SORRY FOR TAKING ALL DAY! but here it is.
BPOV
Before I could even comprehend what was going on, I was being carried into the kitchen by a very happy and tiny vampire. The second my but touched the chair. In came five vampires that were not the Sharp's.
"Bella my name is Esme, how are you my dear?" her voice was full of compassion and her tone was mothering, it made me feel at ease. She reminded me of my mother.
My mother… tears ran silently down my face. Reality had just hit me. I would have to call Renee. I would have to tell her that Charlie died. Then she would force me to move back with her. I would have to leave Zaden, Raina, Skyler, Tory, Autumn, Adrian, Dusk, Warren and Lily. Pain wrenched through me as I thought of there names. Lily, she could use her power of persuasion! But what if they don't want me here? What if they say I would be better off in Jacksonville with Renee and Phil. Panic swept through me and it forced my silent sobs into full-fledged bawling.
Alice hugged me tightly and stroked my hair delicately. I heard her whisper something so low that only a vampire would hear. Suddenly a wave of calm over came me, and my tears faded.
What had just happened? I pushed off of Alice's shoulder and looked at the faces of the vampires that were watching me till my eyes landed on jasper. His face looked pained like he was about to cry. His expression was mirroring my own just as it was a few seconds ago. Slowly it faded to calm and I looked bewildered at the Cullen's
"Bella this is Jasper his gift is that he is an empath. He can sense others emotions and cover up a persons emotions; as he had just demonstrated. And I am Carslie and this is my wife Esme. And over here is Rosalie and her mate Emmet."
"Hello." I managed to croak out. Emmet had a friendly smile on his face. But as swiftly as it came, it vanished when Rosalie jabbed her elbow into Emmet's side before glaring at me.
They all left Alice and I alone soon after to join the Sharp's in the living room.
We stayed in silence for quite a while until Alice finished the pancakes. She placed the plate in front of me and sat in a chair on the other side of the table. She just stared at me, watching me eat like she was studying something.
"What?" I asked my voice trembling now that the calmness from Jasper had disintegrated. She closed her eyes momentarily and when she opened them a weak smile spread across her face. She stood up and walked over to the cordless phone and handed it to me.
"You don't have to worry. Just stay firm on your decision to stay and she will cave."
I gaped at her incredulously. If my jaw could have extended to hit the table it would have.
"You can read minds too?"
She laughed. Her laugh was sweet, appealing, and friendly. It put me at ease just hearing her voice.
"No, just the future as long as you made a decision I could see it. You chose to call her then not to call her. Edward's a mind reader though." She added in looking at my deviously from the corner of her eye, a devilish smirk spreading over her face.
"Oh I see, oh-!" Fear struck me. Edward could read my thoughts? He knew what I thought of him, how beautiful I thought he was. My red crept up my neck and embedded its self upon my face. My brown eyes widened and I imagined my self to look a lot like a deer caught in headlights. I swallowed hard on a piece of pancake only to momentarily choke. Alice just laughed and danced over to me patting my back lightly. Her movements were swift and graceful like a gazelle.
"Don't worry Bella, for some reason he cant read your thought's. It's been driving him crazy trying to figure out the mystery that is Isabella Swan. It's been keeping me up all night too." I gave her a look that made her giggle. As if keeping her up all night, vampires don't sleep, if anything I gave her something to do.
"Are you sure your not a mind reader?" I asked raising my eyebrow and taking another bite of my pancake.
"I'm sure."
I dialed Renee's number reluctantly. With each ring, my heartbeat sped up and I felt myself shaking.
"Hello?" my mother's voice rang.
"Hello?" my voice was caught in my throat.
"Hello is any one there?"
"Y-Yea mom it's me."
"Bella! You haven't e-mailed me in a while I was starting to get nervous. What's wrong? You sound upset. Honey?"
"Mom I have something to tell you."
"What is it Bella?"
"Charlie-" a squeak escaped as I choked back tears. "Charlie is d-dead mom."
"What?" my mother exclaimed shock flooded through the receiver as I dropped my head in my hands.
"He went Ice fishing in Alaska over Spring Break. Billy told me what happened."
"Oh my God." she was crying almost hysterically into the phone for a few minutes until she collected her self enough to speak.
"Phil and I will be there to get you in a few hours. Don't worry honey we will bring you home."
"No mom I don't want to go home."
"What?" her voice sounded almost angry now
"I like my school and my friend's. I don't want to leave. I have a friend's house that said I could stay with them as long as I wanted."
"No Bella this is ridiculous I'm going to bring you home."
"Mom, please; for me. I don't want to go. You know as well as I that I have never asked you for anything. With Phil's new career you will be traveling with him lots and I don't want to have to pack up and switch schools every time he has a new job. That's why I came to live with Ch-Charlie in the first place."
