Disclaimer : I don't own twilight or any of the characters but I do however own Stephanie Meyer's soul.

All the Cullen's have the same cars in this story because I couldn't be bothered to make them new ones, if anyone asks they're as good as they were when they were used in Stephanie Meyer's books.

This chapter is dedicated to me. Well I wrote it! I think I deserve a dedication!!!! No I'm just joking this chapter is dedicated to everyone who reviews. Not reads. Reviews. Or wanted to review but couldn't because of some valid excuse like : no account, dentist, doctors or the dog ate my homework. And breaking some random bone doesn't count! Enjoy!

Chapter 3

Bella's point of view:

I stepped on the brake and my Ferrari came to a stop just behind Edwards Volvo. There was an inch between them so I lightly pressed the gas. The car slid forward and whacked into his car leaving a pretty Ferrari shape in it. Muahaha. Edward must have heard because he came out relatively quickly.

'Oh come on! What did the Volvo ever do to you?' Muahaha. I knew his weakness.

'It didn't Edward. But you deserved it.' His face was almost crippled with pain. Tehe. This was fun.

'Only Bella.' He muttered under his breath.

'What if I wasn't Bella?' I asked him.

'You'd be dead right now.' Well that was simple enough.

'Bring it on Eddie. You couldn't beat me if you tried.' Surprise crossed his face at my confidence.

'Oh couldn't I?' He challenged.

'Nope. 'Cause I'm faster, stronger, a better fighter and you can't get in my head to cheat.'

'Maybe. But you have a very precious little car right here. What would happen if I were to accidentally scratch it?' I had an identical one at home that looked the same but was better (ie: faster with more gadgets) so I didn't really care. All the same I feigned horror and gasped.

'You wouldn't.' I said, totally "shocked". He walked over and put his finger on my car dragging it back leaving a silver line across it. 'You're gonna wish you didn't do that.' I said and he would. I walked around to the front of his car and put my fist through the bonnet mangling the engine and brakes. His jaw dropped and he kicked a hole through the door of my car. We continued to destroy it each others cars in a similar fashion until everyone else came outside.

'If you two are done destroying each others cars...' Alice said. I burst out in hysterics.

'I don't get it. He just destroyed her Ferrari. I repeat. Ferrari, And she's having hysterics?' Rosalie was shocked and everyone looked worried for my mental health. I stopped laughing enough to tell them.

'Well, first Edward's car is going to set on fire in exactly 6 seconds.' Edward walked away from his car and sure enough 6 seconds later it burst into flames. 'Second, my car is still driveable. And third, I have another Ferrari exactly like that but faster and with more stuff at home.' Everyone burst out laughing and Edward just looked annoyed and humiliated. Then I realized Esme and Carlisle were still inside. I nudged Alice. 'Can we go see Carlisle and Esme now?' Everyone stopped laughing instantly and exchanged a look. 'What? What happened? What am I missing?'

'Nothing much. It's just when Edward told us that you left him and we saw the state he was in Esme got very protective an-'

'Oh my god Edward! You're going to die! You made Esme hate me with your lies! I really hope you wont hate me to much after I've destroyed your piano and everything in your room.' He looked shocked.

'You wouldn't.'

'Oh wouldn't I? I think we've proved I have the upper hand here seeing as none of my belongings actually mean that much to me. You could burn my house down and I wouldn't care. Whereas your piano and music collection mean a hell of a lot to you and if I destroyed them ... Well, that would be a sorry sight now wouldn't it?' I shook my head, mocking him.

'Oh my god Bella! Please don't! I'll go sort everything out with Esme and Carlisle just don't destroy all my stuff!.' Muahaha. Today was fun.

'You'd better do it fast Edward because you have 10 minutes before your piano say adios.' He ran into the house and disappeared. I started giggling evilly and soon everyone else was joining in. Alice dragged me into the lounge and we all fell on the sofas. We all stopped laughing eventually and Emmett strolled over to me.

'High five Bella! If anyone else did that to him he would go crazy!' I smacked my palm against his lightly and looked at my watch. 'How long has he got left?'

'1 minute and thir-' Something barrelled into me and I screamed. Then I realized it was Esme. And she was hugging me! Yes! Success! I hugged her back for a second then she pealed away.

'Bella! I'm so sorry! I didn't hate you! I just got protective! Please forgive me?' I laughed.

'Of course I forgive you! There was never anything to forgive. But do you forgive me?'

'Of course I forgive you Bella, how cou- Oh my! Why are there two destroyed cars outside? And why is the one that looks like a Volvo on fire?' Everyone laughed apart from Carlisle and Esme.

'Edward and Bella had a bit too much fun destroying each other's cars.'

'I only put a little dent in his! He deserved it!'

'Bella honey? What kind of car did you have?'

