Flashback
"Ewww! Look everyone! It's Stinky Bella!" Edward said. Rosalie and Emmett laughed. I looked around for Alice and Jasper, but they weren't there.
"Leave her alone!" I heard Alice say from behind. I turned around and saw her and Jasper.
"Yeah! Leave her alone!" Jasper yelled. I heard Rosalie and Edward snicker. They grabbed my books and put it into the trash.
"Ooops!" Rosalie said while laughing. I ran to the trashcan and went to get my books. Rosalie pushed me in. I heard laughter and quick footsteps.
"Bella!" I heard Jasper and Alice say. Alice helped me out of the trashcan and Jasper got my books. I started to cry.
"Bella! Don't cry. Seventh grade is almost over!" Alice said.
"Yeah, 2 more months," I mumbled.
"It's okay Bella," Jasper said. I sat down with Jasper and Alice next to me.
"I wanna move. I wish we could," I said to Alice.
"I know I'm your twin sister, but I think we should stay," Alice said. "I mean, Jasper is family with them, and he can put up with them.
"But he is only actual family with Rosalie. Edward and Emmett are brothers and Carlisle and Esme adopted Rosalie and Jasper," I said wiping away my tears.
"Fine. Since school is over in a few minutes, after school, we will ask mom if we can move from Forks. Okay?" Alice asked. I nodded.
"If you guys are going to move, I will too! I am coming with you guys!" Jasper said.
"Jasper-," Alice and I started.
"No! I am going with you guys! I will ask your mom if I can come and if she says yes, mom and dad will absolutely say yes!" Jasper protested.
"Fine. Okay," Alice said. Alice helped me up and started to pull me somewhere. "We will be right back."
"Okay," Jasper said. Alice pulled me to the bathroom and I stopped crying. Alice washed my face.
"Okay Bella, I am going to put make-up on you," Alice said. I nodded and let her do her magic.
"Alice, do you carry you make-up bag all the time?" I asked,
"Yes, now look at yourself," Alice said. I opened my eyes and saw a person I didn't recognize.
'Thank you Alice! I still think that Edward, Rosalie and Emmett will think I'm fat and ugly," I said.
"No Bella, they won't! Now let's go to our lockers to get our stuff and go home," Alice said pulling me out of the bathroom and to our lockers. I turned my dial for my combination.
12-22-44, I thought. My locker opened and Jasper arrived.
""Here are your books Bella," Jasper said handing me my books.
I grabbed my bag, stuffed my books and all of my stuff in there and said, "Thanks." I zipped my bag and put it on.
"Uh oh," I heard Alice whisper. I turned around and saw Edward coming. Edward came to me and leaned against the lockers.
"Hey there. You're new, right? Well, I'm Edward and wait a second! You're Bella!" Edward said backing away.
"Yes I am! You jerk get away!" I told him.
"I thought you were actually pretty, but that was before I recognized you. Ugh, disgusting," he said. At that moment, Rosalie showed up.
"Trying to be pretty Swan? You should know that you will never be pretty. That goes for you too pipsqueak," Rosalie said with a smirk. The bell rang, signaling that school was over.
"Oh you just crossed the line! You think that you are so cool just because you have boobs and a 'model body!' I bet that you won't be signed by anyone by senior year in high school! I bet that by that time, Bella will be signed with…with…Victoria's Secret!" Alice said, fuming with anger.
"Oh yeah? Well, let's see about that then! I bet you $500 bucks that Stinky Bella won't be signed with Victoria's Secret in senior year! Is she is signed with them, and like that would ever happen, I pay you $500 dollars. I win, you pay me," Rosalie said.
"Deal!" Alice said. They both shook hands. "Let's go." Alice walked away. I quickly shut my locker and followed. Jasper followed too. Jasper and I caught up with Alice and we all walked to mine and Alice's house. I opened the door with my key and we all walked in.
"Mom?" I called.
"In the kitchen!" she yelled. Jasper put his bag down as did Alice and I. We all walked into the kitchen.
