Chapter 3
Give me more loving than I've ever had
Make it all better when I'm feeling sad
Tell me I'm special even when I know I'm not
Make it feel good when it hurts so bad
Barely get mad
I'm so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It's as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There's only
ONE thing (one)
TWO do (two)
THREE words (three)
FOUR you... (Four)
(I love you) I love you
There's only
ONE way (one)
TWO say (two)
Those THREE words (three)
And that's what I'll do... (Four)
(I love you) I love you

3 minutes, I can't wait to go to lunch and be able to eat with Edward
2 minutes, I can't believe I actually agreed to this, what if something happens and I do something to lose my job, or what if something happens and I do something to loose my job.
1 minute, I have to meet the rest of the Cullen family and Tanya Denali Edward's girlfriend
RING! RING! RING! RING! RING!
"Don't forget to finish your assessment for Friday's lesson, anyone who hasn't finished it gets the punishment of scraping the chewing gum off the bottom of the desks" I said whilst everyone was packing up.
In reply to this I got a few eww's as response but then I heard laughing from the doorway, I looked up and into bright emerald green eyes staring at me.
I smiled and Edward returned a smile.
Once the room was empty Edward asked me "are you ready to go? I thought I'd give you a lift as I'm taking Emmett and Alice as well" he said as I nodded my head and picked up my handbag and checked everything was turned off.
We walked outside to find Emmett leaning against Edward's Volvo whilst Alice was walking towards it, she looked at us and waved.
"You ready to meet the rest of the Cullen clan Bella?" Emmett asked once we were all sat in the car, me and Alice had to sit in the back as we had the shortest legs.
"umm yeah sure" I said uncertainly, I'm a bit nervous to meet Tanya but I think I'll live through it.
We arrived at the diner which was only 5 minutes away from the school, we all piled out of the car. As I was getting out of the back my foot got caught on something and I started falling. I fell to the floor, I stood up and looked at my tights and saw exactly what I expected, my tights to be ripped and my knees to be bleeding.
"ewwww thats so disgusting" I heard Alice squeal and looked up to see her looking at my knees.
"it's alright it's just a little blood I'm used to it" I said whilst waving her comment off.
"You alright Bella?" Edward asked.
"yeah I'll be fine, just need to clean my knees and ask if they have any plasters here" I said in response.
"I've got some plasters in my first aid kit and some alcohol wipes" he said whilst opening his boot and getting it out.
Whilst he retrieved the first aid kit I slid my tights down my legs and I sat down to take my sandals off to slip my tights off my feet. I put my sandals back on as Edward came walking around to me.
"Sit in the car but facing me so it's easier to tend to your knees" he said.
I did what he said and he opened the packet of alcohol wipes "this may sting a little" he said and wiped my knees. I gritted my teeth to stop the curse words from leaving my lips.
"you can let them out, we don't care" Emmett told me, he made me jump as I had completely forgotten he was there.
"shit" I whispered and Edward whispered "I'm Sorry" so only I could hear.
"I'm so used to watching my language that I kind of forget when I can let my barriers relax" I smiled at Emmett.
"We are going to go in and let everyone know we are here and tell them your looking after Bella" Emmett said, Edward nodded as a response and Emmett and Alice left and walked into the diner.
Once he had finished wiping my knees clean he took the plaster and opened it and put it onto my right knee, it was the only one that was bleeding lots. The other knee is just scraped.
"Thanks" I said, I then realised that he had my blood all over his hands from cleaning my wounds.
"I'm sorry for getting blood on you" I said to him and when he looked up at me it felt like time had stopped, when I looked into his eyes I saw sadness, loss and something that looked like guilt?
We sat there staring at each other until we could hear someone calling "Edward". Whoever they were seemed to break us out of whatever we were caught in. He stood up and I started to get out and saw a women with long, curly, strawberry blonde hair and is 5'5" tall run to Edward and wrap her arms around him and kiss him passionately on the lips in the middle of the parking lot.
I stood up, closed the door and rushed into the diner suddenly feeling like everything is awkward.
I looked around and spotted Alice and Emmett sat with a beautiful woman. She had a beautiful figure, the kind you saw on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, the kind that made every girl around her take a hit on her self-esteem just by being in the same room. Her hair was golden, gently waving to the middle of her back.
