Recap-

"Well Bella, I shouldn't tell you the truth, it'll cause trouble for my family and Rosalie will then be angrier with me. But Bella, I felt drawn to you and I can't bear the thought of not being nothing but honest with you. I must say before we start and I do hope that you take what I say to you very seriously, your life might depend on it."

"Alright Edward, I will but I'm sure that whatever it is, I'll still feel the same way about you and your family."

Chapter 10: Truth

"Bella, Alice and I sort of have special gifts. You see, Alice can see the future and I can read people's minds. Jasper also has a gift; he can bend one's mood. Do you understand?"

You can read people's minds? What am I thinking right now?" I asked, curious and then thought to myself, 'Think of anything but kissing him.'

"Yes Bella, I can read the minds of everyone who's in here with the exception of one person. That person is you. I listen for your thoughts and I get nothing."

"Edward, is there something wrong with me?"

He laughed.

"Why are you laughing at me? It's that bad?"

"No silly Bella, I tell you that part of my family and I have "gifts" and you think there's something wrong with you? You're the most wonderful person I've ever wanted to get to know."

I blushed of course. "Edward, I'm glad you feel that way but I'm nothing too special. You and your family are so beautiful Edward. I'm just glad that I get to have most of you in my life as my friends."

"Bella, there's more about me and my family that I'll share with you later, it's getting late and as much as I hate to take you home, your father will wonder why you aren't home if he makes it there before we do." Then he kissed the top of my head and held my hand as we walked to his car.

We continued to talk as we drove. "Edward, just how fast are we driving?" I asked. The trees were just a blur and I couldn't see anything.

"Don't worry Bella, I've never been stopped before or have I ever wrecked a car." He said as he thought to himself, 'Not that I could get hurt if I did.'

"Will you please slow down just till you are under 100mph at least; my father is the police chief you know."

"Bella, I would never let anyone or anything hurt you. You're very important to me."

We pulled into my driveway in less than thirty minutes from the time we left the Gyro place. Edward held my hand all the way home and had put the heat on high so I wouldn't be cold. I think I know what he still wants to tell me but I won't tell him, I think he's a vampire.

"Bella love, what are you thinking?"

"About you and how I wish you would kiss me again." I said and blushed at the same time.

"Most happily love, I find nothing that I would like to do more." Then he walked over, opened my car door, and helped me out.

My dad was still not home and probably wouldn't be till the wee hours of the morning.

"Edward, would you like to come in for while? My dad won't be home for hours."

"Sure Bella, I would love to. Can I ask you who Jacob is?"

Oh crap, what should I tell him? Jake is my pretend boyfriend that says he wants to be my real boyfriend? No, that won't do, but I can't lie to him, I just simply can't. Besides, I am a bad liar and I will not start being one. Okay Bella, just tell him and stop talking to yourself.

"Edward, let's go inside and I'll explain the whole Jake thing, alright?"

"Lead the way, love." So we went into my house with the key that was under the doormat.

"Sit down Edward, Jacob and I are best friends with some benefits." Edward frowned and moved farther away from me. "No Edward, it's not like what it sounded, we've only kissed and pretended to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Jacob asked me to be his girlfriend for real but I told him I didn't know because I kind of have feelings for someone else."

"You do, Bella? Do I know this person? I have never met Jake, have I?"

"Yes, yes, and I'm not sure." I said with a slight laugh. "Edward, can we talk later and just kiss now?" Then I smiled at him and he smiled his crooked smile back at me and moved closer to me.

I leaned into Edward and he started to kiss to me. I quickly tangled my fingers into his hair and pulled myself closer to him. We pulled apart and he looked into my eyes and said that he was sorry but he had to get going, my father would be home in a few minutes. Then he gave me one more quick kiss and left before I could say that it was him that I had feelings for.

I went upstairs, gathered my things. and took a shower before I started my homework. Then I remembered about everything that had happened tonight with Jessica and Lauren. I promised myself that they were going to pay for their actions, oh how they will.

