New Girl

C.P.O.V (Carlisle)

I pulled out my phone and slid it open but there was still nothing from Bella. I sighed as there was a knock on the office door. "Come in" I mumbled calmly. Jasper entered followed by Alice.

"Gee dad" He muttered as he entered.

"What is it Jasper?" Alice asked and I frowned

"There's an over whelming feeling of depression in here" They both looked at me.

"Sorry" I whispered before looking at my phone again.

"Dad she DOES love you!" Alice looked at me, then at Jasper and finally back to me.

"Alice the ball was three weeks ago. She's been avoiding me since I told her" It was true.

[Flashback]

"I love you Isabella Swan" I whispered in her ear.

I pulled her into a hug and she smiles at me before walking away. I watched her walk back to the table and sighed. I thought she loved me too; how could I be so wrong? I wandered back to the table and sat down opposite her but she was avoiding my gaze. Maybe I offended her. That night she rode home with Rosalie and Jasper came with Esme and I.

[End Flashback]

Ever since that night Bella hadn't been in the same room with me for more than a minute. She'd also moved back into Charlie's so I didn't see her as much. I sighed and realized that Jasper had left the room.

"I think she's coming round later. She hasn't decided for certain. Oh no" Alice mumbled

"What?" I said standing up.

"I can't see" a puzzled expression on her face "her future just vanished!" She frowned and left quickly. I slid open my phone again.

B.P.O.V (Bella)

"Bella!" I stepped out of my truck and saw Jessica and Angela running towards me. Angela hugged me "How have you been?"

"Fine Thanks. How about you?" I asked as we walked towards the main entrance to the school.

"I'm good thank you" Angela answered.

"Me too" Jessica added.

The day seemed to pass slowly and by lunch I was almost dying of boredom that was until saw the new girl. She was sat on her own at the Cullen's table, beckoning to me. I looked around at Jess and Angela but they were sat at the table, deep in conversation; they wouldn't notice I'd gone. So I moved quickly away from their table and walked quickly to the girl; that's when I realized how pale she was.

"Hi!" She shouted overenthusiastically. "You're Bella Swan aren't you?"

"I am. Sorry you are?"

"Rain Matthews. Please sit" She gestured to the empty chair next to her and I sat.

"Err how do you know my name?" I asked looking into her GOLDEN eyes.

"Oh that's easy! Everyone here talks about you and you're actually the one responsible for me being here" She smiled at me and confusion spread across my face. "What are you doing afterschool?"

"Nothing" I answered automatically. It had become a reflex action. I hadn't been going to the Cullen's house recently. Ever since Carlisle told me he loved me I'd stayed away knowing he was only saying it out of sympathy; He was the good doctor. How could he want me when compared to Esme I was more like a meal (Literally). Though I knew that Carlisle no longer thirsted for human blood I still couldn't believe that he could want me and not Esme.

"Wrong" Rain answered happily bringing me out of my train of thought. "You're coming out for a meal with me" then seeing the puzzled look still on my face added "If you would like to? So I can explain things such as…"

"…such as" I interrupted "How you know me, why you're here, why that's my fault and how you became a vampire"

She nodded "I knew you'd realize I was one. Since you spend so much time with the Cullen's"

I sighed. How did she know all this? "What's your next lesson?" I asked

"Biology and I sit next to you" she giggled. In an odd kind of way she reminded me of Alice; she was so bouncy and full of life.

Biology passed amazingly quickly compared to the rest of the day. Rain did indeed sit next to me and I knew she was going to ask questions about me; so me being the self-conscious person I am, managed to get her talking about her time here so far.

"Yeah it's been good thanks though everyone seems to stay away from me but then again I heard they were the same around the Cullen's."

"Yeah they were" The bell rang and as she stood up I finally took in her appearance; she had stunning long black hair; which contrasted perfectly with her face. Her eyes were golden though with a slight red tinge. She was wearing what looked like designer jeans with a low cut red top. Her black high heeled shoes matched her black handbag. In her ears were gold hoops which matched a chain around her neck and one 'round her wrist. There was something that shocked me about her and that was the ring on her wedding finger.

"You're married?" I interrupted.

"I was" she looked down at the ring; it was beautiful. A black oval was circled by a string of diamonds attached to a gold band.

"What happened?" I asked cautiously as we walked out towards the car park.

"He died" she looked like she would cry if she could.

"I'm sorry" I whispered quickly.

"Don't be. Its fine" I thought I'd better change the subject so I asked "Shall we take my truck? Or do you have a car?"

"I do but I ran to school this morning" she sighed.

"Well hop in then" I smiled at her and she got in my truck. I walked to the driver's side and also got in. Suddenly I remembered something "Can you do me a favour?" I asked not taking my eyes of the road.

"Sure" she replied

"Can you get my phone out of my bag and switch it on?" she did as I asked happily. I couldn't remember why my phone was switched off, I knew there was a reason but I couldn't remember what.

"You have eight new messages" Rain giggled from next too me "How long has it been switched off for?"

"All day, Can you tell me who they're from?"

"The first four are from Carlisle Cullen, Two are from Rosalie Cullen and two are from Alice Cullen" she flipped my phone shut. "You can read them later"

"Thanks. Shall we go to mine?" I asked

"Yeah ok so long as the food's good" she winked at the joke and we both laughed.

When we arrived at Charlie's (I called it that because I had always felt that my home was with the Cullen's) he wasn't home. We went inside and sat in the kitchen by the table. Rain asked if she could look around, I agreed and took the opportunity to read my texts.

Bella. Please come home. I NEED to talk to you! Txt Back. Rose x

Bella?! Why aren't you replying? Txt back ASAP. Rose x

I know your avoiding Carlisle and don't say you're not because you are! But I need to take you shopping. Text back. Alice x

Stop ignoring us and come home. Text back. Alice x

Isabella. Why are you avoiding me? Please reply. Carlisle x

I need to talk to you. I need to see you. Please reply. Carlisle x

Don't reply then just come home so we know you're safe! Please. Carlisle x

I meant it when I said I love you and I meant it when I said I need you. Please come home. Carlisle x

Just as I finished reading them I received another few.

Bella?! Where are you? Please tell me you're safe! Alice x

TEXT BACK NOW!! Are you okay?! Rose x

Are you alright? Please come home. Esme x

I have to know you're safe and if you don't reply to this text I'll come looking for you. I'm being serious Isabella because Alice just saw your future disappear. Please text back. Carlisle x

I decided that I should text back to the last four so typed my reply and forwarded it to them all.

I'm fine! B x

I flipped my phone shut just as Rain came back into the room.

"It's a nice house." She smiled and I shrugged.

She looked down at my phone. "Alice can't see me can she?" she asked. This surprised me.

"How did you know that?"

"Because I know everything about the Cullen's and everything about you."

"So why can't Alice see you?" asked cautiously though I don't know why.

She tapped her ring then took it off. "This" she held it up before putting it back on. "is why she cant see me"

I felt my phone vibrate on the table and looked down at it before picking it up and reading the new text.

Thank god you're safe. Esme is cooking dinner, come home and bring your friend.  Alice x

"Ready?" I sighed. Looking at Rain.

"For what?" she asked

"To meet the Cullens" I replied picking up my phone and keys off the table.
