Chapter 4: Starting a New Life

Bella's POV

I was standing at the front of a yacht. All I could see was clear blue sea. The sun shone brightly on me. Most importantly, I was happy. Someone grabbed me from my waist.

"Good morning Sleeping Beauty." It was Edward's velvet voice.

I turned and gave him a long, passionate kiss.

"Umm, Bella?"

Ooops. I woke up and found myself kissing Jasper! I turned red.

I pulled myself off him and stumbled in the dark to get off the bed. I tripped and a pair of hands grabbed me before I could damage the furniture or myself. It was Jasper, of course. He turned on the lights.

"Jasper, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to. I thought I was kissing……" I apologized.

"Really Bella, it's ok. Just don't say anything to the others. You know how Emmett is." He smiled.

"That's for sure." I agreed.

I secretly thought of the kiss. It was so real, like he was kissing m back. His lips were so soft against mine……

Jasper snapped me out of my thoughts.

"It's early; you can go back to bed"

"I don't feel like sleeping", I said sternly.

"You should call Renee", he said obviously being the responsible one.

"Yeah, right." I weren't in the mood for a three-hour call hearing mum bragging and trying to convince me to go live with her in Jacksonville.

That thought brought back the big question, where was I going to live? Mum would be thrilled to have me back but they're already making plans on moving to Canada. Renting a place of my own was clearly not an option considering my financial problems. Then there was the Cullen's home. They all made it clear they'd love to have me but what would Renee say? I hadn't even told her Edward left.

I decided option number three was merely the best option. I made a mental note to make a prep speech before calling mum to convince her to let me stay here.

"Hellooooooo. Earth to Bella!" Rosalie was waving her hands in front of my face.

"What?" I asked not knowing what's going on.

"Hey, we were talking about where you're going to live now that ……. Anyway have you decided or do you need more time?" she asked rearranging her blond her in front of the mirror.

I was already going to tell her I needed to ask mom but what the heck? It's not like she cared enough to come here and pull me from my hair to Jacksonville. For once I had to act like an adult.

"Yes Rose, I've decided", I said.

"And……???" she pressed on.

"And nowhere feels more home to me than here does", I said truthfully.

"Yay!!!" she screamed," I've got it all planned out. We could have parties every night, go shopping, do makeovers, we're gonna be like sisters!" I was surprised at how happy she was that I was moving in.

"Ok, you can take Edward's room if you like since there's already a bed and you're familiar with it", she said without taking a breath.

"Yeah, that's great." I tried to sound enthusiastic.

Jasper came into the room.

"Bella, Billy just called. The funeral's at nine thirty."

"I should probably get ready", I said making an excuse to make them get out so they wouldn't see me crying.

"Great, I'll help you pick an outfit", Rosalie said promptly.

"I'll leave you to it then." Jasper darted out of the room.

"Do you have any black heels? They'd look great with……"she stopped instantly when she saw me crying.

"I'm sorry……you had……to see me……like this", I whispered between sobs.

"It's ok dear. I would cry too if I could when I think of my dead parents, family and friends. It's what makes us strong", she said gently while stroking my hair.

"Thanks Rose."

"Don't mention it." She hugged me for a while.

The funeral passed. All of the Cullens were present together with the Quiletes, who kept glaring at the Cullens, and some other member's of dad's family.

When we got home everyone was sobbing. Carlisle was the first one to collect himself and spoke,

"This afternoon we were going home to get your things. Is that ok with you Bella?"

"Yes, thank you."

As promised all my things were at my new home by four. Esme and Rosalie helped me unpack. As soon as they were gone I sat on the ground and cried.

Jasper came into the room. He lifted me up and put me on his lap while he sat on the couch with me on him.

"Sssssh", he said sending me waves of peace and calmness.

I nodded at him thankfully.

"You know what you need", he said thinking," a night out. If you want tomorrow you and me can go out or somethin'"

I hadn't got out of the house for days except for the funeral. This news sounded like music to my ears.

"I think I'd like that very much", I replied.

Later on that day I call mom. We spend ours on end talking, well technically she talking and me filling in with yeses and nos once in a while. Thankfully she understood that it was hard for me to move to another place and actually came to agree that I was safe here in Forks but on one condition. We had to keep in touch and I had to visit her and her husband at least once a year. I agreed reluctantly knowing that I could always come up with a financial excuse if I didn't want to go.
