And here is a shout out to EdwardCullen4Eva1! Thank you for your shout out my Cotton Candy Buddy! You will always be my bestie! I love you a ton!(:

So, let's move on to chapter fourteen:

Previously: I pulled up outside the familiar house.

"Breath Bella." I told myself. "It'll be okay." I climbed out of the truck and walked up the sidewalk and knocked on the door. A very familiar face appeared at the door in seconds.

"Bella?" she called, tears immediately formed in her eyes.

"Hi mom."

Bella's Point Of View:

"Bella, what are you doing here?" she asked. She didn't sound mad or upset, but she sounded as if she actually cared, which did kind of surprise me. And then I lost it. Suddenly, I was sobbing. "Oh, Bella…" she said sadly, pulling me into a warm embrace.

"Mom," I sobbed into her shoulder, which was a little damp from my tears. "I'm so, so sorry."

"For what, Honey?" she asked. I pulled away and looked at her, a little surprised she didn't know what I was talking about. "Come on," she continued. "Let's get inside." I carried my bags inside my old childhood home. I was shocked to see that everything had stayed the same. Nothing changed at all. They still had the small green house in the living room, the same warm green walls in the kitchen. It was like a total time warp.

"You can set your bags on the floor there," my mom pointed to the area by the staircase. "and then we can go sit down and talk. Would you like any tea, or coffee maybe?"

"Anything is fine."

"Alright." She gave me a small smile before she headed into the kitchen. I laid my bag, which I had stopped by the apartment to grab, no knowing how long I would be here, down and slowly walked to the couch, taking in the old memories here as I walked through it. I could almost see a younger, much younger, version of me running around like I used to.

I flopped down on the couch and looked around. The TV was still in the same place, the coffee table was still right in front of the couch, and framed pictures were all in almost the same spots. My eyes grazed over one in particular. It was of my mom, my dad, and me sitting at the park, ice cream all over are lips and noses. I could almost remember that day perfectly.

Mom and Dad had surprised me by taking the day off of work to spend some family time. We had gone to Port Angeles to go shopping, although my dad just sat around and waited for my mom and I to be done. After shopping, we had drove back to Forks. We had decided to stop and get ice cream. We went to the park and ate our cones, which melted in the rare warm day in Forks.

"Where's dad at?" I called.

"Oh, he's at work. He'll be home pretty soon." she called back. I nodded to myself.

"Okay," my mom chirped as she came into the room. She was carrying two cups, which I figured were tea. Charlie and Rene had a thing for tea. It was nice to see they still did. "I brought you tea. I hope that's okay."

"That's great." I said, giving her a smile.

"Oh, good." she said, taking a seat at the opposite side of the couch. I took a sip of tea. "So," she went on. "Bella, what brought you home?" I felt my heart grow warmer when she called it 'home'.

"I missed you guys. I needed to get away."

"Are you in some kind of trouble?" she asked worriedly.

"Oh! No, I'm not." She seemed to relax a little bit more. "I just… Well, I needed to just get away from everything that was going on." I felt like I was going to lose it again. It killed me to leave Edward. I wanted to be there for him while he recovered. I wanted to be there for him all the time. But, he broke my heart.

Rene nodded. "And how's the baby?" That was a question I hadn't expected right now. But of course they didn't know he was gone. I hadn't talked to them in years. I felt tears getting ready to pour out. "Bella, what's wrong?"

"He's dead mom." I whispered. Her eyes widened, and he hand went up to her mouth. "Oh, my god." she mumbled. "Honey, what happened?"

"He was killed." I said. I could feel tears coming out now. She looked like she had tears in her eyes as well.

I explained the whole story to her. I told her about Victoria, and the Volturi, and the Cullen's. And she listened.

"But why are you here right now?" she asked after I explained everything. The only things I had left out was Edward's accident and the events that occurred afterwards.

"You know how I mentioned Edward?" I asked her. She nodded, allowing me to go on. "Well, we started dating. And then yesterday, I think?" I couldn't quite remember exactly when it was. I had been in such a daze. "Well, he got in a car accident. I was at the hospital with him, when his ex girlfriend showed up. I kept asking if he loved her, but he wouldn't answer me. He didn't try to fight for me or anything. So I left. And I came here."

"Bella, I'm so sorry." my mom whispered, her eyes wide from everything I had just told her. "You know, as soon as we kicked you out, both off us realized it was a terrible mistake, but we both thought it was too late. We didn't think you'd ever forgive us. And we didn't know where to find you."

"Dad's a cop. He could off figured it out." I said, slightly irritated bringing that up.

"But, there was no point. We thought you hated us."

"I did. You kicked me out when I needed you. I had been raped, and you guys kicked me out the minute I told you."

"Bella, kicking you out, was the worst mistake you dad and I ever made. Ever." she told me. "We both love you. And we hope that you'll forgive us for our mistake, even though it put you through a lot more crap then you needed."

"You guys are my parents. Of course I'll forgive you."

