Can't Be Acknowledged By You

Chapter Nine: Meet The Family

Bella looked stunned at me as I asked her "Bella? What ELES did Alice tell you?"

She rasised a perfect eyebrow at me - god in this mood - could she be anymore hot? - or beautiful?

"Edward? Is there something your not telling me?" she whispered in a seductive tone - I could tell easily by her blush that she didn't mean it to be sexy.

"Urmm nooo" I said, drumming my fingers on the roof of my Volvo. "Cool, then I suppose the fact that your still a virgin, don't do anthing to your hair but gel it non-stop and that you once..."

"Stop!" I said shakely. "What?" she asked in an inocent tone. "You lied, so your just paying the price - Alice told me loads of great stuff about you and urmm bad stuff as well." She trailed off, with a huge smirk on her face. I grimaced.

She ran up to the door and rang the doorbell. I made no motion to move at all. The door jumped open and Esme, my mother walked over the threshold. "Why hello! You must be Bella! I'm Esme - so nice to finally meet you!" and she gave Bella a hug. Bella smiled weakly, embarassed - "Thank you Esme - your home is very beautiful."

Not as beautiful as you I heard myself think. I walked towards Esme and hugged her as well. "You alright mother?" I questioned. "Yes yes, do come in!" Esme replied. We walked in and the door was closed. Carlise was walking slowly down the stairs. "Hello" he said, "I'm Carlise."

Bella's face brightened "Yes - when I was really little - your the doctor who fixed my kneecap. I was the baby girl screaming." the memory seemed clear to her. Carlise chuckled "Oh I remember now! How is Charlie?" he asked.

"He's good. Where are the others?" I asked. I heard a skiek and looked up. Alice ran down the stairs and gave Bella a bonecrushing hug. "Yay!" she squeeled. Bella mock-glared at her "Alice?" she growled. "Whta did I say?" Alice grinned cheekly. "Sorry mother!" She said. Esme smiled.

"Would you like some food?" she asked Bella. "Yes please if you don't mind." Bella said, worring that she was a burden. I hugged her close. "Your not a burden Bella - calm down." She calmed and kissed my nose. She seemed ok.

After my family had been introuduced through smiling at Bella freakishly, I found out how Bella had met Alice. On my day off the other day, Alice had said hello to her. She had even gone shopping with her after school!

"Bella, we should of bought thoose white pumps! They will go perfect with your prom night outfit!" she gused. My ears pricked up. Bella grinned. "I know! hopefully he'll like it! we need to go back and find them - then maybe we could get you some blue bows for you hair, Alice - y'know they'd totally go with it." - Bella was either a good actress or crazy.

I wanted to know who she was going with and it drove me crazy. Who was he? Why would she go with...oh rite.

It was a quiet drive home after lunch. Bella had recieved some girfts that Alice called 'junk' and ect. I warned Bella but she'd said it was a girl thing.

"Bella?" i asked nervously, turning my head towards her - why did she always look so beautiful?! Her mother and father had named her perfectly - as Bella meant Beautiful in italien.

She tunred towards me, still looking out at the road "hmm?"

"Can I talk to you?"
"Sure"
"At least look at me"
"You'll survive - you never looked at me twice before I wore prerocative clothing" she muttered softley.
"BELLA!"
"what the fuck do you want?!" she reached. We'd arrived at the house and seemed to regain her anger.

"Bella, whats wrong with you?" I yelled back.
"You know Edward - leave me alone. I now need time to prepare for my date to come round"

that hurt. "Whos ur date?" I asked.

"I said leave me alone - or i will avoid you completly" she threatened.

She got out the car and into her house without another word. I drove silently home, fighting tears all the way.
