Hi guys! Hopefully you will enjoy this story.

I own no characters, just the plot.

Being famous has its ups and its downs. The perks are of course worth it. Free clothes, amazing cars, the biggest houses you can imagine. Sure, it may be all material things that are the biggest benefit, but what else is there when your privacy is threatened day in and day out. The biggest downside to this life is that you never know who is there because they care for you, or are there because of who you are.

Luckily, I had a close knit group of friends that have been in my life since before I was who I am now. I knew that they loved me on my good days and bad days, no matter what. I never had to question if they wanted something from me or not.

First, we have my older brother Emmett. He is 25, and has been my best friend for the last 5 years. Our parents passed away in a car accident, and he stepped up to raise me since I was a minor. I am only 20 so it is sort of amazing that we are as close as we are. Luckily, he did everything in his power to make sure I had a great high school experience, and was there for me through everything. When he had to move home from Seattle it nearly crushed him. He was leaving his best friend and girlfriend up there to come and take care of me. How many 20 year olds would do that for their little sisters? Not many that I can think of.

After he was with me for a few months, he broke down and lost it. He was hospitalized for depression because he didn't know the first thing about raising a 15 year old girl. Let's not forget that he had just lost his parents, and was truly a lost little boy even if he didn't admit it. Because of this, his girlfriend Rosalie, or Rose as she was now going by, and his best friend Edward moved home to help him, as well as me.

Edward has been Emmett's best friend since they were three, seeing as our parents were very close as well. I know, it may be weird that I would need Emmett if my parents were very close with Carlisle and Esme. But I didn't want to leave our family home. When you're a 15 year old girl, you are extremely emotional and need to hold on to what you have when you have it. Grieving isn't something you look to do at such a young age. Anyway, to make the story short, they all moved into our house. They decided that Edward could help me with my homework and such since he was ridiculously smart. Rose was supposed to be here to help me with any "female issues" I might have, as they so put it. And Emmett was just here to be Emmett.

Aside from the three of them, I had Alice who had been my best friend since we were three. She was Edward's little sister, and her and I had been inseparable since we first met. She got me in a way that no one else seemed to. She had been in love with Jasper Hale, Rose's cousin, since we were seven, and always swore that one day she would marry him. Granted, at the time he thought she was gross and had cooties. Now, they are as happy as can be, but not quite to the marriage stage yet. Jasper rounds out our little family, and it has been the six of us for the last five years. And for some of us, it has been even longer.

Here I am sitting in the back room dwelling on what has happened to lead to these events. I guess dwelling is the wrong word, but everything going on just consumes me lately to where I am barely able to comprehend things. Thank goodness I am an actress and am good at hiding these issues, but truly, they are eating me up inside.

There is no way in hell I want to do this interview, but I guess it is necessary. The rumors around Hollywood, and even the rest of the world, have been crazy. I guess I can understand why it got to this point, but it's annoying either way.

"Bells, you okay in here?" I hear my brother ask me. Even though the rumors involved his best friend, he was still here by my side.

"I'm as good as can be expected Em," I smiled at him sadly, " I don't want to do this. I don't want to answer their questions that I know they are going to have, because it makes it real. It means he isn't in my life anymore." I cried on his shoulder as he hugged me.

"I know Baby Girl. But you gotta do it. I may not know the full extent as to what went on with you guys, and I'm okay with that. But for both of your sakes, you have to do this. The two of you need closure. I need my baby sister in my life, but I also need my best friend." He told me. You could hear sadness dripping off of his voice, and it killed me to know that I was the cause of it once again.

"I'm sorry Em. You should go be with him, I'll be okay."

"You're always trying to put on a brave face for me aren't you?" He smiled at me, "Bells, if I were to go with him, who would be there for you? This entire thing has ripped our little family apart and it kills me. Best friend or not, I can't choose someone over you."

"And it hasn't killed me Em? I lost the man I love, my best friends, everything! I have you, and I am more grateful than you know, but how I am supposed to deal with this? He won't even talk to me! He's been in my life since before I can remember, and now he is just gone! It is almost worse than when mom and dad died! At least then, I knew I wouldn't and even couldn't see them anymore, but with him." I stopped to take a deep breath because I knew this next part would be hard to admit. "I know he is out there. I know he is okay, or at least I hope he is. I need him as much as I need you and Alice, if not more!" I realized I was yelling at him and I should probably stop since we weren't in private and this was not the type of thing I needed getting out into public. I could see it now, "Bella Swan has break down and hospitalized!" I'd be the next Britney Spears before I knew it.

"Miss Swan, 10 minutes until you go on." Joe, the assistant of the show came in telling me. I guess I was really going to do this.

"Bella look. I love you. You will always be my baby sister, and I will always be your number one fan. Mom and Dad would be extremely happy for everything that you have accomplished. Like I said earlier, I don't know the extent of your guys relationship since you kept it secret for so long. What I do know, is that the two of you are miserable separate, and should try to figure out a way back to each other. I know I didn't always accept you guys, and I'm sorry. But right now, you need to suck it up. Go out there, answer some questions that are going to make you squirm, and move on. Either get over him, or figure it out. Sorry to be so harsh baby girl, but its the truth."

"I know. It's just all easier said than done." I told him.

We sat there in silence for the next few minutes while I just sat and thought about how to handle this. How do you try to make something work with someone who won't talk to you? I guess my only option is to give up and move on.

"Miss Swan, it's time to go to left stage now." Joe came in once more, except I had to go with him this time. And cue the sweating.