"Mom?" I asked. Mom got off the phone and sat down at the dining table. "I want to move."
"Why honey? I thought you liked it here," Mom said while walking to me.
"I used to," I said.
"Why not anymore?" she asked.
"I'll answer that!" Alice said and I nodded. Alice then launched into a story telling mom about Edward, Rosalie and Emmett. Jasper told her some things too.
"Honey, why didn't you tell me before?" Mom asked. She walked to me and gave me a hug. I hugged her back.
As I released my arms, I said, "I didn't want to."
"Okay, well, if you want you to, we will move. Where do you girls want to move?" Mom asked, smoothing my hair and stroking it.
"New York City!" Alice said. I nodded.
"New York City it is," Mom said.
"Renee? I would like to know if you could let me move with you guys," Jasper said.
Mom hesitated, but said, "If it's okay with your parents."
"Yes!" Alice and I said.
"Thank you so much!" Jasper said.
"Okay well, let's go to your house and discuss this with Carlisle and Esme," Mom said. We all nodded. Mom grabbed her keys and Jasper got his bag. Mom started her car and we all got in. She drove to the Cullen house. We all got out and Mom rang the doorbell. Esme answered the door.
"Hi Renee. Hi Alice, Jasper, Bella," Esme said.
"Hi. Is Carlisle home?" Mom asked.
"Yes, he is in his study," Esme said.
"That's great. We would like to speak with you both. Just Alice, Bella, Jasper, Carlisle, you and myself," Mom said.
"Sure! Come on in!" Esme said. We stepped inside and Esme led us upstairs.
"What is she doing here?" I heard Rosalie say.
"Rosalie Lillian Hale Cullen! Be nice!" Esme scolded.
"Yes mother," Rosalie said. Esme led us to a room where Carlisle was in.
"Hello everyone," Carlisle said.
"Hi Carlisle. I have something to say. It's about all your children, but right now, it will just be about Edward, Rosalie and Emmett. Alice, please tell them what you told me," Mom said.
"First, please take a seat," Carlisle said. The adults sat in chairs as the children sat on the ground.
"Okay, here it goes," Alice said. She told Carlisle and Esme everything, except for the Jasper thing. Jasper told them some things too. After a while, Alice and Jasper were both done.
"Wow, I never knew this. Is it okay of I call them to here?" Esme asked.
"Yes, I think that they would need to know this next thing, "I said. Esme walked to the door and opened it.
"Rosalie!! Emmett!! Edward!! Come to your father's study this instant!!!" Esme yelled, clearly angry. Carlisle got up and ran to the door.
"NOW!!!" Carlisle yelled, also clearly angry. They ran into the room. All three of them glared at me. "We are very disappointed with you. Don't you guys give her glares! The three of you are grounded until further notice!"
"Now, Bella, what was it you wanted to tell us?" Esme asked, giving me a genuine smile.
"Well, I think it would be best if Jasper told you guys," I said.
"Mom, dad. I love you two very much, but I would like to move with the Swan family to New York," Jasper said.
"What? You can't! You're my only real brother! And New York City? Alice is going to win the bet!" Rosalie yelled.
"You will tell me about the bet later," Mom whispered to Alice.
"Okay mom," Alice said.
"Jasper honey, is this what you want?" Esme asked. Jasper nodded. Esme looked at Carlisle.
"Okay, son, you can go. We have boxes on the garage. Bella, Alice, can you help him? Esme, talk with Renee about what to do about everything. I am going to speak with Rosalie, Edward and Emmett," Carlisle said. I nodded and grabbed Jasper and Alice. We ran out of the study.
"Okay, you two, go into my room. It's down that hallway. You'll know which one it is. I am going to go get boxes," Jasper said running downstairs.
"Come on!" Alice said. She pulled me down a hallway and there were signs on the doors. We saw a sign with Jasper's name and opened the door. The room was mostly bare. Jasper came into the room with boxes.
"Why is your room so bare?" I asked him.
"I just knew that one day, I would move," he said. "All I have is books and trophies and medals out. Most of my stuff is in boxes in that corner.
