Hey guys! Thanks for all the awesome reviews for the last chapter I really appreciated it and I like hearing what you guys have to say! Sorry that the chapters are so long, and I know I got a complaint about the length already but I can't really help it. I just keep typing, and typing until I can't really stop so I end up having this big huge chapter that nobody wants to read because it's like the size of Texas. Ha-ha you get the point. So I'm sorry to say that this chapter is quite lengthy as well, but I can almost promise you that they will be shorter from now on ). Hope that's okay? So keep the reviews coming and tell me what you lot think! Thanks again!

It was Bella

The gray light of a new day eventually woke me up from my deep slumber. My cheek was squished against my pillow and I yawned groggy and dazed. I was thinking to myself of how nice another hour in bed would be when a soft chuckle came from the other side of my room.

"Edward!" I sat up so fast that I got dizzy.

"It's quite funny watching humans try to fight off sleep." He said in an amused voice from the rocking chair in the corner.

I got up and flew my arms around his neck as he pulled me into his lap. "Good morning buttercup."

I laid my head against his cold shoulder mumbling a 'morning' when I felt him shake in laughter beneath me.

"Come on now Bella, we have school today! I'll be waiting for you downstairs." And he hastily kissed my forehead.

I got up off his lap and skipped to the bathroom in a happy aura, wondering what the day would bring. I glanced at myself in the mirror before turning the taps of the old shower to a perfect temperature. I quickly took off my clothes and my new necklace and jumped in, washing my hair with my favorite strawberry shampoo then washing myself thoroughly. When I was finished showering I quickly brushed my teeth and threw my wet hair up into a slick ponytail. I placed my necklace back around my neck and examined its beauty in my reflection. I turned out of the bathroom, ran back to my room and quickly picked out a simple pair of jeans and a white t-shirt to wear.

I heedlessly went down the stairs two at a time being extra careful not to trip. I got to the bottom and saw that my bowl of cereal and glass of orange juice had already been set on the table. I paused before sitting down.

"Edward?" I asked.

He came from the hallway with a smile on his face, obviously proud that he had prepared my breakfast. "Eat Bella."

I sat at the table watching as Edward pulled a chair out and sat down next to me. My hand went up to my chest and I held the beautiful necklace as it sat flatly against my chest and shone in the light. I smiled inwardly remembering the events of the night before.

Edward stared at me with a casual smile on his face. "I'm glad you like it. It took me forever to find the perfect one."

I grinned. "It's the best gift anyone's ever given me."

He smiled back and stood up, taking my empty dish to the sink. "I can do that myself you know." I said to him.

"I know, I just like doing something extra special for you everyday. Is that a problem?" he said with a smirk.

"Of course it isn't. I just feel so insignificant compared to you. I mean, you've saved my life countless numbers of times and it just seems like there's nothing I ever do to repay you." I said with a shrug.

"There's absolutely nothing more that I want in this world then you and your love and knowing that you're safe." He said as he picked me up from my place on the kitchen chair.

My arms automatically went around his neck to hold on with my legs tightly grasped around his waist and I leaned forward to catch his lips with mine kissing him smoothly. He pulled my body closer to him and deepened the kiss. I kept my hands clasped behind his neck so as to not cause any unexpected trouble to shock Edward. When he finally pulled away from me I realized I'd forgotten to breathe a few breaths and inhaled then exhaled quickly catching my breath.

He watched me until my breathing paced and picked up my backpack from the floor, grabbed my hand and led me to the door. I locked it quickly and skipped to the shiny car in the driveway hopping in the front seat.

The drive to school was equally uneventful and frightening as usual listening to the soothing classical Debussy and holding Edward's chilled hand. We finally made a sharp turn into the parking lot of the school and parked the car in its usual spot. I got my stuff and met Edward at the front of the car where he held his hand out for me to take.

"Do you want to make a trip out to Port Angeles with me and Alice tonight Bella?" Edward asked on our way to my Spanish class.

I thought about the gift card and money on the desk in my room. "On one condition," I said with a smirk on my lips.

"Err, what might that be?" he asked curiously.

"You let me and Alice dress you up in whatever we want." I said now fully smiling.

I swear I could hear the groan in his head. "Remember the last time that happened? I ended up in a pink dress shirt and purple socks. And that was it!"

I laughed out loud at the memorable thought of the summer day when Alice and I had taken Edward on a little outing to Seattle. He'd promised we could dress him up and we decided to have a little fun with it. I looked at Edward's now smiling face and he reached out to poke my sides.

