Here's the second chapter!!

Disclaimer: I don't own the twilight characters or the movie's plot.

Bella's POV:

I got out of the plane and sighed. I think it will take time for the nausea to settle.

My name is Isabella Marie Swan. Bella for short. I am 21 years old and am currently studying to become an author. I really loved books. They always seemed to make time go by so quickly! But there is something I love more than books. Something I needed more than books. Emmett, my brother. He was the world's most amazing brother ever! He's so kind and loving. He always looks out for me. When I get hurt, he throws away all his work and tends to my wounds. When I cry, he holds me close and whispers soothing words to me. He is everything I could ever ask for.

I walked towards the baggage claim area and looked around for my brother.

"BELLA!!"

Big, strong arms wrapped around me and pulled me into a big, warm hug. If I hadn't recognized that embrace, I would have screamed bloody murder.

I laughed and turned around once he let go of me. "Emmett! I missed you so much! College has been such a bore without you! I'm so glad, this was my final year. I couldn't stand a second without you."

Emmett smiled lovingly. "Of course not! Who wouldn't miss me?"

I rolled my eyes and smacked his arm playfully. I heard a soft chuckle and turned around.

"Rosalie!!" I screamed and threw my arms around her. She wrapped her arms around me and laughed. "Bella, it's been hell without you!"

Rosalie was another person who worked on the farm. She was gorgeous, even when she was covered in mud and scratched up. Her beautiful blonde hair flowed down to her hips which were perfectly curved in all the right places. She married Emmett a few years ago and we've been inseparable sisters since then.

She pulled back and smiled. "Bella, look at you! You look so mature! You're gorgeous!"

I blushed and looked down. Of course, this was all the workings of my friend, Alice. She cut the tips of my hair so that it was long, but layered and gave me side bangs. Then she would always forced torturous makeovers on me and give me all these 'Beauty tips' when I was around her. Don't get me wrong. I love Alice. She has been my best friend since I was in kindergarten. She never looked at the fact that she was rich and I was poor. She just came up to me and said, "OH! We are going to be the bestest of all friends. I just know it!!" And the rest was history…

"Yeah, Alice pretty much did all this." I said, waving my hand across my body.

Emmett smirked. "Alice! I haven't seen her in four years! How is she? Still perky?"

I rolled me eyes. "That's the understatement of the year."

Emmett chuckled.

I suddenly felt of soft hand on my shoulder and spun around to see Dr. Carlisle Cullen and his wife, Esme. They were like the parents Emmett and I never had. And, surprisingly, they thought of us as their own children as well. I couldn't imagine a better couple. Sometimes, I would wonder who my mother and father really were. But all Emmett told me was that they died in a car crash. It seemed like he was hiding something from me, but I never asked him. He was really touchy on the subject of our parents and I didn't like to see him sad. So I would just drop it.

"Mom! Dad!" I threw myself into Esme arms and hugged her tightly. "Bella! We all missed you so much!!"

I smiled and pulled back, turning to hug Carlisle too. He patted my back.

"Great to see you, Bells!" he said in his soft, British accent. "You look really different! How was college?"

"College was…fun." It was. Even though Emmett and Rosalie weren't there, I still enjoyed the constant jokes and pranks of the students.

Carlisle patted my back and took my luggage. Emmett took some other bags and we headed towards the car.

I looked up at the cloudy sky and smiled. Ah…back to sweet, sweet Forks.

I was sitting in my room with Rosalie, unpacking. We were sitting there reminiscing and laughing about all the past memories we had.

That was when I pulled my wooden horse out of the suit case. I clutched in close to myself and closed my eyes, remembering how I got this.

Flashback (Bella is 7 years old and Emmett and 16 years old)

"Leila!!" I squealed and ran to hug my horse.

"Bella, how was school?" Emmett came into the stall and gave me big bear hug. I hugged him back.

"It was good." I mumbled.

I turned back to Leila and stroked her nose. Leila was my favorite horse on the farm. Whenever I had spare time, I would always go riding with her. I named her Leila because it means "Dark Beauty" in Italian. And Leila is a dark brown horse and she's absolutely beautiful.

I led her out of the stall and we went for a ride. I noticed she was a little slower than usual. Maybe she was tired today. I let her go back to stall and fed her. After a few minutes, I went inside to do my homework.

The next morning, I woke up at 4:00 AM as usual to go riding with Leila. I skipped out to stall, humming an unknown tune to myself. I went to the stall and opened the door and gasped.

Leila was lying on the ground, motionless. I cried and tried to shake her to wake her up. But she still lay motionless. I tried to wipe my tears and ran back into the house. I went into Emmett's room and shook him and cried for him to wake up. He woke up and wiped the gunk out of his eyes. When he saw that I was crying, he pulled me into his arms and whispered soothing words. Once I calmed down, he asked me what was wrong.

