Okayy, so now that I have nothing but time on my hands this morning. I'm giving you guys and update. I'll try to make it as long as I can. I'm leaving for Florida at like noon, and it's a four hour drive. Gives me about four hours to blow you away. Love always. (Sorry for the rant)

I own nuffing twilight.

Chapter Four

My hand shook as I dialed Jacobs's number. He was the one who told me to stay away from anything with the name Cullen and here I am sitting in the worst position you can possibly put me in. Part of me was screaming run as far as I could away from this house, and the other part of me wanted to march myself downstairs and have a good time. Too bad I gave in to the less mature part of my conscious.

Jacob answered on the second ring. I knew he was pissed, no wait, livid. School got out at 2:00 and here I was sitting in a bathing suit on Mike Newton's bed, thinking of a lie to tell Jacob.

"Bella, What the hell! Where the hell are you? I've been sitting here for forty minutes trying to get a hold of you." I could hear the anger in his voice, but I also could hear the worry, and the relief that was also displayed.

"Jacob, I'm fine. I promise. I got carried away after school. My friend Jessica is giving me a ride home. We're actually at her house right now doing homework." I knew I was lying, but I couldn't risk him clearly knowing where I am.

The phone went silent for a few moments. I could hear his heavy breathing, but that was it. My palms shook so violently that I was almost he could hear it.

"Alright Bells, I'll see you when you get home."

I threw my phone across the queen sized bed and laid back. My body sunk into the dark green feather comforter. I was in no position to move. I wasn't so sure what was up with Jacob. I never hear him so frustrated and so quiet. Over summer he was so care free and an extremely good friend. Now, it was like he was going out of his way to protect me. It wasn't fair. I'm neither his daughter nor his sister.

The longer I sat the more frustrated I got in my own thought. I covered myself with the towel Jessica left in the room for me and headed down stairs to the pool area. I noticed the size of the guest have now increased, assuming the time it was, and the time it took to get here. The after school party house I thought to myself. There were a lot more guys, and a minimal amount of girls. I felt my stomach turn and flip. The self confidence I had completely dropped when I saw Jessica and Angela surrounded by, what I am guessing, the hottest guys in school. I felt the urge to run, to climb up the stairs, and hide under Mike's bed or in the bathroom till further notice.

As I went to turn around I felt a chilling arm wrap around my waist. I jumped nearly screaming when I saw his hand being gently placed over my mouth.

"Shh, Isabella," I knew that voice; I'd know it from anywhere. "You're a jumpy little thing aren't you?"

"What are you doing?" I was furious. It might be his house, but he had no right to put his hands on me. I pushed away from him, and he held me closer and tighter to his chest.

"Well, you snuck up on me. I'm just returning the favor." He smiled his crooked smile and my heart nearly melted. I was taken back by my captor's smile that I forgot I was pissed.

"Well, I didn't scare you!" I retorted, glaring at him while he laughed at me.

"I want you to meet my brothers and sisters, come." He backed away from me holding out his hand as a plea for me to take it. I strutted past him, leaving him behind. My confidence sky rocketed. I got to the sliding glass double doors and turned around to see he was in the same spot I left him just staring at me.

"Well are you coming?" He put his hand down and walked towards me. In one swift movement he opened the doors with one forceful push. The glass wall that separated the outside from the in was now non-existing. The living area now flowed in with the outside kitchen and the infinity pool. This was the type of house girls would have in California, overlooking the blue Pacific Ocean on a nice warm day. This house might have belonged on the beach, but not in Forks, Washington. The sky was grey not letting any sunshine through, and the air was cooler than I was used to due to the fact we were on the ocean.

I was looking around, taking in the scenery when Edward grabbed my wrist and dragged me over to the group of people surrounding Jessica, and Angela. I could see that two more girls have joined in on the fun. A blond who towered over even the tallest guy and a short pixie-like brunette who cradled herself under the arm of another.

"You could have asked you know? You didn't have to grab me." I said trying to get Edward to loosen his tight grip on my wrist.

