Last part of chapter 1

"Edward it isn't very fair…..drive to the beach." I knew she said something else but I couldn't hear her since only Edward could. He smiled and pulled out.

As Edward drove with only one hand on the staring wheel and two eyes on me he asked me many questions about the beach and why we were going.

"How long is this party Bella?" Edward's eyes were a golden color from late last night when he left me to take care of his business; he knew that some how I would get him to come today so he left.

"Not to long I promise, it starts at 6:00 and will end no later then 10:00. Unless we stay and just hang out on the beach for awhile. When is the rest of the gang coming to meet us?"

"I told Rosalie and Jasper to meet us there at 6:30; I think Emmett is coming too so it will be an interesting party!" Alice jumped up and down in her seat. Edward took my hand in his and crossed his cold fingers into mine.

Not to long after that Edward pulled into a parking spot in front of the beach as came around to my side and opened my door for me. Alice flew out and danced around Edward and me as if she was playing ring-around-the-Edward and Bella. It made me very dizzy quickly.

"Are we ready yet?" You could tell that Alice didn't get out as much as she pleased.

"Yes just let me grab my bag, it has my towel and everything in it." She ran over to the car before I could take another step.

"I got it now let's go!" She skipped around to the sidewalk and watched impatiently for Edward and me to follow.

"Come on, before she kills someone!" The phrase made my heart beat a few times faster than it should but I made it quite before Edward could notice…..I didn't succeed! Edward picked me up and cradled me as he followed Alice.

"I didn't scare you did I? Because if I did I'm sorry." Edward asked as he held me closer to him.

"Not at all….well…maybe a little, but I'm fine. But I'm really hungry all of a sudden!" I held my stomach with my hand as I felt the pain from not eating since Edward took me out to breakfast.

"Don't worry; I'll take care of it." Before long we came to a large party. Almost every kid from our class was there running around and jumping off anything that they could find. Before Edward had placed me down onto the sandy floor I heard Jessica calling my name.

"Hi Jessica!" I said once I felt the cool sand between my toes.

"Hey, have you seen Mike yet?" The sound of his name made Edward growl but thankfully Jessica didn't hear. I elbowed Edward in the side knowing that he probably didn't even notice.

"I don't think I'm going to be hanging out with Mike a lot today." Jessica looked at me questionably but didn't ask why.

Out of no where Edward handed me a sandwich from Subway and a small lemonade to go with it.

"Where did you get this Edward?" I knew that he hadn't stopped at Subway on the way here.

"From Subway silly." Edward looked into my eyes and then winked at me, I knew then that he had just ran all the way to Subway to get me a sandwich. He was so cute when he winked. Well I was hungry so I opened it to see what kind of sandwich it was. It was today's special the Italian BMT.

"Thank you Edward, would you like half?" He looked at me as if I had forgotten something. I gave him a quick small evil smile and took a bite of the sandwich.

"I would but you know I hate Lettuce."

"Really?" He then mimicked the smile I gave him before and grabbed my free hand. "No" He whispered. Just then I heard an annoying sound of a guys voice….who was that? The ringing of the boy saying my name made me want to cover my ears. And once I could see the face of the boy I turned bright red, it was Mike. Ooppss, I guess I must now think of him as an annoying boy. I began to feel bad.

"Bella, I have been looking for you all over! Where have you been?" I looked at Mike and wished that a giant dinosaur would come by and eat him so I wouldn't have to talk to him, I waited but my wish never came true. (Darn)

"I've been right here." I said.

"Oh well, do you think I can talk to you Bella." Edward then stepped in and Answer for me.

"She's eating right now Newton." He said not so politely.

"Oh…ok then." Mike stepped back from what he must have thought was a giant dinosaur. "Um, I'll talk to you later then Bella."

"Ok" I said nicely but also quietly so I wouldn't hurt Mike more than Edward and I had already.

Edward pulled me to a long log and sat me down next to him. As I ate the rest of my sandwich I stood up and pulled Edward to his feet. He took me into his arms and danced with me to the slow song that was playing on the large stereo that someone brought.

"I really do like that hat on you." Edward looked deeply at me and I felt my cheeks go warm. I then could hear my heart screaming at me to say something so Edward didn't think that I didn't appreciate his comment.

"Thank you Edward." I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. As Edward twirled us around I surprisingly never felt dizzy. I then opened my eyes when the slow song was over but Edward never moved from the position we were in. So we continued to slow dance to the fast music. Many people looked at us as if we were crazy or maybe they were jealous.

"Um, Edward….sorry but we all need your help." A sort blonde guy ran up to Edward and me.

"What's up Dylan? Why are you all red?" Dylan was a sort blonde kid that was in the same grade as me but I seemed to never notice him.

"Dude are you afraid of heights?"

"Is that a trick question?" Edward let go of me and I stepped off of his feet. He looked at Dylan in confusion.

"No, You know Becky right?"

"Yeah I guess…."

"Well she and some other girls thought it would be funny if they tried to climb a tree, well they got stuck! We need someone like you to help them." Edward started to laugh uncontrollably.