'One of the new Ferrari's bu-'

'Edward Anthony Mason Cullen! Get down here right now! You are in big trouble!' Edward appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

'I thought I was banned to my room for a month apart from school?' Muahaha. I might go terrorize him while he's in there.

'Did you destroy Bella's Ferrari?' He gulped.

'Yes bu-' Esme cut him off.

'Do your realize that that car cost more than most houses do?'

'Yes bu-' Esme cut him off again. It was starting to get funny.

'Explain yourself.'

'Bella dented my car!' She shook her head at him.

'You deserved it.' She snapped at him then turned to me and spoke in a kinder voice. 'Bella you can explain what happened.'

'Well I dented his car. And you did deserve it Edward. Then he scratched mine so I put my fist through the bonnet and mangled the engine and brakes in one. And then things got out of control so I set Edwards car up so it would explode into flames. I'm sorry for causing problems Esme but it was very funny.'

'It's okay Bella. I'm sure it was.'

'Oh it was, mom!' Emmett added from across the room and Esme shot him a glare.

'Edward go back to your room. Then you can tell us your story Bella.'

'Oh but mom! I want to hear Bella's story too!'

'I'm sure Bella will tell you some other time.' I started to shake. My past scared me. Still. I realized that I was still hearing everyone's thoughts because of Edward's power and caught sight of myself in his head. My eyes were wide with panic and I was shaking lightly. I didn't want to tell my story. How I was changed I didn't mind but after that. I didn't want to say. I was too scared. Edward rushed to my side and grabbed me just before I fell over. I turned my face into his shoulder and the shaking grew more violent.

'Sssh Bella sssh. It's okay. You're safe and we wont let anything happen to you.' I nodded and tried breathing slower. 'Come on.' He led me upstairs and into his room. He sat me on his bed -since when did he have a bed?- and sat down next to me when I wouldn't let go of him. 'Bella, it's okay if you don't want to talk - and its okay if you do - but you have to understand I'll never let anything hurt you. Never again alright?' I nodded. 'Now are you going to let go of me?' I shook my head and pulled myself closer to him so I was sitting on his lap, holding on for dear life. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me as well, clutching me tightly as if he didn't want to let go. Ever. And I was okay with that, it made me feel complete again, the hole in my chest had just about vanished.

Alice appeared in his doorway about an hour later and when she saw me curled up on his lap she jumped a little in surprise.

'So are you two back together then?' I jumped off his lap and moved away. Edward rolled his eyes at me.

'No.' We said at the same time then laughed.

'Well it sure as hell looks like it.' We both shot her a glare. 'What!?! I'm just saying!' She cried holding her hands up.

'What do you want Alice?' I asked in a bored tone.

'Well, I thought you might want some new clothes so I ran back to your house and grabbed some. Is that okay?' I nodded.

'That's fine. So what clothes did you get me?' She smiled and held a plastic bag out to me.

'These. Blue skinny jeans. A cream, long sleeved, high neck, pussy bow shirt and patent leather cream t-bone heals. And there's clean underwear somewhere in there too.' I liked her choice of outfit. I was going to wear it next week.

'Thanks Alice.' I said and grabbed the punky-fish carrier bag off her. She smiled and nodded, dancing back down the corridor. I looked around Edward's room quickly. Damn! There wasn't an en-suite! 'Edward?' I sang. He looked at me and smiled. 'Close your eyes and turn around.' He continued to smile except it grew more cheeky. He shook his head. I pouted. 'Fine. Just trying to protect your innocent eyes.' He opened his eyes slightly as I kicked of my converses and socks but he didn't quite realize that I was serious about getting changed in front of him. I pulled my oil-stained tank-top and skinny jeans off and threw them on the ground next to me and Edward's eyes opened wider. I wanted to blush at the fact I was standing in front of him in a black lace bra and pant set that revealed quite a lot. But I didn't want to hesitate so I undid the clasp of my bra and let it fall down my shoulders, dropping it on the floor with my other clothes. Edward's eyes looked like they would drop out of his head and his mouth was hanging open.

'Stop drooling Edward.' I laughed and his jaw snapped shut. Only to fall right back open again when I stepped out of my pants. Then I crouched down, still facing Edward, and started to root through the clothes she had brought me, looking for the underwear. I found them under the jeans and almost cursed at her choice. It was a lacy flame red thong with the matching bra that gave "extra support and push up" ie: it made my boobs look massive. She must have seen this coming. Then again it couldn't be much worse, I was currently totally naked so clothes would be better than this. I sighed and stood up pulling the thong on. Edward shifted uncomfortably on the bed.

'What?' I asked.

'Nothing. Your just really beautiful.' I smacked him over the back of the head with the bra before putting it on.

'Thanks.' I said, bending down to grab the jeans. I pulled them on and did the button up.

'You know I would have actually turned around and closed my eyes.' I froze.

