CHAPTER 14

A/N: She is sixteen thank you lord the fun begins NOW!

I own nothing; if I did I wouldn't be writing fan fics I'd be writing the fifth book of Twilight, which Stephanie Meyer SHOULD be doing.

So decided that this would be dedicated to all of you because I have about 230 reviews and I never thought I would get there so thank you all so much.

And a quick shout out to Ana Ivy Whitlock, for being so brilliant as to guess my twists word for word. Now if only you could figure out the other one… lol ;p

Here it is Dun dun dun duuuhhhhh!

Oh real quick you MUST read this part: what happens in this chapter happens for a reason, don't get you panties in a knot though okay? it will all be okay it really isn't as bad as you think I PROMISE! Don't stop reading or start hating because of this chapter, it is just to get this age started okay? This is hardly even a part of the big twists I have planned.

BPOV (SIXTEEN)

I stared at my new room in Forks, Washington. We would be here a while Carlisle had promised, now that I was older we could stay longer without people getting so suspicious about the family.

I had made a choice back in Oregon, not to get to close to anyone, and I didn't. Sure I had friends, but none of them were the kind of friends like Amy, Melissa, and Chloe, who I still keep in touch with.

I hung out more with my family, with Emmett, and Edward, Jasper and Alice, Rosalie. All of them they were my best friends.

"Do you like your room!?" Alice asked skipping in. I nodded smiling. Same style as my room in Oregon but bigger.

"It's wonderful." I said and laughed when the pixie threw herself on me in a big hug. I smiled and hugged her back.

Every once in a while I would wonder about the mysterious visions she had, the ones that we hadn't heard about since our first night in Oregon. But I remembered so clearly, the sad, scared Alice. And I compared her to the one that stood before me now, and I couldn't help but wonder what it had all been about.

"We will go shopping tomorrow," She said happily, "We'll get you a bunch of new clothes for school when fall comes around!" I opened my mouth to protest, I saw her smile fall quickly.

"Isabella Marie don't you dare fight me on this. I am not letting you start this school year with the clothes you own now. Now if I have to drag you out of here myself to go to the mall I will.""

"But you picked them out!" I argued she simply shrugged I sighed knowing this was a losing fighting, "Fine." I mumbled. She smiled and hugged me again.

"Oh Bella I am so excited! You are going to be a junior with Edward and I this year! We will all be in high school together!"

Jasper walked in smiling, it was the kind of smile that would have any girl falling weak at the knees, I sighed if I hadn't lived with him all these years I probably would have too. "Hello ladies." He said, "Am I interrupting?"

"Nope," I said as Alice stopped hugging me and went to hug Jasper, "I've just been threatened into shopping tomorrow." I said, Jasper smiled.

"Better you than me." He said and Alice playfully slapped him on the chest.

"You're lucky I want tomorrow to be a girl's day. You just wait mister, your day is coming." He smiled and kissed her nose.

"Can you believe Bella's a junior?" She asked him, "We're starting another new year! She's….. Sixteen about to be seventeen." I noticed something change in the way Alice talked, slowly the happiness went away a bit.

"Alice?" Jasper asked worriedly.

"I'm fine!" She said happily, "I was spacing sorry. Come on Jasper let's go make sure our room is all ready." She said dragging him out, he glanced over and me and smiled before leaving completely.

I laughed at the little pixie I got to call sister. I had just finished unpacking the last box when Edward walked in.

"Hello Bella," He smiled coming over to me. "All unpacked?" I nodded, "Good then come with me, I have something I want to show you." Taking my hand he led me out of my room.

I felt like a silly school girl, the moment he grabbed my hand I felt electricity that made my heart rate spike. He glanced over at me curiously but I pointedly ignored him. Stupid vampire hearing.

Yes so I'm still in love with Edward Cullen. It's horrible and unhealthy but it's there so what can I do. I loved him, and he loved me like a sister most likely. And that hurt but it is what it is.

He led me to his room, which had huge glass doors that looked out onto the forest. "I want to show you this place I found a long time ago when we lived here." He said, going to open the doors. He lifted me onto his back, And Jumped, grabbing onto the nearest tree.

"Hold on tight spider monkey," (A/N: Sorry I loved that random line so I added it) He said I laughed but did as I was told.

