A/N: Wow, it feels like I haven't written for this story in forever. Sorry about that guys. This is like the longest it's taken me to update for this story. School just ended for me on Wednesday so I've been pretty busy with some last minute things. Well now that summer started I'll be able to update late, because of my sports that run through the summer…

I Don't Own Anything!!

They walked in like they were both mad at the world. Charlotte was looking around the house not making eye contact with anyone. Austin, however, had his head up high and his eyebrows pull downward.

Nathan nudged me on to say something, but I didn't know what to say. Luckily he was able to save me. "Austin, Charlotte, welcome home! Um, Bella and I will need to talk to you about something right now. SO, if you don't mind…" he said gesturing towards the living room.

Neither of them said anything, they just went right into the room leaving Nathan and I to follow. They all sat down leaving me to stand and explain everything.

"Um okay, well, it has come to my attention that you both don't really get what I meant when I explained things that happened between Edward and I because I left out one major part of my life," I said all business like.

"And what part is that Bella?" Austin asked sounding annoyed and rushed.

"I then started to explain my 18th birthday to them just like I did when I told Nathan. Charlotte's face went from anger to shocked to understanding. Austin's face didn't really change. He was good at not showing his emotions.

"Why didn't you tell us that before?" Charlotte asked when I finished. "I mean that is a very major part of the story."

I sighed rolling my eyes at them. "I don't know! It was such a painful time I almost blocked it out of my head completely. It was probably the worst time of my life. When I told you guys my heart was breaking and aching I wasn't strong enough to tell you back then why it was. I'm barely strong enough now."

Austin took a really deep sigh and looked at Charlotte. Then turned back to me. "Bella, you know you should have told us a long time ago about your party."

I groaned. "I know I should have, but I couldn't! I never wanted to remember what happened that day. I didn't want to relive it. Besides I never thought we would end up going to the same school as them!"

They looked at each other then turned back to Nathan and I and nodded. To be serious they both looked bored, but Charlotte still showed worry.

"Look guys," I said sitting in the recliner, "no matter what happens with Edward and I, I would never leave you! You guys helped me piece myself back together. I could have never done that without you guys."

Charlotte stood up and walked over to me taking my hand. "Bella, we may have helped you, but we never fully healed you. It's impossible for us," she said motioning to everyone, "to make you feel whole again. Only Edward can do that, and he has been. Austin and I agreed that we have never seen you this happy before."

"That may be," I said not believing it, "but I would never leave you guys for anyone. I mean it."

Charlotte looked at Austin who nodded. "Bella, we know you won't. We were just worried that you may just leave. Also we figured you were leaving something out of the story. It just never made sense why he would leave you when he is clearly in love with you."

I smiled looking down. I wasn't sure why I was smiling. I mean this was a serious conversation. I just couldn't help it when she mentioned him loving me. It had a nice ring to it.

"Bella," Austin said laughing, "why on earth are you smiling like that?"

I looked up to notice that they were all staring at me with the same confused expression. I simply just shrugged, still smiling.

"She is thinking about him," Nathan teased. "You can totally tell man."

If I could, my cheeks would be a deep scarlet right now. I stuck my tongue out at him and ran upstairs. I quickly shut my door and put my back to it. What could I say? I loved him too.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"So," Charlotte said as we walked from our car to the main buildings, "are you excited? Only three days left."

I groan internally. I was nervous as it was already. Did my whole family really feel the need to remind me every minute of every day since it happened? "Um, yes and no."

She gave me a quizzical expression as we stopped just outside of the Trig room. "What do you mean Bella?"

"Yes because I really do like that dress, and I sort of want to go with Edward. No because I'm afraid it won't be what I think it should be for us."

"What do you think it should be?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. Perfect, I guess. You know I've been waiting for this since he left, but I knew it would never happen, but now that it is I'm scared he'll realize he's not in love with me anymore. That maybe he's not attracted to vampires."

Charlotte put her hands on my shoulders and shook them back and forth. "Bella, when will you realize that he will always love you? No matter what you are!"

I gave a weak smile. "Maybe you're right."

At lunch Nathan and I met up before Austin and Charlotte. We quickly got our lunch and sat down in our usual spot next to the Cullens. I was laughing at Nathan's joke until someone came up to our table. A human?

