Hey guys! I'm going to pat myself on the back. I have been getting chapters out for this story rather fast! I hope you like this story! I defiantly need to know what's going through your minds! Is it good, bad, or otherwise?

I felt the need to follow him, but the fear of getting pushed away again overpowered me. So I grabbed my stuff and headed to the pool.

The water was dark and mysterious. You couldn't see the bottom through the fog caused by hot water hitting cold air.

I set my I home down away from the pool, turned it on and Unbreakable by fireflight flowed through the speakers. I walked over to the diving board and stepped up on to it. I looked down at the water and walked to the edge of the board.

Where are the people that accused me?
The ones who beat me down and bruised me
they hide just out of sight, can't face me in the light
they'll return but I'll be stronger

I jumped into the darkness below me. The water enveloped me and I pushed my self down away from the top of the water.

Sometimes it's hard to just keep going
but faith is moving without knowing
can I trust what I can't see to reach my destiny?
I want to take control but I know better

I'm not sure how long I stayed under, but my lungs were burning. I felt so weak…so….. Numb?

God I want to dream again, take me where I've never been
I want to go there, this time I'm not scared
Now I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable
No one can touch me, nothing can stop me

My eyes were drifting shut and my gaze was foggy, when I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist and pull me to the surface.

I felt bad for leaving her with out any answers….but it wasn't Alice's place to tell her anything.

I couldn't describe the pull towards her. I wanted her to know everything. For her to hold me, and I her. No matter how strong the pull was I couldn't let her in. I was a monster and I didn't deserve her.

What confused me even more was I didn't even know her. How could I be so attached to some one?

I felt my self wanting to tell her everything, but I couldn't she's already been through a lot.

Instead I would keep to myself like I always do. I would stay away from her, because not even Esme or Carlisle knows what really happened.

I thought I could keep away from her, but that changed when I heard a splash and a song by the band Fireflight come from outside.

I looked out my window and saw her dive into the water. I figured she would come back up in a couple of seconds, but I saw nothing. My heart started beating faster as I threw my window open and climbed down half of the tree, and jumped the rest of the way.

I threw off my shirt and dove into the water.

Forget the fear it's just a crutch
that tries to hold you back
and turn your dreams to dust
all you need to do is just trust

I reached her and threw my arms around her waist and pulled her up. We broke the surface and she started coughing up water. I set her down on the step in the shallow end of the pool.

"Are you Crazy?" It just came out of my mouth.

I looked over to those big brown eyes and everything just crumbled around me.

"I'm sorry." Her voice was strained. "I'm sorry….Alice told me. I'm sorry I had to come here. I'm sorry that you hate me. I'm just….sorry." She nearly shouted.

I kept my hold on her eyes, and I saw a tear slip down her face.

It hurt to know that I caused her pain. This was exactly what I didn't want to happen.

I pushed myself forward, and she met me half way. We both were wading in the water to keep ourselves afloat. I reached up to cup her face and felt that shock that I felt the first time I met her. I wiped her tears away with my thumb.

This time, this place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, too late
who was I to make you wait
just one chance
just one breath
Just in case there's just one left?

I faintly heard the song shuffle on my I-pod to Nickel back, but I couldn't really focus, because I was in a place so dangerous, and risky that I could end up broken even more than I already was. I felt that shock again as he wiped away my tears.

I didn't understand anything going on in my life. Anywhere from my mom, my family, or why Edward hated me, but could make me feel completely safe in a matter of five seconds, to the pain in his eyes.

I looked up to see his intense green eyes staring down into mine. I felt his hands slip around my middle back and pull me closer. We started leaning in, and my eyes were drifting closed.

We were an inch away and all I had to do was lean in and I could feel his soft lips on my own. His breath was hitting my face.

I started to lean in and I felt him drop his arms and pull back.

"Im…sor…I can't." He pushed away from me and climbed out of the pool. I watched as he grabbed his shirt then walked in through the back door.

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

The tears slipped down my face and I climbed out of the pool. I grabbed my stuff and ran towards the door, but I tripped on the sidewalk. I didn't have the strength or the courage to get my self off the ground so I laid there as I started sobbing.

I was so sure he felt the spark. So sure he wanted me just as much as I did back there. Then I realized how stupid I must be to think someone like him would ever like someone like me. Broken. My breathing started evening out and I heard the back door open. I felt two strong arms pick me up bridal style and carry me into the house. I could hear two people talking but couldn't make out the words.

