This is a little rushed and pulled out of me, sorry for making you wait and putting such thing out! I'll make it up. (:


EPOV

I was aware of the thing she wanted to talk about, I knew she had about million questions about what she had seen and me. I did not know if I should fake and pretend that I didn't know what she meant or maybe I would say the truth, freak her out so she wouldn't approach me anymore. It would be easier for all of us.

Alice was still beside me, her thoughts pushing me to engage a conversation with Bella. She, of course, had already our wedding planned. I coughed seeing her thoughts about that, which had caught me off guard. My sister was truly ridiculous.

Edward, do you like champagne color or sky blue? Color schemes are an important thing. We'll pick the music once you're both together, I don't know if she likes Debussy as much as you do. The wedding march would be a little too typical, right?

She was ludicrous, too.

"I don't think that it is the best time, Bella." I answered, trying to wipe Alice's mind away from affecting mine. I had to keep myself together, not start to yell at her in the middle of the parking lot with everyone watching. That would be absurd, but so was Alice.

"Edward, be a man. I'm sure there's no best time for your talk." Alice hissed at me, her eyes glowing.

Don't you DARE to run away now, suck your vampire self up and talk to her. She deserves to know, I will pack Melody's things while you're at it.

Why was my sister to eager to push Melody away? I loved her, I wasn't sure about being in love, but I was going to marry her. There was no doubt. Alice was dishonest towards my fiancée.

"Oh, it's alright, I'm not pushing."

During our inner war, we both had forgotten about Isabella standing next to us. When we both glanced at her, she blushed. I liked when red colored her cheeks, it was easier for me to read her. I couldn't read her thoughts, but the blush signaled that she felt awkward. Bella was a mystery for me, one that fascinated me and drew me closer, unfortunately.

"Bella, I'm sure Edward wants to talk to you, too. See, he's the shy one out in the family."

Alice nudged me, before she turned around and left Isabella and me alone.

You might need some time to talk, if anything, I'll get you passes.

I watched my sister dance away like some mad-woman, thenI faced my fear, Isabella who looked at me; her face was priceless. She had wanted to talk to me, yet now she looked like she was at loss for words. I decided to be the mature one, speaking up. Sadly, we both had decided to open our mouths in the same time, so all I got from her was 'why' while I said to her 'what'. We both shut up, Bella smiled at me uncomfortably. Now I decided to wait for her to resume, as I didn't want to make awkward more awkward. Her blushing was cute, but it caused the venom burn in my throat, not the most pleasant feeling.

"I might sound foolish, but I don't know how to put this."

I knew where it was going, the night before was still on her mind. I had to collect myself and decide if I wanted to act clueless or approve.

"Where you in my room at night?" she barely whispered, but I had caught her question.

I nodded to see her eyes widen. At least she wasn't running around, screaming and calling me a creep. Success, Edward.

"Wh—why?" Bella asked, confused.

Her voice was rising; I could hear her without my vampire power. I saw that she was trying to keep calm, keep herself together and not stress out in front of everyone. I had my reason and the answer to why, but I didn't know how awful would 'I like to watch you sleep' and 'I want to make sure you're okay' sound. For a human that has been used to everything working in order in its little world that might be quite challenging to understand and take it as it is. When I finally had gathered my thoughts together and decided what the answer would be, a familiar trail of thoughts interrupted me.

How in the hell is Edward Cullen talking to someone like her? Isabella doesn't deserve this! And where is Melody, if she only knew this, she would've attacked Bella with no mercy. Ugh, should I act nonchalantly about him standing there?

It was Jessica that attacked me, I heard her steps coming closer. I had no more time to explain myself to Bella, so I looked at her apologetically.

"Hi, Bella… Oh… hi, Edward!"

When she had to say my name, her voice became piercing. I blinked at her, not understaing her sudden fascination, then I returned to Isabella, as she was the one keeping my attention.

"Morning, Jessica." I took the greeting, keeping my eyes on Bella.

She looked completely thrown off, but she answered to Jessica. Isabella seemed to not judge people around her, taking only their good qualities in the account. To me it was wrong, really, she didn't know how mean Jessica's mind could get once she started seeing Bella engaging conversations with guys Jessica had fancied or did fancy. I wanted to tell her, scare Jessica away and just make it a better place for Isabella. I had to shut up the gentleman Edward screaming at me.

"I guess we'll have to talk another time." I murmured, turning away to leave.

I was in no position to talk to Isabella with Jessica's presence. She had the nerve to create rumors in no time, I wondered how Bella didn't see that side of Stanley.

Another time?! Is he actually going to talk to her another time?! Oh my God, what does she have that I don't?

Her thoughts cried at me; I had definitely underestimated the effect I had had on her, it still left its marks. I did leave one on every girl in Forks High. They all seemed to be sickly in love with a vampire, if only they knew what they were playing with.

