Chapter 13: Because of You

[Because of You; original song by Ne-Yo]

Tanya pulled up in front of the Cullen's house and got of her car. She checked her outfit, she was wearing a mini denim skirt and a tight pink top with pink heels. She grabbed her pink handbag and after she checked her appearance in the side mirror of her car, she walked up to the front door and rang the bell. Alice opened the door and smiled at her. She stood back and let Tanya walk inside. They walked into the living room where Emmett and Gabby were playing Sims and Jasper, Jacob and Reneesme were watching. Emmett and Gabby seemed extremely amused by the game. Rosalie walked into the living room and said hi to Tanya before sitting down on the couch next to Emmett.

"Hey guys," Tanya said. Everyone looked up and said hi except for Gabby. Reneesme and Jacob said hi but reluctantly. "So where is everybody?" Everyone looked at her like she had finally lost it.

"Our dad's at work and our mum is in the garden," Emmett said not looking away from the game. "Oh and Edward has gone to Seattle for the day." Tanya was annoyed, all that effort in this outfit and he wasn't even here.

"He went with Bella," Gabby added on purpose and looked at her for a second before turning back to the game. Alice noticed Gabby do this and wondered what the hell was going on.

"Bella went with him, why?" Tanya asked trying to sound nonchalant.

"Because no one else wanted to go," Jasper explained. "Well Emmett did, but seeing as he is the reason he had to go, it's obvious why he didn't take him."

"Emmett broke Edward's piano," Alice explained to Tanya. "So Edward's gone to get a new one from Seattle." Tanya nodded her head. "So what brings you here? Just come to hang out?" Tanya nodded her head again.

---

"So how do you choose?" Bella asked Edward as she looked around the shop at all the pianos that were there. It was half past two and they had only just arrived in Seattle half an hour ago.

"We'll just look around and see which one we like," Edward replied.

"What do you mean 'we'?" Bella asked confused. "I don't know anything about pianos."

"Doesn't matter I still want your opinion," Edward said smiling. He started walking around the store with Bella and explained all the different types of pianos there were. He told her how he wanted a horizontal piano and not a vertical one and he also explained the differences between the two. They looked around for a quite awhile before they came across black Weber WG150 Baby Grand piano, which was the one Edward had in his room. Bella was very pleased that she recognised it straight away, which made Edward chuckle. Edward told her he needed a Parlor Grand Piano for downstairs, the only difference was that it was bigger than a Baby Grand. Bella looked around until she found a black one that looked perfect (If you copy and paste . into the address bar then an image of the piano should come up). She called Edward over and showed it to him. He agreed that it was perfect and went to buy it as Bella sat down on the stool in front of the piano. Edward came back once he had paid and given them his address so that they could deliver it. He played on the piano a little at Bella's request and then they left the store. Since it was now nearly four they decided to go have lunch.

"I told you I could beat you," Gabby said to Emmett, who was sulking yet again. He had just lost the second game of Tekken 5. Rosalie laughed and comforted Emmett.

"Hey kids, could one of you call Edward or Bella to see if they've left yet?" Esme asked from the kitchen.

"I'll call right now," Gabby said back to Esme.

"Thank you Gabby," Esme said. Gabby took out her phone and dialled Bella's number and also put it on speaker so that the rest could talk to them as well. Ring Ring

"Hey Gabby," Bella's voice said and they heard Edward say hi to Gabby as well.

"Hey guys," Gabby said and everyone else yelled hi into the phone as well. Tanya was glaring; she had been in a bad mood all day. "Esme wants to know if you guys have left yet, since it's like six."

"No, not yet," Bella replied and they heard Edward say something. "Hang on." They could hear a muffled conversation and Tanya just got more and more annoyed. "We're having dinner, so we'll leave about sevenish and should be home for eleven."

"Ok, I'll let Esme know," Gabby said. "See you later, bye love you and tell Edward I said love you Eddie." Bella laughed but repeated her words to Edward.

"He said he loves you too and that is why he will let you get away with calling him Eddie," Bella told Gabby. "Right got to go, bye everyone, love you all mwah." Gabby hung up the phone as Esme walked into the living room.

"What did they say?" She asked Gabby.

"They're having dinner right now, so they'll leave at around seven and be back by eleven," Gabby explained.