I didn't say anything. Instead, I got up and pulled him outside to Leila's stall. When I opened the door, I pointed towards Leila's lifeless form and began bawling again.

Emmett stared in shock and held me close, while I soaked his shirt.

I didn't eat anything that day. I didn't even go to school. I just stayed in bed and sulked all day. Emmett tried to get me to eat and move around, but I didn't feel like doing anything.

After a few attempts of trying to get me to eat lunch, Emmett sighed and walked out of the room. I began to cry silently because now I felt guilty about making Emmett upset. I ruined his day.

A few hours later, Emmett walked in and placed a wooden item in my hands. I sniffled and looked down at my hands. I gasped. It was a dark brown wooden horse. It looked just like Leila and it was so pretty!

I looked up at Emmett. "You made this yourself?"

He smiled at me and nodded.

I squealed and threw my arms around Emmett. He laughed and hugged me back.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you, Emmett!! I love you!"

He laughed again and held me closer. "I love you too, Bella."

End Flashback

And since then I have always kept this horse with me. No matter where I go.

I sighed and kissed the nose of the horse and placed it on the side table.

"So," Rosalie started. "Met any guys in college?"

I sighed. Alice had tried to make me go man-hunting, but I politely declined. "Rose, you know I'm not like that. I'm not really interested and I wouldn't do that without Emmett's consent."

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Please, Bella. If I know my husband, he won't let you look at a guy until you're at least 28."

I laughed and looked down. "He knows what's good for me." I muttered.

Rosalie smiled and stroked my hair. "Yeah…he does."

"BELLA!!" I jumped and turned around to see a small hazel-eyed pixie staring right back at me with open arms.

"Oh my god! ALICE?!" I ran over to hug her. I pulled back and saw Emmett and walking in the room with a big grin. "Hey, Alice. How have you been? It's been a really long time."

Alice squealed and gave Emmett a hug. I smiled. Alice thought of Emmett as her own brother as well.

"Emmett! Just when I thought you couldn't get any bigger, here you are buffer than ever!"

Emmett and smiled and flexed his muscles. "You know it!"

I rolled my eyes and pushed his arm playfully.

I turned back at Rosalie to see her smiling. She walked over to Alice and gave her a hug. "Wow, Alice! It has been a long time. I love your new hair!"

Alice smiled and patted her spiky hair. "Thanks! I wanted to try something new and spontaneous."

I chuckled. Spiky hair was spontaneous.

"Well, Alice," I started. "We just got back from college. I didn't know you would miss me that fast!" I placed my hand over my heart to mocked a happy look.

Alice rolled her eyes. "Silly, Bella! I actually came here because I want you to come over to Port Angeles to my house."

I narrowed my eyes. "Why?"

"Well, remember when Jasper proposed to me in college?"

I nodded, remembering how she had been non-stop squealing the whole night. I didn't get any sleep that night because I was forced to listen to Alice gushing over the details of how Jasper had proposed to her and how great her wedding would be.

"I want you to come over to my house and stay, because the wedding is on June 24! Can you believe it?? That's only two weeks away. And you are going to be my bride's maid!! So I wanted you to come earlier to help me with wedding preparations."

I bit my lip and looked over at Emmett. He was trying to smile, but it didn't touch his eyes.

"Emmett?"

"Do you want to go, Bella?" he asked. There was a hopeful tint in his voice.

I looked down and fidgeted with the hem of my shirt. "If…it's ok with you?" I looked back up and saw Emmett walking towards me.

He stroked my hair. "If you want to go, then you can, Bella. It would be nice for you to go. I'll come on June 24 with Rose and see you then."

I bit my lip again. It was a habit I had when I was nervous or confused.

Alice began jumping up and down. "Come on, Bella! Come on, come on, come on!! You're my best friend!!"

I sighed and smiled. "Alright, Alice. I'll come with you"

She squealed and ran over to embrace me. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Bella!!" She turned around to hug Emmett and Rose and warned them that if they didn't come she would make sure they would meet the consequences. I chuckled and rolled my eyes. How can someone so small be so quirky?

I packed my clothes with the help of Alice and Rose, and held my wooden horse close to me. I looked up and saw Emmett face looking slightly sad, but he plastered a smile, nonetheless.

I sighed and threw myself into his arms. "Emmett, I'll see you in two weeks." Two long weeks…

"Bella" he stroked my hair. "Bella, two weeks will go by really quickly. You won't even have time to miss."

I tried to hide my tears, but one fell down my face, trickling down my cheek. I wiped it away quickly and blinked my tears back.

Emmett smiled softly and kissed my forehead. "Bye, Bells."

