"How can anyone eat that? It's smells and looks disgusting." I couldn't contain the laughter that escaped my mouth.

"Emmett, I can't very well eat what you eat. Well, how you eat it at least."

It's been an interesting week after everything that's been going on. Edward has been ignoring Bella but he would always stare at her from a distance. I even told him he needed to tone down his starring obsession because it was going over towards stalker alert. I would also catch Bella starring at Edward too. Honestly, the amount that these two just stare at each other is starting to creep me out.

Not only has Edward been acting creepy, he was being a jerk too. Bella had dropped her keys on the ground the other day and of course Edward was there to pick them up for her. But he had to ruin the moment by telling her they shouldn't be friends and for her to stay away from him. Like that was going to help, they were bio partners after all. Not to mention her curiosity always got the better of her.

It's been a week since we last saw the wolves and I was glad that we didn't hear or see anything from them. I knew though that they would be taking a closer look at us because of me.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm worth all of this drama. I put us in danger of not only the Volturi but with the wolves as well. If I didn't become a vampire, the Volturi would kill us. And if I did become a vampire, the wolves would kill us. So whatever the outcome is, we all will end up dead either way.

I sensed my nerves changing from nervous and self-doubt into calm. I looked up at Jasper and I knew he could sense what I was thinking. I couldn't handle his knowing stare so I got up from the table and walked over to the salad bar.

I was starting to put lettuce and tomatoes in my bowl when I was interrupted from my thoughts.

"Um..Hi. Sophie right?" Startled I looked up to see none other than Bella Swan standing in front of me.

"Oh. Hi. Yes, that's me." I looked down and noticed that she was putting vegetables in her bowl also. I didn't know what to say to Bella. There were tons of what I wanted to say but nothing was coming to mind.

"Your brother is starting to give me whip lash."

"Oh really?" Bella Swan was actually having a conversation with me. This was new.

"Yea. I hope I'm not over stepping anything but I can't help but to notice you and your family."

One of my eyebrows rose at that. "Everyone at this school notices us. We try to keep to ourselves."

"Yes, which makes me wonder why Edward saved me from that van." My heart started to pick up a little. Oh crap. She's even more clever than I gave her credit for.

"You'll have to ask him that because I can't answer that for you."

"Why does it seem that only you eat when the rest of your family doesn't." Crap. Crap. Crap.

"Um..."

"Sophie. Rosalie wants to ask you a question. Why don't you head back to our table." In this moment I could kiss Edward for saving me. I nodded and whispered a thank you which only he could hear.

I made it to our table and noticed Rosalie was glaring daggers at Bella as usual. Her eyes softened when they landed on me.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. She's more clever than I originally thought she was."

"I can't believe she would stoop so low to corner you in order to get answers."

"Rose, I'm fine."

"I still don't like it."

I just sighed and started to eat my salad. Once she was like this way, there was no calming her down.

I looked up to see Edward walking back over to us. He looked troubled and I knew what was about to happen.

"You ok? Why the long face?"

"I'm fine. I'm just concerned."

"About?" He looks me in the eyes and sighs again.

"Bella invited me to go down to the La Push beaches this weekend." Well, guess Bella's going to figure out my families secret pretty soon.

Edward has been agitated the last couple of days. Bella went to La Push over the weekend, and we couldn't go over there.

Today was Monday and we weren't at school today. The sun was out and since my family were vampires they couldn't go out into the sun unless they decided to expose themselves.

Whenever the sun was out I would stay home with my family. I didn't want to be the only one at school and Rosalie would be constantly worried about me.

"What's on your mind?" I looked up to see Edward looking at me.

"Nothing really. It's kind of nice not having to go to school." Edward smiled before walking over to me.

"You know I don't need to be a mind reader to tell when your lying. What's really going on?" Crap. He knew me too well.

"You've been agitated lately because you have been worrying about Bella. I'm concerned because I don't want you to do something reckless and stupid that could hurt you."

Edward released an unnessasry breath before smiling. "I'm fine really. Just this whole wanting to be around Bella has me on edge."

"I can tell that you like her. Even if the family doesn't approve, you need to be happy. I have seen how you push her away in order to protect her from you but it's been making you miserable."

"You don't need to worry about that. It's hard to be around her yes, but I can't seem to stay away from her."

"Then talk to her. Get to know her without treating her like she's a pest. It would be easier for the both of you to just be friends. You also need to stop watching her sleep at night. It's kind of creepy and borderline stalkerish."

Edward let out a laugh that I haven't heard in a while. "You always do know how to surprise me."

I am so sorry for the long wait. I've been busy at school and didn't know how to approach this chapter. I'm in my senior year of college so everything has been hectic. I have realized that there are some errors in this story. Like the previous chapter when I said Emmett wasn't there when the treaty was made. There are also some spelling errors that I intend to correct also. I am still writing this story and will edit it along the way also. Not sure when I will get to that though. Also, with this story I am using events that were in the books and movies. Like some things that were in the books that didn't make the movies will be in this story. Thank you again for reading my story and can't wait to continue writing it. I don't own Twilight, I only own Sophie. Thank you again for reading!