He simply smiled and toted me over to the middle of the group

"Bella," He said letting go of my hand "This is Rosalie, and Alice. Alice is my blood sister by fault," he smiled, winking at her clearly irritated face. "And Rose, I guess you can say she is adopted." He backed away, getting out of her reach.

"It's nice to meet you Bella!" Alice practically ran towards me and threw herself into my arms. "We're going to be best friends."

"I can tell." I pulled away from her, but like her brother, she wouldn't let go of my hand.

"This is Jasper, The love of my life!" she explained overly excited. "Oh, and he's Rosalie's twin brother." She added quickly.

"It's nice to meet you Isabella." Jasper smiled, but kept his distance.

"And this is Emmett, The hunk that Rosalie is hooking up with." She punched him in the arm "He also is blood related to myself and Edward. Stupid older brothers." She said shaking her head.

"I wouldn't know. I don't have any siblings." I paused. "It's really nice to meet all of you."

Edward laughed at something as Emmett looked at him. Almost as if they were having a silent conversation. I noticed the disappearance of Angela, Erik, Mike, and Jessica. "Where is everybody else?" I turned to Edward and asked.

Instead of his response I heard a booming laugh belonging to Emmett. "Are you serious?" he was still laughing getting the kick I didn't out of my own question. He didn't wait for my answer. "Bella, How old are you?"

"I'm only fifteen, I turn sixteen September the 19th."

"Well, I guess that would explain it, but it still doesn't explain it." I couldn't understand if he was mocking me or just thinking out loud. I kept myself quiet. "Let's make this as simple as possible." I saw Edward tighten out of the corner of my eye. "Bella, when mommies, and daddies disappear, what are they most likely doing?"

I finally caught on to his question. I could feel my face turning bright red as my hand flung over my mouth. He was really taking about sex, and I was appalled. I have never been to a house where people just randomly go upstairs and hooked up. Edwards's family started laughing at either how long it took me to catch on, or how embarrassed I was that I didn't catch on soon enough.

I walked over to the lounge chairs and plopped into them.

"Bella, it really isn't that bad." Alice took the seat next to me. "They were just laughing at how you reaction looked. I have never in my life seen someone so red in my life." She said nearly falling out of her seat laughing. It got a smile out of me also. Alice was care free. She had no worries. She was beautiful, even though the humidity was high her hair stayed perfectly flipped out. She only wore eye makeup that made her gold eyes pop. That was the only thing that they all had in common, their eyes. Each of them a shade of gold, some darker, some lighter. I guess it was a rare family trait. "Wanna go for a dip?" she asked smiling at me.

"No, I'm already cold enough, I shou-"just before finishing my sentence about heading home for dinner, I was picked up and flung in the air towards the water, Alice and Emmett laughing hysterically. I felt the warm rush of the pool hitting my body, and the ripples of people jumping in after me. I resurfaced to see Emmett smiling at me, and his sister giving me an approving look before looking at Edward.

"Now what was that Bella?" Edward smiled swimming towards me. "You were about to say something before I gave my lovely brother the go ahead to toss you in the water"

I glared at him, trying not to laugh. "I was saying that I needed to get home for dinner. My dad is due home anytime now."

"Oh well, one of us will drive you home." he said passing me and swimming towards the pool stairs.

"Well, my stuff is in Mike's room. I need to get it." I was hesitant on one of them taking me home. I knew Jake was waiting for me. I didn't need to cause more trouble than it wasn't worth. Maybe I could go up stairs and convince Mike, or Jess to take me home.

"Bella, I have plenty of clothes here that you can change into. Plus I don't think Mike, and Jess would like being disturbed right now. They are normally up till early morning, locked in their room." Alice said getting out of the pool after Edward. "I'll bring you all your stuff tomorrow, we have fifth, and seventh period together. I'll meet you by Edwards's car in the morning."

I reluctantly got out the pool to face the miserably cold weather. Edward held up my towel as I walked over to him. I turned around, while he wrapped me in it. "You're beautiful Bella." He whispered low enough for me to hear. I automatically felt the butterflies fill my stomach. I have never had someone call me beautiful before in my life, other than my parents. But I figured that was their job.

