Chapter 10
I drove and I wasn't sure where I was going, after 5 minutes I knew where my mind had unconsciously told me to go, because a minute later I was pulling up to the big white mansion on the outskirts of town.
I wasn't sure why I was here, but I felt like I needed to see if they were still here. I parked my car and I slowly made my way out of the car and up the steps, I rang the doorbell once and I knocked three times.
I heard footsteps on the other side and I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding. He opened the door and I immediately pulled him in for a hug. "Bella!" he exclaimed hugging me back with a lot of muscle.
"Carlisle what...Angela....Alice?" it came out as a question even though I only said a few miss matched words.
"Come inside sweet heart." Carlisle led me inside, he had become like a second father to me over the last years that he had lived here, and Esme had become like a mother.
"Esme!" Carlisle called as he set me on his lap on the couch.
She rushed into the room and saw me and piled on top of me also. "Oh Bella, I've been worried sick!" Esme cried.
"Esme...I'm so sorry, this is all my fault!" I wept into her shoulder.
"Bella dear, what are you talking about?" she asked.
"Angela, Alice! Their all gone!" I cried.
"Shhh, Angela is in a better place now, and Alice isn't home right now, she had to go to her brothers house, something came up with her, I could phone her if you'd like." Esme told me. And in that moment, I knew that I didn't loose like the devil told me, I may be a looser but I never lost. I looked in Esme's eyes and I saw love their, I defiantly didn't lose. She hurried and got the telephone and dialed some number and waited for it to answer.
As we were waiting I felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulder, not gone completely but some of it was finally going away. I wiped the tears away from my eyes and I paid attention to Esme's phone call.
"Hey baby, I need to speak with Alice, its really important." Esme said.
"Its about her friend." she responded.
"Baby I know but we, we found her." She said looking at me.
"Yes alive, she's with us now." Esme had a tear in her eye.
"Ok, good." Esme handed me the phone and I put it to my ear.
I heard Alice scream a hello into my ear and I immediately started crying. "Alice I'm so sorry! I'm so glad you are ok, you have no idea!"
"Oh Bells! He came and found me, he was at my house!" she was crying to.
I sucked in a breath, I wasn't expecting that "W-what did you do?"
"He asked if I was Alice Cullen, I told him that I wasn't I told him I was Angela Montenegro Alice's house keeper." Alice chuckled at the Angela Montenegro reference. "I told him that Alice went to visit her boyfriend for the week that's why I was their. I got so scared, I didn't know what to do! So I went to my brothers house, he's...he's he has security." She sniffed into the phone.
"Its ok Alice, he's gone now." I cried into the phone.
"What do you mean gone?" She asked.
"Someone took care of him, he was after me, but I'm ok, and your ok. I'm so sorry! I should have never befriended you, none of this would have happened!" I sobbed at the end.
"Bella I'm coming home now, stay with my parents, they'll protect you, I'll be home in a few hours. I...I love you Bells, I don't know what I would have done without you." Alice choked out.
"I love you too Alice, and me neither, me neither." I hung up the phone and I crawled back into Carlisle's arms, I fell asleep, he rocked me like I was a baby, and I needed that.
He woke me up five hours later I needed that nap, I hadn't had a full nights sleep in at least a week. I was laying with my head in Esmes' lap she was stroking my hair. When she saw my eyes open she traced under my eyes their were dark circles under them no doubt.
"How are you feeling?" She was always so nice.
"I'm better, thank you." She smiled a really big smile and kissed my head.
"Good, I'm going to go make some food, you go up to the guest bedroom and Esme laied some old cloths out for you to change into." Carlisle said getting up.
"No way guys, I'm making dinner for you tonight! Its the least I can do! I'm here imposing on you all, trust me! And thank you Esme." I said getting up from the couch.
"Bella, one of Alice's brothers is coming over too, I can't ask you to make a meal." Esme said putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Pft! I've been away from the kitchen for far to long! I need to cook again, please let me do this for you all, I've put a lot of stress on you. Its about time for me to relieve some of it." I stood up and Esme nodded. She led me upstairs and into a small guest room. It was actually cozy feeling, Their was an old exercising outfit on the bed and I quickly changed into that, I went into the bathroom upstairs and I washed my face off, as well as my arms and anyplace I found dirt and I put my hair up into a messy bun.
After declaring myself descent I made my way to the kitchen and I started making their favorite dish of mine. Lasagna. It took me a good hour to make, and I had high hopes for it, I went into the fridge again and started making a tomato salad, you used cherry tomatoes cut up in 4's, Italian dressing feta cheese and croutons and mixed them all up in a bowl and let it chill in the fridge.
I checked the stove and their was enough time for me to make desert, I used banana pudding, whip cream, bananas, chocolate sauce, vanilla wafers, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream layered in wine glasses and stuck them in the fridge for desert.
When I was done making that the Lasagna was done in the oven, I pulled it out and set it on top of the stove. Not thinking I started plating the food and I set them on the counter. "Fuck" I said to myself.
"Bella...language." Carlisle said laughing coming into the room.
