A.N:

Ohk so some of you may have had an email saying I have already posted it… I did but then I woke up next morning completely regretting posting the chapter.

It's terrible a chapter but I couldn't do much changing today and I really wanted to post this weekend, so as it's late Sunday night, I decided I would post it. But I added the beginning chapter six to this chapter to make it a bit better :D

I have changed the ending from the original because as I really didn't like the 'added character'.

He just screwed up everything, just like always… But if you wanted to read the old version, let me know and I'll post it as an outtake or something…

I hope you enjoy it,

[P.S, Off topic but when you want toast, do you cook it or toast it? Hmm… I'm going to go toast myself some toast…Strange… Let me know ;)]

[P.P.S, Lyrics are now going to be on every chapter. This one is The Man That Can't Be Moved – the Script]

Going back to the corner where I first saw you

Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move

Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand

Saying, "if you see this girl can you tell her where I am"

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand

I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man

I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?

How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

Edward POV

"Edward! Hurry up! We're all ready and now we're just waiting for you…" Alice shouted from the bottom of the staircase. I sighed and put down my book which I was actually enjoying until Alice decided she wanted to start being 'little miss punctual'. I heaved myself off of my bed and shrugged on a jacket and some shoes. I walked as slowly as possible from my room and down the stairs, receiving a glare and a tapping of the foot from Alice. "Edward Anthony Cullen, if you don't get down these stairs-"

She stopped mid-sentence after she saw me running for dear life's sake. She never needed to finish those sorts of sentence. I knew well enough from experience that she could think of countless ways to torture me and she wasn't kidding when she threatened me.

"We're taking Emmett's Jeep because you weren't fast enough Edward Cullen." She smiled angelically. She knew that I hated being a passenger in a car, especially Emmett's car. He found it humorous to terrorize the natural wildlife and landscape.

I groaned at Alice and followed her small figure out of the door. I guess I should be pleased, she could have done a lot worse… I shuddered and walked outside to see Emmett already in his jeep, bouncing up and down to a song he had playing. Great, Emmett music… I jumped into the backseat of the jeep and strapped myself in securely, praying I would be able to get to Rosalie and Jaspers house in one piece.

Emmett spun the car around so quick any viewers would have missed it and drove out of the long driveway. I took a deep breath and looked out at the passing scenery.

"I never knew that Rosalie was so into poker…"Alice mused.

Emmett turned down the music a fraction and shook his head still on the lookout for any mud tracks from the rain. "She isn't. She didn't want to have it but I used my charm to persuade her to do it." Emmett grinned so big that he could go out on Halloween without a mask. Alice shuddered and gave a tinkling laugh.

"I don't think you would call that a charm…" She laughed. "But Rosalie was really excited for some reason and kept saying how I would love her so much after tonight."

"Rosalie and Jasper have both gone quite strange by the sound of it…" I contributed for the first time. Alice turned around to look at me.

"What do you mean Edward?"

"Well I went over his house today and he kept freaking out and muttering things about salsa, tampons and grandmas…"

Alice gasped. "Salsa? Is he learning how to dance? But what about the tampons and the grandma…" She sat in thought for a few seconds before letting out another large gasp.

"Jaspers doing salsa with a grandma and he saw her tampons!" She sobbed. "But he knows I can dance! Why didn't he do salsa with me!? And I have tampons! And I have tampons! He can see my tampons if he really wants… I mean, they're nothing exciting…" She sobbed. "That grandma probably has really cool tampons… and maybe he prefers older ladies with cool pre-menopause tampons…" She was now in tears, utterly convinced that Jasper was going to leave her for a Grandma with cool tampons. I couldn't hold it in any longer. I let out a loud laugh, filling the car and overtaking Emmett's music and Alice's crying. Alice turned to me and glared. Her bottom lip quivered and then she let out a vicious snarl. I instantly stopped and held my breath until my every need to laugh had disappeared. That took a while so I sat in silence for a few minutes and stared out at some of the birds that were now traumatized for life.

We finally got to Rosalie and Jaspers house after a quick stop at a petrol station. Alice made a frenzied purchase of every pack of tampons in sight and Emmett had an urge for Doritos and salsa after the discussion of Jaspers dance classes.

Everyone jumped out of the jeep and walked up to the door. Alice knocked on the door impatiently until Jasper opened the door.

"I bought tampons!" Alice grinned. Jaspers face paled and stood frozen. We all walked around him to the table that was set up for Poker.

"Hey Rose." Emmett greeted as he pulled her up into a tight bear hug. "I brought Doritos and salsa." He grinned. He received the same response as Alice had got from Jasper. I smiled that I had guessed right earlier in the car, the Hales had lost it. I sat down at the table and watched as both couples tried to figure out what was going on.

