Okie dokie. Next chapter. I don't really have anything to say right now because well, I don't even know what this chapters going to be about yet, so there may be some surprises. READ ON! P.S. I only called this chapter Atlanta for lack of a better title.

Atlanta

I had no idea what city we were in, but it was beautiful. I sat in the passenger seat of Edward's Volvo with my bandaged hand on his lap watching the many buildings and cars zoom past us. I'd never been to Georgia before and it was definitely nothing like Forks, although I could easily compare it to Phoenix. We'd been driving for about ten minutes already listening to the fuzzy radio playing popular dance music.

"It's really nice here," I stated blandly as I stared out the window at a huge business like building.

Edward smiled and looked towards me. "Way better then Forks, huh?"

"I don't know, Fork's is starting to grow on me."

"Is that so?" He smirked as he shot a glance at me again, knowing to keep an eye on the road before I yelled at him for not paying attention.

"Very much so," I said while nodding my head.

"Now, I wonder why that could be. Maybe it's that handsome young man you're always with." He was smiling.

"No, Emmett's already married." I turned and looked out my window smiling but I felt him turn to me.

"I was talking about me!" He said defensively as he put his fingers to my sides, tickling me.

"Edward," I couldn't stop laughing, "Edward! Stop!"

I couldn't try to push him off for fear of hurting my hands so I sat there while he tickled me unable to stop my laughing. "EDWARD!" I tried again but he wouldn't stop, so I did the only thing I could think of, I stopped laughing and put on a serious face, "OUCH! Edward, I said STOP!"

His face immediately went serious and he looked at me worried as I cradled my one arm. When his eyes looked into mine though and he saw the slight smile on my face he physically relaxed.

"Bella don't do that!"

"How else do you expect me to make you stop?" I said still smiling.

"I thought I actually hurt you."

"That was the point." I said matter-of-factly, "And besides, you're way too careful to hurt me."

He nodded his head. "You have a point."

He turned to me and smiled then rested his hand on my face and trailed it down to my leg where it stayed for the rest of our drive. After a few more minutes of silence we pulled into a parking lot of a strip mall with only a few shops. He parked in a parking space and got out of the car and came around to open my side. I helped me out of the car and led me towards a small diner that I hadn't noticed as we pulled in.

When we entered the diner and bell chimed above our heads to let our presence be known. The smell of burgers and grease immediately filled my nostrils and Edward led me to an open booth by the window. We sat down and almost immediately a young girl of about sixteen strode over to our table with menus. Edwards eyes never left mine as she took my order reminding me of the night we had first went out in Port Angeles.

"So," he started when the girl walked away, "How do you like Georgia?"

"I think it's really nice, reminds me of Phoenix." I had my arms on the table and was leaning back into the seat looking up at Edward as he had his arms on the table in front of him also, leaning forward over it.

"Where exactly are we though?"

Edward chuckled. "Did you even look at the name of the diner?"

I shook my head and he pushed a napkin towards me from the side of the table. I picked it up and looked at the green and yellow logos. 'Atlanta's'. So we were in Atlanta.

"Atlanta? Awesome."

The young waitress came back to our table and was holding my fries and coke steady on a platter. "Here ya go."

She placed the food in front of me and I began nibbling on my fries and taking a sip of coke every so often. Edward sat in the same position the whole time I ate and only his chest moved showing he was still breathing. When my plate was empty I pushed it away from me and once again leaned back in the booth with my hand over my stomach.

I looked up to Edward again and he was still watching me as he had been the whole time. He stared at me hard for a few more seconds before opening his mouth to talk.

"I was talking to Rosalie this morning."

I nodded. "And?"

"She said she was really sorry about everything that happened yesterday. She should have been able to stand it but she hadn't been hunting in a while."

I nodded again. I'd noticed how dark her eyes had been. "How's Emmett?"

"He's pretty good, considering the facts."

I nodded, even though I had no idea what 'facts' he was talking about but I didn't want to press it. He pulled his silver phone out of his back pocket and looked at the time.

"We'd better get going, their plane lands in 20 minutes." He stood beside the table and placed enough money on it for my food. He stayed standing next to it until I got up and he walked behind me as I went back out into the chilly September air.

