Chapter 15 (Cheesy pick up lines)

I just re-read Twilight for my 4th or 5th time and would like to say that I never really realized how OOC (Out Of Character) the Cullen's have been. Like I forgot that Edward had a mood swing problem. But now I'll try to be more on track.

I would also like it if you could vote on my new Pole now that 'The White House Sanctuary' is coming to a close. This is not the final chapter but Where in the last 5.

I would also like to say MY SISTERS PREGNET! I'm so happy! My sister got married a few months ago and came over a few days ago to tell me and my family! I'm so existed! I'm going to be an Aunt!

Thanks for the reviews!!

E.P.O.V

It has been a week and Bella had been going to school like a normal girl. It still shocks me that she's able to move on so quickly, how strong she is. I was worried however about her reaction when she would face the lawyer we hired. Carlisle went to law school once and wanted to be her lawyer but his human records here only said he finished med school and for days now he's been mad with himself for not coming to Forks as a lawyer even though he has no rezone too.

Well back to topic, her name was Ms. Stacy and she was one of the best female lawyers out there. Why female? Well, Bella may be strong but she has a thing about trusting men that aren't in the family. She was always more tense and scared around people like Mike and Tyler. Of course I didn't mind when she said she wanted me to be in all her classes. That would have happened with or without her wanting it to.

One- Because I want to be in all her classes.

Two- I had to help her out with her broken leg.

Three- Just as a precaution incase Charlie shows up at school.

Speaking of Charlie. We called the child abuse center and had some people come over to his house and they didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Of course not, we had cleaned the house top to bottom. But they where keeping there eye on him. After that we decided not to involve the school with this. So they think that Bella fell down the stairs and severally broke her leg. To explain why she's living with us, we decided that Carlisle thought it best that she lived with us, so that he could make sure her leg healed properly. Of course saying that the broken leg was that bad maid all the boys (Witch Bella was trying to avoid) think they needed to help. But other then that she's been opening up and I found that she could be stubborn and active just as much as quiet and calm. But seeing her so happy just made me love her more.

"Want me to get your bag?" I asked as Bella took her crouches. We where now going home as the final bell rang.

"Thanks, oh I'm so existed that Carlisle's going to change the cast! It's so itchy." Bella said almost bouncing with joy.

"Someone's existed." I noticed as we walked to my Volvo. I had to slow down because of her leg but I really didn't mind.

"How can I not be?" She asked as we joined the rest of the family near the car.

I wonder when Edward's going to tell Bella about the lawyer that's coming. Alice's thoughts rang through my head and I gave a light sigh as the family got into the car. In order to all fit in my car Rosalie was on Emmett's lap and Alice was on Jasper's but you can guess how much they complained about that. I got Bella in the front and went to the driver side a little faster then normal.

"How's my favorite human?" Emmett asked and Bella laughed before turning on the radio.

"I'll take that as a good." Emmett guesses.

"She's ecstatic." Jasper said laughing in a deeper voice. 'Little Butterfly' started playing on the radio and Bella gently sung along for fun.

"I'm your little butterfly; dream up your moves making patters in the sky…" Her voice was soft but full of life and happiness.

"So Bella… where having a guest over." I said and she froze from her little dance to look at me with those wide, big eyes.

"Who?" She asked and turned down the music so it was in the background.

"Her names Ms. Stacy and she's just going to ask you a few questions." Bella looked out the front window her eyes deep in thought.

"No, I don't want to talk." She said and crossed her arms wile putting one leg over the other in an end-of-conversation matter.

"Bella really, she's a very nice lady. Pleas just talk to her. For me?"

"No."

"Bella." I said in a warning tone and she sighed.

"No, I just want to forget. Why can't we just levee?" She asked shaking her head back and forth.

"He'll chase us down. Pleas, it will only be a little longer and then will move to any place you want. Well, as long as it's not sunny." I said with small smile.

"Will you change me when we get a new life?" She asked after 10 seconds of just staring out the window. My knuckles whitened against the steering wheel.

"Don't change the subject." I replied too quickly in a voice that made Bella cringe. I loosened my hands and removed one to hold her close.

"Bella, I don't want to talk about that now. Just tell me if you could pleas talk to Ms. Stacy." I said kissing the top of her head. It was a foolish hope that she would forget about what we are but it was hope.

"Fine, but you can't avoid the subject for much longer." She said as we pulled up to the house. I was opening her door before she blink. Bella looked at me with surprise for one quick second and started getting out.

