Guys I am losing reviews. I am the kind who says "this much review or no update". I will continue this story no matter what. But that really let me down.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except Lily.

Enjoy the chapter.

I stretched and yawned. The couch was oddly comforting. That had me confusing because I'll always feel tired when I sleep in couch. I yawned again.

I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"You look cute when you are like that" said a voice. That irritating, teasing voice belonged to none other than Emmett. I rolled my eyes and got out of the blanket that covered me.

I don't remember what I did after I got here at all. That had me worried. I felt guilty.

"Sorry I crashed in here" I said sleepily.

"No problem. Here" he said as he handed me a toothpaste and brush.

"Thanks" I said.

As soon as I turned towards the bathroom I heard the door open and in came Alice.

"Can I dress you up?" Alice asked bouncing up and down.

She made me feel like a Barbie doll. I stared at her as if telling her to say I am kidding.

She put on a puppy dog face and I couldn't resist her.

"Ah!" I groaned in frustration. "A-Alright. Do it" I said helplessly.

"Yay" she jumped up and down.

I shook my head as I showered. I tried to make some sense out of my life. I came to understand only one thing: It doesn't make any sense at all.

I wrapped a towel around myself and peeped out. It was clear. I stepped out and went to the couch. I gasped as I was the dress. Leave it to Alice to go overboard.

The dress on the couch was a blue gown. I am going to school not to any dance. The dress was exceedingly awesome. That colour would do great with my pale complexion.

"Alice" I hissed.

She came in giggling. "Do you like it? All boys are going to be lusting after you" she said.

I blushed and said "Get me a jeans and shirt, Alice" I said.

She seemed out but ... Jesus. She can't have expected me to wear that... that thing.

She handed me a faded jeans and a t-shirt.

"That's more like it" I said and started wearing my clothes.

I brushed my hair and it hung across my back freely.

I had to admit that Alice was great in dresses. She knows about that a lot. I looked ... hot in this dress. I blushed at myself for having such thoughts.

I was about to go out when Alice and Rosalie came in with ... horrible things in their hand. My eyes widened.

There is no way I am going to wear make-up.

"No." I yelled and I ran out.

I obviously didn't think I could outrun 2 vampires but still I am not wearing that paint on my face.

I ran straight into a wall.

"Ow" I said.

"Sorry" said a soft female voice.

It took me a second to realize that it wasn't a wall I ran into. It was Mrs. Cullen. I was in the living room.

"I am sorry Mrs. Cullen. I was trying to escape the evil your daughters are trying to do me. I didn't see you"

"Call me Esme. What are they trying to do?" she asked me.

"Trying to put make-up on me" I sighed.

She laughed. I noticed there was a dimple on her cheeks. She was really beautiful. She looked like she had just jumped out of a fairy tale.

"Good Morning, Lily." said a soft voice from the doorway. I smiled as I saw Carlisle.

"I am really sorry to cause trouble. I was tired yesterday and I couldn't understand anything" I said looking down and biting my lip.

"It wasn't a problem at all" said Esme.

I smiled at her. She looked like she was controlling something. She hesitantly patted my back. I just turned and hugged her. She looked shocked and her body stiffened for a second but then she graciously hugged me back.

"You shouldn't have done that" Rosalie said coming into the living room.

"Did I do anything wrong?" I asked shocked.

"No. It is just sometimes hard to control our thirst if you are too close. You can do that when we are not thirsty. Good thing you didn't hug Jasper." she explained.

"Hey Lily" Emmett said entering the living room, hugging and swirling me around. I shrieked and he let me down.

He was standing next to me. Jasper came in next. I don't know why but I had the absurd thought to hide behind Emmett's big figure. I tried to push that thought away but I still clutched his shirt.

I had to admit I was feeling bloody terrified to be in same room as Jasper. He was sending death glares at me in Port Angeles. I suddenly felt myself relax. How is that possible? I pushed that thought aside. There were more pressing matters in hand. I slowly looked up to see him. I breathed a sigh in relief. He wasn't glaring.

I smiled. He returned it. I tried to say hello but I couldn't. I cleared my throat and tried again.

"Hi."

"Hey" he said.

I didn't make any contact with him as I remembered Rosalie's warning in my head.

