Chapter 7
I was so happy that I was finally starting school. But I was worried about James and Victoria, I had been without them for a week and I didn't want to spend the day away from them. I knew they were in good hands with Esme but I was going to miss them anyhow. I got up for school early, I think it was 5:45. I got up early like that everyday, it was mostly because I had to get myself ready, make breakfast for me and the twins, and then get the twins ready to go with Esme. I could handel it thou I have been doing it for three years. I dressed simple for school, jeans high-heels and a sweater. I dried my hair so it was in waves cascading down my back. By 6:45 I was putting the twins in their seats so they could eat breakfast, and then I could get them ready. The twins were bears in the morning, no matter how many times I woke them up they fell back to sleep. I ended yp carrying both of them downstairs because they were being stubborn.
We were in the middle of eating breakfast when the door bell rang; and to my surprise it was Edward. "Uhh, hey?" I said but it came out sounding like a question. "Sorry, but I was wondering if you wanted help with the twins this morning?" he was so polite he got up early so he could come over and help me. "Edward, you didn't have to do this? But if you want to help you can." I said "Thanks Bells now where are my favorite neice and nephew?" he asked "In the kitchen." and we walked into the kitchen and Victoria and James were sitting there patiently waiting for me to come and get them. "Unca Edward!" James and Victoria screamed at the same time. He smiled and picked Victoria up out of her seat as I did the same with James. "Ok guys time for your bath!" I said and Victoria burroed her head into Edward's shoulder. "No baf." she exclaimed, I just laughed "Yes bath, you want to be clean for Edward's mommy don't you?" She pouted but nodded her head.
I started their bath and put them in as I remembered that I didn't grab their clothes. "Edward, do you think you could watch them while I go get their outfits?" I asked him "Nope, go right ahead, I will start washing their hair." I walked to each Victoria and James room grabbing clothes for them, just something simple. I got side tracked packing their bags to go to Esme's for the day, and when I realized the time 10 minutes later Edward was taking them out of the bath and drying them. None of them noticed me at first and I stood in the doorway watching Edward. The picture was perfect I couldn't turn my head from it. "Bella!" Edward called my name not knowing that I was right behind him. "Yeah?" I asked, and he jumped a little noticing where I was. "Do you have their clothes?" He asked and I nodded my head and handed him James clothes while I took Victoria and dressed her. "Did you have a nice bath?" I asked her and poked her side. She started giggling and nodded her head wildly. I laughed at her and finished getting her changed, standing her up so I could fix her hair.
James turned around with Edward and James' hair was up into a mohawk. I laughed, "Please tell me that you didn't put gel in my sons hair?" I asked while I was trying to consume my giggles. Edward just smiled "Oop's sorry. I guess I should have asked first." I rolled my eyes "It's ok he seems to like it, but if he wants to keep it like that I am getting his hair trimmed." Edward laughed and picked James up in his arms. While Edward followed me down the stairs and to the hall closet I pulled on each of the twins jackets and then I put mine on. I grabbed the bag with extra clothes in it for them and then my school bag and pulled the door closed behind me. Edward, Victoria, James, and I walked over to Edward's and for a second there I thought we looked like the perfect family. We reached the door to the house and Edward opened it and Alice, Emmett, and Esme came running down the stairs. James and Victoria automaticaly wanted down to give each and every person a hug, and thats what they did. Ten minutes later we all were saying good bye so we could go to school, I gave James and Victoria one last hug and then closed the door, today I had to deal with my first day at Westward prep.
I pulled my audi into the parking lot and got out. My surroundings were full of flashy new cars, cheerleaders, jocks, nerds, geeks ect. Everything was like my school back in Pheonix. Emmett, Rose, Jasper, Alice, and Edward stepped out of the volvo and came to stand next to me. It was the first day of school and once the girls saw Edward they were all over him. One girl who's name was Lauren wouldn't stop giggling and twirling her hair circle, I was funny. Edward took me to the office to get my schedual and the girls were giving me dirty looks. We walked into the office to find a lady named Mrs. Cope, she had big rimmed glasses and her pants were pulled up too far. "Hi, i'm Isabella Swan, i'm new here." I said in the most pleasent voice I could think of. "Oh, yes I heard the police cheifs daughter was granting us with her presence here at good ol' Westward." She said as she handed me a schedual and a map of the school.
Edward and I were comparing scheduals when we were stopped in the hall. "Hi, i'm Jessica. Your that new girl Isabella right? Your the police cheifs daughter, the slut. We heard how you had a son and a daughter at 14, you are such a slut, no wonder people are saying you are so easy." she said with a laugh, I so badly wanted to punch her, but once Edward saw my hand curl into a fist he started to hold me back. "First of all my name is BELLA, second of all don't you dare talk about my son or daughter, third of all you don't know the whole story, fourth of all i'm not easy, and lastly you better watch what you say, I could care less if I get suspended and neither will my dad if I am standing up for my kids." I said to her and when I stated the last point her face (which by the way had to much make-up on it) went white, maybe now she would know not to mess with me. I turned to Edward, "Thanks for holding me back there, if you weren't I would have seriously punched her. That is one of the reasons why I left Pheonix, I was constantly getting into fights standing up for James and Victoria. They knew not to mess with me thou, one time a girl went to far with making fun of them, and I broke her nose and knocked her out."
