A.N. Thank you so much to everyone who read and reviewed! Your all so awesome!

If thy owns nothing, thou can't sue.

I yawned once more. "I love you too." I then drifted off into a sweet, dreamless sleep.

"I can't find Bella! She wasn't in any of her classes and I spent the whole lunch period searching for her- oh my god I'm going to die then Carlisle is going to kill me!" Alice ranted as she walked up to where I stood beside her Porsche.

I put my hands lightly on the tops of her shoulders. She stopped talking and looked up at me, desperation in her beautiful, crystal blue eyes.

"She's safe at home." I told her quietly and she visibly relaxed.

"Wait," She tensed back up. "Why?"

I opened the driver's door for her. "Get in, I'll explain on the way home."

She obeyed, still slightly tense. I walked around to the passenger side and got in. She took my hand.

"Please tell me she's at home in one piece." Alice practically begged.

I nodded and began. "Mike-" The enraged expression on Alice's face brought me up short.

"I swear I'm going to kill that little bastard." Alice fumed, her voice deadly, as she got out of the car.

My eyes went wide as I realized she was stalking off to where Mike was leaning against his car, surrounded by his so called 'friends'. I jumped out and was jogging after her. I came to an abrupt halt when she confronted him and let her fist pull back then snap forward in one fluid motion. Mike's head snapped back and hit the window of his car, breaking it, as he held his nose. Everyone burst out laughing and I let a small chuckle escape.

"Now, if you ever touch Bella again, I will personally push you off a cliff and laugh as you plunged to your death where you will rot in hell, Newton." Alice whispered menacingly to him.

Mike had a look of true fear in his eyes and it only intensified as I wrapped my arms around Alice's waist. "Touch either of my girls and I'll help her kill you." I threatened, one-hundred percent deadly.

Mike backed off, eyes wide, and still clutching his surely broken nose.

Alice grinned evilly and triumphantly at him before turning and kissing me. It lasted a bit longer and was more intense then a public kiss should be but I didn't care. Alice pulled back and was suddenly lifted into a bear hug by the big bear himself- Emmett.

"That was awesome, Ali! You do not even know how long I've waited to see that happen!" Emmett gushed with pride.

Alice laughed. "You and me both, Emmybear."

He finally let her down and Rosalie walked up. "Hey, Alice... I'm sorry about the other day," Alice was about to cut her off but she held up a hand to stop her. "And I was wondering if you could take me over to Carlisle's so I can apologize to Bella."

Alice smiled at this and immediately hugged Rosalie. "I forgive you!"

Rosalie sighed sadly. "Let's just hope Bella does."

"Can I come?" Emmett got those puppy dog eyes on and jutted out his bottom lip.

I became cautious. "I'm not sure, Em... we don't want to overwhelm her."

He pulled the full force of his eyes on me. "Pweese?"

I sighed and punched his shoulder. "Fine, Emmett, you can come."

He jumped up and down with his hands in the air. "Yes!" He grinned triumphantly.

We all laughed at him as we moved to Alice's Porsche. We all got in and made our way home.

"Ok, maybe Alice and I should go in first and tell Bella and Carlisle that you two are coming as well so we don't put this all on her at once." I suggested and they all nodded in agreement. "And, Emmett?" He turned to look at me. "No bear hugs." I ordered sternly.

He pouted but muttered a fine.

Alice's expression brightened even further then it already was. "I know what me, Bella, and you, Rose can do!" she squealed and the car swerved slightly.

"Watch it, Alice!" I exclaimed in shock as my hand shot out to straighten us up before a huge eighteen wheeler passed us.

"Sorry, Jazzy," she said apologetically.

"What did you think of, Alice? Before you almost killed us all?" Rosalie chastised gently.

Alice rolled her eyes. "Well, I thought us three could go shopping!"

Rosalie squealed and Emmett and I rolled our eyes. "That's a fantastic idea! I just hope Bella will forgive me..." Emmett put an arm around her.

"I'm sure she will." Alice gave her a reassuring smile.

We got to Carlisle's house and Alice and I got from her car. We told Emmett and Rose to stay and went inside.

"Carlisle! Bella!" Alice called out and was hushed before we saw Carlisle come around the corner.

"Sh, Alice! Bella's asleep!" Just as he said this there was a small "Carlisle?" coming from the living room.

We turned the corner to see a bleary eyed Bella, sitting herself up from where she'd been laying on the couch and wiping sleep from her eyes.

BPOV

I was woken from my sleep by someone calling my name in a rather loud voice. Carlisle hushed whomever it was. I started sitting up.

"Carlisle?" I grumbled out.

I looked up, my eyes slightly bleary, to see Carlisle, Alice, and Jasper standing in the hallway, looking at me. I smiled at them as I wiped sleep from my eyes.

"Hey, guys," I spoke, sleep still layering my voice.

"Hi, Bella!" Alice said, coming over and giving me a large hug.

Jasper grinned and waved at me. Behind Alice's back, I waved timidly back at him.

"Oh, Bella! Emmett and Rosalie are here." Alice informed me.

I instantly became nervous and uneasy. Rosalie was the one that had talked so hatefully to me the other day and Emmett was the huge, muscular one that looked like he could crush me with one hand.

"Rosalie came to apologize and Emmett came... because he has amazing persuasion skills." Jasper spoke up with a chuckle. "Are you ok with them being here?"

I nodded, unsure, but I wasn't about to tell them no. Jasper went back outside and Carlisle came to stand by me. He put an arm around waist and leaned down so his mouth was by my ear.

"I know what your thinking... Emmett might be huge but he could never hurt a fly." Carlisle whispered reassuringly.

"And Rose didn't mean what she said, she can be bitchy every now and then." Alice piped up.

