Disclaimer: I own Paige, Emma, Abby, and Alex.
Chapter Summary: This is present day…Bella is 22, Paige is 23, Emma and Abby are 7. Edward and Alice are 22. Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper are 23.
Edward
"I know where Bella is."
My heart stopped when I heard those words. I looked at my family and their faces mirrored my own. Alice and Rosalie had tears in their eyes and I felt mine welling up as well. Emmett looked shocked and Jasper was smiling.
It was several moments before I could speak, but when I finally did, it was only one word.
"Where?"
Paige took a deep breath before answering.
"You may want to sit down because this is a long story."
I couldn't help but glare at her.
"Tell me where Bella is now!"
I felt Jasper's hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me down, but I shrugged him away.
"Edward calm down!"
I glared at Rosalie before turning my attention to Paige.
"Where?!"
Before she could answer I heard little feet running down the stairs.
"Girls!"
Emma and Abby ignored here and threw open the door.
"MOMMY!" "AUNT MADI!"
I heard the girls's voices shout and I assumed that Emma's mother and the girl's aunt had come in together. I noticed Paige's eyes get extremely large before she muttered under her breath.
"Shit."
Bella
"Madi?" I finished my call and turned around to face Angela.
"What's up Ang?"
She simply smiled.
"Go home."
I shook my head.
"I cant. I'll get fired if they catch me."
Angela groaned.
"How many occurrences do you have?"
"2"
Angela grinned.
"Make the hours up."
I grinned.
"Is Sam here?"
She nodded. I grinned and ran back to talk to Sam who approved the schedule change.
"You out of here?"
I nodded and kissed Angela's cheek.
"Thanks Angela! Love ya!"
She grinned and blew a kiss before shooing me out. I thought about calling Paige to see if she wanted me to pick up dinner, but I decided against it. I figured we'd order in.
As I jumped into my car I felt a weird pulling sensation coming from the direction I was driving towards my house. The feeling felt familiar, but I couldn't place where I had felt it before. My favorite song came on the radio so it was easy to ignore.
She never slows down
She doesn't know why but
She knows that when
She's all alone feels
Like it's all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long
And she fears if she cries
That first tear
The tears will not stop
Raining down
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself
And the fears whispering
If she stands, she'll fall down
She wants to be found but
The only way out is through
everything she's running from
Wants to give up and lie down
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
I continued to sing until I pulled into the driveway. I immediately noticed the large jeep that was sitting in front of the house. I got nervous for a minute thinking that James was here, but when I took a closer look at it, I realized it definitely wasn't his new car. I saw that the mud on it was caked on and the tires looked as if they were used for off- roading, something James would definitely never do. So I just chalked it up to Paige having someone over or Alex got a new set of wheels, either way it wasn't a big deal.
As I opened the door I didn't even make it a step inside before I was thrown onto my back (Yes, my daughter and god-daughter knocked me over) by the balls of energy known as Emma and Abby.
"Mommy!" "Aunt Madi!"
I laughed slightly and hugged them both, tickling their sides lightly.
"Hi girls! How are my babies?"
Emma and Abby both smiled and kissed one of my cheeks before Emma started talking and bouncing.
"Mommy! You gotta meet my new best friend!"
I quirked an eyebrow at my little one, shooting my god-daughter a look as well. Abby didn't look upset or anything so I was assuming that they didn't have a fight.
"I thought Abby was your best friend?"
Emma rolled her eyes at me. I internally winced; Emma was turning out to be way too much like me.
"Emma's my little best friend mommy! My big best friend is…"
Emma was cut off by Paige running out (yes we were still on the porch) and screaming.
"EMILY ALICE! ABIGIAL MARIE! UPSTAIRS!"
Emma and Abby both stood up and ran inside and up the stairs. I looked at Paige in confusion.
"What the hell was that about?"
Paige winced before holding her hand out to help me up (I was still seated on the porch).
"I have something's to show you." She commented before dragging me into the living room.
"I believe you know each other." She told me before she turned me around and green eyes met my own, green eyes I knew, green eyes that I could never forget.
Green eyes that belonged to Edward Cullen.
"Oh my god."
