Edwards shocked face looked blurry through my tears. I stormed into his house, I was done being sad now I was pissed. Who the hell jumps out of a window after saying something seemingly impossible. But then again nothing is impossible.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I asked, angry tears slid down my cheeks. Edwards expression changed, he looked disappointed but then he looked blank, his expression reminded me of that of a dead person. I shook away the thought.

"Bella" he sighed. "I wasn't lying, I am a vampire. I know how" Edward started but I cut him off.

"I know, you are a vampire, ok. I was talking about you leaping out of my window right after you told me" I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him. Stupid vampire.

"What? You believe me, just like that." Edward asked.

"No, I'm not an idiot. I've known a long time. Its only fair you know. You know about me and I know about you, just secretly." I shrugged.

"What? And you didn't say anything?! You still stayed with me?" Edward looked a little mad now too.

"yes" it seemed the obvious answer, I am here now.

"Why, Bella why?" Edward didn't seem as happy as I imagined him to be.

"You didn't leave me, why would I leave you" it wasn't really a question though.

"Bella, that's different! You are different. I am a monster Bella, a real monster!" he growled at me. I gasped, how dare he call himself a monster.

"Edward! You don't fucking know what a monster is! There are worse things in the world then some guilty vampire. Do you remember anything about me!? About Andrew? You have no idea what he has done, not a fucking clue. Edward that man I shot, that guy is the monster." I got up into his face, the anger tears rained down my face.

"I don't think you understand anything about monsters Edward. I killed a human being, does that make me a monster? I don't know, ok I have no fucking idea. If you're a monster then guess what Edward, so am I!"

"You can't be a monster Edward. It's not possible. I don't care what the hell you are, you could be the devil and I still won't see you as a monster. God damn it Edward." I stomped my foot on the ground. The tears rolled off my face I stared at the floor. Edward put two fingers under my chin and lifted my face so I had to look at him.

"I'm sorry Bella, I didn't think. I of course still don't understand a thing about you" Edward muttered the last part. I sighed.

"I don't need your pity, and I don't want it. I am sorry though, I didn't mean to blow up on you… but you are an idiot" I told him.

"Its alright Bella, I can see your point. Why don't we sit down and talk" Edward motioned to big plush couch. I nodded and plopped down.

"How did you know about me… being a vampire?" Edward asked carefully.

"Jacob told me old legends, me mentioned your family." Edwards jaw tightened slightly, I was suddenly worried about Jacob. "he didn't think anything of them, just trying to distract me by telling stories. It was a couple days before everything happened" I hastily explained.

"What did he tell you?" Edward asked.

"Nothing except you're a vampire" I shrugged.

"Did he tell you our diet?" Edward looked confused and worried.

"just that its blood" I didn't look at him.

"So you think I drink human blood. Kill people?" Edward asked, he seemed almost amused.

"I guess that was the image I got when he mentioned blood and vampires" is that not obvious? Edward surprised me by laughing loudly. I looked at him confused and slightly annoyed.

"Bella I can not believe you would still allow me near you while under the ridiculous assumption that I slaughter who knows how many people who knows how often" Edward shook his head still chuckling.

"What" I asked utterly confused now.

"Bella, my family and I feed off of animal blood. We try out best not to kill innocent people" Edward told me seriously.

"Oh" was all I could say, I couldn't even describe the rush of relief through me. I let out a breath of air. It was like a weight I didn't even know I was holding was lifted from my body. Edward chuckled again and shook his head slightly grinning.

Edward told me about vampires, about him and his family. It was strange all of the things about him that I was so oblivious too. It also felt nice knowing so much about him, it was almost like there were no secrets. Almost. I felt guilty knowing I am keeping things from him still, even after he spilled his own little secret.

Edward was talking passionately about something but I was too lost in his beautiful features to understand what his perfect voice was saying. His soft honey eyes were better than air. They were filled with some wonderful emotion I couldn't exactly place.

I felt so guilty for keeping things from him while here he sat telling me his most private secrets. Ones no one outside his family could know, or ever would. With the exception of me of course.

I just cant tell him though, not yet. Maybe even not ever, I wish no one would ever have to know that's becoming more and more of an impossibility though. It seems the world would love to know.

I wonder what they are saying. About me, all of the news stations, them must know something because I did get flowers from them. Just then I noticed Edward had stopped talking. I wonder how long he has been quiet, how long didn't I notice.

"I'm sorry I was thinking about something" I blushed and looked down.

