BPOV

"Mom!" I yelled down the stairs. I had no idea what to wear. I was going back to Forks today. We were living in Forks again, though dad worked in Port Angeles as to not raise suspicion. Working in Forks would have been a bad idea; my family had been living there for about 4 years when I joined them; that was why we moved in the first place, and all the time they had lived there, dad had worked at the hospital. As he didn't change at all, it might be a little weird to see him again, after 9 years and he had not changed at all. It was tough living with 7 beautiful vampires; first of all because I was the only one to change. I was the only one who needed food; I was the only one who needed to sleep. And as I talk in my sleep, that was no fun.

It was a very long time ago I had had a nightmare about Charlie; sometime they came back around the day I ran away, and around my birthday. Rose and Alice were my best friends. They were the ones who helped me through puberty; what with Em picking on my constantly, and me freaking out when I got my first period. When I was 14 and the crush on Edward still hadn't gone away, I felt like I had to tell Rose. Alice knew, of course, but she had kept quiet. Rose found it really cute. I found it annoying that the stupid crush wouldn't go away. I made Rose swear she wouldn't tell anyone. I still remember her face.

FLASHBACK

Rose, Ali and I were home alone. All the others were out hunting, but Alice and Rose said they wanted to stay and have girls-time. It was around dinner-time so I made dinner. Rose and Ali said they would love to help, but I enjoyed making my own food so I said they could just wait for me in the living room. When dinner was done, I took a plate and plumped down on the couch. I think Rose had died to know who I was crushing on since Emmett said it. She had been bugging me to say it, but as I thought it would go away, I refused to tell her. Now it was a year ago. I felt like I owed it to her. Alice gave me a knowing look, and I glared at her.

"It's not funny Alice." I said. She just grinned at me. I ate my food, glaring at it. Why wouldn't that crush go away? Ugh. When I was finished eating, I placed it slowly on the table. Rose was looking expectantly at me, like she knew I was about to tell them something. I cursed their supernatural abilities. Especially Alice's. But it was like Rosalie was so good at reading people that she just knew things. It might have to do with the fact that my face was burning and my heart was racing. I cursed her super hearing. I sighed.

"Fine!" I exclaimed. They grinned like twins would.

"What is it?" Rose asked all innocent. I glared at the couch.

"I'll tell you." I huffed. She beamed.

"But you must swear, that you'll never, ever, ever tell anybody." I said to her all serious.

"Cross my heart and hope to die." She said. I rolled my eyes.

"Really funny Rose; you can't die." I muttered. She just grinned at me.

"Yeah, well, Ali already knows." I said, annoyed. Rose looked hurt.

"Yeah, just because of her stupid visions. No offense Ali." I looked at her. She rolled her eyes, but smiled at me. Rose looked a little better.
"I think Jazz knows too." I raised an eyebrow at Alice. She nodded and I cursed under my breath.

"Language." Rose said.

"Like you don't curse know and then." I shot back. She raised her eyebrows.

"Time of the month again?" I scowled at the window and crossed my arms across my chest.

"Thought so." She grinned. I pursed my lips and sighed again.

"Fine. It's just this stupid crush I have; it won't go away." I whined. Alice and Rosalie laughed at me.

"I knew it!" Rose said.

"Sure you did."

"So who is it?"

"Like you don't already know Alice." I looked at Rose, and she made puppy dog eyes.

"Fine. It's Edward. Don't laugh and don't. Tell. Anybody!" I warned. First she looked all knowing. Then she laughed and Alice muttered 'finally she admits it.'.

"Rose I swear to God, if you tell Emmett, I'll burn you." She just laughed.

"No you won't." Looking at her, I smirked.

"No I wouldn't, but I'll burn your closet." She looked horrified. Alice looked even more so.

With that threat it mind, she promised she would watch her thoughts around Eddie-boy as she put it.

"Thanks Rose." I whispered, and we continued our girly night.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Mom!" I yelled again, even though I knew she had heard me already. It's no fun starting freshman year at High School, knowing nobody and not knowing what to wear. And because it wasn't my classmates first day at school. They had been there for about a month now.

Mom was in my room with breakfast in 2 seconds.

"What is it sweetie?" She asked me as I dug in. The food was delicious, and it tasted so much like home, that it soothed me.

"Is Alice and Rose out hunting? I need some fashion advice." She grinned but shook her head. I sighed with relief. Alice darted through the door with Rose after her the next second.

"Do my ears detect fashion-emergency?" Alice asked. I rolled my eyes at her but nodded.

"I have no idea what to wear." I told her, pleading her to help me.

"Does this mean we can do your hair and makeup too?" Rose asked. I really didn't like dressing up so much, but I owed it to them, right?

"Sure…" I said, a little nervous.

"Don't worry, we won't go overboard." Alice smiled at me. I kissed their cheeks, and hugged my mom.

"Thanks for breakfast mom." She smiled at me, and left the room to go wash up. As soon as the door had closed behind her, I was standing face to face with two determined vampires with a mission. I gulped; they looked kinda frightening.

"So, Rose, I think she should wear the white skinny jeans with that t-shirt and vest we bought last week." Alice said, looking off into nothing, probably seeing how it would work out. Rose nodded, and said something about my hair. I zoned out and let them do their thing.

