I walked into the familiar smell of my step sister's coffee shop. Lily was only five years younger then me, we adopted her when she was a baby making her the last part of our family.
"Bella!" She squealed. She jumped up from behind the counter and hugged me. "Omg, you were supposed to get here tomorrow."
"Yeah, early flight opening. Besides, what wouldn't i give to see my sister?" I ask.
"You are here, oh, what will Rachel think?" Lily asked me. "We have to catch up."
"First i want permission to hang here on daily bases to study." I told her.
"Granted!" She squealed.
"Thanks, okay so when do you have break?" I ask.
"Ten minutes, just take that table over there." She told me, pointing to a table.
"Lily!" Someone yells, coming in. She small girl with black hair that i know as Alice Cullen come running in and hugs Lily.
"Alice, i have been trying to get to you, i won't be able to be there tomorrow, as you can see, my sister is here." Lily said, pointing to me.
"Oh, hi. I am Alice." Alice said, holding her hand out to me. I shook it.
"Isabella." I told her.
"Bring her along Lily." Alice said.
"Where?" I ask.
"Oh, we are having a small party for my sister's birthday, Rosalie." Alice told me.
Suddenly my other adopted sister, ran through. She was about five, and adorable.
"Hey, Rachel, where are you going?" I asked, picking her up. She squealed.
"I am running away from you."
"Am i am monster?" I asked her, tickling her neck.
"No! I need to hide and you have to find me." She said, serious crossing her face. "Because you can't take so long like last time."
"I am going to come stay with you, do you want that?" I asked.
"Yes, then we can have tea parties." Rachel giggled.
"Tea parties?" I frowned.
"Yes, with Milly the mermaid and Stacy the unicorn." Rachel agreed.
"This is going to be a long three years." I told her, though she didn't understand.
"So you should come, oh look, there is the rest of my family." Alice said, just as the rest of her family walked in.
"I should get back to work." Lily told me. I nodded and left to find a table. Once i spotted one, a two seater in the window, i set up my laptop and started studying.
"Excuse me." A nasal voice said. "You in my spot."
I looked up into the eyes of one who bullied me through middle school. Tanya.
"Yeah, who made you owner of this table?" I demanded.
"I did." She said. "Are you new around here?"
"Have you seen me before?" I demanded, catching the attention of the rest of the family.
"No." She snapped.
"Yeah, then i am new." I told her, turning back to my work.
"You are still in my spot." She hissed.
"Tanya, she was there first." Alice told her.
"This is middle school all over again." I muttered. "You always owned the place along with your 'gang'."
"And i always won." She smirked.
"But you lost at life." I told her, closing my laptop and getting up.
"Um, Who are you?" Rosalie asked.
"I am Isabella Swan, Charlie Swan's daughter." I told her.
"You mean Lily Swan?" Rosalie raised an eyebrow.
"Lily is my sister." I reminded them. "I moved to Canada with my mom when i was in ninth grade, but i am back."
"Cool, so you're like thirty now?" Emmett asked.
"How old are you?" I asked.
"Twenty five." He answered.
"Yeah, well i was like four years younger than you in highschool, but i skipped a grade, so you do the math." I told him. Carlisle and Esme actually cracked a smile, Edward, Tanya, Rosalie, and Emmett glowered at me.
"Here is your hot chocolate, Alice." Lily said, coming over and handing her a drink.
"You know i swear i know Isabella." Alice told Lily.
"You do, i am surprised you forgot." I told her. "I was like your favorite toy."
"Toy?" Carlisle repeated.
"Wow, you guys can keep secrets for long. I told the first person that asked, but i am happy to say, when we meet five years later i still have a life." I told them.
"Yeah, not married, doubt you have a boyfriend. And what, still in high school?" Rosalie sneered.
"More or less, went back to school to become a detective, well i already am, but i need to be certified here. Boyfriend, yes, married, no. Give me a break, i am only twenty-two." I say.
"I think it is a great idea, going back to school." Carlisle said, pointing it directly at Tanya and Rosalie.
"Please, school sucks." Tanya sneered, walking away with Edward.
"Well, nice seeing you, hope never again." I say, strapping my messenger back across my shoulders.
"Hey, can i talk to you?" Lily demands.
"Sure." I say. She takes me to the side and points a finger at me.
"You! They! Bully!" She spits through her teeth. "They bullied you and now you are all cold to them."
