Chapter 4
Alice POV
You can't tell me who do be friends with Edward!" Honestly Edward can be so melodramatic sometimes. We were standing out in the parking lot fighting over Bella.
"She's not like us Alice we can't be friends with her." Edward tries arguing with me.
"I've already seen it Edward a million different ways. Bella belongs with us you can fight it all you want but she will be a part of this family. You scared her today Edward and I won't have it. You better go hunting and come back with a better dissipation. She thought you hated her." I told him under my breath as I waited for Bella to come out. I wasn't lying when I told Bella we would be best friends as I saw it in one of my visions.
"I'm sorry that I scared her. She entices me unlike anyone I've ever come across before. I'm going to Alaska for a few days see if I can get my head on straight but I still don't think you should be hanging out with a her. It's dangerous for her and for us. So many different things could go wrong."
"That's your opinion Edward. I'll do what I think is best. Here comes Rosalie I need to tell her about our shopping trip."
Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett walked out to Rosalie's convertible and Emmett's hummer.
"Why so tense little brother." Emmett ask as he comes to stand between me and Edward
"Alice is making friends with the new kid." Edward states in accusing tone like I was planning her murder.
"He needs to go hunt that's his problem." I tell the others as I lean up against Rosalie's car.
"Does Carlisle know that your planning to become bosom buddies with Bella?" Edward ask as he kicks his foot against the concrete.
"I'll tell him tonight but I don't see him having a problem with it. Rosalie were going shopping with her today for her bedroom. First were going to her house to see her room and then were going into town to see if we can find some stuff. Jasper I've already promised that you would help her restore her rocking chair but boys we might need all your help in fixing up her room."
"Sure we'll help out." Emmett says as he unlocks his hummer.
"I agree with Edward. Bella doesn't belong in our world." Rosalie says as she gets in the convertible.
"So your not going shopping with us?" I whine. This could ruin all my planning. "I promised her that I would have a ride. Emmett can Jasper borrow your car and you go home with Rosalie?"
"That shouldn't be a problem." Emmett says as he hands Jasper his keys and gets into the passenger side of Rosalie's car.
Just as Edward starts to open his mouth to argue with me some more Bella walks out of the school. He quickly closes his mouth and tries to reign in his emotions.

Bella's POV
I quickly exited the school happy for today to be over with. I was so proud of myself I made it though out the whole day without getting hurt! Alice and her siblings were hanging out at their cars so I made my way over to see if our plans were still on.
" Hi, I'm Bella Swan. Alice and I made some plans during gym to go shopping. Are you still able to make it Alice?"
"I can go but Rosalie already had plans so Jasper has agreed to drive us around town. Did you get your dad's permission to go with us?" Alice asks me as Rosalie sighs in the driver's seat of her car.
"Oh, that's too bad I was looking forward to spending time with you Rosalie. Alice says your a great shopping partner we'll have to make plans to go into Port Angeles together." I politely tell Rosalie knowing well never shop together. "I'm about to call Charlie right now I just wanted to verify our plans before I called him up." I told Alice as I took my cellphone out of my coat. I hit speed dial and waited for him to pick up both Charlie and Renee were a little behind regarding technology; Charlie always had to search for the talk button.
"Bella is that you?"
"Yeah Dad it's me my name wouldn't come up on the screen if it was someone else. Anyway I'm just calling to make sure it's okay if I went shopping in town with Alice Cullen and her boyfriend Jasper Hale would be driving?"
"The Cullen kids want to hang out with you?" Charlie asked in disbelieve
"Yeah Dad me." I said offended. Jee what was I chop liver.
"Bella that's great. The Cullen kids are great kids and they haven't made any friends here yet. "
"Oh, well were stopping by the house first Alice wants to get an idea of what I'll need for the room."
"That's fine be home before eight o'clock it's a school night." Charlie tells me in his in Chief voice so I know there is no arguing with him.
"Sure thing Chief eight o'clock right on the dot not a second later." I laugh as I disconnect the phone call. "Is anyone else coming Alice?"
