Chapter 2

EPOV

"Good Morning Alice, whats up?" I good-naturedly asked Alice.

"Uhm..Edward..we kinda have a problem" Alice said with an unusual look of seriousness written all across her face.

"What kind of problem Alice?" I looked at her suspiciously. I was trying to read her mind but it was just continually repeating some cheesy boy band song.

"Jasper!! Can you come in here, actually, we should just have a family meeting. Everyone, can you come down here please?" Alice called to the house.

Everyone came down from wherever they were in the house to see what Alice was going on about this time. "Alice, why don't you just tell me whats going on." She rolled her eyes at me, "Because, this kinda involves the whole family." I growled, "Fine Alice, I just want to know already."

Once everyone was gathered around the table Alice finally spoke. "Okay, so, I had a vision that Edward falls in love with the new girl, Bella Swan."

There was different thoughts all around the table. Esme was whirling with thoughts of happiness that I could finally have a chance at what everyone else here has. Carlisle was worrying about how I would take this. Rosalie was beyond furious. Emmett was thinking of ways to prank the human girl. Jasper was trying to make everyone calm. Alice was still thinking the annoying boy band song. "What?! How is this possible?! I will not allow this to happen! It not only puts our entire family at risk of the Volturi but will ruin a poor innocent human girls life." I exclaim with rage.

That's when Alice finally shows me what she was trying to hide about me in her head. There were visions of me and this Bella girl having fun in parks and hunting together, of her getting along with everyone in the family and making me so happy that I didn't even recognize myself in the visions. A part of me wanted to go find Bella right now and talk to her and make these visions come true, but another part of me wanted to just go the other direction and not take away this innocent persons life by turning her into one of us.

"Edward hunny, don't you wanna at least give it a try?" Esme asked sweetly. "No, I will not endanger our family or take away Bella's chance at a full happy life." I responded.

"I think that he's right. He should just leave that Bella girl alone." Rosalie said with a menace in her voice. "Rosalie, don't you think that Edward should have a chance at what we all have?" Esme suggested with sadness in her voice. "Well I think that I should just leave Bella alone. There is no reason to totally avoid her. I can still go to school. But I will give her no reason to think that I'm interested."

"Sounds reasonable to me!" Rosalie said cheerfully.

"If that's what you want.." said Esme unsurely.

Alice unfortunately had a vision right then that in Biology the next day I would talk to Bella for the whole period during a lab and would inevitably fall in love with her. It was right after that vision that I decided that I'm going to Denali. Alice's vision then shifted to me being at Denali and hanging out with a pleasantly surprised Victoria. I bolt out the door before anyone has a chance to say anything.

When I get to Denali I am greeted by a very happy Victoria. "Hey Edward, and to what do I owe this pleasure?" I looked at her and forced a smile upon my face, "I just needed a break from Forks, some...things were happening that I would rather avoid." She gave me a knowing look, "Or is that just an excuse and you really came all the way down here to see me?" I rolled my eyes, "No Victoria, I told you before, I have no romantic interest in you." She pouts, "Comon Eddy-poo, just give me a chance." I sigh, "No Victoria, I'll just leave." She gives up, "Fine, lets go inside and tell Carmen, Eleazar, Katrina, and Kate that your here.

"Hello Everyone, I hope I'm not imposing. I just really needed to get away from Forks for a while." I explained to the coven that appeared before me. "Its okay Edward, your always welcome here, you're definitely not imposing, care to explain what your escaping from Forks that you, the strong vampire you are, cant handle?" I sigh and explain, "Alice had a vision that I fall in love with a human girl that just recently moved to Forks. I think it would be best to avoid this happening so I am going to stay away for the time being."

"Ah, I see, this makes sense. Well you are welcome here for as long as you see fit." Eleazar said. "Thank you everyone." I smiled.

Sadly I was once again left alone with Tanya. "So you came here to avoid a little human girl. To stop yourself from falling in love with her. Does this mean what I think it means? That you actually do have feelings for me?" Tanya said getting a little excited toward the end. "No Tanya, stop!" I growled leaving the house to go hunting.

BPOV

I wake up this morning with a little extra hop in my step excited for the day that lies ahead. I want to try to talk to Edward again in Biology. I grab an apple, say good bye to Charlie and head to school. When I get there I am forced to have small talk with Mike until the First period bell rings. When lunch finally arrives I am only to be disappointed because all of the Cullens are sitting there minus Edward. I want to go over and ask where he is but the one called Rosalie is glaring at me, so I just sit down next to Angela. "Hey Angela, do you know where Edward is?" I ask. "Uh no, but why do you ask Bella, I thought Jessica told you yesterday..Edward doesn't go out with anybody. If you go after him you'll just have your heart broken." Angela explained carefully. "Yeah..but there's just something about him.." I said trying to explain my want to go after him. Angela laughs, "Well duh, hes gorgeous. But I don't want to see you get hurt."

