CHAPTER 7:

A/N: Enjoy

DISCLAIMER: I don't own twilight or the Characters, although the Cullen males do own me =]

Alice's P.O.V

"Hi Charlie, can we talk?" I asked in a sad voice, before I grabbed his arm and dragged him outside. I put on the saddest face I could manage, and looked him in the eyes. I could tell that the expression on my face was breaking his heart. PERFECT.

"What's the matter Alice?" he asked sympathetically.

I sniffled quietly and looked into his eyes sadly. I then proceeded to walk across the street and lean against a tree, so that Bella couldn't hear us if she was eavesdropping. "Charlie, I did something and I don't want you to be mad at me." I sniffled again and started sobbing.

He walked up and hugged. "Alice, whatever it is, you can tell me." he said sincerely.

Once he released me from the hug, I looked sadly into his eyes and sniffled again. "Okay, well a few days before we moved back here, I went to visit my uncle in Vermont to tell him goodbye. While I was there, I went to the car dealership he owns to look at the cars. I was looking around when I saw a car that reminded me so much of Bella. The minute I saw it I Knew I had to have it." I said and looked up sadly again.

Charlie nodded his head for me to continue.

"Well I got really sad when I saw how expensive it was. I knew Esme and Carlisle probably wouldn't buy it, since I already had a car. That only made me sadder. My uncle saw how sad I was and asked me what was going on." I said . "I told him the whole story about how Bella was like a sister to me and how much I missed her.

"Okay. What happened after that?" Charlie asked, still confused as to what I had done wrong.

"Well, I went back to my uncle's house still sad and thinking about Bella. The next day I said my goodbyes to my uncle and his sons and got on the plane to head back to Alaska." Charlie was processing everything I was saying. "When I made it home that day, I went to bed right away. The next when I woke up, I saw that same car from my uncle's dealership sitting in my driveway. I was so happy that I didn't think about what I was doing; I went and got the car registered under Bella's name. I'm so sorry Charlie. I know I should have talked to her before signing the car over to her. The car will be here in tomorrow afternoon and I'm sure Bella will hate me for going behind her back. I'm sorry, I don't want you to be mad, I just wanted to get Bella something nice like a real friend would." I sobbed loudly into Charlie's chest. I pulled away and covered my face with my hands. I peeked through my fingers to see Charlie's expression.

He was sad and sympathetic. "Now Now Alice, I'm sure Bella will understand. You only had her best interest at heart." He said, trying to make me feel better.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked innocently. "If you are, I totally understand."

"Of course I'm not mad. I'll talk to Bella if she has any issues with the car." Charlie said, giving me a reassuring smile. I threw my arms around him and gave him a hug.

"Thank you so much Charlie." YES! Mission accomplished. I pulled out my phone and texted Emmet while Charlie and I walked back into the house.

'Mission accomplished. Bring the car over tomorrow night when Bella falls asleep and park it in the driveway.'

~Alice~

I went upstairs into Bella's room and helped her put her clothes away. When we finished I asked Charlie if Bella could come spend the night at my house. "Charlie?" I said. "do you mind if Bella spends the night at my house? We need some girl time before school on Monday." I said, batting my eyelashes. Bella saw me and rolled her eyes while she giggled.

"No I don't mind. Bella, you are free to spend the night with Alice if you'd like." He said, paying more attention to the game that was on ESPN.

"Bella, go pack a few clothes and we can head to my house. The whole family is excited to see you." I said and her smile grew bigger. She grabbed a few things we left. I drove as fast as the car would go and we made it to my house in record time.

The minute I pulled into the garage, Bella's door flew open and Esme yanked her out of the car and enveloped her in a hug. They hugged each other for quite some time before Esme pulled away and smiled warmly.

Bella's P.O.V

The minute the car stopped, Esme pulled me out and hugged me tightly. I was at home in her arms. She hugged me for a while before she let me go and smiled warmly. "I missed you so much Bella," she said, her eyes lighting up. "The whole family missed you." Esme was so kind.

