On with the show…

I woke up because I was cold and wet. When I opened my eyes and realized where I was, I started freaking out. I was in my truck, which was underwater, in the only river in Forks. Of course! I thought. Just my luck to be drowning inthe one stinkin' river that runs through Forks!

"There is no way I'm going down without a fight" I muttered, "cancer will be the only thing that can kill me now."

I tried to push my door open, but there was a big boulder blocking my way. I crawled over to the passenger side and tried to open that door, but the current was pushing against it and I wasn't strong enough.

I navigated myself back to the drivers seat and tried to think of more ways to escape. As I looked around, I noticed that there was a window that led out to the bed of the truck that looked big enough for me to fit out of, but it was rusted shut.

I was starting to get really cold and tired, so I decided to just close my eyes for a second.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I heard was a loud screeching noise, it sounded like metal being torn apart. I heard a voice curse, it was very familiar, but I couldn't place it.

I wanted to call out, to ask for help, but I couldn't move, I couldn't even open my eyes. I felt someone pick me up and start running, way too fast for a normal human. We were going so fast I got dizzy and passed out, again.

________________________________________________________________________

I woke up to something strange. I heard people talking about me, this sort of thing never happened! In Phoenix, people always just ignored me, but in Forks, they talked about me! I recognized Edward's voice in the conversation, but I had never heard the others.

"God Edward, calm down!" A high-pitched voice said, "Bella will open her eyes in exactly five minutes and thirty-seven seconds."

I wondered why Edward was worried about me. I wasn't anything special, and I already knew that he hated me. He certainly displayed that this afternoon at school! Or was it this afternoon? I wonder what day it is? I thought. I also wondered how the other voice knew how long it would take for me to win the battle with my eyelids and finally open my eyes.

"Thanks Alice" Edward said.

"No problem!" The voice I now knew as Alice chirped. I remembered that Alice was the short girl with the pixie-like features and short black hair. I also remembered that she was Edward's sister.

Now I was sure something weird was going on. Two of the five Cullens were talking about me. One of which I didn't even know, and the other was my sworn enemy. Well maybe not sworn but we definitely weren't frolicking in flowers together.

I opened my eyes and groaned as I realized where I was. Not only has I landed myself in the hospital, but my arm had needles in it and my body hurt like I had been in a serious accident… Oh wait, I thought I was just in a serious accident!

"Bella!" Edward sighed, "You're awake!"

"Yes Edward," I said as I rolled my eyes, "Thank you so very much for pointing out the devastatingly obvious. Now can someone please tell me why there's currently 5 people squished into my tiny hospital room?"

"Nothing to be alarmed about!" Emmet said, while laughing at my previous statement. "We just wanted to see the girl who schooled Edward yesterday at the hospital!"

"See Bella, you're a legend!" Carlisle stated as he walked in.

"Yeah," Jasper said. "No person has ever been able to render Edward speechless… it's practically a miracle!"

"Ummm, thanks, I guess," I muttered.

The truth was, I felt very plain compared to the Cullens. They were all gorgeous and I was just so dull.

"So Edward," I said, "Do you have anything to contribute to this conversation?"

Emmet started laughing again as Carlisle and the others tried to hold in their smirks.

"Yeah I do," He growled, "Why didn't you just stay at the damn hospital?!"

"You shouldn't curse like that Eddie dearest!" I sang as he growled again. "Girls don't like it when boys are vulgar!"

"I don't think Eddie's got a problem with the ladies" Emmet said.

For some reason that statement made me feel enraged. I didn't know why, but it felt like Edward should be mine and only mine. I glanced over at Jasper and he was smirking, whatever, I thought maybe he's bipolar.

I realized Edward was still looking at me, expecting an answer, so I decided to go for the sarcastic, but truthful way of making him feel bad.

"I felt unwelcome." I stated.

My statement through him for a loop apparently, because the glare was off his face and he looked concerned, almost sad.

"Why?" He asked.

"Oh, I don't know" I said as I pretended to be thinking. "It could have been the ugly paint… or the funny smell…"

I sat up and explained my antics to him.

"No… I think it had to do with a certain person in this room who was extremely rude to me." He still looked confused. God, I thought is he really this stupid?

"I'll give ya a hint there Eddikins," I said and he flinched at the nickname. "It wasn't Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper, Alice or Carlisle."

When I was finished ranting, I glanced around the room and realized that Edward's family had left. It was just Edward and I in the room, and for some reason… it was exhilarating.

I quickly pushed that strange feeling away as I looked at Edward, who seemed to be having an internal battle with himself.

"Speaking of you," I continued, "Why are you even here? It's not like you should even be worrying about me… I'm dying any-" I didn't continue and lucky for me Edward still seemed lost in his own thoughts.

"Sorry!" Edward blurted out.

