VERY IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ!!!! - Dear reader, I am soooo sorry that I haven't updated but my friends house burnt down last week and she only has the nightgown that she ran out of the house with. I have been trying to help her all week, and I just haven't had any time to write. I know none of you know her, but I would really appreciate it if you would pray for her. I love her to death and she is going through a really time. Also, we are starting our term paper this week so I will try to update more, but my high school is stupid and gives us a lot of crap to do every night.

BPOV

After my little show, it began to rain. So, we did the only sensible thing that 7 vampires and a fairy can do in the rain. We played in the rain. After a while, I went into the forest to feel the rain on my skin. I don't know why, but ever since I was a little girl, my favorite thing to do was to sit in the rain and let it cascade down my back. I could feel, smell, hear, touch, and taste nature around me, and I felt at home. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I flinched when Edward came behind me and placed his hand on my shoulder. "Bella, love. Are you okay?" he asked me, his voice laced with concern and love. "I'm fine. It's just, when I sit in the rain, I feel like I'm in Versay. It reminds me of home, though I have no idea why." I looked up at him, smiling slightly, but gave him a confused look when I saw him look anguished. "Edward, what's wrong?" He chuckled sadly. "Bella, I hate to see you cry. It breaks my heart." I reached up to my face and felt hot drops of water, very much unlike the cool droplets of rain. I laughed softly. "I guess I am crying. But it's not because I want to go home. I'm sad because sure, I miss my family, but this is the first time in over twenty years that I really feel like I have a home." He picked me up and placed me on his lap facing him. "Bella, you have no idea how much I love you." He softly kissed me, but quickly obliged to my more urgent kissing. "I think I have an idea," I said, laughing into his lips.

After our moment of solitude, we decided it was time to head back to the house to see everyone. When I walked in, everybody started congratulating me, thanking me, and just plain old hugging me. I laughed when Emmet gave me a bear hug strong enough to kill a human and when he thanked me for letting him "fly".

The next couple weeks passed in a blur. I found myself enjoying life immensely. One day though, the Friday before the Super Bowl, to be precise, I almost killed the bimbo's (Jessica and Lauren)…

I was walking down the hall to one of my only classes without Edward, when Jessica and Lauren came out of their classroom and started walking next to me. The started pointing and giggling at me, though I have no idea why. Maybe they were just jealous of my wicked awesome Abbey Dawn sweatshirt, blue, purple and black streaks in my hair, and my black cargo pants. Whateva's. I don't really give a flying rat's butt. Fortunately, I arrived at my class, but unfortunately, they were in that class. I decided to be late, so I ran to the nearest drinking fountain right as the bell rang. Yay! I love making the teacher's ticked at me.

Walking into class five minutes late, I looked at Mr. Varner and said, "Mr. Varner, I'm late!" He looked at me with a glare that was amateur, and said, "Ms. Swan. This is the tenth time you've been late to my class. What have you got to say for yourself?" I smiled mischievously. "Well, ya see Mr. V. I just really hate your subject, and if I don't like it and I probably won't pay attention, I might as well be late doing other important stuff than wasting my time in here." Now, most people find that disrespectful, which it is. But me and the teachers had sort of an understanding. I really don't want to be here, and neither do you. So as long as I actually come to class once in a while, and you don't give me any crap lecture for being late, I will take my detention's without a complaint. Hey, I might be a fairy with a family that loves me, but that doesn't mean that I'm a perfect student. I do spend time with Emmet ya know. Mr. Varner let out a huge sigh. "Ms. Swan, detention, usual time." What day was it, OH YEAH!! It's Friday! Mr. V. is the detention monitor. "See ya then Mr. V." He just waved me off to my seat, probably wondering how a girl like me could be so odd when I hang out with star pupils like the Cullen's. Like I said though, I live with Emmet. Oh yah! I just remembered! Jasper, Edward, and Emmet are helping me move my stuff into their house, well, actually, Edward's room. I remember that conversation well…

"Love," I heard Edward say my name softly, and I turned around into his embrace to look at him. "Ya Edward?" I kept getting lost in his topaz eyes…NO! Bad Bella. Focus! "Well, I've noticed that you've been spending every minute except when you sleep here at our house. Me and Esme were wondering if you'd like to move in with us?" "OH MY GOSH!!! YES!!!" I jumped out of his arms, only to come into them again, this time face forward. I smothered him with kisses until he finally pulled back and said, while still chuckling, "I take that as a yes, then?" I playfully glared at him, and kissed him again. I was RUDELY broken out of my reverie by a bear and Jasper attacking me. "YAY!" the said in unison, "Belllsy's living with us!"