They also sat with a male and female, the male was young, he was blond... and he was handsomer than any other movie star I'd seen. He was pale, though, and tired-looking, with circles under his eyes. The female had something about her heart-shaped face; her billows of soft, caramel coloured hair reminded me of the ingénues of the silent-movie era. She was small, slender, yet less angular, more rounded than the others. I walked over to join them and Alice spotted me coming, "sit by me Bella, Mum, Dad this is Bella Swan our newest English Teacher and amazing friend of ours" Alice said way to quickly than what I'm used to.
"Uhhh Hi" I said awkwardly.
"Oh it's so nice to meet you dear, I'm Esme Cullen, and this is my husband Carlisle" she said whilst I held my hand out to shake hers and got surprised when she pulled me into a motherly hug.
"It's nice to meet you as well" I replied when she pulled back. Carlisle held hid hand out for me to shake and I did, he said "The pleasure is all ours and I'm sure you'll be seeing us around a lot as I do a lot of work for the school, I've been told to expect to see you a lot for first aid and Esme just likes to visit our children" he chuckled.
"uh yeah, I didn't know you were the school nurse" I said looking slightly confused.
"oh I'm not, I just do first aid when I'm around as I'm a retired doctor" he said smiling " and sometimes I teach sport and take Emmett on to prove that I may be old but he'll never beat me" he continued laughing at Emmett's facial expression. I guess he does still beat Emmett then. I sat down next to Alice and she said "what the hell is taking Edward so long to get in the fucking diner"
"Language" Esme scolded Alice
"Sorry mum" Alice said way to innocently.
"When he was wiping the blood off my legs and putting a plaster on it someone called out his name, he stood up and she ran across the parking lot and they started kissing in the middle of the parking lot so I came in here" I said looking at Alice.
"uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm guessing he invited Tanya and she showed up for a change" Alice moaned just as we heard the bell on top of the door chime. We all looked up at it and saw Edward walking in with the woman from the parking lot, they were holding hands but Edward had an annoyed expression on his face.
"Hi Ma, Dad" Edward said hugging his mother and shaking his dad's hand.
"Bella this is Tanya, Tanya this is Bella the new English teacher I told you about" Edward said turning to me, when I looked at his eyes I got a feeling he was trying to tell me more with his eyes but it could be just my imagination. Edward sat next to me and Tanya sat on the other side of him.
Not long after our waitress came over with menus and asked for our drink order. As soon as our drinks order came back and we had ordered our food a steady conversation then started.
"So Bella where were you before you came here?" Esme, Edwards's mother asked me.
"ummm well it's a long story, I moved around a lot, I used to live with my mother, Renee and dad, Charlie but then they got divorced and my mother took me with her to different places but whenever her boyfriend would leave her she would have to move and take me with her, then when we got back here I finally said enough, got my own place and am planning to stay for a while" I said deciding to give them the shortened version of my life. Just as Esme started to talk I could have sworn I heard Edward whisper "I'm glad" but when I looked up he wasn't looking at me at all.
"Oh I'm sorry dear that must have been hard moving all the time although I'm sure you had fun at all the different places, where have you been?" Esme replied.
I guess they wanted the long version instead. "Well , I've been to lots of places, I started out in Forks, a small town near Seattle, until I was 10 and my parents split up, then we moved to here, then California, Connecticut, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Houston, Texas, Florida and then back here" I said.
"Wow, I've always wanted to go to Texas, is it nice?" Alice asked.
"Yeah I really liked it" I said I was just about to describe it some more when my phone starting ringing.
It played the specific ring tone of my best friend Jasper Hale; it played 'Plain White T's 1234'.
"Excuse me" I said retrieving my phone from within my bag.
"I just need to answer this" I said starting to stand up.
"Oh you don't have to leave the table if you don't want to; we don't mind" Carlisle said.
"Thanks" I smiled and answered my phone.
"What do you want?" I asked smiling whilst I said it and laughing when I heard his response.
"Is that any way to talk to you best friends?" he asked.
"Oh so now I'm your best friend, yet you don't want to know me when you have, Molly, Milly, Lily, which one was it, with you?" I asked smiling.