What was the time? I looked around. It was 8 in the morning.

"Where is Edward?" I asked suddenly noticing that he wasn't there.

"Busy stalking your sister" Emmett said grinning like mad.

My eyes widened. "You mean he is with Bella now? In her room?" I asked horrified.

"Yes" he said laughing at my expression.

That really took a minute to sink in.

"I have to get going" I said.

"Where?" Jasper asked.

"To school" I said without thinking.

"How will you go?" Rosalie asked.

"No way you are walking and going" Alice hissed suddenly.

I jumped a foot into air. I didn't see her enter at all. She was really hard to notice.

How did she know I was walking to school?

"How do you suppose I go then?" I asked.

"Emmett's dropping" she said.

Ok. I nodded my head.

Everyone went for changing their dress. I sighed and sat in the couch in living room.

Only Jasper was in the room. I didn't feel nervous or afraid now at all.

"Where did I sleep last night?" I asked.

"In Emmett's room. We don't have guest room. We never have visitors." He said grinning. I grinned back.

"Why were you here last night?" he asked.

"Fight with sister" I said.

I don't know why I was telling him but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all when I was speaking with him.

"Ok" he said. I was glad he didn't ask anything further. I was reading a magazine when Emmett came out.

"Come on" he said lifting me off the couch. I was glad when I didn't lose balance.

"Bye Esme. Thank you Carlisle" I said as I ran out.

As soon as I entered the car Emmett gave me a package.

"That is your breakfast. Esme packed it" he said.

I couldn't believe how hungry I was. Last time I ate was yesterday morning. I slowly took a bite out of my sandwich. It was delicious.

"This is awesome" I said pointing to the sandwich.

"How can you eat that... that thing?" he said making a disgusted face. I laughed.

Soon we were in school. God help me. What am I going to tell my friends and Bella?

First thing as soon as I got down was Edward. He was just 2 cars away. I went to him and hugged him from behind. My hands were above his shoulders. He wasn't surprised. I expected that too. He would have smelled me coming.

My chin rested in his shoulder and I whispered in his ear "Did you enjoy last night?" I asked.

"Immensely." He said smiling.

I laughed and let him go. He turned around and smiled.

"Hey. How was your night at my home?" he asked.

"How did you know I was there? I thought you were in Bella's room." I asked.

"I came in the morning to change my clothes." I said.

"It was great" I said.

"Is anything wrong between you and Bella?" he asked.

"Why do you ask?" I asked.

"She was ... restless in her sleep and she kept mumbling "sorry" and your name" he explained.

"That's nothing actually" I shrugged.

He let out a frustrated sigh.

As soon as bell rang I waved and said bye to him. Thankfully no one saw me. No one bombarded me with questions. I went to class.

During lunch I first went to my table with all my friends already sitting there.

"Hey" I said.

There was a murmur of hi's, hello's and hey's.

I didn't sit down. I just said "I have to sit with Edward today. Sorry guys."I said.

"You mean Cullen?" Dean asked with his eyebrows wriggling in an annoying way.

"No way" the girls gasped.

"He is single, isn't he?" Stan asked frowning.

"Yes but I am not going to date him Stan" I said throwing my hands into air and rolling my eyes.

Every guy visibly relaxed. I frowned.

"What's with the frown?" Andrew asked as he touched my lips.

"Nothing" I said pulling away going to an empty table.

I sat in an empty table. I was waiting for them when Edward came and sat in front of me with his tray full.

"Hi" I said.

"Are you not going to eat something?" he asked.

"No. I am not hungry."I replied.

"That's not a reason at all" he said as pushed a Coke towards me.

I took and opened it.

"What did you want to talk about?" he asked after a long minute passed.

"Is something bothering you?" I asked.

"Why do you ask that?" he asked.

"You act weird. Weirder than usual, I mean. Whenever you talk about Bella, one second you smile and the next you frown. What is that all about?" I asked, m eyes on the Coke, which I was playing with in my hand

He didn't say anything for a whole minute. I was starting to feel nervous. Maybe I am crossing my line.

You shouldn't have asked him. It was personal. He is going to ignore you now like everyone. Why can't you shut up that stupid mouth? A part of brain asked me.

