AN: I hope you appreciate this little gift of mine. I promised to try to post this chapter before tomorrow. So here it is, my gift to the people reading my story. If you have any hints about what I can write I gladly accepts them. I don't know much about mental illnesses or institutions so most of it is made up, just so that I don't get to many comments on that. Well enjoy and please review.
Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer owns everything twilight related. I own Eva, Robert, Grandma Marie, Grandpa Henrik, Renata and Jonas.

? POV
That bitch managed to get away from me. She was mine and I don't tolerate her being anywhere else. She smelled so nice and mouth-watering, besides she was gifted. Just like the one that got free. But this time I will not let her go until she is mine no matter what I have to do. Luckily for me I am a tracker so she can't hide from me. I will find her, and when I do she will be mine. My Bella.

"Bella wake up honey. You are going to the institution and meet Dr. Cullen and Jacob today." He said while shaking me gently trying to wake me. I groaned and rolled over, waking up was always the worst part of the day. "Ten more minutes please?" I mumbled trough my sleep. "Sorry Bella, but we are already ten minutes late if you are gonne eat and shower. So come on before I tell you about what Billy and I do behind closed doors." I jumped out of bed and speed to the bathroom for dramatic effect. I knew he never would tell anyone about his sex-life, but it still wasn't something I wanted to hear. I showered up and went downstairs to eat. Charlie already sat there eating cereal. I went to the fridge and cupboard and began making pancakes, Charlie's favourite. "Are you gonne eat that stuff or wait a little and get some pancakes?" He smiled at me and got rid of the cereal. While eating we talked about mom, Billy, Jacob, Phil and me. We also planned to ask if it was fine that Jacob and I could spend the weekends at home.
The drive to the institution wasn't long and I could actually walk back home if I wanted to. It didn't look like the usual institution. It looked like a big Victorian house with a huge garden. On the front steps a nice looking woman stood greeting me with a warm smile. "Welcome Isabella. My name is Eva and I am your caretaker while you are here. That means that if you need anything just come and ask me. Let me show you your room." She took my hand and led me trough a hallway and up two stairs. We were in the attic or top floor if you like. "You and your roommate are the only ones at this floor. You will be sharing a room with Jacob Black on request from Billy and Charlie. It won't be a problem since you are practically brother and sister. When you are settled Jacob will show you to the living room. I guess you have noticed that this institution is different from others. Here we are like a big family living together in a big house. Don't worry you will like it here, just give it some time." When she was done with her little speech she hugged me and left me alone to get settled in.
Only minutes later Charlie came back with a tall muscular russet skinned boy about my own age. "Bella I would like you to meet your new roommate and brother. This is Jacob." Jacob came in and smiled down at me. His smile lit up the whole room and I couldn't help but to smile back. "Hi Jacob." I said shyly. "Do you have a nickname or something?" I could have just looked into his eyes and known the answer, but I didn't like doing that to family, friend or potential friends unless they asked me to. "You can call me Jake if you like. Is it okay with you, to share room even though I'm a boy?" He looked down shyly. I wrapped him up in a hug. "Jake, why would I have anything against sharing a room with my little brother and soon to be best friend?" He smiled down at me and quirked an eyebrow. "Little brother? If there is anyone who's little here it is you Bells." Both Charlie and I laughed at that. "You might be big and all muscle, but I'm still older than you. So no matter how big you are or how small I am, I'm still your big sister and you are my little brother. Do you hear me Jake?" He saluted me and said "Yes ma'am" which made me giggle.
"It looks like you two are gonne get along great so that means it's time for me to leave. Bye honey, I love you." I went over and gave him a big hug. "Love you too daddy. Bye" I let go and he went down the stairs and out to the cruiser. When he had left I felt a big hot hand on my shoulder. "I know how you feel, but now at least have each other." I turned around and gave Jake a hug. "Now let's go down and meet the people. We are seven people living here in total. You, me, the caretakers Eva and Robert, Renata, Lauren and Jonas. I would watch out for Lauren tough, she can be quite mean." I turned my head up to look at him. "Doesn't Dr. Cullen live here?" He smiled down at me. "Um...No, he and his family lives in the neighbour house. It's behind those trees." He pointed at the trees in the back.
