Chapter 10.
( I apologize for any errors in the previous chapter. I was rushing =[ )
I didn't care if Rosalie was an evil witch to me before. She had her reasons and I loved her like a sister.
She pulled away and smiled a sincere smile at me. I looked at the Cullens and they all held the same expression on their faces. They all were either shocked, confused, or down right beaming with joy in Alice's case.
She hurled her little petite frame at me and hugged me for what seemed like forever. I swear if she could cry, the whole castle would be drowning in her tears.
"Bella !? Oh My god ! Bella. I love you so much. I'm so sorry. I was stupid to believe him ! Please Bella. Would you ever forgive me ?" She asked while clinging to me as if I was going to disappear .
"Alice. It's fine. I love you too Ali. I forgive you" I smiled and kissed her cheek. She gave me a small smile and I ran up to Esme and Carlisle. I hugged them both so tightly that they both flinched a little. I bit my lip and looked down in embarrassment. I have got to learn how to control that. I wonder if I can make Aro say Ow. Now that would be hilarious. Aro Volturi says Ow. Hehe. God I was such a kid…
They smiled at me and shook their heads. Esme kissed my cheek and I could see the pain in her eyes. Carlisle grinned at me and kissed my forehead. I felt whole again. With both my families at my side.
Just as I was about to go to Jasper, I felt myself being lifted. I looked up and saw Emmett spinning me around. I giggled as did everyone else.
"Bella Boo !!! I missed you so much. God damn I love you so much. Can't believe you're a vampire now. Did I mention you look hot as hell ?" He boomed out loud. I heard Alec growl softly and shot him a look. Rose smacked the back of his head and we all laughed.
"Emmy Bear ! I know Emmy I missed you too much." I cried into his large chest. He set me down after a while and I stood in front of Jasper awkwardly.
He surprised me by pulling me into a hug. I always loved Jasper as a brother and nothing changed that. Not even the fact that he almost killed me on my birthday.
"God Bella I'm so sorry. It was all my fault. I was stupid. God I missed you so much. You have no idea what I had to go through" he motioned with his eyes to Alice, and I smiled at him.
"I know Jazz. I missed you too. And no it wasn't your fault. I beamed at him.
Everyone (mostly the Cullens) looked at me confused. "You see Jasper can also fell your bloodlust and hunger as well as your emotions." I had enough time in my life to think about why he lost control so easily, but the answer was pretty obvious.
Their mouths dropped and I chuckled. And last but not least I walked up to Edward. I gave him a long look over and felt the bitch's stare on me. I rolled my eyes and nodded at him. " Edward"
"Bella Boo you have a lot of explaining to do" Emmett said while jabbing a finger in my face. Yup. He's definitely a Felix. I noticed he winked at me and I smiled thankfully. This is why I always loved Emmett. Sure at times he could be a kid but you could always count on him.
"Don't worry. I suppose you all are staying. Chit chat can be done later. First I want to introduce you to my boyfriend, Alec." Alec placed a protective arm across my shoulders and I sighed. He is too cute when he's jealous. They all nodded firmly except for Alice who's eyes were dancing between us. I smiled at her and she winked back.
"My father figure as you all know is Aro. Heidi, Jane, and Chelsea are my sisters. Felix, Demetri, and Afton are my brothers. As if on cue, Demetri and Felix winked at the crowd. I was ecstatic. I was reunited with my family. I can't believe they were here though I guess it was to be expected since Carlisle is a close friend of Aro. I looked toward Rose and she was smiling timidly at me.
I walked over to her and embraced her in a hug. "I missed you too Rose" I knew she would never say it out loud but I knew she missed me. Just by the look in her eye.
"I'm so sorry Bella. I was such a bitch to you and you were always so kind to me. I don't blame you if you do not forgive me. I'm glad your back. This family has been a wreck without you." She said while starring at the floor.
"Rosie it's okay. And if I was never angry with you then how am I suppose to forgive you?" She smiled at me and whispered thank you. Maybe we could start off by being friends I thought hopefully.
I looked at her and finally asked her the question that was bothering me.
"Rosalie how did you know who I was ?" She beamed brightly and shrugged.
"Isn't it kind of obvious. I mean Isabella Marie, and the fact that you look somewhat like the human Bella. Also, you looked like if you could blush, your face would be tomato red.' She said as if it was the most simplest thing in the world.
The others simply looked at her in shock. I'm sure they would've thought Alice or Emmett would've recognized me first.
As soon as the party was over, we all cleaned up in what seemed like two minutes. I led Alice and Rosalie to my room while the others were downstairs in the game room playing poker I'm guessing.
"Wow Bella. You look gorgeous" Rosalie said while finally taking my new face in. I smiled and thanked her. I felt weird about her complimenting me while she was the living definition of beautiful.
