Bella's POV:

"Miss Swan, we're here," a deep voice woke me. I opened my eyes to see the sun rising outside of my window. I sleepily stood and followed my security guards off the plane.

"You've got a book signing at nine, but you have to meet Macy at 7:30," my P.A, Sarah, told me. Macy was my own personal beauty therapist. I didn't see why I needed to get all dressed up for a book signing, but apparently image was important.

All of my luggage was packed into the boot of a limo. Again, I didn't see why I needed a limo to simply drive through town.

As we drove around I watched the scenery out of my window. The hot, dry deserts of Arizona surrounded me. I was comforted by the familiar sights. This part of my book signing tour was especially nice because I was in Jacksonville, which would give me a chance to visit Renee and Phil, but there was a part of me that longed for the green, cloud covered Forks; my home.

We arrived at a hotel and I sat through an hour of Macy poking and prodding at me, fixing all of my flaws and blemishes. Macy was sweet, making easy chatter with me about inconsequential things, but I still didn't enjoy being fussed over. It also reminded me of when Alice would play 'Bella Barbie'.

I still tried not to think about them too much, but it was a futile attempt when I always had people coming up to me in the street telling me how much they loved my book. Heaps of people complained that the 'story' was too depressing, that there should have been a happy ending. What they don't realize is this is actually my story, and I don't get a happy ending.

I did appreciate everything I had here and I was flattered that so many people had taken a liking to my book; I had never seen myself as a fantastic writer. I did enjoy travelling and the easy life I lived, but I would give all of that away without a second thought if I could have him back. He was my life, my world and I would give anything and everything up just to be able to see him once more.

I mentally scolded myself; I needed to stop thinking like that. They obviously weren't coming back, and I just needed to accept that fact and move on, but that was easier said than done.

"It's time to go Miss Swan," Sarah said, pulling me from my thoughts.

"Bella," I corrected. I had told them a thousand times to call me Bella. I wasn't even 20 yet, 'Miss Swan' sounded so formal and made it feel like I was above everyone else and I hated it.

I followed them out and groaned when I got outside. A blanket of clouds had covered the sky and sun. Just my luck; the one time I get to come to sunny Jacksonville, and it's cloudy!

I got into another limo and we drove to the library. As I stepped out of the car I saw a line of people starting from inside the building and stretching all the way down the block. Today was going to be a very long day.

A couple of security guards surrounded me and walked me into the library. I always had someone with me these days, it was annoying.

I didn't have to do very much at book signings, just sit smile and sign books. I still got embarrassed being in the spotlight and was awkward meeting new people.

Hours later, after signing hundreds of books, I finally got back into the car and headed for the hotel for the night. I was seeing Renee tomorrow morning and then I would fly off in the evening. My life was so busy at the moment, it was like I was living on fast-forward and everything was just flying past without giving me a real chance to take it all in. It was surreal.

My hand felt like I would never be able to use it again, it reminded me of the time I helped Angela with her graduation announcements. I smiled at the memory.

I stretched as I got out of the limo, ready for an early night. For some reason, sitting around talking to people all day always exhausted me.

I was about to enter the hotel when someone stopped me.

"Bella?" I heard the most familiar, musical, beautiful voice in the world call. I spun around, unable to believe my ears. There they stood, in all of their amazing glory, the seven people I thought I'd never see again; the Cullens.

We stood staring at each other for a long, silent, tense moment.

"Do you want us to get rid of them, Miss Swan?" a security guard asked.

"Bella," I corrected out of habit.

"Can we talk to you?" Edward asked. It was funny how it didn't hurt to think his name anymore now that he was here. I still couldn't believe it; they were here! I couldn't think of any reason why they would be here, but I was ecstatic and worried and hurt at the same time, what if they left again? After a minute of consideration I answered.

"They're with me," I told security and motioned for them to follow me inside. When I got to my room I turned to Sarah.

"I would like a minute alone, please."

"Alright, goodnight Miss Swan," she said.

"Bella," I sighed, rolling my eyes. I closed the door once they were all inside.

Haha mini-cliffy. Don't be angry at me, I've never done that before, there's a first time for everything :) I don't really think authors have security guards or constantly ride in limos, but in my story they do :) What will happen next? Hint: More reviews=faster update :D
