Bella P.O.V.

Why was Edward standing in front of me? I had just left him and he flew in front of me at a suprisingly fast speed. A speed that wasn't human.

"Edward?" I gasped for air as I spoke.

He looked worried."Yes?"

"What was that?" I said a little louder than really needed. A few people looked up at the situation.

He came down to my eye level. "Shhhh, it's okay. I'll explain but not here, we have to be alone." he sounded sincere, and his eyes seemed so honest that I couldn't help but listen to him.

I couldn't speak so I just nodded and followed him to where ever he was taking me.

We made it to the front of the ship and there was no one around. I thought Ben, Sam, and Jake would've still been there but they weren't.

"Bella," he said with the same look of worry he had before.

"Yes?" I asked as he turned away from me and leaned over the rail.

"If I tell you something...that I've never...ever told anyone before...would you tell someone?"

"No, of course not."

"What if it was terrible,one of the worst things that you ever heard?"

This worried me...

"No." I said closing my eyes.

...but I trusted him.

He hesitated. "What if it could put you in danger?" There was pain behind the calm tone of voice he fronted.

"No." He turned to face me. The pain was in his expression now.

"Bella, I'm not like you. I'm not your average third-class-man." he smiled a gorgeous crooked smile.

His topaz eyes had me locked into his gaze. I knew that he was more than beautiful. I had just refused it.

I suddenly realized that we had been staring at each other for at least 5 minutes now.

"What do you mean?" I asked turning my back to him so I could hold onto the rail for support.

"Bella..." he hesitated as his cool breath spread over the side of my face.

"Yes?" I asked breathless.

He didn't speak for awhile.

"Edward -"

"Shhhh..."

"What?" I whispered.

"They're coming."

"What...who?"

"Bella," he spun me around leaving me breathless again.

"I'll talk to you tonight at dinner okay?"

I nodded and he,again,smiled beautifully.

He turned and left at the same inhuman speed that he had stopped me at.

Then I saw Ben coming with Jacob and Sam.

"Bella I thought that you were speaking to Alice?" I completely forgot that I was even going to talk to her.

"She wasn't there." I quickly lied.

"Oh, well then come and join us for lunch, we can discuss wedding details." he smiled, but it didn't even touch the perfection of Edward's.

"Of course." I sighed as I took his arm.

We had lunch and I wasn't even aware of what was happening around me, I was thinking about him. What could he have to tell me? How could it be so terrible that he didn't want to tell me? This only made me wonder more and more.

While I was day dreaming,Ben was discussing wedding details with Jacob and Sam. Well, he was really discussing with himself. Sam would nod and speak at the correct moments, but it was obvious that he wasn't really paying attention. If I was brought into the conversation, I would agree no matter what the question was. And Jacob was...disturbing me, to put it simply. He just sat there and stared at me.

I thought about Edward for the rest of the time, which seemed too long.

I was shocked out of my thoughts when Sam tapped me on the shoulder and I realized that Ben was waiting for me to stand as well. I liked Sam. Besides Edward he seemed like the nicest person that was on the ship.

The rest of the afternoon seemed to drag on. I was taken on a tour of the ship. It was interesting, to hear the stories of how the ship was desinghed but I couldn't stop thinking about Edward.

There was one thing that caught my eye.

"?"

"Yes?" she asked politely.

"I did the math in my head repeatedly, and it seems that there aren't enough life boats for everyone aboard."

"Oh Ms. Swan, you're on the unsinkable ship there isn't even a purpose for life boats at all." I nodded. Even though I thought that they should still have life boats, it was logical. After all it was the unsinkable ship. It was the R.M.S. Titanic.

The rest of the tour went by in a blur.

After wards I went to speak to Alice. I knew that I had to get it all out some how. I had to tell somone how I felt about Edward. Even though I wasn't sure for myself.

I knocked on the door leading into her state room. She answered.

"Bella," she hugged me. "come in." she waved her hand toward her room.

I went and sat down on a chair next to her bed.

"Bella, what's wrong?" Alice always knew when something was wrong with me.

And she was right.

"Alice can I trust you."

"That depends..."

"Never mind." I tried to drop the subject.

"Bella, if you don't tell me then I'll think it's something worse than it actually is"

"It's pretty bad."