"I heard that!"

My head snapped up to see Rosalie and Emmett trailing in behind Jasper. Rosalie was smiling so I didn't think she was mad at Alice. I started feeling kind of nervous. I fidgeted and Carlisle rubbed reassuring circles in my back.

Rosalie walked up to me, unsure and looking really apologetic. "Bella? I'm... I'm really sorry about what I said." she eventually got out.

That shocked me, I stood there, my eyes wide.

"Will you forgive me? Please?"

I couldn't believe she was begging. "Of course, Rosalie,"

She looked immensely relieved and hesitantly pulled me into a hug. "Thank you, Bella... and please, call me Rose."

I hugged her back and Alice squealed. "Yay! Now we can go shopping!"

I looked at her, confused. "Shopping?"

She rolled her eyes. "Of course, shopping! You can't just use clothes that aren't your style and hardly fit you!"

I had a feeling this wasn't going to roll over well. "I'm not much of a shopping person... plus I have no money, Alice."

She scoffed. "I'm going to pay for everything of course."

"Which, in translation, means her loving uncle Carlisle is going to pay for everything." Carlisle sighed and shook his head.

Alice grinned sheepishly at him.

I immediately shook my head. "No, I can't have you guys doing that for me."

"No, there is going to be no excuses, you are coming." Alice said sternly and I sighed in defeat.

"How about I come along?" Carlisle offered and that immediately brightened the idea of shopping.

"Please, Alice?" I begged, looking at her with wide, hopeful eyes.

She sighed. "Fine, only because your a cool uncle."

Carlisle chuckled. "Thank you, that's a high praise."

I sighed in relief and laughed at Alice's praise.

We spent the next two hours getting ready. It was absolutely absurd how much time it took those two to get themselves and me ready for just a shopping trip. They went through outfit after outfit, trying to choose the right one- then hair and makeup.

"Alice, this is too much!" I protested.

She simply ignored me and continued applying makeup.

I huffed angrily and tried to go to my happy place. A few more minutes of this and Carlisle finally came to my rescue.

"Alright, Alice. I think Bella's gone through enough torture." Carlisle said and Alice backed away from my face.

"Done!" she sang and I turned to look in the mirror.

Rose had down my hair so it was a lightly curled ponytail and my make up was very light with smokey eyes that outlined them and made them stick out. They had put me in a blue blouse with sleeves that flared out and hung loosely from my arm with dark blue skinny jeans- accompanied by light blue, low top converse. I looked pretty good.

"Wow," I said, my mouth agape.

Carlisle wound his arms around my waist. "You look amazing, Bella." he murmured, kissing my neck.

I turned to him and put my arms around his waist. "Thank you," I nuzzled the crook of his neck.

He pulled up my chin so I looked at him. He gently pressed his lips to mine and my mind went blank. I kissed him back with all my might as I weaved my fingers into his hair.

Alice cleared her throat and I pulled away to glare at her. I then saw a beat red Rosalie standing next to her, politely looking away, and I turned ten different shades of pink. Rose looked back at me and smiled sheepishly.

"Way to go, Carlisle!"

I jumped when I heard Emmett's booming voice from the doorway and I turned tomato red. Carlisle wrapped his arm around my waist and turned to him, laughing.

"Thank you, Emmett," he said sarcastically. "Always the supportive one." he muttered, rolling his eyes.

I laughed at how much like a teenager he sounded. I finally looked at what he was wearing on our mall trip. He wore ripped, dark blue jeans and a halfway buttoned up, pitch black shirt with a white, wife beater underneath it. He even looked very much like a teenager- even his face hardly showed any age at all. No wrinkles contorted his heavenly face.

I got on my tip-toes. "What are you, eighteen?" I whispered playfully in his ear as I put a hand discreetly on his firm, buff chest.

He turned to me and gave me a chaste kiss. "How flattering." he murmured and kissed my noes.

I giggled and pushed on his chest.

"Alright, enough of this love fest, let's get a move on!" Emmett boomed and I glared at him, feeling more sure of myself then I ever have.

Emmett's eyes widened and a grin spread across his face.

I scoffed. "Not even phased." I muttered, loud enough for him to hear.

He chuckled. "You look about like a lost puppy who'd had his tale tugged on one too many times." Emmett admitted with a snicker.

Childishly, I stuck out my tongue at him.

Alice was eventually able to pull me from the house- after many protests and complaints from me. Let's just say I was not looking forward to this shopping trip. Alice yanked me from the back seat of the car thus making me yank Carlisle right along behind me.

"Alice, enough roughhousing!" Carlisle chastised as we ran to keep up with Alice's steady, unwavering, too fast pace.

She turned to roll her eyes at Carlisle but slowed down a bit- Rosalie as well who was easily keeping up with her, dragging poor Emmett along behind her. I looked down, trying to catch my breath, to see both Rose and Alice in heels.

My mouth went agape. "Your in heels!" I exclaimed in shock. How in god's name could they possibly run in heels? If I was ever insane enough to attempt that, I would end up in the emergency room for sure- as well as some innocent bystander.

Rose and Alice simply shrugged, brushing it off as nothing.

I scoffed at them in disbelief as we began to walk at a more reasonable pace into the mall. I held tightly onto Carlisle's hand, feeling a bit frightened out in public. He rubbed small, soothing circles into the back of my hand and I attempted to relax- it didn't work. I pressed closer to Carlisle as we walked through crowd after crowd of people.

"It's ok," he murmured soothingly to me. "I'm here.

We turned a corner and my breath caught in my throat, my heart stopped beating, and I swear every pain in my body intensified times a million.

(A.N.) OOOOH! What could it be? You will have to review, wait, and see! XD He he, I'm so evil... }:)
