Wow, I got a lot of reviews in the last chapter! Thank you! Here is Chapter 7. Smeyers owns twilight.

Previously in Chapter 6:

"That sounds like a good idea. Go ahead and call her. I will clean up your dinner", he said getting up.

"Alright. Do you want to talk to her?" Edward looked at me, blinked twice, and laughed.

"No Bella, that's quite alright. You go ahead and talk to Sarah."

"Alright." I got up from my chair and headed for my room. Man this was going to be one interesting phone call……..

I reached my room and shut the door behind me. I grabbed my cell phone out of my bag and sat down on my bed. I stared at my phone for a minute before dialing. I really had no idea what I was going to say to Sarah. I was excited about calling her and telling her about Carlisle, but I was scared out of my mind about how I was going to bring Edward into this conversation. And most importantly, what did she have to say about Edward? I took a deep breath and dialed Sarah's cell. It would be morning in London so she should be awake. It rang a few times and then she answered.

"Hello?"

"Sarah, its Bella!"

"Bella!" She screamed into the phone. I had to pull it away from my ear. "Bella, oh my god its so good to hear from you! So how did everything work out with Carlisle? Is he nice?"

"Yes he is very nice. He told me a little bit about my mother and their history together. It really is a sad story. But, he did offer for me to live here, so I'm taking it. I really want to get to know him more."

"Oh Bella I wouldn't have it any other way! I miss you terribly though. How is everyone else living there also? The other vampires." Crap.

"Um…they're nice. There are three girls and four boys including Carlisle…" I stalled for a second, not really sure of what to say next. Screw it. "One in particular said that he knew you."

"Oh really? Who?"

"Uh…his name is uh…Edward?" My answer came out more like a question.

"Edward! Edward is living there?! Oh my goodness, can I please say hi to him?"

"Uh, Edward is busy right now. He told me to tell you he says hi. Sarah can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah Bella, ask away." Here we go…

"Why haven't you ever mentioned Edward to me? He said…that you showed particular interest in him. You always tell me about all the men that hit on you. And you've told me about the couple of men that you have hit on. Honestly, why didn't you tell me about him?" I heard her take a deep breath on the other line.

"Honestly Bella", she said in a sad tone, "I'm ashamed of myself."

"Ashamed Sarah? What the hell do you have to be ashamed of?"

"Well", she began, "Edward is the first man that I've come across who has never shown any interest in me. I always get what I want, you know that. So, whenever my father would tell me Edward was visiting, I would drop everything and go to see him and try to win him over. I sent him letters and he responded to about two of them. I kept writing them, but he stopped responding. Maybe its because I addressed them to Alaska where he was living before, I don't know. Now that I think about it Bella, I should of told you. It really is kind of pathetic. But I thought if I told you about Edward not wanting me, you would make fun of me. I thought you would never let me live it down seeing I've spent my entire lifetime, snagging every guy that has come into view. So yeah, I'm still not giving up hope. I hope Edward comes to his senses one day and sees what he is missing. I've never wanted someone so badly in my life." Wow this was a lot of information to take in. I felt that lump forming in my throat again and I had no idea why. I mean why did I care so much about Edward? I've only known him for a day and he was on my mind like crazy. Why did I feel so jealous about all of this? What's it matter to me? I sat there quietly for a moment.

"Bella?" Sarah asked, on the other line. "Bella? Are you there? Speak up."

"Yeah, yeah I'm here", I responded, finally, "well yeah your right it is stupid. You should have told me, I wouldn't have made fun of you about that. I get turned down left and right. It's no big deal really-"

"No big deal!" Sarah interrupted me. "No big deal Bella? Have you seen me? I can understand why guys turn you down, you're just about as average as every other girl out there, but not me Bella." I sat there for a second, trying to process what the hell she just said to me. Sarah, in all our years being together, has never said anything so rude to me, ever.

"What the hell did you just say Sarah? I'm average is that what you think of me?"

"Well, I mean yeah." Ok, I was officially pissed off.

"Oh ok so you're saying your better then me now Sarah? Is that what your saying? What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you being like this?"

"What the hell is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with you Bella? Maybe if you put out more, more guys would pay attention to you. Its not my fault no guys want you." All right, that was the final straw.

"Well maybe I don't like to act like a whore all the time, like you do. Seriously Sarah what the hell has gotten into you? Not once in the 200 years that we have know each other, have you ever been so mean to me like this. What did I ever do to you? What brought all this on?!" I was fuming.

"I didn't start anything, its your fault."

"My fault!?" I yelled into the phone. Then it hit me. Edward. She was jealous of Edward being here with me and not her. "It's Edward isn't it? Your mad that Edward is here with me and not they're with you." Silence was on the other line. Oh I got her now. "For your information Sarah, Edward told me personally that he didn't want you. He thinks YOU'RE as average as every other girl out there." Suck on that Sarah, I thought.

