Finding Where I Belong

Stephenie Meyer still owns the characters.

Chapter 10

"Rose" I called out as I walked into her house and dropped my over night bag by her couch.

"In here" Rose called from the kitchen "come on in and make yourself comfortable I'm just getting some snacks together and Alice just called she'll be here in a little while with mani-pedi supplies."

"OK is there anything I can help with?"

"Go ahead and pick the first movie, all of my DVDs are in the cabinets on the left side of the entertainment center." I went over to the entertainment center and started looking through Rose's movies and she had a lot of them and most of them were chick flicks which was perfect for tonight.

I finally decided on "Step Up" I could definitely go for some Channing Tatum right now.

"Hey did you pick a movie yet?" Rose asked as she came into the living room with a bunch of blankets and pillows.

"Yeah I already put it in the player, I hope "Step Up" is OK I absolutely love Channing Tatum in it."

"Of course it's OK and your right Tatum is a total hottie in that movie. I thought it would be cool to have a living room camp out slumber party type thing."

"Sounds fun, I haven't been to a slumber party since I was ten." I said just as Alice walked through the door.

"Hey girls are we ready to party?" Alice asked excitedly and both Rose and I yelled "YES" then we all started laughing it felt good to act like the teenage girl that I was.

"Then lets go get our PJ's on girls and get this slumber party started." Alice yelled as she headed to the spare bedroom.

"Bella you can change in my office or in the hall bathroom whichever you would prefer." Rose said as she led me down the hall to her office and bathroom before she went into her own room.

I decided to get changed in the bathroom. Once I was done I went back into the living room where Alice was getting the snacks set up on the coffee table.

"OK are we ready to start the movie" Rose asked as she came back into the room. Alice and I answered her question by laying down on the blankets that were set up on the floor in front of the T.V. Rose nodded and picked up the remote before sitting on the floor with us and pressing play.

When the movie was over and half the snacks were gone we well they decided it was time for mani-pedis.

"Rose get some music playing while I start working on Bella's manicure. What colors do you want on your fingers and toes?" Alice asked as she set her nail polish set in front of me.

"I think blue for my fingers and purple for my toes, my two favorite colors."

"That will look good on you." Alice said as she started my manicure.

When all of us were done with our mani-pedies Rose ended up with red on her fingers and toes and Alice chose hot pink for her fingers and toes.

Well it's getting late, how about we put on another movie until we fall asleep?" Rose asked as she turned off the music. Dirty Dancing was put on as the three of us got settled into our makeshift beds and I fell asleep minutes after the movie started.

I was woken once again by my screaming from the nightmare just minutes after I fell asleep it felt like.

"Bella" both Alice and Rose said at the same time as they both shot up from their spots.

"Are you OK Bella?" Rose asked as she turned the lights on.

"No I need my brother"I cried

"OK do you have your cell phone with you?" Rose asked I nodded and pointed to my bag.

"Alice run across the hall and get Edward while I call her brother."

"OK" Alice said as she ran out and Rose found my phone and called emmett.

"Hello is this Emmett, hi this is Rosalie a friend of Bella's I think she would like to speak to you. OK hang on." Just as Rose was about to hand me my phone Edward came rushing into the room with Alice close behind him.

"Bella are you alright, did you have your nightmare again?" Edward asked as he sat next to me and pulled me into his arms. I just nodded at him as I took my phone from Rose.

"Emmett I really need you right now." I cried into the phone

"Alright Bella just try to calm down, is Edward with you?" Emmett asked in a soothing voice.

"Yes" I said as I was trying to calm myself down

"OK let me speak to him." I handed Edward the phone.

"Hello Emmett" Edward said calmly "yeah I can do that, we'll see you in a few."

"Bella I'm gonna take you to your brother so you can stay with him for the rest of night and I'll pick you up in the morning OK?" I just nodded as Edward helped me up and led me to the door.

"I'm so sorry Bella I hope you feel better in the morning." Rose said as she and Alice both hugged me. As we were walking to the elevator I tripped over nothing of course but Edward caught me and picked me up into his arms bridal style to carry me to his car.

Once we were on the road and my crying had mostly stopped I spoke.

"I don't think I can do this anymore I need to be with my brother, he's all I have left and I hate being away from him Edward." I said in a sad quiet voice.

"You don't mean that, your just upset right now."

"Yes I do mean that Edward I want to move back to the orphanage with Emmett.

"Alright Bella we'll talk about it more in the morning, for now just try to relax." Edward said as he pulled up to the orphanage where Emmett was waiting on the front steps. I quickly got out of the car and ran into his arms and started crying again.

"Hey Edward thanks for bringing her here so late."

"It's no problem, but we'll all have to talk in the morning about what she wants and needs."

"Alright Edward I guess we'll see you in the morning then" Emmett said while he was still holding me.

"Yeah goodnight Emmett and please make sure she gets some sleep" Edward said as he got back into his car and drove away.

"Alright little sis lets get you into bed and get some sleep, it looks like we have a long talk coming up in the morning."

"OK Em" I said quietly through my sniffles as he led me upstairs to his room then to his bed where we cuddled up together and fell asleep.

Emmett woke me up the next morning.

"Bella come on get up Edward's here already and we need to talk."

"OK where is he?" I asked groggily

"I'm right here" Edward said coming into the room

"Look little sis Edward told me what you said to him on your way here last night and you can't move back here I won't allow it, Edward is giving you a good life that you deserve."

"But Emmett we need each other, I can't stand being away from you. I want to come back please."

"NO Bella this arrangement is only for a few months and it's not like Edward never lets you see me we will still get to see each other every week."

"But it's not the same Em, please let me come back" I begged

"Bella please try and understand that Emmett and I only want what's best for you and we both agree that for now you belong with me." Edward said calmly as he came up to us and put his hand on my back. I forgot that he was even in the room while I was arguing with Emmett.

"Please Bella go home with Edward now and have a fun day with your girlfriends. I know you know you want to see them again rather then staying here. I promise I'll still be here when you come to see me on Wednesday.

"Fine but know that I'm only going for you, because if I had my way I would stay here with you."

"That's fine as long as your going" Emmett said as he hugged me goodbye before I headed to the car with Edward.

"I'm sorry to do this Bella but we all love you, you've become apart of my family and we would all miss you terribly if you moved back. Especially me." Edward said that last part so quietly I wasn't sure if I really heard him.

"I know thank you, I love you guys to and I'm sorry about the way I acted. You and Em are right this is what's best for me, but it's just so hard."

"I know it is but things will get better you'll see. Now I know two girls who are waiting for you I hope your ready for shopping." Edward chuckled as he parked.