I looked over to see Josh Green standing beside me. "May I help you?" I asked pleasantly.

He smirk locking eyes with me. "So, Bella, are you going to the dance this Saturday evening?"

Ha! Was this kid serious? "Yes I am," I said flashing a smile Edward's direction.

He smoothly slide down beside me. "Well, you're in luck because I am too."

""How is that my luck?" I asked giving him a wicked smile hoping he would get scared and leave. Didn't Edward tell me that humans normally have some sense to stay away from us?

"How would you like to go with the most popular guy in school to the dance?"

I looked over to Nathan who was trying to compose himself. He was starting to make me laugh. "I'm… sorry Josh, but… I already have a… a date," I choked out.

He looked over to Edward who was talking to Alice, or was at least pretending too. "Bella, he'll understand I mean you probably only asked him on a dare or something."

I went completely serious right then and I bet Nathan did too. "Who told you that?"

He gave a teasing smile. "No one baby. But come one. Everyone can tell how distant you are from him."

I shrugged, trying to relax. "One, I'm not your baby. Two, what can I say? We have history."

"How can you two have history? You've only know him for what a month or two?"

Crap, now what do I say? I used to date him before he left town twenty-three years ago before I was changed into a vampire? … Well that would get him off my case. "We used to go to the same school ages ago," I said. Well, it wasn't a complete lie.

He seemed to think about it for awhile. "Then why are you going with him?"

Because I'm still in love with him. "I like him a lot. Sorry Josh, but I cannot go with you to the dance."

He shrugged, trying to act like it didn't bother him. Then he got up and walked away without even looking back at us.

"What the hell made him think that you would go with him if you're going with Edward?" Nathan asked sounding annoyed.

I rolled my eyes. "Who knows? He thinks he can get whoever he wants, and he normally wins. He probably thought my knees would go weak and I would beg him to take me. Even before I was… changed, I was never like that."

"Oh anyone would be able to know that if they just looked at you," he teased. "Maybe now he can get it through his head now though."

Charlotte and Austin came over then and sat down. "What was that about with Josh Green?"

Nathan groaned. I laughed. "He thought that I would dump Edward and go to the dance with him instead."

"You're kidding!" Charlotte exclaimed dropping her tray on the table. "What possessed him to think you would go with him?"

I shrugged. "I don't know why, he just thought so."

Austin looked over to the Cullen's table then turned around and looked over to Josh's table then back to us. "Edward is giving Josh a death stare. Or maybe they are just having a staring match, but it's not pretty."

We all looked over to the Cullen's table then to Josh's and back again. They were having a death match stare. It was sort of creepy. I mean Edward actually started looking like a real vampire. How could Josh still stare at him? I could barely look at him anymore.

After the long lunch of talking about Josh's proposal, I walked to Biology alone worried about what Edward might say about it. He just looked so weird at lunch, I'm afraid of how he may act or say about it. I've never seen Edward jealous before. I wonder what he's going to be like, if he is.

"Hello Bella," Edward's voice came from behind me. "Come with me."

"What?" I asked him as I turned around to face him. Where would we go?

"Come with me. Skip school with me. Bella, you really need to go hunting. Come on, let's go," he said taking me hand.

I tried jerking it away, but he was still much stronger than me. "Edward, I can last till the end of the day to go hunting, you know that. Why do we have to go right now?"

"Bella, I cannot stay in here much longer. Will you please just come with me?"

"Why can't you stay here much longer?"

Edward sighed moving my hand, which he still held, back and forth. "What can I say love? I'm jealous of Josh. I heard everything he said to you and all I wanted to do was, well, kill him. I couldn't stand it at all!"

I tried so hard not to smile, but the edges of my mouth were dancing upward. Edward's eyes were dancing back and forth trying to read mine.

"Well?" he asked impatiently.

I looked into his worried eyes and nodded. For some reason I just sort of fell hard for him then. I've never really had any guy jealous before.

Edward's crooked smile came across his face as he pulled me through the forest. I had no idea where we were going, but as long as he held my hand I really didn't care.