"Finally, someone has showed smartness since i am back." I say, examining them, they were watching us too.
"Bella." She complains, tugging on my arm. "I am only eighteen, give me a break."
"Lily, i will not put up with them. You are best friends with them, yay, congrats. I am enemies with them, let us be." I told her.
"Bella, let me help you make friends with them, settle this whole mess."
"Lily, they don't even remember me. 'Their favorite toy' didn't ring any bells. They don't even remember my name. I am not exactly going to be her bridesmaid." I told Lily, upset.
"Who said anything about a bridesmaid?" Lily asked.
"Really, look, Rosalie and Alice are wearing rings on their fingers. They are engaged. And the way the flex their hands, their showing it off, they just got engaged. They are excited, planning their weddings, look at the megazine Rosalie has, wedding dresses. Tanya is clearly upset, Edward hasn't asked her yet. She thinks he never will, she is acting friendlier to him, trying to get him to do it. But he sees this and doesn't want to. You are so blind Lily." I tell her.
"Wow." Lily says to me. "You could totally rock as a bridesmaid."
"Yeah, no thanks." I say, looking at the flood again.
"Come on, you and Alice would be amazing together, Alice is a lot of fun." She tells me.
"No, i do not wear those ugly fuchsia dresses." I tell her.
"Who said anything about pink?" Lily demanded.
"Look at her outfit, her bag, her shoes. Look at the wedding planner sticking out of her purse. She loves pink, if anything she will have a pink wedding." I tell Lily, walking away.
"When have i ever let you down?" She yells across the room. I raise six fingers. "Fine, six times. But this will work."
She runs up to me, i turn around and stop her, putting a hand on her shoulders.
"Lily, i love you. But today i am already on a mood. I come to first and the first family i see if them, honestly, give me a month to decide to see if i want to say hi to them in the hallways, then give me a year to see if they have changed, and we will take it from there."
"Bella, there is no way i am letting this go on." Lily tells me.
"I am going home now. Good bye Lily." I tell her.
"Don't you dare go back to Canada." She yells. A bunch of people turn our way.
"Lily, when we have conversations, they are supposed to be whispered, not yelled." I tell her. "And i am not leaving the country, simply going home to study."
"Oh, sorry." She says. "Just don't leave the city."
"Hard to do, this place is a mile long." I tell her.
"You know what i mean, i haven't seen you in a year and this isn't going to well already." Lily tells me.
"It will get better, possibly." I remind her, leaving.
Edward POV
Again i woke up feeling ashamed of the poor girl we chased away in middle school. I felt for Tanya on the other side of my queen bed. Of course, she was gone. It was empty. She always got up before me to put the chemicals on her face, she was beautiful, without the makeup. Tanya and i had been together since ninth grade. My family and her were the gang, the bullies. We didn't gave the jocks, we had the Cullens. Now we are all grown up, Emmett and Rosalie getting married, Jasper and Alice getting married, me and Tanya. I don't want to propose because i know she isn't the one. My thoughts stayed on the poor brown eyes and brown haired girl that begged us with her small voice to let her sister go. We did, but she was out main target. Our favorite little mouse.
I got up, showered, met Tanya in the kitchen and we drove to the small coffee shop run by Lily Swan, my family and i usually met there every Saturday. And today was Saturday.
I met Mom and Dad along with Rosalie and Emmett in the parking lot. We went inside and saw Alice talking to Lily and someone else with brown eyes and long brown hair. She reminded me of Bella.
"Hey, Rachel, where are you going?" The girl asked, picking her up and throwing her into the air. Rachel squealed.
"I am running away from you."
"Am i am monster?" The girl asked her, tickling her neck.
"No! I need to hide and you have to find me." She said, serious crossing her face. "Because you can't take so long like last time."
"I am going to come stay with you, do you want that?" She asked. asked.
"Yes, then we can have tea parties." Rachel giggled.
"Tea parties?" The girl frowned.
"Yes, with Milly the mermaid and Stacy the unicorn." Rachel agreed.
"This is going to be a long three years." She muttered. Three years! Dang, she was staying here. I could fall into the sweet chocolate eyes. I instantly felt love for her.
"So you should come, oh look, there is the rest of my family." Alice said, just as the rest of us walked in.
"I should get back to work." Lily told the girl, leaving. The girl nodded and put Rachel down. She walked to a table and sat down, setting up a laptop and books.
"Excuse me."Tanya said. "You in my spot."
