BellaPOV

I woke up at nine at night and sighed. Why can't I just sleep through the entire night? So what if I went to bed early. I wanted to wake up at a later, more normal, time.

Since it was a school night, Emmett and Charlie were already asleep. Well, Charlie went to sleep because he had work.

I walked down the stairs and quietly made myself a cup of coffee. Only two more days left until it was the weekend. I can make it.

The coffee was taking forever to brew, so I quietly start watching some TV. There weren't many shows that interested me, but I watched them anyways. I was used to waking up at night in all the other places I lived, but I'm still a beginner here.

My idea of this place was completely different than it actually is. I never expected it to be so…green. I thought it was going to be like a village in movies. Small and quiet, where no one talked to you. I'm dumb for even thinking that. I'm also dumb for causing such a scene on the stupidest stuff. I can be so weak sometimes.

Then there are the Cullens. I never expected them to be here. They knew my father lived here too. Was it planned? They were all my best friends in their own way. Alice and she being happy all the time, Edward and his sensitivity, Esme and her mothering nature, Carlisle and his compassion, and Jasper, although he's not a Cullen, and his quiet nature.

I let a sigh escape my lips. My life is so messed up. I'd love to be normal. I'd love to have both of my parents. I missed my mother. I don't think I've ever told anyone how much I miss her. When we were by ourselves, like when I was sick, she was so perfect. She smiled, she laughed, and she took care of me. She promised me that life would get better. That I'd be happy.

"Liar," I whisper. I don't think I can ever be happy without her. The buzzer goes off for the coffee, and I get up and make myself a cup. Coffee usually soothes me, but tonight, it didn't. My thoughts were setting me on edge.

I decide to take a little walk to clear my thoughts. I write a note, just in case one of them wakes up, and I head outside. I also made sure to bring a jacket. It's always so cold here. The wind made my face feel like it was pressed against a block of ice.

"Why is it so damn cold?" I mutter to myself, snuggling into my jacket some more. I walk down the street and pass a lot of houses. I always wonder what it's like in their homes. Are they rich and snobby? Or are they poor and kind? I always question if I'm the only one who has a messed up family.

I chuckled to myself and kept walking, until I reached a dead end on one of the roads. I turn around and head back to the house, even though I wanted to be out here longer. Ten minutes passed from leaving and coming back.

It was so dead inside the house when I got back. I stood in the entryway, contemplating what I should do with myself.

I look at the backdoor and realize I have never really been in the backyard. To pass time, I head over to the door and open it. The yard was small, with fences surrounding it. To my right, there was a forest. Straight ahead, there was another house. Same for the left.

Being out here wasn't really fun, so I head over to the right, deciding to take a small walk in the forest. It's not like I'm going to get lost, there's a trail.

I opened the gate on the side of the house and took a left turn, towards the trees. There was a sign that said, Nature Park: Follow Path

So I did.

And I got lost.

I followed the trail. It got narrower and narrower the farther I went in. Then it suddenly disappears. I though about going back, but changed my mind. If I kept going straight, I can't get lost, right?

So I kept going straight. I walked for what seemed like hours, but were probably minutes before I started getting bored. There was nothing fun about a forest. All I saw was green and brown. I didn't even hear any life.

Something told me to keep going. For another five minutes, I walked. When I stopped again, it was because I heard voices. They were yelling.

"You think this is my fault?" someone yelled. My heart skipped a beat.

"Yeah! I do! I think you planned for us to come here, because you knew she'd show up!" another person yelled.

I could easily name those voices.

Since I'm some stalker person, I walked closer, until I saw a humongous house, with two people in the driveway. Edward and Carlisle were yelling at each other. I saw Esme off to the side, biting her lip. I bet she wanted to stop it, but she was afraid to. My heart was racing in my chest. Seeing them is painful and wonderful at the same time.

"Just do it, Esme. Man up," I whisper. It was actually unnerving to listen to the people I used to be close with fighting about me. I looked on through the trees and bushes.

As if she heard me, she walked over to the guys with a determined look and stands between them.

