a/n: Dedication- Bethany Knight: Thank you very much for your review. I was trying to capture the dynamics of all different emotions at once through out the entire chapter, so I am glad you had had different emotions running. As for the cutting, it's a surprise!
Olympic1340: Your reviews are not a bit to much at all. Short reviews are amazing and motivating, but reviews like yours that go through each part of the chapter and analyze it from the readers point of view are great, it's amazing to see each aspect that you guys see, because I am obviously going to have a different reaction to it. I'm glad that each emotion I was trying to express through certain points of the chapter came through the right way, it's complicated to write and it's nice to know I accomplished it.
Unseen Wonder: Yes, Esme is going to be in this, patience! I'm trying to make sure this story covers everything I can possibly cover. Your story made me chuckle, very interesting. I run around school pretending to be Edward Cullen, I actually bite people too, I'm known for my random out bursts, so that is normal behavior for me. I dress in the most random out fits with crazy colors that stand out, all that. I'm known for being insane, so welcome to the crazy house!
anothertwilither: First, thank you very much for your review. Second, the reason why they can't stand up against there step father, or father in Jasper and Rosalie's case, is pretty much in the story, but not clearly stated. Like I said before, I usually write certain parts into my stories, hinting a much bigger meaning behind something more simple. For example, Edward's constant mood swings and violent out bursts hinted that he had bipolar disorder. That was not clearly stated right away, but I gave enough clues to be able to make the reader understand what was the real reason he acts like that. Basically, if you didn't catch the clues in there, the reasons that they can't stand up to him is because not only are they afraid, but Edward also doesn't want them too. Hope that answered some of your questions.
lakepup: Yes, I agree that troubled teens are a group of people that are very misunderstood. To Write Love On Her Arms is such a touching story, I had considered that a lot when I was writing. Since you said that you would like to see this in the story, I will write it in, your wish, my command. I'm very glad you like this story and are getting the true reason as to why I am writing it. Thanks for your review.
Horsekisses: This has become the best story I have ever written, and I have written hundreds of them. It went from being the one that I wasn't even going to post because I thought it would be an epic failure to the story that everyone seems to love. It's nice to hear it is addicting, that is every writers dream. Thanks for your updates.
xoLovelyEyesox, Nevaeh09, Bella595, lillitgirlx2, icefang7, World Of Peace, katykat18, sokkergtee, and Crazy 80's Babe: Thank you guys very, very much for your amazing reviews, your constant support motivates me to continue writing.
Wow, a lot of new reviewers! Thanks for reviewing guys and I'm glad you liked this story as well. Well, I just wanted to let you guys all know, I actually have many events planned out for the story, and a giant turn of events, and also the ending. Based on the amount of idea's I have for this story, it looks like you guys are in for a much longer, complicated, roller coaster!
Quick question, do you guys like when I leave each of you little notes to read before I post the chapter, or do you think it is to much? I write them because you guys each took the time to read and comment my story, so I should take the time to ignoladge each one of you that reviewed before I posted my new chapter. If you think it's annoying, let me know lol.
Chapter 21!!

Breakfast was short and simple. Alice made some eggs while Emmet and Jasper argued over who got to cook the bacon. Edward was quiet, as usual, his arms locked around my waist tightly. Him and I sat on the couch, cuddling closely. I reached my hand up to trace the beautiful, pale, plans of his cheek bones. His face flinched back slightly, away from my hand, but moved back to my hand. I made no comment about the fear that flashed through his eyes, letting my hand brush over his face.
His lips parted slightly under my thumb, his eyes fluttering closed. His lips were as soft as his skin, his whole body was soft. I let my thumbs brush over whole face, moving my mouth to suck lightly on his neck. He groaned quietly, his pulse flying beneath my lips. His hands found my waist, dragging me up to straddle him on the couch. Much to my satisfaction, his head fell back, giving me more room to lick at his neck.
His hands slowly moved me back and forth against his lap, both of us moaning quietly. How quickly we went from one thing to another! He gasped when I nibbled on his earlobe, murmuring how much he loved me. I could feel his arousal pushing against my core, the friction and pressure was amazingly pleasant. His hands pressed roughly against my lower back, forcing me even closer. My arms stayed permanently locked around his neck, his body shuddering below me.
I heard Emmet and Jasper howl with laughter while Alice tried to usher them out of the room, hushing them. I ignored them, biting his neck roughly, rough enough to make Edward yelp slightly, ending in a moan. We kissed roughly, our mouths ravishing each others. Our teeth clashed together, our tongues desperately fight against each other. A low, frustrated growl bubbled up deep in his chest as his hands pushed against the back of my head, forcing my mouth closer.