"Well that's alright then," Esme said happily. Gabby looked at her, that was weird, why was Esme so happy. "So who's hungry?"

With me.
I think you can.
I think you can.

Turn up prepared and make sure you can keep up with me.
With Me.
I think you can.
I think you can.

"You made me sing on the way there," Bella said. "Why do I have to sing on the way back as well?"

"Because you have a beautiful voice," Edward explained and Bella blushed. "I like hearing you sing, please?" Bella just couldn't say no to him.

"Fine, but don't you dare tell anyone else I sang on the way there or back," Bella demanded.

"I won't tell a soul," Edward said crossing his fingers over his heart.

I tend to get what I want so are you starting to see?
I think you do.
I think you do.
It's time for you to step up if you wanna be with me.
With me.
I think you do.
I think you do.

But don't go slow.
That is not the way we play.
Slowly aint my kind of game.

You know you gotta work!
Work!
I got the goods and I want you.

Work!
You know you gotta work!

Edward smiled at Bella as she sang along to the songs on her iPod, they had made a deal. They would listen to her iPod instead of his if she sang along to all the songs.

Bella's iPod was on shuffle and she had a lot of songs on it, recent ones, and old ones. Bella listened to a variety of songs, if she heard it and liked then she'd get it. Of course she had all of Justin Timberlake's songs but that was a different story.

1, 2, 3, 4
Everything he does, better than anything ordinary
Everything he wants he gets, cause everything he does is kinda necessary
I believe in love, tell me can anything last forever
Life can live up to love. Got a hand on my heart gonna stay in heavenBella sang along as she looked at the signs outside realising that they were nearly home. With the way Edward drove they would be at the Cullen's house in the next couple of minutes.

Youre gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, nothing that I do
Promise I made, promise I made, started to fade, started to fade, FADE
Youre gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, that I cannot do
Promise I made, promise I made, started to fade, started to fade.

Maybe next time I will take the ride on by,
I wanna feel you near
Cause I cant play this like Im into now,
my aladdin's lamp is down, and I gotta fear,
oh baby right here
Giving up You've looking into windows,
yeah Ive had enough of wishing Ive found you,
baby dont you know
Ive had as much I can take of falling, yeah
Got a lot to learn about riding through

Bella noticed the streets they were on and realised that she had been right they were nearly home. She had so much fun today she didn't want it to end. Why did Edward have to drive so fast?

Edward noticed that they would be home in the next minute or two; he didn't know what he could do to prolong it. He couldn't drive slower; Bella would know something was up. He just didn't want the day to end; he had had so much fun with Bella today, just the two of them.

Edward turned onto their street just as Britney Spears' song Crazy came on. Bella grabbed her iPod and switched it off. She grabbed her bag that was by her feet and put it in her lap as Edward pulled up into the driveway. She stayed sitting in the car as she had learnt by now. Edward quickly came around to her side and opened the door for her and gave her his hand, which she took before getting out of the car. They walked to the front door and Edward unlocked it before they walked inside.

"Hello dears, did you have fun?" Esme asked as they walked into the living room where everyone was sat. Even Carlisle was back from work.

"Yeah, it was great," Edward said smiling. "And Emmett is not allowed anywhere near the piano when it gets here." Emmett opened his mouth to argue.

"Emmet, you can't blame him," Bella said cutting him off. "You did stand on his piano to reach something and then you proceeded to jump up and down on it."

"Exactly, which piano did you get?" Esme asked.

"A black Parlor Grand," Edward said in reply. "Bella picked it out."

"I only suggested it, you agreed," Bella said.

"Ok, then it was a joint decision," Edward said.

"You make it sound like we were naming a baby or buying a house together," Bella said and then blushed when she realised what she had said.

"The pianos are Edward's babies like his car," Jasper said. "So I guess this piano is both of yours baby."

"I guess," Bella said and went to sit down next to Gabby. She noticed Tanya sitting on an armchair quietly. "Oh hey Tanya, I didn't see there." Edward came and took a seat next to Bella and said hi to Tanya as well.

"Hey Edward, Bella," Tanya said smiling as best she could.

"So what what did you guys do?" Gabby asked. "I want to know everything."

"Ok, we drove to Seattle, then we spent about an hour and half looking at pianos before deciding on one," Bella explained listing things off. "Then we had lunch before we went around a few shops."

