A/N: I kept my promise and Updated today even though I only got 3 reviews come on you guys can do better than that show me some love :)) I nknow yall got it in you, thank you to all the reviewers and story alerts and favs means a lot.
I woke up nervous, I didn't know what to expect today, Alice showing up last night really turned things around. Thank god she's back if she would have died and I wouldn't of said anything I would feel worse then I already did.
I was lying to everyone and worse yet Alice of all people knows. She could have burst my bubble last night and exposed me to the whole family last night, why didn't she? She was probably going to blackmail me to leave this morning at breakfast great!
I flipped the covers back not bothering to try to fix myself up this was going to be a crappy morning. I through on a juicy couture sweat suit and brushed my hair into a messy bun and took Roses car a half a mile up to the Cullen mansion.
Going around back to the deck I immediately spotted Alice, even black and blue she looked neat and clean she was also in a sweat suit I understand after jakes beatings I wore them often they are the most comfortable thing to be in.
"Good morning" I mumbled.
"Good morning Bella how did you sleep?" she asked motioning for me to take a seat across form her.
"Fine" I replied
"I had the best sleep I've had in weeks in my old bedroom it's good to be back" she announced.
"Cut the crap Alice I know you're going to expose me, what do you want? Me to move out? Done I will be out of here by tomorrow" I said standing up to leave, she grabbed my arm.
"Bella wait, sit down" she said calmly, I plopped back down in my seat.
"I don't want you to go, and I'm not going to blackmail you" she replied, I was shocked.
"Then what do you want then?" I asked.
"I don't want anything from you, maybe to just know why you didn't tell everyone "she said, I sighed.
"Well, they took you because of me and I didn't want anyone to know it was all my fault you got taken, they would put me out on the street and I had nowhere else to go" I choked out getting little misty eyed.
"Oh God Bella you think they took me because of you?" she laughed.
"What other reason could there be" I asked confused.
"There's just something's you just don't understand, but I will tell you one thing it wasn't all because of you I got taken yes Jacob Black wanted you but there's other things." She replied.
"Like what?" I asked
"Sorry pumpkin I can't tell you, but I will tell you I will keep your secret"
I almost choked on my drink
"You will?" I quizzed unbelieving.
"Yes, after going through what I imagine you went through, I want to say I'm sorry for my behavior towards you, I was going through some personal issues and I took it out on you" she replied.
"I'm sorry too I could have been more understanding" I replied.
"I can't believe we are sitting here having breakfast, if you would have told me last month id be chatting it up with you I would have shot someone in the face" she laughed.
"I know right" I smiled. Taking a bite of the omelet that I hadn't noticed before was in front of me.
"Mmm.. this is good you made this?" I asked surprised because I remember Jasper saying she couldn't cook.
"Heavens no Marcy is back from vacation she made these" she replied.
"Oh Marcy is a great cook" I moaned taking another forkful.
"Yeah she really is, but from what I hear you are too" she replied.
"I do alright" I blushed.
"So what is this now? Are we friends? Associates, just cordial?" I inquired.
"Honestly I'd like to be friends, but we need to wipe the slate clean and start over fresh, you got a fire inside you Bella and I like it I think when we get to know each other better we will get along just fine" she replied, I nodded.
"So..umm how's Jasper?" I asked biting a piece of pineapple, a look of worry crossed her face.
"Umm.. he wasn't In last night" she said sadly.
"Oh I'm sorry" I frowned.
"It's alright he will be back later I suppose" I could hear the doubt in her voice, feeling bad for bringing it up I tried to pick up the mood.
"So, I've heard how much of a perfectionist you are so I could teach you something's for covering up those bruises" I offered.
"That would be great!" she smiled.
"Since I've been gone so long I have some defiant errands to run and I can't go anywhere looking like this. "
"Come on " I said leading her off the deck and too Roses car.
We got back to Roses and started right away, we were laughing and giggling trying to find Alice's shade surprised for once in my life someone matched me skin shade, I was the palest person I knew.
As a joke I gave her orange lip stick and spun her around to face the mirror she said if she could she would so kick my ass for that right now. All the laughing attracted Rose she came in my room and froze.
"What's all this…." She asked unsure.
I ran out of the bathroom and tackled her covering her lips with teal lipstick as Alice laughed from the bathroom.
"What the fuck Bells" she growled.
"Howdy aqua lips! I laughed.
"I'm going to get you she pinned me to the floor and put lime green on my lips, I tried to wiggle away to it got all over my face.
"Sea monster mouth!" she laughed.
"Bella why in the world do you even have these odd ass colors" Alice asked.
" it came in a jumbo like 40 pack of lipstick" is shrugged.
We cleaned up and fixed Alice's face up really well; we let her go run her errands and promised to meet at Barneys for lunch.
"So… you guys alight now?" Rose quizzed as I cleaned up the remaining clutter in my bathroom.
"Yeah we decided to start fresh" I told her.
"I'm glad, I'm just so glad she's back and this whole feud is over, things are looking up" She said.
"Yeah" I agreed.
"Well I got to run out to get a few things for dinner you want to come?" she asked.
"No I'm okay, I'm just going to chill here" I smiled.
"Alright boo be back in a little." She said before making her exit.
I hopped in the shower pondering over Alice's words,
There's a lot you don't understand,
What is everyone trying to keep from me? I know I don't have the right to be angry over secrets but I'm dying over here.
Getting dressed in some denim shorts and a white tank top I slipped my flip flops on and made my way to the main house for answers.
I crept in the front door and snuck up the steps and down the left hallway to Edwards office, I listened for noise but then I realized it was soundproof so I wouldn't hear anything I cracked the door open a tiny bit an listened.
Hearing nothing I opened the door and entered. I didn't know where to start looking for the answers I desperately needed but I was going to try.
The two best places I could think of where the filing cabinets and his desk. I went to his desk and pulled out the bottom drawer and ruffled through papers finding nothing I tried the other side, nothing.
I tried to pull the top drawer but it was locked. There had to be a key around here somewhere but while I was looking I heard a noise in the hallway and Edward curse under his breath. Panicking immediately I did the first thing I could think to do I ran for the closet. Just as I closed the closet door I heard him enter and plop down in his chair.
It was silent for a moment before I heard him pick up the phone and dial a number putting it on speaker.
"Aye Demetri what you got for me man?" Edward spoke.
"The Blacks have went into hiding for a bit, they have nothing pending on their schedules for two weeks looks like they are not leaving the house" the guy on the other end who I presume is Demetri spoke.
"That is unacceptable! The Black Cartel does not fuck with the Cullen Cartel and get away with this shit if I have to get them one by one I fucking will do you hear me look for individual schedules anyone flying in or out alone! Find me something!" he barked before he slammed the phone back on the receiver.
A million things where running through my mind, Cullen and Black Cartel? Like drug cartel? I knew that they may have been into some not completely legal business but drugs? Drugs destroy peoples lives and break apart families, there are children on that mess.
I scrunched down to the floor clutching my heart trying to catch my breath when I saw the corner of the carpet slightly out of place. Bored and curious I pulled it back more until it was half way back and I saw this carpet underneath it, but this one looked like it had to be a square cut in the center I dug my nails in to lift it up and there was this black whole but when my hand got close lights appeared it looked to be some sort a tunnel, just then a waft of dust came spilling out and tickled my nose, I felt a sneeze coming on.
I covered my mouth but it was too late I heard Edward rise from his chair, I quickly put the carpet back in place and stood up to face the music. As soon as I steadied my balance Edward ripped the door open gun in hand.
