Rights to Twilight are not something I own.

The love of my life. She really was that now, wasn't she? I loved her. I couldn't tell her that though. She was human and had a soul. I couldn't expect love in return. If she knew what I was, she'd probably die of fright. I couldn't be apart of her life. I could, however, watch her life. Make sure she was safe. Protect her from serious harm. Yes, she needed a protector and somehow I fit the job.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Alice squealed at the top of her lungs when we made it back home. She looked like a kid at Christmas and was dancing around the house as quickly as possible. She twirled and jumped this way and that. Excitement overwhelmed us all. Jasper looked like he was about to jump through the roof, he was giddy and excited. Poor guy, having to share Alice's emotion all the time along with the rest of ours. He probably felt like a pregnant woman with all these mood swings.

"A huge sale at your favorite mall in Las Angelus and it's cloudy there today?" I asked, sarcastically. That happened often enough. Although, she was a little too excited for it to be that. Oh well, who really cares. Right now, I really was not in the mood to try and read her mind. I was counting the seconds until I could see Bella. 431,989 seconds to go.

Wow, good guess, Edward. "Well, not in L.A." She was grinning like a fool, "Rose! Rosalie!"

"Alice this might not be a good idea." Esme, Carlisle, and Jasper's thoughts all sounded at once while they spoke aloud. Truthfully, it was an extremely well thought idea for just a shopping trip.

What? Oh, right... Rose's thoughts confused me, but I still was not in the mood.

"What?" Rose responded shortly. She was still trying to remove the green highlights-that Emmett thought would look nice-from her hair. She was more than slightly annoyed. What the hell could Alice want that is more important than getting this damn dye out of my hair? Stupid Emmett.

"Pack your bags. Grab your keys. Unleash your credit cards. We are going to the Mall of America! Let's go! Huge sale. Huge!" She was being dramatic. Rosalie rolled her eyes and scoffed. Just then I caught that this was a staged pretense. I had caught a glimpse of her latest vision and it had nothing to do with the Mall of America.

A dark night. The moon's crescent barely noticeable in the sky. Running quickly. Then nothing. Nothing at all.

"Alice? Is there something you would like to tell me?" I asked impatiently. I was counting the minutes until I could check up on my love. My possessor. My reason of being. My very life.

Your right, Edward. Alice is accidentally throwing brief waves of dishonesty. I feel like I am lying to everyone or something. "Alice?" Jasper was calmer now. Alice looked at us innocently.

Oops! Crap, I thought the Mall of America was a good enough excuse. Uh…that'll work. Yes, yes. I hope everything works out like that. I cannot wait! "Okay, it's not the Mall of America. I did see Rose wanting to get away from Emmett though. Take an hour or two completely to herself. I was going to help her work on the whole green hair thing." She seemed so sad now.

Stupid, dim-witted, idiotic man. I swear if he wasn't so hott I would have ripped him to thousands of tiny freaking pieces. Wait? Did Alice just offer to help? "Stupid Emmett. It's not Saint freaking Patrick's Day! Good bye! Come on Alice, we have work to do." Rosalie finally lost her temper. She had been trying to remain calm all day, but she couldn't hold it any longer. Emmett roared in laughter.

Rosie is so hott when she is pissed! Ha! I should color her hair everyday. Wait, St. Patrick's Day…

Emmett was not always the brightest crayon in the box, but he wasn't dumb either. Normally. He had his moments though, and this was one of them. He was about to say the stupidest thing he has in a while. Rosalie was going to scream and possibly kill her husband.

This could be amusing. If I were human I would grab popcorn and enjoy the show.

"Does that mean that I can do it again for Saint Pattie's, babe?" Emmett just did not know when to stop. Then he imagined her with green hair and a super short green strapless dress. She had fishnets and high heels on. They were in their bedroom, uh oh.

"Please, Emmett, stop!" I begged quietly.

"Stay out of my head." Emmett grinned.

What did he just say? Oh, hell no is he going to dye my hair ever again. "What was that, Em? You want to color my hair again?" She seethed through her teeth. Emmett, being dense today, did not catch the annoyed air about his wife, nor her tone. He better not say one bloody word.

"Yes! I love doing things to your hair. I love doing things to you." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. His mind was vivid pictures of what he liked doing. I couldn't stand it anymore. I started to leave as fast as I could. I would run to Alaska if I had to. Just to get those mental pictures out of my head.

