Sam Story: Unnatural

A/N: Haha, so here we are again! So, for those who don't know what I'm talking about, go to my profile and read the Apology! You'll understand then, and hopefully you won't be mad. At least I'm starting again! And it'll be better.

Rating: M

Another A/N: And by the way, Edward won't die in this version. Edward's character messing things up just kind of makes the whole thing even more interesting. Now, if you're interested in Edward storys', then maybe you should look somewhere else, 'cause I absolutely loathe Edward Cullen. Anyway, enjoy, and you don't have to review if you don't want to.

Bella's POV:

So here I was again, in the same place I had been for the past two months. Edward Cullen's house. At one time, those words strung together in a sentence, Edward Cullen's house, would send shivers down my spine. Shivers of pleasure.

Now, they sent shivers of disgust up and down my body.

Now that I had known Edward for so long, he had started to show his true colors. And they were not pretty.

Edward was...he was...Edward was selfish. I hated to admit it, because I was basically admitting that I fell for a person because of his looks. And that was something I swore I would never do.

But in the end it was completely true. The only thing that had me going back to Edward was his beauty, and when we first met in Biology, that was all I could think about. I was practically drooling over him. At the time I didn't care that I was falling for his looks. I was more intrigued by the idea that he was interested in someone like myself. I mean, sure, I could be pretty if I wanted, but my daily look at school was something to laugh at.

And, eventually, I realized the only reason Edward kept me alive, was because he wanted to figure out why in the hell he couldn't read my mind. If not for that minor detail that was saving my life - I didn't even realize it - then he would've killed me.

It wasn't just the fact that Edward wanted to kill me, he really was selfish.

Over the past two months of summer, he made me stay at the Cullens with him, and hang out with Alice, his annoying sister. I wouldn't say she was exactly annoying, but she had a way of annoying me especially. She would hang on me constantly, wanting me to play 'dress-up' with her twenty-four seven. If that wasn't annoying, then I didn't know what was. I had to remind myself that she hadn't gotten a normal human life, so she was starting to test out her human experiences that she had not been allowed. So, I would sit - albeit impatiently - through her skin therapy sessions.

Still Bellas' POV:

I was sitting in an armchair, at the Cullens - yet again - when he hit me with it.

"So, have you given any thoughts towards college?" He asked. The 'thought' hadn't even crossed my mind. I was just going into twelfth grade.

"Um, no...why?" I asked, confused. I sounded a little petulant to myself. I hoped he didn't notice. I was coming across a lot sharper as summer progressed.

"Well, I thought maybe we should start looking at places for you to apply. I thought maybe Dartmouth would be acceptable, or possibly Harvard...Maybe even Yale-" He was becoming more engrossed in his reverie of my tuition.

"Edward, I don't think I should start looking now. It's not even September yet. Give me until then at least," I said, hoping he wouldn't continue the conversation. This conversation between us felt wrong. Shouldn't I be discussing this with my father? Ususally a boyfriend wouldn't give a crap about your education. All they cared about was s-

"Bella, I must say, all the good colleges will be gone by September. I would know. I mean, I have been to Harvard more times than I could possibly count..." He trailed, lost in his own thoughts.

"Yeah, well, Edward...I...the thing is, I honestly don't even think college would be an option. I mean, Newton's barely pays me enough for gas money. How would I afford college?" I tried to not be petulant, but that was kind of hard, because Edward wouldn't stop talking about the 'opportunities' that college presented.

"Bella...that was something I was going to talk to you about...Carlisle and Esme...well all of us actually, are more than willing to pay your way through college." Edward said, his smile dazzlingly bright.

"I-I don't think I can...accept that, Edward." I said, too stunned to even be angry.

"Well, of course you can. Bella, I could tutor you. We could have a house a few miles from campus, the possibilities are endless-" He wouldn't stop talking, so I cut him off.

"Edward! Edward! No, I don't think you understand. I can't return the favor, and I do not feel comfortable. I can't give you anything in return. That isn't fair at all," He gave me a look that clearly said I was going insane. "Don't look at me like that!"

"Bella," He stopped and laughed. Apparently he thought that I was funny. "Bella, you don't have to give me anything in return. We want to do this, it's something of a gift."

I didn't want to have this conversation. Where did he get all the confidence? It was almost embarrassing to see him so encouraged and happy, like nothing could ruin his high.

"Edward, I don't know how to tell you this...but you're not paying for my college. I'll figure out a way to do it myself. Besides...there are hundreds of loans for schools out there," I was making up the school loans things, but I was pretty sure I was accurate. "And even if I don't do college, I think that's my decision...not yours." My voice broke on the last word.

"If you want to find your own way...I won't stop you. I'm merely trying to help-" Edward was laying the guilt on thickly, and I wasn't appreciating it.

"Edward! Stop that! I know that you were trying to help. You're coming across all wrong. It's late Edward...I need to go home. Charlie will need dinner..." I said, making up an excuse to get me away from his presence. He was so annoying! Anymore, I couldn't stand him.

"Bella...please...don't be mad. I love you, love." He said, staring up at me with his beautiful eyes. I couldn't help but smile back at his eyes.

He stood, and walked to my side. He held me for a moment before leaning down, staring at my lips soberly. He leaned in even farther, and I stood on my tiptoes, connecting lips. I wound my arms around his neck, and laced my fingers in his hair. I ran my tongue along his lower lip, and tasted him, reveling in the sensation that was building in my stomach. This kiss was odd, considering a moment ago, I had been absolutely furious with him. This kiss seemed to be the basis of our relationship. It was teetering on both edges. Dangerous, and extremely happy.

Anymore, there was no happy middle.

