Bella POV

I woke up after a very restless sleep and headed to the bathroom so I could have a long relaxing shower. It was Friday so I had to go to school but I wasn't hungry so I thought I would skip breakfast and enjoy a long shower instead.

Charlie had already left to go to work so he couldn't rush me to get out.

I stepped into the shower, relishing in the warmth of the water on my back. All I wanted to do was relax and not think about the upcoming months but I couldn't stop thinking about it.

My Family is that of a traditional one. They believe that the Father is the one who chose's the man whom his daughter will marry, and there is no way out of it. I had no choice in the matter as did my mother.

God how I miss her. Her Father and Charlie's father decided that they were to be wed. So she did as she was told and soon after fell pregnant with me. When I was about 3months old she decided she couldn't take it anymore and that she just wanted to be free. So she ran away with me.

We lived in Phoenix and She met a man named Phil whom she was very much in love with.

Charlie and Renee's father Tracked us down soon after but my mum was just not going to reason with them.

My family isn't violent or careless so they let her have her freedom. She was the only exception in my families history and they weren't going to change their ways.

Phil was a minor league baseball player and was travelling a lot. Renee wanted to be with him so I volunteered to live with Charlie to make both her and Charlie happy. Ever since agreeing to let mum have her freedom, they decided that I would spend each summer with him so its not like I don't know him at all.

And so here I am. In Forks, I have been here for the last couple months. Its an alright place. At first I couldn't stand all the rain but I've grown accustomed to it.

3 moths. In 3 months time I was going to be Mrs Edward Cullen. The Cullen's were an upper-class family who also believed in the same traditions as my family.

Charlie and Carlisle were very good friends and both thought it would wonderful for Edward and I to marry. Edward is gorgeous I will admit and he is a wonderful person. He thinks the world of me. I was happy with my fathers choice. I mean I would of liked to of had say in the matter but at least he picked me a boy who knew how to be a gentleman, and I figure seeing as I don't have a choice I may as well enjoy what I've got.

Edward and I are both 17 and we are to be married after we both graduate and turn 18. We both attend Forks high together. Along with his sister Alice who is my best friend. Edwards older Brother Emmett Is already married to beautiful wife Rosalie. They all live in Carlisle & Esme's mansion together here in Forks.

Then there is Edward's other brother Jasper. I've never met him as he doesn't live with the rest of the family anymore because he refused to marry the girl they had picked out for him. So he was sent off to live with friends of the Family, The Denali's for a little while. No one in the family talked about him very often and the disappointment was clear in Carlisle's voice whenever he spoke about Jasper. Esme was somewhat different, She was of Corse disappointed that they had to send him away but she was too caring and compassionate too hold a grudge. She missed him terribly as she got along with him better than her other children before he left.

********

Still lost in my thoughts as I got out of the shower I heard a car pull up and a knock on the door, I knew that it was Edward, He always picks me up for school and he is never late. Sometimes I think he is too perfect.

I quickly got dressed and skipped downstairs to greet him and head off to school.

" Good morning Bells, How was your night?"

" Morning, it was alright, I didn't sleep very well"

He leaned to give me a hug and I snuggled in against his chest. He kissed me lightly on the forehead before gently grabbing my hand to head towards the car.

We parked in his usual spot next to Alice's car and she jumped out her face bright with excitement.

" What's she so happy about? I whispered to Edward.

" Did you forget about the shopping trip you two are going on this afternoon?"

" Oh right. Yeah I guess I did forget. Oh great as if I'm not going to be tired enough by the end of the day"

"Hey Bella, Hey Edward" Alice chirped.

" Morning Alice" I said in a happy voice, I was happy to see her but I didn't feel like going shopping this afternoon but I knew she would not take no for answer.

The bell rang and Edward gave me a last kiss before he headed to his first class. We only had biology together so we wouldn't see each other until lunchtime. And just like every other day I got the usual glares from Lauren and Jessica. They were jealous that I was with the best looking boy in the school and that he had shown them no interest in them what so ever.

