A/N

I received a super nasty review from a reader who might be a bit too involved with the Twilight. Please keep in mind that this is a story formed in my head and not an actual real life biography. I am not a BITCH because I choose to have Bella mess with Edwards's car, and in my story my Bella is perfect for Edward.

Moral of the story kids is that if you do not like my story, please don't read it. And for the love of our Vampires and all things Twilight, keep the snarky not so nice remarks about ME to yourself. If you choose to review the story, then review the story, not the author.

*Walks off Soap Box….then changes mind and turns around to step back on it. Oh and by the by…Happy New Year to you all. I hope that all your New Year Wishes come true, everyone's resolutions are upheld, and that you are inspired to try your hand at writing the story that is floating around in your head!

Also, I only play with the characters they are the brain children of one Ms Stephanie Meyer.

I Hear You

Chapter 38

EPOV

If I weren't immortal Rosalie and Alice would certainly be the death of me. Not only was I subjected to crappy music in Rosalie's car, but I also had to listen to their 'plan' for Bella's first high school graduation party. Bella will hate it, and neither of them cared to listen to me. I don't even know why I am here. They basically ignored me until I shut off the radio that was making my ears bleed with some crappy club mix of an awful Brittany Spears song. I swear they have no taste in music at all.

"Edward DO NOT TOUCH MY RADIO!" Rosalie spit out at him.

"Rosalie, if you continue to play crap like that in it, I guarantee it is going to break. It isn't even music, its just noise; loud obnoxious noise." I said

"Edward, I really thought that by now Bella would have pulled that pole out of your…"

"Rosalie, the party plans…." Alice interrupted before she finished that sentence.

"Fine, but for the record Edward, you are an Ass with a capitol A." Rosalie said.

"What was so important that you needed to drag me out of the house to discuss it?" I asked trying to sound not so annoyed.

They proceeded to explain in detail what they were planning for Bella's party. I tried to pay attention, but I zoned out about 10 minutes in, when Alice started talking about lining the driveway trees (all three miles of them) with lights. God, Bella was going to be cheesed. I zoned for a while thinking about Dartmouth in the fall, and going back to medical school. I am sure I would be able to transfer to the campus, due to my exceptional GPA.

My thoughts drifted to Bella. She was healing very fast. I was already missing so much of what she was thinking. It was sporadic, but increasing in frequency. Hearing her inner musings was really a window into her true personality. Bella as we see her now, is slowly coming out of her introverted shy quiet self, and emerging as a confident well balanced person. It is a pleasure watching the transition. Shocking sometimes because I don't expect it, but for the most part I am enjoying it. I know my siblings and parents are having a great time with it.

"Edward, have you heard a single thing I have said in the last ten minutes?" Alice asked me knocking on my fore head.

"Knock it off Alice." I said pushing her hand away. "No, I haven't. Not a single thing you have said really needs my opinion since you are going to do exactly what you want to do anyway. And for the record, Bella is going to hate it."

"It isn't just about Bella. It is about our FAMILY celebrating the first MILESTONE in your GIRLFRIENDS life EDWARD." Rosalie spit at me. "You yourself said that these things are a rite of passage, and you don't want her to miss anything the first time around."

"Rosalie, don't be ridiculous. This is not about Bella and what she wants. This is about you two and what YOU want. Bella couldn't care less about parties or presents. You two on the other hand, will find an excuse to celebrate anything." I snarled right back at her.

"Edward, this is the only chance we get to act human, with a human and experience things through her, don't you get it? This is our chance to remember what it is like to be normal." Rosalie said remarkably quietly. "We get a chance to live vicariously through Bella even if it is just for a little while."

I have to give her this, she is right. Damn it she is right. "I understand Rosalie. Just don't go overboard and don't tell her I know about the plans."

JPOV

Bella is devious. She really surprised me tonight with the plans she thought up for pranking Edward. Emmett, the King of Pranking was totally impressed. I don't think he could have come up with anything better. I looked up from the computer in the living room as Emmett came down stairs.

"Dude she is out like a light. Can you believe her wicked mind? How come we didn't know that she had the scheming brain she does? The things we could have done together over that last few months…" Emmett didn't even finish that sentence and it looked to me like he was mid day dream.

