I don't own any recognizable characters!

Thanks again to all my reviewers. They really make my day! Really Really! You excited much to hear Edward's side of Bella's Diary entries? Me Too! But she has to do that pesky growing up thing people do sometimes.

Nov 1, 2019

Halloween is one of my favourite days of the year. At least it used to be. I loved the candy, the little kids in their costumes and the haunted houses. This year the school actually braved putting on a dance. They haven't put on many because of a problem with underage drinking. I was so excited, not for the dancing because that never ends well, but because Lucas asked me. What I didn't know was the surprises in store for me.

"We could go to Peru." Rosalie started. "I always like Peru."

"Too much political nonsense, how about Africa?" Alice always wanted to go to Africa. Political Nonsense. Ha.

Edward thought for a moment. They could go anywhere in the world and be fine themselves but they had to keep Bella's needs in mind. And I'll have to be able to watch her all the time. "There's too much of a language barrier, and besides. Anywhere we'd take her with little sun wouldn't be that suitable for a child."

You can't watch her all the time Edward. Alice knew him to well.

"London. We have that one house just outside London. She will love the country there." Esme suggested.

"It's not the right time of the year for that, and besides, we can't go back for at least a decade. It wasn't that long ago we left." Edward was convinced there was only one place to go.

I was dressed up as Tinkerbelle, a classic right? and Luke decided to be my Peter Pan. We looked so cute together. My costume might have been a little short, but that's what I get for letting Alice dress me. She said all the guys would enjoy it and that it would cheer Edward up. Like I cared.

"Alaska!" Bella screamed from the backseat of the Volvo as they flew down the highway. "Alaska… really?"

"Yes Bella. Alaska." Edward laughed at her exasperation. He knew the weather could be a little extreme sometimes but it would be best for during the school year.

"We will live outside Anchorage for a few years while you're going to school," then we will up and move you again as soon as your settled he internally groaned, "And during the summer we'll live in Northern BC in our cabin."

"ALASKA!!" Bella rolled her eyes and sighed.

Alice decided that her and Jasper would be Vampires. I rolled over laughing when they came down dressed as the "undead". I also found it funny that they never dressed up like that before. They all love irony, it should've been the obvious. Emmett and Rose decided on Neptune and his mermaid queen. I have a feeling that was all Emmett's idea. His wife wearing nothing but seashells in public. Riiiight.

When they reached their house outside Anchorage, Bella's jaw dropped. It was a large glass monstrosity that the stars could be see through the top of. At night all the trees surrounding the house were reflected off the many angles the windows offered.

"Wow." Was all Bella could manage before Alice bounded out of the house.

"What took you so long. I've nearly had enough time to finish Bella's room before you got here," Alice grinned, he was sure she already knew. "You left at the same time as me. Surely you could have beat me here?"

"I might have been here faster if it hadn't been for a certain someone, " He lifted Bella into the air and spun her around, her laughter only encouraging him to spin faster, "hadn't been keeping her eye on the speedometer the whole way."

I didn't see Edward's costume until later that night, or at least I didn't know it was him. Once we got to the dance Lucas went off to get some refreshments. Left to fend for myself, I had many offers to dance. They all take pity on me because I was dating Lucas and their his friends. I said no as to not risk injuring half the male population in school.

"Do you like it?" Alice asked from behind Bella while Edward leaned against the doorway.

The room was painted a sky blue with silver accents everywhere. The back wall, which acted like a mirror this time of night, was all window. Her king size bed frame was all brushed silver as well with all white comforters and a mountain of white and blue pillows. The closet was closed now but Edward suspected it was well stocked.

"Like it…" Bella asked stunned. "I love it." She ran to the bed and threw herself into the mountain of pillows, effectively covering herself from view.

While Alice and Bella busied themselves with a pillow fight on the bed, Edward went to inspect the shelves that lined the wall. A large collection of CD's was there. Most were his that Bella expressed interest in or would express interest in, others he didn't recognize but if Bella liked them then he was sure to as well. He looked around but aside from books, he had yet to look at the titles of, and CD's he didn't see anything.

"What, no TV?"

There was one offer I couldn't refuse. Prince Charming sauntered towards me in his knee, length dark blue petticoat and a gold masque. He bowed in front of me with his hand outstretched. I took it without thinking. It was a slow song and he held me close without speaking. I stumbled once but he didn't let me fall. He put his head in the crook of my neck without actually touching me. Normally I wouldn't have allowed for a stranger to get that close but I felt completely safe. Then I saw a furious Lucas glaring at me over Prince Charming's shoulder.

"Ye of little faith brother." He gaffed at Alice's joke as she dance across the room. On one of the windows was an LCD touch pad. She punched a few buttons while Bella stumbled her way to where Alice was. "Bella say hello."

Bella looked confused for a moment. "He..Hello," she nearly jumped back in surprise when she got an answer.

"Hello Miss Bella, What can I do for you?" asked a very pleasant woman's voice.

"Um…" she asked somewhat fearful, Alice nodded to her encouragingly. "The TV I guess."

Just then the bookcase Edward was leaning on collapsed in on itself into an entertainment room. The walls were lined with movies and some artwork. There was a nice sofa and coffee table framing a large TV.

"That's more like it." Edward sighed from where he landed on the ground.

Bella and Alice were doubled over in laughter.

I quickly thanked him for the dance though it wasn't nearly over and went to Lucas. He was fuming and pacing. He took one last angry look at me and stormed from the gym. I trailed after him into the hallway. The first several feet were brightly lit but past that the halls were dark. I could hear the music pick up. And see the strobe lights through the small windows into the gym and considered turning back. Instead I followed further into the school. How stupid could I have been?

