When we got to the house we showed the men around. Jake and Nico wanted us to go swimming but I had.. err… other plans. So we told them we'd see them in the morning and headed upstairs to my wing. Which totally blew Edward's mind. However, in the sense of being all mushy we decided to continue our evening activities in my old bedroom.

Everything looked so delicate when we walked in. I hadn't been in there yet but now that I was everything looked so damn breakable. The bed, the desk, the old computer - it had all been ancient then. The window was still unlocked. Always unlocked for Edward. I could see where the floorboards had been pulled up and then pushed down. There was a slight bulge where the CD and pictures would've been. It was overwhelming to say the least. Maybe this wasn't the best idea…

"This is too much. I would hate to destroy anything in here, it all looks so … fragile. Maybe we could just talk in here for a little while, then go back to my room?" I asked him. I didn't want to break anything but I wasn't ready to leave just yet. Everything about this room screamed us. I needed to be here, with him, to finish healing. I needed to get over the pain completely and I felt that this would be the last step.

So, being the big silly losers we are, we talked. For a few hours in fact. He told be about trying to track Victoria for a few years and how useless it had been because he never could find her. I told him it was even more useless than he thought because her ashes had been in my fireplace six months after he left. I told him about Volterra and everything I had done for the past century. How I had actually come to enjoy getting dressed up for the balls and extravagant things. He mentioned that they had never been invited and I quickly reassured him that was only because too many people in the castle had wanted to kill him at the time. Even though so much had changed - nothing had really changed. We were both still undeniably us. Things had changed on the outside. He had become more recluse and I had definitely become more outspoken. All in all, though, he was still Edward and I was still Bella. We were stronger now, that's all.

We eventually retreated back to my area of the house. Let me just say right now - I love Alice. I'm going to have to let her throw an engagement party or something. Seriously. I love her for setting me up. I love her for calling off the dare. She's a really great sister.

Oh & I LOVE Esme for my stripper heels. I made cousin-brother beg. They're broken now - but I'll definitely be getting new ones.

The night was nowhere near straight out of a romance novel. It was awkward. We were unsure. Which is ridiculous - I was a century old and he was centuries old. Still, we were like two nerdy high school kids (which, I guess, technically, is a fair description).

But it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I mean cousin-brother is just too damn good at EVERYTHING! I can't say I really mind it though.

Stupid high school was definitely interrupting when it was time to start getting ready. Nico and I were interrupted in the middle of hair and make-up by Edward and Jacob freaking out over the outfits. Not that Jake was going to school, but we were making him play along. All of the guys were going to be wearing light pink polo shirts and faded, torn jeans. The girls were the same except our polo shirts were baby blue. Everyone had matching white sneakers and white oversized sunglasses. I'm not sure what we were going for but matching seven people had too be crazy enough. Not to mention Esme, Jake, and the girls would be matching - just not at school. We even bought Carlisle some pink scrubs. Because we're cool like that.

Jake was going to the store today while we were in school to get some human.. er… wolf food.

When we pulled up to the school for what would, hopefully, be our first full day in attendance all of the other Cullen's were waiting for us. Emmett and Jasper looked thoroughly annoyed with being forced to wear the clothes we picked out for the day. Jasper never had a chance since Alice was in on the game with us. Rose, however, was just pretending to care about the game so that Emmett would pretend to be pissed off. Which would lead to make-up sex.

I promise, that's really why she's doing it. We talked yesterday.

And because she loves me. But who doesn't, right?

We spent first period playing chess with Alice and Jasper. Alice won, duh. I'm still not sure how she gained the advantage and beat me at a game of chess in my own head but I'm not even going to try to figure it out.

I spent all of second period teasing Nico because Jake had to sleep. It really stinks for her. Ha. She spent all of third period teasing me for spending three hours talking. To which I replied, of course, that even though I spent three hours talking, I still got more than her. Ha, again.

In fourth period we ended up sitting next to a very annoying, very irritating girl. I think she thought she was the picture of perfection with all her caked on make-up and overdone hair. She should realize that if anyone in that class was anywhere near perfect - It was Nico and I. Seriously. This girl wouldn't shut up. I swear all she talked about was how cool she was. Dumb hoe. We're going to call her Stephanie. Her name is Brittany but I'm going to pretend to never remember it. Even though, unfortunately, I will never forget it. Parts of our conversation were amusing though.

"So. You're new here? I heard you had a rough couple of first days but I'm so glad I finally got to meet you! The whole school has been talking about you two!"

"Uh huh."

"SERIOUSLY! I'm so excited! I hope you have the chance to be almost as popular as me! That would be nice, wouldn't it?"

"No thanks."

"Oooh! I can't wait to introduce you to everyone at lunch!" She doesn't shut up.

"We're taken for lunch, sorry."