Visual arts were calming, I didn't have to remember anything at all, I just drew silly colors and painted pictures. No questions asked.

BPOV

I sighed, watching him walk away. I wanted to know more, why and how did he get so close to me. Why did he leave, though that would sound so sick of me to say. He had a girlfriend; I was in no position of taking him away from Melody. I didn't want to create a triangle, either. I would just give it all up. I was sure that I could do that, wipe off Cullen and his stupid, shiny Volvo out of my mind. He had put a spell on me, I had never ever experienced such feelings for someone like him, but he was beautiful and one eyesight could astound me. I was a lovesick puppy, wasn't I?

"I wanted to ask you if it was okay if… I invited Mike to ball with me?" Jessica asked, yanking me out of my thoughts.

"Jessica, why would it not be? Sure." I smiled at her, assuring.

It took much not to roll my eyes, as I was confused, not understanding such question coming from her. She could have every boy in this school, yet she felt dependant on what I would say. How would Mike turn her down, when today she was flaunting her breasts in everyone's eyes?

"Thank you, Bella. We should go to school, though, the lesson will start soon."

I nodded and followed her. Jessica appeared to be cheering up, but I knew she had one question in her pocket that she would not damp down. She asked it when we had approached the staircase, it was wet and I was sure, icy too. Perhaps I would fall down, so the question would be left hanging in the thin air.

"So, what did Edward want from you?"

"School stuff."

I shortly answered, seeing her flinch. She didn't believe a word I said, but I didn't want to sink into deetails Words 'Edward in my bedroom' would cause a buzz. She would get a kick out of them and create a rumor to accompany them, too. Jessica understood my silence well enough; she didn't ask a single question for the whole walk to the P.E. class. Now I would have some fun, I thought to myself while cringing. P.E. class was never my favorite – I injured others and myself. In this school, I had already punched Mike with my elbow and did some minor things like getting bruises all over my legs, Charlie had laughed and then made sure I was okay. He didn't want to be attacked by Renee.

I got dressed as fast as I could and walked out, eyeing the gymnasium for any balls flying my way. None, I thought and went further to where everyone sat on the bleachers, waiting for the lesson to begin. It was only my luck when Tyler had started to play basketball with other boys near, it was only my luck when the ball flied my way and hit my head. I felt myself drowning into the darkness, the familiar nausea hitting my stomach. I felt my body contact the cold floor.

"How is she feeling?"

A familiar angelic voice asked. I felt a smile draw on my lips, my hand seeking for the owner of it.

"She should be coming to herself soon."

Another, not so beautiful voice answered. Where did the beautiful one go? I needed its calming tone to ease the mess my thoughts were creating.

"Bella, Isabella, wake up."

I smiled again, at the hearing of it. I should wake up, but then the voice wouldn't be pleading me, would it? Cold hands shook my shoulders, I gave up and opened my eyes rapidly, the light shone in them and I had to stitch them together once more. I blinked a few times to fix my look.

"What is this?"

I tried to pull myself up, but I felt dizzy, so I plopped down back. Cold hands caressed my cheek; I smiled feeling helpless and took one of them into my hands. The cold was pleasant.

"You got your head hit, so now you're at the nurse's office."

Angelic voice explained, I knew that voice. When I finally came to a realization, I let the hand go and felt myself blush. I decided not to open my eyes ever again. For the last minutes I had acted ridiculous; smiling, not controlling my actions and I had probably mumbled things when I was out.

"Open your eyes, Bella. I know that you're here."

I opened one eye like I had done yesterday and then the other one. Edward was looking down at me with a weak smile on his face.

"What did I say?" I muttered, straightening up and letting a hand through my hair. I felt him stiffen next to me, but I ignored it.

The dizziness was gone, I could sit without feeling as if I was about to faint once more. I never liked the feeling before fainting, you would think that I had experienced so much that I would get used to it, but I did not.

I looked around the room, nurse was gone. About a billion bottles of medicine decorated her table. Some papers, signs and liquid ammonia. She probably pulled it out on the special occasion. Me.

"Nothing much, some things about me, but I'll pretend I didn't hear them." He nonchalantly answered, looking at me.

I blushed, but decided to let it go, I didn't want to embarrass myself even more.

"How come are you here?"

"I was walking right out of my class when I saw Mike carrying you in the bridal style."

Edward chuckled at the memory.

"And I told him that I'll get you here. Of course, he didn't believe me, but I convinced him." he finished telling me, obviously enjoying himself too much.

"Okay, can I go to lessons now?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Bella. I excused you from your lessons, you hit your head and there's no reason for you to attend." He answered, looking at the clock.