When we were walking back to the car I was thinking about something and turned around to face Edward. "Edward, what's the date?"

"It's the seventeenth, why?"

"I don't know, it just seems like I've been gone from home longer then that." And it had. I'd only been gone for three nights but so much has happened it seemed like an eternity.

I turned back around and walked towards the car again. Edward pushed the unlock button on his key chain and I opened the door and sat down. Once inside I scooted as close to Edward as I could while still being fastened in my seatbelt. He put his arm around the top of my seat and let his fingers play across the back of my neck. We were now on the road again, driving through the traffic making our way to the airport. After driving for several minutes I looked at the luminous time on the CD player and saw that it was 5:51.

"When does their plane land?" I asked curiously.

He looked to the clock just as I had and turned with a smile. "One minute ago."

I smiled back. "Well how far is the airport from here?"

"Just down the highway a bit further, we're almost there."

Sure enough as we were getting closer we saw airplanes landing and taking off. When we got closer and pulled into the airport's drive I suddenly noticed how excited I was. I really missed Alice and Jazz. I sat up straighter in my seat and began fidgeting as my anticipation grew. Edward finally found a parking space after several minutes on the third floor.

"Excited?" Edward grinned at me.

"I miss them! What do you expect? They're practically family," and I winked at him as I pushed the car door open.

I stepped out into the parkade and slammed my door shut behind me listening to it's echo. Before I even heard Edward's door shut I felt his arm snake around my waist and his lips touch the top of my head.

"I love you."

My heart fluttered as I heard this as it always did and a huge smile spread across my face. "I love you too."

After bumping into many people trying to find our way around Edward decided to walk behind me with his arms around my waist guiding me in the right direction. And I must say, people moved out of the way then. We were now standing again a railing outside of gate 3 waiting for Alice and Jasper. Edward's arms were around me protectively as I tapped my foot up and down impatiently waiting.

Edward bent down to my neck and kissed it softly then lifted his mouth to my ear. "They're coming."

And sure enough not even ten seconds later an excited look Alice came through the sliding doors pulling Jasper who had been carrying all of the bags.

"Come ON Jasper," I heard Alice say, "We haven't got all day."

Even from a distance I could hear Jasper muttering something about carrying luggage. I stood quietly in Edward's arms for a few more seconds watching Alice look around frantically for us. When she still didn't notice us I laughed quietly but I knew she heard. Her eyes immediately shot up to mind and widened with a look of happiness and excitement.

"Bella!" Alice came running around the chairs and people towards me at an amusingly human speed.

I broke out of Edward's embrace and began walking really quickly towards Alice. When I finally got to her she hugged me tightly and picked me up receiving many looks from people around us. I had my arms wound around her neck to make sure she didn't crush them but I still tried to hold her tight.

"I missed you so much," she breathed in my ear, "Oh my God Bella, I've been so worried about you!"

She finally pulled back from me and held me out to look at me with a smile still on her face. She looked me up and down and I knew she was looking for scrapes and bruises. "So it's only the arms then?"

I nodded and she pulled me into another gentle hug. She pulled back and placed a kiss on my cheek. "Come on, let's go."

She linked her arm around my upper arm and I led her towards where Edward and Jasper were now standing each carrying two bags. I guessed that two of them must have been Alice's. When we approached them Jasper gave me a huge smile.

"It's so good to see you Bella," and he leaned towards me so I moved forward to place a kiss on his cheek.

"You guys have no idea how much I missed you."

They both smiled at me and Edward placed his hand on the small of my back.

"Shall we?" He said to Jasper and with his nod we made our way up the escalators back to the parkade.

We got up to the third floor Edward turned around to Alice and I. "Here, you guys take the ticket and pay while me and Jasper load the car up."

He handed the ticket stub to Alice and we walked over to the tiny machines against the glass window. She still had her arm linked with mine so we were both standing side by side. I watched her as she pushed buttons and finally swept her credit card then we pulled away, going to the garage.

"Where are you guys staying?" Alice asked as we walked into the chilly air and I led her to where the car was parked.

"I don't know what it's called, some little motel just down the highway about 25 minutes."

She twisted her lips and nodded. "We definitely are staying somewhere better than that tonight."