"It was Lily and you know that's different not many girls like that their date/boyfriend has a female as a best friend" he replied
"Anyway what did you want?" I reminded him.
"Well I was ringing to make sure you had the weekend free" he sounded as if he was planning something and I didn't like it one bit.
"Well I'm gunna be marking a lot of work this weekend but I have nothing specific planned, why?"
"Just turn around and find out" he said laughing.
Slowly I turned around and looked towards the door, and there stood my best friend, Jasper Hale. He was 6'3" and has golden honey blond hair. He is muscular, but lean.
I couldn't believe he was stood there and next to him was Peter, another amazing friend.
I put the phone down and stood up, I started walking towards them and there was a smile so big on my face I was sure it was going to break. When I reached them, none of us said anything I just laughed and threw myself into Jasper's awaiting arms, he pulled me closer into his chest and I inhaled his scent, I always missed it when I left and now I felt like I truly was home again.
"Hey" he whispered. I looked up into his eyes and could see the sparkle they got only when he was smiling.
"Hey" I whispered back.
"Hey Bella, foods here" I heard Emmett call. I looked back over to the table and nodded. I pulled away from Jasper and turned to Peter and gave him a quick hug and a hi. I started to walk back over to the table and they followed me.
"Right Everyone this is my best friend Jasper and his tag along Peter" I said jokingly.
"Nice Bells, I missed you too" Peter smiled.
"Jas, Pete this is Edward Cullen, Alice Cullen, Rosalie Cullen, Emmett Cullen, Esme Cullen, Carlisle Cullen and Tanya, I'm sorry I don't know your name" I noticed that as I was going around the table Jasper stopped and stared at Alice until I said Tanya's name.
He looked at me and raised his eyebrow as if to say 'Tanya, the Tanya with Edward'.
I nodded my head answering his silent question.
I had told Jasper about everything from the gorgeous looking man to the spark I feel when we touch to Tanya fucking Denali.
"Denali" Tanya said in a bored tone until she looked up at Peter and I swear she pushes her breasts out a little bit more for him.
"Right ok, well I'm having lunch here then I have to go back to work but you guys can go and hang at my place if you want" I said turning to them after rolling my eyes at Tanya.
"Sure, ok we'll see you later" they started to walk away and my smile fell a little.
"You young men can always join us for lunch I'm sure we can pull up another table and couple of chairs" Esme called out to Jasper and Peter.
They turned around and Jaz smiled and said "if your sure, we'd love to spend some more time with Bells"
So once the table was moved and they had their food, I moved so Alice was sat next to Edward and I was sat by her and Jaz. We'd nearly finished our meal when Jasper turned towards me.
"Oh whilst I remember you do like dogs don't you Bells?" Jaz asked, the glint in his eye told me I should be wary of my reply.
"yeah why?" I asked looking at him skeptically.
"oh I have someone I want to meet when we've finished" he said smiling.
We finished up eating and I found I loved Esme, Carlisle and Rosalie, they treated me and my friends as if we had fitted in with them all our lives.
When the bill came I went to get my purse but Jaz said "my treat, you have to put up with us whilst we are here" but before I could respond Carlisle said "don't be silly we've got the bill covered".
I couldn't believe my boss's dad just paid for the lunch that my two best friends had in a way crashed.
We walked outside and I spotted one of the things I had missed the most, Jasper's red 1953 Chevrolet Pickup Truck, out of the corner of my eye I saw something move.
"Jaz what's in your. . "Before I could finish there was a bark and a Springer spaniel puppy jumped up against the window.
"Omg, tell me he's yours!" I said with a smile on my face.
Jasper laughed and said "well yes he is mine but um well I was wondering if you could look after the little guy for a while" he smiled sheepishly at me.
"Of course" I squealed "wait why you need me to look after him?" I asked as an afterthought as we were all walking over to his truck.
"ummm well, I finally decided I needed to leave home, ma was annoying me so much and well Pete decided to move with me so we are sharing a house, I've bought it and Pete's just staying with me, he'll help with the money for groceries and shit like that" Jaz replied.
"So what's his name?" I asked whilst Jaz unlocked the truck.
"Lucky" Jasper said whilst opening the door.