Gosh, he's all lust. Doesn't he get that he should be scared for his life? Rose is boarder line homicidal. Jasper was doing nothing to help the situation. He was holding Alice's hand, to remain calm himself. Alice was beaming, but getting impatient. She wanted to leave with Rose.

In about one second, Alice ran to the BMW, followed by Rosalie.

"Green looks hott on you, babe!" Emmett called after her. Rose's mind was repeating several vulgar words which would make a sailor blush.

"Emmett!" Rose screamed as loud as she could. Then I heard a loud whining of metal followed by the BMW speeding away. I stopped. I was about a half mile from the house. When she sped passed me, I got the idea that she had ripped the door off of Emmett's jeep. Alice was laughing as hard as possible, mentally. Edward! Rose is royally pissed. We might be gone awhile. Can you excuse us from school if we don't come back? Alice wasn't really asking. She knew I would. On top of that, she knew I wouldn't pull revenge on her for the last time she excused me. Although, revenge was sweet.

My thoughts-dilemmas, really-on revenge were interrupted by a very whiny Emmett.

My poor baby jeep! I hope when she calms down she'll put the pieces back together. Edward? Do you know how to fix a door?

I laughed and ran to Bella's house. She would probably be asleep in an hour. I could wait that long. Then I realized I never did figure out what Alice was hiding from me.

As I paced in the shadows of the Bella's wood, it suddenly came to me what Alice would have been so excited about. She must have seen my resolve to be Bella's protector. She must have seen the result of such a feat. This was going to be interesting. That devil pixie knew something. She had better share her knowledge.

Finally Bella went to bed and I couldn't wait any longer. I climbed into her room and sat in the rocking chair. She wasn't sleeping deep enough to get any closer than that for now.

Later in the night I got to hear her talk in her sleep again. In the beginning she was simply saying mindless things. She told a pizza to stay still and was having a-as far as I could tell-interesting and intelligent conversation with a moose. It was later that shocked me. Worried me. Made my dead heart swell. All the above.

She moaned my named several times. She began to breath heavily. Finally she gasped and then whispered, "But! I love you, Edward." In turn, I gasped. She seemed to be getting up, so I jumped out the window.

It had been a long evening. Charlie barely said two words to me-which, hey, I was okay with that. I made Chicken Stir fry before taking up my homework. Most of it wasn't due until the end of the week, but I wanted to get it done. Procrastination really wasn't my thing. I liked knowing that everything was done. Made life ten times easier.

I pulled out my Trigonometry text and flipped to the appropriate page. I was going to attempt the impossible: reading math. I had a piece of strap paper and a pencil handy as I sat down for some quality time with my math book. Oh, how I loathed math. I would be perfectly happy to skip out of it. In my school in Phoenix, only two years of math were required. Here all four years of high school involved math. Grant it, in Phoenix I took Algebra Two even though it wasn't required. Now I was glad I did. I would so not want to be in the Sophomore's Math class.

After about a half hour of getting annoyed at the math book, I decided it was time for a nice long shower. I grabbed my things and my pajamas and ran to the shower. It didn't take long for the hot water to erase all memories of that math book. The bathroom was steaming hot. It wasn't even chilly when I stepped out of the protection of the shower curtain.

I finished my bathroom business for the night and check my email. Renee hadn't written me yet. Oh, well. I turned off the computer and put a CD in my little boom box. I didn't even notice what CD it was, nor did I really care. I plugged the headphones in and turned it up. It turned out to be Big and Rich-they were country and I wasn't really fond of country. I almost took out the CD to exchange it for another one, but then the lyrics of the song caught me.

The song was beautiful. It made me want to cry. To fall in love. Of course, I had already done that. I fell in love with the one guy that would never love me back. The one man who was totally off limits. The one bronze haired boy who was from a different planet. The Olympic god on Mount Olympus-Edward Cullen. I began imagining him and I while I pressed the repeat button for "Lost in this Moment".

Fantasies began to get the better of me. My daydreams were so vivid and surreal. For a second I actually thought it was the truth. For a second I thought that Edward Cullen loved me. More so, I felt like he wanted to spend eternity with me. Just like the man in the song wanted to with his bride.

Finally I couldn't take anymore of this torture. I yanked my headphones out of the player and shut it off. I stomped over to my bed and huffed and I slammed myself onto the mattress. I shut off the lights and tried to fall asleep. I needed to fall asleep.

