I see more followers, that is awesome! Keep 'em coming. The only request I have is, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

*Stephenie Meyer owns all things Twilight. I'm just here having fun with her characters. No copyright infringement intended.

*Any reference to the Atlanta Braves and the Savannah College is used for fun, with no harm or copyright infringement intended. I just happen to LOVE the Braves and the school mentioned is one of the best in Georgia.

*I don't have a beta, so all mistakes are mine.

The Voice Inside My Head

By Morgan Jenson

Morgan POV

"What the hell was that?" I ask aloud. Obviously I don't expect an answer as I'm alone at home.

I've heard other writers comment or post in an A/N that a character has gotten carried away from them before, but this is something else!

When I sat back down to write, I was going in a completely different direction, but then her past came up, and the end result included nothing I initially wanted to write.

That whole BJ and chicken thing is something that actually happened, at least parts of it, but it happened in my life to my friend, not Stephanie.

"Talk about writing what you know, to the extreme!" I say aloud, again. I think I'm going crazy now.

I get up from the desk, needing to move around a bit, and get to a more comfortable spot to start writing again. After I stretch, I grab my laptop and lay with my feet stretched out in front of me, with my back against the headboard and the laptop on my lap.

It's been a week or so since I started writing and it's brought on a lot of different emotions. The characters are not me, they are simply characters in a story. They are becoming more though, they are evolving. Bella now has a past and she's coming to life. It's surreal.

The moment she had with Edward, the words just flowed. To have a moment like that! I want her to have more moments like that. I want her to have everything she dreams of. I know life is not a fairytale, there will be ups and downs, but the way they first noticed one another has me wishing I had a moment too.

Bella POV - 1997

Angela and I head out of the stadium and to a nearby restaurant/bar. The place is crowded and the vibe is amazing, and is full of Braves fans celebrating the win.

Looking around, I spot a small opening at the bar, and show Angela. "Let's go." I say, as I grab her hand so we don't lose each other in the crowd

With us both being under 21, we each order a soda after waiting only a few minutes to be served.

"Angela, I can't believe how today went. Between the game and Cullen noticing me. Please tell me I'm not crazy." I practically beg.

"You're not crazy!" She pauses and I take a deep breath thinking there's a but coming and she continues. "But"

"I knew there was a but." I say, interrupting her.

"Yes, there is a but. You are not crazy, but you are lucky."

She pauses, leaving me hanging.

"You're lucky, because he's here." She states casually.

I want to believe she means Cullen, that he's here. I'm looking at her and her face is giving nothing away. There's the slightest movement to her eyes, as they shift quickly behind me over my left shoulder. I immediately turn to look over my shoulder and see him looking at me. Again!

Without looking back at Angela, I ask, "how long has he been there, looking this way?"

"Since we ordered our drinks." She answers calmly, like it's the most natural thing in the world. That it's common, for a pro athlete to stare at us, to walk over to us.

"Wait, he's walking over here!" I turn quickly and face Angela and I know the second he's behind me as I feel this current, like a jolt to my body. I've never felt anything like this in my life. I feel the heat radiating off of him, he's that close!

"Excuse me, ladies." I hear his smooth voice say.

I'm sure I'm blushing, but I have to look, I have to see it for myself. I feel so out of my element and unsure. But if this is the only time I might ever have this chance, I have to snap out of it.

Taking a deep breath and squaring my shoulders, trying to exude more confidence than I currently have, I slowly turn to face him on my stool.

I smile, what I hope is a smile and not a grimace, and he's smiling back. I bite my lip and say, "hi."

"Hi, I'm Edward," he responds while sticking his hand out to take mine.

"I'm Bella," I say, putting my hand in his.

A shock goes through me as we touch and I swear if we weren't in public I'd jump him here and now. Well, if he offered, public sex may be an option. My god he's hot.

"Thank you," I hear him say and he chuckles.

"Shit, I swear I have no filter." He chuckles again and is smiling bigger now. "I didn't mean to say that aloud," I continue.

I realize we're still holding hands, neither one of us has let go, and we're both just smiling at each other.

"Ahem"

I turn my head back at Angela's throat clearing.

"Oh sorry, this is Angela," I tell Edward.

"Nice to meet you, Angela. Would you ladies like to join us at our table?"

"Sure." I say immediately. I look at Angela, and ask, "is this okay with you?"

"Of course, I see someone I'd like to talk to as well."

I look over at the table Edward came from and see Ben Cheney is there along with a few other players. It must be common for them to be here as no one is really paying too much attention to them.

Edward, while still holding my hand, leads us towards his table.

"Guys, this Bella" he says pointing towards me, "and Angela" he says pointing her way.

"Hi." We all say.

Edward places his hand on my lower back and I turn to look at him. I didn't realize just how tall he was until now. He's got the most beautiful green eyes, slightly crooked smile, straight white teeth, and that hair. I want to run my fingers through it. I can feel the electricity between us, the chemistry. I should be overwhelmed by it, but I want to be consumed by it instead. It's like we're under the same spell from during the game, the trance, it's all consuming.

We start leaning towards one another and just as he is about to kiss me…

I fall out of bed.