We were racing through the trees. Everything was flying by in a blur. And then we stopped. We were in a lush green meadow, it was beautiful and peaceful and absolutely perfect.

"Edward, it's amazing." I said sitting down right in the middle. I don't think I had ever seen a place as beautiful as it was here.

EDPOV

I watched her as she looked around the meadow. My Bella, I thought sighing. She was sixteen now, and more beautiful than ever. Her long mahogany hair went to the middle of her wait, her chocolate brown eyes were big and breathtaking.

She wore no make-up she didn't need any, she was stunning with her natural looks alone (A/N: I wear makeup… I feel as if I just dissed myself, is that weird? Lol).

Damn it, I cursed myself. I must stop thinking about her that way. Stop thinking as if I was in love with Bella.

Was I? Was I in love with this fragile human girl? This girl I watched grow up and transform into the beautiful woman she is now? Could I see myself with her? Loving her as a man loved a woman?

The answer to that (As much as it scared me) was yes. I was in love with the angel before me, and I could never do anything about it. She loved me as a sister would love a brother, as Alice loved me. Not as a woman loved a man. I sighed sadly, knowing theses thought are thought I shouldn't have.

"What's wrong Edward?" Bella asked pulling me out of my thoughts. She was sitting in the middle of the meadow watching me curiously, "You've sighed at least a dozen times since we got here." I laughed, this girl always saw too much.

"Nothing wrong," I lied perfectly, "Just thinking." I went and laid beside where she was sitting, the sun was out and hit my skin, causing me to sparkle… how manly, I thought to myself.

"What about?" Bella asked, taking my hand into her lap so she could observe it closer. She always loved when the sun touched our skin; it was fascinating and beautiful, was what she had once told me.

"You." I said honestly, and that was as honest I was going to get on the subject, "You're sixteen." I said in disbelief, only a year younger than my human age. My bodies age.

"Yeah yeah and you're seventeen, or is it 102? Which do you prefer?" She said sarcastically. She hated that she was catching up with us, and soon surpassing our ages. She hated it and she hated when we mentioned it.

"Oh I prefer 102," I told her making her bite her lip to hold back a laugh, "Makes me seem wiser," she couldn't seem to help it now, she laughed and quickly tried to stop. "Do you think I could get any interviews if I came out and told people I was born in 1901?" I asked with a serious look on my face. I wanted to lighten the mood, this seemed to do the trick.

"I think you would be hospitalized seeing as how technically you're seventeen." She told me, I sighed.

"Well, there goes my fifteen minutes in the spotlight." I said sadly. She smiled, man I loved her smile. So happy and full of life…

APOV (after leaving Bella's room)

I dragged Jasper into our room and closed the door quickly. "Alice, what's going on?" He asked worriedly.

"She's sixteen, about to start her junior year." I said, he looked at me confused, he didn't get it.

"Jasper this is when everything starts! Its going to start happening now." I said and finally I saw understanding flash on his face. Quickly he pulled me to his chest and sat down on the bed.

"Alice it might have changed, you haven't had those visions in a really long time." He tried to comfort. And he was right for more than three years I haven't had those visions. But I knew, I just knew deep down that nothing changed.

"Jasper, this is it." I told him, "We aren't going to be together much longer."

"Alice how could you say that?! Don't say that, please just don't." He begged pulling me closer.

Whether the words were spoken or not, I knew they were true.

Then it came, so suddenly didn't expect it.

I saw Jasper, sitting on the couch, in arm around a girl I could see. Oddly I was sad by this. Then a man come up and put his arm around my shoulders, I turned, smiling and saw a man. Tall, with black hair, and golden eyes. "Hello sweetheart." He said with a British accent. Then he leaned down and very gently, kissed me.

I came out of the vision a little confused, "Oh no," I moaned, "They're back." But I wasn't as upset this time, I started thinking about this man I would apparently love, who was he? And who was the girl Jasper was with.

Oh boy, here we go again.

(So I was going to end it here but I decided to give you more juicy stuff since this chapter is rather dull)

BPOV (1 Week Later)

"The Denali coven is coming!" Alice suddenly announced while we were all in the living room doing our own separate things.

"They'll be here in an hour, at 9pm!" She said looking over at Carlisle.