The girl looked up at Tanya. "Yeah, who made you owner of this table?" She demanded.
"I did." Tanya told her. "Are you new around here?"
"Have you seen me before?" She asked, we all looked their way, wondering what was going on. "No." Tanya snapped.
"Yeah, then i am new." The girl turned back to her work.
"You are still in my spot." Tanya hissed.
"Tanya, she was there first." Alice told her.
"This is middle school all over again." The girl muttered. "You always owned the place along with your 'gang'."
"And i always won." She smirked.
"But you lost at life." The girl said, closing her laptop and getting up.
"Um, Who are you?" Rosalie asked.
"I am Isabella Swan, Charlie Swan's daughter." She said..
"You mean Lily Swan?" Rosalie raised an eyebrow.
"Lily is my sister." She told us.
"Cool, so you're like thirty now?" Emmett asked. We looked at him confused.
"How old are you?" She asked.
"Twenty five." He answered.
"Yeah, well i was like four years younger than you in highschool, but i skipped a grade, so you do the math." I told him. Carlisle and Esme actually cracked a smile, Tanya, Rosalie, Emmett, and I glowered at her.
"Here is your hot chocolate, Alice." Lily said, coming over and handing her a drink.
"You know i swear i know Isabella." Alice told Lily.
"You do, i am surprised you forgot." Isabella told us. "I was like your favorite toy."
"Toy?" Carlisle repeated. Great, we have kept us bullying kids from them for years, and not it slips out. Was this Bella, i couldn't remember her parents, or her full name, or anything about her. I was positive no one else did either, we totally forgot about her. We lost track of the people that we bullied.
"Wow, you guys can keep secrets for long. I told the first person that asked, but i am happy to say, when we meet five years later i still have a life." She told us.
"Yeah, not married, doubt you have a boyfriend. And what, still in high school?" Rosalie sneered.
"More or less, went back to school to become a teacher, well i already am, but i need to be certified here. Boyfriend, yes, married, no. Give me a break, i am only twenty-two." She says.
"I think it is a great idea, going back to school." Carlisle said, pointing it directly at Tanya and Rosalie.
"Please, school sucks." Tanya sneered, walking away.
"Well, nice seeing you, hope never again." She says, strapping her messenger back across her shoulders.
"Hey, can i talk to you?" Lily demands.
"Sure." She says, they go to the side.
"You! They! Bully!" She spits through her teeth. "They bullied you and now you are all cold to them."
"Finally, someone has showed smartness since i am back." Isabella says, looking at us.
"Bella." She complains."I am only eighteen, give me a break."
"Lily, i will not put up with them. You are best friends with them, yay, congrats. I am enemies with them, let us be."
"Bella, let me help you make friends with them, settle this whole mess." Lily suggests.
"Lily, they don't even remember me. 'Their favorite toy' didn't ring any bells. They don't even remember my name. I am not exactly going to be her bridesmaid." Isabella told Lily, upset.
"Who said anything about a bridesmaid?" Lily asked.
"Really? Look, Rosalie and Alice are wearing rings on their fingers. They are engaged. And the way the flex their hands, their showing it off, they just got engaged. They are excited, planning their weddings, look at the magazine Rosalie has, wedding dresses. Tanya is clearly upset, Edward hasn't asked her yet. She thinks he never will, she is acting friendlier to him, trying to get him to do it. But he sees this and doesn't want to. You are so blind Lily." Isabella tells her.
We all exchanged looks, she was right! She was observant. Really observant.
"Wow." Lily says to me. "You could totally rock as a bridesmaid."
"Yeah, no thanks." Isabella says, looking at the floor.
"Come on, you and Alice would be amazing together, Alice is a lot of fun." She tells me.
"No, i do not wear those ugly fuchsia dresses."
"Who said anything about pink?" Lily demanded.
"Look at her outfit, her bag, her shoes. Look at the wedding planner sticking out of her purse. She loves pink, if anything she will have a pink wedding." Isabella tells Lily, walking away.
"When have i ever let you down?" She yells across the room. Isabella raises six fingers. "Fine, six times. But this will work."
She runs up to me, Isabella turns around and stops her, putting a hand on her shoulders.
"Lily, i love you. But today i am already on a mood. I come to first and the first family i see is them, honestly, give me a month to decide to see if i want to say hi to them in the hallways, then give me a year to see if they have changed, and we will take it from there."
