A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a long time, but I have been busy with school and work and all the volunteering I've been doing. Right now I should be studying for my finals but I felt bad for making you waiting so long. So here it is. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own the lovely and incomparable Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn books. The wonderfully and amazingly talented Stephanie Meyer does. Sometimes this world is just unfair. I'm only borrowing her characters for the time being (though I wouldn't mind borrowing Edward for an eternity).

First day back- Chapter 17
Song -Let Me Be the One by Mandy Moore
EPOV
I woke up feeling very excited about today. Today was Sunday, so hopefully I could spend the day with Bella. I got out of bed went to the bathroom and showered for a long time. When I got out I changed into a pair of dark wash jeans and a black T-shirt, and went downstairs to go get something to eat.
When I rounded the corner in to the kitchen I saw everybody but Bella. Hump maybe she is still asleep. I went up to Esme and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning mom" I said.
"Oh good morning dear, have seat and I'll get you your breakfast." Esme said, while she was making a plate for me. I sat down next to Emmett who was asking for seconds.
"Did anybody see Bella leave" Esme asked, while she set down my plate and grabbed Emmett's plate.
"She was here, I didn't even notice" Rose said. While the rest of my family just shock their head no.
"Of course she was here, she was seating where Edward is sitting now" Esme said. "You guys need to include her more."
"It's hard to include her when she doesn't talk; I can't read her mind you know." Rose said. "Plus she always in her room, it's like she doesn't even want to be with us."
"I think she is just shy and a little scared. Rose wouldn't you be shy if you came into this family by yourself, not knowing anybody?" Jasper asked.
"Yes, but I would at least try to fit in and make some friends." Rose said.
"But she isn't like you Rose, she has probably been through more than you have in your life." Alice said.
"Okay, but we both lost our parents, and Jasper and I functioning just fine and so can she." Rose said getting defensive.
"Yeah, but you guys didn't go into foster care like she did. You came to live with us, with people you knew and who you could trust, and she didn't have that. "I said starting to get mad.
"Okay, why is everyone ganging up on me? All I was saying was that it's hard to include her when she doesn't talk. "Rose said.
"But she can write you the answer." I said.
Emmett gave me a stern look, trying to tell me to shut up, before saying "Look babe, were not ganging up on you, were just trying to explain her situation." he said before getting up and giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Okay children, this has gone out of control I just want her to a part of this family and feel welcomed, okay?" Esme said
We all nodded our heads and continued to eat our breakfast, but the mood wasn't cheerfully anymore, it was quit.
After we finished breakfast, we went our separate ways. Jasper and Emmett were playing video games, while Alice was sketching in her drawing book, Rose was looking through one of her magazines, and I was playing the piano. I just couldn't get this tune out of my head.
After a while Alice came and sat down next to me, she loves it when I compose a new song.
"Where did you get the inspiration for this one?" Alice asked.
"I don't know, it just kind of came to me I guess. I couldn't get this tune out of my head." I said
"Well it sounds lovely." she said.
"Thanks, but everything I try sounds either off or completely wrong. It's frustrating. "I said
"Well you should take a break and clear you mind and maybe the rest will come to you" Alice said.
"What should I do then?" I asked
"I know lets play baseball" Alice said excitedly
"Who's playing baseball, I want to play" Emmett said.
"Me too." Rose and Jasper said in unison.
We all went in to the backyard and started to play it was Emmett and me on one team and Rose and Jasper on the other team, while Alice was pitching the ball. For someone so small she was one hell of a pitcher. We played until Esme came and told us it was dinner time. Playing was so much fun and Alice was right I cleared my mind and I got some new tunes in my head.
I looked up into the window of Bella's room and she was just standing there looking through the window. I was going to wave but she turned away. I wonder how long she has been there.
I left the backyard and started to head upstairs to go wash up and get ready for dinner. As I rounded the corner I saw Carlisle coming out of Bella's room.
"Hey dad, what's wrong?" I asked, nodding towards Bella's door.
"Nothing's wrong I just feel that she is not fitting in as well as I would have hoped. She is just so used to being by herself, that is all she knows." Carlisle said absentminded. "Well I'll see you down stairs for dinner okay Edward." he said while patting me shoulder.
"Yeah sure dad." I said.
When I walked into my room I couldn't stop thinking about what Carlisle said. He said some interesting things. It would be hard for someone to become social, when all you have known is loneliness.
I went in to the bathroom and washed my face, then went back in to my room and changed in to some new clothes, then headed downstairs for dinner.
When I entered the dining room Bella was sitting where I usually sit, but it was fine. I sat next to Emmett, which was across from Bella.
During through the whole dinner I wanted to talk to her but I couldn't think of anything good enough to talk about with her. I saw that Alice would try to talk to Bella but she didn't have her whiteboard with her so it was kind of hard for her to.
After dinner was finished we went in to the family room and started to decide which movie we wanted to see.
"Bella is there anything that you want to watch" Jasper asked and we all looked us to see what she would say or in her case write down, but she just shock her head no.
