Third Person.

Charlie. Jacob. Emmett. Jasper. All four guys watched Bella through the kitchen glass door as she raked the golden yellow leaves into a neat smile. It had been a month since the incident with Edward and she has been depressed about it ever since. She kept more to herself and even she started to act more like a robot. When the guys would ask for help with something, she would do it without complaining. But when Charlie asked for help, she would snub him and tell him to ask one of the other guys. Merciless woman.

"Ever since Edward left, Bella's been down in the dumps." Emmett stated the obvious, causing Jacob to roll his eyes.

"No shit."

"Bellaaaaa, I'm hungry." Charlie opened the glass doors and whined out to his daughter. Startled, she looked up in surprise before scowling. Charlie frowned before heading out of the kitchen and up to his room.

"Guys who trick people don't get to eat." She was ready to leave to do another area of raking leaves before Jacob spoke.

"But aren't you glad he isn't a robot? Did you know that Edward comes from a rich family?" She stopped, turning towards him confusing written all over her face. "I spoke to your dad about it since I thought it was pretty outrageous to even do something like that do a person. But in reality, Edward ran away from home to come to this dump. When he met Charlie on a totally accident, he concocted up that retarded story. And even though you ordered him around like a slave, he kept on smiling." The pain Bella's chest clenched ten times fold, almost causing her knees to buckle. but Jacob didn't stop there. "Charlie had said that when Edward first approached him, he thought the kid was mental. Charlie then told him about your hate for men, then came along the story. He told him how he's always watched you Bella. He goes t some rich private school near your public school so he's probably noticed you a lot."

"I wouldn't have been able to pulled it off." He sighed, looked a bit worn out. "He must have really liked you, Bella." Her weak heart began to thud more painfully and she grabbed the hem of her shirt, clenching hard.

"Actually, I.. -"

"Excuse me," Everyone turned around to the voice. A guy, who looked to be in his early twenties, came around the building. He had a vibrant smile on his lips as he spoke. " I saw your sign on the street that you had a vacancy and I am interested in the room. Can I see it?" The image of the sign on the door crossed thought her mind. 'Vacancy' crossed out and Edwards name below it.

-

Bella's P.o.V

-

"No.." I whispered, causing the stranger to blink.

"Huh?"

"Forget it, it's taken!" I began to run towards the fence until Jacob called out a unknown address to me. I'm guess it was Edward's.

　

'I knew it all along.' I thought, as Edward's words coursed through my veins. 'You look beautiful, Bella.' "I always knew he was kind.. "

-

Edward sighed for the tenth time. He stood on his large patio, looking at the large land his family owned. It was a huge yard that was filled with exotic roses and various of large fountains. His parents frequently held parties there to liven up the place but behind doors was all business and no love.

-

I was nearly out of breath by the time I made it to Edward's address, my lungs pleading me to stop. It burned and I felt as if I was going to faint or vomit but I gave my head a good shake, which was not a good idea, but it helped me refocused. But my heart nearly did stop when I released how damn huge his house was. And how high the fence was.. Well, no stopping now. I began climbing the fence, thankful for the weird loop hole designs it had. And I prayed to God that security wouldn't catch me. When I had gotten to the top, I had both legs on either side and was thankful yet again that it was a flat surface at the top and not something spiky, like they had in the movies.

I quickly glanced around but easily spotted Edward on a huge balcony, looking sad. He seemed to be in a daze. A excited feeling ran through my veins. That's how I felt. That it'd be nice if Edward was human.

"Edwaaaard!" I yelled out. I watched him snapped out of his daze, his eyes landing quickly on me. A look for horror crossed his look before he dashed back inside and in moments he was outside, running towards me. Once there, he held out his arms and I took the moment to really look at him. His messy bronze locks falling loosely around his face, his worried emerald eyes, strong jawline. And he wore a flat ironed blue suit, making him look mature than he probably was.

"Be careful, Bella! Get down from there!"

"No.." I whispered, causing him to jerk back a bit.

"Why not?" He whispered back, his voice pained.

"I'll only come down if you come back." He then looked surprised. I bit my lip and tried to hold the blush down but I knew I was failing hard. Edward blinked a couple of times before a sincere smile graced his lips.

"Of course." He once again held out his arms and I climbed down until I was in reach and landed in his embrace. He held me close for the longest time before he brought me into his home. He said he wanted OT pack his things and then we'll be gone. I followed willingly. I didn't bother looking around, the only think I was interested in was the one pulling my hand.

A day later, everyone was gathered into the kitchen, many foods and drinks placed on the table.

"Starting today, well more like yesterday, I'll be living here officially." Edward spoke, his voice proud. Everyone cheered, clashing their glasses together before putting on some blasting music. I laughed at Charlie, who had began to dance in a goofy way. I had forgiven him. And thanked him for what he did. The greatest gift was delivered to me by a small lie.

About an hour into the small party, the guys had started drinking, except for Edward, and began to get silly, doing karaoke songs or even dancing on table tops. Edward grasped my hand and brought me out to a empty hall way where the music was faint but still making the walls vibrate. He gently placed me against the wall, placing both his hands on either side of me. Slowly, he leaned down, his lips brushed lightly against mine but this time I didn't pull back. I leaned forward so that they could make actual contact this time.

Our first kiss.

It was sweet and soft. We moved together in harmony, his hands leaving the wall to rub my sides while my hands reached up behind his head and fisted his hair lightly. He pulled back first and leaned his forehead against mine. He must of felt how hot I was because he chuckled before placing a kiss on my forehead before hugging me. I clutched the back of his shirt, holding him close. It was the perfect moment. Whatever troubles we run into, I know we'll get through it. Together.
