EPOV

I had to stop this before we both did something we would regret. But for some reason I couldn't, all I can feel is the electric rush going through us, I could feel it pulling our minds together. It's something that has never happened to us before. All of a sudden there was a bright flash. Every barrier was crushed to the ground. We were together in more ways then I could have thought possible. It was like we were floating in the air.

Edward? What's going on? It was Bella's voice but it was in my mind.

Bella, how are you doing that?

I don't know, I'm saying everything through my mind. And it's kinda freaken me out.

I couldn't understand. We could hear each other's thoughts? I've read something about this. It was something called the soulmate principle, and it was said that only those who had found the person they were supposed to be with could do things like this. Bella must have heard that.

The soulmate principle? Edward, you cant honestly believe that, can you?

Yes, I can, what else could explain what's going on? And besides I can hear your

thoughts and you can hear mine.

But how can this be happening?

I don't know. Probably because I've loved you sense we were kids.

Just then a memory flashed through my mind. It was a couple years after we had

moved. I was lying on my bed, it was at night and I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about

how much I missed Bella. And how ever since I had left there was a part of me seemed

to be missing. I hated it so much that I had called her twice and hung up when she

answered. What was I supposed to say? Oh By the way Bella, just thinking about

you keeps me awake at night and not a single day has gone by without me wishing you

were here with me. I didn't think so. She would think I was some stalker. She probably

forgot all about me and had someone she was happy with. That thought made me growl.

I never wanted her to be with anyone but me.

Edward I never forgot you. I thought you forgot about me. Bella said then showed me

one of her memories.

She was sitting on her bed crying and looked to be about 16. She was looking at the

necklace I had given her before I left and was talking to herself.

"You really did forget me didn't you? I knew you would." She lied down on her bed and

started shaking with quiet sobs.

Bella, I am so sorry. If I knew that, I would have never…

It's fine Edward.

No it's not. Bella it's one thing for me to be miserable but an entire different thing for you

to be.

I kept trying to figure out what I had done wrong. I thought you didn't want anything to do

with me.

There's nothing wrong with you Bella, I'm the monster that never came back in contact.

you mean so much to me.

Edward quit beating yourself up, I can feel it to. And I know how much you love me, I can

feel it through this connection thingy.

I can to. I don't want it to end.

Me neither.

I just held on to her with all that I had. I didn't want to break this connection between us. I

had never felt this close to her before. I just let her explore all the memories I had of her

that I had locked away. I was so wrapped up on what was going on that I didn't hear the

person barging into my room.

"OH MY GOD I KNEW IT!" I heard Alice scream.

The silver light that was holding my mind with Bella's broke so suddenly that it hurt. I

was back in my own body again.

I looked around my room. Jasper, Alice, Emmet, and Rosalie were all standing in my

room staring at me and Bella. Even thought the connection was broken there was still a

silver thread of it.

"Would you keep it down Alice." I said, "And what is it that you think you know?"

"You and Bella just did something amazing right? It felt like you were connected in some

way so incredible that it can't be explained?" Alice asked with shining eyes.

I narrowed my eyes at her "maybe."

Alice rushed over and hugged me and Bella.

"Oh I'm so happy for you guy's." She said and got off the bed.

"What do you know about this?" I asked

"It happened to Emmet and Rosalie and me and Jasper to. I hated seeing you without

anyone. It's not fun seeing one of your best friends miserable."

"Wait," Bella interrupted, "So you're saying that you're all"

"Soulmates? Yep."

"Wow." That's all I could say.

"I know, we didn't know what was going on either when it happened to us." Emmet said.

"Wait why didn't you guy's ever say anything to me." I asked a little annoyed

"Because we knew you would think we were nuts." Jasper said

"You're right I would. So what does this all mean exactly?"

"IT ONLY MEANS THAT YOU GUYS ARE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER FOR THE

REST OF YOUR LIFE!" Alice exclaimed jumping up and down with joy.

BPOV

Ok this was too much to handle all at once and Alice was giving me a headache with all

her shrieking.

I kinda always new that I was supposed to be with Edward, but it never really seemed

real until now. I guess I just didn't want to admit to myself just how much I loved him.

"Alice I appreciate your excitement but it's giving me a headache." I said rubbing my temples.

Alice quit jumping and put a hand over her mouth covering a smile "Sorry." She said a little sheepishly.

Everyone wouldn't quit staring at me; even Edward wouldn't look away from me. Guess it's time to take a shower. I got out of Edward's bed and got my bag and took refuge in his bathroom.

When I got in the shower I turned the water on as hot as it would go and started to think.

Ok, so Edward and I were soulmates, no big shocker there. When he kissed me like that there was some connection that let us hear each other's thoughts. Now that's a little unnerving. I don't want him in my head. I wonder if he can hear me now. I waited for an answer but didn't get one so I assumed that that part of the link was broken. But I was still super aware of him. Even with a wall separating us I could feel his agitation for his friends.

Someone banged on the bathroom.

"See you around Bells." Emmet said

Good they were leaving.