"Well, I'm sure you can get out of it. What are you doing for lunch? OH! You have to meet my boyfriend. We met over the summer. He's absolutely gorgeous! We're not telling anyone yet, but I'll tell you two." I found it very hard to picture this girl not telling somebody ANYTHING, let alone about her boyfriend.

"Well, honestly, we don't care."

"Well you should! Edward Cullen is the hottest guy at school! You should be jealous like everyone else!" Seriously. This little girl did not just call Edward hers. Oh no. Can you be anymore full of yourself?

"Wow that's cool, since we've been dating practically since I was born," I mean, you know, since I died but whatever, "But good for you, thinking you're dating my fiancé and all. I mean, well not technically, because we're so young but it's already been set up. That's what parents do sometimes when you're ridiculously rich. I guess you wouldn't know that though." Okay, I know, I so stooped close to her level. Whoops. I don't care. She looked like she felt like an idiot. Then, mysteriously, she started having sharp pains in her stomach and had to go see the nurse. I guess today was Jane's day for school duty. I'd have to thank her for that later. And congratulate her on learning to control it so well. That girl was only human and she survived Jane. I'm so proud. Of Jane not the stupid child.

So this Stephanie girl was going to be the most irritating waste of time this year. She wasn't going to leave me alone, I could already tell that. Without Alice. Maybe I should let Jane enroll in school… This girl was going to have me blowing shit up by the end of the semester if I was forced to hear her talk everyday.

In fifth block we found out that Alice had absolutely no intention of missing this afternoon's decorating session. Not that I ever expected her to. She was already packed for Italy and her bags were in the trunk of the car. Apparently, everyone was going. Except for Jake. Heidi and Jane were coming but Bridgett and Kendall were staying here to keep an eye out for Jake.

The more I thought about it, the more obvious it was that Daddy had lied about not knowing the Cullens were here. If he hadn't known we would have ended up having something completely ridiculous like a ballroom in our house. However, the entire third floor had been converted into a house inside of our house. It had a common area and six mini bedrooms with not-so-mini closets. It had two bathrooms one which was apparently for Demetri whenever he came back. It was almost normal size, maybe not too much bigger than a regular bathroom. The other was obviously specifically made for four girls. It was HUGE. It had four freaking showers! And I never caught on. I'm so silly sometimes, I swear.

Luckily the rest of the day passed with no glitches, or anything to make us leave school suddenly, or anymore girls like Stephanie-Brittany who claimed to be secretly dating my fiancé. That was completely ridiculous! Edward doesn't do anything secretly. He would have announced to the world if he were dating anyone. I did, however, tease him all through lunch and sixth block about his little girlfriend. And asked him how it felt now that the tables were turned and a human was stalking him. Ha. He said he never stalked me. Puhlease. Hanging out in my bedroom while I was asleep and didn't know he was there? Following me to Port Angeles? Seriously. It qualifies. Of course my sick demented mind never cared. Not even a little.

We went shopping for a couple hours and decided to let Bridgett and Kendall set up their rooms and everyone else's while we were in Italy. We bought beds for each room, except for Demetri's. We knew if he needed to use a bed he would use Heidi's, so, we just set him up a little study. We bought all of the girls a few new outfits, just to be nice, and bought Edward some things to wear on our trip. He hadn't packed since we had been… well, busy. Nico and I didn't need to pack because we lived in Volterra. Duh. There was no way we would have been able to fit even half our clothes into our new closets. We had planned on buying new stuff when we got here but Heidi and Jane had beat us to it. Regardless, our closets at home were still fully stocked. We bought televisions and stereos for the third floor. Also, a pool table, a foosball table, and several mirrors for the girls. And every gaming system we could find. Well, two of each. And a few pinball machines. But that was it. Okay, I lied. Anything we saw that caught our eye was bought. We're talking about anything Alice, Nico, or I saw. Seriously, we had to get a moving truck. Okay, it might have been like six trucks. Worth it though. Especially when I saw the look on Jake's face when he noticed the new big screen being put into what was now his study on the second floor. Study, Ha. The only thing Jake was going to study would be tonight's basketball game. Or tomorrow's hockey game.

The Cullen's met up with us almost immediately after we got back and we all headed off to a place less conspicuous for a private jet. Than my front yard. Or roof. We all had a few small conversations at the beginning of the flight but eventually we ended up spending time with our significant others. Or in Nico's case - Heidi and Jane. Rose and Emmett caused some turbulence mid-flight. That only led to Edward and I causing much more turbulence after they stopped.

And to Emmett getting mean-mugged, punched, and bitch-slapped for cheering us on the whole time. Nico and I decided that the next time him and Rose were having their private time we were going to hop into his head and start talking to him.

You know, just to cheer him on.

So to make up for last night's super short chapter I give you today's twice as long chapter.

Which will probably not be the only one.

Do I do anything besides sit on fanfiction all day?

No, not really.

Reviewsies please, love, please.
