I got a new phone! I'm so happy! And to celebrate, I am going to type a chapter. Snow storm! That means...I don't know. Just, a snow storm! No school! Yay. Okay, story time!
Chapter 32: Explaining
Bella's POV

"Who are they going out after?" I asked Edward as he lead me in front of the school. We now know that Tyler is out and so is Rosalie, I think...

"Emmett went and got Tyler, Jasper is hitting all the boys he can see, Alice is trying to make a plot type of plan to conquer Lauren and Jessica." He answered as we stopped by a broken down tree. I sat on it, moving my hand against the dark damp bark.

"How many kids did we start off with?" I used my hand to snap a small tree branch.
"About 40. Not that many will come because they want to be able to do there work tomorrow." He said as he blew a paintball at someone off far in the distance.

"Fastinating." I said, twirling the talky in my hand then dropping it.

"So, who thinks that Obama knows about Edward Cullen?" I heard Emmett's voice come onto the walky. Edward just turned around, glaring at the device.

"I bet he probably does..." I heard Jasper's voice come into the picture.

"Obama knows Edward?" I asked, getting Edward to roll his eyes.

"Bella! There you are! I thought Eddie boy over there ate you or something." Emmett said. Edward grabbed the walky.

"Emmett!" He hissed into the walky. "Oh relax, we're on a different channel then the rest of them. There on 09, were on 13." Came Rosalie's voice.

"Rose, aren't you out?" Alice asked, her voice sounding totally different. Or was that Emmett?

"Code blue." I heard Emmett say after that, and then he left. I hit the botton so it would be on channel 09. And that's when we heard Emmett singing.

"Come on Bella, you know you wanna join me..." His voice taunted me. I looked up at Edward who was shaking his head, then moved away to quickly for me to see.

He came back moments later, smiling like a mad man. I returned back to Emmett. But he wasn't singing anymore.

"What did you do?" I asked raising my eyebrow at him. He shrugged innocently, moving me out of the way of an incoming paint ball. "Thank you."

"I've heard that plenty of times. Fall after fall." He sais smiling. I smacked him on the arm. "I'm not that clumsy." And as I said that, I got up and tripped over a root.

I was in his arms instantly, fitting perfectly. "Ugh, okay maybe I am! I guess that is why you were here, to protect me from danger." I said as we walked hand in hand down the back of the school.

"Yes, I think that is exactly why I'm here." He said sincerely. As we walked I could hear most of the kids screaming and cursing. They were out.

Now how many kids are still in? "Edward?" "There are 21 humans still out there, but one is going to get hit by Mike in 29 seconds." See? I can be anywhere I want, with my vampire.

My? No, everyones. Right?

"I wish I could hear what you are thinking right now..." I heard Edward say as we were coming into view of Rosalie and Emmett. My eyes began to hurt a little bit, but I wasn't going to sleep yet.

"I'm thinking about Emmett's song he was going to sing." I lied. He just stared at me and sighed, moving me out of the way of a blue paint ball again.

"I know when you are lying to me Isabella." He said using my full name. That reminded me of Charlie for some reason. Charlie. What ever happend to him?

And all the danger I'm putting the Cullens in? No one enjoys being in danger.

"Isabella Hale don't you dare think about it!" I heard Alice say as the walky vibrated. "Do what?" I asked as Edward looked far off into the distance.

"Leave us. You're not putting us in danger. So don't dare leave us." I heard Jasper say.

"Bella's not going anywhere guys... If she ever does, that won't end up very well now will it Bells?" Emmett's voice rang out. I shivered at I thought of him flexing his muscles now. No Emmett, that would not end well.

"Bella, don't even think that." Edward said, pulling my to a hult before walking in front of me.

"How do you know I'm thinking about that Edward?" I tried to pass it off as a joke, but he wasn't having that. "I'm serious Bella."

"I know that." I said forcefully."I just don't like that you are all risking your lives for a human. Me." I said staring down. If I was never here, than they would all be happy and NOT in danger.

"You remind me of my mom." He said. I looked up at him. Esme? "My real mother." Oh. I had never heard about Edward's past. He looked at me for a moment, then picked up the walky talky.

"Emmett, put the game on hold until tomorrow. We only have about 10 kids left, so it really doesn't matter. I'm taking Bella home." He spoke into it then threw me onto his back faster than I could see.