"Snap out of it, Emmett." I said turning back to the computer. "Ok, I ordered 5 CD singles of that Tiffany song along with roughly 6,000 blank CD's. I also ordered three software packages, so that we can use all the computers in the house to burn them onto blank CD's. Oh, and I also ordered Bella a laptop computer because her handwriting is atrocious. I will just say it is her graduation present from me and Alice. Everything will be delivered Fed Ex Express overnight and be here by 10:00am tomorrow. "

"Dude, what am I going to contribute?" Emmett asked sounding confused.

"You need to get with Rosalie and coordinate how the midi machines are going to be hooked up after you buy them. So while Alice, Edward and Bella are at school tomorrow we can be burning and replacing CD's all day. Now since she has to work at Newton's tomorrow after school, and then go to the Hospital for a follow up MRI, Edward will be occupied until that is all done." I said. "Plus, I am going to need help burning and replacing the CD's. We should be careful and label them so he can put them back later, or should we? Maybe we could 'forget' to label the cases and he will just have to spend a few days sorting them out."

"Dude, that's harsh. I love it!" Emmett laughed. "I wonder when Rosalie and Alice will bring him back."

My phone buzzed and I looked down to see a text from Alice. I opened the phone and saw the message said be back in a while, Edward is flaking out and ignoring us. Rose is going to kill him if he shuts off her radio one more time. "Edward is being difficult and I think Rose is actually going to hurt him."

"What's he doing, shutting off her radio?" Emmett joked.

"Yes sir! That is exactly what he is doing." I said laughing at his expression.

"He seriously is going to lose digits." Emmett said with a grimace. "That will learn him huh?"

I just laughed at that, and closed the laptop I was using.

EPOV

I shut the door of Rosalie's car and headed back into the house. I noticed the girls didn't follow me, and figured they were finalizing plans for Bella's party. I opened the door from the garage and headed for the stairs. All I really want is to go and get in bed with Bella. I walked right past Emmett and Jasper without even saying a word.

"Well Hello Eddie, how was the car ride?" Emmett said. "Wanna play a game? I believe that you owe me a round of Austin Power Pin Ball on the Playstation."

"What is it with you and retro kid games? No, Emmett, I just spent the better part of two hours in a car with your wife, and your wife Jasper, listening to a bunch of nonsense that I had no desire to be a part of. My time would have been better spent scrubbing toilets at a rest stop 5 miles from an interstate diner where e-coli was served as the main entrée. I am going upstairs." With that said I turned around and headed up the stairs. I heard Emmett laugh at that and just shook my head. I needed to relax.

I walked first into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Hot water would be good right now. I can warm my skin up and then snuggle with Bella under the covers. She won't get as cold as fast that way. I then walked into my room and turned the stereo on making sure the bedroom speakers were turned off. I flipped the switch for the bathroom speakers and then walked over to grab the CD I made for Bella and put it in the player. I pressed play and headed to the bathroom. I adjusted the volume so I could feel the music wash over me in the shower, and then stepped in. The music worked its' magic and I could feel the tension of the last few hours slip away down the drain.

Awhile later, I was relaxed and redressed in lounge pants and a t-shirt. I crawled under the covers and pulled Bella close. She didn't wake, but did let out a sigh and seems to move herself closer to me. I was just laying there with the warmth of Bella enveloping me, when I caught a thought from her. You aren't supposed to see me before the wedding. What? Bella was dreaming of a wedding? I settled in and tried to pull more from her brain.

Edw…id bad Luck, and failed ma..hy... ere?

What? Wedding issues?

'What the hell Emmett?'

I looked at Jasper with a pleading expression only to find him staring at me the exact same way Edward and Emmett were. 'Wha…ant I am calling Rosalie and Alice.'

'ACK! What d…ace in GREEN?!?!'

I had to sit back fast because Bella shot right up in bed screeching!

BPOV

'Edward you aren't supposed to see me before the wedding. You need to leave quick before Alice sees you' It really was like talking to a wall, because he was just staring at me like he was going daft. 'Edward! Get out; we can't start off our wedding day with Bad Karma. Out, out! I said bad luck, and failed marriages are running through my head, and it isn't making me happy. Edward, are you in there?' What is wrong with him?

'Sorry Bella, he escaped. Whoa…' Emmett barged through my door and stopped dead in his tracks staring, he was then jarred forward by Jasper bumping into his back.

'What the hell Emmett?' Jasper said straightening his tuxedo coat.

'Dude, Bella…' Emmett seemed incapable of forming a sentence.