"Hey Lucky" I said whilst stroking him, "Why Lucky?" I asked turning to Jasper.
"Well he's the reason I'm leaving home and well let's face it as he's a puppy all the females are attracted to him which means I will get Lucky at night, I thought the name was appropriate."
"Ok the explanation was good until you said about females" I said to him.
He started to laugh when I noticed Edward coming towards us "Hey, Bella are you ready to go back, lunch will be over soon, oh he is that a Springer Spaniel, he reminds me of Digby our old dog" he smiled stroking him.
Every so often our hands would touch and I would feel that spark, I wonder if he felt it to?
Digby? Who would name a dog Digby?
He looked at me and saw the confusion in my eyes.
"Alice named him, she was fascinated with some character in a book and named him after her, I named our first dog and Emmett had a pet snake when he was younger so if was Alice's turn" he explained.
I suddenly remembered that Jazz had just told me he's moving "wait, where are you moving to?" I asked whilst turning to him.
"Well it's about a 5 minute walk away from you" he said smiling.
"Are you serious? OMG my best friends gunna be back YAY oh and you Peter" I said squealing then jokingly to Pete at the end, he knew I loved him!
"Oh that's it" Peter says as he stalks towards me.
"Wait what are you doing?" I ask as I take steps backwards.
"Nothing" he smiles evilly.
Suddenly he starts running towards me and before I know it he has picked me up and thrown me over his shoulder.
"PETER PUT ME DOWN! . . . . . NOW" I can feel the blood rushing to my head, I start hitting Peter's back.
I can feel him laughing as he walks back to everyone.
"Peter put me down the bloods rushing to my head" I say pleading with him.
"Ok ok Bell" he says putting me down.
"Jerk" I mutter under my breath making sure all my clothes are in the right places.
"I hate to break up the funny moment but we really need to get back to school, lunch is up in 5 minutes" Edward said laughing.
OMG I had completely forgot about him being there, I can't believe he saw me like that!
"um . . . yeah . . . sure" I stammered whilst looking towards the floor.
Peter and Jasper started laughing so I flipped them off on my way to Edward's car which caused them to laugh harder, jerks, I'll get them back later!
Just as I was opening the car door I saw Tanya walk up to Edward and passionately kiss him, I stopped for a second before deciding to ignore it. I shut the door to the car when Alice said "ughhhhhh why would he do that with her, I mean look at her, the blonde haired bimbo" which cause Emmett to burst out laughing. A couple of minutes later and Edward and Tanya finally stopped kissing and Edward got in the car to drive away.
The car ride back to school was silent and awkward.
Emmett was trying to stifle his laughter, Alice was glaring at Edwards head, Edward was well I'm not too sure he kept looking at me and there was something in his eyes but I couldn't tell what, and me well when I wasn't looking at Edward I was staring out the window.
We arrived at school and Alice got out the second the car stopped and headed in the direction of her classroom.
Me and Emmett got out but Edward stayed in until we had shut the doors and then I noticed him talking to himself.
"I'll see ya later Bell-a-roo" Emmett said whilst walking toward the main building.
I guess I'd better get back to my class room.
I started to walk away when I heard Edward's door open and close, then "Bella" I heard him call.
I stopped and debated about turning around, I didn't particularly want to look at him and what he did with Tanya but I did anyway.
Slowly I turned around and found him walking towards me.
"I . . . My family all seem to love you" he said, I got this strange feeling that wasn't what he originally wanted to say.
"Thanks, they are a great family to have" I said as a reply.
We just stood there for a minute or so just staring and looking for something within each other, I guess he found what he was looking for because he suddenly said "well I better get back to my office" and abruptly turned and stormed off towards the offices.
He left me standing there confused, hurt and shocked.
What the hell was that about?
I stood there for a few minutes trying to figure it out when the bell rang telling me lunch has finished.
I had a last look towards the offices to see if I could see him but I couldn't so I turned around and walked to my classroom.
The rest of the day went y in a blur.
I don't know what really happened, I just hope I managed to teach everything I needed to.
I was too preoccupied with what Edward had said, and wondering what he was looking for within me that he found so suddenly.
Hope you liked it!
Let me know and leave me a comment in a review, I would love to hear what you think and to hear any of your ideas!
Till next time bye!
