CHAPTER 10 : Little Sis?

"I'll help you with Emmett and then I'm gone." I looked towards Alice then, not sure I would be able to hold the façade if I stared at him any longer. But Alice's face looked how I remembered mine in the beginning. Broken. I didn't get it. He didn't want me, not then, not now and yet here he was upset that I was leaving him. Was it just a power play. I could still feel his frozen body against mine, his breath had even stopped.

"Can we at least be friends?" Alice spoke in a small voice. "I've missed you so much Bella, I don't think I can just let go of you now…" Her eyes were pleading with me and I was certain if she thought it would work she would be on her hands and knee's begging.

"Of course." I assured her. "Friends… but from a distance." I pulled my body away from his, aware that it could possibly be the last time we ever touched. That feeling tore at my heart and I felt the butterflies fluttering away. I hated the rollercoaster that was my emotions around him. He had managed once again to get in so deep within me that I couldn't live without him only to push himself out of my reach. Damn him.

As I walked towards Emmett's I recognized Alice's footsteps behind me but heard nothing from Edward. Against my better judgment I turned to look at him. His now black eyes staring straight at me, that look was there. The broken crazed man. I suddenly found myself wondering if I had been right in the beginning when I had thought he suffered from multiple personality disorder. Did he? One minute he didn't want me and the next he looked like I had broken his dead heart. I could see in his eyes that he was trying to tell me something but something that he couldn't say. He kept going to open his mouth but then only to shut it just as fast.

This was going to be the last time. I shouted at myself. I pushed my shield out to his thoughts as I stared at him.

'… so sorry. Please you have to forgive me. I cant lose you… please. Bella… I love you. You are different but I just need time to get use to this you. Please Bella, your all I want all I need. I don't want to be alone anymore. I cant be alone, not when I know your out there… please… please don't leave me….' I found it incredibly strange how in his thoughts, it sounded like he was hysterical and here on the outside he looked so calm.

I dropped my eyes as I pulled the shield back. "It's done" I whispered even though I knew he could still hear me. I headed back towards Emmett's door and pushed it slightly braking the lock.

I followed his scent till I reached the door on the third floor, I knew Alice was walking behind me but Edward still wasn't with us. Maybe he took off… just like him. I thought. Then I replayed his plea to me and realized that I hoped he was still behind me. Alice stepped around me and pushed the door open, apparently it wasn't locked. But she didn't walk through. Instead she looked at me and narrowed her eyes.

"Edwards right. You have changed."

As I glared back at her, I felt myself seething and I wanted nothing more than to throw this stupid little pixie towards the nearest fire. I had never wanted any harm to come to Alice before and so the simple thought had pulled me from my anger. This was Alice. How could I think that?!

"Alice is that you?" a quiet voice came from inside the apartment.

"Yes" she chimed. I stood staring at her. Yes, I had changed but it was their fault and it was Edward who didn't want me around… I tried to make excuses… I knew I was different but that was me. I was a miserable person most of the time who liked to be alone. What was so bad about that?

We didn't move, we just stared, well I stared while she glared at me. I noticed Edward then as he took the final step slowly and turned towards us. He walked next to us and looked between us. Emmett appeared then.

"Hey" he spoke sadly. "Who's this?" I felt his eyes on me but I couldn't move mine from Alice.

"I don't know" She spoke through clenched teeth and I found myself seething again. Without thinking I slammed my palms into her chest and threw her up the corridor in one motion.

Everything seemed to slow right down. I felt my body crouch as if I was getting ready to spring at her, I saw as Emmett stood in my way and grabbed my shoulders, letting out a loud growl. Edwards arms wrapped around mine from behind as he pulled me tightly to him. My eyes never left Alice's body, even as I glared around Emmett.

"MOVE EMMETT" I let the venom seep right in to every letter and I knew he heard it.

"How do you… wait" he dropped his head then and brought his hands up to cradle mine as I fought against Edwards restricting arms. In honesty I wasn't really fighting against his arms, if I wanted to I could have got free but there was a part of me that didn't want to hurt him or her… no matter how angry I was right now. Emmett pulled my face to his then as he searched it for a minute. His breath stopped as he looked completely shocked. "Little Sis" a huge smile spread across his face then, just the way I remembered him "But how?"

"How do you think?" I snapped at him. He recoiled from me and turned his face to Edwards, obviously asking him something. Alice sprung up and was behind him now.

"I wouldn't do that Emmett, seems Isabella can read minds now" she said my full name with such disgust that I felt the emptiness double.

"Let go of me" I said calmly but Edward made no attempt to move. "I don't want to hurt you Edward but I swear I will" I warned. He froze again before pulling his arms off of me and stepping back.

"Bella what happened to you?" Emmett said looking down at me as I imagined he was comparing me to the old Bella. The one I hadn't realized I was nothing like anymore apparently.