I looked at Jasper with a pleading expression only to find him staring at me the exact same way Edward and Emmett were. 'What is wrong with you all? If you don't get out of this room this instant I am calling Rosalie and Alice.'

'Bella have you seen yourself?' Jasper asked me being the first one to actually snap out of whatever trance he was stuck in.

'Ah yeah. I have a mirror right here. Get Edward out of here.' I pleaded

'Bella, did you really look at yourself?' Jasper asked again as he made a grab for a still stunned Edward.

'What?' I am getting irritated, and that is not an emotion someone needs on their wedding day.

'Bella you're all green! Why are you all green? Even your hands are green, you look like the Wicked Witch of the West' Emmett asked.

'ACK! What do you mean I am GREEN?!?!' I turned around to face the mirror and saw exactly what they were talking about. I couldn't help it, I screamed.

BPOV

I sat right up in bed mid scream. I actually woke myself up screaming. I tried to jump out of bed, but Edward had his hands around me, and I just ended up half falling out of bed.

"Bella, are you ok? What is the matter?" Edward was half frantic with my attempts to untangle myself from the blankets.

"I have to get to the bathroom, don't look at me!" I screeched as I attempted to get up.

"Isabella, you are being absurd! Tell me what is wrong?" He demanded as e reached down from the bed and grabbed onto my arms. "Are you ok?"

We both looked towards the door as we heard pounding. Then Jaspers voice came through the door as I felt calming waves hit me. "Not only are you screeching to wake the dead, but the panic is so strong that I am about to jump off a ledge Bella! I am coming in, ya'll better be decent." Jasper yelled as he opened the door. He looked down at me and cocked an eyebrow. "You would be on the floor why?"

"Don't look at me Jasper!" I was still in panic mode.

"She was dreaming, and thought something about a wedding and green, and then sat right up and screamed. I have absolutely no idea what is wrong. She fell out of bed trying to race to the bathroom." Edward explained as he attempted to pick me up off the floor again.

I was too fast for him, and managed to squirm out of his hands and the blankets. Then I stood up and ran for the bathroom. Damn my feet, because I only made it two steps before I tripped on the blankets pooled on the floor. Jasper caught me, and thankfully placed me down away from the blankets and I rushed for the bathroom. I didn't even thank him. I slammed the door shut behind me before I turned on the light. I felt along the wall and found the switch. I closed my eyes as the light came on. I slowly opened them and looked in the mirror.

JPOV

I heard the scream, and went running. It sounded like someone was killing Bella, based on the way she was screaming. I ran out of my study and as soon as I got in the hall I felt her panic and immediately sent out calming waves. I rushed to the door and pounded on it saying "Not only are you screeching to wake the dead, but the panic is so strong that I am about to jump off a ledge Bella! I am coming in, ya'll better be decent." I yelled as I opened the door. I walked in and found Edward leaning over the bed with his hands around Bella's arms trying to help her up. Definitely not what I was expecting. I cocked an eyebrow at them and asked "You would be on the floor why?"

"Don't look at me Jasper!" Bella yelled clearly still in panic mode.

"She was dreaming, and thought something about a wedding and green, and then sat right up and screamed. I have absolutely no idea what is wrong. She fell out of bed trying to race to the bathroom." Edward said to me before I could ask for an explanation. Except it wasn't really an explanation.

He reached for her again, but she wiggled out of his reach and miraculously the blankets as well then tried to run for the bathroom. Unfortunately for her, she tripped in the mess. I grabbed her and picked her up, placing her on the floor away from the blankets pooled on the floor. She beat feet for the bathroom and slammed the door.

"Edward what is going on?" I asked.

"I don't know, she was dreaming about her wedding, I missed so much of it because she is healing so fast. I think it was our wedding, and I saw her before the vows. Then you and Emmett were there and everyone was staring. Then it went fuzzy again and she said something about being green. That's when she started to scream." Edward answered me and then brought his arm up to pinch the bridge of his nose like he does when he is upset or seeing to be stressed. I sent him some calm too.

"Don't worry no one else is around right now. Carlisle is still at the hospital and Esme went to meet him, so they can hunt when he is done with his shift; Alice took her Porsche and headed out to the 24 Hour Wal-Mart to buy a few things for Bella's party; Emmett convinced Rosalie to take a 'nature' walk with him. If you look out your window, you can see the trail of clothes. I think the theme was Hansel and Gretel, and something about leaving a trail to get home. I know, too much TMI."