"Edward are you feeling up to coming?" Alice ask her brother who is leaning up against the Hummer.
"I'm still not feeling well. Maybe next time. I'll grab a ride home from Rosalie and Emmett." Edward says as he pushes himself off the hummer his muscles ripple though out his T-shirt and again his beauty almost paralyzes me. I mentally shake myself as Alice and I get into the Hummer. I sit in the backseat and direct Jasper to my house.
It takes us less than ten minutes to get to my house from the school. Alice is out the passenger door before Jasper finishes turning the ignition off.
"You should catch up with Alice before she decides that your whole house needs to be redecorated." Jasper laughs as I make my way up the front steps.
"Do you guys want anything to eat?" I ask as I unlock the front door and head into the kitchen.
"I'm still full from lunch how about you Jasper?" Alice ask as I get out a bottled water from the pantry and grab an apple and banana from the fruit bowl on the kitchen table.
"I'm not hungry but thank you for asking Bella." Jasper softly responds as he wraps an arm around Alice's shoulder.
"Okay well lets head on up and you can see what we have to work with." I quickly head up the stairs.
"Here it is and I want to fix up the bathroom too." I say as I open the bedroom door. "Charlie and I share the bathroom so it can't be too girly.
"Oh Bella your right this room defiantly needs a makeover. Do you have any idea were you would like to start?
"I always find it easier to decorate a bedroom once have found a comforter you like. My budget for the bedroom and bathroom is five hundred dollars so it might take a while to find everything we need."
"Oh a challenge this is going to be so much fun." Alice says as she jumps up and down. "Do you have an idea of what you want to do?
" I was thinking of putting the bed up against the wall here opposite of the wall with the closet. I want to do some type of head board since I'm keeping the existing bed. I need a side table as well. I want to put a bookcase across from the bed next to the window. I'll need a desk to be able to do homework maybe put it by the closet. We can put a rug underneath the bed and desk. Also maybe a chest for the bottom of my bed to keep extra comforters in." I say as a put my back pack on the bed.
"That sounds good. What do you want to do for the bathroom?"
"Let me talk to my dad about the bathroom first. I don't want to make any changes he's not ready for yet. He can be a little stuck in his ways sometimes."
"Well, then let's go shop." Alice squeals as we head down the stairs.
We had already hit five stores in the brief hour that we had been in town. Alice was like a tornado hitting each store and leaving a trail of dazed and confused victims. I hadn't found anything that made me want to part with my money yet and I was beginning to get frustrated.
"Alice I don't think were going to find anything in town we'll have to go to Port Angeles."
"We have two more stores left Bella they could have something but your right well have to go to Port Angeles. Can you go this weekend?"
"Maybe if I get all my homework done."
"Maybe we can have a study party at my house this weekend and if we have time make a trip into Port Angeles?"
"Sure, I'll ask Charlie about it tonight. Okay let's see if Wilson's Antiques has what we need." I sigh. We look around for about ten minutes until Jasper calls Alice over to the corner of the store he had wandered over to.
"Alice here's some office furniture that might work in Bella's room." Jasper says as we get closer.
As I got closer I start to get excited at what I'm seeing. It was a matching dark cherry desk and chair set. The desk was very simple with drawers on both sides of the desk. It had to be from the 1930s' or 1940s'.
"It's a great set isn't it?" I looked up and was meet with a worker from the store. "Were only asking for fifty dollars." The clerk said as I tried out all the drawer's to make sure they worked.
"For both the desk and chair?" I ask
"Yup. The dealer dropped the price last week as they just got new stuff in and want's to be able to get the set sold.
"Do you deliver?" Alice ask as I continued to investigate the desk and chair.
"Sure but we charge ten dollars. I can get this delivered tomorrow afternoon."
"We don't get out school until four o'clock." Alice says as I sit in the chair to make sure it will hold my weight.
" I can have it delivered between 4:30 and 5:30." The worker says.
"What do you think Bella?" Alice asks with a smile knowing already what I'd say.