While I was reminiscing about my awesome family, class had been going on, and when I "awoke", the bell rang. I was gathering my stuff when bimbo one and bimbo two walked up. "We are soo sorry Bella. We heard something about Edward, and we felt that it was our duty to tell you," Lauren sneered, in her whiny, nasally voice. I waited, but they just looked at me with stupid looks on their faces. "Are ya'll gonna talk, cause I gotta get going to my next class. Edward's waiting for me." After I said this, they blinked together, like they were being drawn out of a trance. "Oh, like ya." I growled internally. I only have so much patience with these two. "Like, we overheard the Cullen's, like, talking, and they said that they only hung out with you because you were like, new and stuff," Lauren said but Jessica butted in saying, "And Edward said that he felt bad for leading you on. He was just being nice since you didn't have any friends." "Ya right you retards. If Edward and his family really didn't like me, then why did they ask me to move in with them, considering the fact that I live alone," I said with a smug smile on my face. "Like Bella dear," Jessica said in her nails-on-chalkboard-voice, "We all know that Mrs. Cullen is like, super compassionate, and she felt bad that you were a freak without friends. She knew your family had abandoned you, and she wanted to like try to help." I felt like I had been smacked in the face. I can deal with gossip about me, but NOT my parents and siblings.

Just as I was about to lunge and burn Jessica and Lauren's fake noses off, I was grabbed from behind by Edward. I looked at him with tears stinging in my eyes. He looked absolutely livid (which was directed at Lauren and Jessica), but when he saw my tears which were now cascading down my cheeks, he looked anguished. "Y-y-you he-he-heard?" I managed to blubber out. "Yes. I heard every word. When I didn't see you outside, I tuned into their minds and heard what they were thinking." As he said this, I could hear fury, concern, love, anguish, and again, love mixed in his voice. "They are horrible. I hate them Bella, but I love you. Nothing they said was true. You are my soul mate, and you will never leave me. I plan to live with you forever." I smiled at Edward's words.

That entire transaction had taken about thirty seconds, so when I turned around, I saw Alice and Rosalie cussing the bimbo's out. They looked like they were going to crap their pants. Emmet and Jasper looked livid, though not as angry as Edward, but were trying to hold the girls back so they wouldn't rip the bimbo's heads off. Too bad. If Edward wasn't holding me, they would be living ice statues within seconds, and a few second later, they would be a pile of ashes in a puddle of water.


"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" I was laughing so hard. It was Super Bowl Sunday, and I was in my Steelers jersey, even though they weren't playing, watching the Super Bowl commercials. My favorite line so far was in the one where everything was made of Bud Light beer cans, and the guy says, "It's Bud Light in a fridge, made of Bud Light." I also loved the one with Betty White playing football. Emmet, Jasper, Edward and me were enjoying the game more than anyone, though Emmet and Jasper were mad that I liked the Steelers. I caught them glaring at me again so I glared right back and said, "Ay, hobo's. The Steelers were the first team I ever saw, and I stay true to my home team, unlike stupid Brown's fans who switch teams cause their team sucks." After my speech, and a little growling from Edward, they finally shut up. The Who had just come up, and let me tell ya, they sound REALLY old. "Wow. I love how they have a bunch of old guys singing, and they didn't even try to make them not sound so old." Emmet laughed hysterically, though I think it was the spiked blood he was drinking, courtesy of me.