I waited in silence for about five minutes. The only reason I could tell Renee was still on the phone was I could hear her sobs in the background.
"I- I will respect your decision. Pass the line to one of the parents I would like to speak with them." I turned around to find Lily to give her the phone but Carslie was already snatching the phone from me.
"Hello Mrs. Swan? Hello my name is Dr. Carslie Cullen. Yes. Well there are two places she can stay. My wife and I have a home for her and also Warren and Dr. Lily Sharp have room as well. She will be under great supervision I can assure you. No you don't have to worry about a thing Mrs. Swan money is not a problem. I know you don't mean to impose- no, no don't worry we all love Bella and she is a joy to have around. Well if this is what she wants we would be happy to have her as long as she wants. I understand, yes, yes, thank you very much Mrs. Swan and I am terribly sorry about your loss. Yes Take care now. Good Bye." He handed the phone back to me covering the receiver and whispered something in my ear.
"Mom? Yea I will be fine, I'm just a little emotionally drained is all." I looked at Carslie as I told my mother what he told me to say. "No they never found the body. No Charlie didn't want a funeral. Don't worry everything will be all right and so will I. Okay, I love you too. Bye."
As soon as I heard the dial tone I dropped my arm to the side and stared blankly across the room.
"Are you sure it's alright?" I asked flatly, turning around only to see everyone but Zaden.
"Of course it is Bella! Your family, even to the Cullen's." Lily said wrapping her arms around me. I looked over to Carslie and Esme.
"Really?" Esme nodded as she dry sobbed slightly and then ran up to me and hugged me along with Lily.
"Where's Zaden?" I asked suddenly.
"Bella I am truly sorry, Zaden and I had a little bit of an argument after you came downstairs and he left shortly after that." Edward spoke up. His voice was solemn but I detected a hint of happiness. Why I didn't know. His gaze kept mine for a wile when I felt a hand wipe away some stray tears. I turned to come face to face with Raina.
"Edward I think Bella need's some fresh air. Why don't you take her out for a bit." I looked at Raina, quite stunned but she gave me a wink.
"Come on Bella, I know exactly where to go." Quickly he lifted me up onto his back and ran towards the door. I nuzzled my face in the crook of his neck. No matter how many time's I do this I always feel woozy. I breathed in and caught a whiff of his magnificent scent, and suddenly the run didn't seem nearly as nauseating.
When we stopped I heard a familiar sound of a river and birds chirping. I opened my eyes as Edward slid me off him and to the floor. My knees buckled and I landed onto soft grass and Edward let out a sigh of amusement.
"Dear, Dear Bella. What are we to do with you?" he whispered into my ear as he saw down beside me. His breath danced across my neck causing an involuntary shiver.
"Build me a bubble and keep me in there for all of eternity." I joked. But when I said eternity he stiffened and moved slightly away.
"What's wrong?"
"Do- do you want this life." His voice held a slight tremble that made my heart ache.
"I have for a while, I just never had a real reason to, I never asked."
"Why?"
"Why haven't I asked?"
"No why would you want this? Why would you want to live where you can't eat, you can't sleep. Years seem like days to us. You have to curb yourself from letting the monster inside of you control you because of your blood lust. You can't go out into the sun. Your damned to eternal darkness." Edward was up now, pacing as he rambled off his thoughts. His button up shirt was unbuttoned half way to reveal his sculpted chest. Sun shot through the trees and danced on his skin. Diamonds shone of him and I breathed in awe and desire. I have seen vampires in the sun; but none of them could measure up to how Magnificent and God like Edward looked as his skin glistened.
I got up and walked over to him, a newfound confidence urged me to place my hand on his arm in a calming notion.
"To be with the people I cared about most, to be with the people I love forever." Edward turned his Golden eyes were sad and bore into mine. Suddenly I was aware of the proximity between us. He inched his face slightly to mine, and when I didn't pull away, he inched closer.
"Bella." The word was like a kiss. "Bella." The word became a kiss.
A/N: I just had to insert some of Kissed by an Angel by Elizabeth Chandler in there (last line). If you haven't red it I suggest you go buy it. It is three books long I have a collector's addition so the books are all in one. It's a romantic Thriller. I have read it like five times.
Sorry for updating so late but I had a little bit of a writer's block and instead I came up with how the rest of the chapters are going to go. Ill try to write a couple more tonight.
Big thanks to DarkOne29, TwilightsVampyre, and jellybeans4u5150. They review so much it keeps making me want to write more to please them even though I would still like more reviews I am happy.
P.S. how many of you are pissed that I didn't expand on the kiss?
I know I am! Next chapter is a flash back in a villains point of view. Bet you can guess who!
