Okay, I woke up really late this morning, so sorry about not updating really early.
Okay, some of you may have saw this coming and some may have not, but I think that some surprises will come from this chapter and the next.

Chapter 3: Mystery Resolved
My heart seemed to be beating in my ears again. I looked out the window most of the time I was on the plane. I would eat some of the drinks and food that was being offered by women going down aisles but I never payed much attention to them after my 2nd helping of pretzels.
When I got to the airport, I saw my luggage off to the side of the planes exit. I grabbed the bag and worked my way up to the wating area, to find Charlie standing there with his arms open.
I ran into his arms and he hugged me tighty, and kissing the top of my head. I closed my eyes and took in his scent. He was pretty much the only family I had left now. That was a scary feeling.
The house looked just the same as I walked up the porch steps. I opened the door with the same key that had hung on my key chain for all of those years. I walked up the stairs, and seeing various pictures of myself through the years. I smiled as I saw the picture of my mother and I.
Sadness also struck through me as I remembered that she was no longer a Mother to me any longer. I was angry now. But I guess it wasn't Renee's fault. This happened because of the awful divorce between her and Phil...
I thought back on the terrible nights I spent with her. The way her body would squirm in her sleep, as she dreamed uphappy dreams. The thought still haunted me and usually would leave me with sleepless nights. So many bad things had happened so quickly.
I opened the door to my room and stepped inside. The bed was on the left, as usual; and the same pale green color of the walls were surrounding me again.
I hopped onto the bed and fell asleep. The next morning, I woke at 5:50 to get into the shower. The cold water awakend me and I felt renewed, somehow.
I made Charlie and myself some coffee and I went to my truck to start my first day at Forks High School.
I parked in the familiar parking space and I went to get my schedule from the familiar receptionist. I walked to the familiar Biology building and gave my slip to the familiar teacher.
I walked down to the desk that didn't have two people in it and sat down. Right before the bell rang, I saw him. This gorgeous boy ran into the room. His hair was wind-blown and shirt was messy, but he was unbelievably beautiful.
"Sorry that I was almost late, Mr. Banner." He said.
"Thats quite alright, Mr. Cullen. Please sit down by the new student, Miss Swan."
My heart began to race. He was coming this way. He passed my chair. Oh my god, he smelled amazing.
"Hi, I am Edward Cullen." He said lifting his hand as he sat down.
The voice. That was his voice. The voice on Phils' phone. I could have sworn it. Overwhelmed, I replied, "I'm.. I'm uh... Buh...Buh..Bella...Swan?" I said stuttering. Making my greeting seem more as a question.
"Haha, hello. So you are from Arizona? Wow. That's really cool. I was just down there a few days ago. Very quiet but way too sunny for my taste.."
Bingo! I knew it! "Oh, well that's interesting!" I said, still thinking about how Edward had my step-dads cellular...
"Since you are new, Bella, would you like to join my family and I during lunch?"
I thought about it. I could get alot of information from Edward during lunch.. "Yes!" I said.
The bell rang then, "Good, because if you had said no, then I would have dragged you there." He said with a wink. I blushed crimson and laughed.

"Bella, this is Rosalie," Edward said. Rose waved. "This is Emmett and Jasper," they both grinned. "And last but also least, haha, this is Alice."
"Edward Anthony Cullen! I hate you!!" The little one, Alice, said. She was jumping up and down and also coming towards me. I braced myself as she ran into me with a huge hug.
I sat down beside Alice and Edward and we all started a casual conversation about Pheonix.
"Cullen... Did your your father work at one of the hospitals in Pheonix?" I asked Edward.
"Yeah, he did. He told me about your mom. That's how I recongnized your name." He said.
I sat there and I decided to mention Phil's cell phone. "Yeah, but I knew your voice before I actually met you. I am positive that you were the one that answered my step-dads cell phone..."
I bet I sounded insane. Edward turned his body toward mine. "Yes, you are correct. I was the one who had answered. But I was in Pheonix for a reason and I had Phil's phone for a reason as well. It was a very dangerous matter."
My eyes widened. This complete stranger knew something about my family. "What was the reason, Edward? Tell me."

Okay, not a very large cliff but it leaves a little bit of a suspicious ora around the story.