Edward looked at me surprisingly, he probably didn't think I could do any of that. It turned out that Edward and I had all but one class together. So the two of us walked to room 718 for homeroom, and as we walked in the door I stopped dead in my tracks, there he was. I couldn't beilive after the cops letting him off with a "warning" for what he did to me he moved to Forks. "Bella, whats wrong?" Edward asked me and he said my name a little bit louder than needed. Mike's head went up and he saw me, my eyes started to tear up and I turned to Edward. "He's here, when he raped me the police let him off with a warning. He is in this room, Micheal Newton." Edward's eyes went wide and he pulled me close to him as I cried into his shoulder. We walked over to two empty seats on the far side of the room away from him. But Mike started to walk towards us, and I started to sink lower into Edwards shoulder I didn't want him to come near me.

I couldn't beilive that he had the nerve to stand up and come talk to my Bella. Wait my Bella? When did she become my bella. She was just a friend wasn't she? But she is so pretty, maybe she likes me like I like her. But this isn't me liking her, I think i'm in love with her. "Hi, Bells." Mike said, and I stiffened. "What do you want Mike?" she sniffed out "I just wanted to talk to my favorite person again." He said pushing her hair out of her face. But as soon as he didn't that she jumped up and pushed the desk out of the way. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME YOU FILTHY SLUG! AFTER YOU RAPED ME IN PHEONIX AT 14 YOU LEFT WITH A WARNING FROM THE POLICE, I WAS LEFT PREGANANT. SO DON'T TOUCH ME, JUST GET AWAY FROM ME!" she yelled. Mike backed off but Bella ran out of the room crying, people were gathered at the door and their stood Alice, Rose, Emmett, and Jasper. Alice and Rose ran after Bella, but Jasper and Emmett came in the room standing in front of Mike along with me.
"Stay away from her and the twins slug. Or something that you don't want is going to happen!" Emmett said right in his face. I grabbed the front of his shirt "If you say two words to her or go near her ever again I will hit you so hard your not going to know who you are." I said to his and then let hin go as he fell to the floor. Mike ran back to his seat and the bell rang. Jasper and Emmett left and Bella came back into the class room , but gave Alice and Rose each a hug first. She fixed the desk and settled back into my side first. This feels so right, Bella at your side. Standing up for her when she needs it. Maybe it will be like this more often. My thoughts were going crazy with Bella, but I had no clue what to do about it.

I couldn't beilive Mike had the nerve to talk to me. I can't beilive that I blew up at him like that in front of everyone, just letting out my deepest seceret like that. I ran out of the room crying, as I got to the door I saw Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Rose. I couldn't stop thou, but I got into the bathroom and collapsed by the sink. Rose and Alice came in right after me and went directly to my side. I cried and no words were said. "I can't beilive he is here in Forks, and I said something about the twins, what am I going to do? I am not letting him come anywhere near the twins, I am not risking that." I said to Alice and Rose. "Bella, you don't have to let him see them, it is your choice." Rose said. I nodded and got up to dry my eyes.
The bell rang and I was right outside my homeroom. I gave Alice and Rose a hug each and then turned into the room. I fixed the desk and then sat back in the chair. I went to Edward's side and he pulled me close, my oh my it felt so right. I wonder what Edward thinks about this. When he was drying James and Victoria it felt so perfect today. And when we were all walking to his house to drop off the twins it was the perfect picture, of the perfect family. I shook my head and turned to Edward and we talked silently until the teacher came in. When the bell rang Edward and I started to walk to out next class which happened to be english 11. I couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened this morning with Edward and the twins. I think I like Edward, well more than like I think I love him. We countined threw the rest of the day, and the one period I didn't have with him sucked. I met a girl named Angela who surprisingly didn't judge me, maybe there was some good in this suckish world.
The final bell of the day rang and Edward and I walked to my locker, dropping off the books that I didn't need for homework tonight. I walked to my audi and Edward went to his volvo, I told him that I would meet him back at his house, and then maybe we could hang out later. I hopped into the car and went straight to Edwards. I parked in my drive way and walked next door as Edward was pulling into his drive. Edward, Emmett, Alice, and I walked into the house and Victoria came running towards me. "Momma, Momma grandma let us make cookies today. They were so good!" Victoria said her speech perfect. I was puzzeled at the fact that she called Esme grandma, they were not related at all but she still called her that. I followed Victoria back into the kitchen where Esme and James sat with a cookie and a glass of milk. Edward, Emmett, and Alice followed behind and grabbed a cookie off the plate. We all leaned against the island and I turned towards Esme. "Vicky called you grandma, is that ok?" I asked, Esme smiled "It is no problem at all dear, and before you ask they were angels. The settled down perfectly for there nap and gave me no trouble." I was happy about that they were always angels. I took them home for dinner about an hour later, and I saw a car parked across the street from the house.
The windows were tinted so I couldn't see who it was so I didn't bother. I made Victoria and James dinner and Charlie walked threw the door soon after that. He came into the kitchen and sat down as I set a plate full of food down at the table for him. "Dad when you came in was there a car parked across the street?" I asked him. But he seemed confused because he looked at me funny. "No, why?" he asked "Never mind." I told him and he went back to his dinner. I came to sit down next to James to eat and we were having the best time. My dad was doing the dished when the door bell rang, so I left James and Victoria in the living room where I could see them. I opened the door and standing there was Mike. He was the last person I wanted to see, and I couldn't beilive he was here.
