"Bella, wake up," whispered Edward. I felt him shaking my shoulders. I opened my eyes and looked around.

"Where are we?" I mumbled.

"We are in Seattle. We've been trying to wake you for five minutes," said Emmett. I looked back at him and saw the concern in his eyes.

"I was really tired," I said as I stood up. I started to stumble when I got dizzy. "Whoa."

"Hey, you ok?" asked Edward as he grabbed my arms gently. I felt pain shoot through my arms.

"AAHHHH!" I cried out as I fell to the ground. He quickly let go of my arms.

"Bella," panicked Emmett. He lifted me in his arms and carried me off the bus.

"Put me down, Em," I said as I wiped the tear off my face.

He ignored me and carried me into the stadium. I saw Charlie talking to a man with blond hair and a woman with auburn hair. He looked over at us and I saw the panic in his eyes. He ran over to us and pulled me out of Emmett's arms.

"What's wrong?" panicked Charlie.

"Nothing," I grumbled as I struggled to get out of my fathers arms. He set me on my feet and I wobbled slightly. He reached out and grabbed my arms and I hissed out in pain.

"Shit," I hissed. He let go of my arm.

"Bella, it's not nothing," growled Charlie.

"Yes, it is, Charlie," I snapped. "I was tired so I slept on the bus. It's no big deal."

"Bella, you were dizzy, you almost fell in trig and on the bus. You cried when Edward and Charlie grabbed your arms to stop you from falling. It's not nothing," snapped Emmett. I turned and narrowed my eyes at my brother.

"You had better go get ready for the game," I snapped. Emmett sighed before he turned and ran down past the rest of the team. I saw Edward look back at me. The man and woman Charlie was talking to was being dragged over here by Alice. I turned to Charlie. "I'm fine. I promise."

"Bella, I am taking you to the doctor next week. No more arguing," said Charlie. I knew it was pointless to argue with him anymore.

"Bella, I would like you to meet my parents, Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Mom, Dad, this is Bella Swan," said Alice.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Cullen. This is my father, Charlie. Charlie, this is Alice," I said.

"Please call us Carlisle and Esme," said Carlisle. He looked down at my arms. I followed his eyes and saw bruises starting already. "What happened to your arms, Bella?"

"Edward grabbed her arms on the bus to stop her from falling," explained Alice.

"When?" asked Carlisle concerned.

"About ten minutes ago," said Alice.

"Do you usually bruise so easily?" asked Carlisle gently pulling my arm to him.

"No, she doesn't. She has been sleeping too much also. She's been dizzy and now the bruising," said Charlie. I just rolled my eyes and pulled my arm back to myself. "I was hoping to bring her in to see you, Dr. Cullen."

"First thing Monday morning," said Carlisle.

"If you all are done talking about me like I'm not here, I have a game to cheer for," I snapped.

They all went to say something but I just pushed past them and made my way down to the field. Rose had my pompoms and megaphone ready for me. About fifteen minutes later, the players ran out on to the field. I ran ahead of them all did several front handsprings. The game started and we started cheering. Two hours later, the game ended. We won 21-0. We loaded up on the bus to head home. As soon as the bus started moving, I leaned my head on the back of the seat and fell asleep.

I was shaken awake three hours later when I felt the bus roll to a stop. I looked around and saw that we were at the school. We climbed off the bus and I waved goodbye to Emmett and Rose who took off in his jeep and Jasper who took off in Rose's BMW. I made my way over to my car and climbed in. I put my key in and went to start it but nothing happened. I tried a couple more times before I groaned and popped the hood. I climbed out and lifted the hood up. I grabbed a flashlight and looked around.

"Car trouble," asked Edward from behind me.

"What was your first clue?" I chuckled.

"I think it was the fact that you are looking under the hood at ten o'clock at night," chuckled Edward. He came over and started looking around. "Nice car, by the way."

"She is when she's running smoothly," I chuckled. I sighed. "Shit."

"What?" he asked.

"I going to have so much trouble finding a starter," I grumbled slamming the hood down.

"How do you know it's the starter?" asked Edward.

"I know my car," I chuckled as I grabbed my backpack.

"Oh," he chuckled.

"I'll see you on Monday, Edward," I said as I turned and started walking away when he grabbed my arm again. I turned and looked at him. "Problem?"

"Um, yes. I'm not letting you walk home in the dark," chuckled Edward. "I'll give you a ride."

"Don't be ridiculous. I walk home all the time," I said, pulling my arm out of his hand.

"Not anymore," chuckled Edward. "Let me give you a ride home."

"Fine," I sighed. Edward led me over to his silver Volvo and opened the passenger door for me. I just rolled my eyes and got in. He ran around to the drivers side and quickly got in. "Try to get me home in one piece."

"I am an excellent driver, Miss Swan," chuckled Edward as he started his car. I gave him directions to my house. He pulled up in front. I looked over and saw that nobody was home. "No ones here."

"Charlie must be working. Emmett and Rose went to have sex," I chuckled.

"What does Charlie do?" asked Edward.

"He's the chief of police," I said as I opened the car door. "Thanks for the ride home, Edward."

"Anytime, Bella," said Edward. I climbed out of the car. "Bella?"

"Yes?" I asked a I looked back at him.

"You really are an amazing musician," said Edward.

"Thanks, Edward. So are you," I whispered. "I'm sorry for being such a bitch earlier."

"I was wrong for pushing you like that," whispered Edward.

"Goodnight, Edward," I whispered.

"Goodnight, Bella," he whispered.

I stepped back and shut the car door. I walked up to the porch and let myself into the house. I turned back and waved at Edward before he drove away. I locked the door up behind me and made my way upstairs to my room and shut the door behind me. I stripped out of my cheerleading uniform and pulled on my pajamas. I climbed into bed and turned off my lamp. I pulled the blanket over my head and fell asleep thinking about Edward.

I woke up the next morning when I heard giggling in my room. I felt the blanket get pulled off me and opened my eyes to see Rose and Alice standing in my room. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was just after 9am.

"What the fuck are you two doing here so early?" I grumbled as I pulled the blanket back up. They pulled it off.

"We are going shopping for your homecoming gown," chuckled Alice. I looked over and glared at them.

"Don't mention that traitorous event," I growled.

"Bella, you might as well accept it like I have," sighed Rose.

"You both don't like being nominated?" asked Alice.

"Um, no," I chuckled. She looked confused. "We don't like to conform to the man."

"Oh, so your rebels," chuckled Alice. "Explains the blue hair."

"Or the red hair, Alice," I smirked. "Where are we going anyway?"

"Port Angeles," said Rose.

"Fine, but I need to stop and see Jake. I am hoping he has a starter for me," I said as I climbed out of bed.

"Who's Jake?" asked Alice.

"He's Bella secret lover from La Push," teased Rose.

"Rosie, shut the fuck up. He is not," I snapped. "He runs a garage in La Push. He's the son of my dad's best friend and Leah's boyfriend."

"Oh," said Alice. "Well, hurry and get dressed so we can go shopping."

"Fine," I pouted.

They just chuckled as they left. I took a quick shower and dried my hair leaving it down. I pulled on a pair of ripped jeans and my favorite Bon Jovi t-shirt and a pair of flip flops. I grabbed my credit card, cell phone and keys and went downstairs to find Charlie and Emmett sitting in the living room with Edward, Jasper, Alice and Rose. Edward looked up at me and his eyes widen.
