A/N: Hey guys so sorry I took so long! Thank you to everyone who reviewed! It means a lot. So, anyway, on with the story…
Edward Version
I drove home that night so silent; people started to get tired with me and stopped talking to me. Jacqueline must of thought I'd slip something in my drink, because once she told me, I never spoke again.
Flash back
"Well, the bloodsuckers aren't allowed around here. You know them as vampires!"
'Bella's a vampire!?!?!?!' I thought to myself. 'How could she be a vampire? Will she suck my blood? Is she going to eat me? Oh so that's why she had that hungry look on her face? Why hasn't she eaten anyone yet?
"Yeah so," she went on, interrupting my thought, "They are apparently good vampires, so they are allowed around and don't drink the humans blood, but my ancestors didn't trust them so my they and the blood suckers set up a treaty banning the blood suckers off our land."
"So, Bella's, I mean, the Cullen's ancestors used to live in Forks?" I said not really asking it to Jacqueline, but to myself.
"No, those Cullens are the same Cullens! They, apparently, had to move about 50 years ago so, the suspicious people would not question their age, and now they've moved back"
"You mean they don't get older!?" I asked so curious; I could hardly keep myself in tact.
"Yes, they never ever grow up. Us Quileutes are the natural known enemy of the vampire, we are the werewolf," she said.
After that, I just stopped talking, all I could think about was Bella, how could I be in love with a vampire.
Wait, I had to stop myself there, how do I even though this is true. I mean seriously, a vampire!!
But then again I did see her punch a wall! And I did see her go so fast that she was a blur. Can vampires do that?
These questions kept floating through my head, until, before I knew it, I was home.
"How was La Push," Charlie said as I walked through the door.
"Fine," I spoke, surprised to find my voice a hoarse whisper, probably because I haven't spoken for hours.
"Well, that's great," he said not wanting to ask more, he obviously assumed I was going through one of those weird stages, you know, falling in love and crap.
I was so tired by the time I got up stairs, that I don't even remember going to bed. Once again, I had a dream about (you guessed it) Bella!
Bella's Version
'Looks like things are turning out alright' I thought to myself walking into school Monday morning. They were, I was having a normal life with normal friends, or should I say Edward.
I walked into the cafeteria, later that day, and started to approach Edward. Everything seemed fine, but I saw Edward's face and thought there was something different about it. It didn't seem usual. It seemed strange, like he was looking at me for the first time, like he…
Oh no! What if he knew he wasn't dreaming that day, the day he saw me show my natural strength and speed? What if he knew I was something else, something not like him? I began to panic, what if he told everyone?
"Hi" he greeted me, just as friendly as usual. Now that I really look at his face, it isn't scared; it is full of something else, is it understanding?
"So," I said, "How was La Push?"
"Good," he replied, "Met new people, bon fires the usual, you know… wait you wouldn't know"
This made me stop and stare at him. How did he know I wasn't allowed step into La Push. I've never told him before.
"What do you mean?" I asked pretending to be baffled.
He seemed to realize that I had never told him and covered it up by saying, "Oh well you know, you just moved here and you wouldn't have been to La Push before." So he did know there was a treaty, I could tell.
What else does he know? Does he know about me being a vampire, my erg to kill him, how I never grow old? No he couldn't, if he did he wouldn't be talking to me now.
Later, after school, he walked me to my car, but had no intentions of trying to kiss me this time. We talked for a while, until, before we knew it, everyone had left. It seemed Edward had been hoping for this. What was going on? Why did he want me alone?
Edward Version
I had been waiting to be alone with Bella all day. I didn't know how I was going to say it but I sort of just spoke in the moment.
"I know what you are," I quickly spoke the words. I'm surprised she could hear what I was saying. She just stood there with an expressionless mask. It was as if she just switched off, like there was nothing going on in her head.
After a while of silence, she finally spoke. "What do you mean?"
"I mean I know you're a vampire," I said, " And don't worry, I don't care."
"What do you mean you don't care?" She spat back, "You don't care that I'm a monster!?!?!"
"No," I replied, "I sorta, well, like you." Where did that come from? Oh no! She'll probably never speak to me again.
We both stood there and stared at each other for a while until she did something I really didn't expect.
