I looked up at him and he smiled. I could not help, but to smile back myself. He seemed so nice. I didn't know how he and Alice could do something to me. I guess it was not un-normal though. Everyone else did it.

Those few moments I got of her being happy was amazing. It made me want to helo her so much more. There was nothing I wanted more than for the woman I love to be alright. To be happy.

I could not wait till tomorrow.

In the morning I waited in my Volvo for Bella to get to school. I had spied on her yet again the night before. She was safe from Charlie that night and I went so far as to actually sit in her room.

She whispered my name in her sleep. Thankfully this time it was not out of terror. She seemed content.

When I saw Bella walk up I jogged up to her. She was looking down and did not notice me. I walked behind her for a little while. She stepped onto the first step leading to the school building and started to trip. With my vampire speed I grabbed her around the waist. I pulled her back up and she took a few automatic steps back.

"Hi Edward." She said in her sweetly.

"Hello Bella. How are you?" I asked. She turned and started to walk into the building with me in pursuit.

"I'm okay. And you?"

"I've been better." I said truthfully. I was fine to tell the truth, it just hurt me to see Bella in pain.

"I'm sorry to hear that." She said smiling up at me.

"Don't worry about me. I will be fine." I wanted to hold her in my arms and it was aggravating that I could not. I just hoped and hoped that I could get closer to her soon. I also hoped that she could love me back.

We walked into class together and took our seats as the teacher started class. I was not focused on the lecture, but on Bella.

What is love after all if only one person feels it? Then when I thought about it why would Bella love me? I am a monster after all. Just another one trying to invade her life. Of course I wanted to help instead of hurt, but still I was a monster.

And if she did love me, would she after she found out who I was? That I was a vampire. Damned to a eternity. Was there a chance that this wonderful, amazing, breathtaking girl could love me?

I found my self completely absorbed in the thought of Bella and I together, and when the bell rang I nearly jumped out of my seat.

I went to my next class and then the next.

When the day was finally over I went up to Bella at her locker. Alice, having her visions, knew that Bella would feel uncomfortable shopping for clothes, so we were going to go car shopping. I made the mistake of betting against Alice and this was the price I had to pay. Rose had also baled out when she learned that human was coming. She did not care who it was, if they took the attention away from her, she would find something else to do.

"Hello Bella." I said, greeting the angel.

"Hi Edward." She said, looking down and blushing. I smiled.

"Rose is not going to be able to come and instead of clothes shopping, Alice and I were wondering if you would mind going car shopping." She looked up at me for the first time. I sucked in a breath. She was so pretty, yet fragile.

"No problem. I'm not really a fan of clothes shopping anyway." She said, giving me a forced smile.

"Good. Alice will met us at the car." I said as she followed me out. When we reached my car I opened the door for her and she slid in. Alice came up from behind me and slid into the back seat. I checked her brain for any recent visions and came up empty.

I got in myself and heard Alice greet Bella. I pulled out and built up the speed till I was going my normal 120. I glanced over at Bella to see a panic stricken face. That is when I let Alice's screaming into my head.

EDWARD slow down!!

I immediately started to slow down. I glanced over at Bella to see her looking at me.

"Sorry. I like to drive fast." I said. There was no excuse for my behavior. I should have known better. I should be more careful.

"I noticed." She said, obviously still shocked.

The ride was pretty quiet. When we got to the Port Angeles car lot Alice sped off to the most expensive car she could find. Bella and I went slower, behind her. Alice was looking at a 2008 yellow Porsche. It was a fast car and perfect for Alice. I didn't care to much for the price tag though. I had the money, but I didn't want to spend it on Alice. Right next to the Porsche was a 1965 white fire bird with a huge blue bird on the front.

I could see Bella looking over at it.

"You like it?" I asked her, smiling.

"Yeah." She said, smiling up at me. I had never seen her happy for more than a few seconds and it was nice to have a change. I walked up to it and she followed. I popped the hood and started to look at the engine. It had been completely redone. A brand new engine that could go fast than my Volvo.

I closed it and watched what Bella was doing. She took her finger and dragged it against the length of the car. When she got to the door she opened it up and slid inside. It was amazing how much she was smiling. I never wanted it to disappear. I pulled my eyes away though to see what Alice was up to, letting her thoughts invade my head.

OMG! I want this Porsche Edward! I want it! This is it!!! YAY!

I rolled my eyes and a sales man walked up just in time. I left Bella and Alice alone so I could g and do business. I was sure Alice had something up her sleeve though.

Thanks!
