Sorry I haven't updated in a while. ^^' or maybe a whole one or two months. And the thing about Bella's new sp will be coming soon!


I saw a car coming toward the abandon house. It was too dark to see it, and I started to panic. Please, please don't tell me it's Edward, or any of the Cullens. I slowly backed away until I saw the familiar lights from the car.

It was a police cruiser.

I was astonished to see Charlie's cruiser here. Why is Charlie here?! Is he trying to find me? Aw, that's sweet of him. But how did he know I was here? I guess he thought I still wasn't over those bloodsuckers. But still, how did he know where they lived?

Even though I was still confused, I decided to ask him. I was about to reveal myself when I saw what I never expected to see ever again, a silver Volvo. It drove right next to Charlie's cruiser. I didn't take into consideration the other cars that followed, but I knew that what I had wished for, half-heartedly might I add, came true.

I tried several things including closing my eyes again and wishing them to go away, no dice. I pinched myself, sadly, I wasn't dreaming.

I think I am finally going insane and imagining things, or this is really them? Why would they be here? Are they trying to ruin my life again?! Is their sole purpose in life to make my life miserable? I sighed, no; I'm just being plain stupid now. They would never do that…I think…

Anyways, I wasn't sticking around to find out. If they were real, they would sniff me out, or Alice might find me, and I would definitely be in trouble.

I was about to make my quick escape when I suddenly heard my dad's voice. Was he…arguing with Carlisle?! Holy crow! I would have never thought this would happen! This is like an once-in-a-lifetime event! Should I miss such an extravagant chance to actually experience this, and hear what they were saying, or should I be concerned about my mental safety?

I really was interested in what they were talking about, so I stayed to listen in. Plus, I didn't see any of the others so they must be somewhere else. I decided to listen in.

"Carlisle, please, for Bella's sake. I don't want her to feel overwhelmed and become sad like before. It was unbearable to see her so…dismal."

"I'm sorry Charlie. We just want to make things right with Bella. We think of her as part of the family and it hurt us to leave her."

I didn't want to hear anymore, even thought I didn't hear much. Those words were all lies. They didn't miss me. I wasn't anything to them. I was just some plain human who could be easily led on. I decided to make my leave immediately. I would not be fooled by the likes of them ever again! I'm through being the nice, gullible Bella. If they even stepped a yard close to me, I would kill them with no mercy! I broke into a sprint, even though I still had no idea where I was going. Anywhere was better than near those stupid bloodsuckers! I wiped away the escaping tears as I finally made it to the place where I parked my truck. I got in, slammed the door, and tried to calm myself. I breathed through my nose, and exhaled through my mouth for 10 to 15 times before I drove back to my house.

I tried to think of the fun I had with my REAL family. The ones who didn't play with my feelings and then leave me broken, the ones who helped fight off Victoria, the ones who stopped me from jumping of the cliff in La Push, and the ones who were always there even when I never asked them to.

I finally calmed myself down and started to feel silly. Why should I care if they're here? I should just give them the cold shoulder and go on with my ALMOST normal life. I reached into my compartment and grabbed the picture of Jacob, Angela, Charlie, and Billy, the rest of the wolf pack, and me in La push. We all made crazy faces because Jacob thought it would be a good memento. I smiled happily and giggled at the funny faces we made. I put the picture back and took one more breath before I got out the car and went to the door. I wonder if they are all done with their busy schedules. I was about to open the door when the door cracked halfway open and Jake greeted me.

"Hey Bells" He smiled. I looked at him skeptically, what is Jacob doing in my house?

"What are you doing in my house?" Jacob's smile shrunk a little.

"Um…I was cleaning?" I lifted an eyebrow.

"Sure you were." I said sarcastically.

"Yep. Oh Bells, do you want to go somewhere for a little while? Maybe we can ride our motorcycles around Forks and La Push!" He grabbed my arm without waiting for my answer and pulled me towards the two motorcycles.

I was driving around town, bored, when I spotted these two old motorcycles. I thought it would be nice to ride so I bought them and asked Jake to help me fix them up. He even taught me how to ride them although I fell for the first ten times, I got better eventually. Ever since I got the bikes, I would go over to Jake's house and ride with him around town, but this seemed rather suspicious.

"Ok, Jake. What are you trying to do?"

"Hey, I just want to ride and feel the wind in my hair." he started his bike and got on.

"Sure, sure, but I believe you're trying to distract me, Jacob Black."

He grinned, "Now, would I ever do that to you, Bella?"

"There's a first time for everything, Mr. Black, there is a first for everything." I got on my bike and started it up.

"Yeah, the only thing that will never change is how I beat you at racing."

I looked at Jake and grinned, "Is that a challenge I hear?"

"Yeah Bells," he grinned also, "it is."

"Ok, Jake, but don't go home crying with your tail between your legs when I beat you."

"Oh I won't, but I will bring you a tissue when you run back home crying in your room." He put one hand on his heart and held up the other hand, "Scout's promise."

