a/n-Yay! Virtual lollipops around! 100 reviews!!!! I didn't really like how the last chapter ended up. I shall redeem myself...Eventually.
Bella POV
The Cullens' house was absolutly drop dead gorgeous. It looked out onto a river which was surrounded by the sounds of wildlife and green vegitation.
I refused to allow their mansion intimidate me.
I walked up the doorstep. The house looked rather differently than the house of Forks. I regretted thinking that immediately. Before I knew it I was doubling over in pain.
It was made out of white bricks, and slightly smaller. It was extremely modern looking with expensive looking round windows. I could see silk curtains hanging behind the windows. Alice definetily had something to do with that one. It looked more like a castle than anything.
Once I had recovered, I held up my hand to knock on the dark blue door.
I hesitated, having second thoughts. The anxiety was eating me alive.
I was about to turn around and run away like I usually did, but Alice swung the door open with a genuine grin on her face. I couldn't run away from that.
She yanked me inside and swiftly kissed me on either cheeks.
I stopped myself before I thought about how she did that when Edward first took me over to their house.
"Bella, you came!" Alice could barely contain her excitment.
"Oh, like you didn't know." I accused
In the flash of a second, every single one of the Cullens was standing in front of me, except for Edward.
I assumed that Alice had told him to stay away.
I sighed in sadness, but caught myself before I began to sob.
I took in the room that we were standing in. It looked very much like a living room. A spiral staircase made it's way up. I looked up and saw the house had three stories. A crystal chandeliar hung in the middle and for some reason made me feel slightly more uncomfortable. I looked at the floor and held back a gasp when I noticed it was a light stone color. It intimidated me.
I finally looked up at the Cullens.
I drank in each and every one of the faces that I hadn't seen in months.
I was suddenly engulfed in a hug given by Emmett.
"Bella!" He yelled in excitment. "I knew you'd come back!"
Rosalie smirked. "That's why you were sobbing the other day."
He glared at her. I obviously wasn't supposed to know that bit of information.
I hugged my stomach so that I would sob about the pain I cause everyone.
"It's glad to have you back Bella." Esme told me as she hugged me.
What exactly had Alice told them?
Carlisle smiled at me and put me in a one armed hug, while Jasper was grinning like an idiot as he did the same.
"It's good to see you too." I told them, not wanting to give them the wrong idea I quickly pulled Alice aside. "Alice, what exactly did you tell them?"
She looked up at me innocently.
"Alice," I groaned. "I'm not here to stay. I can't live with you guys. I live with Charles and Lara."
Her expression quickly turned sad as she turned around to inform everybody else that i wasn't here to stay.
Jasper walked casually up to me, and pulled me into the kitchen.
"Bella, you don't have to be here you know. I can tell, you're feeling pain. It's painful for you to see us after what we did to you."
Of course Jasper would know.
"It's okay. It's good to see you guys. Really." I told him, trying to be as convincing as possible.
He was right. It was going to take some time.
I didn't want to get hurt again. Not again.
If they suddenly decided to leave, i wouldn't be able to take it.
Jasper gave up and led me back to where the rest of the family stood eying Jasper suspiciously.
It was going to be harder than I thought to be with my family again.
Edward POV
I laid in my room, listening to the thoughts of everyone downstairs.
They were all happy for the first time since we had left.
They all thought that me and Bella would be together again.
Everytime I heard that, I whinced in agony.
They didn't understand. It wasn't like that anymore.
The love of my life didn't love me anymore.
I spent the rest of the night listening to everyone downstairs to make sure that Bella was alright.
