Chapter 8
BPV
The next morning it took a second to realize that last night was not a wonderful dream but was in fact reality. I really had Edward. I really kissed him. He really did like me back. I was thinking about this as I was getting ready for breakfast.
When I made my way down stairs I found Charlie looking at the wedding plans again. He just looked so happy that it made me want to smile. I again thanked god for sending Tanya to him. He would never be lonely again. I was thinking about this while preparing my cereal.
While I was eating I was thinking about last night. I would have to prepare Charlie for this. I mean I couldn't just have Edward show up saying " I'm here to pick up my girlfriend!" Charlie would die of a heart attack. I would have to tell him at some point. Well here goes nothing.
"Hey Dad I got some news to tell you about last night!" I started off, hopefully it wont be too bad.
"What is it Bells?" Charlie started to cringe
" Well I've been hanging around with Alice's brother a lot and last night he finally asked me out!"
Charlie looked at a loss for words. I thought that he was going to have a stroke or something. His skin turned the nastiest color purple I have ever seen. Then he made one of the most weirdest and scariest sounds he ever made. It was then that I realized that he was chocking to death. Thankful that Charlie had taught me the heimlich maneuver I preceded to use it on him. Damn I should of waited until he finished breakfast to tell him this. After a minute or two of doing this I finally dislodged the piece of toast that he was chocking on and he was able to breath again.
" its not the big one you told me about is it" he asked nervously ( we had some discussions about the family in the past few weeks)
" No, it's her twin, the one that's in my grade" I said, he seemed a little relieved that it was not Emmett that I was talking about.
" Well do I get to meet this kid?" Charlie asked nervously.
" Well we haven't talked about when, but yes you'll meet him" I plainly stated.
After that the conversation basically died.

After getting the phone call on Halloween from Eric, I proceeded to save my money until I could afford a plane ticket to Rhode Island. After Eric said that she attended his school I just had to see her. I just had to. I was thinking about this while heading to the local library to do some research on a book that I had to write a paper about when I got a call on my cell.
" Mike, its Eric and Victoria, we have some news about the dance last night"
" and what is that" I proceeded to ask
" Well you were right she went last night, and now it looks like she's got a new bf" Eric groaned
I nearly hit the floor. How could my Bella do this to me? To me! Mike Newton! I mean I know we broke up but that was only temporary. I would get her back. Because I am Mike Newton.
" What's worse is that she's dating MY EX BOYFRIEND!" Victoria shouted into the phone
"What ever you wanna do about this Mikey, ill be down with because they both deserve it!" she continued.
" Look do what ever it takes to mess with them, steal their cars, what ever you want until I get there".
" Ill be there soon".
When I went into the library instead of doing my homework, I proceeded to by a plane ticket to Rhode Island."

After telling Charlie I went over to Alice's house. When I got there I Alice was sitting out side with a huge smile on her face.
" What ?" I asked.
"Oh its nothing, I just went shopping today and I found the perfect pair of shoes to go with an outfit that im wearing to school tomorrow" she said enthusiastically.
" Really that's great Alice" I said happily.
We walked inside and spent the next two hours talking about Alice's new shoes. She really was excited about them. We were in the living room when there was a big commotion out side. It started off with what sounded like a garage door opening , then there was the volley of swears, followed by the running of feet, and judging by the sound of the running it was probably Rosalie. She was mechanically inclined, which was good news for me with my antique truck. We went out side to find Rose and Edward looking in the hood of his Volvo . It seemed that his car mysteriously had some parts switched with his other car while others were on the floor. Apparently Emmett and him just got back from the grocery store when they discovered this mess( they took Emmett's jeep).
" Well who ever did this obviously does not know a thing about cars!" Rose said throwing a glare at Emmett.
" Hey it wasn't me this time I swear" Emmett said with a scared look in his eyes.
" That's what you said when you switched my car parts with Alice's, and it seems that whoever did this has about the same skills as you Emmett" Rose growled back
" No I swear that I really didn't do it this time, how could I do it when I was with him
"Yeah how could he?" Jasper backed him up.