"I bought pink ones and there are these cool twisty ones that are all different colors…" I heard Alice babble to Jasper who was still pale faced at her bag full of tampons.

"I'm sorry… I just thought you liked the Nacho Cheese flavor…"Emmett was explaining. There was something up with Rosalie and Jasper. Well, more Rosalie than Jasper. It was understandable that Jasper didn't exactly want to hear about Alice's personal hygiene, no matter how lovesick he was. There was a loud smash and I turned around to see Rosalie staring at a smashed jar of salsa on the floor.

"Oops" She said in a blank voice, obviously not caring that she may as well have done the same to Emmett's heart. "It slipped…"

Emmett bent down to the jar and covered his mouth with his hand. He looked up at Rosalie. "Rosalie…You know what?" Rosalie looked at him warily. Things didn't sound pretty and anyone who had met Emmett was sure to know that food wasn't something you could joke around about. Everything was dead silent, waiting for Emmett's reaction.

"It's still salvageable"

She gawped at him and everyone was thinking the same thing, 'He did not just say that…'

"Rosalie, I'm going to need a spoon and a bowl, stat. We only have seconds left."

Rosalie's eyes doubled in size as she stared at Emmett.

"Oh come on Emmett! You can't be seriously wanting to save it… it's on the floor!"

"Rosalie, don't joke with me… this is perfectly good salsa sauce!"

"That happens to be on the floor where people's feet have been…"

Emmett gasped. "Rosalie, I'm starting to think you don't care about my salsa that you dropped!"

"Starting to? Emmett seriously… it's salsa… I'm sure that Edward is more than willing to go get you some more salsa…"

Why was I being brought into this?! I hadn't said a word since I got here! Emmett hung his head low and rummaged in his pocket. He pulled out his car keys and threw them to me. I caught them by reflex and stared blankly at them.

"No, no Edward! I can't have you spending money like that…" I smiled; happy I wouldn't have to go out. "Just go to the apartments next door and go to room 3. The girl there is one big fan of salsa! She's sure to have some." Rosalie laughed and battered her lashes at me.

"It's okay; I'll just head out to the shops. I'll get some drinks while I'm there as well."

"No!" Rosalie shouted. I stopped halfway from getting off my chair. "Just go next door! She's my friend and I invited her anyway. Maybe you could persuade her to come?"

I sighed and lifted myself off of the chair completely. I walked over to the door and shot a glance at Jasper. He smiled and shrugged. Great, so now not only do I have to get Salsa from a complete stranger, but I had to try and persuade them to come with me next door… not suspicious at ALL!

I walked in the cold night air, my breath showing in little clouds in front of me. Luckily someone was walking out of the building with a large hoodie on, some hair flowing out of the hood. I quickly grabbed the door before it closed. At least I wouldn't have to wait in the cold while I rung the buzzer, I thought.

As I looked at the doors and their numbers, I suddenly couldn't quite remember what number Rosalie had said. I had a feeling I knew but wasn't sure. I knocked on a door and waited for a reply. The door opened and there stood an elderly lady.

"Yes dear?"

"Oh hi, my friend Rosalie next door was just wondering if you had any salsa." I smiled and tried to look like a sweet young boy again.

"No sorry, my doctor didn't want me to have it as it gives me bad side effects these days. She smiled. I grimaced at the thought. Working at the hospital, you learn code words for things such as side effects and it really wasn't something I would like to discuss.

"That's okay; I'll just drive down to the store. Oh and she wanted to know if you still wanted to come over for poker night." She looked confused for a moment but smiled and took my arm (which I really wasn't offering) and walked with me to the door.

"My name's Briony" She attempted to wink but came out looking as if she was severely tired and her were drooping. I faked a smile and walked her back to Rosalie's house.

I knocked on the door and a few seconds later Rosalie answered the door. She had a bright grin across her face but it faltered when she saw the lady standing next to me.

"Edward? Who's this?" She smiled sweetly but confusion coating her voice.

"Briony… The lady you invited… Isn't it?"

"I said girl… not a lady who had a pet dinosaur you idiot!"

"Young lady! That is no way to speak about your elders! Get some respect!" Briony shouted. She walked around Rosalie and into her house glaring at Rosalie the whole time.

I followed Briony inside and saw Emmett on the ground huddled over where his salsa had spilt. He had a bag of opened Doritos with him and I decided not to put the two pieces of the puzzle together.

