I hope you are all well. Here is the next chapter kind of a little filter one between things. Please let me know if you want more of this story because if not I will be putting it on hold while working on other ones. So if you want me to continue let me know. I own nothing but any mistakes I might have missed, and I'm sorry if I did but I'm sick right now so trying had to keep updating once a week though. Hope you enjoy.

The next few days after my fight with my brothers were hard. I spent most of the time with Elijah and the others. Caroline had stayed with us as well and she and Nik were doing really well at this point. It had been a hard few days and I did a lot of crying while I was on my own.

I missed them but I was so sick of everyone always dragging me into the middle and wanting me to take sides. I just could not do it, because I did care and love them all, which made the whole thing harder, and broke my heart as well.

I was in the sitting room of Elijah's and my home when my cell rang. I picked it up to answer.

"Hello," I said.

"Hi, Bella" I heard Charlie on the other line.

"Hi, Charlie how are you? Are you eating real food?" I asked with a laugh.

"Yes, I am. I'm doing alright. You remember Harry Clearwater?"

"Ya, your friend down in La Push right?"

"Yes, he passed away this week."

"Charlie, I'm so sorry. I can come up if you would like." I knew how close they were.

"No, it's alright. I have been helping Sue his wife out with things. Have you talked to anyone from here since you left?"

"No, you are the first. I didn't know what to say to people. I can't really tell them I'm a vampire and I came to see my real family, now can I?"

"I suppose so. There is something else I need to tell you. The Cullen's are back here and have been asking where you are. I told them you needed to get away after things that went down. They don't know where you are though."

I sighed; of course, they are back now I have to make sure they don't find me even though I missed some of them.

"Thank you for telling me. I cant handle them right now when I have so much going on here."

"What's wrong Bells?"

"My brothers," I told him.

"What did they do this time?"

"There's a girl."

"Let me guess they both like her."

"Yes, and she is stringing them both a lot. I can't-do this with them again. It drives me crazy that they let girls come between us all like this. Plus Elijah and his family are here and that is one of the problems with my brothers they are trying to kill them and it's all just a mess really if I'm telling the truth. I just don't think I can keep up. I came here to get a break from all the crazy that I was in there in Forks."

"I'm so sorry Bells. I wish I could do something to help you."

"Well, maybe you can. What are your plans next week?"

"Work and home maybe down to La Push, Why?"

"How would you feel about coming up here?"

"You really want me to come?"

"Yes, if you want to. It would be nice to have some kind of normal for a little while. Plus I miss you and I'm sure you would enjoy it up here. As long as you are ok with Vampires running around."

"Well, I did live with you. I'm sure you will keep me safe. How about I come on Monday?"

"That would be amazing Charlie. I will book you a flight and send you the information as soon as I'm done."

"Bells I can get my own ticket."

"No, let me do this for you. You let me stay with you and you're coming here for me. It's the least I can do." After a moment he finally responded.

"Alright but only this once."

"Deal, I will get it booked after we are off the phone."

"Alright, I will see you in three days then. Bye Bells."

"Bye Charlie," I tell him and we hang up. I grab my laptop and book him a flight out here as Elijah walks in. He comes over to kiss me then sets down by me.

"What are you up to?"

"Booking a flight for Charlie to come see me this next week."

"Well that is nice, it will be good for you to see him. Maybe he can help you some."

"I hope so." I finish booking the flight and send the info to Charlie. I then put my laptop down then curl into Elijah's side. He wraps his arm tightly around me.

"How are you, my love?"

"I don't know really, I'm just sick of the drama and everything else. I'm just done with it all really."

"I know love and I really am sorry that you got pulled into the middle of all of this. It's not how I wanted it to be when you came back here."

"I know but it is what it is." We are quiet for a few moments. Then he spoke up again.

"I have something for you."

"You do?"

"Yes, and I don't want anything in return alight?"

"Ok, what is it?" He hands me a little box. I open it to see a beautiful gold heart-shaped locket. I took it out and looked inside where there was a picture of us and it was inscribed 'Always and Forever'.

"Elijah it is so beautiful. What is it for?"

"Well today is the anniversary of the first day we met, and you have had the key to my heart from that first meeting."

"Elijah is amazing. Thank you, I did not think you would remember with everything going on."

