E POV

The plane finally landed and Bella and I were making our way towards the Volvo. She seemed happy to be back in Washington. I opened her door and I went back to the drivers seat and started the engine.

"Bella, you should sleep you look exhausted."

"No it's fine, Edward." We sat in companionable silence, listening to Claire De Lune.

"I love this composition." Bella sighed.

I smiled, I wrote her a lullaby I might have to show it to her someday.

"So, are you going back to school on Monday?" I asked. She frowned.

"I might have to, I wonder how much trouble I'm going to get with Charlie." She mused.

"I'm sure he won't be mad at all." She gave me a skeptical look and I shrugged it off.

She fell asleep sometime after our chat, I decided I would have Carlisle check her wrist and ankle, they looked kind of messed up. We finally arrived at Forks and I made my way towards my house, nobody knew I had found Bella.

I woke Bella up and I told her if she wanted my father to check her injuries, she said she was fine but I told her it was either him or the hospital so she agreed.

I told Bella to stay downstairs, while I go get Carlisle. I went up the stairs and knocked on Carlisle's study room door.

"Come in." I opened the door and walked in.

"Edward, you're back, did you find her?" He went and hugged me.

"Yeah I did, I was wondering if you could check to see if she has any injuries, you know what happened right?"He nodded and we made our way downstairs.

B POV

I heard footsteps descending down the stairs and I looked up to see Edward walking down with a his father? It couldn't be he was so young looking and looked like a movie star instead of a doctor. He was just as gorgeous as Edward. He had honey blond hair and emerald green eyes just like Edward, now I know where Edward got his looks.

"So, Bella. How are you I'm Carlisle."

"Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you Dr. Cullen."

"Bella, please call me Carlisle." I blushed, he started examining all my injuries and bruises. I winced when he touched my ribs and my arms and legs. He seemed deep in thought.

"Bella, we're going to have to take you to the hospital I need x-rays of your ribs, legs, and arms. " I sighed, might as well get it all over with.

Edward carried me to the Volvo and placed me in my seat. I argued with him the whole time he carried me I was perfectly capable of walking by myself. It felt nice to be in Edward's arm though.

We got to the hospital and I was admitted in and taken to go get x-rays.

When we were finished with the x-rays, I only had to have brace for my foot while my ankle heals, and my wrists weren't that bad and would heal just like ribs would.

We left the hospital and made our way towards Charlie's I was nervous, I wasn't sure what I was expecting. When we pulled up in front of my house Alice's Porsche, Emmett's Jeep, Rosalie's M3, and Jasper's Mercedes were all parked.

Edward walked with me on my pace and I opened the door.

Everybody was sleeping on my living room floor, Charlie was sitting on the couch looking at nothing.

He looked up to see who opened the door and he looked like he went in shock. He walked over to where I was on gave me hug. Charlie and I were never ones to show our true emotions but we honestly didn't care at the moment.

"Bells, I've missed you." He told me. I was beaming with happiness, he missed me.

"I've missed you too Dad."

We went and sat on the kitchen table quietly, he was telling me about Jake getting arrested and how he's going to go to prison. Edward was there with me the whole time like I was going to leave out of no where.

Alice was the first to stir, she looked up and saw that Charlie wasn't on the couch.

"Charlie?" Alice's voice rang throughout the whole house, but it didn't wake Em, Jazz, or Rose.

"In here Alice." Alice walked inside the kitchen and a smile was creeping on her face when she saw Edward and me.

"BELLA!" Alice yelled. Which caused everybody else to wake up.

"YOU'RE BACK. OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" She was jumping up and down. Rose walked in and she was in complete shock and the tears starting pouring down her face. Emmett walked in and he was exactly like Alice jumping up and down. Jasper went inside the kitchen and he was smiling so wide.

They all came and attacked me, my ribs were screeching in pain but I just decided to take the pain. I was glad to be bad. They all missed me.

Sometime after that, I told them I was sorry for leaving and I thanked Edward for bringing me back he flashed me his brilliant lop sided smile. They all told me they completely understood and Jake is going to get what he deserves.

I was going to start my life over again, no more mistakes, no more looking back on the past. I was going to keep my head up high and look only in front of me and never looking back.

Everybody started leaving slowly promising to be back tomorrow. Charlie kept on telling Edward how grateful he was for bringing me back and that he could come over whenever he'd like.

Charlie decided to call it a night and Edward and I were sitting on the couch eating some lasagna I made.

"Bella, this is delicious." He told me, I blushed at his compliment.

"Thanks, it was my Grandma Marie's special recipe."

We talked about nothing and everything at the same time just getting to know each other.

We both had so much in common, we both liked classical music, we had the same taste in music, and hobbies.

He decided to call it a night at 11 and I walked him out to the porch.

"Bella, it's great to have you back." He kissed my cheek and walked away. I blushed furiously and he walked inside his Volvo and waved.

I went back inside the house and went upstairs and went to bed. My life was finally making a turn for the better.

The next day I woke up and Charlie was downstairs he had a serious expression on his face.

"Hey dad."

"Hey." He sounded distant but I shrugged it off.

"Bells, can you take this with you at all times please." He handed me a pepper spray can. I gave him a confused look.

"I just want you to carry it with you." He shrugged. I went inside the kitchen and made myself some cereal. The rest of the day was a blur, as promised Em, Rose, Jazz, Alice, and Edward came by and we hung out. Edward and I had dinner again like last night and we talked for hours to no stop.

It was finally getting late and I knew Edward had to go, but I didn't want him to leave.

Edward left at midnight that day and I decided to call it a night.

I was walking back from a morning jog I decided to take, I left Charlie a note telling him I was take a jog and I was making my way back home when a mysterious car kept on following me. I ignored it and then the car halted to a stop and a person in all black and a mask placed on put a blindfold on my eyes and put a something in my mouth to make sure I didn't scream and I was taken away. I heard cackling in the background and the voices I heard were all to familiar.

I jolted up from my bed and I was breathing heavily. That was an awful dream. It was a dream though, this was real life and this was Forks. Stuff like this didn't happen in Forks.

I decided to get ready for school earlier, it was 5 A.M. I took a hot steaming shower, it relaxed all my tense muscles, I washed my hair with my favorite strawberry shampoo. I got out of the shower and put on my long sleeve shirt and my light wash American Eagle boyfriend jeans, since it was the only kind of jeans that my foot brace could fit in.

I walked down the stairs quietly and ate some cereal. I was bored and there was nothing to do, I switched on the T.V. and nothing interesting was on. It was six and Charlie was up already getting ready to go. He left and it was 6:30 I decided to text Edward to see if he was ready. My truck wasn't working well anymore and my mechanic happens to be in prison.

To: Edward

Frm: Bella

Hey, I was wondering if you could give me a ride to school my truck isn't exactly working and I can't drive with a foot brace on.

-B

I got a reply back instantly.

To: Bella

Frm: Edward

Hey gorgeous, yeah I'll be there at 7.

See you soon.

-E

I blushed when I saw what he wrote. I was plain, there was nothing special about me. Edward and I had a special kind of friendship, we were always laughing all the time, I could confide with him in absoulutely anything, I was never able to have that kind of connection with Jazz or Em. This was something else, it had to be, it was like Edward and I had some kind of magnectical pull towards each other.

Then something dawned on me, something that I thought I had with Jake.

I was falling in love with Edward Cullen.

AN: So, what did you think?

By the way I have both 'Maid of Honor' and 'The Wedding Dare' up! I will be working around for a schedule to update all four of my stories, I seriously need one I will post it up once I got it settled.
