Did you ever have that moment, where it seemed as if time itself stopped. Your heart paused, as if it too was unsure of what was going on?

Standing there in the living with all the Cullen's felt like that. I was unsure of every emotion rushing through my body. Happiness that I had my family back, Or fear? Fear of why I had them back.

They we're all talking fast, faster then I could understand. I noticed Emmett standing quietly too the side with Rose next to him. Nothing had changed there, I would be a fool to think so. I looked towards Edward who had Carlisle in a deep conversation with Esme by his Side. Alice and Jasper kept stealing glances at me, then would say something to Edward.

I felt as if I was an outsider to whatever plan they would go with. I hated that, how this was about me, yet I was no where involved in the conversation, no where involved in the solution.

"I'm still in the room" Everything went quiet. "Whatever the plan is, whatever is going on here. I need to know, I have a right to know!" I looked at Edward as I said this.

"Edward refuses to tell me anything. I know that it's pretty big if all of you guys came here to protect me" I gave a pointed look to Emmett and Rose and quickly back to Edward.

Everyone was quiet so I spoke again. "I need to know whats going on"

"She's right. She' needs to know-" the last person I expected to talk, Rose. "Our family sticks together. So when Edward told us that he thought someone, a group of vampires where after you. We all came here. Isabella, It takes a lot for us to leave the ones we truly love-" I couldn't help but wonder if there was a double meaning behind that statement " Edward needs our help. That is why we are here."

Edward looked at her frowning. I could only imagine what she was thinking about. I turned my attention back to Edward. "What group?"

Once again it was Rose that spoke.

"You should know Isabella. Your boyfriend... What was his name again? Trevor, was it? His family is very angry at the fact you got him killed."

Trevor? My heart started racing. I had gotten him killed, Rose was right. I tried hard to not think about him, It only caused me a flood of emotions from anger to fear all the way to sadness. He gave up his life to save mine.

Flashback

"Why are you here?" his voice was hard. "I'm trying to save you." I said back to him with the same hardness in my voice. He glanced at me with anger in his eyes. "You shouldn't be here Izzy. You should stay far away from this place."

"Yeah well sorry, I figured I could help you." I crossed my arms over my chest feeling like an idiot.

"It's too late for me to be helped" as he said this, a tear slipped down my cheek. "Isn't there any way? Can't you just leave? I mean there isn't anyone guarding you, the door wasn't even locked!" maybe he could just walk out of here or jump out the window.

"Izzy a lock can't keep a vampire in or out. Guards are almost as pointless, they have ways to make their prisoners stay without them. Even if I could make it out of this castle hell, even this room it would take a miracle. They have ways to find me." He sounded so defeated, so lost I couldn't help but walk over to him.

"I'm sorry" I whisper looking into his eyes. He put his arms around me. "I'm sorry too. How are you feeling?" he pulled back looking into my eyes. "Like crap." I mumbled. He chuckled at me, causing me to glare at him. This wasn't a time to be laughing.

"Do you regret saving me?" his laughing stopped immediately, he took me into his arms once again. "God no, saving you was the best thing I ever did. Even if I knew this was going to happen, I would do it again. You are far too important to me to ever let you die."

He ended his life to save mine, yet I would be dead anyways.

"I thought the Volturi... I thought they were dead?" my voice was confused, had I imagined that they would take care of Trevor's family?

"There was more then what even the Volturi thought."

The Volturi knew the Cullen's were here, Thats why Edward moved here. Everything clicked right in place. The Volturi knew he was here, the told him to come here. What else had they told him?

"Isabel" I looked up into Edwards worried eyes. "are you alright?"

"You should have told me from the start Edward!"
"I know-"
"No. You don't know. You do what you want to protect me, I get that. I do. But stop acting like i'm some child."

"Okay" his answer was one word. One honest word, but really did I believe him?

(next morning)

"psst. Wake up!" I tried opened my eyes, it failed. What the hell is going on! Couldn't he see I was sleeping "hmmm?" I asked rolling over on my side "Wake up"

"Dean leave me alone. I'm trying to sleep" wait... DEAN! I Opened my eyes again. "DEAN!" my voice was still held it's tiredness, but it was more awake. "What are you doing here!"

His smile was big and warm "I came back! I couldn't really leave you could I?" I gave him my best smile. I knew he was my friend and he wanted me safe, but with Taylor in the picture would he stay? Could I even ask him that? Was I worried that maybe now everything would be different?

"Get up Sleepy head. Food is almost done!" on that cue my stomach rumbled. I rolled out of bed, not caring out getting dressed, I threw my hair in a sloppy ponytail. Who was I trying to impress anyways?

I walked out behind Dean surprised to find Taylor there talking to Alice about some new fashion. Was I dreaming?

Taylor looked up and smiled "Hey girl!" I gave her a smile it froze on my face with her next words "Can you believe a VAMPIRE is making us breakfast!" I gave questioning look to Edward who sighed and shook his head.

"ummm." that was my smart reply. I honestly must be having some bizarre dream. I looked around and saw nothing else that ordinary. Did I hear her right? Jasper and Emmet were on the couch watching the news. Esme was sitting on the love seat next to Carlisle both reading a book. Rose was sitting next to Alice who was at the counter sitting next to Taylor. Nope, none of them seem to care. I must be dreaming.

"Dean told her" Edward voice was nothing but polite, still you heard the tension behind it. "She is after all his imprint"

ahhh. Thats how she can know.

"Your okay with all this?" It was mostly directed towards Edward but Taylor answered. "Oh yeah! I always knew there was other.. well I just knew we weren't alone!" I nodded my head. "Anyways. Dean came to my place last night and told me about what happed! I felt horrible, I know how you guys are close! So we came back this morning" we, not him but we. Again I nodded my head.

"I explained to Edward how my ex was scaring me. I needed Dean there, but if I knew you needed him too I wouldn't have made him stay!"

"I didn't need him here, I was fine by myself!"
"Then why weren't you by yourself" I glared at Rose, was she really doing this!

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot Dean couldn't tell me who was here. So who was he" my eyes glanced towards Emmett. "Aidan he-"

"Your kidding right? Aidan as in the hottie Irish guy that has all the girls on campus drooling after him?" I was confused.. " I can't believe you we're caught kissing Aidan! Was it good? Was it magically delicious?"

If I wasn't already looking at Emmett I wouldn't have noticed how he held his breath. Why should he care?

"I don't know if this is a good time to talk about..."

"Ohhh." She looked over her shoulder and nodded her head.

Today was going to be one long day.
