I looked confused at the invitation that had arrived a week ago in the mail, confused on how it was suddenly here in front of me, instead of the draw which I hid it in the day it arrived, still not really knowing how to feel and not ready to process any of it, I carefully picked it up, flashbacks of mine and Bella's birthday flashing through my mind,

Isabella Marie Swan

And

Edward Anthony Masen Cullen

Invite you to celebrate their marriage

I sighed again and placed it back down on the kitchen worktop,

"Iz? I found it in the draw, you haven't sent it off yet? Alice will be waiting for it, although I'm sure she knows your going" Mom said as she placed things away in the kitchen, I frowned a little,

"mom, I don't think I have a choice do I? although I still don't agree with it" I said as I sat at one of the island counters,

"Izadora Mary Swan, she is your twin sister, no matter what has happened between you and the Cullens, this is your sisters decision to spend her life with Edward and you have to respect that" mom said as she turned and looked at me,

"I know and I'm sorry I will send the reply off today" I said, realising there was no point in arguing with my mom, she didn't know the full story and never would,

"good, and you never know maybe you should go a bit before and spend some time with your dad, he was devastated when you just upped and left and moved back here" mom said trying to make it sound casual, my mind quickly flashed back to me frantically packing my things and leaving without a single word to my dad,

"I know what I did was wrong, but I'm not like Bella, I couldn't just forgive and forget" I tried explaining the best I could,

"But did that really mean abandoning your father? He was already sick with worry from Bella disappearing to Italy, then he gets home to find you gone, all your things packed up and just a note saying sorry, Izadora me and your dad raised you better than that, and I know you think I'm getting on at you, but I have left it due to your dad not wanting me to cause issues, but Iz you need to start fixing relationships, starting with your dad" mom said as she stood across from me, I knew from her tone of voice she meant what she said,

"I know mom, I'll think about it" I said glancing down feeling ashamed of myself that I had let the fear of seeing the Cullens and having to figure out what that meant for me that I abandoned my friends, Bella and worse my father and run away back to Jacksonville,

"well, no Izadora don't freak out, but me, Phil and Bella have been talking about the situation and well. . . just look" mom said sheepishly, she pulled something out of the draw and slid it over the counter towards me,

I grabbed it confused before reading it and felt my stomach drop, I looked back up at mom,

"Now Iz, don't panic, Bella has sorted everything out, she has set your room up at your dads, said to your father that it was your idea to go early, to see him and help with the wedding, the ticket was exchanged from the birthday gift Esme and Carlise had given you for your birthday, Phil is going to drop you off at the airport tomorrow evening" mom said with a guilty look of her face, I sat there shocked not really believing that this was happening, after a few moments, I felt the anger rising and before I could stop myself

"what!? How dare you all! You haven't a clue of why I left and you think making me go back is your decision!" I screamed as I threw my chair back and stood up,

"I thought you were on my side for once" I whispered and walked towards my room,

"Iz, I'm always on your side, but you need to stop running and face the memories, otherwise they will only continue to drown you" I heard my mother say as I reached my door, I quickly wiped a tear and locked myself in my room sliding down the bedroom door.