One of his hands found it's way under my shirt, squeezing my breast roughly. His mouth ripped away from my mouth, attacking my neck now. He was lost in his own lust clouded world, I could only imagine where his mind was. He was grumbling incoherent phrases against my skin as quiet as a whisper. His hips were pushing against mine desperately, wanting more. "Breath baby," I mumbled in his ear, and in response he gasped, panting for air.
"Whoa, head rush." He blinked dizzily at me, a stupid smile playing across his face. "I'm loosing my mind, when I am around you I can't even breath right." I climbed off him slowly, rolling over to sit next to him. The front of his pants were soaked through with pre-cum and he blushed slightly, resting his arm over his lap. "I have no control over my body, that's never a good thing." I snaked my arm around him, pulling his head to rest in my lap, rubbing calming circles on his chest.
"I like bad boys," I teased, trying to break through his embarrassment. Sure enough, he smiled slightly, settling his head on my thighs. Our hands found each other, and instantly intertwined together as if we were a puzzle piece that finished the puzzle. We sat quietly for a moment before Alice's small head popped out from the hallway, "You guys done in here?" Edward blushed slightly and I stroked his cheek lovingly to sooth him. "Yes Alice, everything is fine."
She stepped out from behind the wall, Emmet and Jasper following close behind, a huge grin on both of there faces. Jasper smirked at me while Emmet made low moaning noises, "Bella, oh Bella, I'm a horny teenager." Jasper and Emmet howled with laughter and Alice just shook her head, throwing a pillow off the couch at them. Edward squirmed in my lap, sighing in frustration. "Sh, it's okay." His eyes held mine and all his frustration seemed to melt away.
Emmet and Jasper snickered on, making exaggerated masturbation movements, groaning and laughing. "Use your hand Edward, like you used to." Edward took it like a good sport, letting them have there laughs at his expense. I smiled down at him, but thinking about it, I couldn't stop myself from imagining him masturbating, that was something I wanted to see. He grinned at me, oblivious to the actions of his brothers and the direction my thoughts had taken.
The house was in high spirits, until we heard the sound of a car pulling into the driveway. Edward shot off my lap, backing into the corner of the room, his breath coming in quick pants now. Emmet and Jasper abruptly quieted, glancing nervously from the door to Edward. Edward sank to the floor, snuggling his face into his knee's. Alice was the first one to gather her head and she darted for the window, peeking out quickly.
"It's mom, it's only mom." The relief in her voice was obvious, and everyone in the room took deep breaths of relief, everyone except for Edward. He didn't move on the floor, frozen in place. I went to him, wrapping my arms around him. A key was pushed into the lock, and the sound made Edward tense more. I ran my fingers through his hair, holding him close. "Hey kids." The musical voice was soothing and for the first time, I got a good look at Edward's mother.
She looked a lot like him, beautiful in her own way. She had long bronze colored hair, the same as Edward's. She had the same pale complexion with the same facial features. It was obvious that Emmet, Alice, and Edward were her biological children, they all looked very much alike. Edward slowly raised his eyes to his mother's, a small smile touching his soft lips.
Esme's eyes looked from Alice, to Emmet and Jasper, to Edward, than to me. Her soft smile warmed my heart, and I couldn't help but smile back. "Who is our guest?" Edward got to his feet, helping me up as well. "Mom, this is Bella." She smiled wider, "The girl you told me about from biology?" I was shocked and flattered at the same time to find out that Edward had mentioned me to his mother. "Yes, this is her," He murmured, blushing slightly. "Well Bella, it's nice to meet you." She stepped foreword, extending her hand which I timidly took.
"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Cullen." She smiled warmly, "Call me Esme." I blushed slightly, nodding. "Well, I just stopped home for a lunch break kids." Lunch break? For the first time today, my eyes found a clock, 1:30pm, already? We just ate breakfast, I couldn't believe the day was already half way over. Edward's hand found mine, holding it tightly in his as he smiled at his mother. "Want me to make you something to eat?" She nodded, heading for the kitchen. "Edward, did you put some ice on your eye?"
He let go of my hand, heading over the the refrigerator, "No, I'm fine, really." Did he honestly think he could say that to his mother and not make her more worried? She walked over, turning him around and poking at the dark shadow surrounding his beautiful eye. "It's not swollen anymore, Emmet needs to learn to be more careful when he is playing with you, he's much bigger." Edward brushed her hand away, huffing slightly, and turning back to the refrigerator.
