A/N ok this is my VERY first story so please please be nice 

I hope you all like it. & please review. Just so you know the first few chapters are a bit shorter than the later chapters. So don't hate me for the first 2 or 3 chapters being short! Also this is just to start it off so the story will get MUCH better in the next few chapter. Enjoy 

Bella Swan's family is in debt & Bella has been forced to date Jacob Black to have his father who owns a bank help her family with their enormous debt. A new family moves to town though; siblings Edward and Alice Cullen. Bella finds herself attracted to Edward and he feels the same way about her. Maybe it's even love? but Edward and Bella can't be together publicly because Bella is still with Jacob…

Everyone's At it / No Time to sleep

Bella's POV

"WHO THE EFF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" I heard my mother Renee shout from downstairs. I pressed my hands to my ears tightly trying to push out all the noise; to forget everything & just drift off as I lay in my bed.

"I KNOW WHO I AM! I'M THE ONE IN THIS FAMILY WHO MOTHER EFFING PAYS THE BILLS!" my father Charlie retorted. I tightened my blanket around myself & squeezed my ears more tightly to my hands. I felt my eyes get hotter as tears rolled down my face. Renee and Charlie had fought at least four times in the past week and it only seemed to get worse. They mainly fought about our money problems and about how we were in debt; and the fights normally went till 6am at the latest, but they left me tired during my days at school. Every morning before school I got up a bit early and applied as much make-up as I could to hide the bags under my eyes.

As I lay there silent in my bed I sensed someone enter my room and I turned to see why. Standing there leaning up against my door was my brother Emmett. Emmett's one year older than me and were extremely close; except he's always so protective over me. I suppose him being overly protective is an okay thing though.

"Sorry Little Sis, did I wake you up?" he whispered to me. I was in shock that he had come into my room and I felt immediately embarrassed that he had seen me as the mess I was. I instantly wiped my tears off of my face using my sleeve.

"No I don't think you could possibly wake me up when it's this loud down their" I whispered back motioning my finger downstairs and forcing out a quiet laugh. He frowned and his face scrunched up oddly. Had he not believed my laugh? I shouldn't have tried to lighten the mood! He walked slowly towards the bed and sat down.

"Are you okay Bella?" he asked and I nodded "I don't think this is good for you. Are those tear stains on your face?" I blushed to the fact that he had noticed my tears. I had to say something so that he wouldn't worry but I was at a loss of words. I could feel my eyes watering up again as more tears strolled down my cheeks.

" I just don't know what to do!" I took a deep breath. "I mean I've been dating Jacob for a couple weeks now and he's convinced his father to be easy on our debt but it's not getting any easier. I mean they haven't stopped fighting and it's not like the debt is going away it's just sitting there waiting to be paid and I hate having to be in a relationship where I don't actually like the guy. Jacobs a nice guy I'm just not interested in him in that way!" I looked into Emmett's eyes and it looked as if he was going to cry too. He quickly embraced me in one of his bear hugs & squeezed me tight then he released me; still holding my shoulders straight so him and me didn't break the eye contact he told me.

"Bella you know it's not your responsibility to keep the family running. You already do so much and I can see it's taking a strain on you. Promise me you will stop putting so much weight on your shoulders. You're such a tiny little thing; I'm surprised you've lasted so long. Promise me." He said; his gaze getting more intense. I broke our eye contact and stared down at my bed. It seemed like minutes before I spoke again.

"I suppose I'll try." I still couldn't look up but Emmett cupped my chin in his hands and brought my face to look up to his. He sighed.

" I suppose that's as much as I'll get out of you; but if you don't love Jacob you should really break up with him."

"But I can't!" I said; a tint of panic in my voice and of course Emmett noticed it.

"What do you mean? You can do whatever you want; and I don't want you to be unhappy dating Jacob." He frowned.

"Well…" I paused "It's the least I can do for the family; it's helping us keep the house. Plus I think dad would be angry if I broke up with Jacob. He knows as much as you and I do that me dating Jacob is helping the family." Not like I wanted to date Jacob I thought of him like a close friend; but he had always liked me since I was in the 8th grade and I just recently took him up on his proposition. Every time I kissed him I shuddered a bit on the inside but then I reminded myself it was for the family.

Emmett leaned over again and gave me one final bear hug then he kissed my forehead and stood up.

"Get some sleep little sister. You'll need to be good and awake for tomorrow. A new family is apparently coming to town and mom wants us and Rose to show the family around. She's already made friends with the mother of the family." He sighed as I laid back down into my bed. Rosalie was Emmett's girlfriend of two years "Love you lil sis!"

"Love you too Emmett" I smiled and closed my eyes as I heard my door click closed. I had felt completely awake before Emmett came in but now I felt tired and my body was week. I slowly drifted off thinking about what the new family would be like.

The last thing I heard was Renee screaming to Charlie to put something down than I heard a smash and she screamed more about her new china sounding infuriated.

A/N Ok then that was my story. Sorry the first chapter was short and probably wasn't very good. But I plan on the next chapter being in Edward's point of view and as the story progresses it will most defiantly get better.
