Chapter 7 BPOV

I was laying on my bed until Chelsea called up that we would be leaving in thirty minutes, and that I was to wear my white bubble dress with the thick straps, a bright red belt, red pumps, a red headband and necklace with the matching bracelet and earrings, and my hair was to be curled with minimal make up applied. She always expected perfection, and I wasn't going to contradict her. In twenty five minutes I stood looking presentable at the top or the stairs. Charlie was in a trendy suit, and Chelsea looked the part on a hip mom. She was the right age to have a teenager, but she was still beautiful beyond imagine.

"Bells, my, my, my. Don't you look beautiful! Edward is gonna kill himself for letting you go!" Charlie smiled at me and then glanced over at his wife, appreciating her beauty. Almost enough to make me sick, and I was a vampire! I shouldn't be able to get sick! "And I must be the luckiest man alive! I get to escort two beautiful women tonight." He laughed a hearty and full laugh, one that reminds me of my human days, his old voice buried beneath the bells.

And with that, we were off. We headed out to the family car, an Escalade. It was a vintage, very nice and expensive to keep it up to date with the environmental codes. I was pissed I couldn't ride my motorcycle. We drove through the soggy wilderness of Forks, going to the Cullen's mansion. I didn't want to be here. They were all going to try to reconcile with me. It would just be plain stupid. I didn't want it, and they didn't want it, or else they wouldn't have abandoned me in the first place. And what were we going to do? Eat dinner? That was a laughable theory. And I didn't want to use Alice's visions to see if I was correct.

We finally got to the end of their long drive and got out of the car. Immediately Esme opened the door. "Welcome, friends," she crooned. "Can I get you anything… What a silly question!" she continued to prattle on nervously. Not able to concentrate. Without Jasper's ability, I could sense the nervous and the tense atmosphere. I was mad at all the Cullens, and didn't want anything to do with any of them, so I just scowled and got over it.

Alice looked like she wanted to hug me but I wouldn't be responsive to it, so she did the smart thing and stayed away. Esme led us to the living room, and gave me the chair, and Charlie and Chelsea the love seat. They were so happy and on freaking cloud nine. (That wasn't a term I heard anymore, but I still used and loved it!) Everyone filed in, looking confused and sad. Edward seemed confused about Charlie's thoughts, but I wasn't going to let him in on that quite yet. I sent a quick shout out via brain to him, Be civil, but no funny business. I swear I will rip you apart and tear you limb for limb if you do, so help me God… That ought to do it. He looked confused, but I wasn't going to stoop so low as to listen into his thoughts, no matter how funny they might be. He was probably, from the look on his face, trying to see if he could get around my curtain.

Carlisle was the last to come in, and he looked as radiant as ever. He smiled at me, Charlie, and Chelsea. "Welcome! Hello Bella, and Charlie, as happy as I am to see you, I never thought to see you again. And Chelsea, you are as beautiful as ever!" I was pissed he called me Bella. I wasn't Bella here. In the last town, maybe. But here I was Izzy. They all needed to get it through their thick heads. Idiots.

Charlie smiled a warm smile and replied, "Carlisle, it is great to see you again. And just so she doesn't bite your head off, we are calling her Izzy here in Forks. I'm sure you understand seeing as how memorable we are here. I would have never expected to live this long either, but some things cannot be helped. But our story is long, and I don't think ya'll wish to be board tonight."

Then, Rosalie jumped in. "Oh Charlie, we would love to hear it! I mean we all missed Izzy." Her voice was laced with malice and hate, but had a cheery and sweet top coat. Like a backwards poison apple. She smiled a sweet smile. I couldn't help but look into her thoughts. Stupid Bitch, sorry Edward, you know it is true. She probably begged some creepy lowlife vamp to change her, and then lost control around Charlie. She is just a slut… I couldn't listen to anymore.

Charlie, looking confused when Edward growled and my look of pure misery deepened, said, "Actually, I think Bells should tell the story. I mean, it is mostly hers to tell. I will help, but she should tell it." Rosalie's look of joy at my possible stupidity was too much, and I saw Jasper look at her in what could almost be purely confusion.

"Dad, do I ha—" I was cut off. I really didn't want to.

"Yes, Bells, I say you do. It will feel good to get this all out in the open." He then added quietly, "And you won't ever have to speak to them again if you don't want to."

Everyone in the Cullen coven looked shocked by the final statement that had been whispered. Even Rosalie looked shocked by this statement not meant for her ears.

"All right, I started. Do you want to know? I will tell you, but most of you, with the expectation of Rosalie, probably won't like it. And no, Rosalie, I didn't ask anyone for this life. After Edward left, I would have been content to never see another creature that wasn't supposed to exist again, but life was never kind to me. My number had been up far, far too long." The shocked faces around me made me laugh before continuing.

EPOV

The torturous expression on my angel's face led me to believe she didn't want to be here. If anyone had said that to me, I would have said, "No shit, Sherlock! What was your first clue?" But this was my angel come to earth, the most beautiful being to have walked the planet. A beauty I knew that rivaled Rosalie's, hands down, not just to me, but to anyone. The boys at school liked each equally. It was crazy!

Esme prattled like a nervous school girl on her way to school for the first time, and led them to the living room. Bella's thoughts then invaded my head. Be civil, but no funny business. I swear I will rip you apart and tear you limb for limb if you do, so help me God… And the scary thing was that she was being serious. I tried to probe her brain for more information. I couldn't believe she would actually want to hurt me, but then again, I had hurt her bad…

Carlisle then exchanged pleasantries, Charlie didn't want to tell their story. That was understandable, even if I was curious. When I won my beauty back, I would get her to tell me. Then, Rosalie had to open her hideous mouth, and I don't say that lovingly, and ask to hear the story. Her thoughts were cruel. Stupid Bitch, sorry Edward, you know it is true. She probably begged some creepy lowlife vamp to change her, and then lost control around Charlie. She is just a slut… I couldn't listen to anymore. Bella looked even more miserable, and I growled, or reactions confused Charlie.

He wanted Bella to tell the story. I wasn't ready to hear her tell it, I realized. And most of the others weren't as well. Expect for Rosalie. She looked, happy? Poor Jasper was so confused. Bella tried to argue, but it was no use. Charlie was going to make her. He said that she had too. Then, she never had to speak with us again. He hadn't meant for us to hear it, but we did none the less, and I was shocked that she wouldn't want to at least talk to us!

Then, my angel spoke. It was the first time she addressed me directly, even if it was my whole family. She said, "All right, I started. Do you want to know? I will tell you, but most of you, with the expectation of Rosalie, probably won't like it. And no, Rosalie, I didn't ask anyone for this life. After Edward left, I would have been content to never see another creature that wasn't supposed to exist again, but life was never kind to me. My number had been up far, far too long." She laughed at our expressions, even Rosalie's was surprised. But the second thing I thought of, after she dissed Rosalie in front of everyone, and the fact she was upset by this, was the fact that she said my name. That had me on cloud nine.
