Chapter 2 – Trouble

Authors Note : Okay So I've finally thought this story out and figured what I wanted to do with it. Sorry for the long wait! I will try to update quickly but no guarantees because my schedule is very busy and I don't like rushed writing. Hope you guys like it and understand. Merry Christmas everybody!

.:.: Edward's POV.:.:

I woke up groggily to find Bella nowhere to be found. I got up and looked around. No , 5 foot 4 brunette here. Crap , I must have missed her entire visit.

" Your awake! Come downstairs we are having cookies and milk." My sister Alice screamed. Honestly maybe I should get her new headphones for Christmas. I think she can't hear herself sometimes.

I trudged down the stairs , not bothering with a shirt. It's not like anybody special would be here anyways. Bella left and nobody visited me usually so why bother? I was wrong.

" Edward! Guess who's here!" Bella came running up to me , excitement clear on her face.

" Who ?" Honestly I was happy she was here , but who could get her so excited?

" Edward , hows it going?" Sneered my step cousin , Jacob Black. I hated him , he always made fun of me and the worst part was I knew he liked Bella. Also Bella thought he was " cute" and told me to introduce them last time he was here. I was in the hospital for a week after that so luckily they didn't spend a lot of time together.

" Pretty good." I casually threw an arm around Bella. Jacob's expression changed and then he brushed past me.

" Watch it Cullen , your a little too close to my future girlfriend."

.:.:. Bella's POV .:.:

I had left a sleeping Edward in his bed. He was adorable when he slept but I couldn't torture myself any longer. Getting my homework out I started on it. Suddenly my vision went black.

" Guess who." The voice was slightly husky and although I still preferred Edward's velvet tones , this voice was undeniably sexy.

" Jake!!! I thought you weren't coming back for Christmas this year!" I hadn't seen Jacob Black since last summer. I had gotten Edward to introduce us because he was the cutest guy back then , other then Edward of course.

. Summer.:.:

" Want to dance , Bella?" Mike Newton was bothering me again. This was probably the fifth time he asked me.

" No , Mike I'm not much of a dancer." Same rejection , now just wait for another ten minutes. I heard Edward chuckling next to me.

" What is so funny , Mister Cullen?" I narrowed my eyes , how dare he make fun of my misery! He widened his in to an innocent look. I wasn't falling for it .... this time.

" Awww Bella don't be mad! Face it , Mike Newton reminds me of this adorable golden retrievers who won't stop following you around , until you just start losing your cool. Mind you , thats not a good representation because I love dogs." I couldn't help myself , I started laughing. This was why Edward was my best friends and the guy I was secretly in love with. He was just so perfect! Yet I know he'll never look at me that way so I just keep my mouth shut.

I turned and then saw a boy around my age looking bored at the refreshments table. He was really tall and had long black hair. Dressed in a tight black t shirt and jeans I could tell he was in good shape.

" Edward who's that guy standing by the food?" I saw Edward's eyes flicker towards the table then narrow in to a glare.

" Thats Jacob Black , he's my step cousin. Apparently he did not think this was cool enough to attend but his dad forced him to." Okay , Edward wasn't a big fan of this guy but I wanted to get to know him more.

" Introduce us! Edward your an awful host." I teasingly poked him. Edward's mouth turned in to a frown.

" Bella , I don't think he's really your type. You would be better off with a sweet charming guy. With old fashioned manners and maybe some history with you." Edward was babbling on and on about some made up guy. Honestly if I had the guy he just described in front of me , I would already be in love with him!

" Can I have a dance with the beautiful lady." I turned only to be met with a pair of twinkling brown eyes. He was even better looking close up.

" Okay." I walked off with him but before I went I had one look at Edward. He was as white as a piece of paper and he looked pained. I think he wasn't feeling very well suddenly.

" I'm sorry , but my friend Edward doesn't seem to be feeling very well. Maybe next time."

" I'm sure he's fine. Maybe he just needs some air." I looked over but I couldn't see Edward. Where did he go?

" Sorry , I really should go check on him." I was getting worried. Why did Edward suddenly leave?

" Okay , before you go could I have you phone number?" If I wasn't so worried , I would be ecstatic

this cute guy was asking for my phone number!

" Sure , it's 333 – 8679." I left him with a smile and ran up the stairs. I guessed if Edward wasn't feeling very good he would run up to his room.

I knocked , when I got no answer I slowly opened the door.

He was passed out on the floor.

I didn't get to hang with Jacob much but we did go out a few times. After Edward got out of the hospital , we all hung together. Yet I had suspicions that Edward did not really like Jacob.

Current .:.:

" Bella , I came just to see your pretty face." God , I was swooning by now. He was very charming.

" Gee Jake , I'm a easy blusher you don't have to do that to me." He grinned an easy smile.

" Also , I'm moving to Forks. I'm going to Edward's school." My eyes widened in surprise.

" Gosh , thats so great! We can hang out all the time then!" I squealed happily. Jake was a really cool guy to hang out with. Funny and charming , was his middle name.

" Yup , I wonder is Edward still a nerd at school?" I glared at him. I didn't care who he was he wasn't allowed to diss my best friend.

" Sorry , I'm just wondering" He winked and I found myself softening up. He did have beautiful eyes.
