Sorry for the wait guys

Sorry for the wait guys. I'm not done with breaking dawn and the moment I got the book, my family started making plans to do other stuff. So I'm only a couple chapters into book three right now. Enjoy and review!

Chapter 12. The Calm Before the Storm:

Emmett drove us all back to the Cullen's house, so we could leave from there since our cars were still sitting in the driveway. When I got on my bike, I

drove around to the back and snuck in through the window. Going up to Edward's room, I removed every single pair of his boxers from the drawer and was

about to leave when I heard voices coming down the hallway. Swiftly, I jumped into the closet. The door opened, then closed. I heard footsteps, the sound

of clothes being thrown on the bed, then the footsteps retreated and I was left alone again. I let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding and

slipped across the hall to Alice's room, praying no one would suddenly walk out of the bathroom or something. Once in Alice's room, I scribbled a note

and placed it on her desk before taking some of the underwear from the drawer. I made sure to only take the pairs she hated and wouldn't ever wear, so

Edward wouldn't suspect they were her's. Then, I hid the boxers under Alice's bed, went back to Edward's room and replaced his boxers with granny panties.

Then, I left through the window and drove away.

APOV:

"Hey, can I talk to you Jacob?" I asked, walking up to him as he got out of the water.

"Sure I guess," he said, walking over and standing a little way away from the others. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's Bella and Edward. Am I the only one who thinks that secretly they are in love with each other?"

He looked at me curiously for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Yeah, but they're kind of hating each other at the moment," he said, looking slightly concerned. "What are you getting at?"

I threw my hands into the air in exasperation. "Isn't it obvious? I think we should try to get them together."

"Alice, it really isn't any of our business," he said reluctantly. "I think that's something that they have to learn all by there selves."

I sighed and turned, preparing to walk away. Stopping, I turned around to ask him anyway. What could it hurt? "Will you help me try to get them together?"

"Alice, I already told you,"

"Please? Look, I know it's none of my business and I should probably just leave it alone, but you haven't seen Edward before today. Before Bella came along, he didn't so much as really talk to anyone. He was what you'd call a bad ass, trouble maker and stuff like that. She's changed him, whether anyone's willing to admit it or not," I tried to get him to understand. "Please, just help me?"

He thought for a minute then sighed. "Fine, if it means that much to you," I threw my arms around him in a huge hug.

"Excellent! Okay, here's the plan."

"Absolutely not," Jacob said once I had laid out the details. "I will not help you with that. Anyway, we'd need Lea's consent."

"I've already said I would help her," Lea walked up smugly and slipped an arm around Jacob's waist. "I'll say yes to whatever needs saying yes to."

"I really don't want to medal in what's not my business," Jacob said, glaring at Lea.

"But Jake," I put on the puppy dog face. "This is my poor brother we're talking about here. Will you please help us?"

"No," he said flatly.

I groaned. "Pleeeeeeeease?"

Lea came to my defense then. "Jacob Black, if you don't say yes, no kisses for two whole months, got it?"

I laughed as his eyes widened in horror. "Lea, Baby don't do this."

"Don't you Lea baby me," she said, stepping away.

"Okay! I'll help out in this hair brained scheme you two crazy, deranged women have come up with," he said, finally giving in.

Lea and I hugged excitedly. "Yay! I knew you would see reason," I laughed and threw my arms around Jacob, laughing and dancing in a circle.

"Don't I get a hug?" came Jasper's voice from behind me. I broke away and threw myself into his arms.

"Of course you do. Why wouldn't you?" I asked, laughing as he lifted me off my feet and twirled me.

"Well we have to go now, so say goodbye to your new hug buddy," he teased, putting me down.

I threw my arms around Jacob again. "Bye hug buddy," I said. He grinned uncertainly back and went to say goodbye to Bella.

"I couldn't help but to overhear the conversation that just took place," Jasper said, turning serious. "Alice, are you sure medaling in your brother's business is such a good idea?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Jasper, what could possibly happen?"

"Well first of all, you could push him further away then he already is," he tried to reason with me.

"I know that, but he might thank me in the end. They just look like they would be good for each other."

"Just because they look good together doesn't mean they should end up together," Jasper said, leaning close to me so no one passing us could hear.

"But the way they act and everything points to a cute couple!" I tried to explain. "They're compatible because they think alike."

"That's not always a good thing. Haven't you ever heard the term opposite's attract?"

"Jasper, please just help me?"

"Look, I want them together as much as you do. Edward isn't as depressed, for lack of a better word as he was before she came along. He teases her like he's never done with other girls, but if it's meant to be, it will happen. If it will get you to stop creating chaos, fine I will help you."

Later that night, I walked into my room to see a note on my desk. Curious, I picked it up and began to read.