When we reached the bottom of the stair we heard voices arguing in the living room. "Why is she allowed to share room with a boy and not me?" asked a whiny girlish voice. "She's allowed because he's her brother. That's why. Lauren just let it go. You will not share room with a boy." Eva said with authority. A tall blonde nasty looking girl came stomping out and went past us and up the stairs. When she saw me she glared at me before she resumed her stomping. "Sorry about that. She can be a bit whiny, but don't worry. Come on let's meet the rest." Eva smiled at me and took my hand and led me into the living room.
Three people were sitting in the couch smiling up at me. "Okay, that old man over there is Robert my husband, he's 76. He's the caretaker of the boys." I giggled a little since she looked like she was about the same age. Robert looked like the regular nice and caring grandpa. So I believed we would get along.
"This is Renata. She's 17, just like you and Lauren." The girl named Renata got up and went over to me. "Hi." She said and blushed. I enveloped her in a hug and said "Hi." Renata had short ruffled hair, it was black with spots of purple, and bright green eyes. She was about the same height as me and looked like an athlete.
When I let her go the last boy got up and walked over to me and gave me a hug. "Welcome to us. I'm Jonas, and I'm a year older then you girls. I hope you will like it here." I smiled at him. He looked like the typical nerd except for the skin problem, he didn't have any. He was tall and lanky and he even used black rimmed glasses. Behind those glasses there were two dark brown eyes that matched the colour of his brown hair.
When everyone was seated I blushed bright red before I introduced myself. "Hi. My name is Isabella, but please call me Bella. I'm 17 and have been in institutions since I was 9. My mom Renée and her husband Phil live in Phoenix, while my dad Charlie and his boyfriend Billy live here in Forks and La Push." When I was done I sat down on the couch and stared at my hands.
"Why don't we have a question round to get to know each other? The one asked a question is the next one to ask. You are allowed to refuse answering if you feel uncomfortable with the question. I'll start." Eva said while looking around at us. We sat down in a ring on the floor. "Okay, Bella. Do you have any other family except for your parents?" This was an easy question and I smiled. "I have a grandma in Norway. She comes to visit me every two months. Grandma Marie refuse to speak any other language than Norwegian so I learned it. She was married to Grandpa Henrik whom had the same condition I have. They are my dad's parent." Everyone in the ring smiled at me. "That's great Bella, now it's your turn." I looked around the ring and my gaze fell on Jake.
"So brother, what are your opinion on the relationship between our dads?" He blushed bright red. "Um...I guess I'm okay with it as long as I don't have to see or hear about what they do behind closed doors." We all laughed at that and I told him I agreed.
"Renata, how many have you dated?" She smiled at me and winked before she turned back to Jake. "Why Jacob, are you hitting on me?" "N-n-no" he stuttered and blushed. "I'm just kidding. I've dated three guys, but that's it. Jonas, what is your favourite subject?" He smiled and looked pleased at the question. "Oh that would be the supernatural. Bella why did they commit you? You don't have to answer if you don't want to."
To most people in institutions that was a question they hated to answer, but not me. Either they believed me or they didn't. "I told my parents about my gift. You see, I am not crazy I just have a gift. But people would rather think I'm crazy then believe in my gift. Eva, how did you react when you first began to get grey hair?" I loved to hear about how people reacted to their first grey hair.
"Well, I didn't really react. I don't mind grey hair, I believe that the more grey hair you have the wiser you are. But Robert is another story. When he first began to get grey hair he panicked. He coloured his hair and got out and bought himself a motorbike to prove that he was still young. Now Bella I noticed you didn't tell us what this gift is. Would you like to tell us? We won't judge you." I sighed. They would think I'm crazy or they would believe me and be afraid of me using it.
"If I choose to I can know everything about a person by looking into their eyes. But don't worry I can look people in the eyes if I choose to and not use my gift. And I haven't used it on any of you. Eva when will I meet Dr. Cullen?" I blushed when I asked her. She smiled at me. "I can see why people would rather think you are crazy, but don't worry I believe you. Dr. Cullen will meet you tomorrow since its Sunday today. He never comes out in the weekends. He and his family go camping then."
It was already 11 o'clock so Eva sent us to bed. I was so tiered that the moment my head hit my pillow I fell asleep. I didn't get the chance to say good night to Jake or change into my pyjamas.

AN: So how was it? Are we all a little exited to see how the meeting with goes? If you have any questions just ask and I will try to answer. But now my clock actually are 11 o'clock and I'm going to work tomorrow so I better go to bed. So good night.
