Not your typical Edward/Bella/Jacob love story.

OOC for Edward. All human.

Review if you want me to continue. Your input is crucial. If no one responds I'm not going to continue.

A/N: Bella's perspective only.


I stepped from Charlie's police cruiser. Forks, Washington, here again. I'd spent last summer here but this time everything was different. I was here for good, permanently living in the small town that only held two good things; Jacob and Edward.

Jacob Black is the slight Quileute boy I'd grown up playing with. Charlie had told me Jake did some growing up physically over the winter, but how much can a boy change in just one season? It couldn't be that much. He's only seventeen.

And Edward Cullen is the man I love. We'd dated last summer and when I went home for the school year, Edward promised to be here when I got back. I was holding out hope on that. Holding out hope that he still wanted me around despite my plainness.

No one ever notices me. I've never been anything to look at- definitely not something teenage boys love. I've always been little miss invisibility. That is, until Edward came around and asked me out. I jumped at the chance.

See, Edward Cullen is one of the most beautiful men I'd ever seen. And he was in college, which meant- to me- what the fuck is he doing with someone like me?

But I tried not to think about it too much. I would find him after I got settled in at Charlie's home. Then I would find Jake.

"Welcome home, Bells. I kept your room just as you left it." Charlie said to me, gesturing towards the house I once lived in as a child. Nope, it hadn't changed a bit.

"Thanks, Dad." I said shyly, grabbing my bag out of the trunk and lugging it up the stairs.

Everything was exactly the same as it was last year. Nothing new, nothing changed. typical Charlie. The man would stay the same through anything at all.

"Well," Charlie huffed awkwardly, adjusting his pants as he stood in the doorway to my new room. "Are you hungry?"

"Not really. I think I'm just going to settle in and…"

"Call Edward. Right, of course. Well…good luck with that." Charlie finished for me. I don't remember him being this awkward. "Nice to have you back." More awkwardness!

I took a seat on the edge of my bed, kicking the door closed with my sneaker. I was so tempted to call Edward. He knew I was coming home today and that I was coming to stay for good. I was half hoping he'd been at Charlie's when we arrived home. But he wasn't.

Too soon to call?

Suddenly my cell phone was blowing up with his ring tone. I sighed and flipped it open.

"Hello, lovely. I heard someone is here to stay. Meet me somewhere in an hour." Edward greeted confidently. That was one of the things I loved about Edward. He was confident- sure a little cocky, maybe- but that was okay. He deserved to gloat a little. He had everything.

"Hi. Of course. Where at?"

"Drive down Park Street then take a left. Call me when you get to the end of the road." Then he hung up. Hmm, weird?

"Where you going Bells?" Charlie asked, not moving from his seat on the couch. It had only been a half hour since Edward called me but I was way too anxious to see him, so I left early.

"Umm,"

"Out to see Edward. Right. Be home early, Bells." Charlie finished again. Despite the fact that the man barely knew me, he had a knack for finishing my sentences.

"I will." And I left, snapping the glass front door closed on my way.

The truck Charlie had acquired for me last summer sat in the grassy front yard, looking dejected and old…and magnificent. I ran my hand along the top of the hood admiringly.

"Hello there old friend." I said to my car before hopping in and revving her to life. Oh how she purred…or wheezed.

I drove down park street and took a left, my heart accelerating as I sped down to the end of the street. It was a dead end, no outlet street. But there at the end sat a glowing silver Volvo and a ridiculously handsome man leaning against it.

I skidded to a stop and hopped out of the car, leaving the keys in the ignition. Edward was in front of me in a flash.

"Welcome home, Bella!" he called excitedly, wrapping me in a hug. I giggled as I tried catching my breath. I smiled up at him and before I could respond, he kissed me.

His perfect lips covered mine and moved in that oh so familiar way I'd missed do dearly over the winter. I kissed him back, my hands weaving in his hair.

"I missed you." he stated bluntly, his lips at my ear. I shivered as his teeth grazed my earlobe.

"I missed you too…so much." I replied, kissing his neck.

Edward and I had been extremely intimate over the summer. I'd given my virginity to him. I hadn't told him I was a virgin but I think he knew…considering (you know).

"We should go somewhere. I can't stand being without you another second." Edward told me sexily. I sighed in relief. Everything was going exceptionally well.

Edward still wanted me. In fact, he wanted sex already. That was a plus.

He grabbed my hand and lead me to his car where I climbed in the passengers seat. His house was only a few minutes away- and yes, it was his. He lived alone. We would have privacy there.

"What have you been up to lately, Edward? I want to know everything." I asked lightly, playing with his hand as it held mine across the consol.

"Nothing, really. Just hooking up with dozens of girlfriends on the side." he teased, poking me lightly in the rib. I laughed halfheartedly. Dozens of girlfriends on the side was a totally real possibility with Edward. "How about you? What has Bella been up to. Not seeing anyone else, right?" Edward asked harshly, staring me down.

"No, Edward of course not."

"Good. Because your mine." he said, squeezing my hand tightly, a little too tight. I didn't respond. This was new. Not unwelcome, just new.


A/N: Please review! And bare with me as I start this sucker out- the first few chapters are always the slowest. Edward is getting possessive though and that's where the story really begins.