I laughed as she smiled and led her the rest of the way to the car. When we made it to the car Edward and Jasper were already sitting inside in the front seats so me and Alice happily jumped in the back. As soon as we closed the doors Edward pulled out of the parking space and we made our way onto the highway. When we'd been driving on the highway for not even a minute Alice pulled herself forward and looked back at me with a smile.

She leaned against Jaspers ear. "Jazzy..." she trailed off waiting for him to answer.

Jasper leaned into her face with the headrest of the car getting in the way. "Hmm?"

I noticed his eyes were closed as she whispered to him. "We're going to stay in that really expensive hotel on Marilyn Dr okay?"

I noticed him nod slightly and she smiled, obviously pleased.

"We are not staying there. The motel me and Bella have now is perfectly fine."

It was time for me to work my magic. I leaned forward to Edward just as Alice had done to Jasper. I knew Edward wouldn't be able to say no to me. I had my face to the side of him and spoke in a calm voice.

"Come on Edward," I was sure to breath heavily on him to make sure he got a good intake of my scent, "Think of how perfect it would be."

He took a minute to answer so I knew he was thinking it over. "But Bella..."

"Please Edward?"

He took in a deep breath and I knew I had won. He sighed deeply. "Maybe just for one night."

I kept my self from giving a 'yes' and sank back into my seat smiling at Alice as she did the same.

"You guys really need to stop doing that to us." Jasper said as he sighed and half turned to be able to look at Edward and us at the same time.

"Yeah, we can never say no to you guys." Edward agreed.

"That's the point silly," I said while looking back and forth from Jasper and Edward's eyes in the rear view mirror.

"It's not very fair." Jasper said with a pretend pout on his face.

"Oh poor baby, come here." Alice said in a teasing voice.

Jasper leaned closer to Alice as she had said to and when she reached up to kiss his lips she swatted him on the head with her hand.

"Hey!" Jasper whined, "What was that for?"

"That's me expressing my love for you sweetie."

"Well in that case," Jasper reached behind him and tugged on Alice's hair.

"Hey!" Alice said in mock anger.

"That means I love you too." Jasper snickered as he looked to me and I laughed.

Then I felt a shoe hit me. Alice had kicked me. Although I'm sure it was light for her I still felt it.

"Alice!" I said looking at her disbelievingly as her and Jasper laughed to each other.

Edward laughed but then picked up for me. "Don't hurt Bella, or else I'm gonna have to―" plop.

I hit Edward lightly with a water bottle I found in the back seat that I'd left here sometime last week. He looked at me through the mirror with stern eyes but then I laughed. We all then broke out laughing as we looked at each others faces. When I'd finally wiped the last tear of laughter falling down my face I saw we were pulling into the motel parking lot where Edward and I had stayed. We parked in the same spot as the car had been in the morning and told Jasper and Alice we'd be right back. Edward opened to door and we zoomed in packing our stuff quickly. Edward went into the bathroom to collect some things and I bent down to pick up my shirt that was on the bed that Edward had taken off of me earlier and I blushed as I remembered when he'd pulled it off that morning.

"Bella," I heard Edwards echoed voice from the bathroom, "What could possibly be making you blush?"

I laughed as Edward came out the door while I was shoving the shirt into my bag. I gave it a final zip and turned around to go back into the car but Edward was standing in front of me smiling. I gave a small smile back and he came forward and captured my lips with his, caressing the side of my face with his thumb. He pressed against my lips hard then pulled bad still smiling.

"Lets go."

He took my bag from me and we walked out of the room to our side of the car. Only when Edward went to get in the drivers seat, someone was already there.

"I hope you don't mind me driving Eddy," Alice smiled through the open window at him.

"Actually, I do mind." He made to open the car door but Alice suddenly backed the car up.

"Puh-lease Edward. You never let me drive." Alice pouted and gave him a sad look, although I knew quite well she was putting on an act.

"Just let her drive Edward," I said smiling as I took his hand and pulled him into the back seat next to me.

"Alice you better be careful," he warned as he settled comfortably into the back beside me.

"I thought I might back into a tree, then maybe spin off into a ditch."

Edward glared at her as she shook her head and laughed then roared up the engine. I then just remembered how much I hated Alice's driving, but it was too late because we were already zooming down the highway.