"What?" I asked, confused. Edward also looked shocked and confused at the words that had tumbled out of his mouth.

"I'm sorry!" He said again. I looked into those beautiful golden orbs and realized that he was sincerely sorry for the things he had done to me.

"I forgive you…" I whispered.

He seemed shocked at my quick forgiveness, but I thought nothing of it. I had been taught to always forgive when someone apologized… even if I hated his or her guts. But what floored me was that I wanted to forgive Edward, I wasn't just doing it because it was the right thing to do.

"Well," He sighed, "I really made a mess of things, I wish we could just start over…"

"Why don't we?" I asked

"Hi, I'm Bella," I said as I grabbed his hand and weakly shook it.

"What's your name?" I asked as I winked at him and hoped he understood what I was doing.

I saw the recognition enter his eyes a moment later and he took my hand and placed a delicate kiss on it.

"Hello," He said in that velvety, alluring voice, "I'm Edward"

"Please to meet you Edward!" I giggled. This was all so funny.

"Trust me Bella," He said, " The pleasure is all mine."

I blushed again and hid my face as he chuckled.

Would you like to meet my family?" He asked, looking a little nervous. " They were very concerned for you"

"Why would they even be worried about me?" I asked. " I'm not special at all, and besides they don't even know me!"

"You don't see yourself clearly Bella," He chided, and I looked down, embarrassed. "And anyway, you're the only person who has ever insulted me and gotten away with it!"

"I am sorry about that," I said, "I didn't mean it"

"Yes you did," Edward said, "That's what I find so interesting about you, you aren't afraid to tell it like it is."

I blushed again and Edward laughed. Edward's laugh was something I never, ever wanted to forget. His smile was breath taking and heart stopping… literally. "My heart rate monitor skipped a beat, then started beeping frantically. Edward stopped laughing and looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Wha-" He started to ask, but to my relief, he was interrupted by Emmet.

"What has Edward laughing?" He boomed, "He hasn't laughed like that since Alice accidentally bleached all of her clothes!"

Emmet walked up to my bed, pulled me up and hugged me.

"Wow, you're tiny!" He laughed as I started to lose my air supply "I'm gonna call you squirt!" My vision was blurring and I knew that if he didn't let go of me soon, I was going to faint.

"Emmet!" Rosalie snapped "Put poor Bella down! You're choking her!"

"Too late" I heard Alice sing as I felt myself go limp once again.

I must've only been out for a few seconds because when I woke up, Rosalie was still yelling at Emmet. When she noticed I was awake, she sent him over to me.

"Sorry squirt," He said as he looked down and ruffled my hair, "I guess I got a little overexcited, please forgive me?" He looked at me with puppy dog eyes and I felt bad for him.

"It's OK Emmet," I said as I hugged him weakly with all the strength I had left. "Don't worry about it! I'm just a weak little person!"

"More like a doll!" Emmet laughed, "Seriously, you're really small!" He flinched as Rosalie walked over and smacked him on the head.

"Sorry about that Bella" Rosalie said. "I'm Rosalie and you already know that big buffoon over there is Emmet"

"Hi!" I said meekly. I felt very plain and ordinary compared to Rosalie… actually I felt plain compared to any of the Cullens.

As Rosalie backed up, another small body took her place and squeezed me tighter than Emmet had.

"Hi Bella!" The high-pitched voice I had recognized from before said, "I'm Alice! I just know we are going to be best friends!"

"Hi Alice" I laughed as she let me go.

"Bella, this is Jasper" Alice said as she danced back to her position around my bed.

"Hello Bella" He said with a slight southern accent.

"Ah Bella," Carlisle said as he entered "I see you've met everyone"

"Yeah and she's even got a nickname!" Emmet boomed. "It's Squirt!"

"That's very nice Emmet" Carlisle chuckled. "But I need to check on Bella, so you all need to leave, even you Edward. Bella, Edward hasn't left your side since he brought you in!"

"Carlisle!" Edward hissed.

I blushed and Edward laughed as they all left.

Edward drove me home from the hospital later that day. At first, the ride was awkward, but we quickly bonded over our love of music.

As Edward walked me to my door, I began to feel nervous. What was the protocol for these kinds of events? I had no idea what to do or how I felt for him, so I just lied.

I could feel my dead heart leap as she reached up to hug me, then continue on to kiss my cheek.

But as quickly as I felt my heart restart, it shattered to pieces as she whispered into my ear…

"Thank you Edward, I just know we'll be great friends!"

I watched as she stumbled into the house and closed the door. My whole world fell to pieces as I realized one thing…

I loved Isabella Swan, but she didn't love me…

I walked into my house, leaving Edward standing on my doorstep. I felt the toll of my adventures weigh down on me as I stumbled into bed. Before I fell asleep, I realized something and my heart shattered..

I loved Edward Cullen, but he didn't love me…
