Edward POV

Bella is slowly getting over her heroin issue. She also admitted doing heroin this year, while we Cullens were out hunting. She said the stress of it all and the craving came over her. I was devastated, and Carlisle was disappointed. I couldn't even look at her. Alice had to force my head to look at her, she was crying hysterically her face was red with anger with herself and her eyes bright red and dried under them. I couldn't believe all the hurt I caused her, it made me feel guiltier as I comforted her all day.

As I held her hand here at school, she spotted Amber and her friends who recently moved here. I pulled her lightly towards the cafeteria. She shook her head and let go.

"Izzy!" Amber called and smiled at Bella. Bella stared at her and breathed.

"I need to do this" she said. I nodded.

"I'll be waiting" said and she walked forward.

"Amber!" she yelled angrily.

"What are you here?" Bella asked.

"Well our parents kicked us out. We decided to come here. Renee told us you'd here" Amber replied.

"She shouldn't of. Hello Razor" Bella shot back and nicely talked to Razor.

"Hi Iz" he said quietly. I could imagine Bella nod over her to him.

"Why did you have to come?" Bella asked.

"To visit our BFF and sister. You know how much I missed you. Do you still have the heroin? Parents found out." Amber said.

"I gave it to Carlisle" Bella said proud of herself. She should. I smiled at that.

"Dr. Cullen? Damn girl! You got him?" Amber asked. I made a disgusted face.

"No you idiot. He's my father-in-law- to be! I'm engaged to Edward. I'm not a slut…anymore" she said quietly. She is never a slut.

"What about Razor?" Amber asked.

"I'll always love him. But now, I need a fresh start. Razor I'm so sorry" she said. How badly I wanted to wrap her in my arms.

"So you're just dumping him? Like you would dump a hobo on the street?" Amber asked. She is an idiot.

"Just shut up" Razor yelled at Amber.

"Without me, you wouldn't be anywhere" she said.

"I came here to visit Izzy" he said.

"Whatever" she said.

"Amber, you were like a sister to me. I loved you like one. But when you introduced me to all the drugs, the cigarettes, the booze? I thought my life ended, might as well end it then. But I found happiness here. And it will stay like that. I will not let you ruin this for me. I found great friends, new family, bran new sisters who found happiness without drugs and alcohol. They found happiness in life. Unlike you. I used to be just like you. And now I won't let you ruin it for me. So stay out of my way" Bella threatened.

"You can't talk to me like that" Amber said.

"Guys it was great to se you again. Don't worry, I did miss you all. A lot. And Amber, I just did" Bella said and I heard her walking off.

"Feel good?" I asked.

"Yes" she smiled took my hand and laced our fingers together and led me to the cafeteria. I was so proud of her.

-:-

"Damn this going to hurt!" she said as she squeezed my hand. We were at the tattoo/piercing shop. We were all here and I chuckling at Bella and kissed her temple.

"Ok miss you uh, ready to get it removed?" the guy asked. Bella nodded.

"Ok just sit in the chair and stick out your tongue" he said and Bella said what he said. The big stud on her tongue wedged a little and Bella squealed again in covering up a scream.

"Ow" she said as she put the tool onto her tongue and worked the stuff out of her tongue.

"Well sweetie, the person who pierced you really wedged it in there" he said. Bella squeezed her eyes as they guy worked on her tongue. A few tears feel out and she squealed to cover up her scream as the guy pulled it out. I wanted to stop her pain, but she had to do this. She wanted to do this.

"Ok your all done" he said and put gauze on her tongue to get the blood. She opened her eyes and chuckled as she wiped her eyes.

"Ok just a few more minutes until I get the minimal bleeding under control" he said. She nodded slightly as he tried to get the bleeding to stop.

"Ok you're free to go" he said and took the gauze off. Bella took out two 20s and handed them to him. My family's and mine's eyes grew at the money she carried around.

"Keep the change" she said as she led me by the hand out and to the car.

"How does it feel?" I asked as we piled in.

"Different. There's no big rock on it. I'll miss it, but at least I get to keep this" she giggled and lifted her shirt briefly to show the little stud. We all rolled our eyes as she babbled on and on about becoming a new person. I was happy for her new found confidence.

-:-

Bella became a vampire a year after we graduated. The year that we graduated, Bella and I got married. The year before her change, we spent as newly weds and then as a real married couple. Then Bella stressed me out with her change and drove us all crazy. I finally agreed and bit her. She had complete control and was like a regular vampire. Minus the red eyes.

-:-

"So what are you doing?" I asked her and sat on the couch next to her in our new home. She leaned her head and on shoulder and situated her self around me.

"Found them in a box. Unlabeled. It's from Phoenix. I found them in the drawer of DVDs. I can't believe how stupid I was." She said and I rubbed her back.

"But look at you now" I said. She looked at the carpet and smiled.

"I know. I have a new and wonderful family, a new way of life, and the best husband" she said and kissed me on my cheek. I smiled and ran my hands through her hair.

"Yes" I agreed.

"This is why I kept some. To remind myself, of my new life. I was a stupid teenager, who was stoned all the time. And now I'm a healthy vampire with a great husband who I love unconditionally" she sighed and looked to the tape. Bella and her friends at the mall. Her friend, Seth, was behind the camera as they went into stores and browsed through clothes. The times she had fun…but with the wrong types of people.

"Secrets from Phoenix" she sighed. I nodded.

"Secrets from Phoenix" I said.
