The next morning, I woke up feeling overheated and my body felt like it was being crushed. I was on my stomach, and Edward was using my back as a pillow. Moving carefully, I managed to wiggle out from underneath him. As I stood up, I stretched out my tight muscles, noting how my hair stuck to the back of my neck from sweat. I felt gross and I was in desperate need of a shower. Looking back to the bed, I saw that Edward showed no signs of waking up anytime soon. I tiptoed to the side of the bed and grabbed my overnight bag, before heading for his bathroom.

When I was done with my shower, I walked back into the bedroom to see that Edward was still sprawled across his bed fast asleep. Chuckling to myself, I headed downstairs to see if anyone was awake. Surprisingly, I found Rose in the kitchen making coffee.

"Hey," I said, as I sat at the kitchen nook.

"Good morning. Coffee will be done in a few," she said with a yawn. "I'm going to make breakfast, do you want to help?"

"Sure. I'm not the greatest cook, but I can make toast or bacon," I said as she laughed.

"Sounds good. You can make toast and bacon then."

With that, we both started to move around the kitchen. My mouth hit the floor when I saw her pull three pounds of bacon out of the refrigerator.

"That's a lot of bacon."

"Yeah, the boys like to eat. You won't even get the first package cooked before Emmett is down here," she said with a laugh.

Getting everything situated on the stove top, I started on the bacon as I watched Rose break over a dozen eggs into a bowl. I couldn't believe the amount of food she was making, but Rose was right. By the time the first pack of bacon was cooked, Emmett and Jasper were in the kitchen. They each made themselves a huge plate and between the two of them, they ate the whole first package.

"When Alice and Edward come down, don't talk to them or be overly...perky. They're not morning people," she said as we made our own plates. We continued to cook in silence for a few more minutes as the boys shoveled the food into their mouths. "Do you want to go shopping tomorrow? I don't want to spend all day at the mall, but I thought you might like to go," Rose said, placing a plate of biscuits on the table.

"Yeah, that sounds like fun. I have to hangout with my dad today, so I will talk to him about it later," I told her as she smiled.

As I started to eat, I watched Alice and Edward make their way into the kitchen. I giggled to myself as I watched the two of them together. Their hair was all over the place, they were both picking at their eyes, and they both kept yawning. They worked around each other as they made their coffee and breakfast plates. When they sat down at the table, Jasper tried to give Alice a morning kiss. All she did was roll her eyes at him, but she leaned over slightly to let him kiss her cheek.

"Watch this," Rose whispered to me. "So, we're thinking of going to mall tomorrow. We aren't going to spend the whole day there, but I want to show Bella around a little. I was also thinking that we could do lunch or something," she explained as Alice and Edward glared at her.

"Shut up," Alice said annoyed.

"No one cares," Edward said just as annoyed.

"Who would ever guess that they're not the twins in the family?" Rose asked as we laughed.

"You two are twins?" I questioned, shocked.

"Yup. I don't usually admit it, but the two of them are too funny in the morning," she said as we laughed again.

"So, what are your favorite stores at the mall?" I asked Rose.

"Shut the fuck up," Edward said, much to my surprise.

"Sorry," I replied as nicely as I could.

He stared at me for a few seconds and then gave me a kiss. Breakfast was eaten in silence after that. Edward and Alice would get pissy with all of us for stupid reasons. Alice yelled at Emmett for chewing too loud, and Edward yelled at Jasper for breathing too loud while he ate. They were the worst to Rose though, she couldn't do anything right. She was yelled at for slurping her drink, for her teeth scraping against her fork, and for smacking her lips. I was pretty sure that she was doing everything on purpose, which only caused me to like her even more.

Once everyone was finished, Rose wasted no time trying to piss of the two grumpy pants. "Okay, we cooked, so you all get to clean!" Of course she said it with the up most excitement.

"Whatever! Just stop talking," Alice half yelled at her.

I laughed openly as Rose grabbed my hand starting to pull me from the room.

"Bella, what are you going to do until I'm done?" Edward asked.

"I'll be out on the porch," I told him as I pulled my smokes out.

He nodded and Rose and I walked outside. It was a perfect spring day, the sun was warm, it made me miss home. After I lit my cigarette, I checked my phone to see that James had sent me a text message. I was torn on what to do. I knew Edward didn't want me talking to him, but I didn't want to make James mad by not replying either.

"Who's that?" Rose asked when she sat next to me.

"James, my ex," I told her as I sent back a smiley face.

A smiley face was good. It wasn't exactly talking to him, but it wasn't ignoring him either.

"Edward will flip if he finds out you are texting with him," Rose warned me.

"I know," I sighed. "It's just a hard situation. I don't want to upset either one of them. I just don't know what to do."

"I know my brother. You can't text him, or talk to him. Edward has an awful temper..."

