Anyways hope you enjoy this chapter, and as always I don't own anything and reviews are always welcome...Ohh and someone asked for chapter summaries, I'm sorry but I SUCK at summaries and I did try I swear, it just didn't sound good, in future I'll try to update sooner so you have less chance of forgetting what happened in the last chapter... :(
My heart was pounding in my chest as Arthur helped me into the wheelchair, how would they all react to seeing me again? Anna met us at the door.
'Oh Edward!' she cried, racing through the door. She pulled me into a hug, 'I'm soo glad your home.'
'It's good to be home.' I laughed.
When she finally let go of me I saw Cecilia standing in the doorway. Her face was a mixture of worry and relief. My lips twitched into a crooked smile, and then a breathtaking smile spread across her face, I held my arms out and she rushed over to me and pulled me into a hug.
'I thought you weren't going to come home.' she whimpered.
I squeezed her tight, 'Promised I would, didn't I?'
She nodded, 'But when the letters stopped coming, I thought that...I thought you were gone.' She pulled back and a lone tear slid down her cheek, I grabbed hold of her hand.
'I'm home now.' I said, then took a deep breath. 'Where's Hugh, Cedric and...Arabella?'
'Hugh and Cedric are waiting in the lounge room, Arabella is upstairs...She doesn't want to come down.' Anna explained, giving me an apologetic smile.
I nodded, 'Alright, I'll just say hi to the boys then.'
I wheeled into the lounge room, where the boys were playing.
They greeted me, and we stayed in there talking for a little bit. After a while I asked if I could go up to my room to rest. Arthur hauled the chair up the stairs.
'It's OK, I've got it from here.' I said, 'Thank you.'
He nodded and made his way back downstairs. I wheeled towards my room, hesitating outside Bella's room. I was about to knock, but then I decided against it, and started for my room again. I heard her door slam open and I spun around to see Arabella storm out.
'You didn't come.' she growled.
I smiled shamefully, 'I know, I'm sorry.'
'You promised, and I waited all day. I wouldn't let them cut the cake, they kept saying 'Edward isn't going to come.' but I kept saying you would, that you wouldn't break your promise. I told all my friends you were coming.' Tears of anger were falling down her cheeks.
I wheeled closer to her, 'I'm sorry Bella.' I tried to pull her into a hug, but she ducked out of my reach. 'I know I didn't make it, but I did keep half of my promise, I got you something really special.' I reached into my pocket and handed the bracelet to her.
'I don't want your bracelet.' She cried, throwing it to the floor. Then she ducked back into her room, but before I could follow her she ran back out, '...and you can take this back too!'
She threw my mothers necklace at me, and then raced back into her room, slamming the door shut. I could hear her crying on the other side, but I knew talking to her now would do no good. I went into my room, keeping the door open a little. I opened the bag Arthur had placed in here earlier and looked for a change of clothes. I found some and went to go into the bathroom, but I heard Arabella's door creaking open. I peeked through the open door as she came out of her room, still sniffling. She crouched down in the middle of the hallway and next to the bracelet. I had forgotten to grab it before I had come in here. She clutched it in her tiny hand and snuck back into her room.
