Another Beginning

Chapter 27

Confronting Bella and Edward and Harry have their first…

Edward drove the fastest; his tyre's leaving skid marks as they braked at corners before zooming off once more. Edward and Harry barely moved, if it had been a human they'd have been tossed left right and centre already. Normally it would take then ten fifteen minutes to get home, the family set a new record. They got back in five minutes; Esme was standing back a worried look on her face. Edward could hear her thoughts; Esme didn't want to grab her just in case Bella hurt herself on her. She was a vampire, as if she was made of stone. The bat wouldn't hurt her, but she was worried very badly about Bella's mental state. She needed calmed down, it's why she'd called Edward.

"Holy shit," said Jasper as soon as he caught sight of the Vanquish, he'd jumped out of the yellow car his wife had wanted. He could calm Bella down without the confrontation getting too heated. He'd passed Edward and Harry, and then he'd caught sight of the car and Isabella Swan. "Looks like she's beaten you to it Rosalie." Jasper said, wryly. Rosalie always threatened to harm Edward's special car, it hadn't always been the Vanquish but other cars over the years. She'd never actually did anything to them, she loved cars too much herself to ever mess with one. Her and Edward had bonded over cars, after she'd been turned.

Rosalie snarled and lunged for Bella, only to have Emmett stopping her, he scooped her over his shoulder. Not paying attention to Rosalie's screeching, "Put me down Emmett, damn you, let me have at her!" snarled the blonde furiously. Emmett remained silent as he led them both into their bedroom. He wished he could see the confrontation, but Rosalie came first. He couldn't let her harm Bella; the family wasn't ready to move.

"Bella…" said Alice looking at her once best friend stunned. Why had she done such a thing? She was hurting yes, but it didn't give her the right to take it out on Edward's most favoured possession. Fortunately it could be replaced; it would probably be better buying a new one, than trying to get the car fixed. It had been custom painted.

"Jasper, Alice, Esme can you please go in?" asked Edward staring at Bella, who was breathing heavily, a metal baseball bat still clutched in her hand. There were bricks in his car, where she'd smashed his windows with them. There wasn't an ounce of shame on her face, she was just angry glaring at them as if daring them to stop her.

The three vampires went inside, without a comment.

"Bella…why?" asked Edward, he'd never seen her act so recklessly before, she could have gotten cut or injured during her temper tantrum. Didn't she remember what happened the last time? She'd been hurt badly enough. He was so glad Harry was already a vampire; he didn't have to worry constantly about accidents. He still refused to look at his car; she had known where to hit him after all. His cars were his pride and joy, say what you will about boys and their toys but Edward loved his car. He hardly used it because he was so strong. He didn't want it ruined, yet it didn't matter now, his hood, trunk and sides were spectacularly dented, all windows smashed in and to top it off she'd slashed his tires. His paintwork was ruined; there was nothing salvageable about the car. His heart clenched in pain just seeing it, to think he'd loved someone capable of this? He didn't understand it at all. Humans they were so bloody impulsive. If he allowed himself to act like that she'd have already been drained dry three years ago along with his entire biology class.

"I hate you," she screamed angrily, her voice was hoarse which meant she'd been screaming for quite some time.

"I don't blame you for hating me Bella…but I couldn't live a lie it isn't fair to me or you," said Edward quietly, he was acting more like a disappointed father than an angry boyfriend. Which was unfortunately setting Bella off even more.

"You said you loved me for three years! Yet as soon as he comes along," she said sneering nastily at Harry, "You forget all about me!"

"I never said I loved you for three years Bella, love doesn't bloom overnight," said Edward unable to help pointing out a flaw in her convictions. He wanted to say something about her sneering at Harry. He didn't like that, but Harry didn't seem the slightest bit bothered so he held his tongue for now.

"It did for her," said Harry, "The day after she found out you were a vampire she thought she was deeply and irrevocably in love with you."

The gaping look on Bella's face gave away that Harry was indeed speaking the truth. She couldn't have been more stunned, how did he know that? HOW COULD HE KNOW? Nobody could read her thoughts, nobody! Even Edward couldn't. What kind of gift did this vampire have that he could see so deeply into her thoughts from three years ago?