"It was love at first sight Alice." I laugh as I get out of the chair and head up to the counter to make my purchase.
We leave Wilson's Antiques and head over to Charm City to see if we can find anything else for my room. Ten minutes in the store and I know my luck for the day as run out.
Jasper brings the Hummer to the front of the store so Alice and I wouldn't have to walk back to the car in the rain. The ride back to the house was filled with Alice telling me not to be discouraged we'd have my room decorated in no time. Jasper held Alice's hand the entire ride back home and I couldn't help but feel a tug in my heart.
"We should be heading home know to work on homework but this was fun." Alice said as we pulled into my drive way.
"It was I'm glad you made me continue shopping Alice. I love my new desk and chair. You guys be careful the rain isn't lighting up." I tell them as I get out of the car.
________________________________________________________________
Edward's POV
I can't explain how I'm feeling right now. All I know is that I have to reign myself in and I can't let myself get comfortable around Bella. Once I let my guard down it could be disastrous. My only real hope is for Carlisle to stop this insanity. Our kind did not hang out with Bella's kind it only ever ended in tragedy.
"I wish you two would give Bella a chance. I mean if Alice says she's going to be family don't you think we should be more welcoming to her?" Emmett complains as Rosalie speeds down the street.
"Emmett unless you want to be sleeping outside tonight I would shut up." Rosalie threatens. There about to start fighting and then after the fighting they'll be making up.
I didn't want to have to endure their insanity so I jumped out of the moving convertible and ran into the woods. I continued to run until I made it into Canada and ran across two deer. I quickly took the deer down and continued on as I was not satisfied yet. I continued on thru the night until I ran across a grizzly bear it took less than a minute for me to finish him off. I walked and ran for another five hours before I decided to sit at a Lake I came across and think thru this mess.
I found Bella to be intriguing. She was unlike any one else I had ever meet before. I could read people easily but Bella was unreadable. She fascinated me and it frightened me. Today I'd felt more alive than I had in years. It would be selfish of me to intrude on her life it would be asking too much of her. Alice was refusing to give up on the idea of Bella though. Maybe if I kept a close eye on Bella I could keep her safe from what Alice had seen. Who was I kidding? Bella's fate had been sealed the moment I stepped into the cafeteria and our eyes locked. I would do my best to keep her safe. I would not let her be cursed as I and my family had been.
My decision had been made so I continued to hunt as I made my way home. I took down two mountain lions and another deer before I reached my home. I could here shouting from inside so I hurried in to see if what was going on.
________________________________________________________________
Rosalie's POV
I knew we were selfish creatures but how could they even think about risking an innocent girl's life just because they wanted a friend.
"Carlisle this is not how we do things. People are only brought into this family when they have no other choice." I nearly shout as I try to keep my anger in check.
"Rosalie from what Alice is saying Bella needs our friendship for her own safety. We will not bring her into this family unless we have no other option but I see no harm in being friends with the girl."
"She's fragile their are many ways harm could fall upon her." I say as I walk back and forth behind the couch. Just as I'm about to continue arguing Edward walks into the door he'd been gone a little over twenty-seven hours. "Edward your on my side see if you can get our family to understand that Bella can't be friends with us."
I can see Edward hesitate as he closes the back door and slowly walks into the living room. He looks down and rubs the back of his head. Oh great he's changed his mind.
"Well, I did some thinking while I was hunting and the truth is I don't see how we can keep Bella out of our lives. We go to school with her; both Alice and I have classes with her. I mean she's my lab parter we'll probably have projects we have to do together. I think it would be okay for her to be our friend we just have to keep our guard up she can't suspect anything."
"Traitor." I say as I walk up the stairs the fight is over. My family has made up their minds I just hope once Bella discovers the truth about our family she runs screaming out the front door.
________________________________________________________________
Edward's POV
As Rosalie slams her bedroom door shut the rest of the family disperses. I walk over to Carlisle who is reading a medical journal.
"Carlisle can we talk in private?"
