Chapter One

BPOV

It started out as a normal enough day. I woke up to it raining, went to school in my "brothers" car in the rain, drove to work in the rain; and that's where it got weird. First, the sun came out. Then I got a raise from 8.50 to nine dollars, and finally I met a guy. Some of you may be saying 'why is that so weird' but I had sworn off guys, my luck with any males was just terrible. Also he was... Different.

The people of Forks are not the most sun-kissed and he was perfectly tan, and his russet skin contrasted wonderfully with his bright, white teeth. He was about six feet tall, and ripped but not in the obnoxiously large way. He was beautiful and came in with four other equally beautiful guys. His black hair and dark eyes were just the shiny bow on the big package. They sat towards the front, with the eyes of every female on them, and looked towards the stage. Cherry-Bomb was on stage now and she was pretty, gorgeous even. All long legs and blond hair, her real name was Kim, and one of the beautiful men was quite taken with her. After she got off and I told her my observation, I went on stage to do my thing, my eyes on the dark stranger the whole time.

Their conversation floated to my ears.

"Hey, Jared! That blondie was quite the looker huh?" Said the dark haired one, to the one who liked Kim.

"Shut the fuck up Paul! Like we don't see the way you'r staring at doe eyes up there." "Boys! Calm the fuck down!" the biggest one said.

"Sorry Sam." Jared and Paul said at the same time.

The one that had brown hair and deep blue eyes couldn't keep his laughter in; and Sam, Jared, and Paul turned and said: "Shut up Jake!" After I had danced I made my way to the bar where Emmett was working.

"Em!"

"Hey baby girl! What can I do for you?"

"The usual please." He passed me my diet coke over the bar.

"That guy over there is staring at you."I turned around and saw that Paul was watching my exchange with Emmett, and didn't look very happy.

"Ahh. That's my next stop, see if he wants a private dance."

"Just be careful. I'd hate to have to explain to your sister what happened."

Oh yes. How could I forget? Emmett and Rosalie, my adoptive sister, have been together for three years, and Emmett was more protective of me than Edward, my actual adoptive brother. Rosalie was the person who understood me the most, and even knew where I worked. When Rose was fifteen she was in a relationship with this guy Royce King and he raped her and left her for dead. If Carlisle, our adoptive dad, hadn't found her... I don't even want to think about it. I made my way to Paul, hips shaking to the music. All the other boys excused themselves and made their way to the bar.

"Hey handsome." I greeted him. When he looked up and saw me he grinned

"Hey yourself." He gave me a panty dropping smile.

"I saw you sitting here by yourself and was wondering if you could use some company."

"From a beautiful thing like you, I would be honored."

I sat down next to him, sipping my diet coke, and he was warm. And big! I could see him through his pants and god! How could that fit anywhere? I looked up from his pants and saw him glaring at Emmett, who was staring at us questioningly.

"Whose you friend?" He ground out through his clenched teeth.

"Emmett?" Like I didn't know who he was talking about. "He's just the bartender." He looked madder.

"Seems awfully protective of you to be 'just the bartender' "

"Well that could be because he's marrying my older sister."

"Oh. Makes sense. " He went back to grinning, causing me to smile back.

What was wrong with me? I've never been this relaxed with a guy since 'it' happened. It took me forever to warm up to Carlisle, Edward, Jasper and Emmett. The only men in my life. That's what I liked about doing this job. It allowed me to be near guys without being near them. I never did private, that was the rule I laid down when I started working here, and Maureen accepted. So why was I okay with being alone with Paul?

"-for you?"

"Huh? What?" I had completely blanket out. "I'm sorry what did you say?"

He chuckled. "I said, what can I do for you?"

I blushed. "Oh. Umm. Well I was wondering if... Actually never mind."

I stood up and could feel the anxiety creeping up. Oh god! Calm down Bella, calm. I felt Paul put a hand on my shoulder, asking if I was ok, but all I could do was think about the night my father did what he did and I flipped out. I started having a panic attack and couldn't remember if I took my meds this morning so I started panicking more. I heard Emmett before I saw him. I heard him tell Paul to stay the fuck away from me, then he picked me up and brought me to Maureens office, before everything went black.
