Chapter 8

I would just like to remind you I do not own Twilight or the characters they belong to the talented Stephanie Meyers the only thing I own is the plot line and the changes I am making in the characters.

I couldn't believe how much my life had changed so much since the Cullen's had left everything I thought I'd ever felt for them was not even a small fraction on what i now feel for everyone in my life now, my relationship with Charlie is so different we are finally developing the relationship we should have always had i know if I they hadn't left and I hadn't changed so much since then my relationship with Charlie would have been at an all time low worse than what little relationship we had; i love my father and i respect him so much for everything he had ever done for me, for the La Push people and the people of Forks.

I've often wondered to myself if I would have been a daddies girl had my parents not divorced and separated places completely and what type of family we would have been would I have been more social or if I'd still be how I was, i guess i defiantly still have issues when it comes to my family life but the with new family I have gained and parts of my old one (Billy Black and Jacob Black) all being one I'm finally beginning to come to terms with it and start to move on from it all everything is different from how it was in Phoenix; Washington changed my life and i have to say I'm looking forward to my future for the first time in my life and am actually appreciating and living my life to the fullest.

Paul oh what can I say about him other than without him I would crumble and life would have no meaning to it and no reason to be living he's my world, he's my light in the darkness Paul makes everything so much more special to me without even trying the little things he does such as when we can be in a conversation with the pack discussing everything as the boys didn't want the imprints left out of the decisions he would squeeze my hand reassuringly or run his fingers over the back of my neck or rub soothing circles in my back or maybe even just smile at me or pick me up and put me in his lap wrapping himself around me it's an incredible especially after my relationship with Edward who would barely touch me stating it was dangerous, so my life with Paul is exceptionally different but way way better I couldn't ask for a more loving, gentle, caring, honest person to love in my life he completes me and I complete him.

My phone rang snapping me out of my thoughts I answered not looking at the caller id and was shocked to hear my mother Renée's voice she began asking me how i was and how everything was going with Charlie and I responded that everything's going great and i feel the most a live I've felt in months and that I'm great I asked her how she and Phil was in return and received her answer of the were both fine, Renee then decided to shock me more than she shocked me by calling me by announcing that she's flying out for a visit stating she misses me and wishes to catch up; her real reason I'm coming to check on you and we both knew it but neither of us said anything after she told me when she would be here the phone call soon ended and i was hurrying to my truck to drive down to La Push to see everyone and to tell my dad that Renée was coming to town.

The minute I pulled up in La Push at Sam and Emily's everyone surrounded my truck and I mean everyone the pack, the elders, my dad and the imprints i climbed out of my truck and pulled straight into the loving arms of my Paul I sighed happily and gave him a passionate kiss and then quickly pulled back and turned to face the others with Paul's arms secured around my waist and my back to his front, I quickly told everyone about the phone call I had received from Renée and to say none of them was happy was a understament they were all still mad at what she'd done to both me and Charlie by her leaving him and taking me with her; everyone because talking at the same time trying to work out why she was coming and why now i explained to them when i could finally get a word in that I'm pretty sure its to check up on me and probably to check up on Charlie and see if he was doing a good enough job in her eyes or she would probably try to take me with her back to Arizona, my guess caused uproar from everyone there saying she'd take me when hell froze over and when they were all dead first.

Everything they was saying was making my heart swell with so much love and devotion to these people My Family I couldn't leave them now even if I wanted to which I don't Renée was going to have a fight on her hands with this lot when she came and from me if she thought she's going to play separate Bella and Charlie again if they are close I don't know what I'd do, she ruined both mine and Charlie's lives by taking me and running off to Phoenix and not caring about anyone but herself its been the same ways always with me running round picking up the pieces of her air brained life from an early age right up until Phil came along and I finally left her to come home to Washington to be with Charlie although I hadn't known that at the time but i knew that in my heart now.
