, I said skipped- out of the room.

"Call me Belly-poo again and I'll be using your head to play soccer!" I yelled after him.

"Aww, I love you too, Bella! And you can't play soccer!"

"No one even think about calling me that name or trust me, you will pay." I looked around the room and stopped to glare at Alice who looked like she was seriously contemplating it. She smiled, giggled, and blew me a kiss. I rolled my eyes and focused on Derek.

"Ready to go?"

"Don't you have to talk to Carlisle?" He stood up straight and took his keys out his back pocket.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot." I went down the hall to Carlisle's office and raised my hand to knock.

"Come in, Bella."

"How'd you know it was me?" I walked in and shut the door behind me.

"Well, you might not know this, but you still smell the same as you did when you were human."

"Hmm… Oh yeah! That's what I wanted to talk to you about! Why do I still have human characteristics?"

"What do you mean?" He got up from his desk and stood right in front of me.

"Well, for instance, my eyes are still brown and I can still blush.

"I'm gonna try something for a second. Focus on having blue eyes." Closed my eyes and opened them again. Carlisle gasped.

"I think I know what your power is, Bells."

"What is it?" My curiosity was growing and I couldn't contain my excitement. I was bouncing around like Alice does.

"Illusions."