I shrieked loudly as he kept tickling me and I couldn't get away. Stupid inhuman strength.

"Hey, what are you doing to my favorite brown haired beauty?"

I turned around and saw Emmett walking towards us with Jasper.

"A little help please." I gasped as Edward hadn't ceased on tickling my sides.

Emmett laughed and turned to Jasper, "Should we help her?"

"Nah," Jasper said and they came forward and started tickling my sides also.

When I felt I was almost going to pee my pants I gave a loud shout and leaned against the wall supporting my laughing body. The three vampires stood back watching my giggle fit with amused looks in their eyes.

"That so wasn't funny guys," I said while still laughing.

"Then why are you laughing? Huh, huh!" Emmett said teasing me.

I'd finished laughing and pulled myself together in time to see Rosalie turn around the corner. As the bell was going to ring any second anyways I made a quick get away. I kissed Edward, said bye to the boys and made my way into the Spanish classroom. Right as I took my seat beside Eric the bell rang to signal the start of classes.

Listening to Ms. Gonzalez for an hour rambling on in Spanish wasn't exactly the perfect way to spend your morning. I tuned her out and lay with my head on the desk until the bell rang for the end of classes. I jumped up as soon as the bell rang and met Eric at the door as we walked to meet Edward in the math building.

"How was your birthday Bella?" he asked politely as we walked side by side.

"Oh, it was alright. You know…the usual." I said with a smile.

We'd reached the math building and Eric shyly waved a goodbye as Edward scooped me up into a bone crushing hug.

"Math is so utterly boring, I missed you!" he said happily into my ear.

"It's only been an hour, there's no way you could have missed me." I said playfully back although he knew I missed him too.

We quickly made our way to the English classroom before the bell would ring and sat in our normal seats beside each other. The whole class we snuck glances at each other smiling and raising our eyebrows. Finally, the class had ended and we picked up our stuff and made our way outside.

The day passed by very slowly and I couldn't wait for it to be over. When the bell finally rang to signal the end of the day I almost jumped into the air in joy but stopped before I did something stupid. I picked up my history book and met Edward at the door.

"Excited for our shopping spree?" I asked him with a smile playing across my lips.

He took my hand and pulled me along to his car, "Let's get going!"

I got in the car and buckled up. "I have to stop in at my house first, leave a note for Charlie and stuff."

"I'd figured as much. I told Alice to meet us there in ten minutes."

We pulled out of the school parking lot and sped down the highway at his usual 105 km/h.

"Have you thought about anything you want to buy yet?" he asked making simple conversation like usual.

"Hm, I was thinking of a new book but then I remembered the collection you seem to have for me in your bedroom. Maybe some new clothes or something, I'm sure Alice would gladly help."

He smiled when I mentioned the present he'd gotten me and squeezed my hand. "Do you want to come over later? Read to me perhaps?" he asked with a breathtaking look in his topaz eyes.

"Sure, I'll just call Charlie on our way home to let him know."

By that time we had pulled into my driveway to see Alice standing by the garage waving at us with a smile on her face.

"I'll just be a sec," I said to Edward and exited the car.

"I can't wait to pick out all new clothes for you!" Alice said enthusiastically as she passed me, making her way to Edward's car.

I smiled and rolled my eyes in response as I pushed open my front door. I quickly made my way upstairs and grabbed a light jacket, incase it got cold later and stumbled down the stairs back into the kitchen. I pulled open the brown drawer searching frantically for a pen and piece of paper not wanting to keep Alice and Edward waiting any longer. After finding both, I scrawled a sloppy message for Charlie telling him where I was and that I would call later. I then grabbed a bright red apple out of the basket on the table and stomped out the door and back to the car. I was glad to see that Alice had taken a place in the back seat allowing me to sit next to Edward on our drive.

I jumped into the car, Edward's dazzling eyes fell on me. "I'm glad you got something to eat, I almost forget you're human."

"That's saying something considering you want her blood so badly." Alice said simply from the backseat of the car.

He quickly shot a glance at her. "Oh be quiet Alice, or would you rather be running alongside us?"

She smiled simply and squeezed Edward's cheeks. "You know I'm just playing with you dear brother."

I laughed at their playful brother-sister behavior. It was amazing the way they acted sometimes. Almost human as if they were human. Edward was now pulling out of the driveway and turned down the highway towards our destination. I could hear the faint hum of the music playing in the background, not really paying attention.