The day was bright-er. It was okay weather for Forks. I had woken up to someone knocking on the door. I quickly scrambled to answer it. I didn't even look down at what I was wearing. I opened the door to him. I gasped in shocked. He was staring at me and I looked down. My felt my face get red when I realized I was wearing the skimpiest lingerie. I peered up at him to see his eyes still wide as he continued to apprise my body. Then he smiled as his eyes darkened in desire.

Before I knew it, his lips had met mine and we were flying backwards toward the wall. One of his hands was at the back of my neck, pulling my closer to himself as he wrapped his hand in my hair. The other hand was on roaming my entire back-leaving goose bumps as it went. My hands snaked around his neck and pulled him closer. I knotted my hands in his hair. Our bodies pressed together in a tight line, unable and unwilling to part.

Our lips were moving fast and furious as we fought for dominance. Edward-of course- was winning that battle. I suddenly had the need for oxygen. I gasped for air, but got none. As if he was reading my mind, his lips left mine. I groaned in protest-I didn't care that I needed to breathe; breathing could wait-before he began to trail soft kisses down my jaw line. I moaned his name in pleasure as he kissed the sensitive spot below my ear.

I was beginning to breathe heavy again. His mouth came back to mine as he fingered the hymn of the extremely short and lacey shorts I was wearing. Rubbing small circles into my upper thigh. My stomach was knotting in a growing pit of desire. He continued to kiss me harder and hungrier. His tongue traced my bottom lip, begging for entrance. I opened my mouth slightly as his tongue quickly slipped in. He explored my mouth as his right hand continued to stroke my thigh and the other slipped under the hymn of my too revealing top.

I needed to breathe again and he released my mouth. As I gasped for air, he trailed kissed down my jaw line to my neck. He continued trailing kisses down my neck and to my collar bone. He gently nipped my skin and then kissed the offended skin. Moans escaped my lips as he continued down my chest. I arched my back in anticipation as he grew closer to my breast. One light kiss was placed right above my breasts and then suddenly he was gone.

I stood staring. Where did he go? My Zeus? I looked around confused. I softly whispered, "But! I love you, Edward." Then the day faded.

"Edward? Where are you?" I called as I sat straight up. I looked groggily, but frantically, around my room. No Edward.

I was sure that I would find something out of the ordinary. That black and red lacey lingerie, maybe? But no, nothing. I looked around my room in vain. I touched my forehead. I was slightly sweaty from my too good to be true dream. I was wound up slightly from the hormones which were obviously racing. I contemplated taking a cold shower to calm down, but decided I was too sleepy to care. I sighed and fell back to sleep.

I slept in a dreamless sleep until morning. When I woke up I had the strangest feeling that someone had whispered in the night air, "Isabella, I love you." I guess it could have been Charlie, but that was not like him. Nor did it sound like Charlie-at all. The voice was far too velvety. Maybe it was a product of my over active imagination.

Normally I was not fond of the name Isabella. I liked Bella and corrected anyone who called me Isabella. But, I didn't mind Isabella this time. In fact, I loved it. I wanted to hear it again.

I went to school. The day passed slowly. I looked eagerly forward to Lunch and Biology. I was still very thankful that I still did not have Gym. Doctor Cullen was still very high on my favorite persons list. I was, however, very disappointed to see that Alice was not at school today. Neither was Rosalie. Jasper and Emmett looked absolutely lost without their girlfriends.

I thought about asking Edward about it, but was afraid to. Instead I decided to ask the gossip mill herself during Trig.

"Hey Jess!" I whispered.

"Yes?" She smiled. She was eager to talk.

"Did you see Alice Cullen and Rosalie Hale aren't at school today?" I said this as skeptically as I could.

"Yeah! I wonder why? I'll have to get all the juice little details and tell you in lunch. Then all us girls can talk about how hot the Cullen boys and Hale are!" She clapped her hands at the prospect.

I didn't really want to, but I nodded with fake enthusiasm anyways. Then we both turned to the boring lecture.

EPOV

I was trying not to keep tabs on people I knew were going to be near Bella today. I really and honestly did. I failed anyways. While Bella was in Trig, she started whispering to Jessica. She was so beautiful, even in Jessica's tainted mind.

"Hey Jess!" Bella said low. Her brown eyes eager and hopeful. I wondered why.

"Yes?" A real smile. I wonder if Mike has said anything to her about me! Oh! That has to be why she is talking to me. Yes! We will get married on a beach in Hawaii. I'll get to wear tropical flowers in my hair. Bella can be my bride's maid because she helps so much!