"Oh, thank you Bella!" she cried. I went closer to her and hugged her tightly. She hugged me back. Both of us were crying and hugging and apologizing when we heard the front door open and close. We pulled away and looked towards the door, only to find my dad standing there, staring at me in shock.

"Hi Dad." I greeted nervously. Dad had been the one to actually kick me out. Mom had just agreed with everything he said, but she usually did.

"Bella?" he choked out.

"Yeah. It's me." Charlie came over to sit in the green recliner that was seated next to the couch.

"What- what are you doing here?" he asked.

I explained everything to him as well. My mom sat and listened to it all again, nodding every once in awhile. My dad seemed shocked with everything that I told him, just like my mom had. My mom had cried again when I explained everything about Jace, and so did my dad. Once I finished explaining everything, he said almost the same thing as my mom.

"Bella, I am so sorry." he told me. "Kicking you out was a terrible mistake."

"I know. And I forgive you guys." I told him.

"Really? You do? Even after everything you went through, thanks to us?" he asked surprised.

"Yes. Of course I do. You guys are my parents. I love you, even though you practically disowned me. I still forgive you." Charlie and Rene both smiled.

"Will you be staying her for while then?" my mom asked.

"Yes, if that's alright."

"Oh, of course it is!" My dad cried, smiling at me. Rene nodded in agreement, smiling as well.

That night, we had dinner together at the small kitchen table. It felt so weird having small family dinners again. I hadn't since I was fifteen. It was nice though. Dad told us about everything going on with kids in town, and Mom went on about her little stories, like how Forks had put in a new playground for example.

After dinner, I decided to go for a walk. It felt nice to walk around my childhood neighborhood. I had so many memories here.

"Bella?" I heard a voice call behind me. I spun around to see a brown haired girl standing next to me.

"Yeah. Do I know you?"

"It's me. Jessica." she told me. Jessica had been my best friend throughout school. She and I had always hung out, or talked about boys. She was much more girly then me, but we were close.

"Oh my god!" I cried. "You look so different. Older. Wiser. How are you?"

"I'm good. Bitch, I've missed you! How've you been?"

"Alright. There's a lot of shit that's gone on though. We should totally hang out sometime and catch up. I've missed you too slut!" We had this habit of calling each other stuff like 'skank', 'whore', 'fag', etcetera.

"Yeah. Here," she pulled a piece of paper and a pen out of her purse and started writing on it. "This is my number. New phone, new number. Anyways, call me sometime."

"Here's mine." I ripped off a piece of the paper she gave me, grabbed a pen out of my own bad, and put my cell number on it. She took it, putting it in her pocket.

"I'll see you soon." I smiled at her.

"Bye Bella." she smiled back and walked away.

When I got home that night, Charlie and Rene were sitting on the couch. Charlie was watching football, his arm around my mom. They had always made a good couple.

"Hey Bells!" Charlie greeted at the same time as Rene saying, "Hi Honey!"

"Hey guys." I smiled at them. It was starting to get dark out. "I'm going to go upstairs. I might just go to bed. I'll see you guys in the morning."

"Okay. We love you." My mom said, Charlie nodding in agreement.

"Love you too." I said and headed upstairs. My room was exactly the same too. It was like no one had took a step in here since last time I was here. I still had the same green walls, purple sheets, brown head bored. The small wooden desk was against the same wall. It was like it was just waiting for my return.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I pulled it out of my pocket and answered, expecting it to be Jessica. But it wasn't.

"Bella? Where the hell are you?" I heard a pixie-like voice demand from the other end.

"Alice?" I asked.

"Yes. It's me. Now, could you please answer the question." she said angrily.

"I'm at home."

"No, your not. I'm actually at your apartment right now."

"No, I mean my mom and dad's house. My old home."

"Oh," she sounded surprised. "Why?"

"I needed to leave."

"Because of Tanya." she said, but it wasn't a question.

"Partly." I sighed.

"Well, what else is there?" she demanded, angry again.

"I left because even when I tried to ask Edward if she loved her, he wouldn't answer. I know he loves her. He didn't fight for me Alice. He let me go, without saying anything." I said, close to losing it like I almost had earlier.

"Bella…" she sighed. "Edward loves you. And if you don't recall, he was in a hospital bed. He couldn't exactly go after you very well. Although, the idiot did try. But Bella you don't know the whole story. He loved Tanya. But she cheated on him. He was ready to marry her, when he found her in bed with his best friend. She broke his heart. And the way I heard it, you didn't give him much of a chance to say anything."

"What do you mean he tried?" I asked, ignoring the rest of what she said for a second.

"What? Oh, well, I talked to Tanya. I got her to leave and let you two be together. When I went up to Edward's room, he was lying on the ground blubbering like a baby! He tried to go after you, but he's kind of broken. It didn't do him much good."

"He tried coming after me?" I asked.