"I'm so excited!" Alice exclaimed anxiously, "Aren't you Bella?" she finished looked to me excitedly.

"Yeah, I suppose." I said.

"Aw come on! I know you don't like shopping but just think, we get to dress Edward up again!" she said and we both broke out huge grins.

Edward's eyes snapped to mine and I could see a grin playing across his lips. I stuck my tongue out at him playfully and he let out a laugh and brushed my hair out of the way.

"Edward you drive so freaking slow!" Alice groaned from the backseat, halfway to our destination.

"Would you rather Bella drive? I'm sure you'd like that much better." Edward said laughing at my driving pace.

"In that case, just keep going." She replied and I playfully reached back to hit her arm.

"It's not my fault you guys are all obsessed with speed and nice cars!" I said in defense, "I'm sure if I had a nice car I'd drive it fast too." Although I knew that wasn't true.

"What's wrong with slow anyways? It's not like you guys don't have all the time in the world." I stated knowingly.

They both laughed and I joined in, knowing that no matter how much time you gave them they'd still rather drive at a tremendous speed. I could tell by the shift in Edward's driving that we were nearing Port Angeles, but I didn't dare look out the window for fear of how fast we were driving. When he made a sharp turn, tires squealing and we abruptly came to a stop I finally looked out the window to see we were parked outside of Alice's favorite department store.

"Come on!" she said, being sure to emphasize how badly she wanted to get in. "If you were a vampire we'd be in there already!"

I smirked knowingly until I turned to Edward and saw the dirty cast he was giving her. He turned his attention to the door handle and was opening my door before I even noticed he was gone.

"Thanks," I said smiling as I took his frigid hand and pulled him along into the department store.

"Alice better not be expecting to stay here for very long. I get kind of nervous when every girl turns to stare at me." He said flashing the nearest lady a seductive smile.

"Oh I'm sure," I said rolling my eyes. "Don't even act like you don't enjoy every minute of it."

He squeezed my hand. "I guess it's good I only have eyes for you then, isn't it?"

"Sure is," I said and I tilted my head back for him to brush a quick kiss on my lips.

"Oh my god!" we both heard from the direction to our right. "You i have /i to try this on!" Alice squealed from a sale rack.

I walked over to her to see an excruciatingly grotesque, lime green pair of slacks with a matching bright pink shirt.

"You must be crazy to think I'd ever wear that in public Alice." I said making a funny face at the clothing.

"I wasn't talking about you," she said knowingly, "I meant him!"

She'd pointed to Edward and I burst out laughing at the dismayed look on his face. And after endless pouts and talks of persuasion, we were standing outside of the men's change room awaiting prince charming.

"You guys must be absolutely crazy if you think I'm coming out in this. I look simply ridiculous!" he said from behind the hard wood.

"Come on baby, show us what you got." I said playfully.

I heard him chuckle from behind the door and it creaked quietly as he began pulling it open. When he walked out from behind the door my jaw dropped. I then looked to Alice and we both starting laughing as hard as our bodies would let us, and continued until there were tears in my eyes, and I'm sure if Alice was human there would have been in hers too. Edward had turned right around as soon as we got a glimpse of him and started mumbling words under his breath, although Alice probably heard them.

When Edward had changed back into his normal clothes and Alice and I had ceased our laughing we continued our way back through the store, picking up things randomly to try on.

Before I had even noticed he was gone, Edward was walking towards me with something in his hand. "Why don't you try this on Bella?" he said with a wink.

I looked to see what he was holding up to notice that it was a frilly lace bra with a matching thong. Attached to the plastic hanger was a pair of frilly handcuffs. Alice turned to look at what he had and laughed whole-heartedly.

"The day I see Bella in that is the day she becomes a vampire." She said making two almost impossible comparisons.

I smiled at her words and took it out of Edward's hands placing it on a shelf. "The day I wear that, is the day an immortal vampire just drops dead."

An old lady a few racks down from us turned and gave me a startling look and I couldn't help but laugh at our joke that no one would understand.

After trying on countless numbers of shoes, almost every dress in the store, and testing the lip gloss stand we finally walked up to the front counter with a pile of items in each of our hands. I knew this would take a while with all the things we bought so I turned to Edward and told him he could wait in the car. When I made sure he was out of sight I turned to Alice.

"I'll be back in a sec!" I said quickly.