"I know. He told me why you guys moved here. I wouldn't ever cheat on him, but James has been a part of my life for two years. If I hadn't moved here, I would still be with him," I told her.

"I get it," she replied easily. "But Edward won't."

I plopped my head back onto the back of the chair, completely exasperated. "Ugh...I know."

"Did you only break up because you moved here?"

"Yeah," I said hoping that she would just drop the subject. I was sure that she wouldn't though.

"I know I am prying, but I'm really curious. What happened?" she asked as I took a drag of my cigarette.

I exhaled smoke and took another drag before answering her. I don't know if it was just because I liked the feeling of having a girl to confide in, or if I was just that desperate for some kind of outsiders opinion on this, but whatever the reason, I wanted to tell her.

"My mom walked in on him choking me. Before she could step in, James backhanded me," I said as her eyes grew big. "But Edward is different. He's more sweet and sensitive. Last night, my lip started bleeding, and Edward stopped what he was doing to take care of me. James would have never done that...I really like your brother," I said with a smile.

"Just don't let him treat you too bad," she said with a small smile.

I could tell that she probably wanted to say more, but all in all, her loyalty was to her brother. Sure, she might have warned me to stay away from him, but she was his sister, and that was something no one could take away from them.

"People change," I said with shrug.

I had just started smoking a second cigarette, when the front door opened. I turned to see my sexy boyfriend standing in the doorway. All he had on was a pair of basketball shorts; he looked so hot. Rose, taking the hint, stood up and walked back inside, leaving the two of us alone. Edward sat next to me and took out a cigarette from my pack. After he took a couple of drags, he put his arm around my shoulders and held me close.

"Is it safe to talk now?" I asked as he chuckled.

"I don't mind talking. Rose just likes to get under my skin," he said kissing my cheek. "What time do you have to leave by?"

"Probably in like an hour. I have to go to Sue's with my Dad," I told him as he rubbed my back.

I loved the little gestures that Edward made. He was always touching me in some way, and for the most part, always maintained a close proximity. It was comforting to me on a deep level.

"Who is Sue?"

"My dad's girlfriend. I met her last summer. She seems okay," I told him. "I think I'm going to meet her kids today. She has like four of them: three boys and a girl."

"Wow, that is a lot of kids. Do you think she and your Dad will get married?" he asked, playing with my fingers.

"If they do, I hope it is after I move out. I'm not good at sharing."

"It's not horrible having siblings," he said, kissing my neck.

"Yeah, when you grow up with them. Even the asshole my mother married didn't have any kids." I leaned into his kisses, moving my neck to the side to give him better access. "Shit, I really have never had any friends either. By the time I was old enough to date, I met James and never hung out with anyone else. I don't really think I can do the whole friend thing with Rose and Alice," I said, getting upset as he moved his lips away from my neck.

"Everything will be okay," Edward said, trailing one last lingering kiss to my jawline.

I nodded in agreement, finishing up my smoke. I truly believed him, that everything would work itself out. We had plans and we were going to go places. I just knew it. After we were done smoking, we went up to his room and I lay on his bed while he grabbed a quick shower. I wanted to offer to keep him company, but I was sure that if I did, not only would I be late meeting my Dad, but there was a good possibility I wouldn't show up at all.

I heard the bathroom door open and smiled as Edward came out in a towel. His hair was still dripping slightly, the water drops falling onto his chest and running down until they came to his happy trail, where they disappeared.

"I'm going to pick you up and bring you home from school," Edward said, forcing me to look at him instead of that lucky drop of water.

"Are you sure?" I asked, not wanting to put him out of his way. "I can drive m-"

"Of course I'm sure," he snapped, cutting me off. "If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have offered."

"Well, thank you," I replied. "That's very nice of you."

Edward turned his back to me to put his clothes on while I pouted discreetly. It wasn't like I hadn't seen it all before. Although, he did have a very nice ass.

I began gathering up my dirty clothes and getting my things ready to go. I knew that Edward wanted me to stay another night, but I wasn't sure my dad was going to allow it. As Edward finished getting ready, I went downstairs to find Rose. Finding her in the living room, I plopped down next to her on the couch and asked her to call me around dinner time. I told her that I would just ask my dad about the mall then. He would most likely not deny me if Rose was on the phone. I figured it would give me a reason to stay over a second night, and not have Charlie ask a hundred questions. After talking to Rose for a little longer, I went back to Edward's room to see what was taking him so long.

Walking into the room, I found Edward sitting on his bed looking pissed. Before I could ask him what was wrong, he threw something at me hitting me hard in the chest. Out of reflex, I caught the object, my eyes welling up with tears; it really hurt.

"What is your problem?" I asked him rubbing my chest.

I looked down at the object in my hands, and I saw that it was my cell phone. I realized in that moment why he was mad.

