Edward, Bella, and Alice have been best friends since second grade, and now they are Juniors in high school. In all that time, Bella has never looked at Edward as more than a buddy. When she starts to feel more than friendship for him, how will she get him to notice her? (Complete fluff and ohsofun to write) :)

Validation Beta: Aerosoldoc

An old, dilapidated hospital residing in the outskirts of Forks, Washington, sits untouched - other than being the occasional setting of a teenage party. Everyone knows the rumors, and it's because of those rumors rebellious teens are lured there. They want to be the first to spy the young man who supposedly lives inside its walls, the man who's either a ghost or crazed maniac that murders those courageous enough to enter the building.

No one has ever seen him, or at least no one that's ever lived to tell the tale. But it's all just rumors, right? Well, Bella Swan is about to find out.

Rated for subject matter and content. OOC. Canon pairings.

Warning: There is mention of physical abuse in this story.

We always want what we can't have, but their love for each other was so much more than just temptation. He was the eager young teacher, Bella's friend and her inspiration in a high school world where she didn't quite fit. She was the bright young woman who took Edward completely by surprise, his saving grace after years of closing himself off from life and love. When their days are turned upside down by their secret relationship, will they find a way to be together?

Rated for subject matter and sexually explicit material in later chapters. Huge thanks to Anne Cullen for the awesome new banner and to m81170 the beautiful fan art/banner below! You are both amazing!  

Bella has started her search for 'the one.' One disastrous dating attempt after another has her wondering if she'll ever get her happily ever after. But in the end, what she winds up finding is even better.

Edward and the gang are college age and heading to Key West for summer jobs. Excitement, laughs and romance abound. Rated NC-17 for adult situations/lemonade. AH, some OOC moments, canon pairing.  Give it a chance and enjoy!

Set during New Moon.  Bella didn't jump.  But a vision from Alice sends the Cullens running back to Forks.  What if Bella wasn't the only one who fell apart when she lost the love of her life?  What if Edward couldn't handle being apart?  What if he fell?  How far could he fall?  Who committed the murders at the Swan residence and what happened to Charlie?  Just how bad can it get? 

Read and find out!

Thanks to the amazingly talented Anne Cullen for the Banner.

Some of the reviews...

"This was so well written and so damn sweet.  I don't know where you came up with the idea, but it was truly an excellent read."  jessicasheehan

"Great story.  You captured all the main points, was in line with canon and still introduce a wonderful plotline which I enjoyed through the eyes of Ray."  Queendel

"I liked the way you ended this.  I can see how seeing a relationship like Bella and Edward's and watching it as closely as Ray did would affect his life.  I think that it is a believeable ending and am impressed with the way you carried it through.  I think that this was a unique perspective on the story that we all know and love and you did it justice.  Great Job!"  Jen (javamomma0921)

"Um, wow.  I loved this!  Like you, I guess I've always wondered what Bella and Edward appeared to be from an outsider's perspective.  You nailed it!"  starry19

"I'm so glad you wrote this.  Not only was it great, but it's one of my favorite angles to see characters we know from a stranger's POV.  So I did a little happy dance in front of my computer (earning me a weird look from my dog) when I saw your story.  Thanks!"  TheCelticOne

"I absolutely love this story.  And views of their relationship from afar.  I'm always trying to look for stories like these and jumped to the opportunity of reading this one.  Plus the length!?  It was like an early Christmas present.  You're writing is wonderful; especially how you weave your characters through it.  And in the 3 chapters you have, you have more personality in all the characters than most people with 50 chapters!" Fleury's Apprentice

Bella is trapped in the small town of Forks, lost in a world where she feels like she doesn’t belong. With a desire to get away from her now remarried family, what will the senior trip to Europe have in store for her? AU/AH B&E

Bella heads on a trip to Vegas with her girlfriends to make money and see the sights, but things don't go exactly as planned. With thousands of dollars in debt and no hope in sight, Bella finds help from an unlikely source. Gambling, casinos, and all-around good times. Bella/Edward. AU (but NOT all human).

In the quiet, affluent town of Forks, Washington, Bella Swan dedicates her life to unfurling the mystery behind the death of her best friend after her father is removed as county sheriff.  But an unwanted distraction sets her on an unexpected course.  A noir tale and an homage to Veronica Mars.

"Disarm you with a smile,
And leave you like they left me here,
To wither in denial.
The bitterness of one who's left alone.
Ooh, the years burn."

This is an alternative plot to when Bella is on the cliff, picking up from the top of page 358 of New Moon. Bella does not rush back into Edward's arms. Bella struggles a great deal with depression, anxiety, and esteem. Several characters may be slightly OOC in that they use occasional profanity.

"This story contains incidents of self-harm. If this is disturbing to you, please do not read."

What if Bella broke down on the cliff and truly tried to kill herself? What if Edward got the news in a different way and hadn't gone to Volterra? Where would it leave Edward and Bella? Where would it leave Bella and Jacob? This story will be an angst filled alternative, but I do believe in happyish endings.

 Thank you for the banner, Roonie!