"I'm sorry!" I heard Rosalie yell in a fake sincere voice. "I can't let Jasper leave!"
"Fake," I said. Alice nodded. Alice and I sat on the ground and watched Jasper pack. He grabbed a luggage from downstairs and I fell asleep on the ground. I think Alice fell asleep too because I heard her snoring. At a point, I heard whispering.
"Let me say sorry!" I heard Edward's voice whisper.
"No!" Jasper whispered.
"Please?"
"Urgh… Fine!"
I heard footsteps and felt two cool lips on my forehead and Edward's voice whisper, "I teased you because I love you. I teased you to be cool and popular. I will love you forever and always Bella." I heard footsteps and a door close. After a long time, I got up and rubbed my eyes. [A/N: Shocking, isn't it? ^^^^ Ahaha, onward with your reading!]
Did he really mean that?, I thought. My hands flew up to my hair instinctively to make sure that it wasn't a haystack.
"Thank god my hair isn't a haystack," I whispered. I stood up and looked around the bare room. I saw Alice sleeping and decided to leave the room. I opened the door and closed it quietly. I walked down the hall and met Carlisle along the way.
"Where's my mom?" I asked him.
"She's with Jasper and Esme, figuring out the whole guardian thing," he replied.
"Okay," I said and walked downstairs.
"Bella!" I heard Rosalie yell. I ran upstairs to Rosalie's room. Rosalie was waiting.
"Yes?" I asked confidently.
"I'm so sorry…not," Rosalie said. "Yeah, whatever Stinky Bella."
"Whatever. Just know that in New York City, I'll be able to get signed," I said. I took one actual look at Rosalie and saw that her eyes were red and puffy.
"I can't believe you are taking my twin brother away from me. This isn't over," Rosalie sneered.
"For once, I agree," I hissed.
"Good luck, you'll need it," Rosalie said with a laugh and a smirk on her face. I scoffed and glared at her and went outside of her room, slamming the door. Jasper's door opened and Alice emerged from the room.
"Was that you?" Alice asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"What happened?" Alice asked. I told Alice what Rosalie told me and what I told her.
"Oh and there's something else. Let me whisper it," I said. I leaned to her ear and whispered what I heard Jasper and Edward say and what Edward whispered to me.
"What?!" Alice said.
"Shhh!!!" I said.
"Really?" Alice asked.
"Yup!" I said. We heard the door open and close.
"We're home," Esme said. Alice and I ran downstairs.
"Mom!" Alice and I said.
"Hi! I am now Jasper's legal guardian, but not his parent. Carlisle and Esme are his parents still," Mom said. [A/N: Okay, so, I don't know if that is possible, but play along with me. I made it up as I wrote this chapter.]
"Cool! Awesome!" Alice said. I nodded.
"Hi Alice. Hi Bella," Jasper said with a smile.
"So awesome," I said with a smile. Alice nodded.
"Renee? Bella, Alice, Jasper? Carlisle and I were wondering if you all would like to stay for dinner." Esme asked. "For Jasper. Since it will be his last dinner here." Esme's eyes started to water.
"Mom, I'll be back in senior year," Jasper said.
"We will?" Alice asked.
"Yes. Jasper said that he wanted to be back in senior year, so I decided that we would move back in the middle of senior year," Mom said.
"Great!" Alice and I yelled in unison.
"Okay well, Esme, we will stay for dinner. I will help you with dinner," Mom said.
"Renee, it's okay. You are the guest. I will cook," Esme said, shaking her head 'no.'
"No! I will help. Bella, Alice and Jasper, please go on upstairs," Mom said. Alice grabbed me and Jasper and took us upstairs.
"Alice, can I talk to you alone?" I asked as we got upstairs.
"Sure. Jasper, stay right here," Alice said Jasper nodded and Alice and I went inside the bathroom.
Alice closed the door and said, "You like Edward!"
"Shhh!!! I think I do… now. He has bronze messy hair, irresistible green eyes, sparkling pale skin…" I whispered trailing off.
