Bella's Point Of View:

2 weeks went by, Edward and I were catching up on what happened after I left and what happened after I was turned. Edward didn't like talking about my "burning" moment in Romania. I could tell, no matter what he said. Edward and I were a lot more open about our relationship than we used to be. It was a Thursday night and Edward and I went to my house after school. Plans were still being made about Nicole. Caleb was trying to get in touch with some old friends of the family, which was not simple. Edward and I were in my room watching TV, I knew Edward was not paying attention to the TV but he was paying attention to me. He started to kiss my neck. Soon I got tired of watching TV, I turned to face Edward and I kissed his lips softly. Until he started getting very passionate. He started to aim for my shirt, but I was doing the same to him. Then all of a sudden Val and Joanna barged into my room. I threw Edward's shirt back to him, luckily I hand a tank on underneath my shirt.

"Really, guys. Really?" I asked sarcastically, but annoyed.

"Yes, really." Val answered, with a laugh.

"Funny, now, what the hell do you want?" I said.

"Dad wants everyone in the living room." Val answered.

"Because?" I asked.

"We have company." Joanna answered.

"Oh,well, I'll be down in a minute." I said.

They both nodded and left. Once the door closed Edward came up behind me. He wrapped his arms around me and said.

"Who's Gabriel?"

Damn it Valorie. I thought to myself but, I knew this would happen eventually. I turned to look at him and said.

"Gabriel, he's…he's…he's, my ex."

Edward's eyes widened then his face became serious and answered in a cold voice.

"Oh, really. You didn't tell me he'd be helping."

"I was hoping I wouldn't have had to." I whispered

He pulled his arm of me and walked towards the window in my room and just stared at the small river. I put my hand on his shoulder and said in a calm voice.

"Edward, there is nothing to worry about. Gabe and I are only friends now."

"How can you be sure?" He snapped.

He was looking at me with hurt eyes, I felt sorry but I wasn't the old "Bella" anymore.

"What the fuck did you expect! You and I were through then, so I decided to date again! What the HELL do you want from me Edward?" I snapped back

He was silent, cause I think deep down he knew I was right. I reached out for his face, but then I heard valorie's voice yelling in my head. She was saying.

"LITHIA GET YOUR FUCKING ASS DOWN HERE!"

I groaned then I told Edward.

"I have to go. We can talk about this later."

As I was leaving Edward pulled me to him and kissed me. I felt his tongue enter my mouth, our tongues danced together. He may have started the kiss but I had to end it, regrettably. I smiled up at him then I asked.

"Did you want to come with me?"

"Well…" He started to say.

But I grabbed his hand and inter locked our fingers and walked down stairs. We joined everyone and I saw Gabe's expression change drastically. He smiled at me and said.

"Well, long time no see, eh Lithia?"

I laughed, then said.

"Sure it has."

He came towards me to give me a hug but Edward pulled me closer to him. I could hear a growl. I smiled to myself. Just like the old days. I thought to myself. Then Gabe asked.

"Who's your friend, Lith?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Edward Cullen." I said.

I saw Gabe's face. I looked up at Edward and I saw that he was happy, happy that I made my ex feel bad. I didn't care anyway. Gabe was the horrible boyfriend. He was so clingy and could never decide for himself. But that's beside the point. I was just happy to see Edward smile. Caleb cleared his voice and he started to explain about my past and about Nicole. Of course Gabe agreed to help and would get his family to help us as well. I just hope we can get enough help soon. I feel that what ever Nicole is up to, it's just only the beginning. Let's just hope I'm wrong.
