WOW! The feed back from this story is blowing us away! Thank you all so much for the reviews! We love them.
I feel I should post another warning: this story is fucked up so if you don't like it don't read it...js.
Siobhan and I own the plot and nothing more.
I hated holding the phone to my ear, so I put it on speaker and lay it on my chest instead. Besides, this way it left my hands free for other things, like playing with Edward's hands on my stomach. The phone ended up ringing four times before my mother finally decided to answer it.
"Hey sweetie," she said, her voice sounding kind of loud in the quiet room.
"Hey mom."
"Oh, I'm your mom again?" She asked with an attitude.
"Whatever," I snapped. "I can hang up just as fast as I called," I said trying not to raise my voice.
Edward pulled my hair hard and shook his head, frowning. Guess he didn't like my attitude any more than I liked my mother's. I took a deep breath and exhaled, feeling slightly calmer. Edward's fingers tracing shapes on my bare stomach is probably what helped the most, though.
"I just called to see how your day went," my mom said, sounding defeated.
"It was really good. I met a lot of people. They're all just like my old friends," I said hoping that she would read between the lines. Nothing was going to change who I was.
"Just be smart, Bella. I think you should take a break from dating and just focus on your schooling," she said as I rolled my eyes. "I'm glad you called me mom. It broke my heart to hear you call me Renee," she said as Edward glared at me.
I narrowed my eyes right back at him. He didn't know half the shit she'd done to me, and if he did, he sure as hell wouldn't have been advocating for me to call her back. But that was a discussion for another time, apparently.
"Well, I know you sent me here because you hate it here so much, but I like it."
"Bella, have you met a boy already?" She asked, sounding shocked.
I chuckled darkly. Oh, he was far from a boy; he was pure man. "Yup. He is so hot and really sweet."
"That's the same thing you said about James, and I caught him choking you out as he back handed you!" She said furiously.
"I'm not talking about this with you. Edward is great. Well, from the little that I know about him at least. I'm not just friends with him, I'm friends with his sisters as well," I said hoping to get her off the phone.
"Well, now that is something you haven't had in a while," she said with a happy sigh.
"What?"
"Girlfriends. When was the last time you had a girls night?" She asked as I grew quiet. "James was your life for two years. This is your second chance. Your life needs balance. I love you, Bella, and I just want what's best for you," she said sounding choked up.
"Yeah mom, thanks I guess," I said as Edward kissed my temple. "I'll talk to you later."
I hated when she made good points. Now I was thinking about having girlfriends. She was right; my life, my world, revolved around James for two years. I didn't have friends, much less girlfriends. I don't think I even knew how to be a good girlfriend to another female. I know that I could be the best girl for Edward, but those were two completely different things.
"What's wrong?" Edward asked as we lay back on his bed.
"Um...I just really hate when my mother gets me thinking about shit," I said as he rolled onto his side and propped his head up with his fist.
"Talk to me."
"James was literally my life for two years," I explained. "I did everything with him. I didn't really have any friends. The thought of hanging with Alice and Rose is kind of cool." I took a deep breath, because if Edward was anything like James, he wouldn't want me to befriend them.
"If they weren't my sisters, I really wouldn't want you to be friends with them, but they are both forces of nature. You can be friends with them as long as I don't have to ask you to hang out with me. I want you to just be here, ya know?" He asked as I smiled.
"I understand that, and I want the same from you." He nodded in understanding and gave me his amazing smile.
"I will blow up your phone if you don't answer the first time I call," I said.
"Me too. I flip out over stupid shit. We're talking like spilled milk shit," he said as I laughed at him.
"I won't be with someone who cheats on me," I countered.
"Me either. I don't let my girlfriend flirt with other guys," he said, moving his hand to brush a piece of hair away from my face.
"I'm clingy," I admitted. He probably already knew that, though.
"I'm needy as well," he said as we stared at each other. "And I like my girl clingy," he added, giving me a quick kiss.
"I'll start fights for the hell of it, and I will push your buttons just because I want to," I told him, making him chuckle.
"You just like to fight?" He asked as he played with my hair.
"Yeah, it's like my foreplay." I took a deep breath. I was so glad that I found someone so soon. I really didn't think it was possible.
"I like fighting too. Did you ever fight James when he would hit you?" He asked.
