Disclaimer: Honestly do you think I own Twilight? Sadly nope, that come from SM's mind, not mine.

A/N: Okay so this is my new story! I was going to wait and put it up after i finished my other story so I could focus on this one, however after my friend heard she was in this story she wouldn't let me wait. She kept pestering me, so for the sake of my sanity I'm putting it up now so she can stop bugging me about it. *hint hint*

Edward and I were sitting at his house. We had been friends for as long as I could remember, I couldn't remember a time when we weren't the best of friends. However every once in a while I would catch myself wondering what it would be like if we were more than friends. Scratch that, I wanted to be more than friends, we were so close it felt like we were one person and I really liked Edward. He was playing his piano, he would ever only play the piano for his parents, and me. He never would play it for anyone else, when I asked he only ever said that he only played for people who he felt comfortable with.

I took a deep breath, I had decided I was going to tell him how I felt. He turned around on the bench to look at me. "Are you okay?" he asked me, he was always good at reading people and he could tell when something was wrong.

"Ya I guess, actually-" I started but was cut off.

"Edward, you know you really should try meeting girls," his mother said walking into the room.

"Where did that come from?" he laughed at the bluntness of her statement.

"I was just talking to Kendra's mother today when she brought up that topic and I thought, why don't you two try going out?" she explained. Wait a second, who's Kendra?

"Mother, I don't even know a Kendra," Edward pointed out. Okay so I'm not missing something, that's good to know.

"Yes I know, but I know her mother and from what she's told me Kendra seems like a nice girl," she tried to persuade him.

"I don't want to go out with someone I don't even know," he responded in a tone that sounded like he was trying to end the conversation.

"Fine, if you refuse to go out with someone you don't know, than why not Maria? She's also a nice girl and you know her," his mother suggested. I inwardly groaned, yes Maria was nice, but she seemed like she would really get along with Edward. Don't say anything, don't do anything, if he wants to go out with her than it's his choice, right? Right!

"Do I really have a choice? Because, if I don't than yes I would rather it be Maria as apposed to, some Kendra I've never even heard of," Edward sighed, he knew as well as I did that when his mother got like this than there was no persuading her out of it. The best you would be able to do was compromise with her, or pick the option you would rather.

"Great! I'll go talk to her mother right away, seeing as the school's been closed due to the Spanish Influenza out break, such a shame," Elizabeth sighed. We couldn't go to school because a lot of people got the Spanish Influenza, oh well, couldn't say I was that upset about it.

Edward rolled his eyes as his mother dashed out of the room.

I laughed, "You seem so excited,"

"Maria is nice enough, her and her friend Erin are great, I just don't want to date," he admitted. My heart sank and I struggled hard to keep it off my face, by the looks of it my attempts seemed to be working. "Anyways, you were going to say something," uh, what was I supposed to say now? 'Even though you're not into dating I just want to say I really like you and I think you should give me a chance'? Not a chance.

"Um, I forgot what I was going to say, again, oops," I made up, it seemed believable enough for me, Edward just chuckled and turned around back to his piano. I sighed, why did I have to be so gutless? Ugh! I could tell Edward saw there was more than what I was saying but I was thankful that he never called me on it.

***************

Elizabeth as she said talked to Marias' mother Marina and talked to her about setting up a date. Apparently they agreed and had set up for Maria to have dinner at the Masen's. Edward asked, well more like begged, for me to come along to but I insisted that I didn't want to be a third wheel on his date. He laughed at that so I rephrased saying that I didn't want Maria to feel like a third wheel on her date. That quieted him right down knowing very well that when we started talking we could forget about anyone else around us.

The next day I was over at the Masen's (where else would I spend my time?) and Edward was telling me about his 'date'.

"You know Maria is actually really...great, but not as a girlfriend, more as a good friend you know?" he explained. I nodded slightly relieved that he didn't look at Maria as a girlfriend.

"So it went well?" I pushed.

"Well, ya. We started talking and after we got past the awkwardness at the beginning we could just talk about miscellaneous things," he told me. I nodded. I didn't know what to think at the moment. "In fact, her and Erin are actually going to come over today, you know just to hang out with us,"

"Pardon?" I asked after a second. What did he just say? Erin and Maria were going to be coming over.

