CHAPTER TWO: GREEN

Bella POV

Sometimes it doesn't matter how many times you do the same thing over again, but it's how much it means to you. That's why I insist on waking up earlier in the mornings to have breakfast with Charlie before he leaves for the station.

I have my own truck. But Edward wants to send me to school and I let him.

I like it.

We've been dating for a year now.

I think it all started when he caught me staring at him during English. Eyes, those green eyes. It's like they were speaking to me, luring me in.

But I think he could've been staring at me too. That's why he caught me staring back?

It's not important anyway, although I'm smiling to myself like a fool as I recall how we had our first kiss, the first time he held my hand.

Horn.

"What're you thinking about, Bella?"

Edward's voice. My favorite voice. He yelled from his car seat with his head stuck out of the window.

I chuckle and I can feel my cheeks heat up a little.

It's been a year but I still act as though it's the first day I agreed to be his girlfriend.

"Will you be my girlfriend, Bella?" he smiled, holding my hands gently.

I can feel my teeth sink into my bottom lip. I'm nervous. My heartrate is faster than a runner on his final sprint.

I nod, slightly.

He squeezed my hand a little, then wrapped his arms around my face.

"You're my girlfriend now, Bella."

"Yes," I choked.

"I like you, boyfriend" I giggle.

Edward cupped my cheeks and pressed his lips on my forehead.

"Just like?" he chuckles.

"Well, you better like me too," I kiss him back.

Bliss.

"You're thinking about me, aren't you?" he laughed.

"Just drive," I laugh along and punch him in the arm playfully.

Edward leans in for a brief kiss.

I smile so widely.

-#-#-#-

Mondays are my favorite, with English and Biology, my only classes with Edward.

I'm not a clingy girlfriend, but I like to keep my man within sight.

It's better than having him to sit with another girl like Jessica.

Don't get me wrong. I'm friends with her it's just that she wouldn't stop flirting with Edward and she makes it too obvious for me to ignore.

I'm not being possessive but which girlfriend in her right mind would like that?

But I trust Edward, a lot.

Edward is still my lab partner in biology and sometimes he still doubts me in class.

"Mind if I check?"

That memory when he was still acting weird around me is vivid.

But we have come such a long way from that and from what I learnt after, he was acting so strange because he was nervous around me.

If you had told me when I first met Edward that we were going to be together, this close, right now the way we are, fingers intertwined underneath the bench in the laboratory, I would've laughed so hard.

Things are very different now though and I'm very happy to have Edward in my life.

I hope the feelings are mutual.

"Bella," his velvety voice is soothing to my ears.

"Huh?"

I leaned towards him, just liking to be as close to him as I possibly can.

"What's on your mind? You've been thinking all day," he squeezed my hand.

I laughed. Softly. So that Mr Banner wouldn't be able to hear me.

"Well, I was just thinking about the first time we did lab together."

"It's too bad we're not studying about cell division then, huh?"

He laughed. I love it when it does that. So much.

-#-#-#-

The rest of school didn't take too long to pass. I'm not the kind who didn't like school but well, I was a little more excited about going to Port Angeles tonight with Edward and his family, and their girlfriends.

Surprisingly, I got along with them pretty well. Edward's brother Emmett is two years older than Edward so he's in college now, along with his girlfriend Rosalie. Emmett decided to stay close to the Cullen family so he decided to go to Med School at Washington University. I can never imagine him as a doctor but Edward thinks otherwise. Thankfully Carlisle is on my side. Nevertheless, he's still very proud of his son.

As for Edward, Dr. Cullen, the older one, would like to see him become a doctor too. It's been Edwards dream to become one anyway and he's talked about it many times. I try to help him when he gets too stressed up with his classes, especially all the AP ones that he's taking.

The problem is, I have no idea what I want to do.

I hear about Rosalie and Emmett talk about college life on the dinner table, stirring up the excitement especially for Alice and Edward. Alice wants to study fashion by the way, which is not a surprise at all. So it's just Jasper and I, watching them.

"Have you thought about college, Bella?" It's Rosalie.

I mean, of course I've thought about it but I haven't really decided on anything. I was decent at school, but definitely not stellar enough to get me into any Ivy Leagues. Not that I was aiming for any of them.

Don't get me wrong, I aim high. I did think about becoming a journalist.

"Well, I'm sort of into investigation and all that… like crimes. But I don't think I'd make a good police officer…"

I think about my dad and all the stories he's told me about when I was growing up. How he managed to nab those thieves, and raided a few places, like the strip club right opposite the restaurant that we're having dinner at.

"Then what?" Oh gosh, Alice's eager voice.

"Maybe an investigative journalist or something? Writing's always been my forte," I smiled, but a little embarrassed for admitting that. "I mean, don't undermine the power of words."

I may have gotten too serious with that one. It's all awkward now but I think they are used to that by now.

So Jasper is the youngest of the Cullen kids, a year below Edward. It's funny how Alice and I are the same age and he's dating an older girl. But that man is entirely pussy whipped I tell you. Alice is very lucky to have him as he is lucky to have her.

Alice's been really close to me since I moved to Forks from Arizona with my dad. I was uncomfortable with the new environment and we have a few classes together so she offered to show me around the school.

She was definitely more welcoming than Edward when I first met him.

Hearty dinners like these always made my night. It's never about what we eat but about the company. It's been awhile since we had dinner with Emmett and Rosalie. Or even Edward and I. I try to have dinner with my dad most of the time. I can tell that he gets lonely a lot.

I hugged tightly onto Edward's arm as we said our goodbyes.

"Ed, you're not going home yet?"

Gosh, Emmett needs to give Edward a break. Bu alright, he is being a good brother.

"Nu-uh, not yet," and Edward smirked at me.