"Come on Bella there has to be something you want to watch" Alice said.
She found a piece of paper on the counter and a pencil and wrote something and handed the piece of paper to Alice.
Alice read what she wrote and laughed." Well we have both movies if you want to watch them? I haven't seen those movies in a long time" Alice said.
"What movie? I want to know." Emmett asked with a little pout like a little boy.
"The Little Mermaid and the Wizard of OZ" Alice said
"I haven't seen those movies in forever. Lets watch them." Rose said excited
"That's fine with me" Jasper said with a little smile.
"That's fine with me to." I said
After a while we were all watching The Little Mermaid. I was sitting next to Bella again on the sofa. While everybody else were all scattered around the room. Once it ended Jasper got up from Alice's side and put in The Wizard of OZ.
Bella only made it a little more than half ways through The Wizard of OZ before her eyes start to droop. She looked so cute when she was asleep. Everybody else was so into the movie that they didn't see Bella was asleep. After a while she started to lean on me. Her body felt so good against mine.
"Man I love this movie." Alice said once the movie was done.
"Good choice Bella." Rose said
"SHH! She is asleep." I said. I picked Bella up and started to carry her to her room. Bella was really light; it was like she weighed almost nothing.
I took her into her room and placed her on the bed. She looked so peaceful. I moved a piece of hair out of her face. I stood there for a little while before going to my room and falling asleep.
The next morning it was time for us to go back to school. Great. I went to go take a shower and changed in to some clean clothes and went downstairs to get something quick to eat.
Everybody was already downstairs eating, except Bella.
"Where is Bella? Isn't she going to school with us?" I asked
"No, she's not." Esme said
"Why not?" I asked, while grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl on the counter.
"She has a doctor's appointment with your father to get her cast off. Hopefully." Esme said looking up at the clock "You kids should get going or else you going to be late."
The ride to school was very talkative like most days, but I couldn't stop thinking about Bella and how she was not going to be at school today.
The first four periods of school were boring. All the teachers asked what we did for spring break and then hear the same answers.
"What did you do for spring break Edward? Asked my English teacher in third period.
"I just went to Alaska, to visit some family friends" I said in a bored tone.
"Was it fun to be back in Alaska again?" She asked like she was really interested, maybe she was, who knows
"Yes it was." I said.
"Well that sounds very interesting." My teacher said before I tuned her out.
My fourth period was Gym and that wasn't that much different, all we did was play basketball.
I was just happy that lunch was here. To see my family again and be with more interesting people.
When I entered the cafeteria I spotted Alice sitting by herself. I got my food really quick and walked over to the table where she was sitting.
"Hey Edward how was your day?" Alice asked
"Where is everybody else?" I asked Alice.
"I don't know. You never answered my question Edward."Alice said
"It's boring. How's yours?" I asked
"It was fine. You know what I've been thinking about Edward?" Alice said. I waited for Alice to keep going but she didn't.
"No what Alice" I said
"Starting tomorrow were going to have to take two cars instead of one, because Bella will be coming with us, but I was wondering who is going to be riding with who. I know you will want to drive your own car, but....." Alice was saying.
"Hey guys. Sorry were late. So what were you guys talking about?" Emmett asked as he sat down along with Jasper and Rose.
"Who is going to be riding in what car tomorrow. I said
Why would we be taking two cars?" Rose asked
"Because Bella is going to be with us tomorrow. Duh." Jasper said
"I can drive my BMW M3 convertible. I love that car" Rose said excitedly
"Then I'll be in Rose's car, no offense Eddie." Emmett said. I just glared at him for calling me Eddie.
"Whatever, what about you two?" I asked looking at Jasper and Alice.
"I think I'll ride with Rose. I haven't been in her car in a long time." Alice said, but the way she said that sounded like she was up to something.
"If Alice is in Roses car then I'll be in Roses car to." Jasper said looking down at his food.
"So what nobody want to ride with me?" I asked.
"You'll have Bella." Alice said with a smile on her face
"That's if she want to ride with me, It seems that everybody want a ride from Rose and not me. What I'm not good enough anymore?" I said laying the guilt on thick. In truth I want to be alone with Bella but I can't let them know that or else I won't hear the end of it from them, especially Emmett.
"Oh shut up Edward. Stop trying to make them feel guilty. We all know you want to be with Bella alone." Rose said, while taking a bite of her salad. Everybody started to laugh.
Lunch went by without anything that was to interesting, just Emmett telling some ridiculous movie that he wants to see in the movie theaters about a vampire, who falls in love with a human and how the vampire can't control himself around her, but in the end everything works out after another vampire starts to hunt her.
"Why would you want to see that" I asked
"Cuz it sound cool, well not the whole love story part but the action part" Emmett said right when the bell rang for fifth period.
I walked to Biology slowing, thinking about how tomorrow Bella and I will be walking together to this class. I entered the class and went straight to my seat, ignoring Laurens stares at me.