"A heads up would have been nice." I said as I clung onto his neck. He just laughed and ran faster. It was all a blur around me. I remembered when he ran me like this when I was younger. Ah, good times.

When we were home, Carlisle and Esme were waiting at the door, looking at Bella in fake anger. "Isabella, where have you been?" She asked as I still clung onto Edward's back as he walked inside the house.

"Uh..." Edward said I was a bad liar, so why would I lie?

"I took Bella on a date."

"Yes, he took me- what!" I almost choked on air. I didn't expect that.

"Really? Where did you take her?" Carlisle asked, eyeing Edward suspiciously. Edward just continued to walk up the steps and speak with me on his back.

"La Bella Italia." He said with a perfect accent and walked into his room, closing the door with his foot. He put me down on the bed and walked over to the closet. He pulled out a tiny box and then walked back over.

"This," He said opening the box, "was my mother's wedding ring." It was a golden ring with dinomds all around it. Simple but beatiful. On the side I could see that it was engraved to Elizabeth Masen.

"It's beautiful." I said, holding the delicate ring in my hand. "She must have really loved this." I said sadly. Edward just smiled softly and nodded his head.

"Everyone thinks that I don't remember my parents." He confessed, staring at the ring. "But I do. Very vivid images."

"Do you want to talk about it?" I whispered, grabing his hand. He smiled and looked up.

"There is nothing to talk about. Unless you want to know some things about them."

"Yes please." I said, sitting in his lap and getting comfy.

"My mom would have loved you," he started off. "you just make everyone feel happy when your around them."

"Except for Tanya." I muttered. He heard and gave a humorous chuckle. "Yes, shes a... not a nice word, let us leave it at that." He said, playing with a strand of my hair.

"Anyway, when I was about 13, there was a big war that broke out. My father had to go far out to save me last grandmother. That night, there reallt wasn't anything we could do except wait. I remember me just sitting on the couch as my mother paced the floor."

"He never called back. All our phone calls. Messages. Nothing." He said now staring down. I squeezed his hand.

"We found him 3 days later, trying to find my grandmother. He had no contact of us ever calling. He had made this device, almost like a cell phone, but we didn't have those back then. We were the only ones in town that had one, and we made sure that nothing ever happend to it."

"He lost it that day, having to make sure that we were okay. He had given up the device to that he could pay for a secrent servant of some sort, to watch mother and I so we wouldn't be harmed. When we got back, he had told us that he never found her. He collapsed after that, so we brought him to the hospital.

"I remember Carlisle being there. And that is all. But there is more about the day the Spanish Influenza broke out." He told me. I didn't notice I was crying until he wiped tears away from my eyes.

"Don't cry." He cooed, smiling a little bit. I nodded my head, making him continue. "I remember Carlisle changing me, the transformation. Everything. It was like walking through hell."

"For three days. On fire, it felt like. I could hear everything around me. I knew I was screaming, but I knew that there was nothing that anyone could do. I remember hearing Carlisle talking to me quietly, telling me about what was happening."

"He told me that my mother knew that he was special. That she knew that when she was dying, just like my father, that she wanted him to forget about her and save me. He did everything he could for her, but before we knew it she was gone. That scene is stuck in my head. Anywhere. Sometimes if I'm spaced out, I'm just replaying scenes from my old childhood."

"The transformation was the most painful experience I've ever been through in my life. When it got to my heart, I just wanted to die. I guess I did in some way though... When I woke up, Carlisle told me everything. What I was."

"I didn't believe him when he said that we were like normal people. I knew I was a monster. I couldn't control myself the first time. I drank from a human." He looked down ashamed, staring out the window.

"It wasn't your fault. Alice told me that when you are a newborn that you can't control yourself." I whispered back.

"Alice has told you about these things?" He almost asked agrily. I nodded my head. He shook his, looking at me now.

"I think you should go to bed. It is almost 1:30, and I want you to get some sleep before we go to school." I nodded my head in agreement. My eyelids were begining to droop anyway. He got out of my room as I grabbed my clothes and got changed.

"Edward?" I whispered as I sat on my bed. He was in my room instantly. "Will you stay in here with me?" I asked shyfully for a moment. I just wanted to be around him.

"Congrats Eddie." I heard Emmett yell up the steps. He just rolled his eyes at that while I muttered a 'shut up' to Emmett.

He layed with me, me under the covers and him ontop. He hummed to me as I fell asleep cluching onto his arm.

