Chapter 3

EPOV

She's family and everything but I think that one of these days I'm going to kill her. Victoria and her not so subtle attempts to try and make me hers is really annoying. I don't like her at all and she doesn't respect that. One day shes going to annoy me to the point that she wont be whole anymore..

I walk into school seething in my thoughts, obviously looking slightly scarier than usual from the looks and thoughts I'm getting from the people around me. The day up to lunch goes by in a blur, I have been through high school so many times that its quite easy just to tune everything out and just get lost in my thoughts.

I get to lunch and am suddenly bombarded with questions being screamed in my family's head. Rosalie was thinking "What the hell are you doing back?! Oh god now we're doomed. You're going to do something stupid, I just know it."

"Your emotions are all jumbled, calm down Edward." thought Jasper.

"Haha Yes! Your going to fall for the Bella girl and im going to have someone new to pick on!" thought Emmett with a smirk on his face.

And Alice for some reason looked way more excited than usual. Jasper was staring at her with an obvious look of disbelief when he discovered that his calming waves weren't helping calm her down at all. I tried to listen in on her thoughts but once again it was just some stupid boy band song that made half the girls in this town screaming fan girls. I glare at her remembering yesterday when there was a cheesy song going on in her head.

"Tanya was bugging me like no other so I had to come home before I would end up doing something I would deeply regret later." I explained in such a low voice that only my family could hear.

"Well you should have just delt with it and stayed!" thought Rose bitterly.

That's when I noticed that Bella was making her way over here. I don't know what in the world she was thinking. Which is the most unusual thing because I know what everyone is thinking. She looks at me with the cutest look of nervousness and uncertainty on her face. All I want to do is hug her and tell her that she has nothing to worry about and that I'll protect her forever. But I would never do that. Forever meant that I would be taking her soul away. What am I thinking, I don't even know this girl. I shouldn't not be thinking this.

"H-Hi Edward, you think we could talk?" Bella asked with the cutest little stutter and nervousness about her. I shook off these thoughts angry at my self.

"No, I'm not interested and I'd appreciate it if you left me alone." I said more angrily than I meant to. I felt bad for her. Everyone had watched her come over to me only to get rejected.

"Uh-uhm o-okay." Bella said with the most depressed look I've ever seen on a face. I don't know why she would ever feel that depressed. She said she only wanted to talk. She doesn't even know me. On her way back to her table she tripped. The fricken jerk Mike caught her and gathered her up in a hug that I wished I could be giving her.

When school was finally over I headed out to the car to find everyone looking at me anxiously. All of their thoughts were occupied with something repetitive to not let them onto something that was going to happen. I was beyond furious at them all.

"We're not supposed to keep secrets from each other!" I yelled at them angrily. Then I felt waves of calm envelope me. I glare at Jasper who shrugs at me sheepishly.

"Let's just go home." I suggest. We all get into the Volvo and race home.

When we got there I was completely shocked and wondering what the heck my family was thinking. When we pulled into the driveway I heard Carlisle's voice explaining everything.

"Edward, this decision didn't have much to do with you. Charlie and Bella's house burned down and they need somewhere to stay. Esme is overjoyed to have company. Rejecting them when we so obviously have room would look bad. I'm for the most part doing this for Esme. She and I also think that you should give yourself a chance at getting to know Bella. Alice, Jasper and Emmett think so also. We love you and all we want is for you to be happy. So Charlie and Bella will be staying with us until they find somewhere else to stay. We will pretend to sleep at night and we will find excuses for the eating thing." explained Carlisle in his head knowing that I could hear.

I am beyond pissed. I'm shocked. I can't believe my family would do this. I don't like this Bella girl, I wont like Bella.

BPOV

After Charlie dropped the bomb that we were to be staying with the Cullens we had to go shopping since now all we had was what was on our backs. We went to the store and picked up the stuff we needed most, underwear (we both turned bright red and wouldn't look each other in the eye), shampoo and other shower items. After we were done shopping we headed over to the Cullens. My stomach was doing flip flops all the way there.

When we got there we were greeted by a welcoming Carlisle and Esme. I looked around their beautiful house. It was odd how it was seemingly in the middle of the forest. Carlisle showed me up to where I was to be staying.

"Welcome Bella I hope that you have a nice stay while your here." Carlisle said with pure sincerity.

"Thank you so much Dr. Cullen for letting me and my dad stay here while we get back on our feet." I said shyly.

"Oh Bella please, call me Carlisle, and it's no trouble at all. You're both very welcome." he said happily.

I started to look around for bags to unpack when I realized that I didn't have any. I lied down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. How could my life have turned into such a mess. Edward rejects me in front of everyone at lunch. God, the schools going to be talking about this one for ages. And now I have to live with the jerk. I hear a soft knock on the door.

"Come in!" I shout.

"Hi Bella, we haven't been formally introduced. I'm Alice." she said hyperly holding out her hand for me to take it. I shake it timidly.

"Hi, thank you guys for letting us stay." I say unsure of exactly what to say.

"Oh, its no problem! I have a feeling that we're going to be great friends!" she says with an odd look of knowing in her eyes. I wasn't sure exactly what to say so I just smiled. "Oh my gosh. You and Charlie don't have anything do you?"

I shake my head sadly, "Nope, just the few things we got at the store today."

She starts to jump up and down squealing in happiness. I look at her like she's gone insane. "Uhm why are you so happy..?" I ask completely baffled.

"Oh! I'm sorry Bella, I don't mean to seem rude but you obviously have no way of knowing this about me." she leans toward me like shes going to tell me a huge secret, "I may have..a little shopping problem.."

I look at her with understanding finally coming to me. She loves shopping. Charlie and I have nothing. She wants to take us shopping and buy us stuff.

"Oh Alice that's really nice but we couldn't impose anymore." I say trying to think of reasons not to go shopping with her. I don't like shopping..at all.

"Oh Bella, really its no problem, we have plenty of money and I love to shop. So really, you would just be depressing me if we don't go shopping." she explained matter-of-factly.

I crinkle my eyebrows together in frustration. "Okay, I don't want you to be depressed."

"YAY!! Ooh Bella! We're going to have so much fun!!" she squealed happily. "We'll head out first thing tomorrow!"

"Yay.." I say in the worst impression of excitement I've ever done.

She laughs, rolls her eyes at me and practically dances out of the room.

"Bella! It's time for dinner!" I hear Esme call from downstairs.

I head downstairs to find all of the Cullens staring at what I thought to look like an extremely delicious me, but for some odd reason they had a slight look of disgust on their faces. Alice greeted me with a bright smile along with Carlisle and Esme. Rosalie just kind of glared at me. Jasper, Emmett, and Edward just didn't pay much attention, they seemed to be to into giving their food an odd look. I sat down in between Alice and my dad and we started eating. At least me and my dad did, but then we noticed that no one else was eating so I looked around the table wondering what was up, I guess they took that as their cue because then they started to eat. Conversation at the dinner table wasn't very interesting, Carlisle and my dad were talking about something concerning our living arrangements and I didn't want to interrupt, I wanted to be out of here as soon as possible.

"Esme, thank you the meal was delicious." I say to her. Esme really was an amazing cook.

"Oh, why thank you Bella, I'm glad that you think so." She says beaming.

Rosalie and Emmett ask if they may be excused, Esme says that they can go. So, I decide that I want to be excused to. "May I be excused?"

"Why of course dear, Alice stuck some fresh towels and some cloths that she think will fit you in your room." Esme says pleasantly.

"Thank you" I say as I rush up the stairs eager to take a shower to try and wash away the stress from one of the worst days of my life.