I hugged Rose and left with Alice.

Little did I know that two weeks in Port Angeles was all it took for my life to take a whole new path full of love, pain, and danger.

Edward's POV

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!"

"HEY, EDWARD. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST PARTY EVER!!" Zac had to scream over the blaring music.

"I KNOW! I RENTED THIS BOAT OFF THE INTERNET. IT SAID IT CAME WITH GIRLS TOO!!"

I smiled as the girls were walking around dancing.

My name is Edward Anthony Masen Jr., and I live in San Francisco, California. I'm 22 years old and majored in musical education. But that's not what I tell the chicks.

"Hey, I'm Edward. I'm twenty-two and major in hot babes like you." Then I'd run my hand through my hair and wink at them. It's the perfect way to get a girl. Trust me. It works all the time.

Suddenly, my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID.

Dad…

Crap.

I flipped my phone open and pressed it against my ear, so I could hear better.

"HEY DAD!"

"Edward?" he sounded confused and frustrated at the same time.

"HEY, HOW'S IT GOING, MAN?!" I tried to lighten up the situation.

"Edward Anthony Masen, are you throwing a party somewhere. And without me?!"

"HEY….AH…..DA….NO…..WOR…..I…..PHO…..DA….." My genius attempt to make it look like I wasn't getting really good reception.

"Edward shut up. I know you're faking this. Now find a way to get me to that party and away from your mother."

Ha, my dad was probably stuck with my mom doing chores for her.

"WHA….DA….DON…..YOU…..HUH…..CHHH….CHHHHH" And with that, I snapped the phone shut, satisfied with myself. Good job, Edward.

And now to enjoy my party…and these hot girls in bikini's…hmm…I think I'll go for the red head over there….

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Shut up!" I slammed my hand down on the alarm and buried myself into my blanket to get some more sleep. I had a serious hangover from last night's party. Ugh. I got up and went over to take a Tylenol. I brushed my teeth and used some mouth wash to get all the morning breath out of my mouth. I ran my hand through my hair and tried to smoothen out some places. I smiled at myself.

"Sexy as usual, Masen." I winked at my reflection and ran down the stairs.

I jogged into the dining room and saw my dad trying to reason with my mother. I ignored them and went to eat some toast and jelly.

"Elizabeth, we have so much money. It wouldn't hurt to donate some to people who don't…"

"I don't care about others who don't make money, Edward. That is their choice and their fate. We have a business at our hands and I don't want to do anything foolish to ruin that. Now stop worrying about charity, because we have a presentation to prepare for this evening."

Dad sighed and went back to his toast. It had always been like this. Dad would try to convince my mom to do something for the underprivileged people, and she would say she doesn't give a care about them and not to waste his time on them.

Mom finished, and went to work on the presentation.

I looked at my dad and chuckled. "Tough nut, eh dad?"

Dad glared at me for a second and went back to his food. "So, Edward. How was your party? Hm?"

I looked down, trying to hide my smile and looked up with an innocent expression. "What party?"

Dad smiled and punched my arm playfully. "You really are my son."

Brrrrrrrring….Brrrrrrrring…Brrrrrrrrrring…

My mom came into the room and looked at my dad. "The phone is right there, why don't you get it?" She didn't let him answer. She just walked over to the phone and yanked it off the charger.

"Hello." She said curtly. Suddenly her scowl turned into a smile.

"Gwen! How are you! It's been so long."

Aunt Gwen…that was Alice's mom, right? Yeah…it has been long. I hadn't seen Alice since we were beginning to learn our ABC's.

"Alice is getting married?? That' s great! Who is this guy?"

Mom grimaced, but put her smile back on. "She fell in love with a guy in college….That's…sweet."

Dad and I tried to had our laughter as Aunt Gwen explained how Alice met her groom-to-be and how he proposed. The whole time, my mom was murmuring ohh's and ahh's while she was trying to hide her discomfort.

"This Saturday? I'll come. You want me to bring little Edward, too?"

My dad coughed to muffle his laugh and I grimaced. The major disadvantage of being named after your father is that they have to call you "little" Edward. I was NOT little. I was a grown, hot man.

"Sure, I'll bring him. Bye. Tell Alice I said…congratulations."

I looked down to hide my smile. Good job, Alice.

So I'm meeting my little cousin this Saturday. This should be interesting. I hope she brings her hot friends along. Then we can have some real fun.

Ok, second chapter! Bella and Edward will meet eachother in the next chapter, and I now you guys will love it!!

Here's a preview...

I put part of the bracelet in my mouth, holding it with my teeth, so I don't lose that or break it. I sighed, frustrated. Who knew a bracelet could cause so much trouble?

Suddenly a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist and spun me around.

"ALLY!!"

WHAT?!