I was become more restless by each passing second. When I couldn't stand any longer I spoke.

"I am sorry. I shouldn't have asked" I said frowning.

"No. No. It's not that. I am trying to phase my thoughts into words." He said.

I relaxed. I slowly took a sip of my Coke having nothing else to do. He suddenly spoke.

"It is complicated. This relationship, I mean. A Vampire with a human. I am afraid, I admit. There is a term called singer in vampires." He said.

"I know. Carlisle told me." I interrupted.

"Well, Bella is my singer. I know I won't hurt her intentionally. But what if I do something to her. I can crush her skull by mistake. I don't know what to do. I know I shouldn't endanger her like that. At the same time I can bear to be away from her. I am really in purgatory." He said and sighed.

"Look at me" I said softly. He did.

"You won't hurt her. You love her too much to hurt her." I smiled at him.

"What will happen when she dies? She is human. She is bound to die of old age or anything" he asked.

"You can turn her into a vampire." I suggested.

His eyes flashed angrily.

"Don't go giving her ideas like this." He spat at me.

I flinched visibly.

"I am sorry. That is a touchy subject for me" he sighed.

"I am sorry too" I said.

"Your friend suspects something is going on between us" he said chuckling.

"How would you know that?" I asked sipping my Coke again.

"I can read minds."

If anything, I didn't expect that. I chocked on my Coke. I was thankful when I didn't spray it on him.

I coughed and sputtered for a second. Then I became normal. His face was bemused. It was like he was enjoying my reactions. I glared at him.

"Don't spring stuffs like that on me" I said. Carlisle told some vampires bring have special abilities. But reading minds... every thought, personal feelings... Urg!

"I'll try. I am not the only one laughing." He said pointing to his family.

I turned. Emmett and Jasper was shaking with laughter. Rosalie was giggling. Alice smiled at me.

"I like only Alice in your family" I said glaring at all of them. Alice beamed at me.

"She stopped because she knew that you will turn." He said shrugging.

"How could she know that? Can she read minds too?" I asked.

"No. She can see future." He said.

"Are you going to tell me that Jasper can shoot lightening out of his eye?" I asked, clearly surprised.

"No. He can control your emotions though." Edward said. His eyes were glinting mischievously.

"Okay. What can others do?" I asked.

"Nothing. They are normal vampires." He said.

Being a vampire is itself an abnormal thing. What could be normal in that?

"All right. Tell me what I am thinking now." I said.

His face again went back to frustrating.

"I don't know. I can read anyone's mind but yours and Bella's. I don't know why. But it is so frustrating." He said.

"Thank god" I said without really thinking.

He glared at me playfully. "What? I don't want anyone looking into mu head" I said playfully.

"Tell me what's wrong with you and Bella." He said.

I sighed.

"She accused me that I am sleeping with boys" I said.

He frowned.

"I am sure she was just angry. She was worried about you last night. Especially when you didn't come home at night."

"I am not mad at her. I just horrified she thinks so lowly of me."

"I am sure she didn't mean it. She loves you a lot, you know. I don't have to read her mind to know that

"I know that too, without a vampire telling me that" I replied playfully.

He made a grab for me but I leapt up. I was going to go back to my friends. I waved at him and then his family and went to my friends.

"What was that all about?" Dean asked as soon as I sat down.

"Why do you ask?" I asked.

"Answer him" Andrew said.

"Just asking him some stuffs. Nothing to worry about." I said.

"What sort of stuffs?" Stan asked.

I just shrugged in answer.

"Come on. Answer him" Andrew said again.

"He is dating my sister, all right? Just wanted to talk to him about it" I said testily.

"Ok" Andrew said.

Before they ask me about him again, I got up.

"Bye guys. See you in class." I said and went out of cafe.

I was going in the corridor when someone called my name. I turned around hoping it was not one of my friends. It was even worse. It was Bella.

As soon as she came up to me she hugged me. I was bewildered.

"I am so sorry. I shouldn't have said things like that to me. I am so sorry. I am such a bad sister. You have every right to hate me, but please don't hate me." She rambled.

"Shh. Shh. It is okay. I don't hate you. Now calm down" I said.

She pulled away and said "I am sorry, Lils."

"It is okay sis." I said and hugged her.