"You guys can go in through those double door and pick out whatever you would like to wear." I smiled as they ran in the closet squealing like little girls. I was so damn happy that I couldn't keep it in any longer. I jumped up and down on my bed and started screaming like a lunatic. I didn't care how I looked. No damn right person could judge me at this moment.
I stopped and saw Alice and Rosalie starring at me wide eyed. I busted out laughing and they soon joined it. They both changed into a tank top and skirt complimented with matching flip flops.
Through the course of the next few hours, I told them what happened with my life as soon as Edward left me. Their expressions saddened but when I mentioned Alec they jumped up and squealed.
"Oh my god ! You two make the cutest couple ever !!" Alice gushed and Rosalie nodded her head in approval. I thought they would've been sad that I wasn't with their brother and couldn't officially be a part of their family any more. I guess they just wanted what was best for me. I smiled and looked down at my lap..
" Yeah I love him. But I don't know if he feels the same way." As soon as those words slipped out of my mouth the bedroom door and Alec himself tackled me to the bed kissing me all over. Oh god. Did he hear me ? Oh fuck fuck fuck !!
" I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you!" He boomed while finally kissing me on the lips. After about a minute, when we pulled away Rosalie and Alice were grinning from ear to ear looking all innocent like. Pshh.
Alec ignored them and looked straight into my eyes.
"Bella you have no idea how long I have been waiting for you to say that" he kissed me and kissed the ring that laid on my finger.
"I love you Alec" I whispered softly in his ear.
"I love you Bella" He said while quickly kissing my cheek. I could tell her wanted to say more but his head quickly went to Alice and Rose and changed his mind. As he headed out the door, he winked at Alice and Rose who giggled at him. As soon as he shut the door, Rosalie and Alice started screaming. The two of them together was worse than Jane's screams. And that was saying something. God I swear I would end up deaf one dya thanks to these girls.
After they quieted down, I told them about our date and everything from when I first stepped foot into the castle to the party.
We headed downstairs where the Cullens and my family waited. I took my respective seat on Alec's lap and kissed his jaw. " I love you,' I whispered. He winked at me and just as he was about to say something Carlisle interrupted us. Though I wasn't the least bit angry.
"So Bella. Seems like you have won the hearts of many people. Would you please care to explain to us how you became a part of the Volturi."
I started from the day Edward left me in the forests and the three weeks that I have been lonely and filled with misery. Their expressions were sad yet calm. Thank you Jasper. I smiled at him and he gave me a weak smile. I continued on with the story. Everything from first boarding the plane to becoming a part of the Volturi.
By the end of my little soap opera, Emmett and Jasper were glaring at Edward, and I think everyone knew the reason. Rosalie and Alice were on the brink of tears, that is if they could cry. Esme and Carlisle were trying to be strong and regained their composure quickly.
I looked at Alec and his face was unreadable. His jaw was tight and locked into place. His eyes were gazing at nothing in particular and his fists were curled up. I sighed and kissed his cheek. He soon looked my way and I smiled at him trying to assure him that everything was in the past. He relaxed and leaned back making me more comfortable.
"Oh um wow. Quite a journey you had eh Bella ?" Jasper spoke smiling at me. I hadn't noticed before but Jasper was kind of cute. I hadn't realized I was just starring at him until Jane nudged me and smirked nodding her head which I'm guessing was in agreement.
"Yeah but it was so totally worth it" I said while smiling at my family. I laid my head down on Alec's shoulder as we chit chatted about random nonsense.
"You know. Since we technically are her brothers, it's kind of my job to say this." Emmett began. I rolled my eyes. Oh no. The big brother speech. This will be amusing….
"If you ever hurt her I will rip your head off. Do not toy with her heart or I will kick your ass" Jasper finished which caused the whole room to laugh.
"I don't count on it. Don't worry. She is in safe hand" he nodded seriously which caused everyone to laugh.
Our laughter was broken off by a shrilly wail. Ugh I winced slightly What was that !? Sounded like a penguin !!!
"Eddie Poo!! I'm bored !!" called the stupid blond chick who was currently cuddling next to Edward. I rolled my eyes and heard Emmett and Jasper grumble some profanities . Edward rolled his eyes and I swear I saw Esme roll her eyes too. She saw me looking at her and looked down embarrassed which caused me to laugh.
Rosalie looked like she wanted to kill here right there and then. Alice was too busy smiling at me to notice. I beamed back at her and we laughed. Like the good old days. Old Days…I sighed and watched Edward and Tanya walk upstairs. After they left we started talking about random things. I told them all about my power and they grinned at me happily. I also gave them a demonstration because Emmett here couldn't understand it in words. Carlisle told me everything they had done when they had left Forks.
