As I watched him go back to the room down the hall from me, I didn't know what to think. When he caught me down there I thought I would get punished, I always got punished if I was out of my room after 10. Yet he didn't, Edward was really nice. It was the first time in seven years any male was kind to me. He kept his distance, but somehow I knew it was more for my benefit then his own. He registered how I am around men and did his best to accommodate that. I couldn't help but think how cute it was to hear him stumble over his words when he introduced himself, or the look he got on his face like he was arguing with himself inside his head. When he continued to play I just had to get closer, the music was so moving and I could see the meaning of it on his face. He willingly played Clair de Lune again after I asked him then proceeded to tell me about his mom and what the song meant to him. He shared so willingly with me.

The closing of his door brought me from my thoughts. I walked back to my room still cautious of my surroundings, always aware of what's going on. As I lay in bed I couldn't help but think of the promise he made as well as the things about the other people in this house. I apologized for being jumpy around him, I always apologized. But to hear him say that I didn't need to and to hear him talk about being afraid when I see how he acts around those other kids and how he presents himself, I couldn't see it. But when I looked into those deep green eyes I could see it, it was like looking in a mirror.

How am I supposed to give them a chance? How can I trust them, how can I trust him?

He is right down the hall and had every chance to do something to you, but he hasn't yet. He could have done something to you tonight. He didn't

He could still hurt me

You'll never know if you can trust him until you give him a chance

What has he went through, why does his eyes hold the look mine do? How can he find hope in the darkness?

Take the chance to find out, you may learn something.

I have been standing by the door for about 10 minutes now trying to get up the courage to go down to breakfast. I kept replaying the words from last night in my head. Finally I took a deep breath and opened the door. I did my usual routine before getting to the stairs. I started to shake when I got to the bottom of them, my body telling me to turn around but I needed to do this. I needed to give them a chance.

I can't let him win

I stood at the edge of the kitchen doorway as I watched them all interact. They were all smiling and laughing with each other. It brought back a distance memory of when I was a child, but that is all happiness was to me now just a dream a memory. I couldn't have happiness anymore there is too much pain and corruption in me. I watched till I couldn't watch anymore. I wouldn't ruin their happiness they all looked like good people.

I have to get out of here I can't stay here

I turned around and started to leave when I heard her.

"Bella you're here" Alice called to me. I stopped and flinched.

I should have left earlier.

Everything was silent as her feet skipped across the floor. I didn't turn around when I felt her hands wrap around my waist. I closed my eyes and tried not to flinch. I knew she wouldn't hurt me, but I haven't had this much contact with out something bad happening right after it in years.

"I'm so glad you're here we are going to be best friends!" I flinched at her chirpiness.

I am too damaged to have a friend.

I just shook my head at her then I felt calmness as I heard his voice.

"Mary Alice let her go, your scaring her." Alice's hands left me listening to her brother.

"Sorry" I heard her say as I slowly turned around. I was thankful when Alice took a few steps away from me. I looked at all their faces as they stared at me. Alice's held excitement, I was jealous of her for that. The other girl Rosalie showed understanding; I wonder what her story was. Jasper I think his name was expressing some sadness mixed with anger. I would have to stay away from him. The big guy Emmett who scared the crap out of me held amusement right before he leaned down and shoveled his food in his mouth. Carlisle the doctor had concern. This was strange to me I wasn't used to seeing that look on a man's face, it really looked genuine but I wouldn't trust it; I couldn't trust him. Esme's face held something I haven't seen in forever kindness; it was what drew her to me in the first place.

Then I looked at Edward, unlike the others he stared directly back at me, just like he did last night. His face held respect and pride, but it was his eyes that drew me in, just like last night. They held pain and brokenness behind the face. I wasn't sure if this was the same for the others because they wouldn't look back at me. Then he did something I wasn't expecting, he smiled at me. The most beautiful smile I have ever seen, it made me feel safe and peaceful which scared me, but I still found myself smiling back at him. It felt unnatural, because it has been so long since I truly smiled. I loved it though, it felt good.

"Would you like some breakfast Bella? Before Emmett eats it all." He stated, then like that the quiet was gone, everyone acted like they did, before I was noticed just a bit more reserved. I shook my head yes at his question as I slowly walked into the kitchen. Esme handed me a plate filled with food then led me to the table. She sat on one side of me as Alice sat on the other. Edward was across from me. I looked up at him to find him staring back at me. He gave me a small smile as I gave him one back. I silently said thanks to him by just moving my lips.

"No thank you" he said in the same way. I bowed my head letting my hair fall over my face as a shield as I smiled a small smile and blushed.

I still don't know how to trust him, but I would give him and them all a chance until proven guilty. They at least deserved that from me.

Then when the time is right, I'll leave so he won't hurt them because of me.

But what I wouldn't realize until much later is that he was already watching as he formed his plan.