" Well someone obviously got to Edwards car's when we weren't around." Rose said pissed. This meant that she would spend the day working on not one but two cars.
" The front door was open when I got home from shopping, I didn't think anything of it because we always leave it open when we go out." Alice said.
"But who would have the balls to go into the house in the middle of the day, one of us could of been home?" Rose asked
" Balls or stupidity" Edward said
" Don't worry little bro when we find out who did this, they're gonna get their asses kicked." Emmett said with a repulsed look on his face.
That's how the next few weeks went. Things mysteriously broke or went missing. They even went after Alice, stealing her new Gucci purse. By the week of Valentines day they must of had a billion dollars worth of stolen goods. The Alice thing was the last straw, they were going to file a report with Charlie. This meant that Charlie was going to meet Edward finally.
" Dad, Edward is going to see you today because he has to file a report at the station, play nice" I said anxious.
" So im finally going to meet your mysterious boyfriend?" Charlie said with a nervous edge to his voice.
" Be nice"
" As long as he's not another Mike Newton, I will be" Charlie nervously chuckled.
When Edward walked in Charlie's jaw dropped. He must of had the same impression that I had when I first met Edward. But that changed as he talked to Edward, Edward was a very likeable guy. By the end Edward and Charlie were really hitting it off. I was surprised. Charlie never usually liked my boyfriends. Well Mike.
" I really like this guy, obviously your taste in men has dramatically improved" Charlie said with a smile.
" Thanks Dad" I was thankful they got along. It made things a lot easier.
" Im just glad that you found a guy that is not mike, I mean he's the first guy that I ever met that has a Vanquish, he has things to be arrogant about , but he isn't , unlike Mike. " Charlie said with a smile on his face.
"Well thank you" was all I could say.
As Valentine's day drew closer I grew more anxious on what to get Edward. What do you get for a guy who paretically has everything? So I decided on some cologne, chocolate and a card.
I had Alice help out with the cologne because she knew his favorite and I got the chocolate at the same store that Alice got Emmett's and Jasper's Christmas presents at ( Alice dragged me back to Wenham for shopping for Jasper's gift). My plan ( which Alice knew of) was to go over there on Valentine's Day and give it to him then.
I awoke on the day in question after hearing the door bell ring. That was odd because no one has really ever been here since Alice came in October. When I opened the door though I found 1 dozen red and white roses waiting for me in a vase. There was a card that was obviously written by Edward but signed anonymous. All it said was " Happy Valentines Day My One And Only, Love, Your Secret admirer!" I could not help but smile as I read the card. That was so cute!
He was so adorable, and I thought that my plan was romantic.
About an hour later I was getting ready to leave when the door bell rang again . When I opened the door there was two presents waiting for me. One was an adorable teddy bear, its fur the color of Edward's hair, and about the size of a 1 yr old child. The other was another dozen roses again in a vase. These were just red though. I found another card, this one typed, saying the exact same thing as the other. Aw that Edward, showering me in gifts. He's so thoughtful. I placed the vase next to the first dozen roses and put the teddy bear into my room. Then I finished getting ready. I couldn't stop thinking about the teddy bear and the two dozen roses as I was heading to the house. When I arrived I found Alice sitting outside with another huge smile on her face. Before I could ask her she blurted out:
" JASPER GOT ME PLANE TICKETS TO ITALY, WE'RE GOING TO MILAN!, THE SHOPPING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!"
I had to admit that I would be excited about a trip to Italy too, though not for the same reason as Alice.
" Oh Alice that's wonderful, when do you leave?"
" We're leaving next Valentine's day, his next year's gift is to buy me what ever I want!"
He shouldn't of promised her that, she's gonna want everything there!
" So did you get my brother's gift yet?"
" Yeah they were wonderful Alice , your brother truly know's what he's doing!"
" So what did he get you?" she asked though she probably already knew
" Two dozen roses and a teddy bear" the last part took Alice off guard, something that typically doesn't happen.
" Really, oh that's so cute!" was all she said.