"Change your number," he said, getting off the bed and stalking towards me.

With every step he took, I took one backwards until my back was pushed into the wall behind me. Grabbing the hand that was clinging to the phone Edward growled. "I swear to god, Bella, if you text him one more time..." he said punching the wall right next to my head.

I didn't look to see if he punched through the plaster, though I was positive that he did. My eyes stayed glued on Edward's fierce ones, his green orbs darkening in rage with every second that passed.

"Edward, I can't not talk to him," I said as Edward started to chuckle darkly.

"Yes you can! Why do you want to talk to him?"

Our chests were pressed together, and despite the fight that was looming on the horizon, I couldn't help my body's reaction. My nipples pebbled painfully in my bra, and it took all my will power to not try and rub my thighs together to maintain some kind of friction.

"He's been in my life for two years. I can't just cut him off. He only texts me like once a day," I said as my phone started to ring. I looked down to see that it was James. Guess he just made a liar out of me.

"You have got to be kidding me!" he yelled, making me jump. "What?" he yelled into my phone after he roughly grabbed it out of my hand.

"Please, just stop and hang up," I said getting frustrated. I tried to grab the phone away from him, but he was faster and stronger than me. "Give me my..." he covered my mouth with his free hand and was able to pin me against the wall.

"No, you are not talking to her," Edward said into the phone. "Her number will be changed soon, so don't call again," he said hanging up the phone. "If you don't change your number, we are over. I will not put up with this shit."

A part of me felt that Edward was completely overreacting, but another side of me felt that his emotions were just.

"He's my friend," I argued lamely. Even as the words left my mouth, I knew they weren't going to fly with Edward.

I heard the thunk as he dropped my phone to the floor and instead brought out his own. "Well, if you can be friends with your past lovers, then I can too, right?" he asked, fiddling with the buttons on the damn thing.

Jealousy raged through me as he mentioned past lovers. He was right. If I could still talk to someone that I still had lingering feelings for...then it could go both ways. I didn't want that.

"You're right," I whispered, feeling tears poke at my eyes.

Edward had already explained to me about his ex and the fact that he caught her cheating on him. For him, this was the same thing, even if it wasn't to me. But, if this was something I had to do to stay with Edward, then I would do it.

"Who are you calling?" I asked as I walked over to him.

"A friend," he said as I rubbed my chest. It was going to bruise. "Hey Jess, it's Edward," he said smiling at me. "Oh nothing. Just lying in my bed. I'm bored."

I felt my blood boil as he kept eye contact with me as he talked to her. I had to do something, and I had to do something fast, or I was going to lose him forever.

I walked the rest of the way to him and did the only thing I could think of. I dropped to my knees and placed my hands on his thighs.

"I'm sorry," I whispered brokenly, tears beginning to spill from my eyes. "You're right. If me talking to James makes you feel even half of what I'm feeling right now, then I am so fucking sorry," I said, not even bothering to wipe my eyes.

"Please don't do this. I promise, it's only you from now on. No James. I won't talk to him again."

Edward kept his eyes on me, smiling just enough to show me that he was getting over his anger. I could only hope that he believed me and would take me back.

"Please, hang up," I whispered.

Without saying another word to 'Jess', he snapped his phone closed, reached down and picked me up off the ground by my arms.

Instinctively, my arms went around his neck and I buried my face in the crook of his neck, inhaling his smell. The smell that was just simply him. Nothing else.

I muttered words that even I didn't recognize, making promises that he was the only one for me as he rubbed my back, not saying a word.

"You are the one I want, Bella," Edward whispered after a few minutes, still rubbing my back. "But I won't have you talking to your past boyfriend. It may not seem like cheating to you, but to me, it is. And if you can't stay away from him, then you need to let me know now, because I won't tolerate you hiding him from me."

"No!" I exclaimed, looking up finally, and running my fingers under his eyes. He still looked so angry. "I'm through with James. You're right, he's my past. But you are my present and my future. I promise, I won't talk to him again. I'm yours, Edward," I declared. "Only yours."

Edward surprised me when he leaned in and captured my lips gently with his, being careful of that stupid cut of mine. "I can't be held responsible for my actions if I catch you talking to him or any other man again," he warned.

I nodded solemnly and leaned into his embrace. "I understand."

As I walked into the house, I was met by Charlie at the front door, ready to go. I noticed his smell first and tried not to cough up a lung as I tried to breathe through my mouth. He had way too much cologne on, and I couldn't seem to find clean air to breathe.

"Come on kid, don't be so dramatic," he chided.

I wished I was being dramatic. He smelled terrible! I rolled down the car window and stared out pensively as we drove to Sue's house. The thought of having to live with siblings scared me. I didn't know where we would live. Charlie's house was only three bedrooms and that seemed to be a little small. I knew that Sue's late husband, Billy, died three years ago. Don't get me wrong, I was glad that my father was moving on with his life, but why did he have to pick someone who had kids?