Alice and I headed to our first class which we shared together hand in hand laughing at the other girls petty jealousy.

Class was going very slowly. It felt as though it had been going for hours when we were only halfway through.

Alice had lost her excitement and looked as though she was very deep in thought. This could mean one of 2 things. She was either really interested in what the teacher had to say ( which was unlikely for Alice) or She was sensing something coming. She truly was an exceptional human being, she often could tell things were going to happen before they did. She couldn't see exactly the future but she could sense when something good, bad, exciting was going happen and often had a good idea of what it was going to be. Kind of like premonitions.

" Alice, are you ok? You look lost"

" I'm fine, I'm just getting the feeling that something is going to change tomorrow. But I cant tell if it's a change for good or bad"

"Oh, well hopefully for the good. We need some excitement around here"

" Hmm I know how you feel"

The rest of the lesson and the lesson after that went along as it usually did slow and boring.

I was in gym which had neither Alice nor Edward so it was rather lonely. Not to mention how terrible I was a sports. I generally just kept out of the way. I started to get consumed in my thoughts again and before I knew it was lunchtime.

I headed towards our table to find Alice and Edward already seated with their food and tray full of food for me. I took the seat in between them and realised how hungry I was when I saw the food.

"How was gym Bells?" Edward asked.

" I didn't trip or get hit with a ball!"

" Gratz!" they both said in unison.

We ate our food and chatted about the usual stuff. Alice did most of the talking though and it was mostly about what we were going to buy at the shops this afternoon and what we were going to do when we got home. I was staying at the cullens tonight after shopping.

After lunch Edward and I headed to biology.

"So um Alice was saying in history this morning that she could sense a change coming our way"

" Really? I wonder why she didn't mention anything to me"

" Oh you know Alice, you probably didn't want to worry you"

" Come to think of it Carlisle was acting strange this morning I wonder if it has anything to do with him"

Before I got a chance to respond the teacher started talking putting an end our conversation.

I already had my overnight bag in Edwards car and he was going to take I back to their house for me while Alice and I were shopping. We said our goodbyes and Alice and I jumped in her car and headed towards Port Angeles.

Alice wanted to buy me some new outfits and new pyjama's and some for herself also.

After a couple of hours of trying on outfits we were putting our stuff in the car the head home.

I ended up coming out with some new shirts and jeans. A lacy skirt that told Alice I would never wear but she insisted I get it because they didn't have one in her size and she absolutely adored it, and 2 new sets of pyjama's. One was a nice blue colour that had a simple tank top and matching long pants. The other however was not something I would of picked out for myself but Alice insisted that it looked fantastic and that she would torture me if I refused.

It was a black tank top that had black lace lining the sides that you could see through and matching short shorts.

I couldn't imagine what use I would get out of it anyway. Edward was very much like his father when it came to traditions and had decided that we were to wait until we were married before we got intimate.

We carried our bags inside the house, and found everyone sitting in the lounge room talking.

" Hey Alice, Hey Bella, Come sit" Esme gestured us towards her so we did as she asked and went to sit down.

" Ok everyone, your probably wondering who was on the phone this morning" said Carlisle

" Well, Jasper called from Alaska and he wants to come home. He is still refusing to follow tradition but did apologise for the trouble he caused. I told him I would discuss it with the rest of you before we made a decision"

" Oh I miss him so much I would be so happy for him to come home" Esme face lit up as she spoke.

" Dad, I don't know I mean what if is only coming back to cause more trouble" Edward had mentioned his disliking of jasper before but I didn't think he wouldn't want him to come home.

" Oh c'mon Eddy, I miss my other Brother, I need someone else to beat at video games!" Emmett looked like he was having trouble containing his excitement.

I glanced over at Alice who had a knowing smirk on her face.

"Now I think it will do him good to come home, and I can understand that he would be thoroughly sick of The Denali's by now. Edward it seems you are the only one who disagrees?"

