Chapter 6: The White House

The visit to Charlie's took up our entire day. Just as I had planned. Since Charlie had to eat dinner and it would look rude for all of us to pass, well except for Jake, we left. I was both sad and relieved to leave my old house. It was a huge comfort that he knew I was and happy and the same was true for him. At the same time i still felt like he was missing such a huge part of my life and me his. Sorrow was exteremly evident in my mood and little participation in the conversation that was going on around me.

I finally resurfaced when I saw Edward make a right turn onto what looked like a dirt road. "Where are we..." I began, but by then I already knew.

Within the next second the same feeling that had washed over me when I was at Charlie's house hit me again. Only this time it was so much stronger. Seeing the Huge white house through the parting trees was like going back in time. It was like the memories I had just finished repressing. Only this place had so many beginnings instead of ends.

Walking through the door to the main house was like walking back in time. It brought me back to the day I had come after Edward left me. Everything was covered with white sheets. There was dust, intolerable by Alice or Esme. It wasn't my old home. It was empty and dead. Something neither I nor any of the Cullens would be. "I don't really want to look around."

"Scared of ghosts Bella? Jacob joked.

I glared back at him. "No," I growled.

"Why not?" Alice asked.

"It looks the same exact way it did when you left," I said.

Edward's arm tightened around me. "I'll never forgive myself for that."

"Can we please drop the subject?" I pleaded.

"Consider it dropped," Edward assured me.

"Well, I'm still gunna look around," Jake said.

I walked onto the porch with Edward leaving the others in the house. "Hey, I have an idea," I said.

"That would be?"

"I wonder if the cottage stayed the same," I suggested, "That would only remind me of you."

He took the hint and we ran to our first home. The exterior looked exactly the way it had years ago. In the living room the only change was the empty book shelves that stoon amongst the mismached furnichure. Our room was still the way we had left it. There was a layer of dust that covered everything. Not that, that mattered at all in my opinion. The perfect replica of what me live was for those few years I lived as a vampire in Forks. Just as before when I turned to leave I saw Edward standing by the dresser this time.

"Now what do you want to do," I quaried, a line streching across my otherwise perfect face.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the picture and cd he had found in my room. With a quick glance he placed the items on the dresser and turned to face me. "I just wanted leave part of us here."

"So a part of us will be here forever?"

"Exactly."

With that we left to find the others before they came to find us.

I kno people have asked where's Alice and everyone else but I will get to them. So on that account I have 2 words. Please review! Thanks for reading and I'll update soon. Happy Halloween!!!