"They got stuck? Ok stay right here Bella and I will be right back. Don't move!" I nodded and watched as Edward and Dylan ran off to a tree not to far.

"Bella…do you think I can talk to you know?" It was Mike; he looked as if he was for some reason afraid of me. I didn't like feeling of Mike being afraid of me, it made me feel really bad for him since he was still kind of my friend even if I heard something that may break up our friendship about an hour ago.

"Yeah, sure lets sit down though." I walked over to an empty log and turned to Mike as he sat down next to me. A little too close if you ask me. "So what do you need to talk to me about?

"Um, well it's kind of about Jessica and some about you." Mike looked down at his feet as if he was still to afraid to talk to me. Boys!

"Ok?" I said.

"I'm not so sure if I really like Jessica Bella. I mean she's a really great person but I don't know if I really like her…..I think I like someone else." He then very shyly looked up to me. I blushed and looked out at the dark blue water; I didn't like Mike like that AT ALL! I felt my stomach start to turn and wished that Edward would come and save me.

"Well…I know that Jessica likes you a lot Mike and she's really pretty."

"I know but not as pretty as you are." He covered his mouth and turned redder than I think I have ever. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that!" After a few moments of a very awkward silence he spoke again. "But that's the thing Bella; she will never leave me alone I feel like she is suffocating me."

"I'm sorry." I was trying not to listen anymore; I knew that Edward should be coming any second. But they seconds ticked by without Edward returning. Please come Edward…hurry I can't stand this any more.

"Bella, I don't know if you know this or not…..but I have liked…no Loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. I know you and Edward but…" He said Edwards name very rudely and snotty. I glared at Mike hoping that he would get the picture.

"Mike I'm sorry but I love Edward, and there's no way we are going to break up or anything."

"Please Bella, I need you." Mike started to lean closer to me but was stopped by being pulled into the air. Edward.

He pulled Mike up to eye level and gave Mike the most evil and hatred look I had ever seen. "Newton if you don't run as fast as your puny legs can take you and leave my sight once I put you down, I swear! Oh Newton I swear I will personally beat your ass until you can't walk for days! Edward threw Mike to the floor and Mike stumbled up and surely ran as fast as he could down the beach.

"Edward." I ran to Edward but was picked up and thrown over his shoulder. "I'm sorry" I cried. We were at the car in a heart beat. He sat me down in my seat and kneeled down to me.

"Don't be Bella; I just need to leave before I track that bastard down and skin him alive for doing that to you." Edward leaned over and very softly put his frozen lips to my forehead. I didn't move knowing how angry and how frustrated he was.

Edward stayed very still with his lips to my forehead for what seemed like forever. The feeling of him touching me made me want to scream with joy but also turn as red as Mike did before. But when he did leave my skin I wanted more than ever for him to come back to me.

Edward got into the car and seemed less infuriated as he was before but still a little irate. As he pulled out without Alice,Rosalie,Emmette and Jasper I took his hand and held it to try to mke him feel beter with the warmth of my skin.

"Edward I shouldn't have let him talk to me, I'm very sorry." Edward looked at me and tried to smile but it came out as a….a weird face. But still beautiful.

"Bella you didn't do anything, it's not your fault….but please talk about something else. I can't think about him." Edward looked back to the road ahead of us. Trees were flying pass us and the yellow lines looked as just one long line. What could I talk about at a time like this?

"Um, Charlie told me earlier that he has to work the nightshift tonight so maybe we can do something fun later on or maybe just hang out."

"Like what?" He asked.

"I don't know, its fun just hanging out at your house with you and everyone else. I enjoy hanging out with the whole family a lot." I looked over at Edward to see if he was aright with my idea. He smiled and held my hand tighter.

"Thank you Bella." He said slowly and softly.

"For what?" For liking his family? For not kissing Mike? Was he saying thank you since I had talked about something else or was it just because I loved him?

He paused for a moment and then answered but not the question I had asked.

"I think that today will be a great day for us to do something." He said as we pulled into my driveway right next to my old red truck. "Let's get your things ready to spend the night with Alice."

"Ok" I got out of the car and walked to the door and unlocked it. As I walked in everything was exactly how I left it. "I'll go make my….Edward, where are you?" I looked all around me but couldn't find Edward. Where has he gone this time?

"You're bag is packed." Edward handed me a small black duffle bag full of clothes and bathroom supplies. I took it and stood on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you." I peeked inside and saw a pair of thin blue silky pajamas that Alice once again bought for me. I knew that it was going to be cold tonight but I didn't say anything. I then put the duffle bag on the counter and found a sheet of paper that I could write on. I then wrote Charlie a note.

Dad,

It's about 8:00 and we came home from the beach early. Everything is fine, Alice invited me to spend the night at her house so since you are going to be out I though it would be fine. If you need anything you know the phone number. I love you and I promise I will call you in the morning.

-Bells

I stuck the note in the middle of the table and made sure I didn't forget anything that I would need later on tonight.

"Edward did you grab a hair brush for me?"

"Yes, are you ready?" I looked around one more time and nodded.