Dang, she really hates us for no apparent reason. I don't even know who the hell she is, yet alone that we had met in middle school.
"Bella, there is no way i am letting this go on." Lily tells me.
"I am going home now. Good bye Lily." Isabella tells her.
"Don't you dare go back to Canada." She yells. A bunch of people turn their heads their way.
"Lily, when we have conversations, they are supposed to be whispered, not yelled." Isabella says. "And i am not leaving the country, simply going home to study."
"Oh, sorry." She says. "Just don't leave the city."
"Hard to do, this place is a mile long."
"You know what i mean, i haven't seen you in a year and this isn't going to well already." Lily tells her.
"It will get better, possibly." Isabella reminds her, leaving.
"Possibly." Lily muttered.
"Lily!" Rachel asks, running out. "Can i go with her?"
"Sure, come on." Lily picks up Rachel and goes outside. Outside they argue for a few minutes then Rachel goes with Isabella.
"How did she know i was getting married?" Alice demanded.
We all shrug.
"Um, excuse me, she acted like she knew us for years!" Rosalie hissed.
"Yeah, she does." I tell her.
"Who is she?" Jasper asks.
"What did she mean by 'toy'?" Carlisle asks.
"I would like answers." Esme agreed.
"Edward!" Tanya called. "Enough chit chat, let's go, i have a hair appointment in a half hour."
"Shut up." I whispered to myself.
Alice smiled. "So i am having a slumber party tonight, with Lily and Isabella."
Rosalie groaned. "Not another one."
"Yes, i am calling this one off." Esme agreed. "Last time, two of my vases broke."
"Mom, please?" Alice begged.
"Enough Alice, we all agree it is a no. Now, i still want answers. Get a table, i will get our food." He said, his voice changing into a sterner one.
"It better be an accurate explanation, i am calling Isabella in on this." Esme told us, joining Carlisle in line.
"What do we tell them? I don't know who she is." Rosalie says.
"Lie, i guess." Emmett suggests.
"But they are going to check with the burnette." Jasper reminds him.
"Seeing as this, i will settle it all." Alice smiles happily. She goes to the counter and exchanges a few words with Lily, then returns. "I am sleeping over Lily's house tonight. Rachel is going to Chief Swan's house."
"Who is Rachel?" I ask, just as Carlisle and Esme come back with the stuff. We all sit down. Alice takes a muffin and puts jam on it.
"Rachel is Lily's adopted sister, well actually Isabella is their only child and they adopted Lily and Rachel. Rachel sometimes goes to Lily's house and stays there. The rest of the time she stays with Chief Swan and Renee." Alice explains.
"Now, what is it between you guys and this girl. Why does she hate us?" Esme asks, drinking some coffee.
"Okay, before we go into that thing where you are mad and stuff, let me just say that i have no relation to this girl, i don't even remember her." Rosalie says.
"Okay, anyone else?" Carlisle asks.
"Me." Emmett says. "I don't remember or know her."
"None of you do?" Esme asks.
"Excuse me?" Tanya screams from across the place. She stomps over. "I was sitting there Edward!"
"Tanya, i sit with my family." I told her calmly.
"Well you have better change that!" She screams. "My appointment is in twenty minutes, good bye. I will meet you at the bowling ally at twelve."
"Bowling?" I demanded.
"Yes, we are going with my friends." She sneers, leaving.
Alice POV
"Dump her." I told him.
"Yes, please. I am sick of the girl." Rosalie beggs.
"Yeah, i was thinking along those lines." Edward tells us.
"Finally." I hear Esme mutter.
"What?" I ask.
Esme starts buttering the bread. "Well seeing as she has been the same all of high school, college and what not, i am surprised you finally have the nerve to dump her. I am not completely satisfied with her attitude."
"Well, for that. You guys can wait another year." Edward smirked.
"Edward, she is on her last nerve. She wants to get married and that dream isn't getting done." I tell him.
"Very well." He says, getting up and taking his coffee. "I will propose."
"No, don't! Are you crazy?" Rosalie gasps.
"Yeah, i am with Rose." Jasper and Emmett agree.
"You would be a total idiot. Oh, and Mom, Dad, Isabella and Lily are coming tonight." I tell them. I get out of my seat, taking my hot chocolate. "Come on Jasper, we need to go tell her."
"We don't know where she lives." Jasper tells me, getting up also.
"Yes we do. On fifth street in Seattle." I tell him.