"care to enlighten me?" Edward asked in an amused tone.

"I was wondering about the media, about what they know about all of this" I questioned chewing my bottom lip slightly.

"Oh" Edward frowned slightly.

"do you know?" I asked him. Edward shook his head, I pursed my lips.

"I want to know" I muttered quietly, I sounded like a sulking child even to myself.

"why?" Edward asked, I didn't even think he could hear me, I could hardly hear me. Oh right, vampire.

"I'm not entirely sure. I just want to know what they know so I don't accidently tell them anything I guess" I shrugged. Edward nodded.

"I'll be right back, stay here please" Edward told me, I nodded. Only a couple seconds later Edward returned cradling a black rectangle with a cord hanging out of it. Edward set the lap top down on the coffee table and plugged it into the wall quickly.

"We can always find out" Edward said reluctantly. I smiled at him to show my gratitude. Edward opened the lap top and opened a search engine. He pushed the lap top towards me. Hesitantly I typed in Andrew Mort in the bar. Edward who was looking over my shoulder laughed once without humor. I turned to him confused.

"You know what Mort loosely translates to in Italian? Death, ironic isn't it" Edward spat. " Edward shook his head. I half smiled, that is strange. Strange in a creepy way of course, but slightly interesting.

I turned back to my internet search. The point .08 seconds seemed to stretch as I waited for the page to load. Headlines filled the page in big bold fonts; I could see some of them had pictures. Of Andrew, me of course and even some of Andrew and me in our early days.

The news had no idea what is going on so I guess they started making things up. Well some of them have it almost right. This didn't really help though. I can't really say anything without giving something away though. That's fine though because I am the master secret keeper.

I turned towards Edward and smiled. He glanced at the bright computer screen and raised his eyebrow. I laughed slightly. I must seem so strange to him.

"They don't know a thing" I let him in on my though process. It seemed only fair considering he can't read my mind, it still is so strange that he can actually do that. I am amazingly grateful that he can't read mine.

I wonder what he would think about it. No, I shook my head banishing the thoughts before they formed in my mind. I don't think about that, it only makes it harder. If I don't think about it, then it never happened.

"What's wrong Bella?" my smile must have fallen, Edward looked very concerned. Oh, I'm crying. The little wet drops slid down my cheeks, betraying me.

I shook my head not trusting my voice enough. I bit the inside of my lip trying to keep my face straight. I felt so guilty, it was like a massive pit of guilt in the center of my body. Not only for keeping this from him, but for not preventing it.

"Bella" Edward murmured and pulled me into a cool hug, I sighed and wrapped my fingers around his shirt leaning my head into his chest where his heart beat should be, I could only hear his even breaths. I closed my eyes and concentrated on his breathing.

The shrill ring of the phone snapped me out of my sleeping state, I jumped in Edwards amrs. Edward's long ghostly pale arm stretched out and grabbed the phone from the coffee table. He clicked the button and took the phone up to his ear.

"Hello?" Edwards perfect voice asked. "Yes, she's right here" Edward told who ever and handed me the phone. I unclenched my fist of his shirt and took the phone after stretching my fingers.

"Hello?" I said uncertainly.

"Bella?" Charlie's voice cackled over the phone.

"Oh, hi dad" I spoke more confidently now.

"What are you doing?" Charlie asked, sounding like he was trying to know more I guess. Not wanting to let the Andrew situation happen again.

"Watching a movie" I glanced at the black tv screen. Would Charlie really want to know that I was having a slight breakdown and curled up against Edwards chest.

"Oh, well Renee had to go to a hotel in Port Angles. It's the closest one though" Charlie said gruffly.

"Why—oh Lady" I said remembering that Renee is allegoric to dogs. In all of the confusion I guess I forgot.

"Well, um see you tonight Bells" Charlie said awkwardly. I smiled, he never has been one for showing affection.

"See you dad" I told him and hung up the phone handing it back to Edward. Edward tossed it onto a different couch. I wiggled around so I was more comfortable, I ended up sitting at the end of the couch with Edwards arm around my shoulders. I had my head against his chest, I looked up at him and smiled, he grinned down at me.

"Bella!" I heard a higher pitched musical voice sing my name, I turned around to see Alice dancing towards me. I smiled at her, her grin expanded wider than I thought possible. Her happiness made me smile.

"Lets watch a movie!" Alice called as she plopped down next to Edward. Edward rolled his eyes. I had to laugh a little, they were such siblings even if not by blood.

