Chapter 3

SM owns it all not me.

We were all at our dining room table sitting. Carlisle at the head then Esme to his right then Alice and me, to his left sat Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper. Everyone looked at something besides each other. Carlisle looked confused.

"Alice you called the meeting so why don't you explain why?" So Alice called it? Why..

"Well there's a new kid at school-"

"Edward Mason? Elizabeth's kid?" Carlisle interrupted

"Yes. Well I've had visions of him… and Bella." Everyone stared at me. Esme gasped. Rosalie snarled. "I had visions all day monday of how they were going to meet. It kept changing with everyone wanting to talk to the new kid. However the one thing that didn't was them meeting. It was like it was inevitable, every time something something came in the way they made decisions not even noticing that they were bringing themselves closer to each other. It was odd and yet so fascinating to watch." Alice must of been lost in thought because she stopped talking and everyone was looking at me. I coughed and looked away. "So once they met I started getting more visions.. some were just little conversations in the near future and others were glimpses of the future further on after high school.." everyone looked lost in thought. After high school? We would have to move how could Edward be in those visions..

"What. Do. You. Mean. After. High. School?!" Rosalie stood glaring at Alice and I. I turned to Alice wanting to know the same.

"All I see in both their futures are each other constantly. I see Edward coming here meeting Carlisle And Esme. I see them out on dates, I see them at school holding hands..." Alice trailed off.. I. Was. Stunned. Me and Edward? He would want me like that?

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? WELL THIS IS GOING TO GO GREAT WHEN SHE EATS HIM. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE THEM TOGETHER! IF SHE SLIPS WE RISK EXPOSURE. I SAY WE TAKE HIM OUT NOW." Rosalie was livid. I couldn't help it a growl ripped out of my throat.

"You will not touch him." I stared her down ready to pounce. I don't care if she was my sister, I won't let her hurt that boy. Jasper tried desperately to calm the situation.

"No one is going to hurt the boy" Carlisle promised. Rosalie Shot him a glare but backed off making me able to relax.. a bit. "We need more information. Bella would you mind sharing your feelings for this boy?" He gave me a small smile, if i didn't know any better i'd say he's happy. I breathed deeply for moment even though it's not necessary for me.

"I don't know.. I feel very strongly about making sure he's safe, I think about him constantly, He's never scared of me even when i show my teeth, and when he touches me its like theres an electric current." I put my head in my hands this is getting embarrassing. I felt arms wrap around me and saw Esme. She kissed my head and told me she was happy and loved me no matter what happend. Typical mom.

"It seems this Edward is her mate. We will not hurt him in any way. But Bella can you handle him being human? Is it safe?" He didn't sound mad just… worried for me. Could I handle it? Being close to him and smelling his blood move under his skin. Hearing his steady heartbeat..

"Or change him. I need someone new to wrestle." We all looked at Em. How i didn't lunge for him I'm not sure but i growled and hissed. Change him? No. Doom him to an eternity of being a monster just to have him close. I'm not that shellfish.

"NO." It won't happen.

"It'll happen. I'm not sure when or how but it will happen. His future is clear I can see him running in the forest with Bella and his eyes are blood red." She spoke softly I assume trying to not make me have a panic attack but how could i not? I won't do that to him. To think of him never blushing again, To not stare back in those captivating emerald green eyes. but then again to share my world with him and never let him go, to be near him and not crave his blood. That would be the most selfish thing i've ever done.

"This is so you to fall in love with a human." Rosalie blurted out. No I won't do it. I'll stay away from him. That hurt me physically but if it's best for him I'll do it.

"No!" Alice screamed. "You can't stay away from him it'll hurt him too." She turned to me. "You can't do that Bella."

"Watch me." I got up and left. I ran outside and kept going. How could i destroy such a beautiful boy. I won't. I kept Running until i got to Alaska. We had family friends here they drink animal blood as well, the only other vampires that do. I'll stay here until he's graduated and moved on. He's supposed to find a girl and marry, have kids, a good normal human life. I wont take that away. No matter how much it hurts me.

I knocked on their door and Tyler answered. Great. He was kate and irina's brother the Denali coven. Over the years they found Carmen and Eleazer. I asked if i could stay a while not bothering to tell them why. They didn't budge though and allowed it. I went to hunt that night and everyday, gorging myself because it's easier to let the animal in me take over rather than think. All I think of is him. I miss my family but how can i risk exposure? They've earned their peace and Edward deserves A happy full life. A couple of days have passed it was friday now and I was sitting in the living room with Tyler.

"Aren't you going to tell us why you left? I mean I'm not complaining but you look like something is on your mind." i sighed Tyler always liked me. He made that known decades ago but i didn't return his interest. That didn't stop him from trying though.

"I don't know Tyler. i guess I just got bored of everyday trying to be something i'm not." I don't want to tell him about how i fell for a human.