I stayed in the bathroom until I was sure everyone had left. Yeah I know, I'm a coward. I put on a pair of holy jeans and my faded black t-shirt, my most comfortable cloths. I picked up my bag and stepped back into the room. Edward was up and making his bed. He still wasn't wearing a shirt. And that's when I noticed how pale and beautiful he was.

Gosh darn him. Why did he have to be so perfect? There is no way that I could be his soulmate. Before I could sulk anymore he interrupted my thoughts.

"So what are we going to do today?" He said with that crooked smile that I loved so much.

"Well, I know what I'm doing today. I was going to into town so I could get some books. And maybe get some cloths that I'm comfortable in."

Edward didn't look too happy.

"I don't think you should go by yourself. You could get lost."
"I wasn't going to, I was going to ask Jessica to go with me."

He relaxed, but only slightly, "Well why don't you let me go with you?"

I looked at him horrified, "Edward, I'll be in dressing rooms most of the time. I'll just bore you to death."

Edward walked over to me and put his arms around my waist pulling me closer. He leaned down to my ear.

"You could never bore me Bella." He whispered in my ear.

"Oh yes I ca…" he silenced me.

Edward's soft cool lips were on mine. I half expected that connection we had last night to come back. But it didn't. I just felt that electric current flow through us. As much as I wanted to stay there in his arms I really needed to get a hold of Jessica. So I reluctantly pulled back.

"I'll be back before you know it." I said and pulled out my cell phone and dialed Jessica's number. It rang twice before she answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jessica, it's Bella."

"Oh, hi. What's up?"

"Well I needed to go to Port Angeles and I didn't want to go alone so I was wondering if you would want to come."

"Yeah that would be great. Hey we could bring Angela to. I'm sure she would like to come."

"Ok, why don't you give her a call and I'll pick you guys up."

"Um, no offence, but I don't think your truck will make it. I mean it's a really old truck."

Edward seemed to hear what she said and chuckled.

"My truck isn't that old." I said defensively.

"Even so, I'll call Angela and I'll come pick you up ok?"

"Alright." I said giving up.

"Ok I'll see you in fifteen minutes." She said then hung up.

"There is nothing wrong with my truck." I said under my breath.

"How long will you be gone?" Edward asked pulling me into his arms.

I sighed, "I don't know, most of the day I suppose."

"I don't want you to be gone for that long. What am I supposed to do all day?" He asked with a mocking expression.

I swatted at him, "Oh I'm sure you'll come up with something." I said.

Out side Jessica honked her horn.

"I'll see you later. Besides I don't have to be home until tomorrow night."

"Ok, ok you win. I'll see you later." He said then kissed me on the cheek.

I grabbed my wallet then went downstairs and got in Jessica's car.

"So, how are things with you and Edward?" She asked as I got into the car.

"Oh, you know." I said without elaborating.

"Oh come on Bella. You have to give us something. You're practically living with him." Angela wined.

"There's really nothing to tell." I lied.

"Fine then don't tell us. But we will figure it out sooner or later."

I sure hoped they didn't

"So are you two dating then?" Jess asked.

Is that what it is? "Yes." I think it's more then that though. But I'll just keep that to my self.

"Wow, you and Edward Cullen."

"Yeah, wow." I said.

Jessica turned on the radio after that and we didn't say another word.

As we turned into the parking lot to the mall Jessica turned to me.

"So what do you want to do first?"

"Well I need to get some new cloths. So how about you critique me."

Angela jumped up and down just like Alice did earlier "Oh this is going to be soooo much fun."

Yeah I can't wait, I thought sarcastically.

Me, Angela and Jessica tried on cloths for almost two hours. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe my shopping experience with Alice had been and overwhelming one but here with Jessica and Angela it was like a mini vacation.

"Hey Bella it's 5:30, were getting hungry, do you want to stop somewhere and eat? There's a restaurant not to far from here." Jess said.

"Sure. Why don't you guys go ahead? I still need to go to the book store then I'll meet you there."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, you guys can save a table for us. I wont take to long." I said.

"Ok."

They walked off toward the car.

I turned and started walking to the bookstore. It was only a few blocks away and the restaurant couldn't be that far away.

I saw the bookstore but didn't go in. Most of the books were about legends and what not.

So I kept walking. Maybe there was another bookstore.

As I was walking I heard a noise. I turned around.

Even though it was getting darker there was no way I could miss this person.

He was strikingly beautiful. He was muscular and had sandy blonde hair that hung just over his eyes so I couldn't see what color they were. What stood out about him was how pale he was. He was even paler then me, and I'm the albino. And I also noticed that he was walking toward me. I stood there, I couldn't move, I felt frozen in place.

"Hello Bella." His voice was like ice.

"H-how do you know my name?"

"Oh, we all know your name. But my boss would love to meet you in person."

"What for?"

"He has big expectations for you."

He kept walking toward me until he stood in front of me.

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out soon enough." He said and threw me over his shoulder.

He was also very strong, but what startled me was how cold he was. The next thing I knew he hit me over the head and I passed out.