I stuck my tongue at him, "Ready…set…go!" We sped off towards La Push. When we're racing in Forks, the finish line is La Push, and La Push to Forks.

I was definitely in the lead, which was rare. Is Jake letting me win?! That is so unfair. He caught up to me when we got closer to La Push. We both glanced at each other and laughed. This was too much fun. Jake was beating me and he almost won, until I sped up at the last minute and zipped right past Jake and into La Push. I stopped once I reached my goal and ran up to Jake.

"What did I tell you? There's a first time for everything!" We high-fived each other and Jake, being a good loser, congratulated me.

"Alright, Bells. You win. I lose. Good job, I thought you would never win!" I punched him on the shoulder and he pretended that it actually hurt until his cell phone rang. He answered and smiled when the person on the other line spoke. Does Jakey have a girlfriend or something? I grinned. Maybe it's Leah! He spoke quietly and hung up. "Well, time to go. You're father wants you home ASAP!"

I groaned, "You're lying! You were smiling!"

"I was smiling because I was picturing you getting in trouble by your pops. Let me tell you, the mental image was hilarious!" We both started laughing as we rode back to my house. When we reached the house, we got off and raced towards the door. Sadly, Jake won this round. He grinned at me and I pretended to be mad.

I muttered, "Jerk" under my breath.

"Sore loser" He said quickly, but not quickly enough for me to not catch it. He opened the door and I walked in. I was about to ask why the place was so dark but a loud chorus of "Surprise" busted my eardrums. I should've known! I knew they would make a surprise party for my birthday but I let my guard down!

"Guys, you didn't have to do this!" I felt blood rising to my cheeks.

Charlie and Renee both came out with a birthday cake in their hands, replied, "We wanted to! It's not every day our little girl grows up to be a year older!" I smiled and hugged both my parents. Somehow it all became a group hug and I was struggling to breath. They let go after a few seconds and turned up the music. I cut the cake and got the first slice, which I must say was the most delicious slice of cake I ever tasted, and everyone agreed. Good thing there was more food since the wolf pack ate a lot. No, that's an understatement; they could eat a whole year's worth of food and still be hungry for more.

Charlie was first to give me a present, which was a necklace with an emerald stone heart. "Renee helped me find a gift for you since I have no idea what girls like." He smiled sheepishly and I hugged them both again.

"Thank you, Mom, Dad."

"You're welcome sweetie." Renee said lovingly and hugged me with all her might. All the gifts I got were so amazing. I didn't believe that things could become bad, but it did. Charlie beckoned me to come with him to the kitchen for a discussion. He seemed very nervous.

"Dad, if you have something to tell me- go ahead. I won't get mad."

"I know…maybe I'll tell you tomorrow. It's such a great day, and I think this might ruin it." I looked at him questionably.

"Dad, just tell me." I asked anxiously.

He sighed, "The…Cullens are back. They wanted to see you and make things right. They wanted to apologize for what happened…" He was searching my eyes for any emotions, but I just went blank.

So it's true. The Cullen family is back.

I silently thanked him for informing me and slowly went to my room. When I was sure I was alone, I decided to break my promise just for today. I cried. If only this was a dream. If only this was all just a crude ruse just to make me feel bad. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I heard the door open and someone flopped on my bed and handed me a tissue.

"I told you I would bring you a tissue." I smiled and blew my nose.

"Thanks."

"I heard that…they…were coming back."

"They already are back." I said quietly.

"How did you-"

I cut him off, "I accidentally went to their house, and I saw them. Well, I only saw Carlisle, but I saw their cars parked by the house." He hugged me and I continued to cry.

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? It's not like you forced them to come back." I shook my head.

"Not about that. I promised I wouldn't cry…" He chuckled and got up.

"Silly, silly Bella." He shook his head in mock disappointment. I giggled while he went to the door.

"Oh, Jacob, don't be mad but I sort of did wish they would come back. I was just kidding myself. Does that mean I'm a witch or something?" We both laughed out loud.

"No, that just means you have good timing. Goodnight, Bells."

"Goodnight, Jakey!" He shook his head and closed the door behind him as he left.

I closed my eyes when suddenly; I remembered my sword that I had left in my truck. I opened my window, climbed down the tree by my room, and got my sword. I climbed back up the tree and jumped into my room before anyone noticed. I silently began admiring myself on how cool I was at that moment and got ready for bed. I put my sword by my bed so I could easily reach it.

I slept and began to dream about the accursed Edward Cullen. I was running after him just like a year ago, screaming 'Don't leave me.' continuously. This time, I was catching up with him. I was so close, I tried to grab him. I woke up before I could see if I actually caught him, but I wasn't concerned with that at the moment. I had grabbed onto someone's shirt. He was staring at me with golden eyes, and he still had messy bronze hair. He looked just as stunned as I felt.

I soon was caught between two questions. Should I kill him now or should I hug him? I gripped on the sword but my mind was still grappling over what I should do.

I heard the creature's velvet like voice whispers my name, "Bella."