"Bella…that's not love," said Edward, his face pained, had she only been with him because of what he was? Had she even genuinely loved him or the part of him that could make her immortal? He felt sick just thinking about it, he didn't want to think about it. The way Harry said it, he'd been quoting Bella, and it wasn't how Harry spoke at all. Who other than an avid reader, like Bella would know the word irrevocably? Her romance novels though and through. The worst thing was Jasper wouldn't be able to tell him. He'd never know if Bella loved him or…the monster. It was a very sobering through and it made him feel very unlovable.

"Ed, stop thinking about it, if you're anything like me you'll be blaming yourself…for things that you cannot bloody help." said Harry speaking so lowly that Bella probably didn't even hear him.

Edward sighed, Harry was right, he couldn't anything, but he was sure glad he knew. It made him feel less guilty, surprisingly. Normally Edward would brood for days before he came to his senses. It made him feel better about their break up, to think he might have turned someone who only wanted to be a vampire. Would she have stayed with him? Or would she have run from the family when the quickest opportunity presented itself. That would have left him heartbroken, Harry had been a blessing in disguise from the second he Apparated into the garden.

"I did love you! With all my heart and soul!" screeched Bella.

"This is how you are repaying him?" asked Harry incredulity written across his face.

"Shut up! This has nothing to do with you, it's between me and Edward go away!" she hissed at him furiously, her face was red with suppressed anger she had yet to unleash.

"How can you say you loved him…when you kissed another man? Then proceeded to choose him over Edward when he was just trying to keep you safe? The second he dumped you what did you do? Went straight to him." said Harry scornfully. He couldn't help but defend Edward, it wasn't in his nature to sit back and let things happen.

Bella went for Harry, arms flailing wildly as if she wanted to scratch his face off. Harry didn't move, but Bella didn't get a chance to get near him. Edward trapped her arms against her body and her body against his. Stopping herself from ending up with broken bones, Bella had always been frail. She hit Harry once she'd break quite a few bones he knew that.

"Stop it," snapped Edward "Jasper some help please?" he asked his brother, and Bella's jerking and straining lessened before stopping as she fell unconscious. Jasper had put her to sleep; it wasn't the first time either.

"She can't stay here Edward," said Harry quietly.

"I can't leave her out here can I?" said Edward he wasn't that much of a bastard.

"Edward…she will think you still love her, that you want her back…and she will never learn. She has to start taking responsibility for her actions, and no I don't mean paying for the damage to the vanquish…" said Harry sensibly, but seeing Edward flinch at the mention of his car, Harry walked towards it. He looked at it thoughtfully, a frown marring his features…could he fix it? He'd never tried to fix a damaged car before. Just thing's like a snapped quill, or vials and such.

"Drive my Volvo behind me then," said Edward; putting Bella into her red van, he hated driving the damn thing. It was far too loud for his tastes; he'd wanted to buy Bella a car for that very reason. That wasn't roadworthy in his opinion, and he'd hated Bella being in it for fear of her having an accident. It was something that Bella hadn't at least been with him for his money. Otherwise she would have accepted anything he offered to buy her. When Harry was still standing by the Vanquish with a thoughtful look once he shut Bella's car door, he walked over. "What is it?" he thought perhaps there was writing on it. As soon as he rounded it he saw there wasn't, but Harry had his wand out.

"Stand back," said Harry taking a few feet back himself, Edward stood beside Harry curiously. Harry couldn't possibly be able to fix his car could he? His heart leaped into his throat in hope; if he could he'd make it up to him…tonight.

Then in awe, he watched Harry mutter one little word in Latin…then it happened bit by bit. The shards of glass that had once been a window began to fit back together like a puzzle. Until it was whole and strong once more, then the metal began to 'bang' back into place. Edward looked in awe, it was amazing, he ran his hand over the paintwork, it looked brand new the few marks that had been on it before were gone. Then Harry muttered the same spell again on his wheels, the car was perfect once more. It was as if they entire thing hadn't taken place at all.

"Thank you," he said his voice held so much gratitude and awe Harry grinned in amusement, yeah he'd been like that for a year at least…maybe two when he first discovered he was a wizard. Despite all the bad things that happened, magic had truly been the best thing to ever happen to him.

