A/N

Okay I know this is slow and doesn't really have a point and I'm sure you're confused but I promise it will get better, less confusing, there will be a point and the chapters will get longer once we get to that stage. I have a few future events planned out so I have a pretty good idea where things are going, but if there is something you want to see happen just let me know and I'll consider putting it in here :) Also, I will be doing Bella's POV on the get together Rose talked about so without further ado, the next chapter. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!!!

I was going to turn around and pretend I didn't see her until she started walking towards me and my father.

"Edward, Carlisle! How good to see you! It has been so long!" She reached over to give me a huge hug but I just barely patted her on the shoulder, Carlisle did the same. After the incident between Tanya and I he couldn't stand to be around her. It was always so awkward. She obviously didn't get the hint.

"So how have you been Carlisle? You're still at the hospital aren't you?" My dad was a doctor as well. That's how I decided being a doctor was what I wanted to be.

"Yes." Was his only reply. He hated being around her. Even more now since she has been trying to start talking to the family again.

"And you Edward? I heard you got a job at a hospital in Seattle! That's so exciting! But are you moving back? Is that why you are here?" I could tell that was what she was hoping.

Since I left she has been trying to get me to move back to Forks and be with her again but I will not go down that road again!

"No I'm staying there. Apart from my family there is nothing here I am interested in." She looked down awkwardly.

I hope that got the point across though.

"Oh. Well family is very important!" We stood there in an awkward silence for a while. My father and I weren't going to break it first.

"Well I'll let you get back to your shopping. I hope to see you soon." She looked directly at me. I just glared at her and started walking by her.

I couldn't stand her when we dated and I can't now! I didn't want to be with her in the first place. She used me and in the worst way possible!

"Well that was interesting." Carlisle laughed

"If that's what you want to call it. Then yeah it was." I was getting very angry by just seeing her. Simply talking to her pissed me off.

"So I take that little confrontation to mean you haven't spoken since you left?"

"Yeah. She called me several times but I never answered."

"Well I would say you should forgive her, and I normally would, under any other circumstance. What she did was vile, cruel and wrong. You have every right to hate her." I knew what he was doing.

"Your reverse psychology will not work on me dad. You may have forgiven her for what she did to me, what she did to the family! But I'm not as kind or willing. She deserves it." I hated it when he did this to me. He tries to make me feel guilty for not forgiving her but I will not be doing that. At least not for an extremely long time.

We made it home, cooked and ate supper, which was fantastic, then I decided to go to bed. It was really early, only eight but I didn't want to stay up anymore. I was exhausted. When I fell asleep my dreams were of Bella.

BPOV

I was at my sister's house,until I get better, waiting for my best friend, my brother to come pick me up because Alice was running late at work. I didn't tell him or Rosalie that I was hoping to set them up. I think they would be perfect for each other! I just hope it all works out.

About ten minutes later there was a knock on the door. I was in the living room waiting and had to yell for him to come in because it would take me forever to be able to get up to open the door for him. I was struggling to get up when a heavily muscled tall man walked in the room.

"Let me help you! You don't want to end up back in the hospital do you?" Emmett said laughing

"I've missed you so much!" He pulled me off the couch and gave me a gentle hug which was an accomplishment because he normally almost cracks my ribs from just his hugs so he had to make sure to be extra careful.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yep! Thank you so much for coming with me Emmett, it means a lot."

"It's not a problem. I love meeting new people anyway. So I bet the broken leg and ribs don't help your clumsiness at all does it? How many times have you fallen?" He was laughing again

"Only once, or twice. Okay three times but the third wasn't my fault!" He started laughing harder.

"I can just see you lying there like a turtle on it's back." He was laughing so hard he was crying. I couldn't help but join in.

"Shut up and get me to the car." Both of us still laughing he picked me up and carried me to his Jeep. He buckled me in like a gentlemen and drove especially careful since I was so fragile.

The ride to Rose's apartment was a joyous one. We laughed a majority of the way but we eventually laughed so hard it hurt and I was in even more pain from the broken ribs. I'll have to ask Rose for some Tylenol when we arrive.

Ten minutes later we were knocking on the door. I was surprised that it was Alice that answered the door.

"Emmett!" She screamed and threw herself on my not biological brother.

"Hey Alice!"

"It's so good to see you!" I pulled him by his hand and limped over to Rosalie whom was talking to her brother.

"Rose?" She turned and stopped and just stared at Emmett, he did the same. Just like Alice and Jasper.

"Rose this is my brother Emmett. Emmett this is my friend Rosalie." I laughed at the stupid looks on their faces and went to sit on the couch.

I always hated nights like these before but I hated them even more now. If it weren't for Alice forcing me to come tonight I would have stayed at home. Since the incident with Jacob I've been terrified. I don't like leaving the house and I certainly will not do it alone now. It is hard for me to meet new people and I'm constantly looking over my shoulder and checking corners before I walk by. I know it is ridiculous but I can't help but feel like Jacob is going to be coming back for me. At that moment I was interrupted by Alice.

"Bella I did not bring you here to sulk. I could have left you at the house for that, you would have done it anyway. Please try to relax and have some fun tonight. I know it is hard but please just try." She hugged me gently and sat next to me.

"So when should we expect Edward?" Alice asked Rosalie.

"Oh we won't be. He had to go back to Forks to visit his family. He said he had been putting it off and he couldn't do it again. I tried to talk him into going tomorrow but he said he was staying the weekend with them."

"Well that stinks." Alice said in a defeated tone. I knew what that meant. She is wanting to set me up.

If it wasn't enough, me being in pain and whatnot, I had to come here, expecting Edward, which was the only reason I truly came, and then he doesn't show up. Great! Just my luck. Like always.

The night was okay I guess. Rose ordered take out and we all watched a movie and shot pool, well everyone shot pool but me that is. Emmett thought it was hilarious.

The entire night all I thought of was Edward. I didn't even know him but he never left my mind. Eventually it was close to one in the morning and everyone, but me, was paired off. Everyone was saying their goodbyes and Emmett started to pick me up to take me to the Jeep.

"I can't thank you enough for letting me come tonight." I smiled weakly

"You're welcome. I was hoping you and Rose would hit it off." My brother knew me too well.

"That was your entire reasoning for asking me wasn't it?" I just smirked at him. He didn't need an answer. He knew it.

After we arrived he walked me inside and checked the house for me, just to give me some peace of mind, and waited for Alice to get home.

Once she got there he went home and said he was going to call Rose. I was excited about that.

"Did you have fun tonight?" Alice asked me

"I guess, yeah. I was just hurting and wanted to come home. I had a lot on my mind."

"Bella? I know that you have had a hard time with the Jacob thing but..." I cut her off

"Alice please! Not tonight!"

She knew how bad it bothered me to think of what happened. No one really knew the whole story. Not even Alice. It was to painful to talk about it.

"Okay Bella. I'm sorry. I shouldn't push you to talk about it if you aren't ready."

"It's okay. It is just so hard for me. I'm always so scared and I just, I really can't talk about it."

"That's fine Bella. I'll be here when you are ready."

I knew she would but the problem was. I didn't think I could ever tell her about what happened that night. I don't think I can ever tell anyone. I don't know what he would do if I did. It is for all my family and friend's sakes that I not tell them a word.