"Bella, wake up." I groaned as I heard Edward's voice. Then there was a big crashing sound and some grunts. I sat straight up, only to find Emmett with a paintball gun about to aim it at me, but Edward had tackled him to the ground as the paintball flew onto my lamp.

"I'll get her next time Edward." Emmett said smiling stupidly and waving over his shoulder at me. "Morning Bells."

"Interesting moment to wake up to on a Monday." I muttered, throwing the covers off me and heading over to my lamp. "I liked that lamp to..."

"He'll buy you a new one." Edward smiled. "Just go get ready for school. According to Alice, this is going to be the most, 'craziest week a immortal no offence to Bella is ever going to be!'" He said in a perfect immitation of her as he walked out the door.

"This family gets weirder and weirder everyday." I muttered. "You live in a house full of vampires. It can't get any weirder that that!" Jasper called up the steps. I just shook my head and walked to the bathroom.

"I made pancakes!" I heard Esme say as I walked into the kitchen. "You look nice."

"Thanks." I said, but more to the pancakes. I wasn't wearing anything special. Only some jeans and a light blue top with my hair straight down.

"These are really good." I actually got out around the mountain of pancake in my mouth. "Where did you learn to cook like this?"

"Years of practice. You used to always eat these when you were younger." And I could understand why. These tasted so good. Maybe I could stick some inside Emmett's pillow.

"He'll eat it." Alice said skipping into the room with her book bag over her shoulders. I looked at the time. With Edward's driving, we wouldn't be late for school. Esme and Carlisle had left to go to stores to buy things for when we moved. It was probably going to be about another week.

I wasn't sad about moving. I was sad about us having to live with Tanya and her coven. Carlisle said that it was a good place to stay for a while and had a good hunting range. Plus, I think that the Volturi wanted to find us for some reason, and I don't think it was a good one.

So we're moving out to Alaska. Happy days. Not.

"Bella, are you coming or not?" I heard Alice say as she finally got bored just watching me think to myself. I got up and walked to the door to find Edward standing at the car with the passanger side open. I moved into the fron seat as Alice layed down in the back seat. Okay kind of awkward...

"Most people would sit up when in a car Alice." I told her. She just shrugged. "We're not normal." She has a point. "We have our paint ball guns right?" She asked Edward as he sped down the road. "There in the trunk." He responded, pulling up into Forks High. That was quick.

Most kids looked at us we pulled in, but this time all the kids did. It was like I could hear them whispering. As Edward opened the car door for me and held his hand out for me to take, which I did, I could hear Jessica and her other blonde headed friends whispering all around.

"I heard that Edward and Bella were making out in the woods last night, and that they didn't go home until an hour ago." Jessica whispered to them.

"I think so too, look how close they are together. And look at the bags under her eyes!" Another girl named Brittney said, wiping her bangs out of her eyes.

"Well, we're just going to have to get little Swan out now, don't we?" I heard Lauren say, texting away on her cell phone. Woah wait, did she just say?

I stopped walking as we walked into the building. "Swan?" I said to myself as Edward led me over to our first class. Alice went off to her homeroom, and so now it was only me and Edward in the room.

"Don't listen to them Bella. Your better than that." He said, sitting me down on the desk. What did that mean now? Was everyone going to be calling me daughter of the Cheif of Police? He had hurt me so many times.

He wanted me to die the last time I checked. I still remember him pushing me off the boat. And that same day. And the movie. Was the movie really suppost to be my future? But Charlie was always nice to me.

"Bella what are you thinking? Alice can't see your future anymore." Edward said as he looked into my eyes. The golden color was hypnotyzing and made my insides melt, but I just sucked in a big breath of air.

"I'm thinking about-" But I couldn't finish because the bell rang. The teacher walked in, but there was another girl with him. The kids started to crowd up the class room, either talking about Edward and I or the new girl.

"Class, I'd like to introduce Kelly Shay. She just came here from New York. Now I want you to treat her like you all want to be treated. You may sit next to Edward." The teacher said. I can't even remember his name. And wait, Edward?

She had brown hair that went down to her back, and dark brown eyes. She had a small figure, and to anyone else she must have looked beautiful. I scoffed in my head, jeeze. She hasn't even said one word yet and you are already dissing her Bella.