"Enough!" she screams. They both stop instantly. "It is a miracle that we found her here. We never planned it! We already had this house picked out before we even met Bella. I don't want you to fight over this because no one was at fault. Understand?"

When no one replied, she smiles and says, "Good. Now I made some cookies that I'd like you two to try."

The look on Edward's face was priceless. I made a small giggle and Edward suddenly tensed, like he heard it. I hid behind a large tree and held my breath. I then counted to ten and peeked out. Edward was walking up to his door, but still glancing around.

He's so beautiful. I haven't seen him in over a year, and he's really changed, yet, he hasn't at all. I mean, he still has the same look, but he's a little taller and more built. He still has that look in his eyes that makes you want to crawl inside his brain to see what he's thinking. But now, he seems more mature and serious.

I can't really stick to that, though, since I haven't even talked to him yet. I knew at some point I'll probably have to sit down and have a chat with all of them. It's not going to be fun.

I head back to my house a little faster than I did on the way here. I stayed in the straight line, but after a half an hour, I still haven't reached my house. I should have by now. My heart starts to beat a little faster. It was dark, and I could barely see. Who the hell goes into the forest during dark? Oh right, me.

"Why am I so dumb?" I ask myself.

I look around me, but could barely see five feet in front of me. "Great. I'm fucked."

Since running blindly didn't sound like a good idea, I headed back to the Cullen's house. Weirdly enough, I made it there in less than five minutes. I don't know how that even happened. My direction skills must suck.

I stayed close to the edge of the forest as I decided to follow their driveway down. I'd rather be lost on the street than lost in the forest. I was happy when I didn't run into anyone heading down their long driveway. I'm pretty sure their driveway is one hundred miles long.

It took me longer than I expected to get to the end of their driveway. When I did, I took a right and decided to follow the road. There were more cars driving around than I expected. Creepily enough, a guy that looked about my age stopped his car and asked if I wanted a ride.

"No thanks," I reply. I'm not about to get raped by some creepy guy I don't know.

The guys nods and drives off. Weird.

There wasn't much out here that entertained me, so I decided to blast some music off of my phone. When Call Me Maybe came on, I groaned. I hated the song, but I still listened to it.

"Damn these catchy songs," I mutter to myself.

I couldn't help but softly sing with the music. Every time a car went by, though, I'd stop. I don't care if they can't hear me, my voice is embarrassing. No one wants to hear that shit.

After a couple more songs and a lot of walking, I see my school and sigh in relief. I know where to go now.

When I spot my house a few minutes later, I smile. I go in through the gate again and open the back door. I walk in and start to turn towards the stairs, when I see a shadow behind me.

Before I could scream, a hand clamps over my mouth.

"Shh! It's just me," the voice says. I recognize it as Emmett's. When he realizes that I'm not going to scream, he drops his hand.

"Holy fucking crap, Em! You scared the hell out of me!" I hold my hand to my chest and fight to control my breathing.

Emmett smiles sheepishly and scratches the back of his head. "So why are you up at this time of night?"

I shrug. "I could ask the same to you."

"I'm awake because I'm sneaking out to go do something. What about you?" Em says casually.

"Are you serious?" I say wide eyed. "What are you going to do?" Emmett shuffles around. What is he up to?

"Emmett." I glared.

"You never answered my question…" he mumbles.

"I couldn't sleep," I reply quickly. "Now what's up?" I put my hands on my hips for emphasis on the 'I mean business' stare.

Emmett rolls his eyes. "Bells, for once, can you just but out?" I'm sure my face must have showed how hurt I felt, because Em's face softened and became less malicious. "Look, I'll tell you everything later. I just want to keep something to myself for a bit. Okay?"

I sigh, irritated. "Em-"

My brother grabs my arms and holds onto them tightly. "Please? Just this once. Please!" The look in his eyes, the hope and desperation, made me rethink what I was about to do.

"Fine. I was going to go tell on you, but I won't. This one time." I gave him a pointed look as he kisses my cheek and runs out the door.

Once he's gone, I trudge up the stairs and head into my room.

"I am so done with life right now," I say to myself, rubbing my head as a massive headache comes on.
