AN: I had this chapter typed out and I had to post it. I don't think I even got ten, but hey, maybe I got more, I'm not sure. I'm glad you all like it. I hope you enjoy this next chapter. I didn't want to give away who the neighbor is, but in this chapter you learn. Edward, Emmett, and Alice are siblings. Jasper and Rosalie are siblings. Review if you like, review if you don't. Enjoy!

Edward's Point of View

"Mom, I'm home!" I called.

I heard a door slam, Emmett's home too.

"Edward, come here please," she responded from the kitchen.

"Coming, mom," I said. I just got home from football practice – coach needed me to help him pick a new team. Let's just say that this year is going to be hard.

"Edward, we have new neighbors across the street, why don't you go and say hello?" she said when I got to the kitchen doorway.

"Do I have to mom? I mean, do people really do that now?" I asked, annoyed that she was asking for my time, I needed a shower.

"Well, we do it, and I just made these and I wanted to welcome the Chief's daughter. I heard from Mrs. Newton that her mom died in a car accident and that's how she got those horrible scars. I couldn't imagine," she babbled on, still holding a small pan of chocolate chip cookies, still steaming a little.

"Mom, you know what happens," I said, referring to the fact that every girl I meet practically drools over me. I don't meant to sound cocky, or self centered, but it always happens. I cannot help it, I have good genes.

"I don't care, you are going to give them to her," she said sternly.

"I'll be down after I get dressed and take a shower. I just got home from practice, mom, have a little consideration for that poor girl's nose," I joked, faking a pleading tone.

She chuckled and shoed me out.

IN MY ROOM

I was showered, dressed, I tried to brush my main of a hair, just like my mother likes it.

I sat down at my desk and pulled out my school bag. I got all of my homework done and pulled out my laptop.

(Their lazy, Emmett is in his room, Jasper is in his, at his house.)

Emmett: Hey, man. You signed on!



Edward: Yeah, I did. I just wanted to ask you guys what you thought of the team.

Jasper: It's simple really.

Emmett: Can I answer for you Jazz?

Jasper: Go ahead.

Emmett: We are going to get creamed!

Edward: Okay guys, I have to go. We have a new neighbor. I need to go welcome her.

Emmett: Whoo, Edward. No, wait, that's the Chief daughter, she's off limits.

Jasper: I heard that she's depressed. Her mom died in a car accident. She has flashbacks that will creep us out tomorrow, and her scars are horrible. All over her face, but just her face.

Edward: What do you mean flashbacks?

Emmett: Yeah, what's that mean?

Jasper: She would see things that would remind her of her mother and her accident, then she goes into a flashback. It's creepy because she screams and she cries, she would punch you in the face if you touch her, she kicks. It looks like she's in physical pain.

Edward: Whoa. I really don't want to do it, now.

Emmett: No you have to! Here take my camera, I want a picture.

Edward: No, I'll just wait 'til later, when the Chief normally goes to bed, I'll just hope that he answers. Gotta go. See you tomorrow.

Edward has signed off.

Jasper has signed off.

Emmett has signed off.

I walked over to the window, the lights off, I was about to leave, and I saw the Chief's daughter, undressing; I couldn't help but stare. The window was shining just right; the light stretched out and hit from her neck down. I couldn't see her face, but I'm not sure I wanted to. I didn't want her scars to ruin this for me. She pulled off her shirt, and exposed her beautifully tan skin of her stomach. She had muscle, but not body builder, but a flat, muscled, stomach. She had a black lacey bra on, that contrast with her skin perfectly. She bent over, but I couldn't see her face, her gorgeous mahogany hair was hanging over her shoulders and I could only see the top of her head. I saw her cleavage. She pulled her pants down, exposing her lacey underwear. She –



"Hey, Edward, I want – Why are you crouching by the window in the dark?" Emmet asked, causing me to jump up out of my position.

"No reason Emmett. What do you want?"

Emmett walked over to my window and looked out. I could see his eyes searching the yard and he stopped where I did.

"Whoo, Eddie, oops, I think I should call you Tom," Emmett boomed.

I looked at her and saw that she had her back to us. She had the perfect body, that's all I'm going to say. She was going through a suit case, she pulled out some shorts and a tank top.

She put them on, first the shorts, barely covered her underwear; then she put the tank top on, she put it over her head. The straps were on her shoulders, but the actual tank top was bunched up at the bottom. She pulled it down, but it was still not covering her bra. She held onto the straps and pulled it up. It's what my old girlfriends did when they had a tank top with a built in bra, but they didn't wear a bra with it.

