Chapter one: Fleeting Moments

He had always wanted her. had watched her, and hoped to have her. His attempts were in vain.

She didn't love him. She didn't desire him.

To her he was nothing more than a friend. His own marriage had been falling apart not soon after she had come into their lives.

Esme hid away in the house the town thinking she and Carlisle had divorced and she had left him.

A woman whom he had thought would be his forever was a different person.

For years they had grown apart until they to fruli divorced a year prior.

He understood nothing could be like it was. His 'children' were once again graduating.

for Bella it was her first graduation. this was the final Celebration of the last Hurrah before these high schoolers separated.

With every glance every moment taken every touch forsaken he was driven to the brink of Madness.

His love was in love with another. There he stood in the kitchen watching the party.

Everyone was enjoying themselves. Bella was a beauty. Radiant as ever.

He knew nothing would ever change the only difference this time was he could see one of his children , Alice was very subdued.

Tension was set in her gaze and Jasper was at her side as the pair approached Carlisle.

"Carlisle, we need to speak, privately." Alice and Jasper shared looks of grim sorrow.

The kind vampire agreed and waited till the party was over. Pulling the parasite into his office they spoke. He hoped it was something he could help with.

Hours later he had his entire coven pull together into the living room. Bella as well was sitting off in the corner well within Edwards visual. There was a moment of awkward silence. The trio was unsure how to proceed.

"There needs to be a serious talk about honesty. We are supposed to be a family and that includes Bella. We invited her into our world and under no circumstances will i leave behind an important part of my family again." Alice spoke. Anger in her tone while she glare at a pair of occupants in the room.

"Edward. you know what we are speaking of. As do you Esme. Please come clean for all our sakes." Jasper spoke thus time and You could see the light dawning in Bella.

Hurt. Betrayal and the truth settled into Bella.

She had expirience with this. Front row seats actually. Her mother had left her father lusting after a new life.

She had given everything. Almost giving up everything for him. Even planned on marrying him Even though she was so unsteady with the thought of it.

She was going to give up her virginity, and beg to give up herher mortality for him. That bastard. Her eyes searched the room frantically and settled on the other guilty party.

Her dry sobbing as she looked to Bella in forgiveness.

Esme.

"How could you." It was spoken in a breathy whisper. It was spoken of the betrayal. The lost trust. Of hurt and anger.

Finally catching on Rosalie and Emmett both crowded Bella. Finally Rosalie let go of her resentment for the girl.

This human that was fighting tooth and nail to be apart of something forever and to be heartbroken and hurt by those she trusted.

Emmett for once wasn't full of jokes and laughter. This woman was like family to him. reminding him of his own mother. Gentle. Trusting. Caring. Yet having it all thrown back in her face.

Edward stood akward in a room of people whom he had misread.

"I had urges-" he spoke trying to excuse his behavior. A heartbroken sob fell from Bella's lips.

"I beg and beg for you to take me. To make me yours in every way and you run from me to Esme!" Her sobs choked her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to but we happened. It's hard to control love-" Another choke of a sob but this from Carlisle.

"Alice said this must have been going on long before we separated." Pain was etched in his face. True he held no love for his former wife but the broken trust. That he could not forgive.

"Yet you try to make it seem like a single incident. " Carlisle spoke making Edward glare at him.

"We will leave. give you both time to think. Everyone is just emotional." Edward said and Bella fell upon him beating his chest only to be roughly shoved hard into Carlisle's embrace.

"Don't be childish." Edward said trying to act superior event though he was caught in this affair.

In minutes with wounded hearts left behind, Edward and Esme left.

Bella fell into a mess of tears in Carlisle's hold. She begged not to be left alone again. Not to be forgotten behind once more. He soothed and comforted her. Promising to be there, guaranteeing not to leave her.

The drama settled.

Alice called and spoke soothing to Charlie explaining the delicate situation. She told him of Edward running off with another woman. Promising that their family was still going to be there and help her get through it.

The news she knew would spread like wildfire.

Bella refused to leave Carlisle's embrace. She was more fearful that they would leave her alone again.

Edward had been her only link to this family. It was them that she fought to stay by his side for.

So she clung to the other hurt party. Sobs tearing through her until darkness took over her body full of exhustion.

He held her and comforted her. It hurt to see his lovelorn love so hurry. So in pain.

Calling off of work for an unforseen time Carlisle devoted days to Bella.

Assuring her of their presence. The spark in her gaze remained. Thigh she still clung to him.

On the seventh day, Alice and Rose took over sending him off to hunt and work.

His own worry was in the back of his mind but he dove into work.

Bella had been making progress and he was sure that she would get though it with their help.

well that's the chapter.