"Awww! Bella! I have an idea!" Alice whispered excitingly. "Okay Bella. You are going to tell Edward that you like him today. Then you guys kiss and you'll realize that you like him. You guys tell each other that you love each other. Edward will say forever and always and you guys walk into the house hand-in-hand because it will take place outside. Then, he'll ask you to stay and you say no. When we come back in senior year, it will all be a surprise. Okay?"
"Okay. How will you know if this will work? And, what do I do in senior year, won't the hate me?"
"I have a feeling," Alice said. Then, she leaned over and whispered what to do in senior year.
"Yeah, okay. I'll do-."
Alice interrupted and said, "Yeah!" I grabbed her and went out of the bathroom. Jasper was waiting.
"Dinner will be ready in 15 minutes, according to my mom," Jasper said. He smiles at Alice and Alice smiled back.
They both like each other, they are just afraid to admit it to anyone, I thought.
I leaned to Alice and whispered, "I don't think I love him though."
"It's okay, just do it," Alice whispered.
I nodded and whispered, "Get him outside."
"I'm going to have Bella get some fresh air," Alice said pushing me to the stairs.
"Do you need-," Jasper started.
"Alone," Alice interrupted.
"Are you sure?" Jasper asked.
I nodded and said "Alone, I'm sure." I started to walk down the stairs. Suddenly, I tripped over me own feet on the last step. I waited for my contact with the floor, but it didn't happen. Instead, I met arms. The arms helped me get up. I looked up and met two irresistible green eyes.
"Are you okay?" Edward asked.
"Yes," I said. "I'm going to go in the backyard for some fresh air."
"Can I come with you?" Edward asked. I nodded. He took my hand and led us to the backyard. He led us to a hammock chair-type-thing and we both sat down. [A/N: I have no idea what those things are called! I'm sorry for the inconvenience.]
It was silent for a few moments until I asked, "Did you really mean it?"
"What do you mean?" Edward asked innocently.
I rolled my eyes and mumbled, "You know what I mean."
Edward sighed and said, "Okay." Edward turned to look at me face-to-face. He took my hands and looked at me deep into my eyes. "Bella, I truly do love you. I know that you may think that it isn't true, but I know that what I'm feeling is love. I will love you forever and always."
"Wow Edward. I think that I like you too. But, I need to know why you teased and bullied me. Why?!" I said. "How can you love even if you bullied and teased me? Don't even say that you loved me or that you just wanted to be cool and popular!"
"Bella, just listen now, okay? I teased you because of Rosalie. Rosalie knew that I like you and told me that if I didn't tease you she would tear me to pieces because I shouldn't like you. Bella, I love you! I LOVE YOU!!!" Edward said.
"Wow. I-," I started to say, but I was cut off by Edward's lips. I was shocked, but responded, we pulled away from each other after a while.
"Wow…," Edward and I said at the same time. I giggled as he laughed.
"Bella, will you please stay?" Edward asked with pleading eyes.
"Edward, I can't. I wish I could. I really do, "I said sadly.
"But you can!" Edward said.
"Edward, everything is already ready. Jasper is coming with us and my mom and your mom went through a whole lot of paperwork for this. All I need to do is pack and get on the plane," I said.
"Please Bella. Stay for me. I love you," Edward said.
"I… I love you too," I said. I threw my arms around him and hugged him tight. He hugged me back.
"I… I think we should go back inside for dinner," Edward said. He took my hand and stood up as I did. We went inside. Esme and mom walked by us. There were about to pass us when they stopped. They turned their heads to us. Their eyes both looked at us from head-to-toe, but stopped at our hands. Both moms' eyes widened. They looked at each and nodded.
"Dinner will be ready soon," Esme said. Esme started to walk away, but my mom stayed. Esme came back and pulled mom away with her.
"Let's sit down," Edward suggested. He looked at me and I nodded in approval. I pulled him to the living room and Edward pulled me to the loveseat.