Jasper and Alice were talking on one of the sofas happily about something not relevant to personal hygiene to Jaspers pleasure. But Briony stopped as she walked past Jasper.

"You!" Briony bellowed and pointed to Jasper.

Jasper looked up and his face paled again at the sight of her. It looked like he knew her or something. Maybe he's just a terrible neighbour…

"He- hello…"He choked, getting up from his seat and slowly backing behind the sofa.

"Is this her?" Alice shouted, looking light a light bulb had just gone off above her head. "Is this your salsa partner that you're leaving me for?"

"What are you talking about Alice?!" Jasper asked incredulously, still wary of Briony's every move.

"Don't play games with me Jasper Hale! I know who she is!"

"Alice, no, this grandma just found me in the shops with a raunchy magazine and condoms all over the floor!"

"What were you doing reading one of those magazines in the public eye?! We made a deal you would save them for 'Jasper time'!" Alice's voice had just reached a new level in high pitched shouting. Jasper cringed and I heard Emmett snicker about and imitate Alice's voice when she said 'Jasper Time'. I had to admit though; I found it quite funny myself.

"All I wanted was salsa Jasper! Not magazines for horny men and condoms!" Rosalie laughed.

"I didn't mean to! But when I was watching Bella walk through the door, I had to grab a magazine and that was the one my hand seemed to pick up first! And then when I put the salsa in Bella's basket, I walked into a tampon and condom stand and it crashed down!"

Bella… if it weren't such a funny story I would be all glum for the mention of the name. Nobody knew of my obsession besides Alice and that was because she claimed to love her just as much as I did. The truth was that nobody ever knew the deep feeling I had for her. The flame was not as strong and overpowering as it was then. But it was still effecting my everyday actions. I had only dated a few times since Bella, and neither of them actually meant anything to me. My thoughts were shortened when Briony started complaining.

"Young man, you had taken the last copy of Zoo and you had knocked over the stand I needed!" Briony said in a low tone. She turned on her heel and walked straight to the door.

"This generation is a joke!" She spat as she left the house.

It was silent as we heard the door slam shut. Nobody knew what to say so we continued to wait for the moment to cool over.

The first to break the silence was Emmett. Emmett was now in another fit of laughter. He had doubled over and was on the ground, literally in tears.

"The grandma's a pervert!" He managed to say in between gasps for air. "And Jasper…Jasper knocked over the condoms and tampons!" Emmett had started rolling on the ground, clutching his sides. Jasper frowned and curled up on a ball on the sofa. Rosalie was looking worried and drumming her fingers on the kitchen bench. I looked over to Alice who was staring open-mouthed at Jasper.

"And who is this Bella Jasper?" Se asked, placing one hand on her hip.

He looked up and sighed. "Alice, it's not what you think… I was just helping Rosalie out with one of her friends…" Alice turned to Rosalie.

"You're trying to get rid of me for one of your other friends?" Alice gave Rose the unbelievably sad eye treatment, evening breaking my heart.

"No! Alice, I was actually just trying to set her up with someone and I needed Jaspers help!"

Alice slumped down on the sofa next to Jasper. "Being jealous is so tiring…" She yawned. "I'm not sure which way I should be facing when you're like this…"

Jasper nodded and pulled Alice's head into his chest.

"I wouldn't have anyone else Alice, you don't need to worry." He kissed her on the top of her head and she closed her eyes and smiled. I decided to give them some privacy by turning around to face Rosalie and Emmett. Rosalie was taping her foot next to Emmett, who was still on the floor, trying to catch his breath. "Emmett, would it hurt for you to be romantic ever? I'm starting to think that you prefer the ground to me…"

Emmett turned his face up to Rosalie. "How about I show you why I prefer you to the floor tonight?" He winked.

Rosalie sighed and sat down. "Stop trying to sweet talk me Emmett Cullen…"

I shuddered at the thought that that was sweet talk to them. I had never felt more alone in the presence of my four of my favorite people.

As it appeared, we wouldn't be playing poker tonight. I decided to retire to Emmett's jeep, away from the lovers. I grabbed the keys from the sideboard and walked outside. I got inside Emmett's jeep and started to fiddle with the radio until I settled on a song.

You've got this new head filled up with smoke

I've got my veins all tangled close

To the jukebox bars you frequent

The safest place to hide

A long night spent with your most obvious weakness

You start shaking at the thought

You are everything I want

'Cause you are everything I'm not…

I sat in the car, strumming my fingers to the beat of the drums.