I smiled and replied, "I really missed you guys too Esme." She smiled again and kissed my cheek. Carlisle approached me and smiled generously. I grinned and hugged him tightly. I was really surprised when Jasper hugged me. He had never hugged me before. We always talked about things, but he never hugged me. . until just now.

Everyone was smiling as we entered the big house. Emmett was sitting on the floor, playing a heated game on "UNO" with Edward. Rosalie was lying on the couch watching them. "Dude, that's not fair. You're totally cheating!" Emmett yelled in frustration. "You're totally fucking reading my mind and looking at my fucking cards, you fucking cheater!" Everyone was surprised at Emmett's colorful vocabulary.

"Emmett, language!" Esme yelled. He mumbled a quick sorry and glared at Edward who was chuckling.

"I don't want to play anymore." Emmet said and threw his cards on the floor. He walked up to me and gave me short but passionate kiss. I heard the laughter around the room and blushed a deep shade of pink. Emmet and Jasper went to the corner and played chess, while Alice and Esme took me to the kitchen and proceeded to stuff me with Esme's cooking. Esme and Alice left me alone for a while so I could eat.

Edward walked into the room and cleared his throat. I looked up and smiled half heartedly. He took a seat in the chair right across from me and looked down at his intertwined fingers. I pushed my food aside and gave him my full attention. This is the moment I had been dreading all day. Well, time to get it over with.

He cleared his throat again and looked up at me. "Hello Bella," he said, giving me that crooked grin that used to dazzle me. "How are you doing this evening?" he asked.

"I'm alright I guess." I replied.

"What's wrong?" he asked sounding genuinely concerned.

"Nothing, I'm just really tired. Alice took me shopping all day, and this is the first time I sat down and relaxed ever since I got up this morning." I complained. A few tears slid down my face. I don't know why I was crying. Edward got up and wrapped his arm around me comfortingly. I snuggled into his side and cried.

"Edward, you broke my heart the day you left. You didn't tell me why or where you were going, and that hurt. You didn't even call to see if I was okay; you just broke my heart and left." By the time I finished ranting, Edward's shirt was stained in salty tears. He rubbed my back in a soothing circular motion. Once I stopped crying, he tilted my head back, so he was looking into my eyes.

He ran his fingers along my jaw line and kissed me on the cheek. "Bella, I'm so sorry." He said, his voice full of sorrow. "I never meant to hurt you. The least I should have done, was to at least give you an explanation. I might never be able to make it up to you, but that doesn't mean I'll ever stop trying. After what I put you through, you deserve a happy ending." He let go of my chin and I looked down.

I looked up into his eyes and saw nothing but pain. "If you save me from the next shopping trip with Alice, I'll completely forgive you." I said to make him feel better. I really didn't have it in me to hate him. Not after his actions brought to Emmett. Hell, I should be thanking him, but I won't let this smug bastard have his victory. I can thank him in a couple of years.

He smiled and tightened his hold on me. "You've got a deal." She said, smirking at me. It was nice letting out all this pent up frustration. Maybe now I can finally move on. I put the rest of my food in the fridge and walked into the living room, where everyone was doing their own thing. Rosalie looked up at me, and instead of the usual cold glares, she gave me a warm smile.

I smiled back and went outside. I knew Rosalie wanted to have a word with me, so I sat in the driveway and waited patiently. She walked out and took a seat next to me. I was taken by surprise when Rosalie sighed and rested her head on my shoulder. I turned sideways and wrapped my arms around her. She smiled and gave an apologetic look. (A/N: gasp! Is Rosalie being nice to Bella? Why yes she is. I couldn't make Rosie mean, she's my favorite character in twilight. She's not mean, just a little rough around the edges. When you smooth out the edges, you will see that she is filled with candy and silly string =)

"Bella, I am so sorry for-'' I cut her off before she could finish her sentence.