"Emmett, help Bella out of the car. I'm going for a run." I told him and was gone. I ran as fast as my legs would carry me and didn't look back. I needed to think and being around Bella when thinking such frustrating thoughts weren't good. I stopped for one second to hit a tree and it went flying before I could even use my full strength. She had told me 3 days ago her thoughts about the subject. She had told me she didn't want to be a week human. She didn't want to remember her human life and the memories that it held. I was so shocked and mad when she said that, Emmett had to restrain me from hitting a wall. Carlisle said he would talk with her and we all went hunting wile they talked. When we came back I left right after as to not break something valuable. Carlisle had promised Bella that as soon as we moved he would change her. I still remember his thoughts so clearly it was like he said them just moments ago.

Edward, it's her choice. She wants this. She doesn't believe her soul will die. Listen to what she has to say. She wants a new life with you, forever. I know you want that too. He pleaded with me to understand. I can't damn her to hell. She deserves a human life.

But the more I thought about it the more it made sense. It was an inner battle.

She's too young. I'm too greedy not to do it. Just a few more years… I will change her… but in a few years. Now, how do I convince HER to wait a few more years… And I spent the rest of my run contemplating that.

B.P.O.V

Edward ran off into the forest as Emmett helped me out of the car. I knew I had angered him but I wanted this more then anything. To be with him forever. Carlisle had agreed to change me but I wanted HIM to do it. Only Jasper knew how much it hurt when he got worked up about changing me. I often wondered if I was being selfish. I even asked Carlisle about it but he said that Edward wants to be with me forever too. That he was scared about my soul.

"How was school?" Esme asked as we walked into the house. Living in this house was better then I imagined it would be.

"Boring as usual. Mr. Mason gave us a Math test." Rosalie complained as I walked to the kitchen so that I could get a snack.

"Where's Edward?"

"Running." Alice said casually as she walked into the kitchen and helped me make a bole of cereal.

"Thanks" I said and sat down. I slowly eat my cheerios as Carlisle walked into the room.

"How are you doing?" Carlisle asked the 2 of us and sat down.

"Fine." We answered in a union and smiled at each other.

"Well. Jasper told me you where happy to get your cast changed so why doesn't Alice help you have a shower and get into some comfy close and I can remove your cast after. Ms. Stacy will be over around 2 hours once your cast is changed." Carlisle explained and ruffled my hair with a smile. I smiled back and Alice helped me up. I put my dishes in the sink before we walked off, Alice talking happily about the kind of mini shirt she wanted to put me in. I couldn't argue because nothing else seemed to fit around the bulky cast. That was another plus to getting it changed. It was also smaller so that I would now be able to where shorts and really loose pants.

"Okay! The ugly shirt needs to go!" Alice said when we entered the bath room.

"You picked this out for me this morning!" I protested as she pulled the shirt over my head.

"I never look back on my work. It's now old fashioned." She said and through it in the laundry basket. After she carefully removed the big skirt and helped put the plastic bag around my cast so It didn't get wet. Alice set the water for me and I got in shutting the curtain behind me. Alice would have left the room but she needed to make sure I wouldn't slip. I enjoyed the feel of hot water as it relaxed my muscles. Once I had finished washing up and shut the water off Alice helped me dry my body and blow dry my hair.

One she was done making my hair extra strait so that it was long enough to just touch the top of my butt I brushed my teeth. My breath didn't smell but I liked the feel of mint and it always made me feel good to be so clean. Alice dressed me in a cute Navy mini skirt and button up calm, light blue blouse. To finish the look up she put a Navy hair band in my hair and we where out the door. When we walked out of the bath room I was hit with a wave of fresh air and took a deep, calming breath. Alice led me to Carlisle's office where we knocked once on the door gently.

"Come in." He said in a very soft voice. We entered his office and he had a big bag of medicine supplies out on the table near the couch. Carlisle himself was sitting in front of the couch on a stool.

"Ready?" He asked and pointed to the couch. I sat down and put my leg on Carlisle's lap. He was holding something that resembled a pizza cutter but I knew it wouldn't hurt me. He cut the cast in 2 and took it off to reveal my tender leg. The part that was skin was paler then the rest of me and some hair had started growing back from the last time I had shaved. And then there was a bandaged part that had a brown/red dot in the middle meaning blood had gotten on it. He slowly unwrapped the bandage and I looked away from what might be there under the neat white fold.

It felt good to have you're leg exposed to air again and you could practically feel it clinging to the oxygen. Then something cold but not freezing rap around and I realized it was the new bandage. It felt so good to be replaced. Soon he was done with that and something wet but more jell like was over top of it. I watched as the jell covered fabric was rapped around my leg from my thigh to my knee this time, instead of all the way down to my heal.