Alice, I got Edward back for today. Look under your bed. Don't worry, I only took the ugly pairs, so there's no way he'll ever know it was you. Do something with them, but I don't think you should leave them under your bed.

B.S.

What the hell? Walking over to my bed, I got on my knees and looked under the bed. I threw back my head and laughed, hard. Bella was a genius. For a moment, I wondered if it were possible for Bella to be a Cullen. Then, I got down to business. An hour later, every pair of boxers under my bed were a bright pink with hearts on them. I put them all into a plastic bed and waited for Edward's shower to start. Then, I snuck across the hall and put the bag in his closet. Finally, I went to talk to Emmett about what I had told the others about.

EPOV:

I was in dire need of a shower. Bella was going to pay for that little stunt she pulled this morning. Alice had told me that she was going over there tomorrow so I would just go with her. I seriously doubted she would let me come with her, but I was hoping she would. Once I was over there, I would figure something out.

I opened my door and smiled as I slipped inside. Thoughts of pranks that I could pull on Bella were dancing in my head. Yes, she would so pay for that little stunt. I walked over to my dresser to pull out some boxers and go to bed. It was already midnight and if I wanted to go with Alice, I would have to hurry. My eyes widened in horror as I stared, speechless at the things in my drawer. Gingerly, I lifted a pair of the granny panties between my thumb and pointer finger out of the drawer and threw it across the room. My boxers were gone. In their place was underwear that even an old grandma wouldn't wear. I could faintly see a note sticking out from the bottom of the drawer and trying as hard as I could not to touch any of them, I pulled it out to read it.

Dear Eddy,

If you haven't noticed, I would like to let you know that as of now, I have your underwear. I will be returning it shortly, don't worry. I just needed it for something. Don't ask, because I'm sure as hell not telling you what I needed it for. I love you,

Sincerely,

Your secret admirer.

"Alice!" I tore out of my room and across the hall, throwing open her door and sprinting inside. "What the hell did you do to my underwear this time?"

Alice was lying on her bed, eyes closed, asleep. When I came in, she groaned and pulled the blanket up over her head. "What do you want?" she mumbled in a sleepy voice. "I didn't do anything."

For once in my life, I believed her. I didn't feel like dealing with it right then. "Never mind. Sorry Alice you can go back to sleep."

She grumbled something about stupid annoying brothers and rolled back over, closing her eyes. I smiled slightly as I exited the room, yelling for Emmett. He was on the phone in his room, talking to Rosalie about what he would do to her if he was over there right now. I threw open his door in a similar fashion as Alice's and glared down at him. "I need to talk to you," I got out through my teeth.

"I'll call you back Rose," Emmett said into the phone. "Little Eddy here is P M Sing and felt the need to burst through this door and interrupt us." She said something into the phone and he grinned. "I'll remember to do that. Bye."

Flipping it shut, he turned to look at me fully. "So lil bro, what was so important that you had to interrupt my conversation with my lovely girlfriend over?"

I rolled my eyes. "What the hell did you do to my underwear?"

He looked confused. "What do you mean what did I do with your underwear?"

I gritted my teeth in frustration. What had ever possessed me to come down here anyway? "I'll just show you then."

Emmett was rolling on my floor in laughter when he saw my 'underwear'. "Looks like someone has a secret admirer," he teased, getting off my floor.

"Looks like someone's going to have a broken nose if he doesn't stop laughing at his brother," I threatened menacingly.

He shrugged and stood up to leave. "Chill out Edward. It was just a joke," he said as he passed me. "I'll let you borrow some of my boxers if you want."

I shook my head. "Ugh, who knows what yours have inside of them."

He laughed and took off out my door to get some sleep. I sighed and pulled open my closet door to try and find some extras. What I saw made me close the door and take a step back. When I figured out who this 'secret admire' was, I would personally kill them.

To my surprise, it wasn't hard for me to get Alice to let me go to Bella's house with her. "Sure if you want," she said, a slightly mischievious look in her eyes.

"Thanks I guess," I was slightly put off by the fact she was letting me come without protesting.

BPOV:

I was rudely awakened the next morning by a black and white blur bouncing on my bed. "Mmm, go away," I groaned and pulled the covers over my head.

"Time to get up Bella," Alice's familiar voice trilled in my ear.

I sighed in resignation. "Fine, just give me a minute."

She shrugged and left the room. I could hear her footsteps going down the stairs. Without wasting any time, I pulled the blanket up over my head and snuggled down in my bed. Sleep had been impossible last night. I kept having dreams about Brad, trying to tell me something but when he was just about to tell me, I would wake up, sweating. Someone was trying to pull the blanket off me.

"C'mon Princess," came Edward's slightly amused voice. "Time to get up. Alice will get impatient and trust me, you don't want that."