"Rosalie, you don't have to apologize for anything. I should be thanking you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have Emmett and Edward wouldn't have you." I said wholeheartedly. She smiled and removed her head from my shoulder.

"I should probably tell you that Alice is planning on-" She was cut off by Alice's shouting

"You better keep your mouth shut and not say anything Rosalie, or so help me god I will ruin your life!" Alice yelled from the front door. What was Rosalie going to tell me? I guess I'll have to wait until it happens to figure it out.

"I'm really tired, so I'm going head to bed." I said sleepily. "Alice, will you show me where I'll be staying?" I asked as we walked back into the house. Alice walked to Emmett's room and told me to get comfortable. I changed into my pajamas and slipped under the warm comforter. Just as I was falling asleep, I felt Emmett wrap his big arms around my waist and pull me to him until my back was against his chest.

"Good night babe." He whispered and kissed the top of my head. I fell into a deep and comfortable sleep. I woke from my sleep at the sound of Alice banging on the door and shouting, "Bella, wake up! Esme and I made you breakfast." I groaned and got out of bed. I took a quick shower, got dressed and went downstairs.

The guys had went out to go hunting, so it was just us girls. Esme, Alice and Rosalie insisted that I needed a makeover, so I let them have their fun and played Bella Barbie. We went to the spa and got manicures, pedicures, and facials. After the spa, Alice took me to the "best" hair stylist in Seattle and he evened out my hair and gave highlights.

At sometime around 4 in the afternoon. We finished up our day of pampering. They drove me to the store and I got a few things for Charlie's dinner. They of course waited in the car, because they didn't want anyone in forks t know they were back yet. I had almost everything on my list except for bread. I made my way to the bread aisle and ran into Jessica, Angela, and Lauren.

Angela waved and gave me a hug when she saw me. Lauren and Jessica ignored my presence and gossiped about me as if I wasn't even there. It dint bother me though, I was used to it. Ever since the Cullens left, and I entered my zombie state, Angela and her boyfriend Ben had been my only real friends. Everyone else ignored me or talked about me. Once I was home Rose, Esme and Alice helped me make dinner for Charlie and we watched random movies that were on tv.

After I ate dinner, we sat down and chatted about our day of relaxation. Rose, Esme and Alice left to go hunting right before Charlie got home. He put his fishing gear away and walked into the kitchen. "It smells good in here Bells. How was your sleepover?" he said.

"Rosalie, Esme and Alice helped me make dinner. The sleepover was fun. When I got up this morning, we went to the spa and spent the whole day getting makeovers." I said cheerfully.

"That's great Bells." He said while grabbing a beer from the fridge.

"Your dinner is on the table. I'm going to shower and get to bed. I want to be on time to school tomorrow. Alice wants to make a big entrance." Charlie laughed and nodded his head. I kissed him on the cheek and went up to take a shower. By the time I returned to my room, Emmett was there waiting for me.

Emmett's P.O.V

I want to Bella's house and climbed into her bedroom. She walked into her room just moments after I arrived. She looked so beautiful. Her hair was wet and hanging in loose waves down her back. I smiled and pulled her into the bed with me. She crashed her lips to mine and I deepened our kiss. After a couple of minutes, I pulled away to let her get air. I wrapped my arms around her and held her until she fell asleep.

I sat up all night and listened to Bella talking in her sleep. Apparently, Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory have been giving her hell since we left. This pissed me off. At this point, I wanted nothing more than to rip both Jessica and Lauren's heads off for making my baby put up with their shit.

I texted Rosalie and told her about it. I knew she would handle it.

'Rosie,

Lauren Mallory and Jessica Stanley have been giving Bella shit ever since we left. I want you and Alice to take care of it. Just don't kill anyone. =)

*Em*

She texted me back just minutes after.

'Em,

A threat isn't really a threat unless someone dies. I'll see what I can do =\

-ROSE-


A/N: Please no one hate me for making Rosalie nice.