"Its been a long time, people change." I stated matter-of-factly.

"We don't" Emmett said as he looked back up to Edward. I watched Edwards reflection off the glass container holding the fire extinguisher, waiting for him to answer Emmett's question. He didn't even try to conceal it now. He simply took a sharp breath, let it out and shook a no.

I was suddenly angry again. How dare they. They left me. They broke me and they were mad at me for being different. I stepped away from them as they seemed to turn after me, creating nearly a perfect line. I never turned to look at them, afraid that I might break down if I did. Just because we couldn't physically let tears out doesn't mean that we couldn't show the other signs of it. "I guess being alone, hunted and scared for eight months changes a person" I shrugged and walked down the stairs, taking them faster than a human could.

I walked over to the bench they had been sitting on but couldn't find the need to sit, instead I walked closer to the water, standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down. It had been twenty years since I felt the need or the urge to jump into the water but right now I found myself wishing that it could have the same affect it once had one me.

What the fuck had just happened? I had hit Alice, lashed out at Emmett and told Edward I didn't want him anymore. What was wrong with me? Maybe I should just forget it all… just let it all end… just say goodbye and move on to whatever followed this one. I remembered Edwards speech when I was human… the Volturi. I let the idea run free in m mind before seriously thinking about it. Did I really need them, maybe I could just start…

My thoughts were interrupted as I was encircled by two steel arms. I didn't move as I felt them get tighter on me. I knew it was Edward but I didn't have the strength to fight him anymore. I felt his breath against my neck as he buried his face in my hair.

I watched as everything started to shake and it took me a moment to realize I was the one shaking. The dry sobs took over then and wracked my body as Edward grip on my only tightened.

"Come home Bella" he whispered but I didn't respond. "Give me a chance." I heard his loud gulp, he wasn't positive I would accept and I could almost feel the fear radiate from him.

"I don't… know… if I … can… be… your Bella again." I breathed out between sobs.

"Well then, I'll just have to get to know the new you… but Bella, no matter how you act, you will always be My Bella… that will never change." His voice was full of such conviction that I couldn't doubt him. I turned in his arms to look at him, our eyes met and I searched for something to tell me otherwise.

He rested his forehead against mine and I couldn't help but find myself being relaxed by his touch. I didn't want to be without him.

"Come home where you belong" he said again as he kissed the top of my nose. I couldn't help but laugh at his small gesture. It was something he always did when I was human. I nodded a yes as he pulled me in tighter and let out a contented sigh.

As we started to walk back to the road, I noticed Alice was staring at me but not glaring. "Are you still angry with me?" she asked shyly.

"No but I am sorry" I added a small smile.

"Don't be, I pushed you. I don't want you to go…" she frowned.

"Good thing I'm not then" I smiled at her as her eyes snapped up to mine and then to Edward.

"She's coming home? Your coming home?" she was looking back and forth between us and I couldn't help the loud laugh that escaped my lips at her expression. Her tiny arms flung around me and I was certain that she nearly tore me in half it was so tight.

A deep voice came from Emmett's direction but he wasn't happy at all. "You still my Little Sis?" he almost sounded ashamed by asking that.

I looked up at Edward who kissed my forehead and smiled down at me before turning back to him. "Always"

With that Emmett ran at us and I found myself being squashed between all of them. They never would have done that when I was human or I would have been worse than if Tyler's van had actually hit me. I felt a long forgotten feeling wash over me. It clawed its way out of the deep hole in my heart.

Family. I belonged. Loved.

"Who's next?" I suddenly asked trying to get them off me.

"How about everyone?" Edward said as he pulled me even tighter.

"Huh?" I asked in sync with Alice and Emmett.

Edward laughed at us before continuing. "Its time to go home. Lets get the others to come to us." They all loosened there holds on me and started walking silently towards the way I had come through town.

"Bella, I'm guessing your not opposed to grand theft auto anymore?" Alice chimed in her usual bell like voice. I laughed as I walked faster to catch up with her. Was she serious? I really wasn't concerned anymore but I was still curious. I didn't get more than a step out of Edwards reach before his arms pulled me back against his chest.

"What?" I asked looking up to him.

"Watching you walk away from me… I … erm…I couldn't…" he struggled but I understood exactly what he meant.

"I know." I smiled and pushed myself back further into his chest as his arms got tighter around me.

I heard him take a deep breath and sigh, just as he always had. I smiled at that and turned my face to look at him. I hadn't smiled like this in a long time, I noticed how it felt unfamiliar as if it was someone else's face. His expression froze as he looked down to me, I guess he noticed something too. His eyes searched mine as I raised my eyebrow at him.

"There you are" he smiled his beautiful crooked smile as he bent his face and crushed his lips to mine.

It felt like home…
