Bella's POV

After hunting, moving felt weird. I could feel the blood sloshing in my stomach, and it wasn't really comfortable. Although, gladly I'm not as clumsy as I was when I was human. When we got back to the house, we all sat down on the couches to get to know each other better. The Cullens were complete fun once you got to know them. I guess they didn't open up to people at school because they didn't wanna get too close, and then have them find out their secret. Alice was the perkiest person I've ever met, and the sister I've always wanted. Jasper was quiet, he didn't talk much, but I guess he was still getting comfortable around me. Rosalie seemed, hesitant about what she said and did around me, but I guess she was just trying her best to accept me as family or something. Emmett, is the brother I never had. He's so cuddly like a bear. He always like to joke around, and make fun of me. Carlisle is the perfect father figure. I'm not saying Charlie wasn't but, I guess it's because Carlisle is immortal, and has been living for 300 years. Esme is completely lovable. The best mother any vampire can ask for. And last but not least, Edward. There aren't enough words in the world to describe him. He is flawless, stunning, beautiful, I'd go on forever if I kept listing. He absolutely perfect. After all the laughs, Esme called Alice and Rosalie into the other room. I looked at the clock, and it said 11:35. Charlie would be sleeping by now. Hm, I miss Charlie and Renee. It sucks that I can't see them anymore as Bella.

Edward interrupted my thoughts, "Bella? Would you like to go see your parents?"

I got excited, "oh, please. That would be great!" I grinned and he smiled at me.

We ran together to my house, and we looked through the window. Charlie and Renee fell asleep on the couches, with the TV still on. I stared at them, and would've cried if vampires could. It was sad that they can't ever see me again. And I was their only child. Edward nudged me, and motioned me to follow him. He took me to the side of the house, climbed up the tree, and went through the window. I followed him, and found myself in my room. Everything was still the same. It was as if I ever left. Renee and Charlie probably don't have the will to clean up my room. I looked around, and sat on my bed. I would have really started crying if I could. I laid down on my bed, and closed my eyes. All my memories of my human life flashed right before my eyes. I had forgotten about Edward, and opened my eyes to see if he was still there. He was sitting at the foot of the bed, watching me. I closed my eyes again and let my mind just float of somewhere. After a while, I opened my eyes, and Edward was still there, reading Wuthering Heights. He turned his attention to me, and I got up, telling him that I was ready to go. Before we left, he asked me, "how are you feeling?" I answered quietly, "sad to have to leave them behind. But alright as long as I've got you and the rest of the family with me." I placed my hand into one of his and smiled up at him. He slowly leaned down, and kissed me softly. His lips lingered on mine for a while, and I didn't have a problem with that. His soft kiss turned passionate with a bit of urgency. I could've stayed like this forever. Then, he pulled away, and I was disappointed. He saw my facial expression and softly laughed, "Let's go home." We jumped out of the window, and ran home, hand in hand.

We walked through the front door holding hands, and Alice was quickly at our sides. She gasped, "I knew it! I knew it was going to happen! Wasn't I right guys?"

Everyone chuckled at her excitement, and we told her to calm down. Edward and I didn't leave each other's sides until he had to go to school. Ugh, now, I disliked school, but only for the next two years. Carlisle told me that I have to lay low until we move into another town, which will be in two years when Edward and Alice graduate. So, I spent my day with Esme. She didn't really do much, except keep every aspect of the house clean. I waited and waited until everyone came home. Edward was the first to walk through the door and I quickly ran into his arms.

He laughed, and then shifted himself uncomfortably. "Bella, love. Are you trying to suffocate me?"

I giggled and loosened my grip on him, "sorry, I just missed you."

"I missed you too," he swept me off my feet and we were in his room. When he placed me on the floor, I giggled and kissed him softly. I looked around his room. It was the first time I've ever seen it, and it was so, plain. But, I guess it's because there's not much to do in your room when you're a vampire. I clicked play on his CD player, and Claire de Lune started playing. I love Debussy. Edward and I have too much in common. It's like fate brought us here together. Okay, I sound a bit cheesy, but it doesn't matter too much. We were together until he had to go to school again. He kissed me softly on the lips when it was time for him to leave. "I love you" I said to him and I really meant it. "I love you too." He said, with a large grin.

The rest of the week went the same, and then the weekend came. That's when Esme, Alice and Rosalie had scheduled my "funeral." Everyone was dressed in black, and we were all laughing together before they left. Jasper decided to stay home to keep me company, and no one objected since he's the one that hasn't completely gotten used to the Cullen diet, and spending an afternoon with mourning humans could be risky.

Jasper and I watched TV for a while. I could tell he didn't know what to do because he was just there, not really paying attention to the TV, but not really paying attention to me either. I turned to him, and he turned his head to look at me. "So. . . " I began, "what do you wanna do?"

He didn't answer a while, probably thinking. He finally spoke, "I have no idea."

I looked at him disappointed that he couldn't find anything to do. "But, you've been a vampire for how many years now? How do you usually pass time?"

"I'm with Alice most of the time." He answered, without much emotion

"Right." I said, still trying to think of something to do, while he turned his attention to the TV. "Fine. Tell me about how you became a vampire and met Alice."

He turned to look at me again, "its quiet a long story though."

"So? We've got a few hours. We need something to do to kill the time anyways."

"Alright" He began. "I lived in Houston, Texas, and at the age of seventeen, I joined the Confederate army. I lied to them and told them I was twenty, which I got away with..."(Not going to retell Jasper's whole story, as most of you should know it already.)

"I arrived at a Diner in Philadelphia where she was waiting for me. She approached me and said, 'you've kept me waiting for a long time.' I ducked my head and apologized to her. She held out her hand and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. For the first time, I felt hope. Alice told me that she'd seen Carlisle and we went off to find them."

I was in awe by the story. Alice made everything so much better for him. I would've cried like it was a sappy romantic movie. I couldn't help but stare at Jasper with love in my eyes.

At that moment, the whole family came back from the funeral. "Bella, why do you look like you wanna put Jasper in a giant bear costume and smother him to death?" Emmett asked.

"Because, he just told me the story of how he met Alice and I think it was absolutely beautiful." Alice and Jasper smiled at each other, and Edward came to sit next to me.

I turned my attention to him, "So, how was the funeral?"

"There was a lot of crying. And, I mean, a lot. Most of it was coming from Renee." He then smiled, thinking of something amusing.

"What?" I asked, curious.

"Well, after the funeral, I went to go comfort Renee, and well once we were finished our conversation, she told me that I would be the perfect son-in-law." He said, grinning at me.

I couldn't help but smile back. My mother always told me to be cautious with boys, because of the fact that they aren't always what you think they are. But for her to say this about Edward, it meant a lot. Although, she doesn't know that because I "died" before she got the chance to see him and I get together.

Edward and I spent every single second together, except for the eight hours that he was at school every five days per week. This cycle would go on for two whole years.