I saw the girl that left the apartment door opened walk back into her building. I couldn't help but watch as she took off her hood and type in her code and walk in. There was something about her… the way her long brown hair fell onto her back. As minutes ticked by I decided to look for something to do. I rummaged through Emmett's mess and settled on apiece of paper and a pen. I started to doodle over the page. My eyes weren't focused on my doodling, instead my brain taking me far away from the car. I looked down at the page and noticed what I had been doodling. Instead of doodling, I had been sketching. Sketching the orphanage where I had met the one person who had affected my every waking hour, the girl who had become a regular character in my dreams. I looked at the paper and scrunched it with all of my anger. I threw it out of the car window.

I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel and hastily put the keys in the ignition. I reversed quickly and drove towards the one place I hoped would give me a peace of mind. I didn't care that it was now quite late. I needed a clean slate and the only way I would get that was from closure. If I could just see her and tell her goodbye, maybe it would be enough for me to walk away and to have a normal life. I would be able to move on; I could be in a relationship without comparing the girl to Bella. I would be able to sleep at night without feeling gloomy as hell and I could walk down the streets without being paranoid and insisting to myself that I had just seen her.

I reached the familiar street and it didn't take long with my speed to get to the orphanage. I drove through the trees covering the driveway. I parked the car and jumped out. I wasn't sure what I was going to do or what I was going to say but I had to at least get out and make an attempt at solitude from this girl.

I walked up to the door and knocked impatiently a few times. It took a few minutes and just as I began to walk away and give up, the door opened.

"Edward? Is that you dear?" a familiar voice croaked. I turned around to see Mrs. Ancaster in her dressing gown, looking just the same just a few shades greyer and a few more stress lines.

"Mrs. Ancaster… is Isabella Swan here?" No use beating around the bush.

"Would you like to come in Edward?" She asked quietly and knowingly. I looked at my watch and guessed I had about fifteen minutes to spare.

"Sure." As soon as I had said goodbye to Bella like I should have done eight years ago, I could leave and start my life properly.

Mrs. Ancaster handed me a cup of tea as we pulled up a seat in the kitchen.

"Now, Edward. What brought on this surge of emotion?"

I sighed heavily. "I just wanted to say goodbye to Bella. I didn't and the feeling of guilt is still quite heavy on my shoulders."

She nodded. "You're actually just two days late she just moved out…"

I hung my head and pinched the bridge of my nose. "Do you know where she moved to?"

"I'm sorry Edward, firstly, I'm not allowed to give that information out and secondly, she said she would give me the information once she got settled…"

I pulled at my hair in frustration. How could she just disappear like that? I took a sip of the tea Mrs. Ancaster had made and told her I had to be on my way. She insisted that I stayed and explained the story properly but I really didn't want to go back into the pit of my emotions with her. Especially here, where I first realized that I had the biggest damn crush on her it felt like my heart was going to explode.

I sped my way through the late night traffic, brusquely honking the horn at anybody who dared to get in my way. My trip there hadn't done anything healthy for my sanity… instead of helping me, it shredded me. It hadn't give me a fresh start like I had expected it would, it only made me realize that she had moved on and it was about time I did. It just surfaced even more fucking memories…

I nearly hit a few cars on the way back to Jaspers place. I had to keep swerving and reminding myself to focus on the road. It didn't help at all. I finally got there and they were all on the front steps looking worried.

"Are you okay Edward?" Alice asked in a hushed tone after running up to the car. I nodded and glared the other way. I really wasn't in the mood for family bloody therapy…

Alice took my expression as a signal I wasn't going to say anything on the subject so she got in the car quietly and buckled herself up. Emmett did the same, relieved that I had moved into the back and he was able to drive.

I nodded to Rosalie and Jasper as my signal of farewell and they waved with a small smile each in return. We all drove in silence apart from when Emmett claimed he saw three rabbits and insisted on naming them Flopsy, Peter and Tevin. Apparently Tevin is like Devin but with a 'T'… I don't think he's ever actually been normal…

We got home and I decided to just go to sleep and forget about my day for the few hours I could manage to sleep. But as my head hit the pillow I realized that not even sleep could make it disappear. She was always there, no matter if I was conscious of not.

But I would face her and her beautiful face, my haunting angel.

Bella POV

I woke quite late that morning. I sat up in bed thinking about how today had an amazing feeling about it. I jumped into the shower and got dressed ready for work with a smile across my face. I made myself some toast and for the first time, it I didn't burn it! It really seemed like the start of a great day.

Rosalie was working the same shift as me and kindly offered to take me to work.

I skipped to her house in my happy mood but caught my foot on a rock, tripping me over and landing face.

