I quietly sulked in my bedroom. Not wanting Rose or Jazz to come up to check on me. I winced silently as I rummaged through my clothes. We were leaving the next day despite what Mike had done. No way in hell was I missing out on Italy.

I sat down heavily on my bed and thought back to how I'd treated them in the hospital. With totally no respect. I winced knowing what was coming next. I was never one for apologies. Timidly I opened the door and crept silently down the stairs.

"Rose. You don't understand. She's so mad because we treated her gently. You weren't treating her like the Bella before. She's still the same. Just with some stuff to get over." My eyes widened. Okay. I know that eavesdropping isn't the best habit, but hey. Their talking about ME!

"I know Jazz. It's just…seeing her there. Lying all broken. It's so….." She broke off and I heard sobbing sounds. I needed to stop her pain. It's so unfair of me to be perfectly fine – ignoring the marks on my stomach - and her to beat herself up about it.

"Rose? Jazz? Can I talk to you guys?" Rosalie's head flung up and she desperately tried to wipe off the mascara trails from her face. I took my thumb and wiped them away. Chuckling softly to myself.

"Who'd of ever guess that to get the famous tough cookie Rosalie Whitlock all I needed to do was guy burned up a bit?" I kept my voice light and joking, and she smiled at me. But it didn't reach her eyes.

"First of all. I'm so sorry for acting like such a dick in the hospital. I… just, everything was catching up to me at once. But still I shouldn't have taken it out on you." Jasper opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off. "Just let me finish. Please." I looked into his kind eyes, seeing him nod. Breathing in deeply I tried again.

"Kay, here's the deal. Yes, I know that what I went through was bad. Scary, horrible, disgusting, all of the above. But it's not going to change who I am. I'm still Bella Swan who's never had a boyfriend, has no body, frizzy hair and has the best friends in the world. I really, really don't want you guys to start treating me like I will break in your hands if you treat me to roughly. If I'm not going to change I see no reason for you to." I looked at them both and Rose had tears in her eyes, Jazz just looked morbid. So serious they were.

"So," I looked at them playfully. "Who's ready for some ITALY FUN?" I grabbed their hands and we, even Jazz, started dancing around the room.

Finally, after all the drama of yesterday something good was happening. We where currently at the check in at forks and Rose had just masterfully convinced the man to let her 75 pound bag be allowed as luggage on the plane. We walked away laughed as Jasper just shook his head.

"Never mess with my sister." He muttered to his hand. Letting out another gleeful laugh Rose and I high fived.

"Wrong dear brother. Never mess with a woman." Grumbling under his breath he agreed as we hurried over to customs. I was so excited.

I started skipping, Rose at my heels, leaving the grumbling Jasper to catch up. Although he was struggling. Yes, being the amazing ladies that we are we left our luggage with him.

"Love ya Jazz!" I turned back to face him and it happened. I, being the masterful walker that I am- tripped over air. I braced myself for the unavoidable, my face meeting the floor in a harmful fashion. Then two strong arms gripped themselves around my waist. I let out a piercing shriek and pulled away hands over my now painfully burning stomach.

"Rose?" My voice was harsh with pain. Her head flew up. "My stomach…" Immediately she gripped my shoulders and led me to the ladies room.

.

I watched in interest as the blonde let off the screaming girl. She looked like she was in pain, but even in her pain she was really pretty. Large brown eyes, brown hair and amazing curves.

"I wonder what her problem is." Emmett grumbled. I laughed at his antics. Despite his huge appearance he was really just a big suck.

"Maybe she didn't appreciate being caught. You know. Some people like the pain." Alice chirped lightly. I grimaced and looked down at the pixie like girl that was my sister. Ever since our father had told us about his one client and the burns she'd been all over self inflicted pain.

"Pardon me?" All three of us turned to face the guy with the slight southern drawl. I was surprised to see his face burning with anger. "She did not do anything to herself. What did happen was guys like yourselves who can't take no for a freaking answer! Bella is, admittedly, a little clumsy, but she would never ever hurt herself like that purposely. Understand?" I flinched back a little. Talk about pissed off boyfriend. Alice pouted a little before sticking out her little hand.

