Hello Everyone!

I'm so very sorry that it has taken me so long[Homework has become the bane of my existence…

However, here is a nice long chapter to satisfy you!

REVIEW PLEASE!

BPOV

Edward was still looking in my eyes as the others were quiet.

"Do not fret about this. I'm sure you two will pull through this absolutely fine." Carlisle told us. "There is no vampire/human couple that I think could do it better." He added.

I knew that he was probably just saying this out of comfort. [But seriously, how many human/vampire couples could he know? However, even if the words were only spoken to comfort us, they definitely did their job on me. Edward on the other hand, I wasn't sure of…

I turned my head to look at him. The fact he had been wearing, changed into one of reassurance. He nodded and laughed at Carlisle's statement. What was he really thinking? Of course, I already knew, even if I was in Edward's body, his mind was the only one I wouldn't be able to read. I kept repeating in my head that everyone would be fine.

"Edward is definitely feeling the stress…"

"Poor Edward and Bella, I should probably hold back on the sarcasm for the time being."

"Oh god, how will this affect them at school?"

"I wonder, does Bella have all of Edward's traits?"

"I wonder how Edward is feeling about all of this."

"AAAHHH!" I screamed. "Could you guys help me out by thinking a little less? Your thoughts are invading my mind! I can't think of anything else! Let's keep the thinking down to a minimum when you are around me please!"

I had a headache. Is this what Edward had to go through every day? But he was used to it, it surely wasn't this aggravating…

Edward looked at me with his breathtaking side smile. It was not nearly as intoxicating when he was wearing the smile on my face. It looked out of place. However, as I closed my eyes and only imagined his face wearing the smile. The rest of everyone's [very obnoxious thought volume seemed to turn down. All I could think about was his face [when he was wearing it of course.

Once the very pleasing thought faded, one of the thoughts of the people around me struck a chord. How exactly would this affect us at school? I could just imagine the endless possibilities, including Mike, Jessica, Tyler, the teachers…especially Mike.

I groaned.

Edward looked over at me. "You have no idea how frustrating it is for me not to hear your thoughts. Granted, it was frustrating before. However, now I can't read anyone's at all!"

I smiled. "Well then, welcome to lesson number one of life in my shoes."

"Hey Edward," Emmet interjected, "what number am I thinking of now?!"

He nearly had a fit of laughter. Rosalie joined in. Alice and Jasper moved to the other side of the room due to Edward's glare.

Edward's tone became sickeningly quiet. "Well Emmet, I would say you are thinking of the number 1, since that is how many eyes you are going to have when I get through with you."

Even if it was my voice, it sounded extremely menacing.

"I didn't know my voice could do that…" I mumbled under my breath.

I grabbed his [my hand. "Edward, calm down. It's ok. Let's just get through this without any incidents."

He closed his eyes, taking deep breaths.

"Bella is right Edward," replied Esme.

"Yes Edward. I think you should probably take Bella home now. Charlie will be wondering where she…or you…are." He concluded with a wink in Edward's direction.

Charlie. Oh no. Edward being me…with Charlie! Now I was worried. Would my father notice the difference?

Edward sensed my tension. How he could, I have no idea. I thought I was doing a very good job of hiding my fear.

"Bella, please don't be worried. That look really doesn't do anything for my face. It only works when I'm thinking about you." He said in teasing voice.

I threw him a playful look with a half-hearted smile attached to it. He didn't buy it.

"Trust me my love, I probably know you better than you know yourself. When my world revolves around you, I'm thinking I'll be ok being you. I don't think I even know myself that thoroughly."

I smiled a genuine smile this time. "And that is where I come in."

He laughed. "Yes darling, that is exactly where you come in."

Alice's thoughts interrupted my thoughts.

"Charlie will be home in 20 minutes Bella, you and Edward had better get a move on."

I smiled at Alice. This reading minds thing was going to take some getting used to. The voices however, were now pushed to the back of my head. They were just mumbles until I focused.

"Ok now this while communicating through the mind thing, I can definitely get used to!" I laughed with Alice.

Edward and I rose from the couch.

"Thank you Carlisle. I honestly don't know what we would have done without you." I said.

He grabbed Esme by the waist and chuckled.

"No problem. I hope it helps."

We waved good-bye to everyone else and as we were headed out of the door I could hear Esme's thoughts.

"Good luck you two…"

I smiled. "Esme wished us luck," I told Edward as we were walking towards the car.

He smiled in return. "We don't need it Bella honey. I told you, we will be perfectly fine," He replied.

"Speak for yourself…" I mumbled.

He was about to get into the driver's seat to drive home.

"WAIT! What are you doing?"

Edward looked at me like I was crazy. "I'm driving us home Bella."

"Yes Sherlock, I understand that. However, how will it look when I pull into our house driving your car?" I told him with a smile on my face. It was a mocking smile.

He opened his mouth but nothing came out.

"Mhmm, exactly what I thought. Now scoot over mister!"

He exhaled in defeat. It was extremely weird to see him in my body. Of course, I probably sighed in defeat many times that he had seen.

"Ok," I said, putting on my seatbelt. "Life in your shoes, huh?"