"Then we went to a Sykart indoor racing thing, that was fun," Edward carried on for Bella. "Then we went to a beach till we felt hungry again. We went to dinner in this nice restaurant that was nearby and you guys called us. After dinner we got back into the car and drove home."

"Oh do you remember that guy – on the road –," Bella said and started laughing along with Edward.

"Oh yeah –," Edward managed to say and everyone looked at them amused.

"Is this one of those, 'you had be there moments'?" Gabby asked. Bella and Edward nodded, finally calming down.

"Well, we're glad you two had fun," Carlisle said. "And that you got your piano. It's getting late; you should all head off to bed now." Tanya said bye to everyone and headed to her car disgruntled that Edward hadn't even noticed her outfit. Bella and Gabby said bye to everyone as Rose and Jasper went next door to their own house. Edward watched Bella and Gabby walk to their house and waited till they got inside. He turned around and found Jacob asleep on the couch; Reneesme was trying to wake him up so that he could go sleep in one of the guest rooms. Emmett smacked him and he woke up with a start. He mumbled furiously under his breath while making his way upstairs.

***

Bella was in History class with Jasper and Tia sat on the desks either side of her. Their teacher had just told them about a history trip to the museum in Seattle that they were going on. The trip was on the second week of December and they were going to leave from school at eight in the morning, so that they would reach there for about noon.

Everyone was discussing the trip while their teacher went to find the letters that explained the details of the trip to their parents.

"The trip should be fun," Jasper said.

"Yeah, I guess it will," Bella said. "I do love museums."

"Me too," Tia said. "So what are you guys doing for thanksgiving?"

"Well, we usually just have a turkey dinner at the Cullen's house," Jasper said. "The Black's, Clearwater's and Charlie come over as well."

"No traditions or anything?" Tia asked.

"No, just dinner," Jasper said. "This year we'll have Bella and Gabby there as well."

"Yeah, dad told us about that," Bella said as the teacher finally walked back into class and handed out the letters to everyone. Once everyone had their letters they packed up and left class. Bella said bye to Jasper and Tia before heading off to calculus class.

---

"Hey Bella," Tanya said taking a seat next to her in the library. "How come you're in here?"

"Oh, my calculus teacher didn't show up," Bella explained. "Charlotte's just gone to get a book." Tanya nodded understanding just as Ben walked over with some books and sat down in front of Bella.

"Here, I think these should be helpful for the work we have to do," Ben said indicating the books. "Hi Tanya."

"Hey,"

"Thanks Ben," Bella replied. "So how come you're in the library, Tanya?"

"Same reason," Tanya said nonchalantly.

"How coincidental that both our teachers don't show up at the same time," Bella said thinking hard. Bella's phone vibrated from inside her bag that was on the table. She took it out and put her bag on the floor.

To: Bella

From: Edward

So what are you gonna do for the whole lesson? I could skip class if you want me too =]

Bella smiled at the message and replied.

To: Edward

From: Bella

Well me, Charlotte n Ben r in da library doin da wk dat was set 4 us, so u dnt ave 2 skip class. I wud rather u didn't get in trouble cuz ov me. Tell Ang, Ben says hi =] xx

"What did he say?" Charlotte asked sitting down on Bella's left.

"Said he'd skip class if we needed him to," Bella said amused. "I told him we'd be fine and to tell Ang that Ben said hi." Charlotte laughed as Ben looked up at her.

"Bella –," Ben started to say.

"Not like I said to tell her that you love her," Bella said quickly and Ben blushed a little. "I love it when someone other than me blushes." Bella's phone went off again.

To: Bella

From: Edward

Angela says hi back and =]. I don't mind getting in trouble for you, so are you sure you don't want me to? X

To: Edward

From: Bella

Dat jus made Ben's day. I still dnt wnt u 2 get in trouble so no, u stay in class. Now stop txtin me n do ur wk, al c u nxt lesson. xx

Bella put her phone on the table and grabbed one of the books Ben had brought over and started the work they had to do. Tanya was reading something for English class. Bella's phone went off and Tanya saw that it said that she had a new message from Edward. Bella picked it up.