"I'm sorry. We didn't mean anything by it." She said calmly. His eyes widened at the sight of her. I sighed. Alice. "So she's your girlfriend?" I nearly choked.

"Alice. This is none of our business….." But the more I thought about it. The more I wanted to know about the mysterious brunette.

"Bella?! My…girlfriend?" He stuttered out in near hysterics. Finally after a while he calmed down. "No. Bella is the farthest thing from my girlfriend. Although she is really hot isn't she?" I snorted in my head. Farthest thing from a friend my ass. "Bella's really more like a sister." Suddenly Emmett spoke up sounding nervous.

"What about the hot blonde?" The tough look came back into the guys eyes. He looked Emmett up and down, as if sizing him up.

"That, is my twin sister. And I know she is good looking but if you ever lay so much as a hand on her or Bella I'll…."

"Honey! Where home!" I looked behind him to see Bella and the blonde walk up together. The blonde was looking nervously at Bella who had tear stains on her face. I wonder what had happened.

"You okay Bells?" She nodded her head. I strained to listen to the conversation.

"It's a good thing Dr. Cullen gave us those extra bandages. When he grabbed me, he re-opened the wounds. Excuse me? But could you stop listening to our conversation?" My head snapped up to look her in the eyes. They were hard and angry. She was so beautiful. Wait. Where had that come from? She was just a girl. Urh, woman, and I'd probably never meet her again.

"Hello? Did you hear me? Rose. Do you think he's incompetent?" She looked over to the blonde.

"Oh sorry Bella." I cringed. Now she'd know I knew her name. "It's just that Dr. Cullen is our father." I flashed her my best crooked grin.

.

I stared at him for a couple seconds. So he thought that just because some hot doctor was his father he could listen to my private conversations. I don't think so.

"Oh, and just because Dr. Cullen was my doctor doesn't mean you can listen to our private conversation." I snapped back at him. Jerk. He was one of those guys who thought they were god's gift to women. He looked startled and I laughed. I guess not very many women didn't fall for that smile.

"I.. uh… so…" I turned away from him and looked at the little pixie like woman standing beside him. Sticking out my hand I announced,

"Nice to meet you. I'm Bella." Grinning widely she shook my hand and then pulled me into a hug.

"I'm Alice! And I have a feeling that where gonna be good friends!!" Her excitement was catching and I found myself yearning for the friendship I could have with her.

"Like father like daughter." I told her brightly. I laughed freely at her confused look. "That's exactly what your father told me when I left the hospital. Well, except that he'd be seeing me a lot in the future and to stay away from New…." I stopped and blanched. I'd almost spilled.

"New…" She looked at me to explain but I shook my head. Suddenly I was in a death grip of a hug that could rival Rose's.

"If pixie stix thought it was okay to hug you so do I!" The voice rumbled in my ear. I froze. A guy. Hugging me. Tight. I threw a panicked looked around for Jasper.

"Jazz?" He immediately stepped forward, helping me out of the death grip.

"Sorry guys. It's nothing against you. It's just that Bella's had some problems with…touchy feely men lately." Alice let out a painful hiss and a soft I'm sorry. Then suddenly someone screamed out.

"Who was it!? Anyone who touches my little friend without her wanting it is gonna meet my friends. Tweede Dee and Tweedle Dumb." Emmett roared holding up his fists. I couldn't help it. I broke out in a peel of laughter. He looked at me confused.

"Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb?" Everyone broke into laughter around us. Forgetting for the time being what Jasper had told them. I raised my head and was shocked to see two emerald eyes staring me down. They where the most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen. He walked over to where I was leaned against Rose and stuck out his smooth, sculpted hand. I bet he was a musician.

"I'm Edward." His voice was smooth and musical. He was so good looking. I hesitantly held out my hand to him. Shaking it gently. "So where are you guys-"

"FLIGHT 432 TO ITALY IS BOARDING NOW. PLEASE HEAD TO YOUR GATE." I looked around startled.

"Rose! Jazz! That's our flight!" Excitement coursed through my veins. I was almost hyper as Alice seemed to be.

"Ours to!" I looked at her confused.

"Ours to what?"

