"Moving in"

BPOV:

We are currently in the car. Everyone was calm … well, everyone except me. I'm frantic on my seat! Come on! This is a big… big…jynormous zit! Wait, that's not it but I think you get the point. What if they figure it out?! They might leave again! Ugh, stop it Bella… no, Izzy… Bella… Izzy… ISABELLA! That fixes my argument in my head, but doesn't help my situation now! Okay, let's see… I just have to be a bit different… ummm, I could… shop more… yeah, torture myself is more like it. Uh, I could try to be like any other girl out there. Ummmm, I can NOT be BELLA SWAN. Yeah, that summarizes everything and it is the MOST OBVIOUS thing in the world since I'm currently Izzy Dwyer! Yeah, that helps, NOT! I am Bella Swan and Izzy Dwyer… in short I am, Isabella Marie Swan-Dwyer. Like I don't know that but they don't and I do. I gotta stop this. I just have to be a bit careful with my actions but that doesn't help my mood now! I'm very, very, very anxious right now... Kate seems to sense my mood 'cause she,

"Don't worry about it Izzy" she tried to calm me, "Everything will be fine". I simply smiled at her. I'm glad I have her for the moment. As if fate's trying to torment me, their house began to be visible to my eyes and… and. . . I gasped, because it looks EXACTLY the same as the one in Forks but, why?

As we neared the driveway I could see Esme and Carlisle waiting at the front door. We went out of the car and I, carrying my small backpack, approached Esme and Carlisle. They both smiled warmly to me and I returned it with a simple smile.

"Izzy, you're finally here" Esme told me. She hugged me tight in human strength, "welcome to your new home" she said as she released me.

"I hope you enjoy your stay here" Carlisle said and shook my hand.

"I'll have a great time I'm sure" I replied. Okay, that's half a lie because I really did miss them and this a big risk so I have to be extra careful. Good thing I'm not THAT uncoordinated. Well, I practiced and I almost mastered it but in Forks I can't do anything about it, 'cause it was slippery and wet. They led me inside the house and it really was similar as the one in Forks. It was as beautiful, stunning, gorgeous… oops! I almost forgot my manners.

"You have a lovely home, Esme" I complimented. Hey! It's nice to give a compliment. She smiled and told me.

"You're the second one who complimented my home" she sighed. Huh, guess they never actually forgot about Bella. Maybe I could…

"Hi, Izzy" Rosalie and Alice said in unison. They both were walking down the stairs and we had a group hug as soon as they reached me.

"Come on, we'll lead you to your new room" Rosalie told me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a broken laptop in the trash can.

"Why is that laptop broken?" I asked suddenly.

"That's mine. My brother threw it across the room" Alice replied.

"Why?"

"He's upset that… I, um… uh…" she stuttered.

"Why would Emmett be upset with you?" I wondered.

"It's not Emmett… it's my other brother" she sighed. Other brother? That could only mean…

"You don't have to explain if you like" I suggested for it to drop and for me not to breakdown in front of them.

They both led me upstairs. We chatted the whole way about random things then I noticed we were about to reach the third floor. I stopped in the stairway when I saw Rosalie turn to the right. Alice noticed me the second I stopped.

"Izzy, you okay?" she asked, confusion in her eyes.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine" I started to move again. They went suddenly silent as they led me to his … the…bedroom. I can't even think about it. Alice was already at the door of the room

"This will be you room" she announced. She opened the door and we all went inside. It was almost similar as his former room. Well, I can't deny the fact that there's a huge bed in the middle and it has gold sheets but other than that it was similar, the CD's, the leather couch… well, you know the rest.

"Doesn't anyone use this room?" I asked. Hey! I know this is his room and a meltdown would be embarrassing.

"Uh, no. Well, currently because our other brother is somewhere in South America now" Rosalie answered my question.

"So he's using it" I stated. "Then why-"

"He calls every two months and I think he won't be back for a while" Alice cut me off.

"Izzy, we insist that you stay here. Our brother won't be back in a long time" Rosalie assured me emphasizing the long. When she said long did she meant years? I didn't argue truth is, I WANT to stay here. I feel safe in this room and the hole in my chest is fading. It's like he's presence stayed in here and now it feels like he's with me except he's not I'm trying to fight back tears.

"Uh, thanks guys" I said with gratitude. I can't tell you how happy I am.

