Let it fall into place

Chapter 1

I paced back and forth in the trees, being sure to stay out of sunlight. I was in Forks, Washington, a place that was barely ever sunny, but of course the day I come it is. I continued to pace wondering how I would confront the man I had once called my best friend.

Flashback

"Edward, I do believe that if you continue to talk of going to the war you will give your poor mother a heart attack." Edward shot me a crooked smile that I loved so much. It didn't reach his eyes though; something about him was off today. He was very pale and had a sheet of sweat on his forehead.

"Edward, are you alright?" I asked standing to go set my hand on his forehead. He tried, half heartedly, to move away from my touch.

"Isabella," My best friend said, looking up at me, "Don't worry I'm fine, I am just tired today."

"Edward, you're burning up. You know that something has been going around, we should get you to a hospital right away." He shook his head, "Edward," I pleaded, "Please, I just want them to make sure you are alright." He sighed and stood with grace.

"If you wish, Isabella," He bent down and kissed my hand, "I shall go home first and see to it that my mother is okay. Then I will go to the hospital and come see you tomorrow just to show you that nothing was wrong." I smiled and place my hand on the side of his face.

"Then I shall be expecting a visit tomorrow." I said and watched him leave. Little did I know that would be that last time I ever saw my best friend, Edward Masen.

End flashback

I pulled myself out of the memory and again tried to think about what I should do, whether I should go meet Edward or not.

I sat on the couch of our living room, absently watching Emmett as he played another one of his video games. Alice stood next to me, she had been excited all day but wouldn't tell me why and every time I tried to read her thoughts she would be reading of the constitution in German.

"Alice what's going on?" I asked her for the hundredth time.

"You'll see soon." She said and danced off to her room. That little pixie was crazy. I sat and waited for whatever she saw to finally happen.

Okay, I can do this. I kept telling this to myself as I walked up the front steps of a beautiful Victorian house where Edward was suppose to be living. I took a deep breath, even though it was need, and knocked on the door before I lost my nerve. I women, who looked to be in her mid to late twenties, with brown wavy hair, and golden eyes that matched mine, opened to door.

"Hello, how can I help you?" She asked in her musical voice. She looked at my eyes then.

"Vampire." I confirmed what she was wondering.

"Oh please come in, I am Esme." A smile lit her face, "It's wonderful to meet another vampire who has the same… Diet as my family and I." I smiled at her and stepped inside.

"I am actually looking for someone." I told her, "Edward Mas-Cullen?"

"Oh yes he is in the living room. Edward, come here." She said her voice staying at the same volume. A moment later the boy I had known years ago walked into the entry way and stopped dead in his tracks. He looked just the same aside from his paler skin and golden eyes. His unruly bronze hair and striking features were just as I remembered. He wore a light blue, long sleeve; button up shirt with the sleeve rolled to his elbow, dark jeans and tennis shoes. I suddenly became a little self conscious of my look, a black, knit, off the shoulder sweater, dark skinny jeans and silver stiletto heels, my mahogany hair hung loosely around my face and I wore no make up. Snap out of it Bella, I told myself, you are not a self conscious person, there is no need to feel that way around him.

"Hello Edward." I said in my soprano voice. "I never got that visit."

"Isabella?" He asked after a moment, his voice was like velvet.

"I go by Bella now actually." Before I could say anything else, Edward has his arms wrapped around me in a tight hug.

"You are suppose to have died a long time ago." He said when I pulled back. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I went to Italy after you were supposedly dead. I was changed there by Aro. I asked him once about other vampires who had the same life style ass me, as in not drinking human blood, he told me of the Cullen's. He gave me back ground about some of them, when I heard about Edward who was changed during the Spanish influenza I just knew it was you." I remembered perfectly, Aro told me two weeks ago of the Cullen's, I begged him to let me come and eventually he gave in, he couldn't resist when I begged.

"That means you were changed just after me, which means your 17 still too." I nodded. "I would have looked for you if I knew, Bella."

"Don't worry, I thought you were dead already too." He shook his head, I knew he was stunned.

"Um, Edward?" I heard Esme.

"Oh Esme, how rude of me. This is Bella Swan. She was my best friend in my human life, I didn't know she had changed." Esme came over and hugged me.

"It's so nice to meet you Bella."

Just then a little pixie girl with spiky black hair come skipping down the steps.

"Bella! I'm Alice, you and I are going to be best friends very soon." She hugged me like she ahs known me forever. I glanced questioningly at Edward.

"She is a psychic." He explained. Then a boy with blonde hair walked in, suddenly I felt very calm.

"Hello, I am Jasper." He said shaking my hand.

"Jasper is my husband, he can controls emotions." Alice explained taking his hand. That explained to calmness.

Then a beautiful blonde girl and a huge boy with short black hair walked in. "And that is Rosalie and her husband Emmett." Rosalie shook my hand, and Emmett came and gave me a huge bear hug, lifting me off the ground.

"Emmett." Edward scolded and Emmett put me back down. I laughed and hugged him around his waist.

"Nice to meet you Emmett." As I stepped back, a man with light blonde hair walked over and took Esme's hand.

"And who might this be?" Edward explained to them all how he knew me.

"Well, that is amazing, so you have been living in Italy all this time?" Carlisle asked. I nodded. "Will you be staying here in Forks?"

"Well, I don't know. I look a little too young to be living by myself and I don't have anyone to live with."

"Well you can stay here if you'd like." Esme suggested.

"No, I couldn't. I wouldn't want to barge in like that."

"Nonsense! You're a friend of Edwards so you're a friend of ours." They wouldn't take no for an answer so just like that is was settled, I now lived with the Cullen family.

Edward looked down at me and I found myself smiling in a way I hadn't smiled for at least a century.