"Sorry Carlisle, I wasn't thinking and I dished out food!" I said getting red, I was just in the zone, I guess that's what happens when you aren't in your restaurant for a long time.
"It's ok Bells, I just came here to tell you that Alice called and they are coming up the driveway now." Carlisle smiled and I ran to the door, I was waiting impatiently for this moment. I paced, I heard a car door open then the unmistakable squeal from Alice, so I shoved open the door and I ran out and we embraced each other in a giant hug.
I heard a car door slam and I opened my eyes and instantly I got ridged, I pulled away from Alice and I started backing away from her. She opened her eyes and started calling my name. "Bella! Bella! Are you ok?" She shook me.
"Yeah Alice I'm...I'm fine." I said and grabbed her hand and dragged her into the house trying to get a moment to explain to Alice why I reacted like that. But Esme came to the door as we were coming in and hugged both of us. She smiled and called out to the boys to come in for dinner.
We went to the dining room table and I made Alice sit next to me. She asked me why I was so ancy and I brushed it off telling her I'd tell her later, but couldn't help the small blush that came to my cheeks.
Everyone sat down and Alice finally thought to make introductions. "Bella this is one of my brothers Emmett, Emmett this is my very best friend Bella." She smiled at the both of us, we looked at each others faces and then started to chuckle.
"What?" said Alice looking between the two of us.
"Oh nothing." I said as Emmett said "We met before"
Alice looked at Emmett and smiled. "Oh really? When? Was it at her restaurant?" She asked and I wanted so bad to hit her, but I settled for bumping her leg under the table. "Bella owns a restaurant?" Emmett asked Alice.
"Yeah..." Alice looked at me slyly. "that she does, but its not just a restaurant, its also part bakery and part bar. Its quite amazing and it brings in a lot of business in Port Angeles. I think Bella should open up a new one somewhere else! A big city!" Alice rambled on and on.
"Oh really! This is quite useful Ally!" He laughed and I just continued eating.
"So B. How's it been?" Emmett chuckled.
"Its been great. How have you been?" I growled.
Emmett put a finger on his chin pretending to think really hard. "Its been pretty hectic now that you mention it, Edward almost had Jasper's head!" He had a booming laugh and it shook the table.
"What are you guys talking about?" Alice said and took a sip of wine.
"Well you see, B here..." he shut up after I kicked him under the table.
"Alice I met them only a few days ago, and I might have accidentally dropped something on the carpet, you know how I am." I smiled at Alice and she smiled back.
She turned to Emmett and asked him "now tell me the real story." I grumbled to myself and sulked in my chair. Freaking Alice the lie detector! Their was no way Emmett was going to lie, she'd just make a bigger deal out of this, and it was already a big deal.
"Well you see, baby sister of mine who I love sooooo much." Emmett started, Alice just raised one of her eyebrows at him. "A few days ago, Edward might have gotten a call from one of our people, and we may have had to take B here to Edwards house. And she may have tried to escape and we may have chased her threw the forest for three days and we might have finally caught up to her after she jumped off of a cliff and on the way back she might have climbed out of a gas station window hijacked a car and drove here." Emmett finished.
The room was silent I was looking at my lap, Alice's eye was twitching, Carlisle's eyes were wide, Esme's mouth was hanging open, and Emmett had a goofy grin on his face.
"I think I just planned a murder." Alice whispered, I laughed and patted her back. "Don't worry Alice, I can escape every time they lock me up."
Emmett just laughed to himself while I got up and got the desserts. I was in the freezer planning how I was going to carry everything when I felt Emmett behind me. "You know I'm going to need to take you back right?" he said in a sad tone.
"Yeah I know, I just wanted Alice to have a little hope. Here make yourself useful, take these back out with you." I handed him all the deserts.
"Bella, look I'm really sorry, Alice wouldn't stop talking about you on the way down here, I know you a lot better than I did yesterday, I'm really sorry, this probably couldn't be happening at a worse time. I...I just want to let you know, that if this gets too out of hand for you just tell me, I'll talk to Edward or whoever and we'll work something out, but we can't just let you go, we don't work like that as you can tell." Emmett made his little speech then hugged me. I hugged him back with all of my strength, that was one of the nicest things I had heard in a long time.
"Thank you Em, that means a lot." I let go and grabbed the spoons and extra napkins.
We walked back to the dining room smiling like new best friends. Emmett gushing about how this was the nicest meal he has had in a long time and how the desert had promise written all over it. I was think all threw dessert that going back now isn't going to be as hard, and hey, maybe I could get Mr. Cullen not to completely murder me for running away...twice...and get him to loosen up a little. If you let things like killing, power, and those types of things run your life for to long, your life gets fucked up. I know all about that.
Mr. Cullen was related to Alice and Emmett so I'd at least try to help him.
Ok everyone I hoped this was a good chapter and everyone loved it!!! I couldn't make Alice dead in my story!!! We need an annoying persistent little sister and friend here!!! She'll be in the story again, if anyone is thinking I'm going to drop her now.
