A/N: Hey everyone! Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate it and for those of you who don't Happy update day. =D I thought I would post a new chapter today as a my gift to everyone. I have to say I was a little disappointed at the response I was getting for my last two chapters. I was getting so many reviews/favorites/story alerts and people reading my story before. It seems that those numbers are dwindling. But as long as you guys like the story and a few people continue to review I will continue to write the story and update. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and I hope you like this chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.

Bella's POV

The short ride back to school seemed even shorter than it really was. My mind was so full of contemplating the news Emmett just dropped on me that it seemed as like the ten minute drive took a minute. A part of me didn't trust Emmett. After all, he did cheat on me. But even when we were going out that was the only thing he had ever lied about. Emmett was an asshole sometimes but he was usually extremely honest. And there was really no point for him to lie about Edward. It's not like I was going to run back to him if I wasn't with Edward. Besides, I just knew Edward was too perfect. I could sense it. No one could like me that much that fast unless there was something wrong with him. Overall, it just seemed plausible that he was telling the truth and I believed him.

The car pulled slowly to a stop and I glanced out to see my truck waiting in the empty parking lot.

"Thanks Emmett, for everything," I said kindly as I got out of the car.

He smiled and handed me my bag. "You're welcome. And I'm sorry for holding your stuff hostage. I just needed to talk to you…about Edward."

I nodded and returned the smile. I still didn't like him, but I could afford to be nice. After all, he warned me about Edward and probably saved me a lot of trouble. Despite his annoying traits, I owed him. I pulled out my keys and slid into my truck.

"Bye Bella," Emmett called over the roar of my engine. I waved to him as a goodbye and then sped down the streets quickly. I need to get home before Charlie did. I couldn't have him asking questions about where I'd just spent my time. I had no desire to tell him about my boy troubles.

When I pulled into the driveway ten minutes later, I immediately noticed that something wasn't right. There was a silver car parked in my driveway. I wasn't car-savvy and I had no idea what kind of car it was, but it looked nice, and expensive. It was sleek and shiny and the model looked new. It was a strange sight considering the fact that most of the cars in forks were no more than average. It was unusual to see something so nice. I hadn't been here long but from what I remembered, Forks had always been that way. I didn't remember any rich family ever living here and I couldn't help but wonder who I would meet waiting for me at the door. Charlie didn't mention any visitors. In fact, the only person who ever came by to see Charlie was Billy or Jake. He didn't get visitors often, especially from people with expensive cars. And I was new so I knew there was no way the visitor was for me.

I turned off the truck and grabbed my things, but I didn't immediately get out of the car. I peered around the tall shrubbery attempting to discover the hiding place of our visitor. I couldn't find him and I suddenly harbored some paranoia that he was sitting in his car, watching me search for him and wondering what I was doing.

I started remembering things my father used to tell me as a child.

"Don't talk to strangers, Bella. Don't go near strange cars, Bella."

My dad was the chief of police so I guess it was his duty to worry. But I was his daughter and it was only natural that I did too. I didn't want to get out of the car because I had no idea who was waiting for me. It could be some crazy person for all I knew. It was pretty suspicious. I mean, why was a car just sitting there if there was obviously nobody home.

I dug through my purse and pulled out the can of pepper spray Charlie gave me last week. I hid it beneath my jacket and clutched it tightly in my hands. Slowly and quietly, I got out of my truck and began walking up toward the front of the house. I glanced for the owner of the car as I went but I still didn't notice anyone. It was stupid to worry. I knew that, but it still didn't stop me.

After a moment, I stepped up to the front door. I hadn't seen my visitor and this worried me even more. I was about to unlock the door and let myself inside when I heard a noise from the side of the house. The bushes rustled and I felt my heart beat racing. I took a step back, pressing my shoulders against the door. I fumbled nervously with my pepper spray, forgetting my cell phone and my ability to run.

I only had to endure a few seconds of fear, however, because suddenly a tall figure emerged from the darkness. I gasped, and my pepper spray crashed to the ground. I looked up with fearful eyes into the face of the stranger and discovered to my surprise that it wasn't a stranger at all.

"E-Edward?" I choked out, still breathing a little deeply.

He smiled, his face lighting up. "Bella?"

So it wasn't a crazy stranger, it was just a crazy person. Edward, the stalker, was indeed stalking me.

"Edward, what are you doing here?" I asked hesitantly, still keeping my distance.

"Looking for you, of course," he said taking a step forward. He noticed my strained expression and paused. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I snapped, "But I think you should leave."

Edward's smile slipped into a frown and his eyes were confused.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Listen Edward, Emmett told me about you. I don't want you to come near me ever again," I warned.

He shook his head as if trying to clear it. "Bella, what are you talking about?"

"Don't try to deny it Edward. Emmett told me about your problem with stalking your girlfriends and so my answer is no. I won't go out with you."

He opened his mouth, surprised.

"What? Bella, Emmett's a liar! I'm not a stalker." He put his hands out in front of him, symbolizing peace and took another step forward.

"Really? Then what are you doing here at my house?"

"I wanted to talk to you. I felt bad about Alice knocking you over earlier," he said sincerely.

"So you were just lurking on the side of my house?" I pried. I was trying to make him admit he was lying.

He grimaced, finally realizing what that must look like.

"No. Bella, listen," He pleaded desperately. "It's not like that at all! I heard noises and I was just looking to make sure no one was there. I wasn't stalking you."

"Yeah, because I wasn't home!"

"Bella—" Edward began, reaching his hand out toward me.

"I don't want to hear it Edward. Just leave."

"But—"

"Now!" I shouted.

Edward sighed and I could see anger hardening his eyes.

"Fine. If that's how it's going to be, then Fine. I hope your happy with Emmett," He growled.

"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I saw you get in his car with him, Bella. I guess you like him after all."

My eyes widened in alarm. He was spying on me then too.

"God, you were watching me at school too!" I yelled.

Edward rolled his eyes. "Dammit! No, that's not what happened. I was just driving and I Saw—"

He looked at the stubborn expression in my eyes and sighed. He turned around, got in his car, and left without another word

A/N: Now I know everyone was surprised that Bella would believe Emmett but I hope I cleared up why in this chapter. But, hey, don't be too disappointed. Bella won't be so gullible forever.

P.S. Next chapter has the confrontation between Emmett and Edward. How do you think Edward will handle things?