"Yeah. But, as soon as he got out of the bed, he fell to the ground. But that's not the point Bella. The point is, right now he's heartbroken. You need to get your ass back here because not only does Edward need you, but Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and I all are going crazy without you. Emmett has been pouting and crabby since he found out you were gone, which just makes it worse for Rose. And Jasper, well your like his and Emmett's little sister. They miss you a lot. And your mine and Rose's bestest friend! We need you Bella. Especially Edward. He hardly talks to anyone who comes to visit him. He'll speak to Esme sometimes so he doesn't hurt her feelings, but that's it. He just won't speak. And when he sleeps, he always calls your name. Please come back Bella. We need you." She sounded like she was going to start crying at any minute.

"I'll come back." I sighed. "But not right now. I need to spend some time with my parents before I do."

"Okay. I understand. So, should I tell everyone you'll be back soon?"

"No. Let's surprise them."

"Good idea. Although, it's going to be hard to put up with their depressing attitudes when I know the truth. However, it could be rather funny. Well, I'll see you soon."

"Okay Alice. Call me if anything happens."

"To Edward?"

"Yes. Or anyone. But otherwise, I'll see soon. Love ya!"

"Love you too!" she said and I hung up. I looked at my phone again and realized I had ten missed calls. Two were from Alice. Two were from Rosalie. One was from Emmett. One was from Jasper. And four were from Edward. I sighed. I wanted to call him back and tell him I was coming back, although I wasn't sure if I would take him back.

My phone buzzed again.

"Hello?" I answered it.

"Bella? It's Jessica." Jessica said.

"Hey! What's up?" I was glad it was her and not another Cullen, or possibly a Hale.

"Well, I was wondering if you want to hang out tomorrow?" she said, ending it in a question.

"Yeah! Of course."

"Sweet. Well, I'll pick you up. Your living at you parent's place, right?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. Well, I'll pick you up there tomorrow!"

"Okay. Cool. I'll see you tomorrow! Bye."

"Bye Bells." she said, hanging up. I had missed Jessica when I first left, but after awhile, I pushed most of my memories of home out of my mind. Including Jessica. She had been my best friend. We shared just about all of our secrets. We were each other's shoulder to cry on. When her parents got divorced when we were in sixth grade, we spent a lot of time together. As an only child, Jessica and I were always lonely. So we spent as much time with each other as possible. And our parents were friends too, so when they would go out, Jessica and I would always be together too.

I went up to my window and looked outside. I could see the younger me running down the street. And then I remembered what I had been doing. I had been trying to chase Jessica down the street. We were playing tag. Of course, with me being me, I tripped over nothing, and ended up breaking my leg. I always had a broken bone. I decided when I turned fourteen, not to even bother trying to run or anything anymore. I was skilled enough to break a bone just walking around, so I decided, running was much worse.

I went and lied down on my bed. It felt so comfortable, and I was pretty tired. I fell asleep in seconds.

Alice's Point Of View:

"Jasper, why don't you go play a video game with Emmett." I suggested. Emmett was in a funk. He sat around and pouted. Thank you very much Bella Swan!

"No," Emmett said before Jasper could answer. "No. I don't really want to play a game."

"What? You always want to play!" Rosalie said surprised. We were sitting in Emmett and Jasper's small apartment, which was starting to have an odor, due to lack of caring and being here.

"Well," Emmett said. "I don't right now."

Rosalie sighed. She sat on the couch next to Emmett. I wanted to tell her that Bella was coming back, but I was going to keep it a secret for Bella. And besides, as hard as it was to not tell them when they were this depressing, it was funny. Emmett sat on the couch, his arms across his chest, and a pout on his face. He looked like a little boy who was in time out. Jasper was more sane and realistic, but he just sat around like Emmett, just without the little boy pout. And Rosalie looked like she wanted to cry anytime Bella's name was brought up. I had felt that way too, but that was before I knew Bella would for sure come back. Actually, I was more scared for Bella. I thought she might do something to hurt herself. She had been through enough to want to do something to herself.

Bella's Point Of View:

When I woke up, there was a text from Jessica.

Bells,

Does noon sound okay for me to pick you up?

-Jess

I looked at my clock next to my bed. It was ten. That gave me about two hours. I quickly texted a reply.

Jess,

That's perfect. See you then!

-Bella

I got up out of my bed and took a shower. I used my mom's shampoo, which was the same kind as mine. Strawberry scented. Her and I both loved the smell of it. Edward had told me once he loved the smell on me.

I missed Edward. I was mad at him, but I still loved him. I don't think I could ever stop loving him. And maybe I was over reacting, I mean, after what Alice told me about Tanya breaking his heart, I felt terrible. But I still didn't understand how I could tell him all of the stuff I told him, and he couldn't tell me. I understand it broke his heart, but try holding your dead baby. That is what really breaks your heart.

I forced myself to stop thinking about the two people I had loved more then anyone. Of course, one of them was dead, and the other broke my heart. Fantastic…

I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror after wrapping up in a towel. My wet hair was all over the place. My boring looks were even more boring then usual. I had tears running down my cheeks, which surprised me. I hadn't even realized I had been crying, but I usually did when I thought about Jace. And now Edward I guess too.

So, what did you guys think? I tried to make this chapter a little longer then usual! Hope you liked it! Review