We were all just sitting in silence feeling the wind whip into the car against our skin from the open windows. I started to get a bit chilly and Edward pulled me towards him as he noticed. He twisted sideways and I leaned back into him under his arm that he had around me. I closed my eyes for what seemed like only a few seconds but was then suddenly jerked awake as my body shifted. Alice had stopped the car and when I opened my eyes I was almost blinded. We were outside of a huge hotel with bright lights lighting up almost half the street. Alice was the first to hop out of the car and I noticed she left her door open. I got out as well and she handed her key to the valet waiting by the door. She whispered something to him that I couldn't hear but I noticed she handed him a bill out of her jeans pocket. A bellhop then came to the open trunk and loaded all of our stuff onto a trolley. Edward came up behind me and kept a steadying arm around my shoulders as I was very poorly coordinated due to just waking up.

"It's nice isn't it?" Edward said to me as my eyes widened at the huge fountain in the middle of the hallway that we walked into.

I couldn't even remember a time that I'd been in a place so grand. The floors were made of a tan marble and shined so nicely that I could probably see my reflection. Left and right there were small tables and couches along with many flowers and sculptures. I didn't even look where Edward was leading my but I found myself in front of a glass desk next to Alice.

"Welcome to Four Seasons, name please?" The lady behind the counter gave a small smile and waited for Alice to give her name while looking into a blue book.

"We're Dr. Carlisle Cullen's children, we need two one-bedroom suites immediately please." Alice smiled a warm smile at the lady and she smiled back looking down into her blue book.

"Ah, yes Dr. Cullen. Shall I charge it to the usual card then?"

"That would be great, thanks." Alice still kept up her smiling as the lady pulled out a sheet of paper.

"Sign here please, and I'll need to see some I.D."

Alice quickly scribbled on the sheet of paper and held her driver's license out to the lady.

"Great thank-you," the lady said as she handed Alice two sets of keys, "That will be rooms 1506 and 1507, enjoy your stay here at Four Seasons."

She gave a fake smile and Alice smiled back. As soon as she had her back towards the lady she rolled her eyes dramatically. I laughed at her and she smiled and took my arm.

"This hotel is amazing Bella, you'll love it."

"I love it already." I said in an awed voice as we came to the elevator and a guy pressed the button for us.

We waited a minute for the elevator to come down and the shiny gold doors opened and we stepped inside. Another man was inside next to the buttons.

"Floor, please?" he said in funny accent.

"Fifteen."

He pressed the number and the elevator slowly made its way up. When a bell dinged to sign we were at our floor Alice handed a ten over to the guy. He looked pleased and tipped his hat as we filed out of the elevator.

"1506," Alice was mumbling as she turned her head from side to side, "This way!"

She turned to the right and we all followed. As we walked down the hallway a young guy passed us and I noticed his eyes linger on me for a little too long. It creeped me out. Edward's head snapped back as the guy passed us and I heard a low growl from inside his throat.

"Relax." I whispered as I slid my hand into his.

"You do not want to know what he was just thinking," he said angrily.

I smiled weakly and just continued to follow Alice as she walked further down the hallway. She stopped abruptly and turned to the door labeled 1506 in gold numbers. She turned to Edward and I and handed us the other set of keys and she turned back to her own door and opened it disappearing with Jasper inside.

"She said they'll catch up with us later," Edward informed me as he turned to our door across the hall.

I unintentionally held my breath as Edward turned the knob and pushed the door open. What I saw was probably the most beautiful room I had ever seen. There was a tan leather couch on the wall across from me with a huge T.V set in front of it. To my left was a small kitchen with a four chair dining set along with fresh flowers in the center. To my right was a small table and chair set that looked to be for more casual purposes. The walls were all painted a deep red color and more of the materials were a dark gold.

Edward smiled at my reaction and pulled me towards the left of the room. We walked to one door and he flicked on a light as I looked inside. I saw that it had a huge vanity table along with closets, shelves and more of those casual chair sets. I stepped into the room and gave it a quick inspection before turning again back into the main room. Edward pulled along to the next door and led me inside. He turned on the light and the first thing my eyes landed on was the jacuzzi tub in the far right corner. Beside it there was a bamboo changing stand and a rack of gold colored towels. To the left was a king sized bed with more than enough pillows and a huge fluffy duvet. On the right, facing the bed was an armoire which contained a large T.V and a small stereo. Another table set was set beside it along with a mini fridge. Looking to the left again I saw a small bar along the wall I was standing at.

