Here it is the next chapter! Okay, so someone just brought it to my attention that my chapters are kind of short, I am sorry I have been cheating you! So I promise longer chapters. Thank you for reading and as always I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 6
"So… Bella…" Alex began. "How does it feel to betray your own coven for one that broke your heart and left you long ago. In the forest and did I say ALONE." I gasped and looked toward Edwards pained face.
"Shut up Alex you don't know what you are talking about." I said in a defensive tone. I stood next to Edward and held his hand.
"Oh, but I do. You see Rickey told me all about it. I am only looking out for you Bella. Being my best friend and all I don't want you to get hurt. I'm on your side." She said in a sincere tone.
"You don't need to look out for me. I am not a child. I know what is best for me." I said confident. "And hurting Edward only hurts me more. If you listened to me you would know that they didn't leave to hurt me."
"Oh such a foolish child. You think you know everything. You trust to easily." Alex said. "Again back to my question. How does it feel?"
"I never betrayed you. Do you see me packing up my things and leaving or going against you? I have never gone against you. Never! You just don't understand." I said taking a step in front of Edward. He pulled me back a little, but I was going to stand my ground.
"Bella you know I love you, but Edward hurt you." She looked over at Edward. I looked at his face and his golden eyes looked hurt. "See what you did?" I at once realized what she was doing.
"Stop it! Stop hurting him!"
"I am only showing him what his decisions have done. Mind reading isn't always the best talent to have, is it Edward?" She smiled.
"Leave-" I began, but Edward cut me off.
"No she is right. What I did was horrible and I am sorry for it. I never said I deserved forgiveness, but I am very happy I was forgiven." He said squeezing my hand reassuring me everything was okay. He pulled me behind him a little.
I saw Scarlet descend from the stairs and stood next to Alex. "You are not taking her away from us." She said.
"I never wished to do so." Edward spoke.
"Everyone stop fighting! None understands each other side except for me and Bella here! You are all acting foolish." I heard Rickey's voice come from upstairs and then suddenly he appeared in between the two groups. I loved them both and I was so happy Rickey was here so that everyone could understand. I sighed in relief.
Rickey explained to my coven what was going on. Edward didn't need to hear why they felt the way they did because he could already read their mind. "Is everyone okay now?" Rickey asked when he was done.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean we like it. I may never warm up to you Edward." Alex said. "But I am sorry for making assumptions to both of you." After that Scarlet apologized.
"Where is Brandon? Shouldn't he be home by now?" I Rickey when everyone had settled down. Scarlet was in the kitchen and Alex was sitting in the couch across from us reading a book.
"Yah he got held back at work, but don't worry I already explained everything to him so we don't have to go through that whole act again." He smiled and went upstairs. Just then I heard the door bell ring about five times. I didn't have any idea who that could be because none ever came over to the house and Brandon had a key that he has never once lost.
I looked toward Edward for an answer. "Alice." he said with a smile. "She wants to spend more time with you so she is hear to kidnap us." He laughed. I walked up to the door to let her in.
"Alice! I love you my little psychic! You always know what I need." I beamed a smile at her and hugged her.
"Yah aren't I the best sister ever?" She hugged me back.
"Hey," I heard Jasper's voice coming from behind her. "You just left me in the car that is so not cool." He entered through the door and gave me a hug and I was so happy that he was able to forgive himself for almost attacking me five years ago because I had long ago forgave him.
"You know I would never mean to do that." Alice smiled up as Jasper who now had his arm around her.
"Ah-hem." I heard someone clear their throat from behind us. I turned around and saw Scarlet. "Sorry to interrupt, but it seems Bella is being a little rude for not introducing me." She smiled. I was so happy that she wasn't angry anymore.
"Oh I am sorry. I guess I am being a little rude. Well this is Alice and Jasper." I said pointing to them.
"Ahhh yes I remember you. So did I hear you say psychic or am I hearing wrong?" She sounded excited.