I turned around and smiled. "Thank you. I never hear that."

He took my face in his hand gently. "Well maybe you should." He placed his lips on the top of my head. My body felt like it was giving out. My knees were shaking, and my mind was racing. The most gorgeous guy called me beautiful, and I had every intention on savoring this moment. "We should get you home though, you're starting to shake. Alice is in the upstairs bathroom waiting for you with a change of clothes."

I walked into the house with the towel wrapped around me. I felt overwhelmed with emotions that I couldn't even scale the stairs gracefully. I tripped on the fourth step and apparently it didn't go unnoticed as I saw Edward staring at me laughing as he closed off the remaining glass walls. I literally crawled up the stairs so I could escape his intoxicating gaze.

Like he said, Alice was waiting me outside of the bathroom door.

"You better get in here Bella before they start again. Angela could be kinda loud." I ran inside the bathroom as she locked the door behind us. "Alright, Get in the shower; I'll be in Edwards's room when you're done. My shampoo is in the green bottles. It's organic and really heavy, so go light." She instructed.

"Thanks" I said faintly as she closed the door behind her.

I turned the shower dial to hot and let the bathroom steam out. My body needed the heat, my mussels needed to relax. I got in the shower and let the scorching water hit my toes lightly before turning the dial to a lower heat. The water touched my cool skin leaving a stinging sensation behind. I picked up the full bottle of Alice's shampoo. It was full, never been used. I rubbed it into my scalp and the smell of strawberries and kiwis took over the room. I must have been in heaven. I did the same with the conditioner and stepped out of the shower onto the rug. The steamed mirror hid my naked body perfectly as I reached for the towel left on the sink.

I got a sly smirk on my face and went up to the mirror. I took my finger to the reflective glass and wrote in big bold letters, I.M.S, and managed a half-assed heart underneath it to the right side. I walked out to Edwards's room where Alice was waiting for me on his modern lounge chair.

"Since Emmett got to through you in the pool, I get to have my fun with you now." She had a huge leather case in hand and a curling iron in the other.

"Honestly, I don't have time for this I really got to get home Alice."

"It'll be quick I promise. Get Dressed I'll turn around."

Alice did as she said and I got dressed in the outfit she picked out for me, a dark pair of denim skinny jeans and a royal blue long sleeved top that exposed my hips. A tan cropped jacket that came to my mid waist.

"You look great," she reassured me. "Now let's get to work."

About fifteen minutes later Alice had my hair in an up do with strands hanging out on all sides of my scalp, and my bangs loosely pinned back. She had eyeliner on the top of my eyelids and took the tweezers to my eye brows. She completed her make over with some blush and mascara.

"Alright, well you good to go." She said as she sprayed my hair in place with hair spray. "Thank you for letting me do this to you. Rose never lets me, and Esme would rather die than have me do her makeup and hair for her. They are pretty experienced themselves. Rose practically taught me everything I know."

I turned around and caught my reflection in the mirror by the closet. I never knew that I would ever look this good in fifteen minutes. Instead on looking fifteen I looked like an adult going on to college or something. I hugged Alice with all the enthusiasm I could. "I'm glad they taught you. You're gonna have to teach me your tricks some day. I look great."

She hugged me back. "You're welcome, but we really have to get you home. Rose and I will take you. We have to head back to the main house anyways to eat dinner with the parents."

I threw on the jacket Alice was holding up for me, and we headed downstairs talking and smiling the whole time. He was standing at the bottom of the stairs along with Jasper and Emmett.

"Edward," I said coolly, "Thank You for letting me come over. I had a lot of fun. "

"You're welcome. You know where I live now, so I expect you to be here as much as possible." He said openly inviting me into his house and his arms. He hugged me and let me go. Alice and I walked out the door with Rose already in the car waiting for us.

I got in the backseat as Alice took the front. And thought to myself Today has been the worst best firs today of school ever. I sunk back into the red BMW's seat as Rosalie took off out of Edwards's neighborhood.

I didn't want to think of Jake as we drove closer to my house. I but I did wonder.

Did he really know ALL the Cullens?
