Chapter 2: Cullen's family visit


BPOV

I looked at the clock that hung at the kitchen. It was now 10.53. Jacob was going to pick me up at 11, he could burst straight through that door right now for all I knew. I picked myself up from the kitchen table and put the bowl of cereal that I had barely touched and went upstairs to get ready. I had already showered earlier so all I had to do now was change my clothes. I put on a simple tight black dress that went half-way up my thighs and put on my black Mary Jane's. I heard a knock then the door opened.

"Bells?" Jake's voice boomed through the almost empty house

"Up here!" I tried to yell out with no prevail while I combed my hair. Soon he was up and smiling at me

"You look beautiful. Now, stop combing your hair. We have to go." He said as he approached me and tried to take my hand.

"No. I can't go Jake. Why don't you just send me a video?" I tried to sound excited but failed

"Bells! He's your father! You have to go. If it's about those vampires…" He smiled as he cracked his knuckles

"No Jake. I can't go. It's not because of them. It's because if I go, it means that he's really gone, and I can't take it. I can't!" By now tears were streaming down my cheeks. Thank God I used water proof make-up. (AN: I know Bella doesn't usually use make-up, but I figured I'd try it out)

"Bella, look. I promise I will be with you every step of the way. Okay?"

"Okay. Thanks Jake"

2 hours later…

I couldn't remember the last time I cried this much. It was like a combination of watching titanic and the feeling I got when Edward first left me. As the condolences came, Jake stayed by my side as he promised. It was comfortable to be near Jake again, after all that time together before I finally moved. Suddenly, I became stiff. A familiar hand wrapped around me, a cold, hard hug. It was Esme and the rest of the Cullens trailing behind her and Carlisle.

"I'm so sorry Bella" Her soft velvety voice whispered in my ear.

It went like that until it reached Emmet. He said the same thing, although he hugged me a little bit tighter. So did Alice, but then she also started whispering about shopping with me later that night. When it was Edward's turn, Jacob looked unsure but I think his expression was unsure of what to do. But I treated Edward like the others I simply hugged him and said 'thanks for coming' all the while I heard 6 vampires and 1 wolf gasp. He even looked at me with a funny expression.

"Bella! You must be lonely, why don't you come stay over at our house tonight" It was Esme that spoke

"Oh yeah! You can sleep in my room. I don't think anyone would mind" It was clear that Alice emphasized the word anyone for Edward and Jacob.

"I don't think that's a good idea" Jacob said

"What's it to you, dog?" Emmet challenged, a snarl forming at his throat

"No, it's okay Jake. Thanks for the invite, sure I'll go. But before that, can I go shopping first? I didn't bring enough clothes"

"Of course you can! I'll even accompany you! You guys don't mind right?" Alice was excited now, no one dared say no.

Then it was settled. I was going shopping to Port Angeles with Alice, Jasper and surprisingly Edward. We were taking 2 cars though. My Ferrari and Alice's Porsche. I went with Alice while Jasper drove Alice's car. It didn't take too long to go shopping and I just grabbed a cup of Starbucks and a chocolate cake for dinner. I didn't feel like eating anything else. Edward and Jasper were very quiet. Neither of them talked to me, but Alice was a very good company. On the ride back it was even worse, I had to ride with Edward for some bizarre reason and I had to take Alice's car since she insisted that she and Jasper take my car. But soon the silence was killing me.

"Okay, aren't you even going to ask me how I'm holding up? Or do you really hate me that much?"

"I.. I don't hate you. I just thought you hated me, so maybe it would be better to stay quiet for the rest of the journey" he replied. But I wasn't having that.

"So, what have you been up to? Found any other danger magnets?" then his expression changed. He smiled.

"No. That was just you. My danger magnet" he chuckled again. The rest of the ride went on like that and before I knew it, we were in front of the familiar white house. The rest of the night went very fast, I talked with everybody. Especially Alice. Before I knew it, it was already 3 in the morning and Esme insisted that I sleep.

I woke early the next morning only to find Esme trying to prepare breakfast. Then when Emmet spotted me, everybody was suddenly there. I changed my clothes to my usual training outfit, ate my breakfast and told everybody I was going for a quick jog.

"What? Bella going jogging? Is this some kind of sick joke?" Then Emmet's laughter boomed through the house.

"Later Emmet" I said with a smile as I exited the front door. Not long after I started enjoying the nature Edward was next to me, running like a normal human.

"Since when do you jog? As I remember you used to trip a lot" His sweet velvet voice said then after which he let out a small giggle

"Oh, thanks! That was very sweet of you"

"Oh come on Bella, I thought we were friends" He said with a worried expression

"Exactly Edward. We were" The rest of the jog was pleasant. He had asked me several different questions about my new life, my sister, my nephew and many others. We kept on jogging until we came across the clearing where the land touched a lake. I remembered going here once. The rocks and moss smelled familiar so I sat at one of the rocks and Edward lightly touched my shoulder. When I looked up, our faces were only inches from one another.

"We shouldn't do this" His velvety voice said. I shivered when his cold breath lingered on my skin.

"I totally, completely agree" I said. But I started hyperventilating. His face got closer and closer, his hands that were on my shoulders swiftly moved to my cheek. Suddenly, his lips touched mine. It was a very soft kiss, I opened my mouth and his tongue entered so slowly but as my hand started moving up his chest, he quickly jerked away.

"Bella, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that" He said as he started retreating backwards. I quickly got up and attempted to reach out to him but that made it even worse

"It's okay Edward" But it didn't work. He ran. I couldn't catch him. And before I knew it, my heart was broken. Again.


So did you guys like it? What do you think I should do next? I'm open to suggestions!