"Did you see Alice Cullen and Rosalie Hale aren't at school today?" Bella's voice was skeptical. Almost like she was condemning my sisters being out of school. Of course I also picked up on the curiosity in her eyes and voice. She wanted to know were her new friend was. Oh. Ugh! Why is she so obsessed with them. Wait! Did she ask if I noticed they were OUT of SCHOOL? Just the girls? As in the boys are still here! Yes!

"Yeah! I wonder why? I'll have to get all the juicy little details and tell you in lunch. Then all us girls can talk about how hot the Cullen boys and Hale are!" Jessica's mind was beginning to scare me. A vampire meant to kill. I was scared of a mere human's mind! Oh great. She is going to get all the girls in the school to think hideous thoughts about my brothers and I.

Kill. Me. Now.

Just a few more hours and then I can go hunting and take a swim in the Ocean. A few more hours after that and I can watch her sleep.

I daydreamed about Bella as I walked to my next class. Mike, Tyler, Eric, and a few other potential suitors to my Bella were all talking. Well, they were all insulting each other's mothers. They were also insulting each other's uh, um anatomy. Human teenage boys could get so stupid and annoying. They insult everything. It is just down right sick.

One of the annoying teenage boys-Mike-caught me. There's Cullen. Her lab partner. I should make sure he never wants to talk to her again. Not that Bella and I were really on speaking terms now. I mean, besides her hand, we never said more than five syllables to each other. It looked like it was going to stay that way for a while as well. Even though she had said she loved me in her sleep. Even though I loved her. We stilled weren't talking.

"Hey Cullen!" Mike called. I politely turned to see what he wanted. Not that I didn't already have an idea.

"Yes, Mike?" I fought back the urge to growl. His thoughts were perverted and disgusting.

Ha! I wonder how Mr. Prude Cullen will handle this. Bet he doesn't have a comeback to this one. Huh, he thinks I'm a prude too. Wonder if he has been speaking to Emmett? Prudence happens to be a virtue. A virtue these teenage boys do not seem to have. "Your mom is really good in bed."

Ha! Mike, you have no idea. According to my father's thoughts, she is excellent in bed. Come to think of it, according to Jasper's and Emmett's thoughts, so is Alice and Rosalie. "Yeah, Mike, I guess she might be. But, it's not like any of you would ever know." Never ever! Just like you would never know how my Bella would be- if I had anything to do with it. I will protect her from you scumbags. Unless she wanted the scumbags...

I might cry. Too bad vampires cannot shed tears. No, Bella is better than these boys.

Mike and the other potential suitors gasped. They didn't know what to say. I smiled at my victory. Then one of the boys recovered, "Oh yeah, why not?"

I almost laughed. Besides the fact that what they were talking about is utterly ridiculous and morally wrong, why would a vampire who has a mate even look twice at these lowlife human teenage boys with dirty minds?

"Well, you see, the answer to that is quite easy. My mother has standards." I laughed. Each of them were instantly insulted and arguing that they would be good enough.

"Oh, and my mother has morals as well. She happens to be married to my father. Who happens to be a doctor. Huh, sounds like all you boys struck out." I turned on my heel and left. Emmett would enjoy hearing this conversation. Hell, even Jasper would chuckle. I would never tell Esme nor Carlisle about it. Esme would be mortified and Carlisle might decided those boys needed sedation for a few years.

Alice and Rosalie probably already know. Alice is quite in tune with me and she would have seen it. Then she would have cracked up and laughed so hard that she would have had to shared it with Rose. Rose would find it hysterical. Then disgusting. Then plot the boys murders for me. Maybe not the latter, but a guy can hope.

After class it was lunch time. I dreaded going in there with all those girls and my new enemies who were "going to make my life miserable" for what I said. There was only two ways to do that and none of them knew how.

Good day everybody.

OMG! Ha! The thing that happened to Edward with the idiotic boys happened to me once (I'm Alex btw. Lina isn't here.) I am on a select girls soccer team and we practiced with the boys. Once, I was going to get some water and like five guys were standing about insulting each other's anatomy and mothers. I rolled my eyes and got my water. Well they decided to insult my mother. I almost killed them. No one talks about my mother that way! I said what Edward said. (except the married/doctor thing) Ha! you totally should have seen their faces. PRICELESS! Anyways, later I told them I lost my mother and if they valued their lives they better not try to insult her ever again. I had to add that to this chapter. It was all me. Hopefully "Cattie Mae" won't kill me...

Anyways, we'll update when Lina give me more stuff to write.