To: Bella

From: Edward

Angela's happy to hear it. If you insist that I stay in class then fine. And you were the one that texted me first, so yeah. See you next lesson X

Tanya read part of the message by leaning slightly to her left. All she got was Angela's happy to hear it and if you insist. What was Angela happy to know and what was Bella insisting on? Tanya really wanted to know. She leaned a bit and tried to read her reply to Edward.

To: Edward

From: Bella

I do insist, am glad u understand. N nah uh it was u. =] xx

Tanya just saw her type it was you and a smiley face then two kisses. This was awful, what was she going to do? Bella put her phone in her pocket and continued with her work. Throughout the time they were in the library Bella kept texting back and forth but she couldn't read any of the messages as Charlotte pulled Bella towards her so that they could work together on the calculus work they had to do. The bell rang and all of them packed away.

"We've got fifteen minutes till the next lesson," Charlotte said as Ben returned the books they had used. "What shall we do?"

"I usually meet Edward and Angela in class early," Bella said to Charlotte as Ben walked back over to them.

"Well we could just go with you then until it's time for our class," Charlotte said. Bella shrugged her shoulders in response.

"Right, let's go," Bella said jumping of the table she was sat on. "See you at lunch Tanya."

"Bye," she said before walking off. Charlotte, Ben and Bella walked to English class.

"Where's Angela?" Charlotte asked as they entered class and only Edward was there.

"Oh, I just said that," Bella explained. "I only meet Edward here early but I thought that might bother Tanya even though she knows we're just friends." Charlotte nodded and sat on Bella's desk as she sat down on her seat and Ben stood next to them.

"Hey Edward," Charlotte and Ben both said.

"Hey guys," Edward said in reply and then turned to Bella. "Did so."

"Did not!" Bella said to him.

"You so did too," Edward said amused at what they were arguing about the most random thing.

"I so did not!" Bella said as more students arrived.

"So you excited about Saturday?" Charlotte asked, although she was amused at their antics as well.

"Yeah, I can't wait," Bella said happily.

"What's on Saturday?" Ben asked confused by her enthusiasm.

"The Justin Timberlake concert, that Esme and Carlisle got me tickets and backstage passes for," Bella said all in one breath. "Charlotte, Angela, Alice, Gabby, Reneesme and Rosalie are all coming with me." Ben smiled understanding her excitement just as Angela walked in. They talked until it was nearly time for lesson and then Charlotte and Ben left.

---

"Did you see her face?" Jacob said as he waited with Gabby until it was their turn to play.

"Yeah, I did," Gabby said. "Clearly it's getting to her but I think that she's just even more determined now."

"Don't worry, we shall come up with a perfect plan," Jacob said. "We shall call it Tanya Annihilation, Nauseating Yet Achievable."

"Why is it nauseating?" Gabby asked.

"Because we have to be near her," Jacob said simply.

"That's true, but your name is a bit long," Gabby pointed out.

"Fine we'll shorten it," Jacob said thinking. "We'll call it T.A.N.Y.A."

"That spells Tanya," Gabby said shaking her head.

"Well, that's what her name means," Jacob said confidently.

"What, that she needs to be annihilated and it's nauseating but achievable?" Gabby asked clearly amused. Jacob nodded his head in confirmation making Gabby laugh slightly.

"What's going on guys?" James asked as he walked over after having his turn.

"Nothing," Gabby replied still amused. "Just talking." She walked off with Jacob for their turn.

"What is it?"

"The school chat room," Bella explained looking at her laptop. "I haven't said anything yet and you should see what this 'LadiesMan217' is saying."

"LadiesMan217? As in Sam from Transformers?" Gabby asked and looked at the screen, she laughed at what she read. "Hang on let me get my laptop." Gabby got her laptop from her room and walked into Bella's room and sat down on her bed before logging into the chat room.

---

"Eww, why can't they do that somewhere else?" Bella asked disgusted.

"I don't know," Gabby said. "Jacob was the, I heart Gabby guy but who was the other one?"

"I don't know but I have the desire to kick his arse," Bella said.

"Anyway, by the reactions when the 'PinkPanties' girl said who she'd like to shag," Gabby started. "You can tell that one of the ones who said back off were Alice, Rose, Tia or Siobhan."

"Right, so it's obvious that Pixie is Alice and Anuksanumun is Tia," Bella said.

