Bella Pov
Edward comes out Mom's study with a calm look on his face. I can't hold eye contact with him, so I look away, focusing my attention on two fawns playing in the side yard. They skip around and dance in the grass.
" Pack your things. We're leaving." Edward says calmly. I sigh, but don't move. I don't wanna leave Anchorge. This is my home. My sibling go upstairs without looking at me. They must hate me for this. I should've just kept my mouth shut. I look behind me and notice that Edward is still standing there, waiting for me to come. I still don't move. I'm too afraid of what he'll say.
" Bella. Come on." Edward says. I shake my head and burrow my face into my knees. I hear Edward sigh behind me, and before I know it his arms are wrapped around my waist and carrying me up to my bedroom to pack.
" I don't want to leave Edward!" I shout, He sighs and shakes his head down at me. Tears slip down my cheeks as he carries me down the hall. I snuggle my head into my big brother's icy shoulder and continue to cry against him. He rocks me gently in his arms, almost as if to lull me to sleep.
" I know you don't want to leave, Bella. But, we'll all be together, no matter where we wind up, ok sunshine?" He asks, in almost a whisper. I shake my head against his shoulder, refusing to accept that. He sighs and sets me on my bedroom floor.
" Bella, start packing your things. I'll be back in to help you in a minute." Edward orders. I sigh and move to my closet, pulling out one of the large suitcases. Walking over to my dresser, I open my drawers and start taking out my clothes and putting them in my suitcase. Not even five minutes pass, when Edward is back in the room and quickly helps me finish packing.
" Are you feeling ok, Bell?" Edward whispers to me. I nod gently, although I know I'm lying. I am scared to death right now. Where are we going to wind up? What will our new home be like? Will my parents be mad at me? What if someone recognizes me and makes me leave the Cullens behind? I don't want to leave my family, and I definitely don't want them to hate me for this! Aro would have killed me if I said no. I didn't want to die yet!
" Bella, please, please don't blame yourself, and don't ever think that we are mad at you, you did nothing wrong, okay honey?" Edward asks softly. I smile widely and nod. I don't know what I did to deserve this family, but I don't want to leave them either. They're my best friends ever!
I pick up one of my suitcases and practically drag it down the stairs, while Edward helps me carry my other one down. I giggle as he pats my head while he passes me. But before I'm even halfway down the stairs, Dad is picking me up and carrying me downstairs. I let out a burst of laughter as he kisses the top of my head.
" Hello, my little Bella Cullen. And how is my beautiful little girl today, darling?" he asks in a loving tone. I smile up at him, happy to see my father in a good mood. He isn't home very often, and I miss him to death. But I also know that Daddy is doing important work and I understand.
" I am doing well, Daddy, how are you doing?" I reply as cheerfully as I possibly can. He smiles and kisses me again, as he buckles me into my carseat in the back of his car. I smile and he climbs in the drivers seat, with Mommy up front. I look out my window, trying not to let them the terror behind my eyes.
" Bella. You really don't know how proud we are of you. You're so brave, honey." Mom says kindly. I offer her a smile, but we all know that it's super fake. I should've stayed quiet. This is my fault, no matter what they say. At least things can't get worse, from here...right?
