Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. I'm just playing with them.

I also do not own the lyrics!

A/N: I hope this chapter lives up to everyone's expectations! So the last one was kind of a cliff-hanger, but the problem with writing a cliff-hanger is that the product is hardly ever as exciting as people want it to be. So I'm sorry if this is anticlimactic.

So many reviews!! I am just so happy!! I want to thank you all for your wonderful support! Every time I get a new review it just makes me want to write more!


BPOV:

I leaned back into the seat, I was tired and I had no idea how long we'd been driving.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I leaned forward.

Alice smiled, she was driving and I really wished with the speed we were going she'd keep her eyes on the road.

We were already pulling up a long driveway.

"This is Emmett and Rosalie's."

The house looked like something out of a movie, one of those hallmark ones. It was a small cottage, gray bricks, with white shutters, and ivy.

There was a small garden and a little stream behind the house, which was pushed up by a hill.

It was the most beautiful place I'd ever been in my life.

"Where are we?" I breathed.

"North Carolina."

I looked out at the land, awe-struck.

"It's beautiful,"

Alice nodded in agreement, just as the door burst open.

I jumped and nearly fell over adding to the loud booming laughter coming from the doorway.

Emmett.

"Bella!" He boomed. "Still clumsy as ever?"

I turned redder than a tomato, which only made him laugh harder.

Emmett moved out of the doorway and came down to greet his siblings.

From the doorway, there was a sharp intake of breath and I turned to see Rosalie standing in the doorway.

She was wearing a long yellow coat, with about eight buttons going up the front in rows of twos, under it she wore tight black pants and I realized that even though it was summer the weather wouldn't affect her.

"What's she doing here?" She hissed glaring at me. I blushed furiously.

"She's here on a road trip." Alice answered calmly.

"Right," Rosalie snapped. She turned on her heel and marched back into the cottage.

"Rose, don't be like that!" Emmett called; he didn't look like laughing anymore. He looked upset.

"Sorry, Bella. She's just touchy." He hurried in the house to find his wife and I looked down at the ground, embarrassed. What right did I have to barge into their home when I was so clearly unwanted?

"Don't worry, Bella. She'll come around." Alice patted me gently on the back. "But not until she respects you."

"What?"

"You're going to have to stand up for yourself someday, Bella." Alice said soothingly.

I nodded, she was right. I just didn't want to start a fight with Rosalie. I mean the odds were leaning towards the super-naturally strong vampire.


"You're all that I hoped I'd find/ In every single way/ And everything I could give/ Is everything you couldn't take/ 'Cause nothing feels like home/ You're a thousand miles away/ And the hardest part of living/ Is just taking breaths to stay/ 'Cause I know I'm good for something/ I just haven't found it yet/ And I need it"- Mayday Parade's "Miserable at best"


EPOV: (the night before)

I could smell Bella's scent it was faint, but still there and it led up to a room at a charming house in Jacksonville, Florida. This must be her mother's home.

I was right.

Renee and Phil were watching TV together and through the window I could see a large picture of Bella, it was older, maybe from her school in Arizona.

I could smell her scent strongest from the room upstairs and I climbed quickly up the tree to see if I could tell how long she'd stayed here. Had Alice and Jasper stayed here too? I could smell a hint of them, though it wasn't as strong, since I wasn't looking for it.

A heard and felt something crinkle under my hand and I saw an envelope nailed to the branch, I pulled it loose easily as if it had been taped instead.

Dearest Edward,

Good! You read the first letter and you're sticking to your plan. I'm so happy! And you're lucky that you are, otherwise I'd have to track you down and smack some sense into you.

Bella's doing well considering all she's been through.

I'll call you when I think Bella's ready to see you again. She just needs time.

We're off to visit family.

Love, Alice.

They were visiting family? Which part of the family? Carlisle and Esme or Rosalie and Emmett?

I took the picture of the envelope. It was of Bella standing between her mother and step-father Phil. Jasper stood on the end.

I tucked it into my pocket and went to try to find some clue to where they were going.

(Later)

My phone began to ring and I grabbed it quickly.

"Edward?"

I knew that voice anywhere. It was Alice.

"Alice, what do you want? Is it Bella?" I asked hurriedly, all other thoughts driven from my mind.

"Sort of," She replied. "It's more that I want to see you, face to face to talk it out."