We walked further into the room and stopped outside the last door. We opened it wide and looked in at the bathroom. It was decorated in black and white with two sinks directly ahead of us. To the left was a white toilet and a black cupboard with countless amounts of products inside and on top. To the right was a huge bathtub (almost the size of the bed) and had a rack of white towels next to it. In the far corner next to the sinks was a huge shower with glass doors surrounding it. There were also countless amounts of plants, flowers and paintings throughout the whole suite and it was absolutely amazing. And I'll admit it, I felt sort of rich.

Edward held his hand out to me and I took it again as he led me back into the bedroom. He walked straight over to the huge bed where he picked me up and plopped us both down into the mountain of countless amounts of pillows.

"What do you think?" He asked snuggling close to me.

"It's incredible." I replied, still almost breathless. "I don't even want to know how much it cost."

"Bella, money is not a matter for us," he said into my neck, "We have more then enough of it."

He pulled closer into me and began breathing in my scent in heavy breaths. He trailed tiny kisses down my neck to my collarbone then back again and gave a dreamy sigh. My eyes were closed as I lay there enjoying every minute of Edward's body touching mine. When I felt his mouth leave my neck I gave a small moan, not wanting him to stop.

"The bellhops outside the door."

There was a light knock on the main door outside of the bedroom. Edward got out of the bed and shot towards it as I pulled myself up against all the pillows in the big bed. Through the bedroom door I saw Edward pull over the door and a tall man with a red and gold uniform stood in the doorway.

"Mr and Mrs Edward Cullen?"

I smiled and blushed at the mans mistake but I liked the sound of it. Edward turned towards me from the door and smiled at me as he moved aside to allow the man entry to our room. The man walked in trailing our bags behind him and placed them on the floor outside the bedroom. He tipped his hat at both Edward and I then walked out of the room with a crisp ten dollar bill in his hand from Edward. Almost right when I heard the door close Edward was next to me again on the bed.

"So, did you bring your bathing suit?" I looked at Edward with my eyebrows raised then looked to the jacuzzi in the corner. I saw the amused look in his eyes as a smile played across his lips.

"Well, I didn't expect I'd be staying in a quadrillion dollar hotel room tonight, so no."

He laughed and shook his head. "Well I guess we'll have to get you one."

Before I could even protest his mouth came to mine stopping my word's as if he knew what I was going to say. We sat for a few minutes attached at the lips with my heart fluttering in it's usual way when a voice came from the bedroom door.

"Get a room!" Alice walked into our bedroom and began walking around checking it out.

"We have a room." Edward turned back to me and placed another quick kiss on my lips then got up following Alice around the room.

"Exactly the same as ours," Alice said looking disappointed after her inspection. "Jasper wants to talk to you Edward."

They were now standing at the end of the bed that I sat on and had been making their way to come sit next to me but then Edward stopped when Alice told him this.

"I guess I'll go see what he wants then." He turned to walk back out of the room but Alice stopped him.

"Err, you might want to change."

"Oh," was all he said and then he turned to his bags on the floor.

I had a funny feeling that Alice was finding it easier to block Edward out of her mind these days. He often didn't know what she was talking about and it was so much easier for me to understand what was going on. Edward lifted his shirt off and pulled on a black t-shirt along with a pair of dark blue jogging pants, but not before making sure Alice had her head turned.

"Well, I'm off," he said then pulling a blue sweater over his head, "I'll see you soon Bella."

He walked towards me and bent down to place a kiss on my lips.

"How long are you going to be?" I didn't want him to be gone.

"We'll be back by the morning, promise."

He smiled and kissed me again and turned to walk out the door. When the suite door had slammed shut, Alice turned to me with a smile on her face.

"What shall we do first, a whole night without the boys."

I saw the mischievious grin she was giving me and gave her one right back. "Let's do something dangerous."

We settled on ordering chick flicks off of the T.V and buying a bunch of junk food for me. So much for dangerous. We were now laying in me and Edward's huge bed watching 'The Notebook' and I was digging into a huge bowl of chocolate ice cream.

