How Jacob knows about the Cullens: Billy talks loudly on the phone when he is talking with Charlie. The subject of the Cullens came up one night and Jacob over heard it. Jacob didn't know about Edward killing people or if they really were vampires, he just brought it up because he wanted to scare Bella into living with him and Billy.

at Hannah: You are coming in shortly.

Quick fact: I based little Bella off of my 6 year old cousin. lol


The day passed more slowly now because of the rift between Jacob and me. I couldn't wait to go home now and I hopped that Edward would be one of the first people in line for the pick up.

"Bella Swan." My teacher called with an annoyed voice.

"Yes Mrs. Thomson?" I asked.

"Well, you know the answer to 7 plus 3?"

I looked up at the board. We were working on Adding and Subtraction.

"10." A voice whispered to me. I looked over at a boy with light brown curly hair and a scar near his right eye. His name was Chris. He came in the middle of the year and most of the girls liked him. There was a rumor going around that he liked me, but I don't think that's true, he was too cute to like me.

"10." I answered Mrs. Thompson. "Thanks, Chris." I smiled to him.

"Any time." He smiled back.

The class continued and I stayed more alert. Pretty soon the day was over and it was time to head home.

"Do you think we'll be able to see Edward?" Lilly asked.

I gave her a 'are-you-kidding-me' looked and replied. "Don't tell me you like him! Lil's, we're only 6. He's like 11 years older then us!"

"No! Not like that! I just wanna know what he looks like!" She gasped then turned the attention to me. "Do you like Chris?"

Well that caught me off guard. "What?"

"You liking Chris? Is it true?"

"Why? Does he like me?"

"I think so."

"Well that's crazy talk."

We were finally outside. Lilly and I joined our group of friends.

"Do you see his car?" Ally asked me. I looked around in the carpool line his car was the first one in line. How did I know that it was going to be like that?

"He's the first one up." I said. As I was turning around to my friends I spotted a red truck, Jacob's father's red truck. "You want to come with me to the car?"

"Why?" Sarah asked.

"To see Edward!" Lillly giggled.

I picked up my bag and walked quickly to the silver car at the head of the line. Edward rolled down the window as I came to the car with my friends.

"Are you Edward?" Ally asked, ducking to see his face.

Edward just nodded and popped the trunk. I put my stuff in and got into the back of the Volvo.

"Bye girls! See you tomorrow!" I waved and smiled, trying not to make it look cheesy.

"Why are you dropping off and picking up Bella?" Ally asked before glaring at me.

Edward looked at her this time. "Her mother was promoted and works a little later now so I pick her up and drop her off. Now if you'll excuse us, I really need to be getting her home." He said as he rolled up the windows.

We began driving home. For the first few minutes it was silent but Edward broke it by asking me how my day was.

"Jacob Black said that his dad was going to make me move to their home." I said in a worried tone. My eyes started to fill with tears. Even though I haven't been with the Cullens for more then a day I didn't want to leave them. I knew that they were good people, or vampires and I didn't want to believe what Jacob said about Edward. There was no way a vampire who would save someone could be capable of killing so many people.

"Well, would you like to stay with them instead of us?" Edward asked. He sounded hurt in a way, which reflected back to me.

"No! Jacob is gross and mean to me!" A tear glided down my face.

"Then I won't let him take you." The hurt tone changed to a more determined one and I felt a lot safer.

The quick drive to home was over. I jumped out of the car and ran inside with my back pack up to Edward's room.

As I was running up the steps, the doorbell rang and I froze.

"They're here!' Alice called from the kitchen.

I looked to Edward with worried eyes and he ran me over to the couch. I turned my face into his chest and he ran his fingers through my hair, calming me. I was on the verge of crying when Carsile opened the door and welcomed Jacob and Billy in.

"How can we help you, Billy?" Carsile asked, a little to politely for my current feelings.

"We're going to need Bella to come with us." Billy said in his rough voice. "Charlie told me that if anything happened to him that Bella would have to come and live with my son, Jacob, and myself."

Edward took me off of his lap and walked into the conversation, frustrated that Billy was trying to take me away.

"I cannot let you do that." Edward said beside Carsile.

"And why is that?" Billy folded his arms.

"She clearly doesn't want to leave with you two." Edward said harshly.

Billy glared at him for a moment then spoke. "So what your saying is that Bella would rather stay with a group of vampires then us?" He was shocked.

I giggled at the look on his face. Billy flashed a glance towards me then looked back at Edward.

"Yes." Edward smiled. Billy was furious.

"Well you better keep your fangs away from her! I'll be checking in every few weeks so don't think you'll get rid of me that easily." Billy nearly yelled.

"Then we'll see you later." Edward escorted Billy and Jacob out of the house.

I jumped off the couch and ran to Edward. He picked me up and kissed my forehead.

"Thank you." I whispered. "I don't want to leave you guys."

"I know, Bella."