"Good Luck babes, I'll be out there watchin ya! And remember, if you get nervous, just picture everyone but me in their undies!" He laughed his monster laugh as we both walked out.

"Love you Em. Sorry for yelling at you in there. I'll see you soon." I smiled a soft smile at him, and I'm sure he could tell how nervous I was.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Award Winning Actress Bella Swan!" I heard Ellen yell, which was my cue to go on stage. Well, here goes nothing! f

Being on Ellen, it is basically a requirement that you have to dance while going out. My issue, is that I am the world's biggest klutz. No really, in Hollywood, they vote every year as to who is what. Sort of like high school and the year book except this was with all the A-List celebrities. For the last 3 years, I was nominated biggest klutz. I wouldn't say it's a great title, but it is what it is and I may as well embrace it. So here I go in three inch heels and a tight-as-hell dress. Even though Alice and I may not be talking, I still wear her clothes. I have to support her, even though she isn't here for me right now. I was dancing, and I hadn't fallen yet! Maybe today was going to be okay. It's like it was a sign that if I could make it across the floor in heels dancing, then maybe I could actually make it through these questions. As I was thinking that, I felt it. My right foot went one way and left foot went another. Oh shit. Next thing I know, I am on the floor doing the splits. Lord help me now, all I hear is laughter. They are laughing at me!

"Well Bella, it is great to see you again, but why don't we help you up off the floor. That looks like it could be quite uncomfortable." Ellen laughed as she grabbed my hand and helped me up.

"I really need to remember not to dance, or better yet wear heels when I come here." I laughed loudly as I said this, which in turn made the audience laugh louder.

Ellen gave me a large hug and whispered in my ear, "I know today will be hard on you, we can stop at any point okay?" I nodded my head against her and we let go making our way over to our seats.

"Ok ladies and gentlemen, Bella Swan! Here she is in the flesh! How are you doing Bella?"

"Well, I'm a little sore after doing acrobats here, but other than that I'm alive and kicking! It really is great to be back here."

"It is always a pleasure to have you here in our studio, I just really do wish it was for different reasons." She offered me a sad smile as she said this, and I knew she meant it.

"As you all know, the entire hour here is dedicated to Bella Swan, and we may or may not have surprise guests along the way."

"What are you talking about Ellen? Surprise guests? Anyone I need to know about?" Well shit, now I was nervous. I know Edward has made a name for himself, I just don't think I can talk to him face to face. I don't know if I can handle it.

"Don't worry Miss Nosey Pants. They are all guests that have been approved through your brother Emmett. Say hello Emmett!" She said as she pointed to the audience and the cameras panned over to him. What I didn't expect was Rose to be sitting next to him with a huge smile on her face waving at me. I hadn't seen her since shit went down six months ago. I guess I had blocked myself off from everyone, including her. The sad part is that she lives with Emmett, and he is always near me. How I hadn't seen her in six months, I will never know.

"Oh My God Rose!" I nearly squealed.

"Sitting next to Emmett is his girlfriend Rosalie, who is one of Bella's best friend, and if rumors are correct, a friend she hasn't seen in six months." I heard Ellen tell the audience. With that, everyone ooh'd and aww'd. "Well girls, don't just sit there! Let's see some lovin!" She yelled at both of us.

Next thing I know, Rose was up running towards me. I'll let her come to me so that I don't trip and fall again. Immediately, I was wrapped up in her arms and willing away the tears.

"I love you Bells. I know this is hard, but I am here for you 100%. Don't push me away, I have your back in all of this. Not his."

"I love you too Rose. I really missed you. I'm so sorry!" And here come the waterworks. If Alice were here, she would kick me because I was ruining my makeup. This thought made me laugh.

"Ok baby girl, I gotta go back over to your brother. But I love you, don't you ever forget that." And with that she kissed my cheek and ran back to her seat.

"Wow Ellen, thank you for that. I really wasn't expecting to see anyone other than your lovely self today."

"It wouldn't be our show if we weren't full of surprises."

"This is true." I laughed. It was true, she had tons of things up her sleeve and typically no one knew what they were.

"So why don't we cut to the chase, and just jump in head first, what do you say?" She asked me.

"Well, I guess there's no beating around the bush any longer is there?"

"You are here to clear up the rumors that are floating around about your entire life correct? More importantly, between you and a certain young man."

"Yes, that is correct."

"Now let's make sure that the audience understand why this is important. No one knows how Bella got where she is today. She has never once opened up on her past, or on a supposed relationship with Edward Cullen. I assume you all know who he is." She paused and the entire audience agreed that they did in fact, know who he was. "But what no one knows, is the nitty gritty. For those who have followed the media lately, you know that the actress we have come to love has been accused of cheating, lying, and ripping their family apart. The thing everyone needs to remember, she has never admitted she is in a relationship with Edward. We do know that they are close as photos are around of them at all different ages. Now you just met her brother Emmett, and I personally know all of these people outside of the business, and let me tell you. Emmett and Edward are best friends, and have been since they were young. I don't know how young, as it has never been discussed but you can tell by the interaction among these young men and women, it has been awhile. Bella here, is here to help us understand just what made her who she is. And to once again, address all of these accusations. Now, this show is typically full of humor, but today is special as it focuses on Miss Isabella Swan and her story. So Bella, I give you the floor."

"If I am going to do this, it is important that we start at the beginning. That, for us, started when I was 15 years old."

Please tell me what you think! Thanks!