I was finished and was heading downstairs for a quick snack when my dad came home. "Hey dad, would you like me to fix you some food?"

"No thanks Bells, I ate in town and I just want to shower and go to bed."

"'K, night dad."

"Night Bells."

I ate my snack and headed to bed. I finished my homework and went to sleep. Tonight my dream was filled with Edward and only Edward. I was starting to fall for him and I was falling hard. I felt bad because I also really liked Jacob too.

I had to leave Bella because it was time for her father to come home. He was close and had had a really long day and just wanted to go bed. It was a long two hours waiting for Charlie and Bella to get to bed. I wanted and watch till I heard Bella's heart rate slow to a steady beat and made my way through her window.

I loved to watch her sleep, she looks just like the angel that I know she is. I sat down in her old computer chair. I was just watching her and she was talking in her sleep like she had every night this past week that I had snuck in here.

Then she called my name and I froze because I thought I was caught. What would she think? I should tell her everything about me and my family so she would run away and not want to be my friend or anything else with me or my family.

Alice would kill me if I wrecked anything that she and Bella had started. They were really close and I know that Alice loves her almost as much as I do. Wait, did I just admit that I was in love with her?

Oh, she must be dreaming about me, I wish that I could sleep so I could dream about her and myself and the future that we could have if I was human like her. I hated that I was a monster and could never truly give myself to her or ask her to give herself to me.

Edward, what are you doing here? She's too good for you, you've killed people before and she would never forgive that. How could she, I truly am an evil creature by nature. I just wish that I wasn't so selfish and I could leave her alone so she would be safe.

Morning is just about to come and it's sunny outside so I won't get to spend the day with Bella and this saddened me. I'll miss seeing her even if I'll see her tonight. I won't be able to talk to her and that's a great loss. Since the day I had admitted to myself that Bella was important and that I didn't want to live without her in my life, I have never not seen her. Even when we hunted, I have back to be with her, to watch her sleep.

I remember the first time when I had snuck in here, into her room; she had mumbled my name and my cold dead heart melted right then and there. I knew that I had started to have feelings for her before that moment but that made it all the more clearer. I knew where I belonged and it was with Bella by my side.

Bella is stirring and she'll be awake soon so I must leave. I kissed the top of her head and out the window I jumped and ran home.

I woke up and saw that sun, I was happy, it was never sunny here. I got up, got dressed, and made my way downstairs to eat before I headed off to school. I can't wait to see Alice and Edward and my other friends. I also had to make a plan to get back at Jessica and Lauren and I'm sure that it'll be a good one.

"Bye Char-, dad, I'm off to school, I'm going to be home a little late, I have plans to go to the library right after school."

"Okay, see ya Bells."

I ran to my truck only tripping a few times and off to school I went. I was happy today, happier than I have been since I had moved here to Forks. I pulled into the school parking lot and was looking for the silver Volvo but couldn't find one.

My heart sank, then I saw Angela and went to talk to her. She had always been a good friend and I was going to need her help with my revenge plans for Jessica and Lauren.

"Hey Angela, what's up?"

"Not much Bells. What are you looking for? Or should I say who? Bells, they never come to school when the sun is out, they usually go backpacking and camping as a family."

"Dr. Cullen let's them skip school?"

"No silly, they all go, even Mrs. Cullen and Dr. Cullen. Let's head to class so we aren't late Bells."

"Yeah, let's go Angela." I told her then smiled at her and was hoping that the rain would come back today and fast, I missed Edward and Alice.

So I followed Angela to class and spent the rest of the day daydreaming about Edward.

When I got home, Jacob called and asked me if we could spend some time together, I missed him too so I said yes.

"Bells, let's go see a movie, my treat."

"Okay Jake, any movie you want, I'm game. See ya soon."

"By Bells, I lov-, never mind, see ya."
