Chapter 10
The ride home was quite. Alice was probably letting me think about my way of apologizing to everyone. Or in my state of mind, how I was going to escape. The familiar drive was suddenly there.
Laughing in my face on how short I would have to plan left. The green trees that flashed by were like stop lights. Green means go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
They kept telling me. Mocking me endlessly.
Why couldn't God make trees red or at least yellow? Like that would slow Alice down though. She seemed thrilled to get home.
Insane pixie. I'm wondering if Emmett's slipping her what he's having. Or maybe she's Speed Racer's long lost sister.
The Cullen's house came into view far too early. It was like a beacon, the finish line to my unwanted race.
A bouncing Emmett stood on the porch, peering over the tree tops. Of course, he'd be the only one out there.
Oh wait, Jasper's behind Emmett. Most likely waiting for Alice though. I'm still unwanted. I just know it. Carlisle and Esme stepped out too now. It was like a welcome back party.
The only ones missing were the touchy Rosalie and the one I hurt the most. Edward. I could hear my song playing from our room.
I mean, his room. And the soft sobbing.
He must not believe that I'm back. I don't believe I'm back. It's absurd. I came back to the one place I don't belong. What an idiot I am. Alice's car halted and I froze. "Welcome home." She whispered and stepped out. Emmett came running off the steps.
"Princess Isa-belly!" He screamed. I was so scared of what to come I couldn't even roll my eyes at the pitiful nickname.
Emmett lifted me out, hugging me fiercely. "Belly never leave Emmy again." He murmured childishly. I started laughing. A comic relief.
"Alright Emmett, put me down." He sighed grumpily but put me down. Esme hugged me fiercely. "Honey, your always welcome here. Never doubt it." She whispered.
Guilt struck threw me like a wrecking ball to a building. Jasper gave me a sad look but mouthed a "Good". Alice smirked, guessing what he was feeling.
Carlisle gave me a hug after Esme did. "Remember, I know your secrets." He said sneakily. I pulled away shocked. "Not like I would tell though. Just thought you should know." He smiled jokingly.
I glared at him and brought his medical bag. "You spill anything and this bag is going in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean."
Carlisle glared at me and Emmett burst out laughing. "She threatened Carlisle!" I rolled my eyes and as I did I caught Edward's curtain brush slightly to the side. It reminded me of my painful duty and my shoulders shrugged.
"Go to him." Carlisle's tone was gentle and loving. I smiled, only for it to form a grimace. The Cullens parted like the red sea, only well a white sea. Alice blew me a kiss and whispered a good luck.
I took a unneeded deep breath. The front door was already open, saving me time. Again, those stupid little things that made my time fly by.
Rosalie was standing by the stairs. Her eyes a deadly dark gold and her position tense. Rosalie's nostrils flared. "Hello Rosalie." I said quietly.
She snorted and tensed for a fight. My body automatically tensed too. My muscles rippled and I crouched slightly. "Is Edward upstairs?" I asked the question, even if I knew the answer.
"Do you really have to ask? He hasn't left since you did. It's your fault his suicidal again!" She hissed. I winced at the suicidal part, not releasing it had gotten that far.
"She was gone for two days Rosalie. Let her go." Alice commanded, full authority ringing in her voice.
"Two days too long. I hate seeing him like that! I don't want to see him like that again! You know her power too Alice. Don't fake it! How can you trust that….that…thing!"
My mouth popped open at her statement. "Rosalie Lillian Hale McCarty Cullen!" Esme said in shock. Wow, long name. "What? Its true! Who knows who she'll decide to play with! Maybe she'll go after one of those dogs next!"
What?! A werewolf! My taste is way better than that. "Like she could really date a dog. They smell horrible!" Emmett scoffed. Emmett walked straight up to his wife and picked her up.
"Emmett! Put me down!" She growled. I took my chance to run and took off up the stairs. I froze at the door, scared silly. For one of the first times in my vampire life.
I slowly knocked on the door. "Go. Away. Alice." He mumbled. I chuckled slightly at the thought of me being Alice. I heard his breath completely stop. I ignored his rudeness and let myself in.
He was laying on the bed, his face burrowed in the pillow. "Alice?" He asked uncertainly. I sighed. "Hello Edward." I said quietly. His head shot up and he flipped around.
"Bella?" He asked, like I was a mirage. "Hi. I know you probably don't want to see me right now but I just want to say--." I couldn't finish.
Because he put his arms around me and was hugging me tightly. "Don't. You. Ever. Leave. Me. Again." He said sharply. The shock wore off but I didn't move.
"You're not mad? You don't want to never see my face again? You really want me?" I asked quietly. He pulled back, black fire raging in his eyes.
"What? Of course I want you! I don't care what you've done in the past. I just care about you're future and me being in it. So what, you've been married a lot. Well so has Rosalie and Emmett. Sure it's the same person…. I don't care Bella. I just want you." He said sounding so sure of his self.
"I told you!" Alice shouted from downstairs. I chuckled softly. "So….I'm yours? Forever?" I asked slowly. Not as sure of myself as he was.
"If that's what you want. Always."
He said, love and adoration so strong, more than anytime than before. With any of my many marriages, never have I seen that.
So strong.
So pure.
So…right.
True. Nothing that strong could be false. True love. My own words over powered me. Truth and realization rushed threw my veins that hadn't been used in one thousand years. My epiphany was stronger than I anticipated.
My lips crashed onto his, catching him by surprise. He was quick to respond making it deeper. The no need for help was needed most at this moment.
Because I found a new favorite flavor. Better than bison, mountain lion, grizzly bear, anything at all.
The sweet taste of true love reunited.
A/N: Aw! How sweet! I know, I'm terrible. I left you guys hanging for way too long. Drama at school and well just school in general absorb most of my time. But, I finally got to work and made a pretty good chapter. I like this one the best I think. Tell me what you all think!