Nathan's POV (crazy huh? I was going to end it here, but it was too short…)

Ugh, this lunch was probably the worst I have ever had. That includes the lunch when I was a freshmen in high school and two jocks knocked me out by hitting me on the head with a tray. (Reason I tried out for basketball. Never hit again!). Though I still can't remember why they did it… Maybe I called them a name or something. Anyways, this lunch just seemed to go one for forever.

"Wow, this lunch seems to keep going and going," Austin said after Bella and Charlotte left to go to class. It's like he was reading my thought.

"Tell me about it man. Did Josh really have to come over here and ruin my lunch? It's the only thing in school I like besides gym and I can't even go all out in gym because I'm a… vampire."

Austin rolled his eyes. For some reason I was the only one who couldn't really say the word. "Dude, who cares? I mean it's only one lunch. We. Will. Survive."

I sighed. "I know, but did you see Edward?"

"What's your point?"

"He was reading Josh's thoughts, genius. Josh is going to keep trying until Bella accepts or Edward Kill him." I paused for a second. "Personally I wouldn't really care if Edward killed him. It would make my life easier here."

"I'm not objecting to it either," Austin said laughing. "Now what's all this caring really about?"

"Bella's having a hard enough time showing Edward how she really feels, and Josh is just going to make it harder for her to say anything because of him."

"Awe you're such a caring big brother," Austin said in a mocking voice. "Seriously, you're not like that to anyone else. Probably not even your own sister."

"Well my real sister would probably drop dead because she's in her thirties and thinks I'm dead, so yea I'm not like that to my own sister. And Bella has been through tougher times than anyone in our family, so I think it's good to be nicer to her than anyone else. I think she deserves it."

After school I got sort of worried that Edward wasn't there. "Yo, Charlie, was Bella in your last period class?"

Charlotte turned around with worried eyes. "No, she wasn't and neither was Edward. Alice told me," she answered my unasked question.

"Well where the hell could they be?" Austin asked banging on the hood of the car.

I shrugged and looked at Charlotte who also shrugged. I ran to the Cullen's car who seemed to be doing the same thing we were doing. Absolutely nothing. We were both wondering where they were, but we couldn't do anything. Alice couldn't even see where they were because Bella blocked everything.

I groaned. "Why does Bella have to block herself when she knows that people are looking for her?"

"She probably doesn't know. You know, she probably doesn't even realize school is over. If I know Edward, which I do, they probably aren't anywhere with a clock. And his phone is probably off," Alice said.

"His phone's off," Emmett said closing his phone.

"Ugh! So is Bella's," said Charlotte closing her phone too.

"Damn. I really want to get out of this place. Maybe we should just run home. I mean no on this in the parking lot anymore," I said looking around at the empty parking lot.

"Maybe you're right. I mean who knows how long it may be until they actually decide to come back here," Jasper said walking over to Alice and putting his hand around her waist.

"This is the last time Edward is driving me," Rosalie mumbled before taking off with the Cullens following her to their house.

When we got home we all went to the living room to watch Mystic Pizza, for Charlotte. She really did love Julia Roberts.

"What do you think they are doing?" Austin asked as the movie started.

"Well for all we know they could be in Pittsburgh by now," I said laying across the loveseat.

"Ohio or Pennsylvania?" Austin asked.

"PA man. Ohio doesn't have an h at the end of theirs. Besides that's where my sister moved."

"Hmm, maybe they went to Niagara Falls," Charlotte said putting her head on Austin's chest.

"What would they be doing there?" Austin asked.

"Man, I wanna watch the movie!" I shouted.

"Because, Austin, it's romantic! It's a beautiful place! Maybe he took her there on purpose so that they can be alone or something," Charlotte said ignoring me completely.

Suddenly the front door swung open and in pranced Bella. And yes, she actually was prancing. She seemed to have a hop in her step.

The weirdest thing was behind her giddy appearance, you could see the sadness and confusion in her eyes. What the hell happened between them?

A/N: I hoped you like it! Sorry it took me so long. Don't worry, you will find out what happened between Edward and Bella in the next chapter. So, what did you think of Nathan's POV? It wasn't much because I just need someone there because I'm not positive about what I'm going to do with Edward and Bella yet. Any suggestions? I'm open to things…