"Sure Edward let's go take a walk." Carlisle says as he puts away his medical journal.
We walk about five miles before Carlisle ask what I wanted to talk about.
"It's about Bella. Carlisle I don't know how to describe the way I feel when I'm around her or even when I think about her. It's like she's put a spell on me. Do you believe in love at first sight?"
"You love her?"
"I think so. I've never felt this way before."
"Edward I'm not going to tell you who you can and can't love. They only thing I ask of you is to be careful. I don't want Bella or you to get hurt."
"I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure Bella stays safe."
Carlisle made his way back into the house as I continued walking in the woods surrounding our home. All I could think about was Bella her beautiful pale skin, her curly mahogany hair that reached her shoulder blades. Her deep brown hypnotic eyes. She smelled of strawberries and freesia. Her deep russet colored lips begged to be kiss. I wondered if they tasted the way she smelled? I shook the thought from my head decided to go finish my homework.

Bella's POV
Edward was out sick yesterday I wondered if he would be in school today. I felt like a stalker nearly every thought was consumed with Edward Cullen. I loathed this type of behavior, I was turning into a boy crazed idiot. I knew he wasn't coming to school yesterday but part of me still hoped he would be sitting in the cafeteria with his siblings.
I had come to terms with what Alice said of Edward being out school the rest of the week so imagine my shock when I walked into the lunch room and saw Edward sitting next to Jasper laughing at some joke Emmett had told. I shook off my shock and continued to my lunch table. Mike had saved me a chair next to him and Angela.
"Hey Mike and Angela how are you guys doing?"
"Okay how about you? Do you need any help catching up in your studies?" Angela asked as she ate the homemade lunch her mom sent with her.
"I know the material I just need to finish up a couple of essay's for English and knock out some of the math homework. I should be fine after this weekend."
"So your not going to the party I was talking to you about Monday?" Mike asked as he looked down at the piece of cardboard the school was trying to pass off as pizza.
"Oh I'm sorry Mike maybe next time though." I tell him as I eat the salad and soup I got from the cafeteria.
Jessica and Angela talked to me for most of lunch but I couldn't help glancing over at the Cullen's every opportunity I got. The lunch bell rang so I quickly grabbed my books and put my tray away.
I made it to class before anyone else did. Mrs. Sparrow was sitting at her desk getting some notes together as I entered the classroom and made my way to my assigned seat. Edward was the next student to enter the classroom and he smiled as he caught me looking at him. I almost fell off the chair.
"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen I didn't get a chance to properly introduce myself the other day."
"Bella Swan." I told him as I got my notebook and Biology book out.
"Well, on behalf of my family let me congratulate on surviving your first shopping trip with Alice. She has a problem but refuses counseling."
"Jasper looked out for me." I laughed as Mrs. Sparrow got up to take roll call.
"That's good. Try to always take one of us with you when you go shopping with Alice other's wise I think you'll need a week to recover."
"She's intense isn't she? We went to seven stores under two hours Monday. "
"Did you find anything for you room?"
"Yes, a beautiful dark cherry desk set."
"That's great are you guys going shopping this weekend?"
"Alice invited me to spend the weekend at your house studying. Once the homework is all done we plan to go to Port Angeles. Would you like to come with us?"
"That sound's like fun." Edward says as Mrs. Sparrow calls the class into order.
Mrs. Sparrow continues her lecture from Monday but I can't help but day dream about this weekend. Edward had a melodic voice that was soothing and enchanting. His eyes were now a deep Carmel color like his siblings but they were unique all in the same. Maybe they were contacts. I'll have to ask Alice.
I thought moving to Forks was going to be the end of my life how wrong I had been. I could feel it deep down in my heart meeting the Cullen's was going to change my life forever.

AN: Next Chapter well be Edward, Bella, Alice, and Jasper shopping. If you have any ideas for Bella's room please let me know. I have a general idea of what I want the room to look like just haven't found all my inspirations yet. As always let me know if you see any spelling or grammar mistakes and I'll fix them.
Thanks,