"Badgurl must be Rose," Gabby said. "I think that means Badboi is Emmett."

"Yeah and soldier was Jasper," Bella said thinking. "Do you think Edward was Anthony?"

"I don't know, did seem like him a little," Gabby said. "Why do think so?"

"No reason in particular, just felt like it was him," Bella said nonchalantly. "Plus his middle name is Anthony."

"Is it now?" Gabby said teasingly. "You seem to know a lot about him." Gabby wriggled her eyebrows at her. Bella pushed her slightly and walked downstairs to make dinner.

***

"Who do you think 'LadiesMan217' is?" Gabby asked everyone at lunch.

"I don't know," Bella replied. "Obviously a pervert, knowing my luck it's probably Mike."

"I thought it was Gabby," Rose said amused.

"Excuse me; what do you take me for, a pervert?" Gabby demanded mock outraged.

"Don't take you as a pervert, but I do take you," Rose said with a wink. Gabby chuckled and winked back. All the boys looked a little shocked at their behaviour.

"This makes me feel a little awkward," Emmett said uncomfortably.

"I'm ok with it," Jacob said suggestively and Edward and Jasper kicked him under the table. "Ouch!"

"It's obvious that Bella and Gabby were Angel and Devil," Edward said.

"What makes you say that?" Gabby asked.

"It was just rather obvious," Edward replied.

"Oh yeah," Bella said. "Can't help it force of habit."

"The chat room was fun though," Gabby commented as Tanya and Tia came and sat down.

"Hey Gabby, guess what?" Bella asked.

"What?" Gabby asked back.

"Justin Timberlake concert in four days! Including today," Bella said excitedly.

***

James pulled Jacob aside while they were in their drama class on Wednesday. Gabby was doing some scene with Embry and Quil.

"I thought you liked Reneesme?" James asked Jacob once they were out of earshot.

"I do," Jacob said.

"What about you and Gabby?"

"Oh, everyone just assumes we are together and I don't deny it," Jacob replied. "I find it amusing and so does Gabby. It doesn't matter cause all of our friends know the truth."

"Oh, right, well ok then," James said relieved.

"Hey you want my advice?" Jacob asked and James nodded. "Stop trying to get with her, just be her friend. Give her time to calm down and everything between you guys to go back to normal." James nodded and they walked back over to the rest.

---

The three Cullen's, two Hale's and Reneesme walked across the road to the Swan's house. As they approached the front door they heard loud music coming from inside.

The way we play tonight Is what we leave behind
It all comes down to right now
It's up to us So What are we gonna be? (We're gonna be…)
T-E-A-M – TEAM

Gotta work it out Turn it on! Come on

"Since when do they like High School Musical?" Alice asked perplexed as Reneesme knocked on the door. Gabby opened the door to let them in. "Gabby why –." Gabby held up her hand and pointed to the living room. They walked in and saw a little girl in blue jeans and a pink top dancing to the music.

This is the last time to get it right (Oh)
This is the last chance to make it our night (Yeah)
We gotta show what we're all about
(Team, WILDCATS! )
Work Together
This is the last chance to make our mark
History will know who we are!
This is the last game so make it, count it's Now or Never Yeah

As the song finished she turned around and saw them, she looked down embarrassed. She had short brown hair, which was held back by a pink hair band.

"This is our cousin Destiny," Gabby explained. "Her and her parents are in Seattle for the week and dad suggested they spend some time here. Your mum invited them to dinner tomorrow." They all said hi to Destiny, who shyly said hi back. Bella came into the room to say hi and then went back into the kitchen. Alice and Rose followed her as the rest took seats in the living room.

"Your cousin is so cute," Rose said. "How old is she?"

"She's seven, she's staying here till Friday evening," Bella explained as she cooked. "Then her and her parents are heading back. She lives in LA."

"Is she your cousin from your dad's side?" Alice asked.

"Yeah, her mother is my dad's first cousin, Aunt Lucy," Bella explained as Destiny walked into the kitchen.

"Bella, can I have a drink please?" Destiny asked looking at Bella.

"Of course you can," Bella replied pouring out some juice for her into a glass. "Here you go." She thanked Bella and walked back into the living room. "The last time we saw her, she was four years old. She had come to England for the Christmas holidays and they came round to see us." They helped Bella with dinner, well kept her company mostly.