"Go away Your Highness, I don't feel like dealing with you now," I held onto the blanket tighter.

Suddenly, I felt cold air on my feet and realized that Edward had pulled the blanket up from the bottom. I tried holding onto the blanket, but Edward just pulled it away from me. "Now, I said it was time to get up." He had an amused crooked smile on his face and for the first time it seemed to actually touch his eyes. I growled in annoyance.

"You are in soooooo much trouble."

I jumped up from the bed and saw a flash of slight fear in his eyes. Then, he turned and ran out the door and down the stairs. "Your Highness, get your ass back here!" I shouted to no avail. I pulled myself up and took off after him, chasing him through my house. When I got downstairs, I could see him nowhere.

"Alice, where's Edward?"

Alice looked up from her magazine and shrugged. "I don't know Bella, why would I keep tabs on my brother?"

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flicker of movement behind the living room door. Running over to it, I grabbed the handle and slammed it, to reveal Edward standing behind it.

"Aha!" I shouted, then stopped. I had come all the way down here, chasing Edward and hadn't thought of anything to say. Now that I had him, I just stared for several seconds. "Um, you're mean."

Edward's eyes danced with mirth by this point. "I'm mean? I wasn't the one chasing a poor, innocent boy down the stairs and making him go into hiding," he tried to defend himself.

"Oh yes Cullen. You're the perfect little angel aren't you?" I asked, in spite of myself a small smile had formed on my lips.

He nodded seriously. Before he could retort, the phone rang and I took off to answer it. "Hello?"

"Bells, its Charlie. Do you know anything about a Danny Casmere?"

I froze, then gasped in surprise. I had made plans to meet Danny this morning to show him some of my fighting moves. He had asked me to show him yesterday and I was going to go early this morning to set up a place in the park for us to practice. "Yes, I know Danny. He's one of my close friends here. I was supposed to meet him this morning, but I must have overslept. Why?"

"Well you don't have to worry about meeting him at the park. Just drive on to the hospital. Danny tried to kill himself this morning."

EPOV:

I saw Bella's eyes widen in horror and her mouth form an o. Curious, I walked over to her, trying to hear the phone conversation.

"Yes Dad, I'll be right over there. I love you, bye."

She hung up the phone and turned to us, her face white with shock. "It's all my fault. I should have been there, I could have done something." Her voice trailed off.

"Bella, what are you talking about?" Alice stepped forward and put a tentative hand on Bella's shoulder.

"Sit down, both of you. We need to get to the hospital."

"Why, Princess?" I asked, fear starting to build in my gut. What was going on?

She paused for a second, then whipped every emotion from her face. "Danny tried to commit suicide." The words came out in a rush.

I drove like a mad man through the streets of Forks. Alice and Bella sat in the back seat, staring numbly out the window. Alice was holding back tears and Bella kept reassuring her that he was alive.

"Alice, if he was dead, we wouldn't be rushing to the emergency room now would we?" Bella asked as I screeched to a stop in the parking lot and jumped out.

Alice followed Bella out of the car and we walked inside. I felt the familiar thrill of fear go through me as we stepped inside. Ever since I was little, I had been terrified of places like this. My wonderful father was to thank for this fear. I felt nothing but shock as I walked up to the receptionist and asked for the room number.

I felt so confused as we took the elevator up to his room. Why would Danny do something like this? He seemed perfectly fine yesterday. Again the question floated through my head. What was going on? Danny wasn't the type of kid to go off and try to commit suicide. Something wasn't right about this and I was determined to figure out what it was.

"Hello, earth to Edward," Alice's voice broke through my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh hi Alice."

"We're here so get your head out of la la land and talk to your friend."

I stepped into the room and looked down at Danny. He was sitting up, both wrists bandaged with Tanya sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Hey all," he greeted us as we walked into the room. Greetings were exchanged and we all took spots around the room. None of us mentioned the fact that he had attempted suicide, we were all trying not to think about it.

"Tanya, Alice, Bella, I need to talk to Edward alone. Can you please go out into the hallway?" Danny asked after about fifteen minutes of easy chatter. Alice and Tanya left the room, but before Bella left, a strange look passed over her face and she turned back.

"Hey Danny, can I have a look at your right hand please?" she asked.

"Uh, sure I guess," he said and turned so she could see it. I didn't see what was so special about it though. It had a bandage wrapped around it with red showing slightly around the middle where it had bled through.

Bella turned then and exited the room to give us some privacy. "What's up Danny?" I asked, not quite sure what he could want to talk to me about. I had a pretty good idea though.

He opened his mouth, paused for a second, then closed it again. "It's hard for me to say," he admitted. "I'll just start at the beginning. I was supposed to meet Bella this morning so she could show me some of her fighting techniques because I was curious how she fought. Well I guess she was running a little late,"

"Danny, where are you going with this?" I asked, frustrated that he wouldn't come right out and say it.