"Bella, you're going to have to hold your leg still till the cast dries. Emmett and Jasper put on a movie and are waiting for you downstairs." He said and Alice slowly picked me up.

"Thank you so much, Carlisle." I said and gave him a daughterly kiss on the cheek before Alice rushed me down the stairs. She set me on the couch in-between Emmett and Jasper. Alice sat on the left of Jasper and Rosalie was on Emmett's lap, his arms around her waist.

"I'm guessing Edward's not back yet." I said and Emmett looked at me then shook his head wile Jasper put one arm on my shoulder and hugged me closer to him, sensing the disappointment that flooded through me at Emmett's small gesture.

He'll be back soon." Jasper said and took the remote starting the movie before putting his arm around Alice and hugging her to him as well. Alice put one hand on his chest and I could feel the love floating off the. It felt wrong looking at such a nice love moment in between them so I looked at Emmett to find in and Rosalie trying to eat each others face. I felt very strange being in the middle of this and I wanted to leave and cry. I had made Edward mad. Jasper stopped looking at Alice and held my hand tight. Calm flooded through me and I relaxed.

"Sorry." He whispered and then looked over at Emmett and Rosalie with a look of disgust. It took everything I had not to laugh when Esme who was watching us with Carlisle next to her on the other couch got up and took the bole of pop corn that she had made for me but I wasn't hungry for and dumped it on Emmett's head. Emmett didn't notice but Rosalie did and pulled away shrieking.

"It's rude to make-out in front of people." She whispered to theme and they both looked at me for a second with sad eyes before we all watched 'Beauty and the beast'.

Once the movie was done, Esme cleaned up the pop corn and Alice went to help Rosalie get the butter from her hair.

"So what do you want to do?" Emmett asked. Each one of us had one of the 3 couches and where looking from one and other.

"Well, I've wanted to play a game lightly but I didn't know when would be a good time to play it." I said. I had seemed a few girls play it in class and wanted to try it for myself.

"How do you play?" Jasper asked.

"You all say cheesy pickup lines for fun and when you want to end the game, the one with the Cheesiest pickup line wins. Like 'Hey baby, I'm the number one tonsil hockey champion of the world. Want a go?' " and both Emmett and Jasper burst out laughing.

"This is my new official number one game!" Emmett yelled through laughs.

"It only works if you say it like you think it's going to work." I replied and we spent 30 minutes saying cheesy lines and laughing at how stupid they sounded.

"Did it hurt?" Jasper asked me in a awe shocked voice.

"When?" I asked him.

"When you fell from haven." He said and we all went into another wave of laughter.

"You must be a maze cause I'm lost in your eyes." Emmett said and waved his eye brows up and down sending us laughing again. It was my turn and I was out except for some I had read in a comic called 'Vampire Knight' I was a little nervous about using theme but they where cheesy so why not.

"Hey Baby, What's you blood type?" I said and they looked like I had just committed a murder. We all stared at each other in shock for 3 seconds then burst out laughing harder then before.

"I didn't know Vampire Cheesy pickup lines where aloud." Emmett said rolling on the ground. I shrugged.

"Vampire, human, werewolf, as long as it's cheesy." I said and took a drink of the apple fruit drink Esme set out for me.

"How many of those do you have?" Jasper asked maintaining his laughter.

"Not a lot, Blood Type's the best." I said and looked for more I had.

"Umm… Hey, what's the sex without the bite?" I said and bite the air. They both went into another fit of laughter.

"Okay, okay! Ms. Stacy's going to be here in 3 minutes." Alice said fallowed by Rosalie who had a towel around her head.

"We'll have to play that game with the whole family some time." Esme said walking in with Carlisle right behind her.

"Thanks for the pick up lines." Carlisle said and winked before kissing Esme's cheek who laughed.

"You head!" I said blushing a deep scarlet.

"How could we not?" Rosalie said sitting again on Emmett's lap.

"So who won?" Esme asked and we all looked around.

"Jasper's 'did you know Texas's men have wilder sex then animals. Want to see if that's true?' was good."

"I liked the 'blood type' one." Alice said and Carlisle nodded laughing again.

"It was so cute!" Esme said and Rosalie agreed.

"Well then Bella's the winner." Emmett declared.

"Yah, Vampire cheesy catch-lines rule!" I said clapped once. Then there was a knock on the door and the good mood left all of a sudden.

"Way to ruin the fun." Emmett said quietly as Esme went to get the door.

