A/N: Loved Breaking Dawn, but don't want to discuss it. This whole story is different from Twilight like completely. Alanis is nothing like Bella, which will make the Cullen's relationship with her so different.

Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight at all!

APOV:

This is creepy. Edward had a little grin as he motioned to the empty seat. I raised an eyebrow. What was up with his sudden mood change? "So, does any of this ring a bell?" Edward asked. "Ahh…I see you read all three books," I noted. "Yeah, it was interesting," his expression annoyed me. I was in a bad mood and his good mood was pissing me off. The lesson was annoying too. I was horrible at Science, of all forms. "Alanis, why don't you answer number one?" Crap. I was zoning in and out and when I read the question I had no clue what the answer was. I mean it's the first day why are questions being asked? "Alanis the answer?" My expression was a deer caught in the headlights.

"Science as a human endeavor," Edward whispered. I said the answer and Mr. Kralzer nodded in approval. "Thanks," I muttered to Edward. The rest of the day dragged on and I was now dreading the dinner. The final bell rang and I scurried out of my class and ran to my buggy. "This is your car?" Edward snuck up behind me. "Yeah and?" He laughed and walked to his Volvo, and drove off.

"Shit," I muttered to myself. I promised to get to Johanna as soon as possible, but there was traffic. The traffic was painful and I needed to see my little energizer. Whenever I was in a bad mood, she would pull me out and brighten up my day. Thankfully, I was near the front and the traffic quickened.

"Hi Alanis!!" Johanna squealed. "Hi baby," I smiled. "I'm not a baby," she pouted. I laughed and drove home. My dad had to work late so I was Johanna's chauffer. After her telling me who was her best friends and how the teacher favored her, I felt jealous. She was blessed with mom's outgoingness. When we got home she ran to the house and up to her room. "Wash up for dinner!" I yelled. She would be eating earlier, so my dad wouldn't have to worry about her. "What's for dinner?" 

she yelled back. After feeding her I got ready for my dinner with Edward. I just wore a simple spaghetti strap, dark wash skinny jeans, and some flats. I loved the cold and wanted to absorb as much as I could.

My dad came home a few minutes before seven, the time Edward was supposed to pick me up. "Hey Dad, how was work?"

"Adorable, they've been great," his face was beaming.

"So Dad, I'm gonna eat dinner with a friend…is that okay?" He was looking at me for a while, until his face softened. "Sure, what time?" "Five minutes," I said sheepishly. "So soon? Well have fun," I was glad that my Dad was so lenient. I heard his Volvo roll up and then I didn't want my Dad to meet him, so I said a speedy goodbye and rushed out the door and jumped in the car. Edward laughed at my speediness. "Someone's in a rush," he laughed. "HAHA…so where are we going?"

"A Barbeque place. What's with the clothes?" he asked. I didn't see what he meant, this what I would usually wear. He saw my confusion and answered my unspoken question. "Well, it's so cold and look at what you're wearing," he moved his hand up and down to show my outfit. "I like the cold; I don't know why though." We were close to the place; there was a big sign that said 'Roy's BBQ.' It looked good and not too many people considering it was Monday night. We pulled up to an empty space and went in. The host looked at me and then glared at Edward. That was weird. "Hello, welcome to Roy's BBQ! Just for one?" He totally ignored Edward! Edward then grabbed me protectively and almost growled, "Table for two, and I would like a booth in the corner." The guy looked terrified, and showed us to our table.

"That wasn't nice," I said. "He was thinking inappropriate things and I didn't like it," he answered back. "Still no reason to be rude," I said under my breath, even though I know he could hear me. I ordered the burger and fries. Edward of course said he would "share" with me. The soda tasted flat, but that was small compared to the questions I wanted him to answer. "Are you ready to answer my questions?" He tensed a little, but nodded. "Okay," I was thinking about how to say this, "what happened to Bella?" His face fell, but he answered anyway, "Bella never met me, well she did, but not like in the book. She was cold to me and when she met Mike, well they got engaged and married. She died a few years ago, and that's when I moved here." I couldn't believe it, the book was so off. "Wow," I breathed. Then my food came, and I just ate in silence. "Where did you move from?" I was slightly shocked to hear him talk. "We moved from Kissimmee." "Who's that little girl?" "Her name's Johanna, she's my little sister."

The whole evening went on like this I was a little sad as we walked to the car. "Where's your mother?" I stopped mid-step. "She died from cancer awhile ago." Tears fell down my cheeks as I sat in the car. "I'm so sorry," Edward whispered. I just shrugged it off, "It's okay." The car ride was quiet and I was grateful for that. Why wouldn't Bella want to be with Edward? Was she deranged, I mean she chose Mike.

"Edward you think I can go to your house?" He thought about it for awhile, but nodded. I dialed home and my Dad said I could go. The house wasn't quite like the book, but it did have a wrap-around porch, which I loved. Emmet was sitting out front, no doubt waiting for us. I bet Alice told him that I would be coming and he must want something to tease me about. I hopped out of the car and gave him a big hug. His face was confused. I stood on my tippy toes and whispered in his ear, "If you find one thing ,even though I know you won't, to tease me about I will hunt you down and hurt you." He had a scared look and I giggled and skipped into the house. I could hear Edward laugh loudly.

"Hello Alina, glad to meet finally meet you," Carlisle held out his hand. He was so cold, but I was expecting it. "Carlisle, she's evil!" Emmet yelled as he ran into the living room. "Evil?" he laughed. "She's so sweet." I smiled, "Yeah Emmet, I haven't a clue what you're talking about." He was dumbfounded. All he did was stutter. Alice attacked me with a hug. "I absolutely love you!" she squealed. "Why?" I laughed. "You shut Emmet up!" she smiled. With Alice it felt fun. "So," Rosalie flopped down on the couch, "How was dinner?"

"None of your business," Edward snarled. Wow, I wonder if he's still mad about the comment she made at lunch. I elbowed Edward in the ribs; it hurt me instead of him. "So how long can you stay?" Esme asked. "By now, my Dad is probably gonna go to bed," I checked my watch. "What does he do?" Carlisle asked. "He's a preschool teacher," I turned to sit on the inviting and soft couch. This couch was like heaven for my butt. "So what's your new names," I turned to Carlisle and Esme, "If you don't mind me asking?" They looked surprised at first. Of course I was going to ask that. "We don't mind," Esme smiled. "My new name is Chandra, and Carlisle's new name is Ridge."

If somebody told me that I would be at the Cullen's house chatting and laughing with them; I would tell them to get back on the meds they clearly stopped taking. This can't be broken. "Emmet, I can't believe you're scared of her," Edward said in between laughter. "Oh my god," I whispered. A few tears slipped down my cheeks. Edward grabbed my hands instinctively and had worry plastered on his face. "What's wrong?"

There was only one thought in my head. How could I be so stupid to not think of this?! "The Volturi," I cried.
