Jacob was the last person I expected to see on the other side of my door. He looked nervous, ringing his hands. I offered him a seat in my room. It was a mess. I had scraps of compositions I had written. I was trying to get my mind off of Bella…I was trying to write her a song she would hear and come home to me…

Jacob took and seat and cleared his throat. "So…I talked to Bella today," He started. I jumped up in shock. Before I could say anything he put his hand out to indicate he wasn't finished. "I know where she is, Edward."

Bella turned out to be a good addition to my little group. She made me feel…normal…As normal as one could be considering our state of body. When she had said that Edward left her, the human part of me, the part that is not quite dead, felt a pang of remembrance. I had been left behind by men plenty of times. James was no different. He was a cocky little terd. I saw the Bella wasn't going to be as easy of a conquest as I had thought when I found her in those woods. She had a lot of fight in her. I thought of James…and I realized, he had not been worth the effort of fighting her. It was nice, however, to have a mission for a while. I had gone after her so hard out of…boredom. Forever is a long time. You run out of things to do. I changed Riley in hopes that he would help me find her. He ended up not being as bad-ass as I hoped. But I liked that about him. He was tender, like Bella. He treated me like a Goddess. A girl could get used to that.

I wasn't too keen on Bella's suggestion of changing my diet. But it was worth a try. It makes Riley happy. So it makes me happy. I do slip occasionally. Hey, no one is perfect. Bella, I could tell, was still heart broken over Edward. I couldn't imagine why he left her like he did. He seemed so…he seemed like a stand-up guy. I suppose appearances can be deceiving.

Through much persistence, she got us a job. I was not really the janitor-type. I find no happiness in cleaning up after humans, but I have to admit, it is nice to have money. At least I can shop for better clothes now. Riley and I were just finishing up in the Grand Banquet Hall, Bella was in the smaller room, vacuuming and singing along loudly with her ipod. I heard footsteps and became suspicious immediately. We never had human company, not at this hour. Riley heard them too, he stopped what he was doing and shot me a look.

Edward rounded the corner. Edward! He was followed by his family. I scoffed and marched over to him, holding out a scolding finger.

"YOU are NOT welcome here," I hissed. My approach caused his family to crouch and hiss behind him. Riley was immediately at my side, ready to defend me.

"Hello to you, too, Victoria," He said dryly.

"What do you want? She doesn't want to see you, "I said, waving a dismissive hand. He sighed. He looked pained. He gave me a pleading look. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine," I conceded. "But if you hurt her AGAIN, so help me…" I wagged my finger at him and showed my teeth. I heard laughter from the big, burly one.

"Where is she," He asked, exasperated, looking over my shoulder. Just then, the sound of loud, bad singing echoed down the hall. Somehow a nicer voice in transition to becoming a vampire did not translate into a nicer singing voice…not for Bella, at least. Edward's face beamed as quickly turned and hurried down the hall towards the singing.

I was so close. I was dizzy with anticipation. When I heard her voice down the hall, I melted. I couldn't have gotten to her fast enough. I pushed open the door and there she was. Her hair was up in a messy pony-tail, wearing a white t-shirt and grey sweatpants. She was dramatically singing into the handle of the vacuum like it was a microphone. Her eyes were closed. Her ipod turned on high.

"Why does it ALWAYS rain on me…"She crooned. I couldn't stand being this far away. Her back was to me now. I walked over and grabbed her shoulder, turning her to look at me. The forced knocked her headphones off.

"What-" she started but gasped when she saw my face.

"Bella…Bella, I'm so sorry! I never meant to…I can't believe…I have been looking for you for SO long…God, I love you," I choked out. The speech I had planned to say fell to pieces, as I did as she pulled me close to her.

I didn't expect to see Edward standing there. Edward! I ached for this moment for so long. Any feelings of anger dissipated the moment he opened his beautiful mouth. In his face, I could see he meant every word. Jacob wouldn't lie to me. I knew he loved me. And I knew I loved him.

After he was done talking, I couldn't help but wrap my arms around him. He melted into me.

"I've missed you so much," I whispered, nestling my head onto his shoulder. "I love you, Edward. With all my heart." He took my face between both his hands and kissed me. It was so passionate, so loving. I swear I felt my heart start to beat again. Suddenly, I noticed the cheers and "Aw's" from the doorway. I opened my eyes and saw my family that I had missed so much. I giggled at their excitement.

Within seconds, they had all made their way to where we are standing. I was given hugs and pats on the head. Alice admitted she approved of my new looks, but saw that my sense of style was still lacking. Emmett wanted to know if I had…slipped…I proudly batted my eyes to show off their topaz coloring.

"Not even ONCE," Emmett asked, astonished.

"Nope," I replied, cocky.

"Quite astonishing," Carlisle said, looking at me thoughtfully.

"Okay, break it up," I heard Victoria's voice echoing off the walls. I pushed my head out to see her. She was smiling. Riley was on her heels. "So, I suppose you will be quitting?" She gave me a knowing look. I nodded. I reached out and hugged her tight. "Thank you," I whispered in her eye.

"Don't mention it…I'm just glad I can quit this damned job! It makes me nervous to stay in one place as a time," She said, with a grin. "I'm just glad you found your happy ending," She whispered into my ear. I hugged her tighter.

"We'll meet up again, soon," I assured her.

"We've got forever," She joked, giving me a slight punch in the shoulder.

We boarded the plane, heading back to Seattle. Esme assured me that Charlie would forgive me. She said he has been waiting for me to come back home. I felt Edward's arms around me tighten. Glancing up at his face, I sighed. "I'm already home."
