Summary: Set during New Moon. After Edward left Bella became just like Ronnie Miller. She started to hang out with the wrong crowd. She even got a tattoo. It starts on her right wrist with the words "No Lies" leading to her left wrist saying "Just Love". Eventually, she stopped hanging with the wrong crowd when Charlie bought a piano. She hadn't touched one since her parents split when she was little. It hurt too much which is why she lied to Edward. However, she found therapy through the piano and her BFF Jake. She even got accepted into Juilliard. Charlie was mad at Edward, but when Bella explained that he was going to commit suicide he gave Bella reluctant permission to go with Alice to save him. Little did she know that his secret cancer would get worse as she went to Italy.
-Starts at Bella getting off the plane at the airport in Forks.
Bella POV
We had just gotten off the plane at Forks. I had actually fallen asleep on the long 22-hour flight we had gotten on. I couldn't help it and I slept for the last 12-hours. I stayed awake for the 4-hour flight to Forks though. I wasn't tired anymore. Alice, Edward, and I were all walking side by side through the airport. I bet we'd look cool in slow motion.
I spotted Carlisle, Esme, and Jasper in a corner of the airport. They all obviously looked the same as before. Smooth faces carved out of marble, and striking golden eyes that are mesmerizing. It was as if they never left. I saw relief and love in all of their eyes. It was strange considering we've been apart so long.
Alice, of course, made a beeline for Jasper. No words were exchanged. They just stared longingly and adoringly into each other's eyes. It was like the poster picture for true, eternal love. Esme, surprisingly, made a beeline straight for me. She enveloped me in her arms. Her arms sort of felt like if I let her close enough- they could be home.
"Thank you so much, Bella," she whispered in my ear, "I don't know what I would've done without him."
"Your so welcome," I said squeezing her a bit tighter, "It was my pleasure to keep your family together."
Carlisle hugged me next as Esme went to hug Edward.
"You mean our family," he whispered in my ear. His words sounded sincere, like they did consider me family. I trusted that Carlisle never said anything he didn't mean, but I couldn't bring myself to fully trust them after all I've been through these past months.
In the past 3 months I've really changed. When Edward first left I guess you could say I went "Goth". I did a lot of bad things that I'm not proud of at all. I drank and I went to parties. I stayed out late and did nothing but push my family away. Jacob Black-my best friend- was who changed me. He said he used to look up to me and that he didn't know who I was anymore. That really hit home and I realized how much I'd been hurting the ones I loved. So I changed and actually felt good and better. I was happy.
I also found out I was adopted. That was very hard to take. I felt betrayed by my family. I felt like I had been living a complete lie. However, what was cool was that I found out I am a witch. I have the power to freeze time, blow up objects, premonitions, heal others, and orb (which is like teleporting but with pretty white lights). It's really cool because I get to protect innocents. However, the whole keeping it a secret thing is really hard. I don't know how the Cullens do it! I almost blurted it to the Volturi. The only people who know are my family, Jacob, and the Pack.
Oh, yeah. Jacob is a werewolf. However he is my best friend ever because he doesn't agree with the whole vampire prejudice the rest of the Pack has. He actually doesn't mind the Cullens at all. He believes that they are good people. However he does not appreciate the pain they caused me, but he said that only thing that matters is how I feel about them. He is awesome! I'm so lucky to have him. The only awkward thing we dealt with was his ex-crush on me. It eventually went away- for which I was ecstatic. I mean I love him but I'm not in love with him, you know?
Well anyway, back to the present.
Carlisle pulled back and I smiled reluctantly. I saw a Dunkin' Donuts behind him and I had a craving like every normal teenage girl. Well…sort of normal.
"Do you mind if I buy a drink really quick?" I asked not wanting to rude.
"Of course not," Esme exclaimed, "For what you did, I'll buy you the store!"
I laughed and began to walk towards the store with the Cullens trailing me. Carlisle stepped in front of me and held the door for everyone. I got on line behind the only other two people there. All of a sudden I felt hot and I realized their air conditioning must be busted or something. I turned to the Cullens behind me in case they wanted to speak. As I waited for someone to say something I began to run my fingers through my hair and pulling up into a high ponytail. It was up to my waist. I bound it with a hair tie from my wrist. They collectively gasped. Creepy.
"Oh my gosh!" Alice squealed in delight as I stared confused. "Is that a tattoo?" Oh.
"Yes." I replied holding my wrists out side by side so the tattoos were seen (picture on profile).
"They're beautiful," Jasper whispered. Everyone nodded in agreement, even Edward. I thought he'd be mad. Huh.
"Thank you," I replied turning back to the counter to order. "Hi, may I please have a large caramel iced latte? Thanks." The girl nodded happily and quickly began making my drink.
I noticed Maroon 5 was playing on the speakers. I absentmindedly spun towards the Cullens. I began to tap my nails on the counter lightly and sing along, swaying and looking at the patterns on the floor.
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door…
I trailed off humming softly to myself. I looked up to find the Cullens and the girl behind the counter holding my drink staring at me. I looked down wondering if I dropped my pants or something.
"What?" I asked.
"You can really sing," Alice said. "What else don't we know about you?"
I looked away and laughed, avoiding the question. I took my drink from the sweet girl who also complimented me. I reached for my wallet in my messenger bag, but Jasper had already placed a ten dollar bill on the counter and told her to keep the change. I was about to protest but he interrupted.
"Bella." He said his voice ringing with finality. I smiled and thanked him.
Suddenly Jacob burst through the door, out of breath. His eyes held relief and a whole lot of fear. What was he afraid of?
