Sorry for the big wait, please don't kill me. My computer's hard drive died and now I have to go to my grandmother's house every time I want to use a computer, until I get a new laptop. This is a big chapter, and I have already written half of the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight
Over the past couple of days I have gotten to know most of the Cullens. Alice is a shopping freak. She begged me to go shopping with her yesterday. It did not go so well. Now right after I get out of the hospital, I have to go to the mall. Emmett is such a goofball, and he makes me laugh and blush so hard. When I blush he laughs, and that makes me blush even harder. Jasper is a silent guy. He visiblely flinches when whenever I blush, and he had to leave the room when Carlisle had to draw blood from me. Esme is so caring and so very loving. She smiles whenever smiles at me. Carlisle is very kind and he is so fast and sleek with his work. Edward is breathtakingly beautiful with his lopped sided smile. I really really like him. I still haven't gotten to know Rosalie. I don't know why she doesn't like me. Well everybody is going to be here for me today, because today is the day for me to leave this prison.
I woke up at the crack of dawn with a smile on my face. Carlisle came to my room at 7:00 am
"Hello, Bella, how are you this morning?"
"I am great, Carlisle, I am just so excited to get out of here. I've been here nonstop for days."
"Oh, I know how you feel."
Edward came at 8:00am.
"Hey, Bella, are you ready to go? Everybody's here and Carlisle took the day off to be here for you."
"Aww, he didn't have to take the day off for me."
"No he wanted to, Bella."
"Well, okay, just let me get ready first."
Edward nodded and walked out the room.
I took a deep breath and got up. I slowly walked to the bathroom. My yes were red and swollen, and my face looked flushed. My stomach and my throat felt so sore. I sighed and shook my head. I took off my hospital gown and put on my Aero Black hoodie with some black skinny jeans. I also put on some black ballet shoes. I ran my fingers through my hair to try to tame it.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Bella, are you ready?"
I sighed- Edward
"Yeah, I'm ready
I opened the door and stepped out.
"I'm really nervous, Edward."
He took my hand.
"There's nothing to be nervous about, my love."
Did he just call me love?
"Come on Bella!"
"Okay, Okay."
He led me out onto the hallway and into the elevator. When we got to the ground floor, we walked to the main lobby where all of the family were gathered. They stood up on our entrance. The moment, Edward stepped away, everyone attacked me, hugging me, expressing their concerns. All of them except for Jasper and Rosalie. After they stopped crowding me, and stepped away, Rosalie came running to me. She looked at me with her big golden eyes and right then and there, I knew she was sorry. Then she crushed me to her in a bone-crushing hug.
"I'm so sorry, Bella, I'm sorry for the way I've ever acted to you, I was just jealous on how youthful you are, how smart, and how kind you are. Please say you'll forgive me."
"I can forgive you, Rosalie, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Jasper looked at me,
"How can I follow up on that performance?"
"That wasn't a performance, but you can start with a hug."
Jasper hesitated.
"Come on, I'm waiting."
"Oh… Okay."
He walked over and gave me a warm-sincere hug.
Alice piped up, "Come on, lets go home."
Next thing I know, I'm in the Cullen's living room talking.
"How did you guys find out?"
"Edward," Emmett mumbled.
After that, it was an awkward silence. Carlisle broke it.
"Bella, we have something we have to ask you. We know that you are an orphan and we love you so much."
"You do?" I asked, tears welling up in my eyes.
"Yes we do, we all do, so we were wondering, would you like to be apart of this family?"
"Really? Yes! Yes! I would love to be apart of this family."
"Good, good."
"Um…" Rosalie hesitated.
"Go ahead, Rosalie", Carlisle encouraged.
"Well, I have always wanted a child and Bella's twelve, and I was wondering, can I adopt Bella?"
"Well it's not up to me, it's up to Bella." Carlisle said.
"Rosalie, I would love for you and Emmett to be my parents, right Emmett?"
"Right, Bella."
"Thank you so much, Bella for choosing me, and thank you Emmett for getting ready to be a dad."
"Your welcome Rose," Emmett and I said at the same time.
"Well I have one quick question," Edward asked.
"What is it?"
"Where is the orphanage?"
"Well…" I hesitated.
"Where is it? You know we won't judge you, honey." Esme expressed.
"Okay. I lived in a very small town in Georgia."
"How did you get to all the way to Washington?" Edward asked.
"I had money saved up before the accident, and I couldn't get my mom's money because I am still a minor. One day, I just got fed up from being in the orphanage, and I caught the cheapest plane going the farthest away from Georgia. There's no better place than Washington."
Emmett jumped up, "Did kids there tease and pick on you?"
"Kind of, but I do have a best friend there. She also went to my school."
"I will tear them to pieces!" Emmett roared.
"Let's not get hasty here; we can't get hasty, no matter how much we want to tear them to pieces." Edward pleaded.
"Right then. It's settled. We're going to Georgia." Carlisle declared.
Then Alice screamed so loud, I thought she would bust my eardrums.
"Alice would you stop, please. You're hurting Bella!"
She stopped immediately.
"I'm so sorry, Bella." Alice said, ashamed.
"It's totally okay, Alice, it's really no big deal at all," I expressed.
"Good. Thanks Bella. I'll go buy airplane tickets online," and disappeared upstairs.
Edward came up behind me, "I am really glad you're staying here with us." He whispered in my ear.
I shuddered with pleasure.
Shortly after getting on the plane, I started to feel regret. Then halfway through the six hour plane ride, Jasper confronted me.
"Hey, what's wrong, squirt?"
"Nothing, Jasper." I groaned.
"Nope, something's wrong, I've grown accustomed to that face."
I have a face? Dang. Now I need to watch out for that.
"Are you feeling regret or something?" Jasper questioned.
"No. I am fine, probably just tired."
He looked at me hard. Silent.
"Okay, Okay, I kind of am."
"Don't worry, Bells, we love you, we'll always love you."
"I know that, I just don't know if I am ready to love yet or if I am really worthy of being a Cullen yet."
"Well I bet that whatever you do will be the right decision."
Then he got up and left before I could even say anything else. At least I have three more hours to think my decision over. Might as well go to sleep. Too bad I didn't know what would happen next and how it changed my life forever.
Hope you liked this chapter. Review if you want more.