***

Edward could hear someone trying to wake him up but he ignored it, he wanted to sleep. Whoever it was sighed and moved forward to try and wake him up yet again. He figured it was Alice and he didn't want her to pull his covers, so as soon as she was hovering over him he grabbed her arms tightly and attempted to pin them to her side, however she lost her balance and fell on top of him. He only half registered the electric shock at the touch or how her hair smelt of strawberries. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at a furiously blushing Bella. She had her eyes closed, so she hadn't realised that he was awake just yet. He looked at her, she really was beautiful.

"Edward?" Bella asked quietly. He loved the way she said his name in her English accent.

"Yes?" Edward replied his voice still thick with sleep.

"Um your Mum said to get up," Bella said finally opening her eyes and looking at him.

"Ok, I'm up," Edward said and slowly removed his hands from her. Bella rolled of him and got off the bed hastily.

"Is this how you usual react when someone tries to wake you up?" Bella asked straightening out the t-shirt she was wearing.

"No, I thought you were Alice," Edward replied rubbing his face. "Not that I minded." Edward mumbled the last part.

"I'm sorry?" Bella asked. He removed his hands and looked at her she was shivering slightly. Edward got up quickly and grabbed a hoodie from his wardrobe and handed it to her. "Thanks." She pulled it on over her head and she had to pull the sleeves up as it was so big to her. "Hurry up and come downstairs, it already two."

"How long have you been here?" Edward asked; Bella was looking at her feet.

"Since ten this morning," Bella answered simply. "I've been helping your mum cook."

"Oh, ok. I'll be down in bit," Edward said and Bella nodded and walked out of his room. She walked downstairs and back into the kitchen. She knew she was probably still red and needed to calm down, it didn't help that he slept topless.

"Is he awake?" Esme asked as she entered the kitchen. Bella nodded in response and went over to start making the stuffing. "Did Edward think you were Alice?" Bella nodded again. "Sorry dear, I guess I should have warned you." Bella didn't think she sounded too upset but maybe she didn't hear properly. "Is that Edward's hoodie?"

"Yeah, I was cold so he leant it to me," Bella replied. Esme smiled and passed Bella some things to add to the stuffing. Esme told Bella she could put some music on and passed her Edward's iPod and Bella placed it in the iBase. She switched it on and played whatever song was on.

Edward walked downstairs and into the kitchen, where he saw Esme and Bella dancing while cooking.

He walked over and sat down at the breakfast bar and both of them noticed his presence. Esme passed him a plate of pancakes and some syrup to put on it. Edward thanked her and started to eat.

"Hmm, these pancakes are great mum," Edward said.

"I know, Bella made them for you," Esme said turning to place the turkey in the oven. Edward looked up at Bella, who was hiding her face.

"Thank you for making me breakfast Bella," Edward said smiling at her. "You are an amazing cook."

"Thank you and you're welcome," Bella replied and continued cooking.

It was nearly six and Gabby had only just got ready and come over to the Cullen's house. She was setting the table with Reneesme, Emmett and Jasper. Rosalie, Alice and Edward brought the food in. Esme and Bella were told not to do anything as they had been cooking all day. Carlisle came home from work just then and quickly went to get changed as Billy, Jacob and Rachel arrived along with the four Clearwater's. Everyone was seated at the long dining table. Carlisle was sat at the head of the table with Esme on his right and an empty seat on his left. Alice was next to Esme with Jasper on her right, Rosalie was sat next to Jasper with Emmett on her right, Seth was sat next to Emmett with Leah on his right, Rachel was sat next to her with her dad, Billy on her right and Mr and Mrs Clearwater were sat next to him. Edward was sat next to the empty seat on his father's left with Bella on his left, Destiny was next to her with Gabby on her left, Reneesme was next her with Jacob on her left and Destiny's parents were sat next to him with Mr and Mrs Hale next to them. The door bell rang as everyone settled down and Edward went to answer it. He walked back in with Charlie, who took the empty seat next to Carlisle. Carlisle stood up and thanked everyone for coming and welcomed the new additions as well. Then he sat down and they started to eat.

During dinner casual conversations broke out around the table, as everyone talked to people around them.

"Bella?" Destiny asked quietly.

