Jasper opened his mouth to say something but before he could we realized that the limo was pulling up to my house. I had a very modest home, not wanting the fame to go to my head I had picked a small cottage. "It's a cute yet beautiful home Bella, very you" Esme said as we all were exiting our cars. "Thank you Esme. Would ya'll like the tour and then we'll all sit and catch up?" Everyone nodded starring at the house before them. I was proud of what it looked like with flowers planted along the front. I had chosen red roses to add elegance to the home since people were still expecting extravagance but I only had a small cottage. I led them inside. "This is the living-room slash kitchen." Everyone looked around at the room before them. It had the kitchen cut off a little by a small bar. But in the living-room was a TV hanging on the wall with an L shaped black sofa in front of it. On the walls were many paintings that I had collected over the years, including one Esme had painted for me years ago. "Bella… it's beautiful!" everyone said at once. "I can't believe you kept that painting" Esme said looking at the picture of the mother and child that she herself had painted hanging on the wall. I led them down the hallway and opened a door on the right, "This is my room." It was again simple with a king sized bed in the center against the back wall and two cherry wood night stands on each side with a matching chest and dresser the dresser across the room from the bed with a some walking space between it and the foot of the bed. The chest was against the wall connected to the door. The was a bathroom connected to the bedroom in the far corner next to the dresser was the door that led to it. The room was simplistic but beautiful. I continued the tour showing them the spare bedroom and bathroom, and my studio for recording and writing songs. I then led them back to the living-room and we all sat down.

Carlisle was the first to speak, "How about we begin by you telling us how you were changed, that is if you don't mind. I'm sure it's obvious to all of us that you are no longer human?"

"I don't mind telling you how I was changed but hmmm where to begin? I guess it was about 2 or 3 months after I left, I was thinking about where it had gone wrong with Edward and I… I had kept blaming myself, thinking I wasn't good enough." Jasper glared at Edward, I ignored him and continued, "I was sitting in my apartment that I had moved to and decided to go out and see the town. I wanted to move on. So I went to a karaoke bar, it was open mic night so I sang one of my songs; you may know it… Too Little Too Late?" Everyone nodded. "It was at that point that I got my record contract. My manager Kelly happened to be there scouting for new singers and she told me that she was interested in making my voice one of the biggest things. I signed and here I am still singing. Well after I left that bar I walked home. I was passing a small alleyway when I heard someone who sounded like they were in trouble. I walked into the alley only to find Victoria. "Hello Vickie." I said. "Bella how nice of you to come, I was just about to start dinner. Too bad I don't have enough for two." And with that she ran behind me at vampiric speed and bit me. I never screamed from the pain.. I didn't move or make a sound. I just dealt with it and 3 days later opened my eyes to a completely different world. I have since killed Victoria and all of her little newborn minions, I have the scars to prove it too." As I finished I took off my leather jacket. Everyone gasped as they saw my shoulders. My white cami couldn't hide what was there, at least 30 bite marks on my shoulders and upper back from the fight. "Bella.. how did you learn to fight so many newborns at once?" Jasper asked obviously curious because of his previous experience with that particular task. "I had remembered your story from the southern wars. I remembered all the characteristics you described newborns having when fighting. It was useful though it didn't completely save me" I said smiling. Jasper grinned, then the slutty pixie just HAD to open her mouth, "Oh great another vampire that has to try to prove how tough they are by showing off scars." Without eve thinking I jumped on her knocking her back into the wall. "Don't you dare try to say that I'm showing these off, or that Jasper tried to show his off. These scars are symbols of tough times in our existences but they don't prove anything about strength. But your little comment doesn't make you strong either. In fact it makes you kinda pathetic and if you don't want to respect me in my house, you can LEAVE." I said through my teeth. Alice actually looked terrified. As I got up and looked at everyone they all had shocked looks on their faces. Except Emmett who was grinning and looked like he wanted to scream AGAIN! AGAIN!

Carlisle cleared his throat and then said "Well moving on from Alices indiscretion.. Bella you have a concert tomorrow, would it be okay for us to tag along?" "Of course, but since you know about that concert I'd like for you to please excuse me so I may get ready and have some time to prepare a playlist and maybe write a new song to perform as a special surprise for my audience." "Yes of course Bella we'll go ahead and take our leave and meet you at the concert." "Great!" I said. "Bella.. would it be okay if I stayed here with you so we can continue our talk from earlier?" Jasper asked nervously. "Sure!" I said, to be honest I was kinda hoping he would. I had missed Jasper, we may not have had much of a relationship but seeing as he had gone through the same thing as me, I felt a connection with him. All of them but Jasper left and immediately afterwards I started towards my studio calling behind me "You coming?" Jasper quickly followed and while I started coming up with my playlist he and I talked about the past and present.

A/N: I know the chapters are short just give me a little time and I PROMISE they will get longer. But I'm in school plus I have work so I'm super busy and never have much time to write!