I felt the comfort of my bed and finally opened my eyes to see Emmett leaving the room, and Alice sitting on the edge of the bed looking at me.

"Hey." I whispered hoarsely.

"Hey. Do you want to talk?"

I didn't really want to think about anything right now, but I really needed to let everything out. So I told her everything from my mom to when we were in the pool.

"OH, Bella I'm so sorry! And about Edward….I'm sorry that you think he hates you but I can defiantly tell that is not the case. He looks at you like he's afraid he's going to hurt you. Or maybe he's afraid to get hurt. But I think if you give it time he will open up to you. I can't honestly say I know everything that happened in his past, because I don't. He hasn't told any body not even Carlisle and Esme. And I don't know how to explain it but I just have this feeling that he is going to tell you what really happened. Just give it some time. And you are going to have to make the first move…"

I let her words sink in. I didn't understand it, but maybe she is right. I'll just have to try to get to know him. But something in side of me was screaming for me to proceed with caution, because I was in way over my head.

"Thanks Alice. I really appreciate it. With everything that's been going on its really great to….have a friend to talk to."

"No problem Bella! Just remember, don't hesitate if you ever need to talk." I nodded as she waled to the door.

" You should try to get some sleep it's pretty late."

"Thanks again. Night"

She left with a final goodnight, and I was left to my thoughts. Which is exactly the place that I had been trying to avoid for a long time.

I sat up in my bed after staring at the ceiling for twenty minutes.

My window was shut so I'm not sure how I heard it but I did. Edward playing his guitar down on the sand again.

I got out of bed and checked out the window to make sure it was him. It was. So I grabbed my jacket and threw it over my camisole. I ran down the stairs tripping more than once. I flew past a clock on the wall and saw that it was past midnight. I reached the door, opened and closed it quietly. I ran past the pool and down the steps to the sand until I reached him. He was facing the water and I slowed my steps.

(RUN BY SNOW PATROL)

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

His voice was so soft yet so powerful, and full of so many emotions.

I sat down right next to him. And he looked over at me not shocked to the least bit that I was there. Our gaze was held, and it was so strong…almost like an understanding of each other.

He never looked away, just kept playing.

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

The song ended and we just stared at each other. After a while I spoke.

"That was amazing!" my voice barely broke a whisper.

He looked shocked and confused. He stood up and walked over to the edge of the tide.

"Thanks….So why are you out here?" It came out soft but the words stung.

I remembered what Alice told me in the room. You'll have to make the first move…Just give it time.

"I…um…I couldn't sleep." I walked up next to him.

"So what are you doing out here?" I asked calmly.

"I come out here every night. I am an insomniac. I usually cant sleep with out the nightma…I..uh…I usually just wake up.

I could tell he was lying, but I didn't push.

"So…..what's your favorite color?" I asked, hoping to ease some of the tension.

He looked at me like I was crazy. His lips started twitching, until he was full out laughing. I thought about what I said and what's been going on lately, and quickly joined him.

"Brown." He said after his laugh died down.

"Yours?" He asked.

"Green!" I blurted out my cheeks growing red. I hoped he didn't say anything.

The rest of the night continued on like this. He would ask a question then I would. I'm not sure how we went from hating each other to this (even if I didn't know what this was), but I was glad. We said nothing about our past. That was too sore of a subject for him.

We had talked until the sun started to show. And ya I know that it was night time when I came out, but he said he couldn't sleep and I couldn't with out waking up crying so I didn't exactly want to.

"We should probably go inside.." Edward told me. He glanced at his phone that he took out of his pocket.

"Its six thirty-eight."

"Wow. We talked for six hours." I was shocked. And for the first time in a long time I hadn't thought about my mom.

"I guess we did." He looked almost…..guilty?

Neither of us said anything when we were walking back to the house. We went our separate ways at our doors.

I got in the warm shower, and washed my hair with my strawberry shampoo.

When I got out, I saw that there was an outfit layed out on my bed. I walked over to it and saw a note on top of it…

Jazzy and I are out on a date.

Tonight we are going out.

I'll give you details later.

Be in this by six tonight!

Love Ya

Alice!!!!!!!!!!

I looked down at the outfit, and saw a gold and black bikini with short jean shorts, sunglasses, and a cute pair of flip flops that matched my swim suit.

What did she have planned???