"If you're a bird I'm a bird..."

"You know what really bugs me about these movies?" Alice interrupted Noah on the T.V, "The same thing always happens, I might as well just go spend an afternoon with Jazz and I get the same thing out of it."

I rolled my eyes but nodded, "You're right." I flicked off the T.V and licked the last of the ice cream off my spoon.

"I have an idea, stay here." Not that I had any intent of getting up or anything.

Alice zoomed from the room and out the door before I could even ask where she was going. Twenty seconds later she came back into my room holding something behind her back. I got scared. Whenever she did this she was usually planning to strap me down and force make-up on me or something.

"Close your eyes," She was smiling at me like a crazy lunatic.

"Alice I―" I stopped when I saw her face, "Fine."

I closed my eyes and bared myself, ready for Alice to jump of me at any minute. But she didn't. I felt her playing around with something at my feet and then she told me to open my eyes. I opened them and looked at my feet to see a dark, forest green two-piece bathing suit. The top was a halter style and the bottoms were more of a short then a bikini bottom. I immediately thought of how much skin it would show.

"Thanks and every but Alice, I can't wear that." I said looking at her with a knowing look.

"Bella, try it on."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Bella!"

"Fine." I stood up and snatched up the bathing suit with my bandaged arms. I walked into the huge bathroom and let the door close with a click behind me. It took me a while to pull off my shirt and pull of the pajama pants I was now wearing but I managed it and pulled on the bottoms. After much difficulty I finally came to the conclusion that I couldn't do up the top with my bandaged arms.

I poked my head out of the doorway and caught Alice's eye. "I need help."

Alice laughed, "Come here."

I walked out from behind the door holding the green material in front of me. Alice tied the straps around my neck and back with her cool hands and when she was finished, turned me around. She had a smile on her face as she looked at me and I tried to cover up my stomach as much as I could.

"I knew green would look great on you."

"Um, thanks." I said embarrassedly.

"I mean really, you look great." She gave me a wink then walked over to the jacuzzi in the corner of the room. She turned the tap adding hot water and let it run. She then pulled off her pajama shirt and shorts to reveal a bright red bikini against her pale white skin. We sat on the edge of the tub with our feet in the water until it rose to the fill line. Alice reached over and turned the knob to thirty minutes, activating the jets and slipped into the water.

"Ah, get in Bella."

She watched as I carefully tried to slide into the water, being careful not to get my bandages wet. She saw how much I was struggling and moved towards me with her hand out. I took it and easily slit into the water across from her.

"Here," she held her hand out for my arm, "Just take the bandages off."

She undid the tape holding the gauze in place and was unwrapping my arm when a though came to mind and I pulled away from her.

"Alice won't the blood and cuts bother you?" I didn't want anything bad happening.

"It's fine, trust me."

So I watched as she slid off the bandages to reveal my cuts. After she looked at them I pulled my arms away and slowly slid them into the hot water. They stung against the water but it felt relaxing. I leaned back into the tub and closed my eyes as Alice did the same.

"How did you like Alaska Bella?"

I answered without even opening my eyes. "It was great."

"It was?" I could tell she had opened her eyes to look at me.

I opened my eyes and looked at her. "Yeah, me and Rosalie started talking and stuff, the family was great and the shopping was fun."

"I knew you were going to have a good time," she smiled as she closed her eyes again, "Well, minus the fact a bunch of vampires wanted to suck your blood."

I laughed at how funny it sounded and Alice did the same. We still lay with our heads resting behind us and just rested for a few minutes in silence. I let my mind wander and started thinking about almost everything that had been bothering me lately. That night at the Cullen's then slipped into my mind and I remembered what had been on my mind most that night. I sat up and splashed the water around and Alice did the same and looked at me, expecting a question.

"Is he going to do it Alice?" I looked hard into her eyes looking, once again, for the answer I wanted most.

"How many times have we been through this Bella?" She was smiling, "He'll change you sooner or later, I keep seeing it and you know he won't let you get away from him. And if he doesn't do it...I will."