"Yes you heard correctly. I can see the future!" Alice beamed. She then patted Jaspers back "And my husband here possesses a talent also." She said proudly.
"And what might that be?" Scarlet asked.
"I can control and feel everyone's emotions" Jasper spoke.
"How interesting… can you make a vampire feel sleepy?" Scarlet asked. That was a good question I had never thought of that.
Suddenly I felt like I had to sit down. My legs felt a bit wobbly like I could fall. This was a bit odd of a feeling. "Uh yah Jasper you want to stop now? I really don't like that feeling." He just laughed and I suddenly got all my strength back. Nice and sturdy. "Thanks."
"No problem." He smiled. "So the answer would be yes, but not that sleepy that they would pass out."
"Well I think that we were going to go somewhere guys. I want to see my mommy and daddy again." I whined jokingly.
"Aw you poor baby." Alice cried. Next thing I knew my legs were swept up from under me and Alice was carrying me. She then started cooing at me. "Its okay. We will get you there don't worry."
"Really Alice really?" I said with a questioning look on my face.
"Fine." She put me down.
"Thank you." I said and walked over to Edward and intertwined our fingers.
We walked outside and found Emmett's jeep in the driveway. We all climbed in. Alice and Jasper in the front and Edward and me in the back. Alice was driving and it was pretty hysterical seeing her behind the wheel of this big Jeep.
"Alice can you turn on the radio please?" I asked her and told her the station. "Thanks."
Pinks song Who Knew came on and this was one of my favorite songs because it really expressed the feelings I was feeling when Edward left. So I started sing along when she started singing and apparently so did Alice because she was practically shouting the lyrics.
You took my handYou showed me howYou promised me you'd be aroundUh huhThat's rightI took your wordsAnd I believedIn everythingYou said to meYeah huhThat's rightIf someone said three years from nowYou'd be long goneI'd stand up and punch them outCause they're all wrongI know betterCause you said foreverAnd everWho knewRemember when we were such foolsAnd so convinced and just too coolOh noNo noI wish I could touch you againI wish I could still call you friendI'd give anythingWhen someone said count your blessings now'fore they're long goneI guess I just didn't know howI was all wrongThey knew betterStill you said foreverAnd everWho knewYeah yeahI'll keep you locked in my headUntil we meet againUntil weUntil we meet againAnd I won't forget you my friendWhat happenedIf someone said three years from nowYou'd be long goneI'd stand up and punch them outCause they're all wrong andThat last kissI'll cherishUntil we meet againAnd time makesIt harderI wish I could rememberBut I keepYour memoryYou visit me in my sleepMy darlingWho knewMy darlingMy darlingWho knewMy darlingI miss youMy darlingWho knewWho knew
As the song ended me and Alice were cracking up because her voice was so off. "Alice I think you could win American Idol with a voice like that." Jasper barley choked out he was laughing so hard.
"You think so?" Alice asked.
"Oh, I know so." Jasper said and it brought on a knew round of laughter, but Edward wasn't joining in. I turned around to look at him, but he wouldn't let me look him in the eye. When we got out of the car he would tell me what was wrong.
We were all joking around and Edward seemed to come out of his weird mood after five minutes or so. I guess he had gas? Wow Bella you must be really stupid, vampires can't get gas! I laughed at myself and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. "Sorry just a thought, just a thought." my laughing started to come to a stop. I gasped as we came up to their house. It was beautiful. There were o many colorful flowers surrounding it. It was like a fairytale or a dream. It was red brick with an old and classy look to it, it is hard to describe.
We got in the driveway and before the car even stopped I jumped out and ran to the door. I heard someone running behind me. I looked back and of course there was Edward. I smiled at him feeling so happy and when I turned back around I ran into something hard and fell to the ground. I looked up from where I was laying and there in front of me was Emmett.
"Bella!" He yelled and picked me up and hugged me. "Gosh you are really clumsy for a vampire." He chuckled.
