Sorry for the long wait I hope you enjoy :D

EPOV

We stared at each other for what seemed like a long time. I tried not to move much so I didn't scare her even more, even though I had heard my mom's voice.

Stop staring at her nimrod and say something

You know she isn't going to Speak

"Hi," I said a little loudly and rough. She jumped when she heard me and moved further back into the corner.

Good going buddy

She hasn't seen another person let alone man since she got here and all you can think of to say is Hi

"I'm Edward," I said again much slower and calmer.

Again with the words! Show her that you are not going to hurt her

"I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I just needed to get away. I'll stop if you want me to," I said much calmer and looking her in the eyes. She slowly looked up at me and shook her head no. "So I can continue?" I asked just to make sure.

She shook her head yes, so I calmly and slowly sat back down on the bench. "If there is something specific you want to hear just let me know," I told her and then closed my eyes and started to play the rest of my usual songs. As I did I heard her move closer to me. She was really quiet and careful. I refused to look up though, there was so much riding on these few moments and I couldn't ruin it. I wouldn't ruin it. After I finished playing Esme's song I finally heard her quiet voice and it was like the angels had opened up the heavens and let one of their own down.

"Clair de Lune, can I hear it again please," she said. I didn't speak I just went into the song. Glad that she finally spoke to me. After I finished I realized that this song must mean something to her, so I decided to tell her what it meant to me.

"Clair de Lune was my mom's favorite song. The first one she ever taught me to play. So every night I come down here and play it for her. I know she's gone, but when I play I feel closer to her. Your actually the first I let listen to me play, these songs at least." I felt myself saying. Surprised that I did.

"It was my mom's favorite too. She used to make me dance around listening to it. It's the few good memories of her I have." I finally looked over at her and saw she was staring at me, although she was still curled up. I smile at her.

"When I first listened to it I absolutely hated it. I remember fighting with her when she wanted to teach me how to play it. When she finally got me behind the piano I fell in love." I told her running my hands across the keys.

"What happened to her?" she asked so timidly like I was going to get angry for it. She wasn't far off usually when someone asked about my parents I through a rage, but she has already gotten me to talk about them more then I have since they died. So I couldn't deny her now. I bowed my head looking at the scar on my wrist from that night.

"She and my father died seven years ago, my sister and I have been with Aunt Esme and Uncle Carlisle since."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry." She said curling into herself more. I looked at her.

"It's ok. What about your parents, where are they?" I asked wondering just like her. I watched her hesitate and take a deep breathe. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"It's just that I haven't talked or heard from my parents in seven years. I don't even know if they're both still alive." She said with tears in her eyes. I hated to see her cry; when she started to shake I got up slowly and walked to her. She jumped back quickly. I stopped and held my hands up.

"I'm not going to hurt you, look I won't touch you, but if you need anything, I'll go get it for you." She just looked at me with tears still streaming down her face. "Do you want some water, tissue, both?"

She shook her head yes, so I thought it would be best to get her both. I walked around her to the kitchen, but kept a wide berth. After I pulled two water bottles from the fridge I grabbed the box of tissue Aunt Es kept up in the cabinet and made my way back into the front room. I sat down in the chair on the opposite side of the table from Bella. I then proceeded to lay the tissue and water bottle on the table and pushed it to her.

After sitting in silence for a few minutes she finally spoke. My water was almost finished by then, she barely touched hers. "Thank you, I'm sorry I'm so jumpy." She apologized. I couldn't understand why she did. She did nothing wrong, she was just scared. I understood that perfectly, but she was scared because of whatever happened to her.

She might think it will happen again Edward

No not while I'm around. No one will hurt her.

Then Show her that.

"You don't have to be sorry Bella, I get it. You're Afraid, but what ever happened to you, won't happen here. I know you don't believe me, but give us a chance. Give Esme a chance. She is the kindest person I have ever known. You see all of us here have some kind of horrible past. That's why Esme and Carlisle took us all in. We were all afraid like you once. Sometimes we all still are. I know that I am always afraid of my past and that it will come back. But They will protect me, give them a chance to do the same for you. Come to breakfast in the morning. I promise you that everything will be ok. I won't let anyone hurt you, ever." I told her. She just stared at me and behind the fear in her eyes I saw some hope. So I gave her my special smile and stood up. "I'm going to bed, feel free to stay down here as long as you like just turn the light out when you're done. "

As I turned to leave I heard her speak. "Can you take me back to my room?" I shook my head yes and heard her get up. I walked in front of her so she knew that I couldn't trap her anywhere. It was quiet as we walked up the stairs, in the dark, but I felt her grab a hold of my shirt as I led us up the stairs. Once we got onto the third floor she let go. I turned to her.

"Well it was nice to meet you Bella; I hope to see you tomorrow at Breakfast, if not then have a good day tomorrow. Goodnight." I said then turned around and went down the hallway away from her door to my own. When I got to my door I peeked behind me and still saw her figure standing there. I opened my door and finally walked inside.

I would come to find out that it was the first of many nights where she would sneak down to listen to me play my nightly routine with a conversation following after.