"Yeah and it always pissed him off more."
"Can I tell you a secret?" He asked me so I nodded my head yes. "I like it when my girl fights back, it's more of a challenge," he said before kissing me again.
"Rose told me to stay away from you," I told him honestly, making him groan.
"I'm not surprised. She and I don't get along very well. She's still pissed that we moved here. I mean, it was my fault, but she met Emmett and they're like soul mates. She's just a bitch," he said as we kissed again.
"Why did you move here?" I questioned, really wanting to know.
He just reminded me of what Alice had said earlier. Judging from how she put it, I gathered enough to realize that it was Edward's fault for them moving to Forks, and he just confirmed it. Now, I needed to know why.
"You may not want to be with me once I tell you," he said holding me tighter.
"Did you kill some one?"
"No," he answered with a chuckle.
"Then, you have nothing to worry about," I said as I snuggled into him more.
"Okay then," he said taking a deep breath. "I was dating this girl for almost a year. I was so in love with her, but then again, I fall hard and fast," he told me. "Anyway, long story short, I caught her cheating, and I beat the shit out of her. My dad paid the family off so they wouldn't press charges, but we had to move as part of the deal."
"What did you do to her?" I asked, my voice not as strong as I had hoped it would be.
"I broke her nose, which gave her two black eyes. She also ended up with a fractured cheek bone and a dislocated shoulder," he said as his whole body went stiff.
"Please don't break my nose," I whispered. I could take some pretty good blows to the face, but the thought of my nose breaking made me feel sick.
"Please don't cheat on me."
"I would never," I promised him wholeheartedly.
"Then you never have anything to worry about," he said kissing me.
His kiss soon turned into much more as his tongue traced my bottom lip gently, asking for entrance. My mouth opened immediately and he began massaging my tongue with his own. Our hands were everywhere, our legs were a tangled mess. I didn't know where I began and he left off. All I knew, was that kissing him was like nothing I had ever experienced before. My shirt was just underneath my breasts. His fingertips were trailing higher and higher until his hand was almost completely lost beneath my bra. I had just arched into his palm when there were three sharp knocks on his door. Edward groaned in frustration, and released my breast while adjusting himself. I wanted to laugh at his disheveled look, but I knew I probably didn't look much better. After looking to me to make sure I was decent again, he called for whoever was at the door to come in. A split second later Alice came dancing into the room and sat on the end of the bed.
"Hey! Whatcha doin?" She asked in a singing voice.
I rolled my eyes, keeping my smart ass comments to myself. We were in his room, on his bed, with the door shut. Just what in the hell did she think we were doing?
"We were just talking," Edward said.
I grinned at him amused, wondering if he knew his lips were red and swollen. Judging by the look Alice gave him, he wasn't fooling anybody.
"Cool, we are all getting hungry and we didn't know what you liked on your pizza," Alice said to me.
"Oh, I'm not picky," I said with a shrug.
"Cool, are you staying over?" She asked.
"I haven't called my dad yet," I told her as she stood to leave.
"Make sure you do. I want to have girl time," she said, I started laughing at her when she pouted.
Once she was out of the room we heard her yell through the house and then a door shut.
"Yeah, I know. For such a little person she is hugely annoying," he said as we both laughed. "So, you staying over tonight?"
"If you want me to I will call my dad, but I wasn't going to invite myself into your bed," I told him as he hugged me closer.
"You are always welcome in my bed," he said as my phone started to ring.
I had to laugh when I saw that it was Charlie calling me. It had to be a sign.
"Hey dad," I said as Edward ran his finger along my exposed belly.
"Hi Bella," my Dad said, sounding a bit tired. "When are you coming home today?"
"Well, I was just about to call you to ask you if I could stay here tonight," I said as he sighed. "What's the problem?" I asked, slightly concerned that he would have a problem with me staying here, when he's already said how great this family was.
"I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that. Carlisle and Esme aren't home this weekend, and I know how kids are when parents are gone." I couldn't help but laugh.
"Dad, we are not having a party. You can even drive by here and see for yourself," I said, making him chuckle.
"I've already been by there twice."
Now that caught me off guard. "Why?"
"I watch the house for parties when the Cullens are away," he said, as if it should have been obvious.