"No he did not, I know he didn't! You know what Bella? I'm done with this conversation. Call me back when you want to apologize."

"APOLOGIZE?! What the hell did I even do Sarah? I didn't do a damn thing!" I yelled into the phone.

"You heard me! Call me back when you want to apologize. Until then, I don't want to hear from you." And then she hung up. I sat there and stared at the wall for a minute with the phone still to my ear just listening to the dial tone. I then looked down and turned my phone out and started to cry. Sarah has never been like this to me ever. I never knew she even had this side to her. It must have been something she has kept locked away in herself. I sat there crying for a few more minutes and then I heard a knock at my door.

"Bella? Are you ok? Can I please come in?" It was Rosalie. Just what I need, I thought sarcastically.

"Sure Rosalie. You can come in", I responded back. She opened the door and came to sit beside me. She looked concerned.

"I was next door and I heard some yelling. And then I heard you crying. What's wrong? What happened?"

"You'll probably just say the exact same thing Sarah said to me Rosalie", I said, calming my crying.

"Try me", she said smiling.

"Well, I got in a fight with her. It was really stupid actually. I never realized how big of an ego Sarah really had until tonight. She basically said that I was average and that she was better then I am. That was the reason no guys every paid attention to me. She is jealous about me being here with Edward", I said looking down to my hands. Rosalie started laughing and I looked back up to her.

"Oh my god that Sarah?! With out a doubt she should be jealous of you, she is obsessed with Edward. How did you spend your entire life with her? She is awful!" I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Sarah really isn't a bad person at all. She saved my life Rosalie. I don't hate her or anything. I'm just extremely pissed off that she would say any of those things to me. But I guess, in a way, she is right. I'm just average."

"No Bella, you're not Average-"

"Honestly Rosalie", I interrupted her, "coming from you I don't believe it. In case you haven't noticed, you're amazingly beautiful. I don't look a thing near as beautiful as you do." She shook her head.

"Thank you for the compliment Bella, but you don't understand", she said, "your not like every other girl out there. I'm not talking about the half-human, half-vampire part of you, I'm talking about who you are as a person. You're sweet, you're nice to everyone and you don't take anything for granite. You have an awesome personality that any guy would fall head over heals for. And don't say that you're not beautiful because you are. You have very unique and stunning features. If I were human, I would kill to have those big chocolate brown eyes that you have. And just so you know, I'm a little bit jealous of you also." I stared at her in disbelief.

"Rosalie, your jealous of me? How is that possible?"

"Well for one thing, your half-human. I would give anything to be human again. I never asked for this life Bella. Carlisle saved me because he thought that I would be good for Edward…as his mate."

"Seriously?" She nodded.

"Edward never showed any interest in me and I was furious. But then I found Emmett in the forest. He was mauled by a bear. I don't know why, but something inside of me told me I had to save his life. So I carried him back to Carlisle and he changed him. I fell in love with Emmett and I can't be with any other man in the world other then him. I mean, yeah, sometimes he can be as dumb as a rock, but I still love him." She shook her head laughing.

"I still don't understand. Why are you jealous of me?" She stopped laughing and looked at me.

"Because Bella, Edward is showing interest in you that he never once showed to me." That made me perk up a little bit.

"Really Rosalie? He is interested in me? How would you know?" She laughed again.

"I don't know for sure Bella, but I think I am. I can just tell by the way he looks at you. I've never seen him look so intrigued by someone else. I know you've only been here for a day, but in all my years of knowing Edward, I have never seen him look as happy as he is today, ever", she finished, smiling at me.

"Well, I don't really want to get my hopes up or anything. And plus I don't want to upset Sarah more then she already is-"

"Please Bella!" Rosalie interrupted me. "Who cares what she thinks. Follow your heart. Edward does not want her. It doesn't matter what she thinks. All that matters is what you feel and what he feels. Screw what Sarah is feeling. This isn't about her, it's about you two." I smiled back at Rosalie and gave her a hug.

"Rosalie, I can't thank you enough for coming here and talking to me. I really appreciate it." Rosalie pulled away and looked at me.

"No problem Bella. And if that skank gives you anymore problems, she will have to deal with me…and Alice. Because I know I can't leave Alice out of this. She likes a good catfight as well." We both laughed at that. Then I heard a knock at the door.

"Bella?", I heard my father ask outside of my door, "Can I come in?"

"Yeah dad", I answered and my door opened.

"Ah, well its nice to see the two of you girls bonding", he said smiling at me and Rosalie, "Bella, would you like to join me in my office and talk for a bit?"

"Sure!" I said and turned back to Rosalie. "We'll have to talk some more later."

