Chapter 4: Hes Not Home
I walked inside and Esme led me over to the living room.
"Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, we have a gue---" Esme was cut off when
Emmett and Alice came running downstairs yelling "BELLA!"
"Hey, no, I get her first!" Emmett said as they both struggled to fit both of them down the stairs. Alice was the smart one and hopped over the railing. Therefore Alice found me first,
"Oh Bella." Alice whispered as she gave me a hug, More tears came down my face.
"Alice, i miss you so much." I told her.
"I missed you too Bella." She said,
We were still hugging it out when Emmett finally had enough of me and alice time and pulled Alice off of me and gave me a bear hug.
"Emmett you gotta let her breath." Rosalie laughed.
"Rosie is right." Emmett agreed and put me down. "Sorry Bells." He apologized.
"No harm no foul Emmett." I told him
"Hi Bella." Jasper greeted.
"Hey Jasper." I greeted.
"Look I am sorry for your---" Jasper started.
"Hey no worries, i think it caused me more pain to hear you went to Volterra let alone a few stitches," I told him. He nodded and then Rosalie spoke.
"Bella, I am sorry too," She apologized.
"No problem Rosalie. Edward explined everything and I understand." I told her. SHe nodded.
"Wow look whos on top of the apology list now." Emmett commented.
I totally ignored Emmett and looked at Esme "Yeah so, is he here?" I asked Esme
"No Honey. He is in South America. But he is coming for Christmas." She smiled.
"What's he doing in South America?!" I asked.
"Grieving. He couldn't face us apparently." Alice said. I nodded not knowing what to say.
Alice led us over to the couch and then Jasper spoke, "So Bella, how did you find us?" Jasper asked.
"Brace yourselves." Carlisle warned.
"Its not that bad, they weren't mean." I told him. He rolled his eyes.
"OKay well I remembered Carlisle saying how he was part of the Volturi and that they lived in Italy." I started
"You didnt?!" Esme seethed
"I did." I told her.
"Oh Bella, I cant believe you went to the Volturi!" Alice sighed
"They didnt even touch me. Aro only gave me a hand shake." I told them,
"He read your mind." Carlisle confirmed.
"No, he can't." I told them as if it was obvious. "Edward cant read me and Jane cant put me in pain," I added
"Interesting." Jasper confirmed
"Oh I forgot, On my way to Italy I ran into Tanya." I smiled enjoying the memory.
Alice hissed when I said Tanya. "What happen?" Alice asked through her teeth.
"Well Tanya wasnt happy with me when i confronted her."
"What did you do?" Alice smiled evily.
"I asked her if she was the Tanya to guys talked about and she was and then I told her about me going to find you guys she was like 'I'm Edward's Tanya. Alice says she sees a near future engagment." I reneacted her. Alice let out a low growl.
"But wait, I'm not done. I remembered Edward saying how she clinged to him and asked him out several times. And then I told her that she was lying, and she was speechless. We didnt talk the rest of the plane ride." I finished.
"Alright Score for Bella, Bout time someone out tanya in her place." Emmett cheered.
He sounded like the Emmett that cheered me on in my head on the plane ride. To be honest the voices we kind of scary.
"So when is Edward going to be back?" I asked "Just so i know when to come back." I clarified.
"Come back, Bella, are you crazy, you are staying here until he gets here." Alice chastised.
"Anyway Edward will be back for Christmas." Rosalie confirmed.
I nodded. "Thanks,"
"Come on we will get you situated in Edward's room." Esme smiled.
"Then we have to go shopping." Alice chimed
"In your dreams." I spat at her jokingly.
"Aww but Bella!" Alice whined.
"I am serious. i have enough clothes with me." I told her.
"Fine, i see me losing anyway." She groaned and followed Rosalie, Esme and I to Edward's room.