"Yah yah. Sorry can't talk right now. I must find Carlisle and Esme." I ran through the door this time watching where I was going. Luckily I didn't have to look to hard because right in the living room where Carlisle and Esme. As soon as I saw them I tackled them to the ground and hugged them both.
"Oh my gosh! I have missed you to so much!" I shouted. They seemed surprised at first, but then composed themselves and hugged me back.
"Yah she was practically whining for both of you." Alice said from the door. I stuck my tongue out at her and she stuck her tongue out back. Ahhh… together as a family once again.
"I have to go Edward." I laughed. Edward was holding me in his arms outside his house on the porch.
"No you don't. You're my Bella now. They will have to fight me to get to you." I was still struggling in his arms.
"Its not that I want to go Edward. Its because of the little show we put on today I don't want them to think that I don't wan to be around them anymore. Plus we are going hunting tonight. We always go together on Monday nights." I turned to face him and gave him a peck on the lips and looked into his beautiful golden eyes. "I will see you tomorrow."
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you to." I whispered back.
"Are you sure you want to run home I could drive I have no problem with it." He suggested. This was about the hundredth time he has suggested.
"I am sure. We have been standing out here for an hour when I was suppose to leave. Goodnight Edward I will miss you." I said. Edward kissed me again this time longer and I was off.
By the time I got to my house it was ten thirty and everyone was on the couch waiting for me so we could all go hunting.
"Finally!" I heard Brandon shout.
"Sorry guys. I got kind of… held up." I apologized.
"That's okay. At least you are here now so lets get this show on the road." Brandon said. "This time we are splitting up guys and girls so there aren't so many of us in on area." After he showed me the plan Alex, Scarlet and I linked arms.
We finished hunting and as soon as I was about to run home Alex and Scarlet stopped me. "Wait. Scarlet and I want to talk to you really quick." Alex said.
"Oh okay. So what's up?" I asked surprised. I sat down on the ground next to them.
"Well the thing Bella is that we just want to understand you and ask you a few questions. Don't feel pressured to answer them right away or answer them at all." Scarlet began, "You aren't happy hear." That wasn't a question.
"That isn't true I am to." I said, but my voice didn't sound to convincing.
"Bella don't lie to us we know you were never happy living with us."
"Now that is the completely off of why I wasn't happy. I loved being here around people who cared fo r me, but being here isn't what made me unhappy. When I was human I was with Edward. He was my life and still is. When he left nothing made me happy at all. It wasn't anyone's fault not even Edward's. He just wanted me to have a happy normal human life, but that isn't what I was meant for. He also left to protect me which obviously did not help because look at me." I motioned towards my body. "This was not on purpose. You see when Edward and me were apart it nearly killed us both. There is no exaggeration there. I was about to go to the Voltouri and show them 'Hey I know about humans, but I am not going to tell you how!' kind of thing. My life means nothing without Edward." I tried to explain not exactly sure if I was getting my point across.
"Yes, but with him back you seem so much better, but I still have not seen a change in how you react when you walk into the house. Like something isn't right." Alex said. "Why is that?"
"I guess I just don't feel like I fit in. If we are being completely honest here I don't think of you as family and I am sure that you don't see me as your little sister. We have a weird relationship. I feel like all we are is… really good friends, but when I am with the Cullen's I feel like family. There I have a mom and dad and siblings. Yes we don't always get along, but that is what makes us family. I believe that I can do anything with them by my side. When I am here I feel like I am surrounded by great people that I care about. Its not like family though you know what I am saying? Like that person you talk to all the time that you really aren't that close to. I don't know it is weird." I finished.
They nodded their hands like they understood. "We feel the same way. We know that you are only really close to Rickey, but its okay. I felt like I have met an amazing person really I truly do. It has been great having you around." Scarlet said.
"I could say the same." I smiled. We all hugged and walked home hand in hand. Wow this was a long day.