"Hello, you must be Ms. Stacy. Come in, Come in, Pleas make yourself at home." Esme greeted.

"Thank you." She said. Ms. Stacy had brown wavy hair with blond highlights and a rather bony face. She was in mid 40's or early 50's with a ton of makeup. To top it all off her out fit had no color. It was just gray and white. I could tell right now that I wouldn't like her.

"You must be Isabella." She said and held out her bony hand.

"Bella." I said in a plane flat voice and took her hand in a light grip.

"Would you like you get started Bella." She asked.

"No, where would you like to sit?" I said and Ms, Stacy seemed surprised by my reaction.

"Right here is fine thank you." She said and sat down next to Jasper. She put a tape recorder on the table and clicked 'RE'

"Now can you tell me when the abuse got bad?" She said getting strait to the point. I flinched a little and Emmett tensed up a bit. I wanted Edward really bad but had to remind myself that it's my fault he's gone. That just made me want to cry more.

"He's always been very ruff but one I was 7 he started actually hitting me more often."

"More often?"

"Yes, ever since I was little he would have a slap here or there."

"And you never thought of calling the police?"

"He is the police."

"Children aid."

"He told me that it was my fault Renee died and that I was giving him myself in exchange. Life for life thing."

"And why rebel now?"

"He told me he was the one who tried to kill me cause my mother loved me and he wanted her love all for himself. But my mom got in the way and Charlie killed her instead on accident." My voice stayed flat.

"Okay. That's all I need for the moment. Now If you and your brothers and sisters would like to levee so I may talk to Esme and Carlisle." She said and I nodded before we all left out the front door to sit on the porch. One the door had shut we went to lay in a cercal our heads together on the tall grass. It was the perfect day. Clouds covered the sky but no rain fell.

"What a bitch." Rosalie said.

"Why'd we pick her again?" Emmett asked.

"You can't even smell her under the perfume she wore." Jasper said.

"Has she heard of the word fashion?" Alice mocked

"I thought Edward said she was nice." I said

"She means well, she's just not good around teens." Edwards's voice perked up and I sat up really quickly hurting my leg.

"Aaa." I said and clung to my side. Edward was there slowly laying me back into the grass. He was leaning over me with each hand on ether side of my head supporting him up.

"I'm sorry." I whispered in a small voice but knew he heard me.

"Bella stop. Shhhh, I'm sorry it was wrong of me to levee like that." He said and supported his wait on one hand with the other hand wiping away tears that had leaked out of my eyes. Edward hugged me tightly too him and then put his lips gently to mine.

"I'm calling a meeting for you me and Carlisle." Edward said once he pulled away and we all just watched the clouds go by.

"Hey Edward, I like your close. You know where they would look good? On my floor." Emmett said and we all started cracking up.

"What? That's not funny. Who taught Emmett that!?" Edward said and that sent us into another wave of laughter.

"Its part of our new favorite game." Jasper said and I'm guessing filled Edward on what happened because he laughed harder then I had ever heard him before.

"Well, thanks for the pictures. Were all ready for court now. It's in 3 weeks. Wednesday, Seattle court hall, Jefferson Street, 3:30 PM. If you want you can come over early and will talk." She said and at her high pitched voice we stopped laughing.

"Bye Bella. See you in 3 weeks." She told me before driving away.

"She means well." Edward reminded me when my hand squeezed his tightly.

"You wanted to call a meeting Edward?" Esme asked as we all walked inside. Well. Most of us walked. I was carried by Edward.

"Yes. I wanted to talk about Bella's change." He said coolly and we all stiffened up. Edward set me next to his seat that was at the head. Carlisle filed in.

"The floors yours." Carlisle said and Edward started.

"As we where all told. You primmest Bella that you would change her when we moved right?" Edward asked Carlisle.

"Correct."

"But Bella would rather have me change her."

"Correct." I said.

"Well How about this. I'll change Bella, if she waits for 2 more years." Edward said and I looked at him surprised.

"That seems rezone able." Carlisle told me.

"No deal." I said flatly and Edward frowned.

"Bella. Pleas, you're too young." He pleaded with me but this was something I wouldn't budge on.

"No Edward. I want nothing to do with this life."

"I want to give you happy human memorize too. Pleas, 2 years." He said. I contemplated what he had said. He had a point and I lost nothing. But I'm not giving up without a fight.

"9 month's."

"1 year and 9 months."

"1 year, final offer."

"1 year and a half."

"Deal."

"Deal." And we sealed it with a kiss…