The rest of school went by so slowly, all I wanted to do was go home and see Bella. When the final bell rang for school to end I couldn't have been more excited.
I walked straight to my car, and saw Alice there waiting for me. I opened the door and got in the driver's seat.
"What's taking them so long?" I asked to myself
"Why are you in such a rush Edward, is it because of a certain someone?" Alice asked, giving me a weird look
"No; shut up" I said
Alice just smiled and gave me a little laugh
"What's so funny?" Jasper asked as he, Emmett and Rose got into the car
"Nothing" I said not wanting Alice to tell them why I was in such a rush to go home. I sped off toward home, going at least double the speed limit.
When we got home I was the first one out of the car. I entered the house and went in to the kitchen to get some water, I needed a moment to think of a reason to talk to Bella, but I couldn't come up with a reason. Maybe listening to some music will help I thought.
I walked upstairs thinking maybe I can ask her if she wants me to catch her up in biology, but what if she says no, then what? When I started to get closer to my room, I could hear music coming from within. I opened the door to see Bella sitting on my black leather couch swaying to Debussy, with her eyes closed. She looked so beautiful and at peace, I just couldn't stop staring at her.
Finally, when the CD ended, she opened her eyes to see me leaning against the door
"You like Achille-Claude Debussy?" I asked while walking towards her. She just nodded her head yes.
"Do you have a favorite?" I asked. She held out one finger to tell me to wait and she got up and when to her room to go get the whiteboard. When she walked back into the room I was sitting down on the couch, I motioned for her to come sit with me and she did.
Clair de Luneshe wrote on the whiteboard. I smiled and said that was my favorite also. I asked about other music that she might like and she wrote them down. We like pretty much the same music which was kind of surprising.
After a long time, Bella's stomach started to grumble. I chuckled a little and said that it was dinner time for Bella. She just smiled and nodded yes. We walked downstairs and went into the kitchen to go get something to eat.
"What do you want to eat" I asked. Bella grabbed the paste that Esme made yesterday and poured it into a bowel and put in into the microwave. I got a bowel full of paste just like she did.
We ate in a comfortable silence. I can't believe that I spent the rest of my day with Bella. She is so nice and funny.
Once we were done eating, we went in to the family room with the rest of my family. Jasper and Emmett were playing some kind of video game, and by the way Emmett was acting you could tell he was losing. Alice and Rose were talking about something in the magazine that they were reading.
Bella and I sat next to each other on the couch and watched Emmett lose to Jasper. It was hilarious, Emmett kept on challenging Jasper to another game, but Jasper would say no, which caused Emmett to call Jasper a chicken while saying that Jasper was afraid that he was going to lose. But finally Emmett convinced Jasper to another game.
And Emmett lost again but it was a close one. I couldn't stop laughing at how bad Emmett was losing to Jasper; it was hilarious how Emmett would get all mad about losing. I looked over to see Bella looking at me, it kind of made me a little nervous, I gave her a smile and we just kept looking at each other, when a fit of giggling broke our eye contact.
It was Alice and Rose that were giggling; they were huddled up together talking in whispers. They kept looking at Bella and me. It got kind of annoying. I turned back to the game Jasper and Emmett were playing and this time Emmett was in the lead, but not by much and Jasper seemed to be catching up.
A few minutes in to the game Bella got up and started to walk away, I reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Where are you going?" I asked concerned
She grabbed the newspaper and a pen that was sitting right next to it and wrote I'm going to bed kind of tired, plus we have school tomorrow.
"Oh okay, do you have everything you need for school?" I asked. She shook her head no. I grabbed her hand and led her up stairs to the third floor. Her hand felt so nice intertwined with mine, it felt right, like it was suppose to be here forever.
I open one of the closets on the third floor where there was every school supply you could imagine in there, from backpacks to every pen color imaginable to lead in every size. She looked like she was in shock.
"With five now six kids in the house, we go through a lot of school supplies, especially when we have school projects to do. So what do you need?" I asked. She looked speechless, not that she would have talked anyways
After Bella got everything ready for school, I walked her to her room, which was right nexts to mine, but I don't think she knows that, yet.
"Goodnight Bella. Don't let the bed bugs bite." I said with an evil grin on my face.
She wrote Thank you for everything Edward. And don't worry I won't.
She entered her room and I walked down stairs to play some music on my piano, a new tune popped into me head and I started to play it. It went perfectly with the rest of the song that I was composing.
After a while I got up and walked upstairs to by my room, I was getting tired, and for once I can't wait for school to come. I actually want it to come sooner, but that is only because I knew Bella was going to be there.
I changed in to my pajamas and crawled under the covers and fell asleep.
Let me be the one
You give your love to
The one you need baby, baby
Let me be the one
You give your love to
The one that gives you loving, oh, oh
Let me be, let me be
Baby let me be the only one
I see the sadness in your eyes
Don't you get lonely for me sometimes
Long for the love we had
I'll be waiting when that day it comes
You need somebody
Won't you let me be the one
Come to me, put yourself in my hands