"Is there any particular reason? Did something happen?" Esme asked, worried.

"Nope, just a visit." Alice said and smiled over at Jasper, whose lap she was sitting on. It was so cute, watching the two of them. I wanted that, I wanted someone to love so fully that they would do anything for me, and vice versa.

I laughed a little to myself, realizing I was actually jealous of Alice for having someone like Jasper. Jasper looked up and stared at me a little confused. Oops, I thought, I have to start remembered the empath.

I shook my head at him and smiled, assuring him nothing was wrong.

An hour later there was a knock at the door. I went to open it and was greeted by Tanya. "Bella!" She said happily, hugging me closely. "Look at you." She said pulling back. I hadn't seen her in almost a year, yet nothing about her seemed to have changed, she was beautiful.

Everyone came in hugging, and greeting and talking all at once. We decided to go outside, since it was such a beautiful night.

We all went to sit on the grass in the back yard, I was between Jasper and Edward and leaning back on Emmett who had his arm lovingly around Rosalie who was playing with my hair. Alice sat beside Jasper, holding his hand tightly. And the Denali spread out around us. The only ones not sitting were Esme, Carlisle and Irena, who were standing by the back door talking.

"Look up there." Edward pointed. Jasper and I both looked, "The north star." We all said laughing.

ESMEPOV (I know it's never happened!)

I stood, watching my children as they laughed and joked. My children I thought, not my blood, none of them by blood but they were mine. I would do anything for them and Carlisle. As I knew Carlisle would for us.

Think this I turned to my husband, who was talking to Irena about her wanting to become a doctor. AS if sensing me watching him and smiling, a small smile of his own played on his lips and he reached over to take my hand, interlocking our fingers together.

I looked up and saw Tanya walking towards us. "Hello dear." I said when she reached me. She truly was a beautiful girl. It was a shame Edward didn't love her.

"Hello Esme." She smiled. "So how are you all settling?" She asked, such a polite girl.

"Very well actually, I think Bella is really going to like it here since she'll be going to school with everyone finally. In Oregon when she reached high school everyone else had 'graduated.'" I said laughing a bit. Tanya laughed and turned to look at everyone.

I saw her eyes stop on Edward, who was point up and the sky, in a direction Bella and Jasper were looking and laughing. I could see it clearly in her eyes, that she loved my first and youngest son. The only one without a mate.

I placed my hand on her shoulder and she turned to me sadly, "Sorry." She mumbled quietly.

"Do you still love him dear?" I asked knowing the answer already, she nodded sadly. I smiled and hugged her around the shoulders, wishing I could help somehow.

Later that night, after Bella was in bed I decided to find Edward, and talk to him.

EDPOV (HERE COMES THAT PART I SAID DON'T FRAK ABOUT OKAY! JUST REMEMBER I WARNED YOU! IT WONT BE LONG FOR IT I PROMISE!)

I sat outside, alone now watching the sky, contently. I heard Esme approaching and turned just as she reached me sitting down beside me.

"Hello son?" She said, leaning her head on my shoulder for a hug. "I'd like to talk to you." She said facing me, "About Tanya." Uh oh.

"I want you to be happy son; I was wondering if in any way Tanya could make you happy. She loves you so much, and well neither of you have mates; I thought maybe it could work. I thought maybe you could be with her now."

I stared at my mother in shock, "You want me to be with Tanya?" I asked slowly.

"I want you to be happy, and if you think Tanya could make you happy then yes. And the girl loves you it is obvious in her eyes that she does."

"I'll think about it." I said, shocking us both. Esme stood and left me alone to think.

Could I love Tanya? Yes, I loved her but it was as a friend loved a friend, I wasn't in love with her.

I was in love with Bella, something that could never happen I know. I know the chances of me loving another the way I love Bella were slim. So what about Tanya? How cruel would that be? Tanya is a kind individual, she proved that with Bella. And I had fun with her, we were friends, we could laugh together easily.

Could I marry Tanya? Would it hurt her to know ALL of my feelings?

As if knowing I was thinking about her Tanya walked out. She wore simple jeans and a white form fitting t-shirt, and black converse tennis shoes. Her strawberry blonde hair was pulled into a messy pony tail. She truly was a beautiful person, and I could tell that even before she was changed she was.