I nearly ran through the store looking for the place I had dropped off that lacey piece of cloth that passed as a bra and the furry handcuffs. When I finally spotted them I started laughing as I picked them up and made my way back to the counter. When I reached it, out of breath, I placed it on the very top of all the other things me and Alice we purchasing.

Alice had seen when I'd gotten and cocked an eyebrow at me. "And what exactly is that for?"

I laughed at her facial expression. "You never know when it might come in handy." And we laughed at my spirit.

After paying for our things we made our way out front to meet Edward. After placing my bags in the truck I sat down in the passenger seat and we took off to another store. After entering countless numbers of stores, trying on infinite amounts of clothes, and reading the summary of stacks of books we were finally ready to make our way back home. Alice and I walked at a slow human pace back to the car that was waiting on the opposite side of street. When we'd finally reached the car I placed my bags in the back with Alice and my stomach gave a low growl.

"Time to feed the human." Edward said looking at me in his rearview mirror, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"What would you like honey?" he asked as I sat in the car and buckled up.

"Hm," I pondered, deep in thought, "Burgers and fries."

"Perfect," Edward said as he seen a huge yellow M up ahead.

He turned into the McDonalds parking lot and quickly zoomed through the drive-thru ordering me my food. As we waited for my food to come I turned around to Alice.

"Can I borrow your cell phone for a minute?" I needed to call Charlie.

She handed me the silver flip phone and I opened it and pressed my number on the keypad. After three rings Charlie picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey dad," I spoke into the phone.

"Hey Bells, where are ya?" he asked curiously.

"We're just stopping in to get something to eat then we're on our way back to Forks. Do you mind if I go to Edward's for a while dad? You know, just hang out and stuff."

"Sure honey, just be home by 10:30 okay?"

"Yup, sure thing dad." I responded.

"Okay, have a good time."

"I will."

"Bye Bella," and the phone clicked in my ear.

I turned to Edward as he was handing me the paper bag with my food. I hastily opened it and realized just how hungry I was. I began to get nervous, being the only one eating.

"Anyone want some?" I asked uneasily, even though I knew their answer.

"Just eat Bella." was Edward's simple reply.

I couldn't help but feel awkward as I ate although I should be used to it by now. When I finished I crumpled up my garbage and threw it in the plastic bag on the floor. I sat facing Edward, not daring to look out the window.

"Edward?"

"Yes love?" he replied.

"You looked absolutely smashing today in that outfit." I said with a smile on my face.

"If you would have tried on those handcuffs, I'd be able to say the same about you." He said with a wink, and Alice laughed.

I hit his arm lightheartedly and intertwined my fingers with his. Alice gave a raspy sigh.

"Something wrong Alice?" I asked her with concern.

"I feel bad for leaving Jasper at home."

"Don't worry Alice. I'm sure he'll forgive you in the centuries to come." I said to her smiling reassuringly.

"Oh shut up Bella," she said playfully.

I smiled at the fact that I had cheered her up and turned up the music to a volume in which humans could hear. I recognized the song and immediately began singing along. After singing the chorus thoroughly by myself Alice and Edward joined in and we drove the rest of our trip laughing and singing at the top of our lungs.

We'd pulled onto the rough dirt road that led to the Cullen's big white house. Edward sped towards it at full speed like he usually did and instantly stopped in his usual spot beside the garden shed. I unfastened my seatbelt and hopped out of the car.

"Need help with your bags Alice?" I asked.

"No thanks Bella, I got it." She said with a wink.

I walked to the door with Edward by my side and he pushed the front door open. He immediately picked me up and I grasped his neck tightly as he sped his way up the stairs into his bedroom. When he'd finally put me down I opened my eyes just in time to see Edward pouncing, ready to jump at me. I gave a quick shriek and tried to run but he caught up and gently tackled me onto the black leather couch continually keeping his pressure against me at one point as to not hurt me.

"Ed-ward!" I said emphasizing the two syllables while laughing.

"Bell-a!" he said imitating me.

I instantly laughed. "I love you."

"I love you too," and he pressed his soft lips to my forehead. "Today wasn't so bad hey Bella?"

I shifted on the couch leaning into the crook in Edward's with my leg across his lap. "I enjoy spending time with you and Alice," I told him honestly.

"Well then, I guess it's just your luck that we absolutely love you to death."

"Except you're already dead," I said knowingly.

He laughed at my response and placed his chin on my head. "Just your luck."

I twisted my face. "Why do you say that?"

