Ok this is the third chapter it should be a lot longer than the second. Plus the song below I think represents how Bella and Edward are realizing that they do need to talk to people. And that they can't just rely on themselves. Hope you enjoy!!!!!

My Heart-Paramore

I am finding out that maybe I was wrong that I've fallen down and I can't do this alone Stay with me, this is what I need, please? Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you we could sing our own but what would it be without you? I am nothing now and it's been so long since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope this time I will be listening.

I woke up to a knock on my bedroom door.

"Bella, breakfast will be ready in ten minutes." Jasper said from the other side of the door.

"Ok…um…I'll be down in a couple of minutes." I replied groggily. I heard his foot steps fade away so I pushed my self out of the bed. I grabbed my bag with my toiletries in it and walked over to the bathroom door. No one answered when I knocked so I just walked in.

I looked up at my reflection in the mirror and noticed my hair was a mess, my red and puffy eyes had dark black circles under them, and my face was stained with dried tears.

I turned the faucet on, filled my cupped hands with warm water, and splashed my face. I pulled my hair up into a loose bun with strands of random hair framing my face. I grabbed my cover up out of the bag and opened it. Great, just what I need. It was empty except for a few crumbs. So I brushed my teeth and walked out of the bathroom with my dark circles from lack of much needed sleep, uncovered.

I left my short soffe shorts on and pulled a large maroon sweater with ASU in large letters on the front. That was the college I wanted to go to, but somehow I don't see that happening anymore.

I walked down the flights of stairs and heard people talking in the dining room. I pushed the door open and the room went dead silent as everyone noticed I was there.

Rose and Jasper hugged me and wished me a "good" morning. Then who had to have been Mr. and Mrs. Cullen approached me.

"Hi sweetheart! I'm Esme and this Carlisle. I hope you made your self comfortable. This is your home now to so don't be afraid to use or do anything that you would at your…old home." Esme said to me in a motherly voice.

"Thank you…..um…Esme, Carlisle." I stuttered.

There was an awkward silence for a couple of seconds and I noticed that there were three other people in the room.

The small pixie like one came up and pulled me into an embrace almost knocking me down in the process.

"Hi, my name is Alice! We are going to be great friends!" She was full of energy. I didn't say anything I just forced my self to smile.

Then the Big burly headed one came up to me and pulled me into an embrace, and I could tell he was just like Alice.

"HI! I'm Emmett!" He nearly shouted. Again I forced myself to pull a smile.

Moving on to the next person. I almost fell over when I noticed it was the guy from last night at the beach! I looked up and noticed he was staring at me, with a strange expression on his face. His eyes were boring into mine and I could tell that they were a striking shade of green.

They held a soft gentle expression, but if you looked closely enough you could tell he was troubled. He stepped forward not breaking the strong gaze our eyes held.

"Hi…..I'm Edward." His. Voice was quiet and angelic. I looked down and noticed he was waiting for me to shake his hand. I stretched mine out to meet his. As soon as our palms touched I felt a shock that traveled up my arm like a spreading fire.

He must have noticed it to because he looked down at our hands then back up at my face over and over. We pulled away when I heard some one clear their throat.

"Well, let's not let the food get cold." Carlisle.

Breakfast was interesting, to say the least. There was a lot of small talk that I hadn't heard. I also noticed a lot of pity looks thrown my way. But mostly it was just awkward.

Edward hadn't looked up from his plate at all, and he had not said anything except the occasional asking someone to pass something to him.

I kept my head down most of the meal too. Then when we were through I tried to help but Esme wouldn't let me. So I pulled Rose aside.

" Um…Rose? Would you mind taking me to the mall? I…um have some money saved up….and the money that….um…she…had stashed. And I really need to get some things." I let out along with my shaky breaths.

"Of course. I actually have to get some clothes. I also have to go to Wal-Mart to get some groceries and other things. I was going to take Alice too. Would you mind? If you don't feel comfortable with her we can just go later. It's up to you…." She trailed off.

"Um…No I don't mind….she seems really….fun….energetic….but fun."

"Do you think she'll mind going to the mall."

"oh. Defiantly not. She loves to shop!"

Rose went off to find Alice while I changed my shorts and grabbed my messenger bag. I met them down stairs when I was done.

"Yay! Lets go shopping" Alice yelled running out the door and jumping into a yellow Porsche.

I just looked at Rose and mumbled a laugh as we followed the pixie outside.

When we got to the mall we walked towards Dillard's. I had to get pants, shirts, pajamas, and a swimsuit.

"What size are you in pants Bella? Maybe I can help you, while Rose gets her clothes?" Actually could you that would be great.

We walked over to the jeans and I was looking through the racks when she spoke.

"So what do you think of my brothers?" she asked nonchalantly.

"Um….Emmett is intimidating, but he…um…seems like a big teddy bear…..Edward seems…..sort of…um…I don't know….pained?" I struggled for words.

"Ya….even though Emmett seems intimidating he is more of the big brother type. Then….there's Edward…he is not really my brother…even though it feels like he is….he was adopted, when his parents passed away….but that's not my story to tell."

The rest of the time at the mall was filled with light conversation. I found myself actually having fun for the first time in a long time. I still couldn't stop thinking about Edward though.

We got home from Wal-Mart and the mall at about six thirty that night. I ended up with multiple outfits, new pajamas, a jacket, a swim suit, all the needed toiletries, an I home, and stuff to use in my room.

Alice and I got a long great and I was actually excited about spending time with her. I learned she is in college and is dating my brother. She also is three years older than me.

Rose helped me set up everything in my room, and was about to leave when I called her name. She stopped and turned around at the door. I walked the ten steps toward her and pulled her into an embrace…

"Thank you….for everything" I mumbled.

"Oh...Bella your welcome. I'm just glad to have you back, and if you need anything I'm here!" With that she turned and left the room.

I got called down for dinner about an hour later, and it was a lot less awkward than breakfast. Although Edward was the same; quiet and staring down at his plate. He caught me staring at him, and I don't know what made me do it but I gave him the look I had been dreading when people gave it to me. Yep the one filled with pity. He got a confused look on his face then looked straight back down to his plate.

I got to know everyone a little better. I learned Rose was dating Emmett too. I'm glad my siblings were happy!

After I asked rose if I could use the pool tonight and she said it was fine so I went upstairs and pulled my new swim suit (it was a two piece and was black with blue polka dots covering it) on with my cover up on over. I headed out side with my I home and I pod, realizing it was now about eight thirty and was dark outside.

I dropped my towel off and headed down to the beach. I set my I home down and turned it on. Paramore flowed out of it and I walked down to the edge of the water and stepped in. The water went up to my ankles. I heard some one behind me so I turned only to be met with piercing green eyes.

It was quiet and neither of us said anything.

"what did they tell you?" he spoke anger tinting his voice.

I knew exactly what he was talking about.

"They…..um….Alice…said your parents passed….away when you were younger and you were adopted…." I trailed off with a shaky breath.

He didn't say anything but I could see all of his emotionsd through his eyes. He almost looked…scared. He looked down at the sand then back up at me. He looked as if he was going to say something then turned away and walked back up to the house with out a word.