"Bella," she pleaded.

"Well I think that..." I didn't know how to put it into words.

"Just tell me!"

"I think that I may have...feelings,for..."I couldn't make myself say it.

"Bella, what feelings, feelings for what?"

"Not a what, a who."

"Who?"

"He's in third class his name his Edward."

"Third class, Bella what will Ben say?" she stood up off her bed.

"Ben won't say anything because you're not going to tell him." I stood up meeting her gaze.

"Okay." she sat back down.

"So tell me all about Edwin."

"Edward."

"Edward." she corrected herself.

"Well it's kinda a long story."

"Trust me, for this, I have time."

I told her the whole story. Besides this after noon of course.

The day came closer to a close and I went to get dressed for dinner. I couldn't wait to see Edward.

Edward P.O.V.

I was walking up to first class to see Bella and try to tell her what I was.

I couldn't find her.

I was about to turn to her state room when I was stopped.

"Excuse me." I said as I tried to pass her.

"Ben sent me."

"Yes?" what was he planning on doing now.

"He would like me to make sure that you were properly dressed for dinner"

"Oh."

"My name's Lola." she said holding out her hand.

"Edward."

"Yes, I'm quite aware." she said sheepishly.

"Do you have any suits?" she asked.

"Nope." I laughed.

"Well then we have work to do don't we."

After two hours I was ready for the first class dinner.

Lola lead me to the first class dining room.

I was told to wait at the stairs until Bella and Ben arrived.

About ten minutes later, I saw her coming down the staircase.

She walked up to me and I kissed her hand,as Lola taugt me. She blushed and looked away at Ben. I wondered what she was thinking, but I couldn't. I had tried repeatedly.

Then I read Ben's thoughts...

Bella P.O.V.

Edward lead me away from the staircase and I wondered if he knew where he was going. When I spoke to Alice she agreed to help Edward through dinner, since I would be sitting next to Ben which I never looked forward to.

We reached the front section of the dining room. This was the part of dinner that I dreaded. Mindless chatter, ridiculous gossip, spread by narrow people. But when I thought about it, and it was a strech, this was all a blessing in hiding. If it wasn't for these small things that drove me insane, I would have never tried to jump of the ship. I never would have met Edward.

I looked up at Edward, I probably enjoyed seeing his face more than should.

To my surprise he was looking back down at me. His topaz eyes burned into mine, but his expression wasn't right. I didn't know what was wrong but I could tell that something was bothering him. I realized that we were just standing there staring at each other. We both looked away awkwardly. I knew that this was wrong, to feel the way I did about Edward, but I didn't know what I was supposed to do about it.

I had to move on and try not to think about it.

When I thought about it, Edward was being very brave. He was in third class and had no problem joining first class for dinner. I couldn't imagine how he felt right now. I was in first class and I felt awkward half the time.

I reconized some of the people who I had listened to. There weren't very many but I could name a few.

"That's and his wife Kirsten. He was the wealthiest man on the boat before Ben came aboard. You wouldn't believe how crushed he was when he found out that he was only the second wealthiest." I explained pointing across the room.

"And of course that's . His wife Brianna had to stay at home with their seven children of course." I explained looking the other direction.

"That's Paige and Tristen Samuel. Their business partners and run an expensive gown company. They thought that coming on the ship would help their business." I whispered so that they couldn't hear, for they were standing in front of us.

"Then there's Ms. Dustee Walter who is a designer and also hopes to make it big in America." I said looking down.

"And then her daughter, Jordin, who is hoping to get a better education. I guess that's one of the better reasons to be on th Titanic in the first place." And I truly thought it was.

"Bella do you know who that is talking to Ben?" he whispered. He looked concerned.

I turned my head to look and he tapped my arm to get my attention again.

"Try not to turn your head to look." he whispered tis time getting closer to my face.

"Why?"

"Trust me." he pleaded.

I did as he said.

I didn't recognize who she was. She was tall and wearing a white dress with a plunging neck line. She was blonde and very tall. She wore her hair up in a messy bun with strands hanging down in front of her face and in the back. She was very pretty but I had no idea what her name was. She was clearly flirting with Ben. It's not like I cared I just wondered why she was so obvious about it.