"Bella, I don't know what to do without you being here, Bella, I love you so much, you know that, right?" Edward asked.
"I know that, as you know that I love you, "I said with a smile.
"I am going to make a promise to you. I promise that I will not date any girl until you come back and when you come back, I will date you and you only. I will be waiting for the day when you come back. I promise to love you forever and always," Edward said. He kissed me on the cheek and I blushed.
"I promise that I won't date any guy until I come back and when I come back, I will date you and you only. I will wait for the day I come back and I promise to love you forever and always," I said. He smiled and I did too. I heard a muffled squeal, but I ignored it. I leaned towards him as he leaned towards me. There was only a centimeter of space between us. We closed that gap and kissed. This time, I tilted my head and Edward licked my bottom lip. I closed my eyes.
OMG! Deploy tongue! Deploy tongue! Wait, remember how Alice told you how to kiss! NOW, I thought.
I allowed Edward entrance and we played with each other's tongue. I heard a squeal and footsteps going upstairs. After a while, we pulled away from each other, panting.
"Wow… That…was," I started to say, trailing off.
"Mind blowing," Edward whispered. Edward, then smiled a crooked smile I never noticed.
"Kids! Dinner!" Mom yelled. Edward and I walked to the dinner table.
"Let's eat!" Esme said as everyone arrived. [A/N: I know that I haven't mentioned Charlie yet, but here you go! I hope that it makes sense.] "Renee, where's Charlie? I thought you called him."
"Oh! I did, but he can't come. He is going to be at work late," Mom said.
"OMG! I totally forgot about dad!" Alice exclaimed.
"Me too," I said.
"Don't worry about him. Just eat," Mom said. I nodded and took a seat next to Edward.
Dinner mostly consisted of glaring daggers at Rosalie with Alice, Mom and Esme talking about decorating the new house to buy, eating and occasionally, stealing glances at Edward. Soon enough, it was 8pm and Mom, Alice and I had to go home to pack. Jasper was going to come and stay at our house until we would go to New York. Everyone, including Rosalie and Emmett, was downstairs to tell us good-bye.
Edward came to me and said, "Good-bye Bella." His eyes started to water and mine started too.
"Bye Edward," I said. I kissed him on the cheek, but not before looking to see if anyone was looking. Esme and Carlisle came towards me and hugged me good-bye. Suddenly, Emmett came to me. He shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Bye Bella… I'm sorry for teasing you. I really didn't want to," Emmett said.
"It's okay. I know you did it because you like Rosalie," I whispered. I gave him a hug.
He hugged me back and whispered," How do you know that?" I pulled away from him and tapped my head. He nodded and pulled away as Rosalie started to come by.
"Bye Bella," Rosalie sneered.
"Whatever. Bye," I said. I walked towards my mom.
"Let's go," I suggested. We, meaning Mom, Alice, Jasper and I, walked to the car and started to get in.
"Bye!" everyone said.
"Bye!" I said. Mom sat in the driver's seat, while the three kids were in the back.
"Bella, Edward wanted me to give this to you," Jasper said handing me an envelope.
"Oooohhh! Edward," Mom and Alice said. I rolled my eyes and opened the envelope. Inside, there was a picture of him and a note. It said:
Dearest Bella,
Here is my email: . I hope that you can email me. Here is my cell phone number: (555)555-7844. Call me whenever and text me whenever. Please keep in contact with me. I love you, forever and always, never fprget that. Never Forget Me!
Love,
Edward Cullen
"Wow," I said. I looked at the picture. It was him in a soccer uniform, holding a soccer ball.
Good-bye Edward. I love you and will forever and always. Wow. After tonight, everything is going to be so different, I thought.
"Everything is going to be so different after tonight," I whispered.
Okay! Love it? Like it? Hate it? Dislike it? This chapter was just a filler, to fill you in! It's going to forward about 5 years into the future on the next chapter. By the way, all the 'kids' are sevies, meaning that they are all the same age! Anyways, I will try to update soon! Read my other stories too, if you like.(:
Much Love,
Mackie(:
