Author's Note!

Hey guys, This is a new story I'm working on. I'm terribly sorry I haven't put anything new out or updated my stories. I gave up after some horrible reviews, which is definitely not good. I only recently came to the realization that I still love writing. So without further ado here is my new story. I hope you like it.

I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS! SM DOES!

Chapter 1

Bella POV

The rain fell from the sky, splattering my face, and hiding the tears that flowed from my eyes. A sudden gust of wind whipped my dripping hair around my head. Shivering, I pushed my legs faster towards the house I had acquired in just two days. Of course it was my parents, who had just recently been killed. I was alone. No brothers. No sisters. No nothin'. Just me, my house and a huge ass storm, that had been going for what felt like forever.

My name is Isabella Swan and the only reason I had come back to this place was because my parents were dead and I had arrangements to make. If I had had it my way I would not have come back at all. I hated this town, because of one person who said he loved me and promised to never leave and I was stupid enough to believe him. Why was I so stupid?

The worst thing about all of this was I broke my parents' heart when I said I was leaving. Poor Charlie and Renee, after he left I was just a shell, everything I used to be disappeared. I basically locked myself away, because the hole in my heart was so bad. I barely ate, I slept a lot, I quit going to school, and worst of all I was woken up every night by the same dream… well nightmare. That nightmare had me screaming every night until either my mom or dad came in and woke me.

We had a plan. He always told me that after we graduated high school we would go to Dartmouth together, after we got our degrees we would get married, have babies- err well try anyway, even though it was not likely we would ever have a family. He said he loved me the day he left, and I never saw him again. Six months later, after finally giving in to my depression I decided to move away from Forks, to spare my parents any more hurt and to possibly get on with my life. Now six months after I left, I was back and I hated every second of it. And it was all because of him.

I reached the stairs of the porch and hurried up them. I was soaked to the bone, even though all I did was go for a short walk, which started out sunny without a cloud in sight. Now back home I was soaked and shivering like a lost puppy in a spring shower, except it wasn't spring, and in this town it almost never stops raining. Sunshine is a rare thing. As soon as I was out of the rain I reach to unlock the door, but it was already open. That's weird; I thought I could've sworn I locked the door when I left. Pushing the thought to the back of my mind; I walked inside, wanting nothing more than to get out of these wet clothes. I ran upstairs to my room; the room that had always been my room, and threw open the closet door in search of something dry. The garment bags, which his sister had placed in there, were still hanging, mocking me. Frustrated I slammed the door shut and walked quickly to my parents' room. Surely my father had some old sweatpants I could wear. I dug through my father's drawers and pulled out a pair of old faded black sweats, then I found one of my mother's t-shirts. Carrying the dry clothes as far away from me as I could, I slowly went back to my room to find underwear in my suitcases. I quickly stripped off the cold, wet clothes that clung to my body and pulled on the warmer completely dry ones. I threw my dripping mahogany hair into a messy ponytail and headed down stairs.

As I flipped on the lights the thunder crashed and boomed as the rain pounded on the roof. Once the thunder had quieted another loud crash made me jump. It seemed to come from upstairs, scaring me. Then just as quickly as it came it was gone. Silence filled the house once more. I shrugged and walked to the living room. Sitting down on the couch, I switched on the TV, but nothing happened.

"Be Careful!" I heard someone shout

"Shut up, she's back home from her walk" Someone else hissed.

Annoyed the TV wasn't working I turned it off and got up from the couch. Freaked a bit more than I should be I was frozen. Why was I hearing voice upstairs? My parents were dead and I was the only one living here. Or was I?

It was quiet again and I was getting hungry. I headed towards the kitchen, as my stomach growled. "There's got to be something in this house to eat" I stated aloud as I opened the refrigerator door. Not expecting the massive amounts of food I gaped. The food looked like it had only been bought an hour or so ago. "Was someone expecting me?" I asked

"We sure were!" I heard a female voice from behind. A voice I recognized, one that I heard almost daily, leading up to when they left. I turned slowly and saw her "ALICE!" I launched myself into her arms crying hysterically. "Oh my god, I've missed you so much!" Her body shook as she laughed

"I missed you to sweetie" she said hugging me back.

"Are the others here too?" I asked not sure if I wanted to hear her answer.

"Of course" She said smiling widely as Jasper appeared by her side and I felt an over whelming sense of relief. "Hello Isabella"

"Hey Jasper, not cool with the whole emotion changing business and its Bella, you know that" He nodded and smiled shyly at my answer.

"Um Bella… Why in the world are you wearing that?" Alice said looking at my wardrobe choice in disbelief and disgust.

"Well Alice… I wasn't exactly expecting company. "I said sarcastically. She was about to answer me back was interrupted.

"BELLA!" I heard Emmett yell as he engulfed me in a gigantic bear hug.

"Em I can't breathe" I gasped

"Oh sorry" he laughed and put me back down.

"So where are Carlisle and Esme?" I asked

"Isabella, darling, how are you?" I heard Esme's motherly voice ask.

"I'm good. Where's Carlisle?'

"Oh you know my husband, always busy as usual. He actually got called to the hospital for an emergency. I'm sorry dear."

"That's okay. Don't worry about it I'm sure I'll see him later." I answered

"Of course"

"Wait. I think I hear dad's car" Emmett said as he wrapped his arms around Rosalie, who I hadn't seen come in.

A few seconds passed and the door opened, "Hello wonderful family" Carlisle said walking into the kitchen and kissing his wife.

"Darling, look who's here" Esme said to her husband.

Carlisle turned to me and looked surprised "Isabella, oh how wonderful. It's good to see you again. Staying healthy I presume, no recent hospital visits." He smiled gently as he walked over to me enveloping me in a hug and kissing my cheek in a fatherly way.

Once he had moved back to his wife's side, my stomach let out a loud growl. Emmett being Emmett laughed and said teasingly "Someone's hungry"

I smiled sheepishly and said "Well just a bit. I was actually figuring out what to eat when Alice interrupted me"

"I'm sorry geez." She said annoyed.

"Oh Alice, I was just kidding" I said moving to give her a hug. She laughed and hugged me back.

"Well Bella, how about you go with the others to the living room to catch up and I'll make you something to eat." Said Esme lovingly.

"Oh no Esme, I can make it. I'm not sure what I want anyway."

"But I insist. How does mushroom ravioli sound?"

"Ooh that sounds really good."

"Excellent. Go hang out with the others and I'll call you when it's ready."

"But… I…"

"No no, I insist. Go on sweetheart Alice is waiting." I look back and the siblings were gone. I looked back at Esme and already had all of the ingredients out.

"Esme, can I ask you something?"

"Sure dear, what is it?"

"Did Edward come back with y'all?" I asked curious and nervous at the same time.

"He did. But he has chosen not to be here with us tonight. He said he was not ready to face you yet, even though I know you feel the same way."

I shrugged "I would've been able to manage seeing him, my question is why he couldn't take seeing me?" I asked and then continued "When we were together he never really showed emotion but why all of sudden is his emotion showing. Esme what happened when y'all left?"

"Isabella," she sighed and stopped making the food. "He left you after he swore his life to you. Sweetie after what happened at your birthday, which I apologize for, he felt as if he couldn't protect you anymore. After all the two of you had been through, you were basically attacked by a member of our family. And so since he felt as if he couldn't protect you, he decided it would be best if he just left. He was so afraid that you would tell everyone about the Cullen family."

"Are you serious?! I would never! I loved him too much and I love you guys!" I was furious. Tears spewed form my eyes "I thought he trusted me. He said he did. I guess I was a fool to have believed him. The day he left he told me he trusted me ad that he loved me, then he just up and left. Did it ever occur to any of you to stop and think what happened to me when you left?" More tears betrayed me as they ran down my face "Of course not. Why in the world would you do something like that? Like actually care for me instead of this façade you put on. Did any of you actually love me or was that a lie too?" I questioned and continued "Just so you know I basically became a lifeless shell. I became so depressed I stopped eating, drinking, going to school, I quit living. Depression consumed me to the point that I almost committing suicide. But I'm sure you already knew that because of little miss Alice and her stupid gift. I bet you already knew why I left this town too?" She nodded, as I continued softly and more tears fell "Now I have nothing. My parents are dead. I'm dead. And to be honest, I have no one to blame but the Cullen's." I turned and ran out of the room, stomped up the stairs and into my parents room where I slammed the door, locked it and then flung myself on the bed and cried harder than I had ever before.
