Finally Saturday was here. I swear I would've shot myself if I had to go back to school for another day. Panda was driving me insane. She's a good friend but I didn't ask her to be. Honestly I wish I was just the normal loner girl, alone with her book and her imagination.

Currently I was helping Bella wash the ute. It was actually pretty peaceful, I planned on reading a book but this was nice too. I tapped the beat of my music on the ute with my free hand while I washed with the other. I bent down and dipped the sponge in the semi dirty water.

I heard a loud bang, instantly my head shot up. My heart was racing a million miles per hour. Relief washed over me, it was just Edward. I took my earphones out and stuffed them in my pocket.

"Could you act human? I mean, I've got neighbours" Bella said. Her eyes widened and she looked over to me. Surely she knew I knew about him.

"It's fine, she knows" Edward said.

"Oh" Bella said.

"I'm gonna take you to my place tomorrow" he said, leaning down and straightening the dent that was in our car. I smiled, That is amazing! My smile turned into a frown once I remember that he was talking to Bella.

"Thanks, wait like with your family?" She asked. I turned on my heel and started to walk away when Edward stopped me.

"You can come too, if you want" he said. I couldn't help but smile to myself. My stomach erupted with tiny butterflies.

"Yeah," he nodded, answering Bella's question.

-------

Waking up, I felt little butterflies erupt in my stomach. I'm actually hanging out with Edward, jumping out of bed I walked into the bathroom. Looking at the mirror I tilted my head up a little, the bruises now faded to just a slight brown. After I showered I got dressed into my black off the shoulder shirt, black ripped skinny jeans and my white converse, grabbing my glasses I put them on before putting my hair up into a high messy ponytail.

As a honk was heard outside Bella and I walked outside, hopping into the car we drove to Edwards house. When we arrived I was gobsmacked, this was not what I was expecting. It had large windows that covered most of the walls, hopping out of the car, I saw Edward open the door for Bella. Sighing I shook off the jealousy that had washed over me and I cleared my head.

Walking inside, Bella and I looked at each other. We both were completely and utterly surprised.

"This is incredible" Bella said, while Edward took her coat off for her.

"It's so light and open" I said, taking in my surroundings.

"What'd you expect, coffins and dungeons and moats?" He chuckled, taking off his coat.

Yeah... I did actually.

"No, not the moats" Bella chuckled.

I zoned out after that sentence. This place was amazing, it was so beautiful. This is somewhere I would want to live. No people, nice and quiet.

"This is the one place we don't have to hide" Edward said as we walked up the stairs.

As we got closer I smelt something good. I couldn't quiet make out what it was.

"Here comes the human" a woman's voice said as we turned the corner.

Walking into the kitchen I was hit in the face with an amazing smell, looking in the kitchen I saw Dr. Cullen and another female chopping ingredients.

"Bella, Abby, I would like you to meet Esme" Edward introduced us.

"Hi, we're making Italiano for you" she smiled.

"You've given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time" Dr Cullen said. I smiled. If only I hadn't eaten...

"I hope your hungry" Esme said.

"They already ate" Edward said.

Suddenly we heard glass break, we all looked up and saw a very pissed off Rosalie. She walked over the glass and stood her arms crossed.

"Perfect. Let's just keep pretending like this isn't dangerous for all of us" she looked at Bella then at me.

"We would never tell anybody," I said.

"They know that" Carlisle said and  looked over at Rosalie.

"Yeah, well the problem is, you and Bella have gone public now so..." Emmett said.

Wait?! They're going out?! And she didn't say anything to me?! Not even Edward said anything to me!

"Emmett" Esme cut him off.

"No, they should know." Rosalie looked at Bella then to me, "the entire family will be implicated if this ends badly."

"Badly, as in.. I would become the meal," Bella said. Everyone started laughing, included me, I shook my head.

"Hi, Bella and... Abby?" Alice jumped down from the branch she walked on. She walked towards Bella giving her a hug before letting go an hugging me. "Wow, you both smell good," she stood back. Was that meant to be a compliment or an insult?

Jasper walked up up beside Alice and looked at both of us. "Jasper is our newest vegetarian" Carlisle informed.

"It's ok Jasper, You won't hurt them," Alice said to Jasper.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both," Jasper said with a small smile.

"Alright, I'm gonna take you guys on a tour of the rest of the house" Edward said.

"Well, I'll see you guys soon" Alice smiled.

"Ok" I returned the smiled, awkwardly turning on my heel and following Edward. It was weird being in a whole house of vampires. I wasn't actually scared more intrigued. I half expected them to live underground where it was dark and where no light could get through. But this is Forks so it's not sunny very often.

As I followed Edward and Bella, I felt a wave of jealousy wash over me. I sighed before we all walked into a room. "Yeah, this is my room.." Edward awkwardly walked in and looked down.

"No bed?" I asked.

"Yeah..... I don't s-sleep.." Edward shrugged.

"You have a lot of music" Bella ran her finger across the DVD cases. "What are you listening to now?" Bella pressed the play button on the stereo, classical music played.

Edward awkwardly chuckled and walked towards Bella grabbing her waist and slowly pulled her toward him.

I stood awkwardly, "I-I think that's my queue to leave, thanks for the tour" I walked out and down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen,

"thank you for cooking lunch, I'm so sorry that I didn't get to eat it" I apologised. It looked amazing.

"Maybe another time" Esme smiled.

"I'll drive you home" Alice said, grabbing car keys and walked toward me.

When I arrived home I got out and saw a very familiar ute. "Thank you for the ride home" I thanked Alice.

"No problem, have a good afternoon" she smiled,  I closed the passenger door and walked in.