"So Bella, tell me a little about yourself." I was hoping she would forget I was there, but I should of known that with my luck that would have never happened. My heart picked up it's pace and I swallowed nervously, "I have no idea where to start." Esme smiled a patient smile and sat across from me at the kitchen table, "Well, where around here do you live?" I told her all about how I lived with my father, chief Swan and she instantly knew where I lived.
She asked more about my past and what I wanted to do in the future, while the whole time listening intently. She was just as easy to talk to as Edward was, and I knew where he got that from. Edward worked around the kitchen, not saying a word to interrupt, but I knew he was hung up on every word I said. He set down a cup of coffee and a sandwich in front of his mother and she sipped at the mug, her eyes never leaving mine.
I finished with all the important details, and she made a few comments and asked a few more questions. Alice strolled into the kitchen, taking a seat at the table. "Mom, stop hogging Bella, she if she is going to be my new shopping partner, she is going to need training." I silently thanks Alice for saving me before I could embarrass myself. "What about Rosalie, she's still not coming around?" Esme seemed disappointed with the fact that Rosalie was still distant. I was relieved to know that I wasn't the main reason she was acting like this and that this was normal behaviour, I didn't feel as bad now.
"Mom, it's Rosalie, she will never come around. I'm sick of waiting, so Bella is going to be my new shopping buddy." Alice smiled at me and winked and I beamed back at her, oh how I loved Alice. "Well it's nice to see that you are converting another shopper, at least it's not me, good luck with that Bella." She got up from the table and I giggled slightly while Alice rolled her eyes, "Don't listen to her Bella, I am the best shopping partner there is."
Esme bent down to my ear on her way out of the kitchen, "She is, if you have a taste for bright pink." Esme patted my shoulder and went off to sit next to Edward on the couch. Alice talked on and on about her plans for our shopping trip today, but I was to busy tring to listen in on what Edward and his mother were talking about. Alice didn't seem to notice how distracted I was, and I just nodded my head every few minutes, honestly not hearing a word of what she was saying.
I was only able to make out bits and parts of there conversation. I heard something about 'pain', 'bruises', 'protection', and my name. I wished Alice would just talk a little lower so I could make out more, but with that thought she seemed to talk even louder. Alice blabbed on just as long as Esme and Edward did, drowning out most of the conversation so I gave up and focused on Alice.
"You are going to love it, I know the best stores with the cutest outfits. Oh Edward is going to flip when he sees what I am going to get you to wear!" The excitement in her voice was enough to scare me. I didn't have much money, just whatever I had saved for a car when I came from Arizona. Now that Charlie got me my truck, I had extra money to spend. Finally, Edward walked in from the living room, a small smile on his face. I would have to ask later what he and his mother spoke about, but now was not the time so I hushed my curiosity, for now.
"Have a nice day everyone, I'm off to work again. Alice, be easy on Bella, she's not an experienced shopper like you." With that she was gone, closing and locking the front door behind her. "Alice, do I get to come with you guys today?" Edward stood behind me, his hands resting on my shoulders. "Absolutely not, no boys aloud." Edward grumbled slightly but didn't argue more. He knew that there was no chance in winning an argument with Alice, no one could do it.
"So Bella, the sooner we leave, the sooner we can get back. Don't worry Edward, I know what you like, I will make sure that she gets everything that you will like." Alice winked at Edward and dragged me to the hallway. "Go get dressed." Edward went to follow me, but Alice held him back. "Oh no you don't. You are not going in there with her, you can't be trusted." Edward pushed her hands off of him, following me in.
"Are you sure you want to go with her?" He said as he shut the door behind him and sat on the bed. I picked my bag up off Alice's floor, pulling out my extra set of cloths that I had packed. I got dressed, not neglecting the fact that Edward's eyes were burning into my back. I ignored him, dressing anyway. "Yes, I want to go with her, I just wish you could come too." When I was fully dressed, he came up behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist and planting a soft kiss on my neck.
"I wish I could too, but I can't wait to see you in everything she makes you buy." He planted more kisses on my neck, licking it softly. "Actually, I can't wait to see you after I take them off of you, but I will see you in them before." I giggled slightly, turning to plant a soft kiss on his lips. "Be good, I promise I won't be gone for long." He smiled, kissing me again just as Alice barged in.
"Both of you out, Edward, get your hands off of her, she is mine for the day." Alice grabbed my free arm, dragging me down the hall. Edward grabbed my arm again, reaching for another kiss, making Alice huff. "Stop it, you can last a few hours without her." He let go of me, but I watched him over my shoulder, mouthing I love you as Alice dragged my unwilling body to the door. The last thing I saw of Edward was him mouthing I love you too with a small smile before Alice shut the door and we were outside.