"Bella, be careful," he replied.

At that instant I floored the gas pedal. Edward's grip got tighter on the leather seats. Luckily for me, most people in Forks were home before 7:00 pm. We were swerving down the highway and the drive that usually would have taken me 30 minutes took me 15.

"WOO! That was exhilarating! I see what you like about it now!" I told Edward as I unbuckled my seat belt in front of my house.

Edward calmly unbuckled his seat belt and took my face into his hands.

"Bella, I love you with all my heart, however, that was a once in a lifetime opportunity for you."

I laughed. "Oh come on! Be fair!"

He looked at me with sarcastic eyes. "No Bella, you be fair."

I laughed again.

"I guess it's time to face Charlie," he said with a smile on his face.

"I guess so."

I started walking to the other side of the house, away front the front door.

"Wait!" Edward called, "where do you think you're going?"

"Oh Edward, come on! If we are going to do this we have to do it right! All you have to do is say hi to Charlie, answer a few harmless questions, and I will meet you in my room…" I added with a teasing smile on my face.

"Oh no…" he started, "Bella, you have no idea how to use my speed and agility. Just come with me and…"

"No Edward," I interrupted. "You heard Carlisle."

"Fine Bella, just be careful. I don't want you getting hurt."

I smiled. "Aw Edward, are you afraid I will mess up your body?" I asked and I wrapped my arms around his [my waist. It was definitely smaller.

"No you silly girl. I don't care whose body you are in. I can't stand if you get hurt."

I laughed and quickly kissed him. Leaving Edward, even going to the other side of the house was unbearably painful. It felt like I was ripping myself off of him, like I wasn't supposed to. It was just as if some extremely strong force was holding us together. Charlie's thoughts interrupted my own.

"What is she doing outside…I see his car."

"You better get a move on," I told Edward. "He's waiting."

Again I felt pain when we were departing.

I walked to the other side of the house while reading Charlie's thoughts to see if he detected any difference. Of course though, he didn't. I smiled at my father's obliviousness.

I finally reached my window. I saw my body in my room. Edward was opening my window.

"Now Bella, listen very closely to what I am going to say." He instructed, "Now just…run up the wall. Just, run. You will end up running so fast that the gravity cannot pull you down. "

I gulped. Oh no.

"Bella, listen. Just run."

I nodded.

I backed up and before I knew it, I was running. I opened my eyes to find myself halfway up the wall in less than a hundredth of a second. I panicked.

"Oh no, I'm going to fall!" My legs seemed to give up from underneath me, no longer listening to the instructions my brain was screaming. And that was it. I fell in the bushes.

"OUCH!" Wait…why was I screaming? That really didn't hurt…

Edward was worried.

"Bella! Are you ok!?"

I brushed myself off. "Yes Edward, I'm fine. I will do it this time. I know it."

I gave myself room to run, and gave it my all.

Before I knew it, I had climbed into my room.

I didn't have any time to celebrate before Edward grabbed me to kiss me. His cold lips moved gently with mine and a shiver ran up and down my spine. His lips were still locked to mine as he pulled me towards my bed.

At that instant I felt something rush up to my mouth. I felt an urge. My whole body seemed to be waiting something; needing something. Fire burned my lips.

"No!" I pushed Edward away from me.

"I felt…it was like…fire…your lips…I mean, my…lips…," I stuttered.

He nodded with worried eyes. "I didn't know that would happen. I didn't honestly think you would feel the urge…the blood urge…"

My eyes popped out of my head. I put my hand to my mouth.

"Bella!" Edward yelled. "Calm down. This is normal. And trust me; this is not nearly as bad as it was when we first met."

I nodded a few more times. "I know Edward. It's just that. It's painful for me to be without you. It's like…some force, some very strong force is pulling us together. It's like it's against the forces of nature for me to be without you…even if I do have an urge for your…blood." I shuddered.

He smiled and kissed me lightly. "And now my love, I welcome you to the first lesson of being me."

"Is this really how it is for you?" I asked him.

He nodded. "See Bella, I told you I love you more that you could ever imagine or feel."

I shook my head in protest. "And that is where you are wrong. That is exactly how it feels for me. I just never thought you would feel the same…"

We were both silent, taking in today's events.

"Well you better get some sleep." I told Edward with a huge grin on my face.

He looked surprised. "Oh sleep…this should be interesting." He smiled.

I kissed him on the lips.

"I wonder what you will dream about… " I told him. "It will be your first dream in over 80 years…"

"Oh I already told you Bella," he replied. "All of my thoughts, and now dreams, will be of you."

I sighed.

"Tomorrow should be interesting as well Bella."

"Oh no!" I realized what he was talking about. School.

"It's fine. We can do this."

"I know Edward. You're right. You just get some sleep." I said.

He smiled and kissed me.

"I love you Bella. I love you no matter what. No soul switching myth can change that."

I smiled as I lay down next to him. "I love you too Edward, always remember that I love you just as much."

He drifted off to sleep before I could say more.

Hope you liked it! I'm taking all of your opinions to heart and trying to include them in the story.

Review please! It really helps!
