Ch.2 Lunch with the Cullens

BPOV

Biology was over and now I knew Edward would want to talk, which is why I ran out of there as fast as possible, while still managing to look human. Once I got to my next period I realized I would have to face him eventually, and I knew it would be a good experience. Then I looked up to see Alice about to sit down right next to me. The thing was, none of the other Cullens did anything, so I wasn't really mad at them. I mean, even Alice tried to stop it from happening, so maybe I had a right to be mad at her. She was trying to save him, or maybe she was trying to save me. Now I'm really confused. I don't know who I should trust, I feel all alone, but then that wouldn't be the first time since then. Then I was torn out of my thoughts by Alice speaking. "Bella, is that you?" I didn't know if I should respond but then again Edward would just tell them later, so I meekly nodded my head. "Oh, Bella. We're so sorry. No one wanted any of this to happen." Then I got angry. "Yeah, well it did, so don't start defending him because I don't want to hear it." Then I raised my hand and asked to be excused. I didn't have the heart to go to class next period, so I waited it out until lunch.

I was amazed to see Bella, but I was also worried how she would react to seeing all of us. When she acted angry to me, I knew it was well deserved or so she thought. She didn't know the whole truth and she thought he betrayed her, but it wasn't like that. When she got up to leave I thought she would leave for good, so I was shocked, to say the least, when she showed up for lunch. By then, all of the others were filled in about her and when she walked in we all looked up at her to see where she would sit.

EPOV

My Bella wasn't my Bella anymore, at least that's what I'd told myself all those years after she left, but now she was back and I might have a chance to change things. It would be hard but it would be worth the effort. By now it was lunch time and everyone was sitting at our old table and pondering over Bella, when she walked through the door. I was wondering where she would sit when she looked over at us and seemed to hesitate. I knew that everyone over here wanted her to sit here, even Rosalie.

Even though I didn't want her to become one of us it was still terrible what happened to her. I was happy when I found out she was back here, and Edward might be able to get her back, if he was patient. I regret now all the times I was cruel to her just over my own ruined dreams. Now it didn't matter, because she was what kept this family together and she was a vampire anyways so if we get her back I will accept her with open arms.

JPOV

What happened to Bella was terrible and if I could go back I would try to stop it, even though her blood was hard to resist when she was human I still cared for her. Everyone did, and they still do, if only she will come back to us. Edward deserves another chance and I hope Bella will be able to give it to him, because after she left he became an empty shell. Now that she's here in his presence he seems to get just a little bit of hope in his eyes and I can feel his sorrow for her. I just wish that she will sit with us so we can sort things out.

EPOV Emmett

My little sis, was hurt badly and she was the last person who deserved this. Edward isn't in fault really and I wish she would come with us so we could explain and hopefully be able to put this all behind us, but I'm afraid that it might not be that simple. I just don't want to see her or anyone else get hurt.

BPOV

I knew they all wanted me to sit with them but I just didn't know. I mean if I went to sit with them they'll all try to defend him. I mean I might sit there if he wasn't there, but then again it still would feel weird. It's been to long, what if they didn't care for me anymore, and they were angry that I'd left. But what did they have to be angry about, if anyone should be angry, it should be me. I guess I'll sit with them to see what they have to say. It's better to do this now and get it out of the way, rather than put it off and have it made harder.

Okay, I'm going to stop it here. Another Cliffhanger, I know, but I have some important stuff I have to take care of, so I hope you enjoyed this one. Next chapter will be up shortly. Until then,