Edward did something then that he never had done in all the time that we had dated. He picked me up, and grabbed my calf, hitching it onto his waist. I took the hint and put my other leg on the other side of his waist. He opened his mouth and we clashed our tongues together. I loved the amazing feeling that was building slower and slower in my...area.

Edward stopped suddenly, and looked in front of us.

"What, Emmett?" He asked Emmett I assumed. He let me down, which I was dissapointed with enough to sigh at.

"Well, Charlie just called wondering where Bella was. He got pizza, apparently..." Emmett said, sounding embarrassed. I was sure if it were possible, he would be blushing fiercely now.

"Oh, okay, I'll see you later Edward...?" I made the statement sound like a question. He just nodded his approval while simalteanously glaring Emmett.

I walked by Emmett, avoiding his gaze. When I reached my truck, I sat in it for a moment, unaware that I was being watched. Suddenly, Alice appeared at my door, so fast I didn't even have time to gasp in shock.

I rolled the window down, making a face that clearly showed I was deeply exhausted, hoping we could keep this conversation for later.

"Bella, I noticed that you left in a hurry. Is there something going on with Edward and you?" She stated. She was going for the innocent look, but that didn't fool me for a second. I knew she had seen something that was going to happen between Edward and I...it just hadn't happened yet. But, could she possibly know about the mixed emotions I was feeling for Edward? Jasper could...and he would've told her! Dammit Jasper!

"Um, actually, Charlie called and said that he had pizza waiting...so I decided to get going." I said, trying to cover my lie. She nodded, and turned back towards the house. But before I started the truck, she turned around and gave me a contemptous look.

"You and Edward aren't going to last much longer, Bella. I can see it." And with that she was gone.

I shook my head, obviously scared. She had actually looked like a vampire there. She had given me the most ugly look that she could possibly muster whilst she saying what she had said. I didn't know whether to be relieved by it...or saddened. Alice didn't look to happy with that idea...I didn't think I should break up with Edward anymore, considering what Alice would do to me. And I had always thought Rosalie more mean...but Alice? No.

On my way home I pulled over once, to let the person behind me pass. They had been on my ass for the past five minutes, and when they went around me, the boy in the front seat of the truck waved at me. He looked like he was Indian. Probably from the reservation, I thought.

When I got home, Charlie was on the front porch, and I observed that the people who had been tailgating me were talking to Charlie. Charlie had his arms crossed, but he didn't look stern at all, probably because his head was back, while he was laughing at something the guy in the wheelchair said.

I stepped out of the truck, unsure if I should just walk up the steps past them...or stop.

"Bells come here! I want you to meet Billy and Jacob Black!" Charlie called from his spot on the porch. I walked over to them and smiled.

"So, you're Bella? Haha, you look a lot your daddy here." The older man said. "I'm Billy, and this is my son Jacob." He said gesturing to himself, and then the large boy next to him. He held his hand out which I shook. I shook Jacob's hand as well. Jacob was smiling so hugely that I thought it must hurt him.

"I'm Bella," I said.

"Well, we gonna fry some fish fry or what, Charlie? Haha, man, I tell you , I've been looking forward to this all day!" Billy exclaimed happily. It surprised me a little when Charlie grabbed Billy's wheelchair handles and helped him up the ramp. I had wondered why there was a ramp there but never got around to asking Charlie. I guess I knew why it was there now.

"Actually, Billy, I got some pizza, but that would be good too." Charlie replied, obviously happy to have his friend over.

I looked over at Jacob Black and noticed that he was staring at me. My cheeks flushed red, but for no good reason.

"So, how's the truck holding up?" He asked me, seeing that I had caught him watching me.

"Um, pretty good...why?" I asked. I didn't know why he would want to know about my truck.

"That's my dad's old truck. He's the one Charlie bought it off of, Charlie might've mentioned it." He replied. I nodded, suddenly remembering the whole welcome wagon that Charlie had given me when I had arrived at Forks eight months earlier. It was amazing how I could forget something that would've otherwise been significant in anybody else's life. I knew the reason I had spaced out on it. Edward. I shivered at the thought of him.

I didn't expect him to drop by when Charlie was sleeping tonight, considering Alice probably told him what she had 'seen'. I sighed loudly without thinking.

"Are you okay?" Jacob asked, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." I said, giving him a forced smile so he would take his eyes from my face.

"Hey, Bells, you know, Edward could've come." Charlie said, looking up from the couch.

"Um...he was busy or something..." I said, giving a lame excuse. Really, all I wanted to do anymore was escape to my room, so I could either sleep. Or so I could mull over everything that I had learned today. But Jacob was proving that impossible. And I felt horrible because Charlie had given me a weird look like he hadn't believed me. Which he probably didn't.

He kept asking me questions over and over about the truck. I finally understood he was trying to gain my attention, and on any other day I would've been happy with the attention, because the only other people I hung out with were Edward and Alice.

Finally, by eight, when it didn't look like Billy or Jacob were leaving anytime soon, I decided to call it a night. I told Charlie I was tired after the day's events. He just nodded, totally engrossed in the game he was watching.

I sighed the whole way to my bedroom, because it seemed I had dissapointed Jacob by turning in early. I was dissapointing everybody or hurting somebody. But I wanted to be happy...

I hated the truth I had to face...

Edward and I were over...

When I opened the door to my room, I could've screamed. Because standing in my room was Emmett, Jasper, and Alice.

I didn't know what was going on...

I was scared...

I was alone...

The sad thing was, I knew the reason they were in here. I just couldn't believe it.

A/N: I'm pretty sure everybody could understand the cliffhanger here...but you'll find out. :) :D :P