I wanted to ask my Dad what his intentions were in this relationship of his, but a part of me was too afraid of the answer I might get. What if he was thinking about marriage? There wouldn't be anything that I could do, nor want to do, to ruin any happiness that he might get...But damn, I was a selfish bitch and wasn't ready to share what was mine just yet.

Thankfully, before I could open my big mouth and ask him, Charlie ended the silence by asking me about my time at the Cullens.

"It was good," I replied easily. "I'm really liking Forks. I really like have girlfriends, that's something I've never had before. They wanted me to stay over again, but I told them I didn't know. They even invited me to go to the mall tomorrow. Did you know that I've never done something like that before?" I asked my dad.

"I'm glad. Bells, all I want is for you to be happy. The Cullen kids are great kids. Alice and Rose are the sweetest girls. I think they'll be good for you," he said with a smile. "You have my approval to go over there anytime you want, as long as I know where you are."

"Thanks, dad," I said with a smile.

He smiled back at me for a moment before his smile turned into a grimace. "Your lip looks worse," he noticed.

"Yeah, it split open again. I don't think it is ever going to heal," I said with a sigh.

"I hope that if someone ever hits you again, you'll come to me," he said sternly.

I just nodded my head. There was no use in trying to explain anything to him. He didn't understand and he never would. Instead, the rest of the ride was spent in silence. When we pulled into a driveway a few minutes later, I was shocked to see that Sue's house was smaller than ours.

As soon as we were at the door, Sue was there with open arms. I found it weird that she kissed my dad, though. As soon as she ushered us inside, I was quickly introduced to her kids; Leah was seventeen, Paul was eighteen, and Seth was fifteen. Right off the bat I didn't like Leah. She seemed snobby.

"Dinner is almost done. Do you like meatloaf?" Sue asked me.

"Meatloaf's cool," I said as my father followed her into the kitchen.

Seeing as how all the kids were in the living room, and not knowing how far my Dad and Sue would take their PDA in an empty kitchen, I figured the living room would be the lesser of the two evils at this time.

"You like to watch the news?" I asked, shocked.

"No, Seth has to watch it for one of his classes," Leah told me. "He should almost be done, I can't stand the news."

"Me either. The only thing I ever watch is the weather, and I usually look at that online," I said with a shrug.

Leah looked at me for a second before giving me a slight smile. "How are you liking it here?" she asked.

I shrugged. "Forks is growing on me."

She nodded for a moment, turning her attention back to the news, which was currently talking about some animal seen near town. "We should hangout sometime," she said out of the blue.

I was taken back from her forwardness, and slightly confused. What was it with this town and being chummy? I might not have been used to having girlfriends, or even someone my own age to talk to, but it was something that I was beginning to want after spending time with Rose and Alice.

"Um, sure," I replied, still somewhat caught off guard.

We were all called to the table once dinner was done. The kitchen table took up the whole dining room. We passed the food around the table and started to eat. I had only taken a couple of bites when Charlie started to talk. At first I thought he was going to start a family conversation that I never would've participated in, but I was wrong.

"Well, I wanted to do this alone, but at the same time, I wanted our kids to be as involved in this as possible. I wanted to wait for Jake, but who knows if that boy is even going to show up," my Dad stuttered. "But, then I realized that it didn't matter how I did this, all that matters is that I hopefully get a yes."

I watched then in horror as my Father dropped to one knee in front of Sue, his hand holding up a small black box. "Sue, will you make me the happiest man alive, and say yes to becoming my bride?" he asked.

Gasps were heard around the room, but it seemed like my own body was in shut down mode. All I could do was stare at the scene unfolding before me. Sue cried before finally nodding her head yes while she mumbled incoherently. I heard a door slamming from somewhere in the house, but I didn't pay any attention to it. I managed to clap along with the rest of the kids, still in shock. But a small smile broke across my face as I watched my Dad pick Sue up and spin her around in circles, peppering kisses all over her face. How could I not be happy when my Dad was the happiest I had ever seen him?

As soon as Sue was back on her feet, I followed Leah and Seth to offer my congratulations. I could worry about what I was going to do later. All that mattered right now, was showing my Dad the same support he had shown me lately.

"Do I smell meatloaf?" A voice rang out, scaring the hell out of me.

After willing my heart to return to its normal pace, I managed to ask, "who is that?"

"Jake," Leah said in a bored tone.

"Bells," I heard my dad say as a tall, tan man with dark black hair walked in.

"Bella, what are you doing here?" he asked confused.

And because God hates me, he had to bring him here of all places.

Enjoy the movie and we will be back next Friday! Teaser are posted on my facebook group and the link is on my profile.