'What?' I growled at him, anger bubbling up in my chest.

'Nothing.' He muttered. I chose to ignore what he had said and pulled the shirt out of the bag. The vest wasn't there.

'Alice!' I shrieked down the stairs. She appeared outside the door in a second.

'What?' She looked annoyed like I'd called her from something really important. Which I probably had.

'You forgot the vest!'

'No.'

'Yes you did. It's not in here.' I said shaking the bag upside down. 'See.'

'Oh I know it's not in there. I just thought that if you were spending the day with Eddie here you might want to give him something to look at.' My mouth dropped and I grabbed a shoe in my hand. Alice, seeing what I was gonna do (hit her over the head with the shoe), turned and ran with a "well sorry but I have things to see and people to do" which made me laugh. I pulled the shirt over my head then spent a minute trying to do the button up at the back.

'Here. Let me get that.' Edward's velvety voice came from behind me and when his hands brushed my skin I shivered.

'Thanks.' I mumbled again then went to look in the mirror. It was hopeless, the shirt was totally see-through and you could see the details of the lace quite clearly through it. 'We ditching today?' I asked casually.

'If you want.' He said plainly staring at my chest.

'It would be nice. And if I catch you staring at my chest one more time I will put you through that wall.' He laughed at me but brought his eyes back to my face. Clever boy.

'So will you tell me about what happened in the 200 years while I was away?' He asked in a light joking manner. I stared at him, eyes wide, for a second then turned and bolted out of the house. 'Bella!' He yelled and he was running after me. It was useless though. I was faster than him and I was in my house in less than 10 seconds. I hit a button on the wall and metal shutters came down over all the windows and doors (that led outside). I was plunged into darkness but my vision adjusted quickly and I could see everything perfectly.

'Bella!' He yelled, hammering on my door. I ignored him and walked over to the piano. I sat down and sang the song I wrote about him.

[This is based on a real song but I could only remember the chorus and the first two lines so I had to make the rest up.]

It was a cold and dark December,

From the rooftops I remember,

There was snow,

Cold, white snow.

And I try not to remember,

All the nights we spent together,

And I grow cold,

So cold.

So if you loved me,

Why'd you let me go?

And if you loved me,

Why'd you let me go?

Edward started hammering on the door even harder at this point, yelling my name but I ignored him.

And we're sitting down together,

Saying things I'll never forget,

But you grew cold,

So cold.

Why'd you tell me that you loved me?

And then just turn around and leave me?

On my own,

I'm so alone.

So if you loved me,

Why'd you let me go?

And if you loved me,

Why'd you let me go?

Edward knew the song was about him. He was screaming my name as loud as he could, telling me he was sorry, asking me to come out so that we could talk.

And I'm breaking down in pieces,

And you're trying not to hear this,

And I'm looking to the sky,

Asking God why I was born.

And I'm crying under the streetlights,

And I'm lying in the moonlight,

And I'm begging for some peace,

Just so that I can carry on,

Just so I can carry on.

The door crashed down and light flooded in from outside. But I ignored it all playing the piano, working new melodies into the bridge. Edward was standing behind me and I changed from playing the tune into a simple 4 chord tune. I whispered the next words instead of singing them.

'If you loved me, why'd you let me go? And if you loved me, why'd you let me go?' I played a gentle scale in the same key I'd been singing in and listened as the final note echoed around the room, adding to the horrifying silence. We stayed like that for a minute or more until I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up with every intention of running again but Edward grabbed my arm and held me. I could have broken out of his grasp easily but I didn't want to. He pulled me into his chest and hugged me, stroking my hair, clutching me as tightly as he could.

'I'm not leaving you again, Bella. And I'm not going to let you go anywhere either.'

'I don't believe you. You'll just get bored again and run off with someone else to do something else.'

'I wont! Bella, don't believe that! Don't even think that! I will never ever leave you!'

'It never made any sense for you to love me. I'm just plain and boring. I know why you wouldn't change me. It had nothing to do with my soul, did it? You just didn't want me around for the rest of forever.'

'Bella! Me not changing you had everything to do with your soul! And you're not plain and boring! You're the most brilliant thing in the world!' I was shaking again, shivering almost, and shaking my head against his chest. 'I love you Bella.' But I couldn't stop the shaking, my body or my head.

'N-N-No y-you d-d-don't.' I managed to say.

'I do. I love you with every little bit of my heart, every bit of my soul. And you're always mine, no matter whose arms you're in.' I couldn't take it. I unprized his arms then threw him through the wall with my telekinesis.

'No Edward. I'm not yours. I was once but you left. I'm not anyone's anymore, not even my own.' And I ran again.

I could have left it there. I could have made them kiss and said 'Happily ever after' but where's the fun in that? She's gonna run instead. Next chapter coming soon. R&R please!!!

Smiles! Xoxo!!!