"You can make it up to me tonight," said Harry slyly, tugging at Edward's shirt, his fingers teasingly crawling up his chest, he playfully tweaked Edward's nipples, only to be squashed against Edward's chest and his mouth plundered by a very aggressive vampire. Eventually though Edward tore himself away, as if he'd gotten a little more carried away than he'd intended. Harry pouted, he actually pouted, but he was a New Born vampire…all his emotions were extremely sensitive these days.

"We better get her home," said Edward seemingly ignoring Harry's pout. "Here." he said giving Harry the keys to his Volvo. It was harder than he thought to walk away from Harry; the keys to Bella's truck were still in it. Starting the noisy engine he began to drive Bella home - hoping the spell would last long enough. Thankfully Charlie shouldn't be home, he'd still be working. He kept an eye on the mirror making sure Harry was still following him. Which wasn't hard to do, considering he wasn't going very fast in this piece of junk. How Charlie could buy his daughter something so scrap yard worthy he didn't know.

Harry stayed in the Volvo, turning off the engine and hopped into the passenger side. While Edward parked Bella's car, closed the door, opened the passenger side, grabbed Bella and locked the car before taking her inside. He took the sleeping girl to her bedroom, and put her into bed. Edward carded his hand through her hair, "I'm sorry Bella," he said before he turned and left closing the door behind him.

He had loved Bella; she'd always have a place in his heart. Unfortunately he wasn't going to live a lie, and let her turn herself to be with him when he didn't love her. Sighing he shook his head ruefully; hopefully most of Bella's anger was gone now she'd done some anger management. He'd keep an eye on her for the next few days, until he knew she'd calmed down. He'd have been really angry with her still…if his car hadn't been fixed. Fortunately it was, and the car would have been easily replaceable, they had more money than they knew what to do with. He wondered as he walked out…if Harry would let him buy a car. Maybe he should just wait and give it to him as a present…for Christmas or his birthday. That way he couldn't really refuse it, grinning smugly at his thoughts he joined Harry in the Volvo.

"Don't blame yourself," said Harry quietly as if he knew what Edward was thinking.

"I'm not I promise." he swore. "How did you know what she thought? Was it a guess?" asked Edward.

"You aren't the only one who has the ability to read people's minds," grinned Harry wickedly.

"You can read mine?" asked Edward, it wasn't accusatory it was more curiosity than anything else.

"If I wanted to yes, it's called Legilimency the ability to read one's mind, shielding your mind is Occlumency, Severus taught me it." said Harry.

Edward smiled at the thought of the man, he rather missed his sarcastic comments, mostly uttered under his breath by the end of their visit rather than outright where everyone could hear it. Lily Evans had worked a miracle on Severus' Snape's attitude. Not that Edward could blame him; he'd been though a lot. He'd learned a lot about Severus, especially as a young boy when Lily had known him best. Harry had told him about the fact Severus used to spy, and do things he'd rather not…which had toughened and hardened the school teacher up. He also knew Harry thought of Severus as a hero, his own saviour and a parent. He'd been the only one to bring Harry down, ground him and try to punish him for breaking the rules. While everyone else just let him away with everything. Harry hadn't appreciated it at the time of course, just his later years when he finally grew up and understood the world wasn't black and white. Even being attacked by Voldemort hadn't made Harry realize the world was black and white. It' when he realized sometimes people didn't have choices, that Death Eaters didn't have choices. Either family pressure, loneliness or bad childhoods could have led them there. No the world was fifty shades fucked up and all grey. There really wasn't a light wizard, and it wasn't as simple as labelling someone as a dark wizard.

"I thought all things needed a spell?" asked Edward.

"Not always, reading ones mind only requires eye contact, Sev I'm convinced used to do it all the time…sneaky bugger." said Harry not at all angry at the fact his mind had been read. Of course he wasn't meaning the time Severus actually used the spell, but times where he'd looked him in the eye during his first to fourth year.

"Did she love me or was it…what I am?" asked Edward his hands clenched on the wheel.