"Alright, what movie do you want to watch?" I asked her.

"I don't care you pick" Alice answered still grinning. I turned towards Edward.

"You pick," I told him, Edward glanced at Alice for a second before turning back to me a slight smile on his face.

"Alice wants to watch Nightmare Before Christmas" Edward told me, I had to laugh Alice pouted for a second before regaining he cheerfulness.

"good choice Alice" I told her still smiling. She grinned and jumped up skipping over to put the movie in.

"I knew you would like it" she sang. Alice spun gracefully and threw herself back onto the couch.

"Would you like some popcorn Bella?" Edward asked, my brow furrowed in confusion.

"why do you have popcorn?" I asked after a second of contemplation. Edward chuckled, Alice answered before he could compose himself.

"It would look a bit strange if we never got any food would it, especially with people as big as Emmett living here. People always assume he eats a lot" Alice giggled, I laughed too.

"no thanks about the popcorn though" I spoke quickly after I finished laughing. Alice just shrugged. The movie started though. We all leaned back into the couch to watch. Only a couple seconds into the movie Alice sighed and paused it.

"Emmett!" Alice called a little above normal volume. Edward started chucking I looked at him in confusion. Emmett sulked into the room dragging his feet, glaring at little Alice.

"What" Emmett spat out, Edward was full out laughing now. I was still just as confused as ever.

"Lights" Alice motioned towards the ceiling; Emmett groaned dramatically and switched off the lights.

"Anything else Alice?" Emmett snapped. Alice grinned and shook her head happily. Emmett slouched out of the room. Alice waited a couple seconds after he left the room to open her mouth again.

"Emmett?" Alice called sweetly. I could hear a loud exasperated groan coming from upstairs and loud stomping footsteps coming down stairs. Emmett was before Alice before I took in my next breath.

"Aliceeee" he whined, it was amusing to see someone so huge whine at such a little person. "What do you want now?" he dragged out the words over dramatically.

"I need a pillow" Alice chirped. Emmett was gone for half a second and back with a sky blue pillow. Alice pursed her lips tightly.

"I wanted the pink one" Alice said looking very innocent. Emmett half yelled half roared. Esme was downstairs in a second glaring disapprovingly at both of them.

"Alice, Emmett" she said warningly. I smiled. Vampires or not they are a family. Alice smiled at Esme and turned back to the tv. Emmett stomped out of the room gripping the pillow in his massive hand.

"Emmett! My pillow" Alice yelled after him. The blue pillow was a blur as it flew through the air.

"Thanks" Alice called sweetly. Alice looked towards me seeing my confused expression.

"he lost a bet" she said then turned back towards the tv and played the movie. I laughed, it was such a normal response it surprised me. I almost expected it to be some strange vampire thing. The movie was good. It was even better watching it from Edwards's arms. They laughed especially hard when the vampires appeared on the screen clad with bat wings and all.

Edward pulled me up with him after the movie ended, my legs were asleep so they gave out as soon as he put me on my feet. Edward caught me before I hit the ground of course he was already chuckling.

"Bella, what will I do with you?" Edward asked grinning, I had to smile back. Edward lead me out to his Volvo opening my door for me like the gentleman he is. We drove surprisingly slow to my house, well slow for Edward it was still slightly above the speed limit.

"Bella, reporters are outside your house" Edward turned to me frowning. I sighed and leaned back against the seat. I had assumed they might do this.

"I cant be seen by reporters, someone might notice me and see that I haven't changed in 20 years" Edward frowned. I nodded, that would make things a bit more complicated. Sure enough when Edward stopped in front of my house a big white van was stopped across the street.

"By Edward, see you later" I told him quietly before stepping out of the car.

"Goodbye Bella" His velvet voice whispered just before I closed the door. As soon as I stepped out of the car, a woman and a man holding a camera came out of the van both jogging to get to me before I reached my front door.

I glanced at them but didn't slow down, I wasn't walking fast though, just my normal speed.

"Isabella Swan?" the clicking sound of her kitten heels on the concrete slowed down as she neared me.

"Call me Bella" I said as a reflex. I was internally cursing myself for saying anything.

"Can we have a second of your time to clear up any misconceptions?" the woman asked the camera man stepped closer.

"I'm tired, I am going to go to bed now" I told her then started walking away.

"Bella think about all of Andrews friends in Phoenix, they want to know what happened to him. You are keeping this from them" She called to me, I kept walking though.
