BPOV-

I stopped cold in my tracks, my breath felt as if it had been sucked from my body.

Edward stood behind the piano seat, his body bent forward, and his face inches from a stunningly beautiful and elegant woman. His arms were wrapped around her almost in an embrace, his hands hovering over hers as he placed them on the correct keys.

The scene itself was innocent enough and yet somehow it made me insecure and uncomfortable. He was completely preoccupied with his student, so much so that he didn't even realize I was present until I thought my rapidly beating heart would fly from my chest.

"Bella?" Edwards his whole body jerked back from the piano in surprise like he'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "What are you doing here?"

"I was worried, you never answered the phone. What are you doing?" I accused the tears turning from those of abandonment to ones of betrayal.

"NOTHING!" he almost shouted. "I, um, well after I finished showing Tanya the boundaries," he stuck his hands in his pockets and then removed them "that's probably when I missed your call," now rubbing his hair with his hands "I was, ah, playing your lullaby for her and she said she would like to learn the piano so I was showing her, the basics of it. How rude of me, I'm not thinking clearly, you haven't even met Tanya." He rambled awkwardly shuffling his feet. It wasn't like him to be so nervous.

Tanya was probably the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen, more beautiful than Rosalie by far. Her hair was a magnificent strawberry blonde color that waved below her shoulders almost to her waist, her skin was white and her eyes they weren't butterscotch or honey they were an actual gold.

"Nice to meet you" I held out my hand and pasted a grim smile on my face, I would have much rather fisted it but I would act civil as not to embarrass Edward or his family. She merely took it for a moment barely touching it to her cold skin and so quickly that Edward missed it wiped her hand on her black leather skirt. Alice had seen it though; she looked like one of those old cartoons where the steam would billow out of her ears.

"Ed, you didn't tell me how adorable she is, I had a pet just like her when I was about your age." Tanya stared at me, as she laid her hand on his arm. He immediately took a step to the side away from her and Tanya frowned. At that moment I realized exactly what Alice had been trying to tell me at the mall, what Tanya wanted but she was not going to get it.

"Bella is not a pet." Edward turned toward her his voice suddenly cold. At least some of his chivalry was still in tack.

"My mistake, oh look my sisters are back!" Tanya smiled her eyes brightening as the rest of the Cullen's plus a few new additions returned. "Kate, Irina look who has joined us. This is Edwards mate Bella." She pretended to be excited but I felt her hostility.

Kate came immediately to me and hugged me. She was pretty, long raven hair swept up in a ponytail. She was in a casual pair of jeans and a designer t-shirt. "Bella, I'm so happy to finally meet you. I have heard so much about you, I feel like you're part of the family already." She genuinely smiled. I felt at ease with her immediately. I knew she and I would get along great. Irina stood in the background, she stared at me for a moment something I couldn't decipher crossed her face. She didn't make contact as the others had, she just simply said "hello."

I could tell that she was troubled, obviously the quiet brooding type. She and Edward would make a good pair in personality although her beauty was more subtle. She had a more natural girl next door look with her dirty blonde hair resting on her shoulders and rounder cheeks; she was a little taller than me.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well." I tried to sound reassuring; an unintentional yawn followed.

"Bella love, don't you think we should be getting you home?" Edward asked suddenly aware of my human need for sleep.

"Yes, Bella, Isn't it past your bedtime?" Tanya blinked her eyes innocently. "You really need your beauty rest."

I heard someone snicker and Irina added. "Yes, and I just LOVE those pajamas" she mashed her lips to gather to keep a giggle from escaping.

The horror of their words struck me. I was still wearing the torn pair of sweatpants and holy t-shirt that had left the house from in panic. My hair was a rat's nest and my face had no makeup, not that I wore much anyway, but I was sure that it didn't help with red puffy eyes I had from crying. I bit my lip my eyes downcast, why did always make such good first impressions.

Kate looked mortified at her sisters callousness, Alice was livid, even Rosalie who joined our little introductions earlier, looked a little pissed.

"Bella looks beautiful in anything." Edward stern voice echoed through the living room, he gently placed his hand on my back to escort me out.

"It was really nice to meet you Bella," Kate called. "I would love to get to know you better sometime."

"Anytime." I said seriously over my shoulder to her, and only her.

Edward drove me home, carefully making sure that Charlie didn't hear us return, he assured me that he was asleep as he tucked me into bed.

"Bella, love, I know that I scared you this evening and for that I truly apologize but I swear I will not leave you again, how can I prove it to you." He traced a line from my wrist to my elbow and back.

"I'm sorry Edward; I guess I just over reacted." I sighed. "I just panicked, and then I saw you with her."

"You know you are quite adorable when you're jealous," he kissed my nose. "Is it wrong that I like it?"

"Yes" I grumbled as I snuggled into my pillow and he chuckled again.

"You know," he cuddled beside of me playing with a piece of my hair. "If you decided to marry me, you wouldn't have to worry about Tanya." His cools breathe sent chills down my spine and not in a bad way.

I smiled Edward had been unrelenting in his quest for me to accept his proposal. It wasn't him I was unsure of it was marriage itself.

"If you wanted to cheat why would a wedding ring make a difference?" I asked.

"I wouldn't want cheat but hypothetically a wedding ring is a promise of commitment, a vow and as you know I don't take those lightly.

"It's a commitment alright; I should be committed for even thinking about it."

"Isabella, I love you." He sighed. "I'm serious when I say I want to marry you."

"That's the tragedy of it Edward, I know you are."

We sat silently facing each other until I drifted to sleep. The next morning at breakfast I was going over the list of things to do today. School was a must obviously, than to work for a few hours before heading to the reservation to tutor Jacob. I knew Edward wouldn't like it but that was just how things had to be and seeing as he and Alice weren't going to be at school today I wasn't going to have to deal with an all day lecture. I had planned on going to work afterwards but last night Ms. Newton had called and asked if it would be okay to switch shifts with Katie. I agreed that would leave me this evening to get all of the housework I'd been neglecting caught up.

I got to school with time to spare, I had a history report due on the civil war next week and I hadn't even started on it yet. I walked down the fairly quiet hallway; most of the kids in my class hadn't arrived yet opting to wait until the last minute to join us. I opened my locker to place my books inside when a black rose and large manila envelope fell out.

I felt the hysterics rising in my chest as I hesitantly picked up the envelope; my hands were shaking so badly that I barely got the clasp open. I pulled out the contents and gasp. Inside were pictures of me with Charlie, Edward, Alice, Jacob and my friends from school and all set at different locations in my room, the meadow, the school, our house, at Newton's store and the mall. There was also another note…

ANY TIME, ANY PLACE, ANY ONE.