"Bells, sweetie, take a shower; we'll have everything ready when you're done." Alice said while smiling at me. Smiling a little uncertainly back, I skipped to the shower and hopped in. I was kind of excited. I knew nobody, but maybe I did. Okay, I know that didn't make any sense, but if all my friends from grade-school still lived in Forks, I knew them, even if it was just by name and how they looked 10 years ago. Wow, had I already lived with the Cullens for so long? I wonder how he did when I wasn't there to make his breakfast and clean. I was filled with rage as I thought of him. I had spent the most of my life fearing my biological father. A child should never fear her father, it's not right. I sneered at my thoughts, and quickly calmed down before Jazz would come barging into my room to calm me down. Now that would have been fun. More like embarrassing.

"BELLA! Hurry up, we only have an hour!" Rose yelled. I rolled my eyes.

My family insisted on driving me on my first day. Well, I hadn't exactly turned 16 yet, so I couldn't drive myself either, but still. They did go to school in Port Angeles, but with their driving, I would be in school before everybody else in my year would not even have left their houses, and they would be there in plenty of time too.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I yelled back, and laughed at the huff that came from my room. I quickly dried off, and took on my underwear.

"Alice!" I screamed at her. I was really mad at her right now. Where was the underwear I had put out?

"Oh, just take it on, and come out here." She said. Cursing her under my breath, I did as she told me, and walked into my room, scowling at her. That little pixie just smiled at me. I kept shooting her daggers. Rose rolled her eyes at me, and shooed me over to my bed, where my clothes were. Okay, I had to admit the outfit was cute. It was a black t-shirt with our crest on. When Alice said bought? Yeah, well, she had ordered it beforehand, and told them to put our crest on it.

Over the t-shirt, she gave me a cowboy-vest, you know; the kind that has 1-2 inch wide straps and stops mid-stomach.

When the clothes were on and I had stopped glaring at Alice, I sat down and let them work on my hair and makeup. I realized just then, that this would become a daily occurrence. I sighed.

While they did my hair, we chatted about this and that, not anything really serious. When they were done, I had to say I was impressed. My makeup was subtle, mascara with a soft kind of brown as smokey eyes; it brought out my brown eyes. I had no blush on seeing as I blushed over nothing, and there was a constant blush to my face, but they had applied a little lip gloss. My hair was half up, half down, and done in soft curls.

"Nice. Thanks for the help girls, love you!" I said as I stood up with a smile. They smiled at me, and I danced down the stairs, my toe caught and I fell - right into the arms of Edward.

I blushed a deep scarlet, and bit my lip. He laughed a little, and helped me stand upright.

"Thanks" I said, still biting my lip. He just rolled his eyes and ruffled my hair.

"Hey! Rose and Ali are not going to like this!" I yelled at him, secretly enjoying the look on his face. He paled as Alice and Rose raced down the stairs and stared yelling at him about how long it took them, and how perfect my hair was. I laughed.

"Girls, I think you have scared the living day-lights out of him enough. My hair is fine. Look." I said as I did a small turn so they could see. Alice smiled as she saw there was nothing wrong with it. Edward was glaring at me. I smirked at him and made my way towards the door.

"Hey Pixie and Blondie, are you driving me or what?" I yelled and grinned as I heard them huff.

I walked through the living room where Em and Jazz were sitting, just watching TV and waiting for the girls.

"Hi Bells. You look good!" Emmett stated as I walked over to them to say bye.

"Thanks Emmie. I could say the same to you" He just laughed and ruffled my hair.

"Okay, seriously, what is it with you guys and ruffling my hair? Do you have a death wish?" I said as I smoothed it out.

"WHAT?" Rose and Alice screeched at the same time. They came storming into the room with wild looking faces. Emmett looked like he wanted to go running in fear. I laughed and hugged him before going over to Jazz. Sitting next to him didn't bother him anymore. He told me he had been worried about living with a human, but that it had helped him. I was just glad I could.

"At least you know not to cross those two." I said as I plopped down next to him. He smiled at me and whispered: "Do you want to see something funny?" I nodded and grinned wickedly.

He then proceeded to send a wave of rage to the girls. They became even more frightening and Emmie the big oaf covered in fear and let out a little squeal. I started laughing so hard I couldn't even breathe.

"Breathe Bella." I heard Edward say. He was sitting right next to me, and I hadn't even seen him coming. I let out a surprised squeak and my heart started racing embarrassing loud. Only Jasper knew it only was partly because of the surprise. I was very impressed they had been able to not think about my little, uhm, thing for Edward a secret.

"Jeez Edward, would you mind not scaring me?" I said as I tried to calm myself down.

"A little help, Jazz?" I asked as my heart still wasn't beating normally. I felt the calm and embraced it, closing my eyes and breathing deeply.

"Sorry Bella" Edward whispered, and I could practically hear the smile in his voice.

"It's okay; and thanks Jasper." Smiling at them, I got up, hugged them goodbye. Mom came in and said bye and I was in the entrance where I saw what Alice she wanted me to walk in.

"ALICE!"

"What sweet Bella?" She said innocently. I narrowed my eyes at her.

"I am not wearing these; you know what happens." She wanted me to walk in 3 inch heels. It was not as bad as something she had tried to put me in before, but still. She started pulling her puppy dog eyes.

"No, Alice, you know I can't walk in those deathtraps. Please give me some flats." I pleaded with her. I pulled her own puppy eyes at her, and she huffed in annoyance.

"Fine, but only because I know you can't walk in them." She was gone 2 seconds and came back with a pair of black flats.

"Thanks Alice." She rolled her eyes.

We were driving in Rose's BMW M3 and just singing along to the music. I loved my sisters; they were the best to ever exist.

I hope you liked it! This chapter was fun for me to write, because I finally get to make her a teenager! :D Lol! (=

Please leave a comment, tell me how ya feel and think of this chapter.. ;)