"I didn't try to kill myself. Someone tried to kill me."

BPOV:

"Tanya, Alice, Bella, I need to talk to Edward alone. Can you please go out into the hallway?" Danny asked after we had been talking for several minutes.

The others willingly went, but I froze in the doorway and turned back. I just had to know if my suspicions were correct. "Hey Danny, can I have a look at your right hand please?" I asked, walking back over to the bed.

"Uh, sure I guess," he said no doubt wondering what the hell I could possibly be ranting about now. He stretched out his hand and sure enough. There was a bandage wrapped around it with a spot of red in the middle where it had bled through. I turned then and exited the room.

Danny was released the next day in time to go back to school. Edward had stayed silent on the ride back to my house and neither Alice nor I pressed him. I was also silent, thinking over this newest development. If I had only been there, none of this would have happened. If I had just gotten there thirty minutes earlier, Danny wouldn't be like this. I thought back to the information I had gained about Brad's death and compared. Was it just a coincidence that Danny had a bandage wrapped around his hand or something more? I wasn't one to believe too strongly in coincidences and there was something about this whole thing that didn't ad up in my mind. First of all, there was Brad, a very careful driver who just swerved off the road into a tree for no apparent reason. There hadn't been rain that day so a slick highway wasn't an excuse. Then there was Danny, even during Brad's death he had, like Alice tried to keep some form of normal around us all. He was the last person I had expected to try to commit suicide.

There was something strange going on in Forks. I had the strangest suspicion that the death of Brad and Danny's attempt were connected somehow. And if they were, who was behind it all? Were these just random killings, or was there some sort of pattern here? A chill ran through me as I realized that if I had been earlier than Danny it could have been me lying in a hospital bed with scars up and down my wrists.

These thoughts continued running through my head over the course of the next week or so. Maybe I was overreacting. After all, teenagers weren't all they appeared, so what if Danny had just attempted suicide? What if this all was just a coincidence?

I shoved my books into my locker and slammed the door. The gym teacher had recommended me for cross country so I had started running after school and was already late. Alice had given me a ride to school this morning, so I would have to catch a ride with someone on the team.

After practice, Coach Clap had asked to speak to me privately and by the time I got to the front parking lot, it was empty.

"Damn it," I cursed under my breath as I pulled out my cell phone and called up Alice.

"Alice, I need a ride home," I said and explained the situation to her.

"Oh Bella, I'm so sorry. I'll send someone out to pick you up okay?" Alice said. "They'll be there in five minutes.""

T

Hanks Alice, Bye."

EPOV:

"No Alice, she hates me. Why would she want a ride from me?" I asked my sister in agitation.

"Edward, just give her the damn ride all right?" Alice was annoyed that Bella and I weren't getting along, though I didn't know why.

"If I give her the ride, will you stop bothering me?" I asked, finally giving in.

"Yep."

So this was how I ended up driving to Forks High at seven in the evening. Bella was sitting out front, looking anxious until she saw me. At first, her face was relieved, then it turned sour as she reluctantly slid into the front seat.

"Hello Princess, having bike trouble?" I couldn't help teasing her. It was just too much fun.

"No your highness, I got a ride from your sister," she bit back, turning angrily away from me to stare out the window.

We were silent for a long moment, neither of us willing to talk to the other. "Cullen, slow down," Bella finally broke the silence. "You're going to get us killed."

"Don't be stupid Swan," I replied. "I'll have the princess home and in one piece before you know it."

She glared harshly at me. "Stop calling me that!" she shouted in a fury. "And I really don't want to die today if you don't mind so slow down!"

I sighed and rolled my eyes. If it would get her to just stop talking, I would slow the damn car down. Tapping my breaks slightly, I realized with horror that the car wasn't slowing. I kept my cool as I tried again to stop the car. "Damn it!" I was scared and angry now.

"What's the problem?" Bella asked, eyes huge.

I didn't have time to answer her. A curve in the road was coming up fast. I tried turning the steering wheel, but it was locked for some reason. Faintly, I heard Bella scream as the car bounced off the road and slammed into the telephone pole. The windshield exploded outward and I was suddenly aware of pain on my left side. Not just my ribs, but my arm and leg as well. My head hit the steering wheel and I let out a groan of pain as I tried to hold onto my consciousness. It was getting hard to breath and the pain in my side was growing by the second. I thought of Bella and faintly wondered if she was okay, then everything went black.

Ahaha someone said last chapter that when I said something about cold hands they thought there was a vampire there. No, there weren't any vampires in that part of the story. Do I have everyone confused? Review me with your thoughts and you get a doughnut!
