Hey, I'm sorry for the late update! I have two very busy weeks at school, with much homework and tests. But after that I will have holiday! Yes! I will be in Spain for two weeks, so I won't be able to update. But still a few weeks before that.
By the way, I notice that sometimes I have some typos in the chapters, mainly because I don't have English as my first language. I wonder if maybe someone is interested to be the beta of this story? Let me know! I'm not really experienced with beta's and things, so if someone could help me a bit, it would be great!
Special thanks to 11morsmordre, who has reviewed to all my chapters. I love your reviews, they are amazing!
Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer owns everything! Well, not everything. I own the plot of this story and Edward Jacob. And I own much happiness right now, because I finally saw Pirates of the Caribbean; Dead men tell no tales! Because I live in the Netherlands, I could only see it then. It's so amazing! What do you think of it? I loved it so much! I'm so happy that I finally saw it! I loved the execution scene, and the reunion between Will and Elizabeth made my shipping hart do millions of tiny backflips. Well, I guess I said enough. This is the longest authors note I ever wrote. On with the story!
Recap: "Bella?" Alice asks insecure. "Are you alright?"
"Well," I say, pretending to think, "Except the fact that my sister who left me thirty years ago is suddenly standing in my house and seems to think I can easily forgive her, I'm perfectly fine, thanks."

"Bella, please just listen…"
"Listen?" I manage to choke out. "I'm supposed now to LISTEN to YOU?"
"Please, Bells, we didn't want to leave, but we had to because-" I interrupt her in the middle of the sentence.
"It's Isabella for you. Only my friends can call me Bella or Bells." I see how much that comment hurts her.
"But, Bella…"
"IT'S ISABELLA!" I yell at her.
"Geez, mom!" Nessie interrupts. "What is wrong?" Edward only looks confused. Not because of my outburst, but because of one part of our conversation.
"Leave? What do you mean?"
"Well," I sneer, only towards Alice, "Why don't you explain it, dear Alice?" Alice seems like she is about to cry. If she could, she would be right now. Her bottom lip is trembling and her eyes begin to water. Her body seems fragile, even smaller than normal. It would be sad if I wasn't so angry with her. Edward and Nessie only look from me to Alice and back. Their faces are a little confused. Just a little. NOT. They understand nothing of this big happening. I'm only annoyed. Did Alice have to come back? Then why? My life was fine, just fine, until she and her idiot brother had to rush back into it. She threw it all upside-down again. I was fine. Right?

I can't believe it. Bella. Bella is here. She's a vampire. And she hates me.
Well, she didn't say that, but it is what she means. And I understand it, I really do. But that doesn't mean I have to like it. Will she ever be able forgive me? Would I be able to forgive me if I was her? I don't know. I hope. I hope she'll be able to.
"Well?" Bella asks patiently. I sigh.
"What exactly do you want me to explain?"
"Well, they already know what we are, so why don't you start with your family? Why don't you tell them about what a traitors you all are, especially your brother."
"Traitor? Edward, a traitor? Bella, what are you talking about?" She doesn't even bother correcting me on her name.
"Maybe I'm talking about the fact he told me he loved me, for months, and then suddenly admitted it was all a lie," Bella almost breaks down on this point, but her eyes are not sure if they believe the words coming from her mouth,", and then he left me, only for me to find out a few days later I was pregnant? No, that's just normal for your family, I guess."
"WHAT?" I yell. "HE SAID WHAT?" Bella jumps back a bit at my unexpected outburst. Nessie and Edward don't know how fast to hide behind the stairs. I know that even though I'm little, I can get pretty scary when I'm angry. I turn my head towards Bella. Frowning she meets my gaze. "Please tell me he didn't say he didn't love you anymore."
Bella looks heartbroken. "He didn't." She spoke softly. Just as I am about to sigh of relief, she said: "He said he never loved me. That I was just a plain human serving as distraction." My anger reaches its highest point. I'm going to kill my brother.

After school I quickly run to my Volvo. I wait for Jasper to arrive.
"Hey, how was the first day back here?"
"Fine, I guess." I shrugged. "Yours?"
"I was bearable." He grins. I fake a smile back. He must sense that it's not real, but I don't care.
"Where's Alice?"
"Oh, she said that she is going to hang out with some girl she met. I really pity the poor kid. She doesn't know what will happen to her during Alice' torture." I nod. Something feels weird. Where are Emmet and Rosalie? How long can it take to walk from class to the car? Geez, even for humans they are like slugs right now. But no, that's not the weird thing. That's Jaspers mind. He is singing a song I don't recognise. That I don't know the tune is strange, but Jasper singing something to protect his mind is even weirder. He never does that. And I know he tries to hide his thoughts; he never sings, not even in his head. This is like the third time in his life he does that. But before I can ask about it, Rose and Emmet arrive. I have to ask later then, I guess.
In the car I think about Bella and her daughter. Did she have just one child, or more? Who was their father? Are he and Bella married? Did she move on?
That also makes me think of her stuff I hid underneath the floor. Sometimes I wish I didn't leave them there, that I had taken them myself. Then I would still have pictures of her to look at, and she probably would never find it! Meaning she also wouldn't read my letter, and never know about the proposal I was planning. But back then, I wasn't able to take Bella's stuff from her. I'm still not now. And I won't return to her house. That's too risky.
Hey, what did you think? I know, I promised this chapter had the conversation between Alice and Bella, but it did have a part of it! Can you forgive me? I hope you don't hate me because of the late update, I really updated as fast as I could. I have some more busy days this week. But, as I already said, after Tuesday I practically have vacation. There will be at least one update, maybe more, before I go to Spain. I can't update from there, but I will try and find time to write so I can update when I'm back! See you the next chapter!