She blushed. She actualy blushed. Just like I do. Okay, calm down. It's just a coincidence. "Hi." She said as she sat down. Edward just smiled, grabbing my hand under the table. I felt kind of confident that Edward wasn't attracted to the girl like the other boys were.

As the teacher was turned around finding papers, I forgot about the paint ball game for a minute. And at that moment, I could see a green paint ball coming straight at my head. I closed my eyes ready for the impact, but it never came.

Edward had pulled me into his lap so that it didn't hit me. It splattered off the backwall, making a loud noise. The teacher, I think the name Mr. Shawn or something like that, turned around and noticed.

"Who did this?" He pointed to the green paint. My eyes immedietly went to Lauren's, but she had a smile on her face.

"Bella." She said, pointing her finger at me so that everyone looked at me. I could feel myself heating up with all the attention. And it wasn't helping that I was still on Edward's lap. I guess since he was a substitute he didn't know who we were, so he just pointed to Edward and I and told us to come up front.

"To the principals office. Now." He ordered. I was about to protest, but Edward just nodded and pulled me by my hand.

"Were really going!" I asked him, not believing that he didn't want to pursuede the teacher. He just shook his head. "Actually, Emmett's about to pull the fire alarm and actually it isn't set up right, so the sprinklers are going to go off."

"So should we go outside and say that it was just a coincident that we were outside as the rest of the kids and teachers are soaking wet, or do you want to get wet anyway?" I asked him, using my hands as dramatic effect.

"Let's just get wet. They are going to let us out early and we are going to have no school tomorrow anyway, so everyones going to be doing the paint ball war. Speaking of paintball war..." He said at the end. He flipped me over his arm so fast I didn't notice until about a minute later.

Jasper and Emmett were off on the side, trying to get one of us out. "Why does everyone always aim for me!" I yelled. They just looked innocent. "Easy target?" Jasper said then he and Emmett ran off.

"Interesting." I said. Then I heard Emmett's laughing which would only mean one thing. Water started pouring down from the sprinklers. And it was freezing! I wrapped my arms around my body, feeling how I shook. Edward wrapped his arms around me, making me lean into him.

"Enjoying the water ladies?" Mike said after Alice and Rosalie showed up. He saw how me and Edward were standing and glared. Something didn't look right on him. I felt Edward growling, but it was to low for anyone to hear.

"Nice hair Newton," Emmett called around the corner. "how long it take you?" Edward tightened his hold on me when Mike took a step towards me.

"Actually, I just like, ran my hand through it." He said. But it didn't look like it. It looked like he put a gallon of hairgel on every strand of hair then stuck his head out a car window and let it fly back.

"Edward..." I whispered. He looked down. "I think theres a cockroach in his hair..." He smiled and hid his mouth in my hair to keep from laughing. But seriously there was! It wasn't even dead! Oh my gosh!

"Mike, you got any pets at home?" I asked as the teacher opened up the door to the outside world. But the bad news is that it was raining out there too. And I think the rain outside was even colder than the water inside.

Can they just say we could go home now! "Edward..." I said into his arm.

"About another minute." He said, rubbing his hands against my arms to make friction. It didn't work great, but it was enough to keep them a little warm.

"Attention students! We are closing the school for 2 days." The princapal said as he walked around. "That is all." After all the kids cheered and ran off, we finally were able to get out of the parking lot.

"I...am...freezing." I said as Jasper took the driver seat and me and Edward got in the back. "Why did you have to go and pull the fire alarm!" I screamed at him. I felt calm after that, and I glared at him.

"Jasper, maybe that isn't a good time to try that out on her..." Alice said from the passanger seat. "Yeah Jasper listen to your wife." I said in a weird voice.

"Were you trying to imitate me?" Alice said a rise in her voice.

"Yes ma'am." I said in a deep voice. Edward cracked his famous crooked grin.

"Sometimes I don't understand you humans..." Jasper said as he pulled up into the driveway.

"Bath!" I screamed, getting out of the car. I opened the door to find Esme and Carlisle, EW! "Okay! I'm going to forget I saw that, and I'm going to go upstairs, and I'm going to forget about everything that's happend in the last 20 minutes."

That was just wrong!

I heard Emmett laughing as I slammed the door. Oh they better not do that again...that was not right kids, not right!

"Bella! I left some clothes outside the door." I heard Alice's voice sound from the door. "Thank you," I whispered and felt her move.