"That's our flight too!" We screamed together and started tugging the rest of our crew behind us. Rose finally caught up. I looked up at my beautiful friend.

"You ready for some Italy fun?" I very nearly shrieked in her ear.

"Hell ya!" I looked over to see a small pouting Alice. Rose, apparently saw her too. "Hey, Pixie, you ready for some Italian fun?" Excitement sprang into her eyes.

"You bet your bottom ass dollar I am!" I laughed at she jumped into Rose's arms. I heard a rumble of laughter behind us and I turned around, and walked right into a hard sculpted chest. Bouncing back I fell and landed hard on my butt. The air whooshed out of me and the air around me burst into giggles and laughter.

"You want a hand up Bella?" Edward was starring down at me curiously. Blood rushed up to my checks. Not only did I make a fool of myself, but I make fun of myself in front of three complete strangers one of them had amazing green eyes.

"Please." I tried to keep my voice cool but it came out slightly breathless. He chuckled darkly and pulled me up so I would slam against his chest. He'd purposely pulled to hard and we both knew it.

"I wouldn't want such a beautiful woman to get hurt again." I think I blushed a different shade of red, but still managed to respond.

"I know! I'd hate myself if Rose got hurt!" I said brightly pulling away. I went to go and walk through onto the plane but instead just got pulled back into his restricting arms. His cool breath tickled the nape of my neck. The nerve…

"I wasn't talking about Rosalie. I was talking about you." I wanted to scream. Why didn't he just give up. Images of Mike passed through my head. Before I knew it I was crying. Jasper was at my side in an instant.

"What did you do to her you pig? I told you. She's been hurt!" Edward started to protest and Jasper just pulled me out of his arms. Still sobbing. He wasn't anything like Mike, but he's closeness… really was too much.

"I didn't do anything!" He was holding up his hands innocently. Suddenly Rose was in his face. Screaming.

"You son of a bitch! We told you! And what do you do?! Go all playboy on her?" She turned away, leaving a shocked look on his face. Then spun around, slapping him full on the face. "You touch her again, and you won't be making children anytime soon!" I wanted to laugh but I felt too miserable.

"Sorry guys. I know I'm ruining the trip for you." I mumbled softly into his jacket. Rose rubbed small circles on my shoulders.

"Shh. It's okay. Come on! It's not every day that I get to slap a guy in an airport." She smiled wickedly at me. And with that we walked the way onto the plane ride that would change our lives.

.

"You son of a bitch! We told you! And what do you do?! Go all playboy on her?" She turned away and I couldn't help the shocked look on my face. I hadn't done anything! And even if I did. No one had ever objected before! "You touch her again, and you won't be making children anytime soon!" Emmett and Alice started to laugh behind me as Rosalie stalked off to comfort the sobbing Bella.

"Man, that is one woman." I looked to see Emmett staring after the fuming Rose with lust in his eyes. "Image what she'd be like in bed!?" He moaned out. I stared at him.

"Only you Emmett. Only you. Bella is MUCH more beautiful. Gorgeous even." Emmett's big hand descended on my shoulder turned me to face him. And for once his face was serious.

"Edward. What did you do to her? She looked like she'd seen a ghost." I looked at him shocked. Didn't he know me well enough? I mean, we'd only known her for about 30 minutes and he was already going all big brother on me!

"Emmett! Man! I did nothing 'cept whisper in her ear that she was beautiful! And she is!" Emmett looked at me with disgust. I could NOT believe I was getting a lecture from Emmett.

"Jasper told us that she'd recently been raped, well he did in so many words, and you had to go and do that? Shesh, man if you ruined my chance with Rose…" That sounded more like my annoying brother.

"He's my soul mate! I know it!" Alice sighed behind us. She was looking after Jasper with a lost look on her face. I laughed at her antics and started drawing my siblings to the growing line.

"Come on guys! For a second lets for get hot blondes, soul mates and gorgeous hurt brunettes. Where going to Italy!" We let out a big cheer and set out to the destination that just might change our lives.

Sooooo. I made this one LONGER than the LONGER last one. Please [im seriously begging now] leave some reviews for me?

I would LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!

Not even kidding.
