BPOV

I squinted, trying to see through the rain that clouded my windshield. I had stopped at a library to use the computer to get the Cullens number. I sighed and dialed them, Carlisle picked up, "Hello."
"Hi, may I speak with Emmett"
He froze, obviously surprised that someone besides family was calling him. "Uh...who is this"
"I'm a friend of Emmet's. Please I'm in a bit of a hurry." I hinted.
"Hello?" Emmett asked me confused. "Em, Its Bella. I need to ask you a favor. Please don't let your family know that it was me who called"
"Ugh..sure. What do you need?" "Victoria came to kill me after you and your family left, to get back at Edward of course, so I left Forks last night trying to protect me and Charlie and Jacob. I need you to tell me what to do or where to go. I'm lost Emmett I have no clue where to go! Is it a lost cause? Will Victoria catch me and do whatever she had planned that made Laurent cringe?! I need strait forward answers. Please."
It was silent for a moment. "Bel-where are you?"

"Portland."
"Get on the next plane to New York. I'll pick you up at JFK. Go quickly."
"I don't want you to get hurt." I whispered, emotion flooding through me. I missed Emmett.
"I'll be fine, its you I'm worried about. I can handle Victoria, just get your butt on a plane!" He said teasingly.
I giggled. "I missed you." I told him blushing.
He chuckled lightly. "I missed you too." he hung up.

I drove to the airport and bought the ticket. Luckily it was 47 minutes 'till departure. I went to the shops buying baggy shirts, shorts, bathroom necessities, and sweat pants. I didn't know when I'd get the chance to buy these things again. I grabbed and Cinnabon and ate hurriedly walking to terminal 5. I arrived 15 minutes to spare, I boarded the plane and quickly fell asleep. It had been almost 24 hours since I last slept, I was completely exhausted. I awoke to a flight attendant telling me my flight had landed. I hopped off and ran for the parking lot, hopping Emmett would be there. He was. He embraced me in a big bear hug my feet swinging off the ground.
"Lets get going." He said motioning for the backseat. When I opened the door Alice was seated on the other seat squealing and clapping her hands excitedly. "Alice!" I cried throwing myself at her.
"I'm so happy to see you!" She exclaimed "I wish under better circumstances, but still!"
I giggled. "I'm sorry for intruding." "Not at all! I was bored out of my mind! Its fabulous having you back!" Alice told me with a grin.
"May I ask what I'm doing here?" "You're staying with us until Victoria is taken care of." Alice said nonchalantly.
I shuddered. "Alice I-"

She interrupted. "Don't worry we have plenty of room."
"This isn't your problem."
"It doesn't matter whose problem it is. We can't desert you in your time of need! What kind of friends would we be?"
I sighed. "So you guys live in New York?"
"No. New Haven. Small town about an hour or two away." Em answered.
"Is Edward mad at me?"
They stared at me as if I had just spoken pig Latin. "Shes utterly absurd!" Alice commented to Emmett.
"Huh?"
"Bella, Edward is head over heels for you!" Alice informed. "Imagining him mad at you is an impossibility." Em agreed.
"Are we talking about the same Edward?" I asked. They shook there heads disapprovingly. I thought about asking them to elaborate, but I wasn't here to get Edward back. Even if that was possible.
The drive was for the most part quiet. I would ask about what is going to happen with Victoria and they would tell me not to worry about it.

"Alice I know I'm going to regret saying this but..."
"What?" Alice asked curiously.
"I have no wardrobe"
Her smile threatened to pop off her face. "Oh..My..God! Bella Swan is asking me to style her! My dream come true!"
"Uh..yeah. Of course I'll pay, so don't go too wild, okay?"
"You pay?" she scoffed. "I'm supplying it all!"
"Alice! I can't let you do that!" I frowned.
She stuck out her tongue. "Too bad."
We pulled up to a large white house. "Home sweet home!" Emmet announced, getting out of the car.
Alice opened her car door and pulled me out with her. I stumbled with them up the steps and through the door.

"Bella! How nice it is to see you!" Esme said pulling me into a hug.
"You too." I said hugging her back. Carlisle approached me. "Thank you for inviting me into your home." I told him.
"Of course. It's a pleasure to have you."
Jasper stood up, but kept his distance. I suddenly realized the last time I saw him was my birthday party. "Hello, Bella." he greeted politely.
"It's nice to see you Jasper." I said with a warm smile. This caught him off guard, he loosened a bit. I noticed Edward was not there. I wasn't sure whether or not to ask. Alice spared me. "Edward will be here later." I knew he was upset about this!
"Good afternoon Bella." Rosalie greeted pleasantly as she descended the stairs.
"Hello, Rosalie." I nodded. My mind roamed back to how angry Edward was. "Rose! Bella is letting us pick out her new wardrobe!" Alice jumped up and down.
Rose smiled. "Awesome. When should we go shopping?"
"Hm..." Alice debated with Rosalie. I watched them do pro and con lists of different days for shopping. Finally they decided no better time than the present. "Bella do want to come?" Alice asked me. I had to be their to rein her in.
"Let's go."
