"Carlisle and Edward picked me up and took me into the kitchen to clean my cuts. I could tell Edward was having a hard time with my blood so I told him to go talk to Jasper. I knew they were both feeling terrible about what happen. After he left Carlisle sewed me up. Carlisle was going to take me home but Edward came back. Oh the way home Edward was quit to quit if you ask me. I knew something bad was going to happen. I just didn't what. When I got to school the next day Alice wasn't there, so I figured she was with Jasper. When I came home from work that night Edward and dad where watching TV

Bella's POV

I didn't want to stay on this topic, but I also knew I had to tell it if I were to ever get Charlie off of Edward's back. For him to understand why Edward left, he might just stop the way he treated him. So I told them the rest of the story.

"The next day after school Edward met me at the house and asked to go for a walk we didn't go far, we could still see the house. Edward told me that the family was leaving and told me I couldn't come with them. He- he said he didn't want me anymore." I was having a hard time talking about this. It was beginning to become painful again. Like the hole in my chest was slowly reopening. I knew I had to go on even thou I didn't want to.

"After he left I tried to fallow him. I don't know how long I walked for; all I knew was that it was getting darker. One time I fell and didn't get up, I just stayed there, after a while I heard voices calling my name but I just couldn't bring myself to call out to them. I guess I must have fallen asleep cuz the next thing I know someone was talking to me and picking me up. I didn't have the strength to tell the man to put me down and leave me alone. I was just to numb with pain. After a while I heard your voice. Then I was in your arms. When the rain stopped it took me a moment to realize that we were at home. And then Dr. Gerandy was there, that's when I realized that they were g-gone." I didn't realize I was crying till Aro of all people whipped a tear away from my cheek. I gave him a small smile and got up to stand by the window.

"I guess you could say I didn't really be leave it, till the phone rang and dad got up to answer it and came back-"Charlie interrupted me.

"Came back to find out you heard about the bonfires on the rez. You asked me about them and I asked you if he left you in the woods. And then the note." Charlie said.

"Note? What note." Renee asked.

"The note Bells left to tell me where she was." Charlie said.

"I didn't leave it." I said while looking at out at the city as the sun was over head.

"What do you mean? If you didn't then who did?" Charlie asked.

"Edward did." I said.

"That's why you were confused when I mentioned it. Because when I did it was like you didn't know about it." Dad said.

"Yeah that's why." I said. "After I went to my room I didn't really notice much, I tried to avoid anything that would remind me of them, of him. Music, TV, I didn't talk to my friends. I just couldn't it was like everything I heard or saw reminded me of them." I said.

"I couldn't say anything to you without fear of you breaking down on me. It really was like someone had died and not left you. You have no idea as a father to see you like that. All I wanted to do was make you feel better and to know I couldn't, well it made me feel hopeless. So can you understand why I don't like him very much." Charlie said.

"Well if you could just understand why he left then I'm pretty sure you wouldn't treat him like that anymore." I said as I turned back at my dad defending Edward like I always do when we got like this.

"Then tell me already." He said getting out of his chair too.

"TO PORTECT ME OKAY! He left to protect me. He said his world wasn't safe for me and he wanted to give me a normal human life, that's why he left." I said.

"Oh, ok I'll treat him better then, but as you know you violated your probation and I can't ground you cuz we both know how well you do with that. So that only leaves us with one option for you punishment." He said looking at me and using his cop voice. He once said a few days after I came home from the last time I was here that if grounding me never worked he would force me to go shopping with Alice as much as she wanted.

"No. Please. Anything but that." I begged him.

"I'm sorry kiddo but you've left me no choice." He said.

"Honestly honey I don't see the problem, it's just shopping." Renee said shaking her head.

"Shopping! Just shopping! Do you have any idea what she's going to do? The hair, the makeup. The close, the shoes." I said emphasizing the word shoes. Charlie was about to say something but his cell started to ring. Charlie took his phone out of his pocket and put it to his ear.

"Chief Swan." Charlie said and all you could hear was a high pitched scream from a VERY happy pixie. Two guesses what she saw. Dad put his phone on speaker so Renee and I could hear it.

"Alice what's wrong?" Charlie asked still in cop mode.