"That way I can love you forever," he said resting his cheek on top on my head and giving a heavy sigh.

I can't say the same for you. Not wanting to fight with him about changing me, I resided to giving a deep sigh and a quick 'hm.' After a few moments of silence I felt Edward's body shift to look at me.

"What are you thinking Bella?"

"Trust me, you don't want to know." I said matter-of-factly.

"Oh really?" he said.

"Yep, unless you're planning on changing me anytime soon…" I said trailing off.

"Nice try Bella."

I stayed silent and just rested in his arms for a few more minutes. I was deep in thought about him changing me when I suddenly felt the urge to go and ask Alice again i exactly /i what she had seen in all those visions where I had been a vampire.

"I'll be back in a minute," I said to Edward and caught his lips with mine.

"Where are you going?" he asked confused.

"I just have to ask Alice something about what we bought today." I said making up an excuse.

"I guess I'll wait for you here then, hurry up." He said with a teasing wink.

I smiled while rolling my eyes and made my way out of the room, careful to close the door behind me. I walked down the hallway, past Rosalie and Emmett's room, past the guest bedroom, then turned to Alice and Jaspers door. Not sure if I was welcome, I knocked on the door lightly but didn't get an answer.

"Alice?" I said quietly.

I could hear slight murmuring inside the room so I decided to look inside. I pushed the door open slightly and caught the sight of Alice sitting on the bed looking straight ahead intently, whispering to herself. She was having a vision.

"Oh Alice," I said worriedly rushing towards her. I'd never been alone with her when this happened. So I did the only thing I could think of.

"JASSSSSPERRR!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, although if I talked normally I'm sure he would have heard.

I heard the rustle of his speedy legs running down the hallway and he pushed his door open. "What is it?" he asked hurriedly.

He quickly looked at Alice and knew exactly what to do. He dug in the drawer in the bedside table and took out a pen and a pad of paper and held it out to her. I should have known to do that. I watched as Alice's hand scribbled across the paper drawing things she could see in her mind.

"Go get Edward, Bella." Jasper said sternly.

I did exactly as I was told and ran as fast as my clumsy legs would take me and opened Edward's door. "EDWARD!" I shouted when I couldn't see him on the couch.

"Jeez Bella, do you really have to keep shouting everyone's names? We are quite good at hearing you know." He laughed, but stopped when he saw the look on my face. "What's wrong?"

"Alice is having a vision. It's not like the other times Edward! Jasper looked worried."

Edward quickly ran to me, scooped me up and ran with me down the hall to Alice and Jaspers room. When we pushed the door open we were greeted with the sight of Jasper sitting on the sofa with Alice in his arms. If she could cry, I knew she'd be doing so. She looked so upset…unlike the Alice I knew. Carlisle and Esme were also in the room keeping their distance as Alice calmed herself down.

"Shh," Jasper hushed soothingly, "What did you see Alice?"

"I-I saw," she stuttered, "you."

I looked shocked as she was looking directly into my eyes. So she saw me. Big deal. Alice always saw me in her visions.

"I saw a boy, in the woods. And Bella was there." She continued.

"What else?" Carlisle asked eagerly.

I looked over to Edward to see his face scrunched up in confusion and I could tell he was trying to make out Alice's vision, or rather trying to break into her mind to see it.

"Someone tells," she said shaken.

"You mean they tell of our secret?" Esme asked uncertain.

Alice nodded sadly. I looked between everyone talking utterly confused at what I had to do with any of this. I walked over to Edward and leaned against his chest and he put his arms around me.

"Well," Carlisle said impatiently, "Who was it?"

Before Alice could answer I felt Edward's body stiffen behind me and he loosened his grip around my body. I turned around and looked into his face to see a shocked look wiped across it. He kept looking from between me, Alice, Esme and Carlisle. He looked to Alice again and when she gave him a simple nod turned to back to Carlisle.

"It was Bella."

A/N: okay I know the biggest chapter ever! And it sucked! I'm really trying to make these good though and I really enjoy writing it. Just bear with me and the issue of the lengthy chapters for a little while longer and they will be gone! And I'll have normal sized chapters rather then big huge ones that go on and on and bore people to death). Oh yeah and if you notice that between some words theres a i> or /i> it's because I'm used to posting stories on hpff so when I mean to underline and such I put the code I just do it out of habit now. So if you can just figure what I was trying to do it might make a bit more sense and I might not look like a complete idiot. )