Ben, Tanya and Kate came in with my things. They all went out of the room for me to unpack. I decided to put my clothes away first. I unzipped my bags. I looked in every bag and my clothes weren't in any of them! How will I get dress everyday? Wait a sec, it couldn't be…

I went to the closet and saw that half of it was filled with clothes for a female and it was designers. I know what you're thinking why would I freak out when I'm Izzy and I'm supposed to be used to it? Well, those were given by my sponsors and this are from Alice and the rest of the Cullens. I mean presents were already a lot but this is just too much! I know she dresses me when I was Bella but I still refuse remember? Because it was torture and I'm not really interested in clothes but it's the amount that makes me refuse. I don't want anyone to spend money on me especially those who are special. Sigh, I can't do anything about it. I can't argue with Alice and I'm supposed to be bit different than before. After I put my stuff away, I grabbed my toiletries and took a shower. The warm water calmed me down. When I was done, I decided to start with something simple to wear. I opened the closet and looked through my clothes until I have decided what to wear. I grabbed a pink tank top and put a yellow hoodie over it. I wore a pink skirt that flows just above my knees. I grabbed some yellow flats and slipped them on my feet. I dried and combed my hair; I placed a bandage on the mark that is located on my neck. I put on some mascara, powder and lip balm for a start. I placed my blue contacts. (A/N: I'm not sure if this was originally here but I think she needs it because they might know her secret through her eyes). When I was satisfied with my appearance, I went downstairs and saw Emmett and Jasper playing on the X-box.

"What's in the X-box that cuts your senses?" I asked suddenly. I got here but haven't seen them and now I'm passing through and they ignore me.

"It doesn't. It captures all of our senses" Emmett answered. Riiiggghhhttt, I thought, boys will always be boys. I passed them and smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen. I went to the kitchen and saw Esme cooking. She looked up and smiled at me and I returned it.

"How's your stay so far?" she asked.

"I remembered that boys just love to play with their toys" I answered with sarcasm, she chuckled. "What are you cooking?"

"Pasta Puttanesca", she told me. "Why not explore the house? Supper is almost done", I answered an ok then left. I already know what's here and there so I didn't roam much. I just stayed and sat at the piano. I placed my hand on it. Sigh, I really miss him. I wish he would come back but he doesn't love me anymore. Doesn't matter, I love him and I always will and he can't change that. I closed my eyes and went back to the moment he played my lullaby. My thoughts stopped when,

"Do you play?" Esme asked.

"Uh, no. I just remember someone who plays it" I told her a bit of sadness in my voice.

"Me too. My son, Edward, use to play but he doesn't anymore" she sighed and sat next to me, "And he's not here"

"Why?" I asked without even noticing until it left my lips. She sighed again but answered my question anyway,

"He hasn't played it for a long time, until he met the girl he longed for" She said, "When he left her, he didn't play again" she looked at me and I think she saw the confusion in my eyes because she continued, "Playing the piano hurts him. It reminds him of her and how he made a piece for her" I became even more confused with what she said

"Why did he leave her then?" I asked. I couldn't tell her that he left because he doesn't love me that might give away my secret since I shouldn't know that.

"He left because he thought that it was best for her" my eyes widened at her statement.

"What?" I asked with disbelief.

"He thought that being with her is not safe for her and that's why he left and he's not here because he wants to be alone and he doesn't want us to suffer with him especially me since it pains me more than anyone else to see him like that" she closed her eyes. If vampires could cry I bet tears will be in Esme's eyes now. I patted her back while she dry sob. In my head, I was half-mad and half-relief. Mad because that's the stupidest thing he ever did. Stupid over-protective vampire boyfriend. I am relieve and happy because I can't believe he'll do that for me even if it's ridiculous and he never grasp what might happen. Well, he thought that I was human and my memories will fade. Yeah, right, I rolled my eyes. Come on, as if I can forget Edward of all the people and vampires in the world. He's Edward for Christ's sake, how could I ever forget the only one that holds my heart until now. No one can ever and I mean no one can replace Edward's place in my heart for eternity!

All I could feel right now, is shame. I desperately want to tell them that I'm Bella but it's… it's such a big risk to take. What if they don't accept it? What if they'll be mad at me? I can't lose them again but… they all are a bit upset and down. I've been fighting back tears while thinking about these.

"You all miss her" I said not asked because it was a fact. She nodded and stopped sobbing and looked at me.

"I'm hoping to see my son again. He's coming back tomorrow for the holidays next week like he promised me"