"Edward, how could you do that, the teachers are brutal."

I was amazed; no one would ever be able to get me out of school like that. I wondered if all of the teachers, female, jumped at him like the girls did. That would be no surprise.

"Questions, you'll give me them later. We should go." Edward told me, flashing me his crooked smile. He probably used this one when he wanted to get what he wanted.

"Where?" I avoided the 'no questions now' rule.

"You'll see, just follow me."

I did not even know him, yet he was taking me somewhere. I gave in when he looked at me with his dazzling look, I felt dizzy again.

Too much thinking, Bella.

I followed Edward out, walking to his car. He opened the passenger's door for me, I furrowed my brows.

"Alice will get your car home, sit."

I was holding back, looking at him unbelievingly.

"And your family?"

"The least of the things you should worry about, they'll be fine."

He rolled his eyes, as I finally sat down. In no time, he was by the wheel, starting the car. I hadn't noticed him walking around the front of the car, but that was my head acting funky. I tried to gather my thoughts together. We were driving in silence. The silence with Edward was enjoyable. He was the first one not to pressure me into talking with him, I could look at him now and then, sometimes our gazes locked and I had to look away, blushing.

We finally stopped, I took a look around.

"Forest? Edward, are you serious?"

He laughed, while I begged that I could disappear.

"You tell me that you want to talk to me, but you're afraid of going into the forest with me?" Edward asked, trying to calm himself down, "I'm not the most dangerous thing out there, you know."

The final part of the sentence he swallowed.

"What does that mean?" I asked him, opening the door of the car and getting out.

I wasn't giving him the chance to go all polite on me again, it made me feel uncomfortable when he was playing ladies-man with me. I shut the door, looking at him. Edward was already moving in the way of forest, leaving me behind. Why did he act like that; pull me out of school, and drag me to a forest I did not know of..

I crossed my arms, moving his way. Hesitating I bit my lip, but I had nothing to loose.

EPOV

Isabella could be stubborn at time. First, she goes all the way to say that she wants to talk to me. Second, when I give her the chance, she holds herself back like no other. I knew that the decision to take her to the forest would be repulsive and I would have to receive a lot of opinions from my family, my Melody, but I had to give her as much as I could. Superficially explain her what I was and show her a little of myself. I didn't know what her reaction might be, that's why chose the forest. Forest was calming, it wasn't a public school with everyone watching you curiously. Forest was my cure and the place where I came when even Carlisle couldn't give a advice worth listening to. I could get my head cleared and my thoughts placed together once more. This was the place, which I would miss when we would have to move away again. It was a part of the Forks area that was peculiar for me. No one else knew about it, Alice had seen it in her visions, but she never told anyone. She and Jasper were the only ones who were able to understand me in a way no one else could. They had their powers that could drain them, too. I was happy that I wasn't alone in this.

"Are you coming?" irritated, I asked.

"Yes, but what did that mean?"

She wasn't letting it go, I had to learn that long before the drive, but I didn't want to. I would rather pretend that she gives up half of the time she got confused by my actions or words. Possibly, that was the idiosyncrasy I liked about her. That's how they were so clashing with Melody in my mind. My love always gave up on questions, while Bella wasn't afraid to ask and show the curiosity. I knew that someone like her wouldn't give me peace, but I had noticed that Isabella didn't push it, if I showed some kind of dislike towards it.

"Questions. Later." I answered, going deeper into the forest.

If she wanted, Bella could stop and tell me to take her home. She did not; instead, she followed me through. At some times, she did trip and then I had to catch her that made her blush furiously. That led to the venom driving me crazy. I ignored it, I wouldn't kill another human. Of course, this human was a rarity; Isabella was unique, but she didn't see herself like that. She was wonderful and beautiful, yet she always acted like the insecure one. If only she took herself seriously and made her goals, Bella would be able to snap Jessica and the other girls in half. Not in the Melody way, though.

After an hour of walking and not talking, we finally reached what I wanted to. The meadow. I was not sure of how she would react now. People were allowed to have different opinions.

"This is beautiful." I heard her gasp as she entered the clearing.

I smiled; she appreciated the place, which had been my escape for all of these years.

"I know. I always come here to think." I answered, watching her curiously. She looked back.

"What?" Bella asked, coming closer to me.

"Where are your questions?" I reminded her.

"I have them, but let me prepare myself before that." She answered smiling, batting her eyelashes.

If my heart was able to pulse into my chest, it would've skipped a beat. I wasn't sure whether she was doing it on purpose or was it a natural thing of her.

"Shoot, every each one of them, Bella." I assured her, sitting down on a stem of a fallen tree.

A/N: You don't have to R&R this chapter specifically, but IT WOULD BE NICE if you wrote your opinion on how the story should go. Anything, just spill it.
