Chapter 4: Mrs. Cullen/ Francis

                         Wendsday, school was called off due to freezing fog.

                          Bella and I decided to take a trip to the Cullens.

                         Carpooling was the first option and we took it. No one wanted to waste gas.

                         

                        "So, did you like the Cullen's house?" Bella asked as we drove into the little caul-de-sack.

                        I parked the car and grabbed my purse and keys and got out. "How'd you know about that?"

                        "I'm not stupid, that's for sure." Bella laughed as she slid out of the trucks cab.

                        "But you are a klutz." I said. I helped her up and we started hiking up the hill.

                        "Yes."

                        "Who the...?" I jumped at the unseen person who had just spoken.

                        "Evelyn." Bella grabbed my arm.

                        "Who was that?" I said.

                        "EDWARD!!" Bella yelled.

                        In just seconds, Edward was there. He didn't seem happy to see Bella.

                        "What's wrong?" He growled.

                        "Some one just said 'yes' that wasn't us. They were in the trees." I sat on the mossy ground.

                        We heard a wicked laugh.

                        "It's just Rosalie and Emmett." Edward pulled me up.

                        "Are they hunting?" Bella asked.

                        Edward was silent.

                        "Are they hunting, Edward?" I said fiercly.

                        "Yes, but they're hundreds of miles away, they're just really loud. HEY!" Edward stopped walking.

                        "Is for horses." I mouthed.

                        "How would you know anything about us hunting?" His eyes flickered to Bella.

                        "Internet. Back ground search. Why? I can keep a secret." I pushed Bella back.

                        A deep growl built inside Edward's chest.

                         "Edward," Bella moaned.

                       "You can't tell any one." Edward grabbed my waist.

                       "Why would I tell a friend's secret?" I asked him.

                       He laughed coldly.

                       "Are you with Bella?" I whispered to him.

                       "Not exactly any more." He whispered back.

                       Bella pulled me back. "Help me. I love him and he got mad at me for something."

                       My cell phone rang just then.

                       "Hello?" I asked.

                       "Hey," It was Jacob.

                       "Jake?"

                       "Yeah, actually."

                       "Um, whatcha need?"

                       "Do you and Bella want to come down for a fish fry this Saturday?"

                       "I'll come. Bella will too. We'll be there. Bye." I flipped the phone shut.

                       "You're going?" Edward growled.

                       "What more could I say? He's a sweet kid." I moaned.

                       "We'd better head up to the house." Edward pushed us ahead of him.

                       "I guess I smell better today." I laughed with Bella.

                       "No, actually. It's different; you smell stronger than Bella ever has." Alice said. She locked arms with me and Bella.

                      

                        We ate dinner with the Cullen family. They told me a lot about them.

                          "So, Esmee, you're younger than Edward?" I asked.

                         "In one way. He was transformed way before me. In 1918. I wasn't transformed until later." Esmee said.

                         "Wow, this is hard to keep up with." I said.

                         Me and Bella were the only ones eating that night.

                        

                        "Thanks for the meal. I'm glad I came over. Sorry if I'm any trouble." I said at the door. I pulled my hair down to my neck as the wind blew.

                        "It's no problem. We're controlled. Please come over again. Good night." Rosalie said. She shut the door as Edward ran us to the truck.

                       "Night, girls." Edward shut the doors and ran back to his house.

                      "I'm a little offended now," Bella smiled at me.

                      "Why is that?" I asked.

                      "Rosalie likes you." Bella drove at 60 mph down the road.

                      "Oh come on!" We talked the whole ride home.

 

                     I was asleep. Sound asleep. No noise in the house.

                      "Evelyn?" I heard a soft, sweet voice say.

                      "Leave a message after the beep. Beeeeeeeeep." I threw my pillow over my head.

                       "Evelyn." The person demanded me now.

                       "I'm up, I'm up." I moaned.

                      "I don't want to hurt Bella." Edward was sitting on the corner of my bed.

                      "Then don't." I was awake now. I got up and shut my door.

                      "But, I don't think it's safe for her anymore. With new meat in town, I guess I am more torn between you guys." Edward whispered. "I'm trying to figure out why I can't read your mind."

                     "Because, I block my thoughts." I understood what he was saying some how.

                     "Bella and you are very different." Edward pushed my long brown bangs out of my face.

                     "We are?" I asked.

                    "For one, your heart doesn't stop when I touch you." Edward touched my neck, feeling for my pulse.

                    "Because, I don't try so hard to not like you." I said.

                    "And, you understand what I'm saying." Edward lifted his hand to my cheek.

                    "Isn't this two timing?" I asked him.

                    "No," He laughed. "It's just... you and Bella sing for me. But you're so different from her. I guess you're better for me?"

                    "Good theory." I told him.

                    "Very." He said.

                    "Don't kiss me." I said as his lips leaned to my cheek. "I'll feel bad."

                    "But, no one will know. You'll be my midnight." Edward said.

                    "What about the day?" I asked. I felt myself giving in.

                    "Maybe my day too." Edward winked.

                    "What about Bella?" I worried about my friend and how she would feel.

                    "She has Jacob." He sighed.

                    "Edward, this is wrong." I leaned away.

                    "What's wrong about it?" He asked.

                    "Bella, I don't want her hurt." I whispered.

                    "Alice is taking care of her right now. To Bella, I have left her so she can be with some one her age. Or at least closer." Edward pulled my forward.

                     "But-"

                     "She's fine." Edward pressed his stone cold lips to my forehead.

                     "I am too." I was dazed.

                     "Go backto sleep. I'll see you at school." Edward lept out of my window.

                      It was only 10:58. I ran down the stairs to get a drink when I heard a soft knock at the door.

                       It was Bella. She seemed OK.

                      "Alice had a vision; today I was thinking, what if I were with Jacob?" Bella looked around the room. "And she some how convinced Edward that I wanted Jake."

                       "Maybe you need to try it. Maybe, Edward needs space." i guessed.

                        "Maybe he needed you." Bella smiled.

                       "What?" I was awesome at lying, you could never tell when I was.

                       "It's OK, we were in a tiff anyway." Bella said. "We're still friends.

                       "You can crash here," I invited.

                      "Really? Charlie working all night tonight, so sure." Bella said. "I'll go get my clothes."

                      "Wow," I said after she left.