"No doubt Bella. We'll talk some more later", she said getting up and walking out of my room. I looked back to my dad. I got up and followed him back to his office. We sat down in the two big armchairs sitting next to each other. We talked a little bit about what we both had been up to until we had met. He told me a little about his family before he was changed into a vampire. He told me how is father use to hunt vampires. My father told me when he was turned into a vampire, he tried to kill himself. He knew he wouldn't be accepted by society back in those days. He told me a little bit about how he perfected his thirst for blood and become a doctor. It was really a remarkable story. I was shocked hearing all of these stories about his life, but interested all at the same time. I told him a little bit about my life and about Sarah. It wasn't nearly as interesting as his. Then I felt compelled to ask him something I needed to know.

"Hey dad can I ask you about Edward?"

"Sure dear what do you want to know?" He asked.

"Well, when I was talking to Rosalie earlier she said that she hasn't seen Edward really…happy. Why is that?"

"Edward has had a very difficult life. I was treating him and his parents in Chicago in 1918. He was dying of the Spanish influenza. His parents both ended up dying from it. Before his mother died, she told me to do what ever in power to save him. So, I did. When I changed him, I guess you could say he went a little reckless. I gave him the alternative of drinking animal blood but he didn't take it. He went on his own for the first few years, killing humans. But he didn't just kill any humans, he killed the humans that were, I guess, bad. He killed serial killers, robbers, and anyone else that was a menace to society. After a few years, he got tired of feeling like a monster and came back to me and started hunting on animal blood. He still can never forgive himself for the actions he did. He thinks he has no soul. He still thinks he is a monster." I couldn't believe it.

"Poor Edward", I said, "how could he think he was a monster. Those people deserved what they got!"

"I've been trying to convince him that for years, but he doesn't believe me. Bella can I ask a favor of you?"

"Sure dad, anything."

"Since your arrival I've noticed a…change in Edward. I know you two haven't known each other for very long at all, but your presence seems to make him a little bit more….cheerful. Could you please keep him company as much as you can?"

"Of course I will dad. He is a nice person and not a monster. I'll try and make him realize that." My dad smiled at me.

"I would really appreciate that Bella. Anyway, it's getting late. Why don't you get ready for bed. Oh and Bella? How do you feel about attending high school?" My eyes shot open in excitement. I was home schooled by Sarah, but I had never actually been to school.

"I would love to go to high school!" My dad laughed.

"Ok Bella. Well, summer break ends in a couple weeks. I'll get you enrolled. Now go ahead and get ready for bed." We both got up, hugged each other, and said our good nights. I went back to my bedroom, grabbed my pajamas, and went towards the bathroom. I took a quick shower. I got out of the shower and put on my pjs. I brushed my hair out and walked back into my bedroom.

"GAH!" I screamed when I saw Edward sitting on the edge of my bed. "Jesus Edward, you really need to just stop popping up at of no where! Seriously!" He laughed.

"I'm sorry Bella", Edward said, "I'll try and be a bit more careful. Come sit I want to talk to you for a second." I stood there for a second and stared at him. Then I slowly made my way over and sat down next to him on my bed.

"Alright", I hesitated, "What would you like to talk about?"

"Rosalie told me about your conversation with Sarah. Are you alright?" Oh no.

"Oh, um, yes. I'm fine. I'm over it." I looked down and started playing with the drawstring of my pajama bottoms.

"I cannot believe she said those things to you. Your are more amazing then Sarah. She could never be more amazing then you are." I looked up to Edward. His eyes were so genuine and caring. How in the world could he ever think he was a monster? I smiled at him and he smiled back and put his hand on my cheek. I closed my eyes, and breathed in his intoxicating scent. I finally opened my eyes and spoke.

"Thank you Edward. I'm so happy I'll be living here with you."

"I'm happy you're here as well. Now, it's past 1 in the morning. Why don't you try and sleep."

"Yeah that sounds like a good idea…are you staying?" His eyes opened wide and he smiled.

"Only if you want me to…."

"Well…what would you like to do?" I didn't want to force him to stay here if he didn't want to.

"I would like to stay. I'll sit in the armchair in the corner just as I did before." He started to make his way over to the chair when I remembered how I fell asleep on his chest while watching the movie earlier and how comfortable I was.

"Wait", I said. He stopped and turned around to look at me. "Um…", crap I wasn't sure how to ask this.

"Yes Bella?" He asked.

"Well uh I was…wondering if um…if you….you know if you would like to lay with me?" His eyes lit up.

"Sure Bella, I would love to." He made his way over to my bed. He took his shoes off and then crawled onto the bed and laid on his back above the covers while I laid on my side under them. He looked down at me and smiled brightly. He extended his arm and curled me in to lay on his chest like we did earlier.

"Goodnight, Bella", he whispered. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