"Of course, I will always remember the day my life changed for the better." He smiled and we kissed.

"Will you help me put it on?"

"Of course," he tells me. I turn and he helps to put it on. I turn back around and look at him.

"Thank you, Elijah, for everything. Just for being here for me. I love you so much."

"I love you as well." I kiss him and before I know it we head up to our room to continue what we had started downstairs. Maybe things are getting better.

E&B

A few hours later I was in the kitchen cleaning when there was a knock on the door. I put my rag down and headed to get the door. Once I opened the door I saw Caroline standing there, and she was mad but I could also see the hurt in her eyes.

"Care some in, what happened?" I asked her, she walked in and I shut the door.

"I can't believe them I thought they were my friends but now just because I chose to be happy they are all mad at me and to make it worse now poor Matt is being put in the middle of it all because of whatever you want to call what he has going on with Rebekah."

"What do you mean?" I asked as I brought her to the sitting room.

"I mean they all cornered me at my house, my house and told me that it was not a good idea to be with Klaus because he is a bad guy and has killed a lot of people. Then I pointed out that we had all killed people as well and I'm pretty sure Damon and Stefan are up there in numbers they got mad saying it was different. Then I asked how it was different when Damon used me as a blood bag plaything. But no I'm the bad guy now because I sleep with the enemy. When Elena use to say how bad Damon was all of them did. They just don't like that I'm finally happy and they can't use me against Klaus anymore because I really do love him. Did you know that? That I love him because I didn't until today when they said he was just using me like so many others have in the past. I don't know what to do Bells. I just so angry and now I'm rambling. I hate what they do to me."

"Care breathe, I get it. I know how my brothers are and I know how Petrova's and Bennett's can be. So I understand. Don't listen to them; they are not happy so they are trying to make everyone else suffer with them. Once they figure out what they want to do then they will leave you alone. To answer your question yes I did know you love Klaus. I did from the moment I saw you two together. I think everyone did that is why they would use you against him. I promise they are just doing this because of me and our fight. I will fix things don't worry. Although in other news my fake dad is coming here next week and my exboyfriend and his family moved back to Forks."

"Really, what are you going to do? I can't wait to meet your fake dad though."

"I don't know I hope they just move on and let me as well. I'm back with Elijah and I'm happy here. Plus I can't-do anymore crazy right now. That and it was really hard keeping the whole I'm a vampire of the true kind secret. It was exhausting trying to keep it from everyone all the time, especially when the not so great cold ones came to town. So I really don't have many reasons to go back there now. So I think I will stay here and dill with the crazy here." I told her with a sigh.

"I don't blame you. I hate keeping the vampire secret because it's so hard. Though it's nice to have people to talk to about it and that are vampires too. There you were all alone. I can't image what that was like."

"Not too much fun, but it was nice to get away from things for a while. Although I am starting to believe that I am a magnet for crazy and supernatural beings. I am ready to get away for a little. Maybe us girls can go away for the weekend. Put some distance between us and all of this. How does that sound?"

"Sounds nice to me, I'm ready for some fun."

"So I will talk to Rebekah and see if she will come to then we can leave in the morning. How does that sound?"

"Sounds good to me."

"Maybe we can stay at a nice hotel with a nice massage, and some shopping maybe. Just a real girl's weekend."

"That sounds amazing. I'm so up for getting away even if only for a little while."

"Well, then I will get it all planned and ready. You make sure you are ready for some fun, alright."

"Alright, I will be ready tomorrow morning for it then. Although I do have to go through I'm meeting my mom for dinner. So I will call you later tonight."

"Alright you have fun and I will make the arrangement for it then. See you in the morning."

"See you." I walk her out then make arrangements for our girl's weekend calling Rebekah to see if she wants in as well. I make sure we will be back two hours before I will have to get Charlie from the airport. Once I'm done with everything I go back to cleaning, and then head up to pack.

It had been a very long week but things were starting to finally look up for me, and it would all start with this girl's trip, and I could not wait for it. It would be nice to get away and have a little fun. Then when I would get back I would be able to see Charlie. Yes, things were finally starting to look up for me.

Well, there you have it. I hope you all liked it and are ready to see a girls trip and Charlie coming. Please review and let me know if you want more. I will try to post next week. Last chapters reviewers are as always .7334, and galwidanatitud. Thank you, both of you.