I myself had a feeling that there was more to him than just his gorgeousness. When I looked into his eyes for that split second yesterday I saw a wiseness, and kindness that I haven't seen before and I wanted to talk to him and get to know him more. But..maybe I'm not good enough for him..I'm just plain, there isn't really anything special about me..

When school is finally over I head home to find Billy and Jacob over again. I walk inside and ask, "Soo...are you guys coming over everyday?" Billy then responded with a twinkle in his eye, "Nah, Jacob here just really wanted to talk to you that's all." I probably then turned as bright as a tomato, and Jacob grumbled, "Dad shut up!" Billy and Charlie laughed and headed into the kitchen.

I sigh, "Yes Jacob?" He looks around the room nervously, "I wanted to say that I'm sorry for putting my head in where it doesn't belong. I shouldn't be the judge telling you who to like and who not to like. I just know that ." I look at him in complete bafflement, "What?!" He blushes, "I said that..oh never mind its not that important.." I punch him teasingly on the arm, "What, are you to wienie to tell me?" He looks at me with a twinkle in his eye, "Nah, I'll tell you but you have to promise me something." I look at him with confusion, "Okay, what?" He smiles at me, "Promise that what I'm about to tell you wont ruin our friendship." I give him a funny look, " of course Jacob." He takes a deep breath and says the words really fast, but not as jumbled as before, "." I look at him with complete shock on my face. I have no idea what to say. He was looking around the room avoiding my eyes but he looks right into them now. "Bella, say something!"

"Jake..I'm sorry..I don't like you like that." I finally manage to stutter. "Hey Bella it's okay. As long as we're still friends, we're still friends right?" I smile weakly at him, "Right." I hope that this doesn't make our friendship awkward-like..

At school the next day I anxiously await the arrival of lunch. When it finally arrived I had quite a lot of butterflies in my stomach, and good reason Edward was back! I go and I take my regular seat by Angela and try to pay attention to the conversation. But for some reason I just cant stay focused, I kept glancing over to the Cullens table to see if Edward was looking at me again..he wasn't..

When lunch is almost over I finally get the courage to go up and talk to him. "H-Hi Edward, you think we could talk?" I asked nervously. "He looked up at me with menacing eyes, "No, I'm not interested and I'd appreciate it if you left me alone." Everyone had watched me walk across the cafeteria and they saw him completely reject me. This is the most embarrassing day ever. I mumble, "uh-uhm o-okay." and I head back to my seat next to Lauren who's looking at me with knowing eyes, and I trip and almost fall flat on my face but Mike caught me. "Hey there Bella it's okay, we told you he was a jerk." he said gathering me up into a hug that I didn't even want. I just wanted to go home and wallow in the rejection.

On my way home I saw a weird black cloud of smoke hovering over the area where my house was. My stomach gave a little lurch and and sped up the truck. As I got to my house I saw Fire Engines and unfortunately I saw my house burned into a big pile of rubbish. My stomach dropped. Wheres Charlie?! Thank god he ran up to my window so I knew that he was fine. "Hey Bella.." he said guiltily. "Dad! What happened?! Are you okay??" He kinda looks around, "Yeah, I'm fine..i just kind of had an accident.."

"What kind of accident??" I asked bewildered on what he could have been doing that cause the whole house to burn down.

"Well..I thought that I would surprise you with dinner..and I'm not really sure what I did wrong but the kitchen got caught on fire and I rushed out and used the neighbors phone to call the police..next thing I know they're here and the house is beyond saveable.."

I couldn't help myself but I started laughing. "Oh dad, what are we going to do?"

"Well, I got that taken care of." He said obviously quite pleased with this, "We're going to move in with the Cullens until we have a better living situation. I was talking to Dr. Cullen and he said he would be more than happy to have us move in for the time being."

I sit there staring at him in complete and utter shock. Edward told me to leave him alone and that he had no interest with me..and now I have to live with him. I hate my life. How could things have gone so completely and utterly wrong.

"Oh dad..that sure is something.." I muttered.

Yay! i finished my second chapter. Review and tell me what you think! Help me improve it. :D
