Chapter 6: Resurface

Isabella's POV

Jasper didn't take anything with him when he left, I couldn't decide why though. It could have been because he was in such a hurry to escape my sadness or because he couldn't get near his room, considering that I was situated there.

I hadn't really known he left; it was only after a few hours of my extreme sadness that I realized he was gone, sensing his missing memories.

It was strange, though I had never met Jasper properly; I felt we had this strong connection. I know that you're thinking 'well of course you do, you've experienced his whole life through his eyes'. I know what you mean; I do feel a connection with the other Cullen's, but not as deep and as soulful as Jasper's.

You probably don't know what I'm talking about, it's not something everyone will experience, I can tell you that. I'll try and explain it better.

It's like our minds are linked, like our souls are connected. It's like a gravitational pull, sucking us closer together, joining us in a bond that cannot be broken.

You think it's a bit too early to be saying that don't you? The only thing is, you aren't me, and you have no idea of my feelings. Yes I could and do try to explain them as well as possible, but there is only so much one person can do.

You can't put everything into words; let's face it that would be impossible.

It was time to resurface, to face my new future with these people. I had promised myself one day to mourn and I was going to keep that.

I stretched and opened the blackout curtains, unsure if it was day or night. Light streamed through the window that consumed the wall, and what appeared to be the rest of the south wall.

"Darn, sunny." I muttered to myself and I walked into Jaspers wardrobe, looking for something to wear. It took me a long time to find something to wear since his clothes were understandably huge for me. I settle for a Velvet Revolver t-shirt that could serve as a dress since it came to half-way down my thigh. I also found some outcast tights that Rosalie had brought and had tossed in Jaspers closet because she had no room in her's.

I turned to look at myself in the mirror and my eyes widened. I looked amazing, my skin was so much whiter than usual and my eyes were a shocking ruby red. I knew what to expect the beauty, skin and eye colour, but seeing these things on me, it was unbelievable.

I took a deep breath and exited Jaspers room, heading downstairs and towards the TV where I knew they would be sitting. I walked down the stairs without tripping for once and took my place on one of the cream colored sofas surrounding the gigantic TV screen.

"Hi," I said timidly, tucking my legs underneath me and fixing my eyes on the TV, "What are we watching?"

The question was answered with a silence so eerie I had to look around.

Alice was sitting on Edward's lap on the other end of the sofa, Edward looking open mouthed at me and Alice grinning so wide I thought her face would split. Emmett and Rosalie had just raced in, Emmett topless and Rosalie with her top inside out, both covered in grease and car oil; I didn't want to think about what they had been doing but they were both out of breath and surprised. Esme still had a tray of cookies in her hands and Carlisle had lowered his book he was glued to , the title was The Medical Encyclopedia, the new 2008 edition.

Alice was the first to speak, obviously, "Oh, it's just the re-run of Scrubs, I missed it last night."

"Cool," I replied, pausing for thought. "I've never seen it. Well, actually, I tell a lie I've seen your favorite clips in your memories."

Alice, momentarily puzzled, took a brief moment to think before scolding the others like she sometimes did. "What are you all staring at? Am I missing something amazing? Go shoo; Isabella doesn't want you staring at her all day! Move!" Alice's voice commanded so much power that everyone went back to their own business; though not without rolling their eyes at her first. She looked over at me and winked.

"Alice" I said after a while of watching the doctors of Sacred Heart sort out their various dilemmas, "I prefer Bella." I looked over at her and smiled; a smile which she returned strait away.

"Hey Bells!" I hear Emmett shout from the back garden. I immediately ran to his side. "How good at you at Football?" He asked a cheeky look in his eyes.

I grinned in response, it had only been around ten minutes and I was already getting new nicknames.

So I know that chapter wasn't the best but you will have to deal with it, sorry people.

Today has been tragic, my friend made me admit that FanFiction was lame. BUT I DONT CARE! I LOVE FANFICTION!!

Its the sad truth and no one can make me stop! Its addictive!

Oh by the way that last chapter was in the middle of chapters 3 and 4.

So review and my creative juices shall prosper and grow!!

Love you all!

Holly :)