"What's 2+5?"

"7"

"Who wrote One Fish, Two Fish?"

"Dr. Seuss."

"Who are Trix for?"

"Kids."

"What's the capital of Brazil?

"Uhhh…."

"See Edward. 3 out of 4!" said an excited Emmett while holding up the incorrect amount of fingers. "She definitely doesn't have to go to school, She can just play with me all day." He shot Edward his boyish grin.

"She should be getting 4 out of 4." Edward smiled knowing exactly how Emmett felt. He didn't want to let her go anymore then the rest of the family. He picked up her small pink back pack and started heading for the door.

"Brasilia!" She said excitedly having remembered. Edward rolled his eyes and continued his way to the car.

I rounded the corner and collided with Lucas who was muttering as if he hadn't noticed my arrival. Then he lifted his arms and started screaming at me. "You don't know how crazy you're driving me." "All those boys looking at you like you're a piece of meat, you're mine. Why don't they see that." His. Like I'd ever belong to a jerk like that.

"Okay, let's go over it again." Edward asked for the third time that morning.

"Do I have to?" Bella asked. He knew she knew. He just had to take precautions.

She sighed in defeat and examined the generic elementary in front of her. "I'm Isabella Marie Cullen. I came here from Toronto, Ontario. That's in Canada. I was adopted when I was 3. Blah, Blah, Blah."

"That was good. I guess it's time for you to go in now." He felt his own hand tighten on hers, not wanting to let go.

She looked their entwined hands and then back up at him. "That might be easier if you let go."

He put his hands on the lockers either side of my head and continued his ranting "And then you allow HIM to have his hands all over you, you slut." He started to hit the locker on my left leaving large dents in the metal and his fist started to bleed. I was starting to think he was going to hit me when he wound up, and pulled back…

Halfway through the day Edward got a call from the school asking him to come down right away. It didn't take long to find the classroom Bella was in. Her face was red from crying. The moment she caught sight of him she ran from the teacher and into his arms.

"What's wrong, what happened?" He turned a furious eye on the approaching teacher.

He's much to young to be the girls father. She thought. "Are you…" she consulted the piece of paper in front of her, "Dr. Carlisle Cullen?"

"No, I'm his son. Bella's my adoptive sister." I wish any guy I met was as good with kids, look at him, he's a natural and gorgeous to boot. "I will not ask again, What. Happened?" He growled not willing to waste anytime with a smitten school teacher.

"She had a bad dream. Woke up screaming and asking for some guy named Edward." His breath caught in his throat. This wasn't some poor teacher's fault. It was his. I shouldn't have left. He started humming what was now becoming a familiar song, the same one he hummed to her countless times already and left the room with her crying into his shoulder.

And then Alice caught his fist before it made contact. I saw Jasper standing at the end of the hall. He didn't come any closer because of the blood. Alice threw Luke into the wall opposite us which knocked him unconscious. Then came the tears. My tears.

"I don't wanna go back, don't make me, please?" Bella had been pleading since they left.

"You won't have to go back today." Edward tried to stress the today but he wasn't sure he wanted her to go back either.

"Ever. I don't want to go back ever." she said stubbornly.

"You will. You need friends your own age and going to school is a good way to make friends." Reason. She could see reason.

"Why?"

He groaned out loud. "Because."

Alice rocked me back and forth for a while my fear started to drain and then my sense of loss appeared. She got me home and I went to my bedroom immediately. After what felt like hours of crying there was a knock on the door. I knew who it was. I spoke as clearly as possible "If you have come to say I told you so, I don't want to hear it!" I hate when he's right. The door cracked open enough for him to slide through, in his Prince Charming costume.

That night Bella was sulking in the living room. Everyone had asked her countless times what was wrong but she just shot glare at Edward and said "Nothing."

Wouldn't want to be you Bro.

"Bella, would you come here please. I have something I want to show you." He asked from the doorway into the music room. He sat down on the piano bench waiting for her to come into the room. He was about to give up hope that she was going to come in of her own accord when she popped her head around the corner.

She put effort into her pout and took a seat beside him, refusing to make eye contact. He started playing some random keys while talking.

"You know why I love music?" he asked. "All of us as vampires can hear every perfect note,but we can also hear the flaws. The flaws is why I listen to the music because just like features on the face it makes it that much more beautiful." He lifted his fingers from the keys and felt her eyes on him. It's a start. "This piece," He said looking down taking his chance on getting lost in the small brown orbs, "I wrote for you, and right now has plenty flaws." He grinned.

And with that he started to play. It wasn't a masterpiece but it was hers. She was staring at his fingers stroking each key in an intricate pattern. He was staring at her reactions. Each smile, each heart beat, and each intake of breath; together in his ears was a symphony.

"Beautiful." She yawned and curled up on the bench so he could continue playing.

He looked like he was holding back his anger. I heard Alice call "Be nice." from the hallway. He sat down on my bed across from me and just stared. We sat in silence staring at each other, then I started crying again. He moved closer to me on the bed and kissed both of my cheeks as if to kiss my tears away and then kissed the top of my head and pushed my hair back. I lied down pulling him with me and he held me while I cried. All was forgiven and I fell asleep in my ridiculous costume while he hummed in my ear and held me. Before I fell asleep the last thing I heard was "Sweet Dreams." The first time in 3 weeks.-Bella

If you have any other locales good for growing up Bella and vamps I am more then open to a few suggestions. Alaska is way to overdone but it fits so I did it anyway.

PLEASE REVIEW! I will write faster. Promise!