"Nothing's wrong dad. She just saw you give me my punishment so now she's just really happy. So thanks now I'm not going to hear the end of how I should really wear high heel death traps more often." I said. I head a small little giggling sound from behind me and turned to see that it was Jane. I glared at her, she was making me mad. I walked over to her.

"Do you think this is funny Jane? You have no idea what Alice can pull off when she has something on her mind. You couldn't last a month let alone a year as a Cullen." I said.

"Is that a threat?" She asked growling at me.

"No. It's a bet." I said back. That's when Alice screamed again.

"OH I'M GOING TO HAVE THE MOST FUN EVER!" She yelled.

"Let me guess." I said knowing that most likely Jane was going to come back with us. Yep Alice was going to have a lot of fun.

"Yes and she's not the only one." Alice said sounding happier if that was even possible.

"Who?" I asked her.

"Alec and before you ask. He's coming to make sure Jane doesn't do anything stupid to mess up Aro's friendship with Carlisle. Oh I have to go Jasper wants to get away from Emmett, so where going to go hunting." She said.

"Emmett? What did he do this time?" I asked her as I walked back over to my seat next to Aro and sat down.

"Oh he was making fun of Edward with his thoughts and well you know how load Emmett can be. Mrs. Mason found out and almost ripped his head off. Esme wasn't please and she grounded him for it." She said.

"Well it's about time. I can't count how many times he's made fun of me for falling down." I said. She didn't say anything. But a moment later I heard Jasper.

"Alice was is it? What do you see?" He asked her.

"Victoria, she's smiling, it's an evil yet happy one."

"What is that Alice? That heat." Edward asked. They both gasped then there was this sound like wind was blowing.

"Hey what's going on?" I asked.

"We're running to your house or at least that's what we think. Alice and Edward where looking more into what they were seeing and they ran out the door so the rest of us are following them." Jasper said.

"So you're running to my house. Um okay if you find anything let us know." I told him. I was about to hang up when all of a sudden the wind stopped and all we could hear where a bunch of gasps. Then we heard a lot of growling.

"What is it? What's wrong?" I asked a little worried.

"Charlie, Bella we are really sorry but Victoria she, she burned your house down." Jasper said.

"What do you mean burned it down? It's still on fire." We heard Emmett say. I just rolled my eyes at him. Then we heard Alice again.

"Good idea Esme. Come on guys we have to get out of here and go into town." She said.

"Oh, that is a good idea. Bella, Charlie don't worry you guys are going to have a new house to live in by the time you guys come back. Oh you too as well Renee." Edward said

"What are we doing Alice?" Rosalie asked.

"Oh you'll find out. Okay now we can't keep wasting time by talking Jane, Alec the only things you will be bringing with you are your personal affects and PLEASE leave those ghastly robes there." She said.

"Alice!" Carlisle said.

"Sorry dad. Okay well your tickets are ready for you we will see the 5 of you in 2 days. Bye Bells." Then there was a click and the line went dead. Aro turned to the (twins) and told them to go pack their stuff while I handed Charlie his cell back. They took off their black robes and walked out of the room. While they were gone Charlie, Renee and I talked for a while with Aro.

"I still can't be leave that bitch burned our house down." I said getting mad.

"MARIE!" Both Charlie and Renee said at the same time.

"Sorry." I said.

"So Bella what do you think little Alice is up to?" Aro asked me.

"I don't know but whatever it is it's going to help us and she and Esme are most liking having a ball. Why spoil it by finding out." I told him. After that Jane and Alec came back in with backpacks and a small box each. They said goodbye to everyone and so did we after Renee and Charlie promised to be changed. Dimitri took the 5 of us back down to the car to go to the airport. When we got out side there was an SUV in its place. We all got in and head out of the city with Dimitri driving. An hour later we reached the airport when we got out we grabbed our bags and headed to the ticket counter.

"Hello I'm here to pick up 5 tickets to the U.S. Please." Charlie asked. A blond girl that looked like she was in her 20's with a fake tan looked up something and said.

"Yes sir Mr. Swan I have 5 tickets here one for you, your wife, and your children. Your flight will leave in a half hour." She said handing him 5 tickets. With that we went and sat down to wait for our flight. I talked to Jane and Alec and told them what was to be expected of them and answered any questions they or my parents had. An hour later we were in the sky on our way home.
