Bella woke the next day with swollen eyes from crying so much to find she had 25 messages on her phone most of them were Alice hollering into the phone. Just as she was about to call her friend back there was a pounding at the door. Bella made her way down the stairs to find Alice standing on the porch hands on her dainty hips.

" ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! Do you mind telling me where you were last night and why your phone kept going to voicemail? Jasper and I were worried sick about you."

Bella proceeded to tell her about the previous nights events not leaving anything out. Her friend just sat there and shook her head in disbelief at her brothers actions.

" I cannot believe him…who does he think he is? Well whatever his reason was you sure got him all worked up last night I've never seen him so upset about what someone has said about his actions before."

Bella got showered and dressed for the day. She was heading over to the Cullen's with Alice to watch movies with her and Jasper and later that night Alice had insisted they were going to do makeovers.

Edward was trying to head into the house to get his fix through the back when he saw her laying in the meadow that connected his parents property to the forest. She was wearing a dark blue dress that came to her ankle which she currently had bent over her knee as she wiggled her toes in the warm air. Her hair lay down her back in a thick French braid. The sun was shining brightly above her so it kissed her cheeks pink. She wasn't wearing her glasses as she continued to hum with her eyes closed.

He slowly sat down next to her until he was leaning over her blocking out the sun. She slowly moved her hand away from her face and smiled up at him. She in one quick movement was on her knees in front of him she shouldn't have been capable of such a graceful movement. She pushed up on her heels so that she was now sitting in a crouch. She continued to hum as she slowly lean in towards him. She was leaning in so that her shoulder was tucked into his side so she was almost flush against his chest. He watched her from over his shoulder as she leaned in impossibly closer, so close it was starting to make him nervous. He knew he would have to put some space between the two of them she was much too close, he could feel her breath coming out in warm puffs across his neck. Just as he was about to get up she placed her crown of daisies upon his head smiling widely. He closed his eyes tightly at the image of her so close. When she suddenly whispered to him.

Can I stay here with you till the day breaks?There's something you should knowI ain't got no place to goCan I stay here with you till the day breaks?How happy it would make me to see your face when I wake

She stood up with such quick movement and spun herself around. With movement he knew only a dancer was capable of. Smiling at him as she started humming again.

" What is that?"

She smiled again at him this time he watched as her nose wrinkled. She threw hear head back with a chuckle. Exposing to him the porcelain column of her neck.

" That is a song…" She said before turning and running towards the house.

" Wait where are you going?"

Bella continued her run to the house. Turing her head to watch him stand where she had left him.

" Hold on I'm going to go get something just wait for me."

Bella returned a few moments later with her ipod in hand. Edward was leaning against the tree where she had left him daisy crown still adorning his head. Bella laid herself back on the grass and proceeded to play him the song she had been humming.

" Where did you find his music?"

Bella sighed as she sat up slightly.

" My mother, she is a bit of a free spirit if you can call it that. She use to listen to him all the time and I guess it just sort of stuck with me. One of the few things I have in common with her, well except some of our looks are the same."

" Where is she?"

Bella chuckled to herself a bit before continuing on with her story.

" Well you see my mother is currently touring the country taking pictures of landscapes. She decided after many years of my selfish depression and constant supervision that she was entitled to some " ME" time so off she sent me packing to come live with Charlie…which I can't say is too bad, but it's been hard."

Edward listened to her story and couldn't believe she had suffered from problems much like he had. He never would have pegged her for the time. The times he paid her any notice she seemed perfectly fine to him.

" Well that's not very fair of her. She is suppose to be a parent not running around like some teenager. I didn't know you have been depressed you don't seem the type."

Bella laughed slightly and just shook her head.

" Yes well Edward you don't know very much about me now do you? As for my mother she has always been more of the teenager than I have been. I've always taken care of her. So maybe that is why I act the way I do. But enough of this serious talk lets listen to some music before Alice and Jasper wake up."

Edward settled himself back into the tree as Bella changed some music in her play list. Edward watched as she would sway her feet to the tempo of the music. He figured if she had gone through similar problems as her that he could let his guard down for a little bit.

" Bella dance with me."

Bella looked up to see him already extending his hand to her. He pulled her close to him as they swayed to the music.

The two of them were so wrapped up in dancing with each other they didn't seem to notice the small crowd who had gathered at on the patio.

" Carlislelook at them. I haven't seen him this carefree in ages."

Carlisle smiled down at his wife and gave her a squeeze.

" Me too my dear, hopefully she will continue to keep him this way."