"Yes?" Bella said leaning down to talk to her. She pulled her down more and whispered in her ear.

"Is Edward your boyfriend?" Bella looked at her shocked by her question.

"No, why would you think that?" Bella whispered back to her.

"I dunno it just looked like it to me," Destiny whispered back.

"Well, he's not," Bella answered and straightened out. Unfortunately, she added in her head.

"Bella, are you ok?" Edward asked and Bella turned to look at him. She nodded her head at him in response.

---

"So, how do you like Forks?" Edward asked Destiny attempting to make conversation. Everyone had finished dinner and were now sat in the living room. The girls had gone upstairs to arrange a little treat for Destiny. Edward was supposed to keep her busy, he didn't really know what to do but she seemed to like him.

"I like all the friends I made here," Destiny said happily. "I missed Bella and Gabby. And Uncle Charlie is great."

"Yeah he is," Edward replied happily. "And I'm pretty sure everyone here likes you just as much as you like them."

"Yay! The only thing that bothers me is the weather," Destiny said making a face.

"Oh yeah, Bella told me you live in Malibu," Edward said. "It's sunny there all the time, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is," Destiny explained. "I can't even remember it raining, ever, in my whole life." Edward laughed. "Seriously, I had to get new clothes just for this trip, cause I don't have any warm clothes." Edward smiled at her; she was such an adorable little girl. "Oh um Edward?"

"Yes?" She leaned forward and whispered in his ear.

"Is Bella your girlfriend?"

"No," Edward replied a little taken aback by her question. "What gave you that idea?"

"Just seemed like it to me," she replied and shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, she's not my girlfriend," Edward stated. Unfortunately, he thought. Alice called down the stairs and told Edward to send Destiny upstairs. She ran up the stairs and Edward followed with the rest of the guys.

Destiny walked into Alice's room and saw that it was covered with Hannah Montana stuff. She gasped at the room in awe.

"We thought that since you're leaving tomorrow and that you've put up with this dreadful weather we have, you deserved a treat," Bella explained. "So Alice and Rose went out yesterday and bought all this stuff, I told them you love Hannah Montana."

"So we thought we'd have a little Hannah Montana party," Gabby added. "Just for you." Destiny gave them all her beautiful big smile and launched herself across the room at Bella and then Gabby. She then hugged Reneesme, Rose, Alice, Rachel and Leah (the latter two who had decided to help, since Destiny is adorable). Alice held up Hannah Montana the Movie Soundtrack and Destiny jumped up and down happily. She put the CD on and they all started to dance along with Destiny, who looked overjoyed.

"Let's go up and check what they're doing," Jacob said getting up from the couch, where he had been sat with the boys playing video games. The boys got up and followed him. They walked over to Alice's room, her door was open and they looked inside to see what they were doing.

"Ok, you think you guys got it?" Destiny asked the girls. They nodded their heads and Destiny pressed play.

They did a specific dance routine and it looked like they had just learnt it as well. As the song continued they repeated the same routine.

They all took a bow and the boys clapped. They turned around to face them and bowed again.

"Well that was a fun thanksgiving," Bella said as she changed into her shorts and tank top.

"I know, it was great," Gabby replied walking into Bella's room, already changed.

"You know, Destiny asked me if Edward was my boyfriend," Bella said walking out of her wardrobe. "She said that's what it looked like to her."

"See, even a little girl can tell you guys like each other," Gabby said sitting down on to Bella's bed. Bella came over and sat down as well.

"I don't like him," Bella replied getting into her bed. Gabby looked at her confused.

"Wait, you're telling the truth," Gabby said confused. "But you do like him, I'm confused."

"Well, I ... um..." Bella trailed off looking at her lap.

"Oh my god!" Gabby gasped. "You love him!" Gabby was being overly dramatic when she said this.

"If you're gonna be like this then I won't tell you," Bella said.

"Sorry, sorry, go on,"

"I love him, I know I've only known him a while but I can't help it," Bella explained and Gabby smiled at her.

Edward pulled his shirt and jeans off. He pulled on his pyjamas and walked into his bathroom to brush his teeth. He then walked over to his bed thinking about how the day had gone. He had woken up to Bella in his arms; Destiny thought that she was his girlfriend. He knew, he had known her for a while that he was completely and insatiably in love with Bella Swan.
