Flashback - His Story

Oh my god! Did he just said yes.

"Ok, let's walk" This is the only thing I could come up with.

"Sure." He simply replied.

"Your parents are really nice." I said, trying to make a small talk. He stopped in his track, studied me intently. "What?" I asked without thinking.

"It's nothing, can I tell you something." He sounded unsure of himself.

"Sure, you can." I replied in a soft voice. He seemed to think over a second and then started to speak.

"Esme and Carlisle are not our real parents." He started slowly, then stopped to let it sink inside me. That's when I noticed that he said 'our'. What does that mean? I opened my mouth to ask but he shook his head and answered my unspoken question and started walking ahead slowly. "By 'our' I mean mine and Jane's. Jane is my real, blood sister. When she was about 5 years old our real parents died in a car accident. At that time I was 6. It was the hardest time for us both. When the news of their death came hell broke loose, Jane had the most horrified expression I had ever seen. Being the younger one, she was more attached to them then I was. She was a really lovely, lively child, but broke and lost her charm after their sudden death. It was like she locked all her emotions in a locker and then forgot key. I have never seen her happy or smiling after their death." He stopped, trying to figure out how to go further. "When Carlisle and Esme took out custody, Jane was not happy but she never spoke a word. Slowly she found our real mother in Esme and started liking her, but sadly this did not change her condition. She respects them, but never gets too close to them. Afraid, that what will happen when they leave us too." He said, his gaze locked on the path ahead of us.

"I am so sorry." I spoke as I hung my head.

"No its ok, I mean its not your fault. And I am sorry for saying all this, it's just, um well...its just when I saw you I felt like saying every word about me, my life to you."

"It's ok. you can say anything to me. I don't mind, I actually felt nice that you trusted me so much to tell about this." I replied sincerely, at which he smiled.

"So tell me something about yourself?" He asked, trying to close the subject. I started to tell him about our band, it turned out that he could play piano and drums. When he asked me about what I played I blushed but told him that I play guitar and am the lead singer too, at which he invited me and our band to play at his house, I agreed. Then I told him about Alice and Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper.

"So Alice and Rosalie are you best friends?" He suddenly asked.

"Yeah, they are." I answered in a calm tone, surprised with myself.

"Who are Emmett and Jasper?" He asked intently.

"Emmett is Alice's elder brother and Jasper is Rosalie's twin." I simply replied.

"Alice is with Jasper and Rosalie with Emmett. Right?" I froze in my track and looked at him in disbelief.

"H. did you know that?" I stammered in a shocked tone.

"I guessed" He said with a smirk. I blushed deeper crimson. I wasn't paying much attention at the path so as I started to walk ahead, my toe caught in the stone and I fell. Only with me. But before I could hit the ground I felt a pair of strong arms around my waist. I looked up only to see a pair of Emerald Green eyes staring at me. Oh my! I was so busy see his face that I did not notice his smoldering eyes. His mouth was just inches from mine, how much I wanted to cross this distance and kiss him, but I restrained myself. He slowly lifted me up. Set me on ground but did not take his hands back, when I peeked on his face I saw him staring at me, concerned. "Are you alright?" He asked, his hands still on my waist. My heartbeat sped.

"Yes. It's just, I am really clumsy, that's all." I stammered again. He looked at me for a minute and then let go. "Thankyou." I said, not wanting to be rude.

"It's ok, did you get hurt?" He again asked in a concerned voice. I nodded, unable to find my voice. "Let's go back, it's getting late." He said as we started to walk back, the rest of the way we did not talk, but this silence was not uncomfortable just understanding. When we reached home I saw Carlisle and Esme getting up, about to leave.

"Did you have a nice walk?" Esme asked in a kind, motherly voice.

"Yes mom, we did." Edward replied, looking at me.

"Ok, then. Now it's time to leave. Thankyou for the delicious dinner" Carlisle replied.

"Oh. It's alright. It is our pleasure to have such wonderful neighbors." I never mom speak like this, but well there's always a first time.

"Goodbye, Bella. See you at school." Edward said before leaving. I nodded, again unable to find my voice.

That night I was getting crazy. The moment the Cullen's went I ran to my room - I must say without tripping not even once - and called Haley, Alice and Rose and we conferenced for about an hour until mom came up and told me to hang up so she could talk to her friend. They seemed just as excited as I was (Alice must've tipped Haley on this matter since she picked on the first ring itself). After the call I just lied on my bed and looked above at the sealing deep in thoughts. Before the sleep could lull me I came to a conclusion.

I am falling for Edward Cullen.


To Raining tears, it was Bella's 16th birthday in the first chapter. She was 10 when she moved to Forks, and was 14 when she moved to her grandmother's house. When Bella was 15 the Cullen's moved into their neighborhood, so in this chapter she is 15.

To Dravvin Rayne, I don't have Jacob in this story, at least not until now. It's Jake who is Bella's brother and not Jacob.