"I don't know who she is?" I laughed.

"Well, don't you care?" he asked.

In knew that I couldn't let him know how I felt about him. I knew that not only I could get hurt but so would he. Ben would kill both of us if he knew.

"Of course I care I just don't know her name." I tried to sound concerned.

He gave up on the subject.

After what seemed like a lifetime, we sat down at the table. As planned I sat next to Ben and Alice sat next to Edward.

We spent dinner talking and laughing. And by we I mean everyone at the table but me. I was paying more attention to Edward than anything else.

Then my mother spoke.

Which was never good.

"So Edward, I hear that this is your first trip on a ship?" This she heard from Ben, but I was just glad that she got his name correct.

"Yes it is."

"So how is it in third class?"

"Mother." I whispered only loud enough for me to hear.

"Well it is the Titanic, so it's quite fine. Hardly any rats." he added with a charming smile.

Everyone laughed,even mother. Everyone except for Ben. I didn't know why he was being such a child. It wasn't like he knew.

"Edward you truly amaze me." Ben said sounding sincere, but I knew him far too well.

Everyone at the table was terribly confused.

"I mean even in your living conditions, you still manage to have a happy go lucky attitude."

"Thank you?" Only I could tell that it was phrased as a question.

"How do you manage to stay so positive?" Mother asked.

"Well I see each day as a new adventure, a new chance to get out there and do something with your life. Each day is a new beginning, a new start. I like the thrill of waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen, or who your gonna meet. I'm living proof. A few days ago I was sleeping under a bridge with my brother Jasper, and now I'm on the R.M.S Titanic, the finest ship in the world. I love just getting out there and living life how I want to. I like making each day count."

Silence.

"To making it count." I said raising my glass.

"To making it count." Everyone echoed raising there glasses as well.

The rest of the evening flew by in a blur and luckily no one spoke to Edward again.

After a while all the men left to smoke and ten congratulate each other on being masters of the universe.

"Bella, will you be going up to the stateroom anytime soon?" Ben whispered in my ear.

"No I'll stay here."

"Alright." he sat patting my shoulder.

"Edward will you be joining us?" Mr. Thomas asked.

"No Mr. Thomas, I think it's about time I should be getting back to my brother. But thank you for the offer."

They finally all left and then Edward stood up and made his way over to me.

Edward took my hand and kissed it again. He left a note in my hand and winked at me.

As her walked away I read the note:

Meet me at the stairs at twelve.

Edward

I read his elegant script and then looked at the clock.

11:30.

I had thirty minutes.

Alice gave me a look from across the table and I wondered if she saw the note.

I nodded her over to me and she then followed me to the corner across the room.

"What does the note say?" she asked

"He wants me to meet him at twelve o'clock."

"Well are you going to meet him?"

"I don't know?" I hesitated knowing that in the end I would end up going to him.

"Bella I know that you're going to go any way so why not just tell me that you are?"

"Fine, I'll go."

"Good."

"Well one thing's for sure."

"What's that?" she asked pursing her lips.

"This won't end well." she rolled her eyes and walked away.

She didn't know what would happen if Ben found out.

Before I knew it...

12:00.

I looked at Alice across the table from me and she nodded in encouragement.

I left the table and headed for the staircase. I started to walk, and then walk faster, and it eventually turned into running.

When I reached the stairs, I saw him waiting for me at the top. He walked down to me until his face was only inches from mine.

"Do you want to go to a real party?"

"What?" I asked confused.

"A real party?" he stated simply clearly not giving me the details that I wanted.

I looked up at his perfect face into his topaz eyes. And I knew that when I was with him that I was safe. And that no harm would come to me. I was about to say yes when I heard someone gasp from the other side of the stair case.

Alice. And I knew what she wanted.

"Only if Alice can come."

"What?" he asked confused.

"Only if Alice can come."

"Fine Alice you can come."

She jumped up and skipped to my side.

"Follow me." he whispered.

He lead us down to second then third class. We went down three flights of stairs and we heard the sound of booming music coming from a room that was down a long set of stairs. My heart began to speed up as we came closer to the two doors.

He opened the doors for us. Alice and I exchanged a glance at each other and went in.