" Its just he broke family tradition. I cant see why any of you want him around after that"

" Edward, we all know what he did but he is still family. We still love him and we all miss him. He is just more of a free spirit than the rest of us. Its happened in our family history before and will probably happen again but we cant just abandon our son, your brother"

" I suppose" Edward grumbled in response.

" Good I shall call him and give him the good news" Carlisle left the room to go call Jasper and Emmett returned to his video games. Esme had followed Carlisle into the kitchen. Rosalie looked over towards me and Alice a smile on her face.

" So are you girls going to show me what you brought?"

I immediately felt bad for not inviting Rosalie. She was only a year or so older than us and loved shopping as much as Alice did.

Alice turned to Rosalie,

"Of Corse we are!! Its shame you couldn't of come. You would of loved some of the stuff they have out this season"

" I wish I could of but Emmet and I were busy arranging our little getaway we are going on soon"

They must of noticed the confused look on my face because Rosalie turned to me and smiled,

" Emmett and I are going on a small holiday sometime soon so I've spent all afternoon flipping through travel brochures."

" C'mon Bella lets go upstairs to my room and show Rosalie our sexy new outfits!" Alice grabbed my hand pulling me towards the staircase.

I glanced over at Edward giving him an apologetic smile, as I had not even greeted him properly since we got home. He looked up and smiled gesturing me to follow Alice and Rosalie and turned back to watch Emmett play Guitar Hero.

We spent half an hour modelling all our outfits for Rosalie and telling her about our day.

Soon after Emmett called us downstairs fro dinner. Esme was a wonderful cook and she always made something different and exciting.

After dinner we decided that we would all watch a movie together. Apart from Carlisle and Esme who had gone upstairs. They had told us that Jasper would be arriving really early tomorrow morning before any of us would even be awake but they wanted to be awake for him when he got here so they were going to go to bed early.

We all agreed on watching 'Sex Drive' it was just another one of those teenage comedies where there nerdy guy wants to get laid etc.

I snuggled up against Edward on the lounge and covered myself with a blanket. I felt safe in Edwards arms, it was very comforting.

After the movie I couldn't hold back my yawn and Edward and I decided to go up to his room and get ready for bed. Our parents didn't like the idea of us sharing a bed but they both knew Edward was very true to his beliefs and they knew nothing would be going on, so Edward and I both slept is his bed whenever I stayed over.

I had a quick shower and decided to wear my new black pyjama's to see what kind of response I would get from Edward. I glanced at myself in the mirror and headed back towards the bedroom with a robe covering myself in case I ran into anyone in the hallway.

Edward was already under the blankets when I got to the bedroom. I took off my robe and hung it on the back of the door. I walked over towards the bed doing my best seductive walk that I could even though deep down I knew I wouldn't make him change his mind, but hey I may as well give it shot.

He looked up at me and smiled as I crawled onto the bed next to him.

" You look beautiful Bella"

"Thanks, I wasn't to sure about this set"

"It looks amazing sweetie"

I leaned over to kiss him but he seemed kind of distracted. I could tell he was very tense.

I kissed him on the lips once more then made my way to his neck. I was placing soft kisses along his neck when he stopped me and just whispered

"Don't tempt me Bella"

"What if I want to tempt you?" I said trying to sound cheeky but seductive at the same time.

"You know how I feel about this Bella, Now get some rest please I can see how tired you are"

"Fine, Goodnight Edward"

"Night Bella, I love you"

"You too"

I could tell he was worried about tomorrow. He really didn't want Jasper back home. I guess it was because everything and everyone was so happy at the moment and he didn't want anything or anyone to ruin that. But surely Jasper couldn't be that bad I can understand why he would refuse, my mother was the same.

Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Well there it is chapter one. Thanks for taking the time to give it a go : )

I'm sorry it was a little slow but i felt the need to set the scene properly.

Im not sure if i like it or not so let me know how you feel about it :)