"Erin and Maria, their going to be coming over in a little while, my mother thinks it's because I like Maria but really she's fun to be around and how she talks about Erin it sounds like it would be fun to spend a bit of time with her too," he elaborated. Okay so it's just because they are friends and he wants to include them? Oh well, maybe it would be fun to spend time with more than just each other.

"Okay, sounds great!" I faked enthusiasm, I was lucky that Edward wasn't looking at me or he would have seen that I wasn't sure what to think.

*******************

We went on with our day and at about 2 in the afternoon someone knocked on the door. Edward's father answered the door as me and Edward were upstairs in his piano room.

"Oh hi Maria, and you must be Erin, nice to meet you," he greeted pleasantly. "Their just upstairs I'll call them down," we heard him add. I noticed that as soon as his father opened the door, Edward had stopped playing the piano and I couldn't help but feel glad that he still only felt comfortable with his parents and me listening.

We walked down the stairs and saw Maria and Erin sitting on the couch. Maria was medium height and had long dirty blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail. Erin was tall and had shorter light brown hair that had been left out. "Hello," Edward greeted pleasantly and I smiled. "You know Bella," he added directing towards me.

"Yes of course, hi Bella, how are you?" Maria asked.

I laughed "Fine, thanks, what about you two?"

"Okay," they both responded at the same time.

"'cause we're cool like that," Erin all of a sudden burst out. I looked at Edward for support, what was she talking about? (You have to remember that this is back in the 1900's Erin, I don't think people talked like that yet!)

"Translation, we're okay because we are cool," Maria piped up laughing at her friend. Edward and I nodded mainly at a lost for words.

We ended up talking for hours, me and Edward learned Erin's...unique way of speaking and didn't need Maria to translate for us anymore. Erin and Maria really were great people and we became friends quickly and I figured out what Edward was talking about that you could just end up easily talking to them once you got onto a good subject.

"Well, we g2g," Erin said. Like I said, unique way of speaking.

"Ya, but we will talk to you guys later," Maria responded, at least anyone could relatively understand Maria, except for her occasional Erin talk. (Sorry, had to put that)

*******************

A month later we still were good friends with Erin and Maria when Edward's father got the Spanish influenza closely followed by him! I was devastated I spent every chance I got at the hospital where Edward was. I would sit by his bed ignoring him telling me I had to go or I may catch it. Elizabeth was also always there too, she tried to get me to leave when she could, trying to protect me, but she was also thankful for me being there. Not to my surprise Elizabeth soon got it too, it was truly horrible. However there was a really nice doctor, Dr. Cullen, who was always helping them.

I felt so bad for Edward when his parents died and he was still, essentially, living. "Oh, I'm so sorry Edward. This must be so hard for you! I love you," I would say to him whispering the last part. He didn't exactly respond to this, it seemed as if he was unconscious, but I remained there. I started to feel unwell just before Edward also died.

"I'm sorry Isabella, there's no more we can do for him," Dr. Cullen told me that day. I started to cry and he hugged me reassuringly.

After I finished crying into Dr. Cullen I left the hospital. I couldn't be where he died! I went out into the forest to the clearing Edward had found, we would come here when we needed to clear our minds. I sat there for a while when I heard leaves rustling behind me. I whipped around to meet eyes with a mountain lion, why on Earth was there one here?! It pounced on me and I started bleeding a lot, I was going to die! At least I wouldn't be in anymore emotional pain. A blur than came past, taking the mountain lion with it, however I was bleeding too much and knew soon I was going to die...

A/N: Mwahahaha, evil I know. Is she going to die? Of course not, but how will she live? Medical help? Edward? Carlisle? Someone else? Who know, well who out there knows? I'll try to update soon but let me know what you think of it. BTW: In this story I have written in...four! of my friends because they are cool like that, and when I was writing I needed four extra characters and just had this crazy idea of why now put them in? Two of them popped up here, can any of you guess who they are? Right! Erin and Maria, and I tried to stay as true to their personalities as i could. So yes that means Erin is kind of sort of like that lol, okay that is her.

Now, please press the pretty button below and tell me what you thought of this. Was it good? Bad? It should be taken down? Let me know, and I do accept annonymous reviews! So that means Erin and Maria, you can review too! *hint hint*