The room was smaller than I had expected, and it was dimly lit. There were at least one hundred people in that room. People were dancing and singing. This was nothing like anything that I had ever experienced.

"Edward!" a man screamed over the music.

"Jasper!" Edward yelled back.

Jasper walked up to us and smiled.

Then he looked at Alice.

I knew that she liked him by the look in her eyes. She seemed completely dazzled.

"Um Jasper this is Bella and her friend Alice."

"Jasper." he said holding out his hand.

"Alice." she replied.

They shook hands longer than necessary and eventually looked away from each other awkwardly.

"Come on." Edward said grabbing my hand and pulling me into the crowd of people.

Everyone clapped and cheered as the band finished playing the song. Everyone had been dancing except for Alice and I.

''Alice," Jasper walked up and grabbed Alice's hand. She smiled a huge smile and happily followed him into the crowd of people.

She looked back at me and nodded in encouragement.

A new song started.

"I'm gonna dance with her now, okay." Edward told the little girl that he had been dancing with.

He let go of the little girl's hand and took mine pulling me up into his arms.

I noticed that the little girl was glaring at him.

"You're still my best girl Rosalie." she smiled and skipped away.

"Edward I can't dance."

" Just follow me."

He started moving his feet to the up beat song and I followed his feet exactly. Suddenly, I heard yelling and it was very close to us. I went up to the table where to men were playing poker. One had just lost all of his money.

"Emmett." Edward said pulling the man back from the other.

"You men think you're so tough?" everyone stopped and stared at me as I spoke.

"Well let's see you do this." I took my shoes off and threw them to Alice.

I held my dress up and began to rise onto my toes. I had just reached the tip of my toes when my feet colapsed and I fell into Edward's arms.

Everyone clapped and cheered and again a new song began with an even faster beat.

Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me into a line of people who were walking around the room dancing. I felt someone grab onto my arm. I looked over to see Jasper and Alice right behind him. I looked at her and smiled, she looked just as in love with Jasper as I was with Edward.

The rest of the night went by in a blur. Then I realized what time it was.

3:00

"Edward." I yelled over the music that was still booming. Th energy in the room never slowed.

"Yes?"

"Do you see what time it is?" I pointed to the only clock in the room.

"Come on." he said taking my hand and pulling me up the steps.

We finally reached the first class deck. I was about to turn the corner a when Edward stopped me.

"What?" I asked.

"Don't go." he whispered.

"Why?"

"Trust me." he pleaded as he did earlier.

"I have to go Edward. You don't want to see Ben when finds out."

"Ben has no idea where you are."

"How do you know?"

He pointed around the corner. I turned my head a little and from the corner of my eye I saw what Edward didn't want me to see.

Ben was kissing the girl that he was talking to earlier at dinner. I turned back to look at Edward. I wasn't mad that they were kissing, I was more mad at Ben for breaking every promise that he had ever made me.

I ran the other way, taking the long way to my stateroom. I expected Edward to follow me, but he didn't. I was for once glad.

I ran down three halls an turned five corners before making it to my state room.

I opened the door and saw a piece of paper on Ben's bed. I wasn't the only one who had gotten a note tonight.

Ben, meet me outside my room in thirty minutes.

Love, Marissa

Now I was mad. He had hurt me when he was doing the very thing that he was hurting me about. I began to tear the room apart.

I tore the sheets off his bed and the curtains off their rods. I threw all of his clothes everywhere and I tore all of the papers about the wedding up.

I turned around and I saw Edward. I remembered that I had shut the door and locked it so that Ben wouldn't get in.

"How did you..."

"Follow me." he grabbed my hand...again.

He looked worried, and this made me worried.

"Edward what's wrong?" I asked quickly.

"Nothings wrong, I just have to tell you something."

"What?" I asked trying to stop my feet.

"Bella please don't be difficult." he gazed into my eyes. I wondered why the weren't their usual topaz. They were black.

He lead me into a huge room, completely empty.

"Bella," he began. "Do you remember what I was starting to tell you earlier today?"

"You told me that you weren't like me. Not you're average third-class-man." I quoted smiling.

"Bella this is going to make me sound insane, and you'll probably turn me in to the police for it, but I have to tell you." he whispered.

"Bella I'm a vampire."