I giggled, leaning closer to him to breathe in his scent.

He always smells good. Always.

"So, what do you have in mind then, Mr Cullen?"

"Why don't we keep it as a surprise?"

I don't know if I like surprises or not, although Edward never disappoints.

"It better be good," I punched him lightly on his arm.

He's smiling. I'm smiling.

We walk past the strip club I was talking about and that stench of cigarettes that filled my senses is unbearable. I guess I'm just not used to it. But thereafter, Edward leads me into the woods.

There is a light source deep within and we are following it. "What's it, Edward?"

"Shh, this is supposed to be slow and romantic." And Edward plants a kiss onto my forehead as I felt warmth amidst this cold forest. The word blissful comes to my mind again as Edward's hand held on to mine tightly, giving me the security I needed.

The forest isn't where I'm most comfortable at, obviously. I didn't know Edward knew the way around here either. He'd brought me to the meadow before and it had become our place. I love the flowers during spring and summer that calmed me down. It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen.

But now Edward is bringing me to a place where gives me an absolutely opposite feeling, but he overpowers that insecurity and fear with his touch. Ever so warm. And as we walk, the light gets brighter and brighter and I can feel my heartbeat speed up, feeling nervous about what I was about to see.

"Are we there soon?" My voice filled with anticipation and my heart is beating faster with each second.

"Close your eyes, Bella."

"Fine. If you can make sure I won't fall down. You know how clumsy I am."

"Never, love."

His hand grew tighter on mine, each step with the appearance of what looks like a tent is what we approach, glowing amidst the dark night like the moon hanging in the sky. It was illumination.

"This is where we'll be spending the night at," he smiled at me, holding tightly onto my hand.

I think I must have smiled so widely too at the sight of what that is before me.

"You built this, for me? Oh my god, this is… beautiful."

"It's worth it, to see that smile on your face."

With that we sat down inside the tent, on the carpet on it with his iPad in one corner, "We're going to watch The Notebook," Edward proposed. I could only nod in return.

There was no better way to reciprocate him that to hug him tightly and closely to me, to all ourselves to be neatly intertwined together. I planted a soft kiss on his cheek, "Thank you."

-#-#-#-

I didn't know how long it took for me to fall asleep the moment he played the movie but it should've taken me awhile to wake up. The sky is still dim, it should be still early in the morning.

Tired, I rubbed my eyes to regain a clearer sight of what's around me. I got out of the tent, only to be met with trees after trees around me. I pierced through the greens, stumbling through the unevenly caved routes, as I recalled how Edward and I got in.

Seeing signs of civilization is definitely relieving to me, especially for the fact that Edward's car is still there. He must have gone to get me some breakfast or something. I sure hope so, Edward's pretty fond of doing that. He's done that a couple of times before, when I find myself with breakfast in bed during some mornings during the weekends.

I leaned against his car, that gave me a perfect view of a sleazy strip club right in front of me, the one that I saw last night.

Danny's Girls.

How much more obvious can they get.

I look around the place, watching my surroundings, trying to spot Edward. Hopefully he'd come back soon and we can pack the tent up together.

All I can think about is the bad morning breath that I might have.

But in this moment when the chirping birds broke the silence, I see a girl. A girl, in heels and her arms hugging herself, presumably protecting herself from the chilly morning air, is in a green pullover. Her fishnet stockings give her occupation away. Her brown hair is disheveled and covering her face. But her petite build and clumsiness makes me want to go over to help her.

I looked around to see if Edward was close but he wasn't. I took a few steps forward to approach the girl who looked like she could use some help. She seems unfamiliar too, even for Port Angeles. "Hey, do you need any help?" she looks up at the sound of my words, flipping her hair back for the very first time.

Oh my goodness…

I don't know if that slipped out of my mouth too.

"Fuck!" I heard her yelp, taking a huge leap but backwards.

This… she…. She… looks just like me. I can't… What's happening?

I think she's in utter shock as well, with her mouth agape. She looks just like me, but she's really skinny. It's as though she hasn't eaten in days. And her hair, it's the same color as mine is but it's dry. I'm not Alice, the one who knows so much about how to make our hair look good but oh god.

"Calm down, I'm freaking out too," yeah why do I have to tell her to calm down when I need help with that myself.

I sink my teeth into my bottom lip but I see her doing the same too.

I don't know what else to say but to stare at the girl who looks just like me before me. She's as stunned as I am and just when she's about to turn around, the velvety voice of Edward rings.

"Bella?"

I turned around at the sound of his voice as he runs over to me.

"Holy shit…" I heard him say as he stands between us, having a close focus on the both of us. I bet he sees two of me.

But thank goodness he knows that I'm me and looks to his left, intertwining his fingers with mine.

"Bella, who's this?" he asked with a deep crease between his brows.

"I have no idea," I truthfully don't.

The girl's just about to walk away when Edward held her by the arm.

"Leave me the fuck alone!" she bellowed, and flung Edward's grip away.

I have to know who she is, there's must be a reason why there's someone who looks exactly the way I do. All that could come to my mind is that she's my sister? A twin? How? I never knew about anything like that? I couldn't have a sister. Charlie never mentioned about me having a sibling before. He would have, he never kept secrets from me.

Oh shit…

"Edward, send me home."

"Don't you want breakfast? I bought you waffles."

My forehead rests in my palm with a thousand fragmented thoughts racing through my mind.

"It's fine, I… I need to talk to Charlie."

There you go! I'm sorry for taking this long to update this chapter. I don't know when I'll be able to update the next since I'm pretty overwhelmed with school at the moment but I'll try my best. This chapter is slightly shorter than the first but I'll try to keep up. I hope you like the Edward/Bella moments. Next chapter should be both Bella's and Mallory's POV.

Leave me reviews to let me know what you think!