I didn't get out until my hands looked like actual raisins. Or prunes. Which ever one was more wrinkly. "Bella." I heard Esme call. Oh god. I walked down the stairs slowly for two reasons. One, because I didn't want to know what she was going to say. And two, I didn't want to sprain my ankle...again.

"Mom." I said as I came down the steps. "Where is everyone else?" I asked as I looked around the room.

"They went hunting." I noticed that her eyes were more honey then I last remember Edward's being. A thought occured to me then.

"What you saw-"

"We are NOT having that talk. Please, I am begging you. Sadly, school has tought be enough." I said quickly, ready to block my ears if I have too.

"Okay fine. I don't want you to have to endure that...speech." She said relieved. "And I thank you school for teaching you how to be safe."

It was silent for a couple minutes. "Why did dad change you?" I asked suddenly. She looked down at me. She smiled softly.

"I have always wanted a kid. And I finally found out that I was going to have a baby boy. I went estatic, thinking about how my future was going to turn up. But then at the end, I found out that I had a miss carrage." She was looked down now. I grabbed into her arm.

"I thought that I lost everything. So, I didn't want to live anymore. I knew that there was a cliff near my parents house in the back woods somewhere. So, I ran down to it and flung myself off." I gasped, gripping even harder.

"But it didn't kill me. I remember seeing Carlisle coming and taking me somewhere. He treated my leg, wich I had broken, and then before I was going to die, he bit me."

"That must have been a horrible time for you..." I trailed off. She nodded. Then she smiled. "Do you want to see a movie? With the family?" I asked her. She laughed and nodded her head. I didn't like sad moments like that.

"On a school night?" She asked. I just rolled my eyes and dragged her off the couch.

I muttered something unintelligent as I walked to the door. I knew they were right here. "Marco."

"POLO!" I heard a group of people say. Everyone walked out of the bushes.

"What movies are even out?" I asked as we got into the car. Alice grabbed her phone and searched. "If you can see the future, then why don't you just tell us what movie we're going to see?"

"Because I feel like using my phone." She stated, turning around in her seat to look at me. Weird pixie chick...

"Oh, shoot!" Emmett said as we got out of the car. Alice didn't tell us what movies were out, so we didn't know what was playing. "The Proposal. Let's do this!" He grabbed Esme by the arm and dragged her into the theater. This is going to be an awkward movie...

"You know that this is probably going to be the most horrible movie you are ever going to see with Emmett?" Edward asked as he put his arm around my shoulder. I just looked up at him.

"You mean one of the most horrible movies I am going to see with Emmett." I restated. He just chuckled and smiled a crooked grin. That crooked grin...

"Come on guys! You walked slower than my grandma!" Emmett had already gotten snacks and the tickets and waving his arm around with Esme still attached to the other one. She looked bothered.

"Em, you don't have a grandmother." Rosalie said. He just shook his head. "No duh, now come on!" He took off, sending the door flying open. As we finally got into the theater, I could see that he had picked the row in the direct middle. Jasper and Alice went to go sit at the top on the second row.

Carlisle went to go sit on the other side of Esme as Rosalie did the same with Emmett. I led Edward to the corner on the first floor. He tensed. "What?" I whispered. He just turned his head towards the door.

There with that new Kelly girl was Tanya, leading her to the bottom. She looked up directly at us, and then winked at Edward. He growled. The movie started off with the girl riding the bike and flipping through papers.

I just stared at Tanya, who was telling Kelly something, who just nodded her head and glaring at me and smiling at Edward.

Edward's phone began to vibrate indicating that he had gotten a text message. It was from Alice.

If you want to get hit with fruit punch, stay where you are... you have 3 seconds to make a decision. - Ali

"Let's go." I said as he grabbed me and brought me outside.

Alice had sent us a video about 2 minutes later of how she threw her drink on Tanya, and how she stormed out. But it looked like she was heading towards the door where we were.

This wan't going to be good.

"Eddie." Tanya purred in a whole new outfit. One that showed off a lot. Edward grabbed my waste.

"Tanya." He said coldly.

Kelly walked out, inside a dress that I thought was going to fall off it was so small. This is not going to be fun. And it's a Monday. Not a fun way to start the week.

Jeeze, it says where I am that we're going to get the most worst amount of snow ever! And it's a Wednesday. We only had 3 hours of school today, and we're probably not going to school tomorrow, and if we're really lucky, no school Friday. Then it's Febtuary Vacation! So, more chapters on it's way!