We both turned at the sound of the voice in the bathroom. 'Oh thank GOD! It really was only a dream.'

"I take it it was good news?" I joked, feeling the tension slip from Edward and from Bella behind the door.

"Must be." He said looking back at me.

BPOV

I slowly opened my eyes and looked in the mirror. I was the normal color, no green to be seen. "Oh thank GOD! It really was only a dream." I just about fell to the floor with relief. What the heck was that dream all about? Why would I dream about me being the color of a witch? I am not scared of witches, they aren't real. Why did this petrify me so much then? Oh my God! Don't think, don't think, don't think.

I crawled to the door and opened it. "Jasper I need you." Don't think, don't think, don't think."Edward can you please go downstairs and get me a drink of milk? I am really thirsty" I said.

"Bella are you alright?" Edward walked to the door as he asked the question. "You scared the Hell out of us."

"I am fine now Edward, it was just a dream, a nightmare. Really I'm fine, but I need a dose of calming Jasper juice." Don't think, don't think, don't think.

"Why are you repeating 'don't think' over and over in your head?" He sounded suspicious.

"Why do you think Edward, I just had a scary dream and it made me panic. I don't want to think about it anymore. Which, is why I need the Jasper juice. Believe me, Edward, if you could sleep and dream and experience nightmares then you would get it. Do you even remember what a nightmare is?" I practically snapped at him. "Just please can I have a drink?"

He nodded to me and left the room. All this time Jasper was just standing there looking at me with a cocked eyebrow. "Really Jasper, don't look at me like that please. I can't take it."

"Darlin' care to share why you freaked out?" He asked.

"Just come in here, and let me quickly explain before he gets back." I said as he walked into the bathroom and sat down next to me. "Ok, so in a nut shell, I dreamt that my skin turned Wicked Witch green on my wedding day. It was because I have guilt about the prank I am going to pull, and I haven't even pulled it yet. I am never going to pull this off. I already feel guilty." I whispered this to him, so that Edward would not hear.

Jasper chook his head at me, and I felt the calming waves wash over me. "Bella, no guilt. Shake it off. We are all involved and you will not shoulder the guilt. Oh, and the whole covering why you were repeating 'don't think' off the cuff explanation was absolutely brilliant. I am very impressed. That said he is on his way back up here so we should redirect our thoughts ok?" Jasper whispered back.

I nodded to him and he stood up reaching for my hands.

"I hope that you are better now, and for the record Bella, I am sure that on your wedding day, you will not be Wicked Witch green, nor will you be Oscar the Grouch green or even pea green or grass green. Well, that is unless you decide to drink yourself into a stupor the night before. That always runs the risk of turning human's skin green." Jasper said with a laugh.

"Bella, you wouldn't drink yourself sick on the eve of our wedding would you?" Edward asked as he came into the room with my milk.

"No Edward, if I had the desire to drink myself sick I would have already done it by now. I certainly do not want to do it the night before our wedding." I said taking my milk from him. "Jasper was joking."

I drank the milk down in one gulp and handed it back to him. "I am going to try and go back to sleep." I turned back to the mirror once more just in case before leaving the bathroom. "Thank you Jasper. I appreciate you calming me. Edward, you too for the milk and not freaking out on me when I was a bit ummmmm …well manic."

"Edward do you want to come to my study and relax for a while? I think that Bella could use a break, and you can use a game of Chess." Jasper said to him.

"Edward, you don't need to stay. I am fine, and I am really tired."I said to him.

He turned to Jasper and said "I'll be there in a few minutes. Thank you for the invitation."

"I'll see you then, good night Bella." With that he turned and left the room.

Thank you f…ou.

"Out loud if you would Bella, you seem to be too tired to project." He said grabbing the blankets off the floor.

"I said thank you for all you do for me, I love you." I answered him with a smile. I moved to stand next to him and gave him a hug. We stood like that for a few minutes or so, and then we remade the bed together. I crawled between the sheets and got comfortable. He sat on the edge of the bed and put his hand on my cheek. "Bella, do you want to talk about the dream?"

"No, not tonight. I really am tired. Go have fun with Jasper." I yawned, and it was for real this time. I think the panic mode I was in drained me. I felt Edward lean down to kiss my head, and then I closed my eyes. I was already falling back asleep. Hopefully this time I wouldn't dream.