"Don't you miss your family? You guys don't usually split up." That's true we always stayed together. Sometime different houses but always together. Esme hates to leave any of us.

"Yes I do. Esme is probably worried." He gave me a grin.

"She's called everyday you've been here asking about you." I sighed. She always worried for her children. Me especially she was worried Carlisle turned me too soon and I wouldn't find my mate i've been alone for so long now. Maybe i should go back.. It's not like I have to speak to him and i would get to see him, from a distance. I won't be friends with him but i'll keep an eye on him. Protect him.

"I think i will go back. I don't want her to worry." He smiled at me and walked towards me once i stood. He came a bit too close and ran his hand along my cheek. It felt wrong, he wasn't warm and soft.

"I would love it if you stayed Bella. It's been some years and I just want to show you you can be happy with me. I won't hurt you or leave you." He took ahold of my face and leaned down to kiss me. My whole body shot up in protest. Edwards face plastered everywhere in my brain.

"Stop." He did and looked in my eyes, his were full of hurt. "Im sorry Tyler I just don't feel the same." I dashed out. Leaving him standing there with his hand still stretched out to hold my face. But it didn't feel right. I've never kissed anyone and now I only wanted to kiss one boy with emerald green eyes. I ran back home snagging a mountain lion on my way to stall. Once I was in the forest's edge by the house I stopped. Home. Why did I now feel like something was missing? I sighed and shook my head, walking closer to the house. Esme came running out and grabbed me in a tight hug she kissed my forehead.

"Please don't leave again. Everything will be okay darling." She gave me a signature mom smile and dashed off. But I could see her worry for me. I walked in the house and didn't see my siblings. School was over an hour ago.. I could hear Carlisle in his study and went to him.

"Where is everyone?" He looked up and smiled brightly at me. I know it hurt them when i left but i needed to clear my head-not that i had much luck.

"They went hunting, Alice said there were some mountain lions around." I now remembered we had plans to go hunting this weekend. He noticed my foul mood and started talking.

"Bella you're a smart, beautiful, talented, young lady. I love you very much and will support you but you have to choose, my dear. Will you stay with us and keep up appearances or are you going to leave us again?" His voice never wavered when he spoke but i could hear the hurtness in it.

"I'm staying. I'm going to leave Edward alone from now on and allow him to have a normal human life." I couldn't keep the sadness from my voice. He saw through me and tried to persuade me to just try. But how could I corrupt such a perfect person..

I went to my room just listening to linkin park. I just kept worrying about Edward. What if he fell downstairs or hit by a bus or got sick? I became what I am because of the Spanish influenza, so I know being sick can kill a human. There's so many things that could go wrong. I was so distant I didn't notice Carlisle standing in front of me.

"Bella talk to Alice, it's about Edward." I was already putting the phone to my ear.

"Bella! It's Edward. He's in danger in 48 minutes he'll get hit by a car. You have to go to Port Angeles I'll text you his location." I was already speeding out of forks in Carlisle's Mercedes he had a full tank of gas so I wouldn't have to stop.

"How did this happen Alice?" Could she even hear my voice? Even for a vampire it would've been hard to hear me. I was on the verge of breaking. Couldn't cope if I lost him. Even though I wouldn't hold him back from being a human with human experiences did not mean I wouldn't watch out for him. Protect him. He needed protection, right now proved it. If I pushed down on the peddle anymore I would break it.

"He went out with his friends, but then decided to go check out a music store alone, when he leaves a drunk driver will run a red light. I see you getting there in time Bella, but he's going to see you stop the car." I could hear Rosalie in the background ripping out trees and screaming out of anger towards me, but I didn't care. I'd gladly take death if I lost my angel. Alice sounded sad, but for possibly losing me or Edward getting hurt.. I'm risking exposure.

"If something happens just know this is on me. The rest of the family isn't doing this. I chose this. It won't be on you. Don't stop me Alice." I had to save him no matter my existence. She sighed.

"I would never stop you from saving your mate Bella, He won't tell anyone I know that. It's just.. well I've seen him Bella and we're going to be close.. I love him too." The phone went dead because I crushed it out of shock. I felt it crumble and fall on my shirt, lap, and floor, still I didn't care. She loves him… too. Too. I love Edward. But he could never love someone like me. Then it hit me. "He won't tell anyone" why wouldn't he tell someone that he saw a girl stop a car that was going to hit him. Probably because he's scared of me of us.. of what I am. I didn't want him to be scared. I don't think my anxiety is going to calm down until I see his face and hear that voice. The rest of the ride was a blur. Luckily Alice saw i ruined my phone and Carlisle had his in the car, i checked the location. Finally i was parking the car something so insignificant, at a time like this I hate appearing to be human. I saw the music store he was in and decided to go in and stall. Maybe this will be the last time we talk. Why does that feel like my dead heart broke.