"Well, that's just shady!" I said with a laugh. "So, is it okay then?" I asked.
"Yeah, but you have to be home by the tomorrow afternoon because we are going to Sue's for dinner," he said as I agreed.
We said our goodbyes and then I turned to Edward.
"You guys can never have a party here," I said as he narrowed his eyes. "Your father has my father watch the house when they're away."
"That son of a bitch!" He said as I laughed. "I have got to tell Rose."
We both headed down the stairs and found everyone in the living room watching Family Guy.
"Rosie! You will never guess what I found out," Edward said sitting on the arm of the couch. "Our oh so trusting Father has our house watched when they're gone."
It was pretty comical the way her eyes grew wide and her mouth popped open in shock.
"That son of a bitch!" She said in the same tone that Edward did.
Now I saw the resemblance. Edward and Alice had a lot of similarities, but it seemed that Rose and Edward shared the temper. After a few more swears thrown around and talk of throwing a party in spite, Edward pulled me onto his lap on the couch as we settled in. The pizzas arrived soon after, and we all talked and ate. Being in a group setting like this was completely new to me. It was one of the best days of my life. With James, it was always just him and me. Like my mom said earlier, I never hung around other girls, even if I was with James. He and I just stuck together. Alone. I found out that hanging out with other couples was fun; there was no other way to describe it. Boys will be boys, and soon after they finished eating, they started shit talking one another about video games. It didn't take long for them to start playing. Edward gave me a quick kiss, his hand palming my ass as he said that I could go hang out with the girls. That's when us girls took our leave, and headed to Alice's room.
"Okay, why are you being so clingy with my brother after I told you to stay away?" Rose asked once we sat on the big bed.
"I like him. He is so cute and sweet. I don't know, there is just something about him," I defended, as a smile spread across my face.
"He's mean. He's an asshole, and a jerk!" Rose argued.
I just chuckled and shook my head. If she only knew.
"That's what I like about him," I said as she stared at me.
"How can you like that?" Alice asked.
"I don't know, it's just what I like," I said with shrug.
I didn't feel like I needed to explain myself to them. We had just met. They would never understand, but that was okay; they didn't have to. They just had to live with the fact that I wasn't going to stay away from their brother.
"Did another guy do this to you?" Alice asked, pointing to my neck.
I shook my head. I was definitely not ready to get into this with them today. Not now. "No offense, but I don't feel comfortable talking to you guys about it."
"I get it, but we'll be spending a lot of time together, so you'll tell us soon enough," Rose said with a sweet smile.
Maybe that was true. Maybe some day one of them would become a best friend to me. That was something I have never had, but now that the chance was here, it was something that I really wanted. I'm starting to think that moving to Forks was for the best.
"I hate to cut girl time short, but I have to go grab some of my stuff for tonight and tomorrow," I said to them just as Rose yawned.
"What time is it? I'm so freaking tired!" She said, stretching.
"It's only nine. You just want to go spend time with Emmett," Alice said as we all laughed.
We headed downstairs and I could hear Emmett yelling at the TV. I had to laugh at their boyish behavior. Walking into the living room, I saw the boys sprawled out on the couches and floor. They each had a controller; their faces concentrating on the television set in front of them. Alice and Rose went to sit by their men while I stayed standing.
"I'm gonna go-" I had barely gotten a few words out when Edward cut me off as he quickly turned away from the TV to face me.
"Where are you going?" He asked, sounding pissed off.
I stared at him in shock for a moment before I answered him. "I'm going home t-" But, once again, I was interrupted by Edward.
"I thought you were fucking staying?"
I couldn't believe that he was throwing such a fit. I would have laughed in his face, but right now, he was pissing me off more than anything. He wouldn't even let me finish my sentences!
"I-"
"Whatever, Bella. Just go home," he said getting up off the couch and heading to the stairs.
"Fuck you, Edward," I said as I started putting on my shoes.
"I didn't think it was going to start so soon," I heard Emmett say as I was heading for the front door.
"Fuck me?" Edward yelled.
"Yeah! Fuck you. What I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, was that I was just going to grab some stuff from my house. But now I'm not coming back," I said as I grabbed the rest of my stuff by the door.
"Oh, they really are going to be good for one another," Alice said as I shut the door firmly behind me.