"Alright Alice," I agreed, the only thing on my mind still was my angel. "How's Bella?"

"She's fine."

FINE? Fire was a far cry from good or even alright. Fine didn't sound promising. What had happened? Had she fallen? Had someone said something cruel?

"She'd be better if Rosalie hadn't made her feel so bad…"

Rosalie?

"Rosalie? You're with Rosalie?" I asked, shocked. They had been going to see Rosalie and Emmett. I quickly sped up my car, I had my clue.

Alice swore loudly in my ear.

"Edward, remember before you come rushing to North Carolina, that we're on a road trip!"

"Where are you going then?" I snapped, I was having a hard time controlling my feelings; Anger, excitement, guilt, love, worry.

What if Bella wouldn't take me back? Ididn't deserve her love.

"Nevada."

"Nevada?" It took my only seconds to realize what they were doing. "You're taking her to Las Vegas, aren't you?"

I closed my eyes, pained at the very idea.

My siblings were completely untrustworthy at this point.

"Of course we are! Where else?"

They couldn't just take her to a museum or sight-seeing? They had decided to take her to the gambling capitol of the world.

"You can't take her to a casino!" I protested.

"You'd be surprised." She giggled. "Think of all the fun we can have in Las Vegas!"

I shuddered at the idea and heard the click of the phone.

She had hung up on me? What about wanting to see me face to face? This was a disaster. My angel was being dragged to sin city, to do heaven knows what.

My phone vibrated and I noticed I had a "text message" which Alice had taught me how to use in case Bella sent me one. Though I doubted my love would have ever needed to, I wasn't even sure she had ever sent one in her life.

It was a location. The place Alice wanted to meet face to face.


BPOV:

We were all in the car again. Alice and Jasper up front. Emmett and a very unhappy Rosalie on either side of me.

Alice was determined to make Rosalie and I get along. I would have been willing to work at friendship, if Rosalie hadn't stopped sending me death glares. Alice seemed to think the radio was a good way to bond so she was blasting it, making Emmett complain.

"We're one mistake from being together! But let's not ask why it's not right!" Alice sang happily (and loudly) from the front seat.

I sighed and settled in for a long car ride, as Alice played with the radio, trying to get us to sing-along.

"Alice! I don't want to sing!" Rosalie finally snapped after Alice's attempt to get us to sing "Hollaback girl" for the fifth time.

"But I have the CD!" Alice chirped. "We can listen to it over and over."

"No!" Yelled Emmett and Jasper at the same time.

"Well one more time than." Alice sighed, disappointed.

This was going to be a long car ride.


RPOV:

I didn't want her here.

It wasn't Bella personally, under any other circumstance I'd think of her as a nice girl.

But she was putting my family in danger.

Now Alice was dragging us off to Vegas to gamble, which Bella couldn't do, anyway.

Alice had to make two stops, one because Bella had to eat and one because she had to make a phone call.

She must be calling Edward.

Why else would she look so pleased with herself?

She was trying to get me to be nice to Bella, and I wasn't really trying to go cruel to her, I just wanted our lives back to the way they were before.

Bella had come into our lives, she'd figured out our secret simply, and it worried me, if Bella could do it how many others could?

She loves him though, another part of my brain argued.

What would I do if Emmett left me for "my own good"? Track him down that's what.

Alice made Jasper get out and switch all the things she'd bought over this whole "road trip" with Bella. Luckily, she'd bought more suitcases.

We were taking a plane to Nevada.

We had to sit and wait around for about an hour, and then it was boarding time. Alice wanted the window seat and she pulled Bella down next to her, and just as I was about to turn and sit with Emmett she called me over and Jasper stole the seat next to Emmett, and the poor elderly lady by the window had to listen to them talk loudly about whatever it was Emmett and Jasper talked about it.

I glared at Alice whom just smiled angelically.

"I have something for you two!" She said happy. Bella looked at her in horror and I knew that I wasn't going to like it much either.

She held up the two small pieces of paper.

Great, just great!

"You and Bella are going to have so much fun together!"

Oh, she was so dead!


A/N: Sorry about the little cliffhanger! I hope you like the chapter though. I honestly tired to make it longer. But I'll probably update tomorrow!

You can find Rosalie's coat on my page. It's really cute! I want one! Oh, well I'll survive. But honestly who other than a Cullen pays that much for a coat?

Reviews please!!