It was a great day…

As I picked myself up I saw a scrunched piece of paper on the ground. Curiosity taking over, I opened the paper to see a picture of a building that looked strangely familiar. I realized it was Littleton Adoption Centre, the orphanage I had spent eight years of my life at. It was actually a really good drawing of it. It even had the surrounding trees and there was a faint shadow in the window that I guessed was the evil Mrs. Ancaster. I smiled at it and noticed by one of the trees a silhouette of a girl with dark, long hair. The picture started to freak me out about its accuracy and the chances of the paper coming from the other side of town to right by my house. I quickly shoved it in my pocket and continued on my journey to Rosalie's front door.

I knocked on the door and Rosalie opened it quickly. She said goodbye to Jasper and jumped in her car. On the way to the Coffee hose, she was explaining how her parents were coming home from Vancouver in a few days time and the troubles of last nights events, saying that she had a crazy old lady shouting at Jasper about condoms, tampons and magazines. I stifled a laugh and remembered the time in the supermarket. It was probably the same lady as I was sure I had seen her in my building before.

We finally got to the Coffee House and managed to get a great parking space. We got out and I stumbled my way to the front door. I actually managed to walk into the door to my utter embarrassment. The people inside must have got a sight as my face pressed against the doors cold glass.

I walked behind the counter, cheeks still flaming. I made some orders and continued on with my day. Michael, my boss had asked if I could do a late night shift as well as somebody else had called in sick. I agreed quickly, having nothing better to do with my night, but when Rosalie was asked as well, she seemed to be a bit angrier then my initial reaction. Probably because I was the only one without a life…I thought to myself.

As we were working a late shift, Rosalie and I had been offered an extended lunch break so we decided to go to a restaurant close by.

We ate and discussed life, well Rosalie discussed her life while I sat, eating my food thoughtfully. There was still a feel of wonder in the air as I munched down a piece of broccoli.

Once we got back to the Coffee House, it was a bit fuller and we didn't get much time to talk between orders.

Time went quickly and it was soon dark out. I was in the back room cleaning some of the mugs and spoons when the lights went out. I sighed and put down the mug I had been cleaning. I took of the rubber gloves I was wearing and walked into the front of the store. You could barely make out the figures but it was quiet loud all the same.

I could hear Rosalie talking to a few people and a tried to make my way over to her. I walked into every surface and slipped over something I couldn't see on the floor.

"I think it's just broken fuse…" I heard Rosalie sigh.

"Maybe we could go round the back then…"I heard a male's voice chuckle suggestively. I could hear Rosalie laugh and start to say something in a seductive tone. I made a quick decision to turn and walk away. The sooner the lights were back on the better.

If it was a fuse, I knew I would be able to fix it. I had watched an electrician do it a few times and I had picked it up quite quickly. I walked; well, slid on my bum to a small room which I knew held the electrical mains. I opened the door and took a step inside. The door slammed behind me, causing me to jump.

It wasn't a big room, just used for holding mops and brooms and a few boxes. It was dark and I couldn't see anything. My hands fumbled around, trying to feel my way to the electrical mains.

"Ah ha!" I found it and suddenly the door swung open. I couldn't see the person, only seeing a tall figure. I held my breath at the tall, silent figure looming in the doorway.

The door slammed shut behind the figure.

"Shit!" A male voice shouted, obviously scared of the door slamming like I was.

I gave a small cough of recognition, causing the man to scream and jump back, hitting his back against the door. With the door shut, I couldn't even make out the figure anymore. I could only hear our breathing.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you jump; I was just trying to fix the electrics…"

"No, no, it's okay…" I heard him laugh awkwardly. "You probably think I'm a little girl now huh?"

"I wouldn't say little… more like preschooler…"I laughed.

"Gee, thanks. But at least you can't see my face right? I can go unknown as the mysterious high pitched screamer…"

"Well that depends if we get the lights back on…"

"Oh right." Even though I couldn't see, I could make out his teeth as he smiled, perfectly white and the beautiful shade of his eyes, Emerald green.

I was thankful that he wouldn't be able to see my cheeks flush red.

I moved my hand against the wall again to try and find the mains.

"Maybe if we opened the door we could get a bit more light in here…" He suggested.

I heard him try and turn the knob. "Fuck…" I heard him mumble.

"What?"

"It's locked…"

A.N:

Ba Dum Dum…

Cliffhanger!

Mwahaha…

OMG, I just had a blackout… BRB, I have to go check out what happened…

Ohk, So everything is working again, apparently when I set the kettle alight earlier today it set of a fuse or something… yadda yadda yadda…

Talk about coincidence huh?

So anyway, please review and tell me what you want to read about in the next chapter! :D

Ta ta!