"She fell in love with the vampire first, but she did love you Edward," said Harry honestly. "You couldn't be with someone for three years and not fall especially not someone like you." he finished wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Thank you," said Edward, not wanting to talk about it anymore, he didn't want Harry thinking he still loved her. He didn't still love Bella, not the way he used to and it had been waning even before Harry came…Harry had just helped him realize it. He didn't want Harry to start thinking he regretted it so he vowed to say no more.

"It's okay," said Harry as if he understood.

It was ten o'clock at night; Edward and Harry were in their bedroom, as were each of the Cullen's. All of them doing their own thing, but of course the others always tried to block it out …especially all noises coming from Rosalie and Emmett's room.

"I thought you wanted to make it up to me," said Harry lying spread eagle across the bed. It had been Bella's, he'd never gotten rid of it and Harry liked lying on it so he doubted he would. The others all had beds, but Edward had never had a need for one.

Edward crawled up towards Harry, laying himself out across Harry's body. Harry wasn't too hot like Bella always was. Harry also didn't feel fragile to him like she had; he still couldn't believe how refreshing it was not to worry about breaking someone. Intertwining their fingers, he placed them above Harry's head. "Just what did you have in mind?" Edward whispered into Harry's ear, seductively. He could feel how turned on Harry was already. He was so easy to please; then again they'd all been like that after just being turned. Rosalie and Emmett had hardly left their room, and he wasn't going to think on Esme and Carlisle - if he slept back then - it would have given him nightmares. It wasn't something you wanted to think about parent figures.

Harry flipped them over, very gracefully the bed groaned in protest. Harry's green eyes stared into Edward's before he clashed their mouths together, desperately. He'd never had a boyfriend before, too busy trying to save the world. He had experimented though, but never gone all the way. He'd wanted to keep that small part of himself for someone that didn't want the boy who lived. He'd found him of course, and he was ready.

Their clothes were ripped and torn from one another in their frenzy; it was nothing more than bucket fodder now. Or it would have been, had Harry not been a wizard. Grinding himself down against an answering hardness. Their teeth banged against one another's in their bid to dominate. Edward found an opening and had Harry flipped back onto the bed, which lurched even more in protest.

"Top or bottom?" asked Harry tearing his mouth away to ask his need was becoming too much for him to handle.

Edward stiffened noticeable; Harry blinked in confusion what the hell was wrong with Edward? He stopped grinding against Edward, rather concerned.

"I can't," said Edward looking regretful.

"What do you mean you can't?" asked Harry it came out a whine, he couldn't believe Edward would let it go this far then stop!

"I've always wanted to wait until I was married…it was customary in my time." said Edward almost sheepishly.

"You better be fucking kidding!" yelped Harry his face openly displaying his shock.

"No," said Edward solemnly.

"Don't you dare touch me Edward Antony Masen Cullen, or I'll snap more than fingers or a wrist," snapped Harry standing up. Walking away from Edward, to stop the vampire touching him again.

"Where are you going?" asked Edward rather alarmed, he hadn't expected Harry to react like this. Bella hadn't and he couldn't help compare them, they were the only people he'd had a relationship with.

"To have a fucking cold shower you stupid wanker, its something you should have mentioned a little earlier don't you think?! Don't touch me again." snapped and warned Harry walking into the bathroom that thankfully ensuite in Edward's room. Harry slammed the door shut cursing angrily, muttering about gelding him…or removing it altogether…that took care of Edward's little problem very quickly. Sure that Harry could actually do it…he was magical after all.

Every member of the Cullen family was stifling their laughter and amusement in their rooms. Eventually though they couldn't keep it in anymore, hearing Harry's constant angry muttering. Emmett was the first to break, then the others followed. Poor Edward, it was a good thing he couldn't die from embarrassment otherwise he'd already have done so.

OOOOooo whats gonna happen next? lmaooo will bella show up again? if so what will she destroy next? will harry ever let edward touch him? who will be the first to give in? harry and accept edwards terms or will edward break first? will harry employ his slytherin nature to help along the way to breaking edward? or will he kidnap him and marry them so he can finally get what he wants? do we hear vegas in the future chapters...? LMAOOO tell me what you think of this chapter :D i had a right laugh reading it xD hehe R&R PLEASE!