I was drinking a Bud Light, ironically, and they vampies were drinking some spiked bear blood. Edward, Jasper, Carlisle and Esme held their drink pretty well, but everyone else (besides me) kept hiccupping and giggling. Alice had only had two bottles, yet I'm guessing since she was so small, it affected her more quickly. I don't know. Emmet just kinda sat there with a stupid grin on his face. Esme was so awesome, she had made me some wings with Buffalo dipping sauce and nachos. Yummy!!

"COME ON SAINTS!!! GET THE STUPID BALL OVER THE TEN YARD LINE!! YA'LL LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF GIRLY PRISSY'S!!" I was up in my seat, screaming at the top of my lungs. Everybody stared at me. I gave them a weird look. "What, don't you guys want the Saint's to win?" "No Sherlock, we like the Colts," Rosalie said, earning a glare from Edward. "DUDE!!!! If the Colt's win, they will have won as many Super Bowl's as the Steelers. THAT CANNOT HAPPEN!!!!" A moment of silence went past when it was broken by, "GO SAINT"S!" I looked at Edward, from whom the outburst had come, and gave him an urgent, yet passionate kiss. "Thank you Edward. I love you." "Yeckch. Young love," Emmet mumbled, which earned him a slap from me, Edward, and Rosalie.

"GO PAYTON!!!! THROW THE BALL!!!" I was, once again, screaming at the huge flat screen in the Cullen's living room. "Now what! I thought you were rooting for the Saint's!" Jasper looked at me incredulously, but I just laughed. "Jazz my dear," he growled at the nickname. "I do root for the Saint's. But Payton Manning is an a-m-a-z-i-n-g football player. Just because I root for one team, doesn't mean I don't root for players on other teams." He contemplated that for a second, shrugged, and went back to watching the game. "Edward, I'll be right back. I'm going to go and get some more nachos." "Alright love, but hurry back to me," he smiled lovingly at me. I skipped into the kitchen to get some more nachos. Mama loves her nachos. I was putting the cheese on my plate when I dropped some on my hand. "Aw Sugar Honey and Iced Tea!" I hurriedly finished putting the cheese on my chips, and immediately washed my hands. As I was drying them, I looked out of the window above the sink and I looked twice to see if my eyes were deceiving me. I thought I saw a pale figure some ways out across the river, but I wasn't sure. By the time I had blinked and looked back, the figure was gone. Whoa. Must be the Bud Light affecting me.

I walked back into the living room, and Emmet was laughing, with his finger pointed right at me. "Nice one Bella! Sugar Honey and Iced Tea! I would've never thought to say that." I gave him a troubled smile, but only Edward seemed to notice because the game was on, and Edward had looked at me odd ever since I walked back into the room. He got up and came over to me in a flash. "Bella, what happened?" he asked me, concern very evident in his voice. "When I was in the kitchen," I began, "I spilled a little cheese on myself, so, naturally, I washed it off. When I looked up I think I saw a figure standing across the river, though it was probably the booze." "I didn't hear any unknown thoughts Bella, it must've been the booze, but just in case, I don't want you to go outside by yourself. Just to be safe." He kissed the tip of my nose, and my problems were soon forgotten and I wandered back into the magical world of football and Edward…

"YAY!" "NO!" There were many different, okay, only two different reactions to the Colt's getting the ball over the 10 yard line with only 2 yards to go. It was me, Carlisle, Esme and Edward against Emmet, Jasper, Alice, and Rosalie. Guess who said what. Although, since the Saint's are now winning, I'm guessing it doesn't really bother me that much that the Colt's got it over a measly line. Eh, whatev's.

"WE WON!!!!" I screamed, hugging Edward who laughed at my antics. "Um, Bellsy, you do realize that there is still like two minutes left in the game," Jasper said. "Well nah dip Sherlock. But considering the fact that we are ahead by like two touchdowns, well, you do the math." "We shall see young grasshopper. We shall see…" Emmet mused, scaring us all.

2 minutes later…

"Told ya," I said very sleepily to the boys. The last thing I heard before I passed out was Edward whispering in my ear, "Good night Bella. I love you with all my heart…"