At that we went inside and I gave my gift to Edward. We thanked each other for the gifts and then kissed. Each kiss felt like that first one. They were the best kisses that I have ever had, there was nothing to compare them too. I just wanted to kiss him for ever but we were interrupted by Alice's grunt.
Valentine's at the Cullen's consisted of each couple taking off in their own direction to do their thing. So Edward and I headed off to a small Italian restaurant on federal hill to get dinner. We wound up in the most private part of the restaurant, which was basically empty. I was so happy. I couldn't believe that he had planned this. We ordered a pasta dish and talked about our day. After we finished talking about that we told each other what we liked about each other. It was amazing. He wanted to know about my family so I told him about my father and mother and Tanya. I told him their whole story. Even though it wasn't that interesting to me, he seemed to really be intrigued by it, he couldn't believe that after my mother left like that, that Charlie had the courage to get married again. I didn't want this night to be over. From the look on his face, I could tell that he was thinking the same thing. Why did there have to be such a thing as time!
We went back to his house to find everyone was home and playing twister again. So we joined in. Again it came down to Alice and Edward. Jasper and Emmett were placing bets on who would fall first. They placed a rule though saying that if it was a draw they would each get half. So when it turned out that's what happened, they wound up owing each other 50 bucks. Jasper looked as though that didn't bother him, but Emmett was not a happy camper. The switch from a frown to a smile told me though that he was probably going to give him counterfeit cash or something like that.
When I got home that night I had another dream of Edward. In this dream he is rescuing me again but not from Emmett. No the man he was rescuing me from had a menacing edge to him, definitely not Emmett's playfulness. I had a real sense of danger from this man. I felt safe in Edwards arms though as he was getting me out of there. I looked behind me and the rest of the Cullens were restraining the man, Emmett looked like he was going to personally kill him. When we walked out into the night was when I finally awoke, to find that teddy bear staring me in the face. As I was looking at it I had the feeling that something bad was about to happen.

After Bella left Alice pulled me aside
"You didn't tell me that you bought her an extra dozen roses and a teddy bear!"
" I didn't buy her that, what are you talking about" I looked at her as if she lost her mind. Which I thought that she did considering that she was there when I bought the roses
" Oh no! Do you think that she actually has a secret admirer/ stalker?" Alice asked worried now.
Who the hell would give MY GIRLFRIEND that as a gift.
" Well whoever it is he / she / or it is , they're not looking for a friend obviously!"
" Oh man she thought it was all you! She is going to freak when she realizes this!" Alice said as her mouth hung open
" Well that may be the least of her problems, for all we know this person is dangerous!" Her luck , they would be.
" What do we do?"
"Keep an eye out for this person, if she gets anything else from "me" that I did not tell you about, then let me know" Alice was obviously up to this task.
She nodded her head and walked away. What the hell man! It figures that this would happen to her. The worst part is that she doesn't even know it.
The protective urge that I always had around her flared up suddenly. I had this bad feeling that something was going to happen. Something that we wouldn't see coming and therefore could not stop. This secret admirer was definitely up to no good. Alice must of had the same feeling because the next time I saw her , she had the weirdest look on her face. Like for the first time in her life she was scared and not for a materialistic possession. Like she knew something was going to happen to someone that she cared for . It almost made me sick seeing that look on her face.
That night both Alice's and Bella's faces haunted me in my dreams. Alice always had that same look on her face. Like something was going to happen and she couldn't stop it. Then it flashed over to Bella. She was holding this small teddy bear in her arms. She had the brightest smile on her face, like someone had given her a trillion dollars or something like that. So she missed it when the teddy bear's arm went behind it's back. It pulled a felt knife from it's back stitching and before she knew it , it tried to stab her. The thing started to act like Chukie or something . The worst part was that I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't even move from the spot I was in. I tried to scream out, but neither Bella or the teddy bear could hear me. When the felt knife obviously didn't work it tried to smother her with it's body. She tried to pull it off with her hands but the darn thing kept on coming back. It was like an evil energizer bunny or something. When I woke up I realized that there was something wrong with that teddy bear!