Jasper was working at a college as a History teacher in Alaska. Esme was working on a new interior design project while Carlisle found a new job at a local hospital, and they paid him double they did in Forks. Alice started making designs for local boutiques and selling them for some serious cash. Rosalie and Emmett basically spent there time together fixing up old cars and visiting car shows.
I smiled when they told me they had to keep themselves busy, and I was grateful no one mention what Edward did in Alaska. I'm pretty sure I have a nice clue. Shacking up with a blond vampire with no brain.
After a while we showed them all to their rooms, but Alice wanted all us girls to have a sleepover. Jane and Chelsea were excited to go but Heidi couldn't. She was leaving Italy for a few days. A vampire coven in Oregon needed her assistance with some personal things. Needless to say, I saw the gloom look on Demetri's face when she walked out the castle door.
We still had a few hours before Alice would call us down . Alec carried me bridal style whispering I Love You's the whole way there. I giggled and realized how amazingly lucky I was to have him.
We laid on the bed in a comfortable silence. Usually here and there he would kiss my head and my knuckles , but other than that we were quiet. He Didn't try to make meaningless talk with me. His very presence made me happy beyond words.
"Bella?" he whispered in my ear and it sent chills down my body. This man could do wonders to my body.
"Hmm?" I asked in a daze. I closed my eyes and started drifting. Though I knew I couldn't sleep, I wanted to see if I was at least able to dream..
"I love you. More than life itself" I turned around and starred at him.
"You really mean that?" I asked making sure. I wanted to know if he felt the same way I did.
" Of course. I have since the first time I saw you." He chuckled at something and I laid there confused.
"Did I miss something?" I asked unsure of why he was laughing or maybe he's gone crazy.
"Nothing at all love. Hey Bella. I have a question" I jumped on top of him so my whole body was laying on top of his.
"Shoot" He stayed quiet for a while as if pondering or questioning his actions.
"Would you ever marry me?" He asked confidently. Never once did his voice falter like I'm sure mine would have. Of course I already knew the answer to the question.
'Of course Alec. I love you" My answer seemed to satisfy him because he kissed my hard on the lips. I giggled at his stupidity. How could he think I wouldn't marry him?
"Then how about tonight. We can elope and go to Vegas." he smiled evilly. But underneath I knew he was dead serious. Ha I could picture him in some cheap chapel so desperate to marry me. I smiled a little.
I shook my head and he pouted. " Alec. I am not going to elope with you. First of all because the girls would kill me if they didn't get to plan me a wedding. And second, what's the rush Hun. I have all the time in the word for you"
"But someday right?" he questioned me as if to make sure. I nodded my head and kissed his forehead. He gave me a pout and pig puppy dog eyes. Even without the pout, I already known my answer.
"Definitely someday" We laid there starring at the moonlit sky not saying a word. I liked it this way. We could say so much without the need to say anything at all. He was my other half. My soul mate ,And this time I was sure of it.
"Isabella Marie -soon to be- Volturi !! Get your little booty down here before I come up and drag you out myself. We have a little surprise for you." I actually winced slightly as Alice's high pitched voice.
"Not so little to me' I heard Rosalie and Jane moan. Whoa Whoa moan !? What the hell.
I heard Rose whisper something to her and she gasped.
"Oh. Okay you got five minutes missy !" She yelled from downstairs. I chuckled and Alec laughed. I wonder what Rose told her. I forgot about their little surprise and looked up at Alec.
"That girl has got quite a set of lungs on her,' he teased. I nudged him with my elbow but nodded nonetheless. Alec's expression turned serious and hard but he kept his gaze on me.
'Now that they're back. You-you won't leave me right. I m-mean I um unders-stand if you do." He choked on the words and I bolted up.
"Alec ! How could you eve say that ! I love you and no them coming back does not change one thing" This boy was insane, but then again which boy wasn't right ? He smiled at me as if I was missing an important detail.
He smiled at me but I could tell he was still a bit shaken. I leaned in and kissed him and we never once broke the kiss until I felt of small hands pull me up and out of the room. I started complaining and Alec chuckled.
He propped up on one elbow and watched Alice drag me away to our little girl sleepover thing. We don't even sleep. What the hell ? But it was a small price to pay to get them back into my life. I felt happy as ever. I had the perfect boyfriend, perfect family, and all loose end were tied together tightly.
I heard girly squeals and screams coming from the room and I raised my eyebrows at Alice in question. She simply shook her head but I could still see that evil twinkle in her eyes.
I walked into the room. Well time for our girls night. Actually, I was pushed into the room. Well time for our girls night. What I saw scared me to death. Oh dear god…
"Strippers Alice !? Really !? Are you insane !?" I yelled whispered at her.
