CHAPTER 2: Understanding
A/N: Hey everyone. Thanks for your reviews, I really appreciate them
So this is the next chapter…. Hope you like it! (By the way, When I say "them" I mean the Cullen's)
Bella's POV:
I was full and content. I hated eating humans, but that's how we live, and I knew I couldn't change that. So I didn't complain.
I was in our living room thinking about….well….anything!
"Bella" Leila said as she sauntered into the room
Uh-Oh, I knew this tone!
"What do you want now Leila?" I groaned.
"What! Nothing… I'm offended!" She replied innocently.
I was still suspicious.
"I was just wondering something…..I want to ask you something, about "them""
My head spun round to her sharply "What" I hissed
"I know you don't want to talk about them, but…" She started
"Too right I don't" I spat "so just leave it. I don't even know who you're talking about."
"Bella…I"…
"Leave" I said with force. I was surprised at myself. I didn't want to be mean to her, I just couldn't bear to even think about "them", let alone speak about them.
Leila's POV:
I stormed out of them room, fuming. I knew she hated them and all, but she had no right to talk to me like that. I just want to understand a bit more. All she told us was that they once meant something to her and they betrayed her and left.
Whatever they did to her, she obviously hasn't got over it.
She has to face up to her past, if she doesn't she will never move on and get on with her life. She puts on a good show, but I can see straight through her. She needs to concentrate to get them out of her mind for goodness sake! I banged on Callum's bedroom door.
"Callum" I stated "we have to talk, now"
Callum came out, recogniszing my tone.
"Well, you obviously mean business" he said, a smile playing at my lips.
"Too right I do and we have a lot to discuss" I said to him ignoring the smirk on his face.
Callum's
POV:
Oh
dear. I know that look. Leila is not happy!
I followed her into her room and spread myself out on her bed
"So…. What's going on?"
"I am tired of Bella"
"WHAT!" I immediately sat up into a defensive position.
"No, you idiot. Not in that way. Of course I wouldn't want her to leave. What I mean is that, she has too many secrets. I want to know what happened with the Cullen's and I need to know now."
"Whoa. Hold your horses. You know that Bella is sensitive about the subject. You need to be careful. And why do you need to know now?" I was slightly worried. Leila often got what she wanted.
"Look, you and I both know that something terrible happened to her that she still hasn't got over. We also know that it involves the Cullens…."
I didn't like the look of where she was going with this.
"And…" I said cautiously.
"And we also know that if she doesn't sort it out then she will never get over it and we will never know."
"No" I protested "we don't know that. She still has time."
"Callum. She's been exactly the same way for 30 years, or more. Look at it this way…something happened when she was human that has made her hate the Cullen's. If she doesn't sort it out then for the rest of her existence she will never fully enjoy her life. Do you what that?"
Well, when she put it that way "Well…. No….but"
"Exactly. We simply need to nudge her in the right direction. I have a plan. I think we should get in touch with the Cullen's and invite them to see us."
"WHAT" I exclaimed for the second time. This was ridiculous. "No, don't be stupid we cannot do that behind her back. She's like our sister, I don't know about you but I couldn't do it."
"Callum, this is for her own good. She will face them and sort it out. Then we can all get on with our lives. Oh, come on Callum, you know it's a good idea."
"Well….."
"It will help her." She stated grinning at me. I knew she had won.
"Fine. But you had better be careful."
She turned around smiling "Of course" she replied and sauntered out, leaving me standing in the middle of her room. I loved Bella and was worried this would hurt her. But, I guess that it will help her, so….. Let's just hope it works.