"You seemed a little lonely." She said smiling at me, "Everything okay?"

"I think we should talk." I told her, I couldn't believe I was doing this. I knew I was trying to get myself to move on, away from Bella, if Tanya could help with that, after she knew all my feelings would that, could that be okay?

I told her everything, how I was in love with Bella, but knew it wouldn't work. About Esme's talk, and how I knew I loved her, in a friend way. But I wondered if we could be happy married together.

When I finished she was silent. "You want to marry me?" She whispered.

"I don't know," I said honestly, "I know with you I can be me since you have known me for so long, and we are close friends. I wonder if it could work."

"And you are in love with Bella, but you want to move on from that?" Her voice still a whisper. I nodded.

"If I said okay let's do it, right now. Would you agree and marry me?" She asked.

"I think…" I thought for a moment, "I think I might." I answered honestly. I wanted to be over Bella, maybe marrying someone who I knew I had some type of feelings for was just the way to do it.

"Let me ask you one thing," She said, "You say right now you love me but you aren't in love with me. Do you think you could ever be in love with me Edward?"

I thought about this, "I think one day maybe I could… I could try." I told her honestly.

She sighed, "My turn to talk." She said, "Edward for the longest time I have been so in love with you. I have tried countless times to fight it yet it never worked. Something about you drew me in and I don't know why but I couldn't fight it.

I've been in love with you for so long. And now you tell me this? Edward I'm going to hate myself for this, for saying yes I'd marry you, knowing you love someone else. But That's what I am saying, Edward if there is a chance, finally, that I could get you to fall in love with me then yes I'll take it."

I couldn't believe this, could I do this, leave my feelings for Bella and marry Tanya in hopes that I'll fall in love with her? If I couldn't have Bella, I decided, I would want someone like Tanya sweet and caring.

"So, that's a yes?" I asked shocked. She nodded.

"I can't believe I'm agreeing to this but, yes." She said. Standing, "But I'll only take so much of this. I at least want a proper asking." She smiled and I couldn't help but smile too. I rose then got down on one knee.

"Tanya, will you marry me?" I saw her golden eyes gleam. She loved me, maybe I could love her like that too.

"Well duh." She laughed and hugged me. Now we just have to tell our families….

(A/n: I know you probably hate me right now but don't worry! It's leading up to a big moment so please don't hate me okay! Please, please, please lol. I know it's crazy and unexpected but there is a point to my madness I swear!)

BPOV

I woke up early, and saw Alice going through my closet looking for my clothes for today, "Morning Bella," She said handing me a t-shirt that she approved of and jeans."Hurry and get ready." She said, not as smiling today.

I did as she asked and went down stairs to the kitchen where everyone was gathered. "Alright son," Carlisle said, his arm draped over Esme's shoulders, "We are all here, so let's hear this news." I stood by Emmett who was holding Rosalie's hand, and Jasper who had one arm wrapped around Alice who was standing in front of him. Everyone looked to Edward.

I was a little confused when Tanya came up to stand next to him, "Everyone, "He said, "Tanya and I have been talking, and we decided that we are going to get married." As he said this, his eyes landed on me and they turned a little sad, I knew my face showed my disbelief.

Everyone gasped. All but Alice, she already knew. My emotions swirled, anger, hurt, confusion, sadness, love for the man getting married, it was over whelming. I heard Jasper mutter, "Oh no." Before grabbing my shoulder, sending a wave of calmness.

How was this happening? People rushed to them, congratulating and asked questions.

I couldn't take it, I quietly left the room, going back to my bedroom where I cried. I cried until I felt to small hands on my back. I turned to see Alice, "I…" I couldn't finish.

"I know," She said pulling me to her, hugging me tightly, "Trust me sweetie I know," She said rocking me as I cried.

I felt calm because of her and because of Jasper standing in the doorway. He came over and sat down on my other side, taking both Alice and I in his arms.

I sat there and cried as Alice soothed me, rubbing my hair from my face.

A/N: I'm sorry don't kill me lol. I know some might be mad but it'll turn out great I promise! Tell me what you think though?

It's all a part of the twist, Tanya and Edward won't be marrying each other for too long I promise. No hating that might make ME cry lol.

I'll do another chapter right now! Just to make it all better