She came over to the window and Emmett and I practically dove head first to the floor. I got on my hands and knees and crawled over to the window. She was just looking out the window, at the trees and my house, she didn't stop at my window, she kept going, looking around. Her scars were horrible. How could someone with the perfect body, have the most horrible face. No, her face would be perfect like the rest of her, if it wasn't for those scars.

She pushed open the window and went and lied on her bed. She curled up and just sat there. Trying to fall asleep.

"Damn, Edward. Did you see her bod? Whoo, you have the best view in the house," Emmett said.

"I do not plan on watching her, it was just a coincidence," I said. "Besides, what am I going to do? Have a stake out?" I asked, joking.

"That's just what we should do!" he boomed. "It can't be tonight, we have school and it doesn't look like we're going to get anything else out of it. Umm, we need to bring Jasper too. I think that we shouldn't bring Tyler, or Mike, not Eric, either. They'll tell, or make fun of her. We just want a good show, not a more depressed teen aged girl on our hands. I could barrow mom's bird watching binoculars. Yeah, wait no, we need three, I'll just go to the Newton's store and pick some up," he continued.

"No, Emmett, we are not going to spy on the neighbor girl. Do you remember what you said on-line? She's the Chief's daughter!" I whispered fiercely. "Remember? Off limits!"

"Come on, Edward! We have to, you have the best room," he pleaded. "You cannot tell me that you don't want to see that again. By the looks of it, she has a C 34 bra size and a medium sized underwear, she's shy, she –"



"How can you tell she's not shy?" I asked, cutting him off.

"She has a tattoo, on her right shoulder blade and another on her lower back. The shoulder was, I think, a heart that says, 'RIP Mom. I love you,' inside. Her tattoo on her back was a knife, very detailed, and it was pointing into her butt. It has some ivory wrapped around the handle and the blade, and a belly button ring," he said, taking his finger and drawing a circle where his belly button is.

"You learned all of that over 50 yards away? Hell, how do you know that from across the street?" I asked, bewildered.

He shrugged. "I'm just surprised you didn't notice it. Anyway, I think that we might have something big on our hands. I'm not sure but I have this feeling that she's special in some way. God, she had her whole ear pierced. The whole way around. She's H-O-T!"

"What would Rosalie think if you knew about this?" I smirked.

"What would Lauren think if she knew?" Emmett smirked as mine fell.

"Boys, time to go to bed!" Esme called.

"'Night mom," we called back at the same time.

Emmett left my room and I stripped into my boxers. I crawled into my bed and fell asleep.

4: 54 IN THE MORNING

I jolted upright because I heard a ear piercing, blood curdling scream. I scrambled over to the window, I saw the Chief in her room, shaking his daughter awake.

"Bella! Bella! Wake up, get up," he screamed franticly. He got no response because she just went limp on the bed. "Get up! Someone get a doctor!" He screamed. He started to shake her more violently.

I thought it was odd for him to scream when there was no other person in the house, or the street for that matter, other than us.

I looked at the window and saw Bella, I think it was, thrashing. My eyes went wide when she screamed again. It had to be louder than the first, and the first was loud.

My family came into my room – Mom, Dad, Alice and Emmett – I stepped away and my father came to the window.

He went wide, just like mine had. "I- I don't know what to do. I've never seen this," he whispered.

"Let's just go to bed, it's not our business. We have no right," Esme said. "Edward, if it gets too loud then I hope you will move to the guest room, you need sleep."

I nodded and went to lay in bed again. I could hear Chief Swan screaming to his daughter. My family left and I closed my eyes.



I heard sobbing, I raised my head enough to look out of the window. Chief Swan was kneeling by his daughter's bed, where she went limp again, holding her hand and talking in almost whispered words.

"Bella, come on Bells, you need to get up. You have to wake up; please."

I heard gasping, and "Thank God!" I heard more sobbing.

I decided that I needed a better view. I got up and went to the window. I saw Bella curled up into a ball, with her father's arms wrapped around her. I could see Chief's mouth moving in comforting words. I saw him say, "You scared me half to death, Bells. Please don't do that again."

"Sorry, Dad. Go back to bed, it happens all the time."

The night was so silent that I could hear everything; and the things that I couldn't hear, I could read their lips.

I finally felt the exhaustion of the time. I saw that it was five o'clock. I fell into the bed and didn't even bother to pull the blankets over me, I just fell asleep lying sprawled out on my bed.

I fell asleep after hearing Bella's door shut and the squeak of her bed, Bella lying down also.