She winked at me which made me smile. I knew she wouldn't have to do it because deep down inside I knew that Edward would do it himself. I sat snug in the hot water for a few more minutes before the water started to get a little chilly. The jets had automatically stopped with a buzz and click and the thirty minutes were up. Me and Alice stood up and grabbed one of the towels on the stand and wrapped it around ourselves. I looked at my arms and saw that the cuts had gone a funny color and the skin around had loosened from the water. Most of the bleeding had stopped except for a tiny drip coming out of my hand as I had leaned against it on the tub.

"Here." Alice threw me a small towel.

"Thanks." I wrapped it around my hand.

I walked into the bathroom and picked up my clothes off the floor and shut it and pulled them back on quickly. I hung my bathing suit over the side of the tub and walked back out into the bedroom, knowing Alice would already be dressed. I stifled a yawn as I walked back into the room and saw Alice under the covers in the bed. She laughed as she saw me yawn.

"You should sleep Bella."

I looked to the clock that was on the far wall, it was already 1:26am. "You're right."

I pretty much ran and jumped into the bed next to her and pulled the covers over me and we were both laughing. I turned off the only light left in the room and snuggled down into my pillows, wishing Edward were there with me.

"We have the best sleepovers." I laughed thinking of all of Alice and my sleepovers during the summer which usually involved me sleeping with Edward watching me and Alice and Jasper watching movies all night.

"We do, don't we." I smiled as my sleepy eyes started to close in tiredness.

I knew Alice would just lay next to me the whole night, probably thinking of Jasper or working visions out in her mind. Although she didn't ever sleep, she still liked feeling human every now and then...even if it was only pretend.

"It's just her hand, wrap it back up." I heard Alice's voice from the direction it had been the previous night when I fell asleep. I felt someone lift up my hand with the cut and they were now wrapping it. I could tell from the gentleness of the touch that it was Edward.

"Her breathing changed," I heard him say to Alice, "Good morning Bella."

I opened my eyes and smiled as I saw his face just inches from mine looking into my eyes. "Morning Edward."

I yawned as Edward finished up with my hand and turned to Alice still beside me in the bed. "Morning."

"Hey Bella," she climbed over my body and slid out of the bed and kissed Edward and I on the forehead, "We'll catch up later."

I watched as she picked her bathing suit up off of the chair it was settled on a she walked out of the door closing it behind her. Edward took Alice's place next to me on the bed and pulled close to me. I realized he was still wearing the same clothes as the night before so I knew he had only just come in from hunting.

"How was your night with Alice?" He leaned down and breathed onto my face next to my cheek.

"It was good," I said closing my eyes and nuzzling into his face.

He kissed the side of my nose and his face paused above mine. His mouth opened slightly and he breathed onto me. And I smelt it...blood. The smell didn't even bother me, in fact I wanted to get even closer to it. A weird feeling came over me and without even thinking about what I was doing, I pulled Edward's face to mine forcing a kiss. He willingly kissed me and he was slightly taken aback when I forced his mouth open with my tongue tasting the blood inside his mouth. He stiffened and pulled back from me quickly looking at me with a confused expression.

"Mm." It slipped from my lips. I hadn't meant to do it but the bitter sweet taste of the blood in my mouth had taken over me and gave me a feeling I never felt before. The taste and even smell of blood shout have been enough to make me faint, but something was different. I looked up to Edward's face and realized how what I'd done affected him.

He looked disgusted. He slowly turned away from me looking at the wall for a split second, but in that split second that he had looked away I turned and ran to our bathroom closing the door behind me and being sure to lock it. I turned my back to the door and fell against it sliding to the floor, startled by what I had done.

A/N: Another chapter! Yay! So anyways, I hope the ending of this chapter with Bella and the blood didn't gross you out, but I promise you theres a reason for it. Heh. So I do realize this was my longest chapter yet and still pretty much nothing happened, but I hope you all liked it just the same. My chapters will probably be coming out much longer now, because after all those hard times of writers block about a trillion ideas came to mind and I pretty much have everything planned to the end of the story. I'm expecting the story to probably be somewhere around 11-15 chapters, maybe more or less depending on how well I can write them. So I hope you liked this chapter...tell me what you liked, or disliked for that matter and I'll try my best to improve and stuff. I appreciate all the great reviews I already got, keep em comin'.
