Chapter 1: the bookstore.

Edward and Bella are standing in a fancy bookstore in Port angeles, Edward is holding one of Bella's hands in both of his, he can't help but admire his soon to be wife. Bella stares at the bookstore, longing to go in, but decides to pass. Edward notices her want to go in the bookstore, and stops her
"let's go in?"
"but-"
"please?"
"okay." she smiles gently.

bella picks up a copy of persuasion by jane Austen and looks at it, but decides to put it back and move to the next shelf
"Jane Austen hm? i thought you had already owned every book of hers."
bella giggled softly, "i wish. she was an amazing woman."
"i know an amazing woman" edward replied
bella blushed feverishly and turned around to the next shelf, which just happened to be the parenting section. She had hesitated as her heart ached, and she was brought back to that night last month. Really, she had never wanted kids, she didn't think she would find a person she would really want them with. The night she had talked to edward about kids, she subconsciously knew the answer, but it still hurt to hear that they would never be able to have kids because of who she loved.

Edward notices that she stopped at parenting books, and as she's looking at them he walks over and stands next to her, he rests his hand on her back and looks over her shoulder at the books too. He knew how much it had hurt bella that night, even though he couldn't understand why.

the bell above the door rings, indicating someone new has walked into the store. Edward's face stiffened as he instantly whipped around, and saw lauren mallory and jessica stanley standing at the counter.

she glances up at him, "i um, i think im okay, i have too many books already." she says as she begins to head for the door of the store. She pulls him out of the front door and she sits back in the passenger seat of his shiny silver Volvo.

Edward smiles as he gets into the drivers seat, he starts the car and begins to drive, he looks at her over the gear stick, taking his eyes off the road for just a second, he gazes upon her beauty, and smiles even broader as he does so....the feeling of being with her never gets old for him

Bella smiles fondly as Edward turns his eyes back to the road, and she rests her head against the window. The bright Washington sun beams through the glass and warmed up her face and hair as she glances up at Edward. His eyes never left the road, but she watched as he let his hand drift off the steering wheel, and gently rest against her knee. Her body shivered as she saw the sun shine across his face and through his hair.

Finally, Edward turns to look at her, and she stares straight into his eyes, her gaze never wavering as she smiles...

Bella stares out the window at the sunny day, the smile on her face is one I haven't seen in a long time. I feel her love, I feel our eternal bond....
My thoughts are interrupted by Lauren and Jessica walking across from us. Their mere presence brings back the hurt memories.

Without looking at them, bella could feel her heart pound, they had always hated her, and made that hate known.....but something else comes to mind when I see them.....I'd never seen them like this, they seem truly mean.

from across the street i could hear them talking together. "there back together?" Jessica starts "yeah, he's probably just waiting to break her heart so she'll become a zombie agian." Lauren adds. "maybe he'll stay around this time so. i can get a piece of him..." Jessica says

EPOV

Jessica always had a sick obsession with me, if only she knew how much I hated her.....Lauren however was always a little afraid of me....

I couldn't believe how casually they were discussing my personal matters with such confidence, like they thought I didn't have ears....or powers.

I turned to bella and pulled her close to me, I needed to be sure she was completely safe, I wasn't giving them a second chance to get her, agian.
