[[Terribly sorry. This has taken several months to get out. I've been suffering from severe blockage. And lack of spare time. Ha. Ha. I will try Harder. I promise.]]

Edward came into the gym midway through P.E. and handed my teacher a note. He read it over several times and nodded. Edward came over to me and looked down at me reading. "Come on." He said holding out a hand. I just looked at him. He rolled his eyes, "Just come on. We're all waiting for you outside." He sighed. I took his hand and stood up. He let me go and we headed up the stairs and out the door. He picked up an umbrella that had been leaning against the door and popped it open. The whole walk to the car he didn't look very happy in the least. I was beginning to think the other Cullens were on my side. Except for the blonde one, Oh what was her name….

"Rosalie" Edward barked at me. I jumped and looked at him my eyes wide. I had momentarily forgotten about his mind reading ability. I stopped him, what I believed a safe distance from the others, and looked at him. What came next I did not think, but said to him.

"Earlier, in the library. That little 'show'. Don't think that was for me. It was never my intention to make you all have to leave. To make you all have to go somewhere else. I never wanted that. Okay?" I said quietly. Edward nodded and he looked well… He looked touched. I smiled and continued walking. Edward quickly caught up to me with his long strides. He led me back to the parking lot. Back to where we were earlier. When we could see them Alice smiled and clapped her hands together obviously excited.

But by what I did not know.

When we got over there Alice hugged me tightly and Edward looked at her pointedly.

"Can I tell her?" Bella asked from her perch on the windowsill of the jeep. "How does she do that? And with an umbrella too" I wondered.

"Balance" Edward said smiling, "And yes love you can tell her. Although do it quick because I believe Alice may just burst from over excitement." He laughed and Jasper's lips twitched into a slight grin. Alice glared at him, from under the safety of the umbrella and behind Jasper of course, but then rolled her eyes.

"Well, thanks to Carlisle, and his amazing power of persuasion. We don't have to leave." Bella said softly. She smiled and looked down at Edward. They kissed softly and I looked away.

"Jesus Edward." Jasper said sighing and looking down. I think that was the first time I'd heard him really talk.

"Sorry. Sorry." Edward said laughing and throwing his hands up in defeat. He took a step back from Bella but she dragged him back. I laughed quietly and they all looked over at me. It seems as though they'd forgotten I was there.

"But we'll see you tomorrow," Edward paused and looked over at Devon his left eyebrow raising, "And no sooner." Devon's jaw tightened noticeably. I sighed and began to walk away, back towards the Gym.

"No need." Alice said smiling and lifting Jasper's and her entangled hands above her head. She spun on her toes gracefully only a moment before the bell rang. She smiled and kissed Jasper's lips softly. I looked away once again, a feeling of intrusion upon their romantic moment. Jasper looked at me and gave me a soft look. "No need for that" He said quietly. He smiled and nodded lightly his hair falling into his eyes but falling away the moment he lifted his head again. Devon stood across from me just watching.

Rosalie looked at me and spoke in a rude tone, "So how'd you know?" She was sitting in the backseat of the Yellow Porsche. Emmet sat behind her his arms wrapped around her stomach and waist. He looked around her and looked at me. "I read. A lot actually. Just remembered some things I'd heard. And also my friend is obsessed with vampires. So I'm constantly hearing things about them. You guys." I paused confused on how to continue but picked back up anyways, "Mostly how some have special powers. And how you're always so cold... But you're eyes threw me off. It says they're normally red; blood red." I stopped finished with my little speech and looked at her. She nodded and Emmett smiled.

"Smart one we've got here." Emmett said with a laugh. Rosalie smirked unimpressed.

People began flooding out into the parking lot. Umbrellas and rain coats of every colour in use by the baker's dozens over twice and twice again. I turned and looked back at everyone.

They all looked back.

"Is she with the Cullens?" I heard some one ask.

"Looks that way" They replied. I turned back towards the Cullen's and laughed.

Alice looked at me, "But now that you know you can't tell anyone. No One at all. Ok? But don't worry I know you won't." She asked looking at me dead serious but finished with a smile and a tap of her temple. I nodded slowly. Alice and Jasper moved to get into the Front seat of the Yellow Porsche. "Pick you up in the morning" Edward said moving to get into the Volvo pulling Bella, who'd jumped down from the Jeep window by now, along with him. Rosalie apparently did not like that statement. She growled and slammed the door. I walked behind the Yellow Porsche over to my black one and Devon followed behind. I opened my door and sat down now looking up at Devon.

Ha. As if there was a time I never was looking down at him.

"Tomorrow, we can go public" He grinned and I took this as his way of asking me to be his girlfriend. I smiled very, very excited and said to him, "But of course." He laughed softly and closed my door. I started my car pulled out of the parking lot Alice, Edward, and Devon leaving close behind. I smiled like a complete retard to myself as I drove home as slow as possible wanting to savour every moment. I frowned though realizing I wouldn't be able to see Devon tonight.

Cullen Home

"Don't even try it Devon. Edward will kill you. And you know it. Going public is one thing. Sneaking into her room is another. You'll see her tomorrow anyways. And I still can't believe you two are going public already. You hardly know her." Alice said her eyebrow had risen in questioning part way through. She and Jasper sat on the couch Alice curled against him.

"It was just a thought, Alice. Calm down. And the point of being with her is to learn more. Besides you've already seen her with us." Devon said rolling his eyes. He sat on the floor staring out the large safety glass windows that took up most of the walls in the Cullen home. Carlisle claimed it to be a slight remodeled version of their old house in Forks.

When Edward had met Bella.

When Bella was still Human.

"But you know when I saw her she was a Vamp-" Alice started but was cut off by Jasper and leaped off the couch and was now in front of her crouching low to the ground. Devon glared at her, his eyes had narrowed to slits and a low growl emitted from deep in his chest. "Reed, will not become one of us. Ever. I won't allow it. I'd die myself before I'd allow that." He snapped at her. Bella came down the stairs cautiously and looked at Alice worried. Alice just rolled her eyes and shook her head slowly.

"Boys, Boys, Boys. You all love Nessie now don't you?" Bella asked stepping between them. Jasper and Devon broke their gazes for only a moment to answer "Yes".

"Then stop your pointless fighting. What Alice sees, IS what Alice sees. Now please, do get over yourselves. Jasper, get back on the couch. You of all people should be able to tell she'd irritated. Devon, don't try that mind crap on me. It won't work. Sit back down!" Bella said switching from looking at one to the other. Alice sat up and Jasper crawled back behind her and she leaned against his chest and began running her hand up and down his left arm slowly and calmingly. Devon sat back down on the floor staring out the window. He glanced back at Bella and she gave him a smile.

"Do it" She said with a smile.

He smiled and stood up forcefully, pushing himself off the ground. Alice moaned in distaste, "Devon. You be glad Edward is out hunting. But don't blame me when he is not pleased in the least when he gets home. Bella, you really shouldn't encourage him like that!"

"I specifically remember loving when Edward visited me, Alice; and the sooner he does it a first time the less afraid she'll be of us." Bella said quietly. Alice just sighed.

"Bella" Jasper began looking at her, "Over the 40 years since we found you, or rather, Edward found you, my control has not improved in the slightest and Devon's is far worse than mine was at your birthday…" He stopped but she got the point.

Sadly.
