~~~~~Chapter 6: Fresh Start ~~~~~~
Sorry guys that was a long chapter of fluff! Anyways I hope you are enjoying! Thanks for adding the story to your favorites/track list. I love it when you guys show me you like my stuff, it helps me write Anyways, getting close to the ending here. I have a few ideas on some new stories that are Twilight related so please stick around if you like my work.
I'm still not Stephanie Meyer, so all the characters and stuff belong to her still.
Jasper just stared at us.
"Carlisle was worried sick about you Emmett. How dare you worry him like that? Bella, the family is having a meeting and we need everyone's input. Come on its time to go home." Alice was scolding us.
The run home felt slow, even at our speed. I didn't wan to go back to the house, I wanted to stay in the mountain with Emmett forever. Maybe if we were there long enough it would erase all of the images that were in my head. Damn vampire memory. I remembered it like it happened yesterday and it was almost six months ago.
When we got back to the house Carlisle and Esme were sitting on the couch, Nessie and Jake were standing next to them. I ran to Nessie and hugged her.
"ooof, mom, you have to remember that you're still stronger than me."
I was so glad to have a piece of Edward here with me still, and I was willing to protect her even of it cost me my own life, not that I hadn't showed that before but she was the only thing I had left of Edward.
Emmett looked on jealously, I'm sure he was wishing he had someone that he could hold onto like I had Nessie.
Carlisle cleared his throat and I begrudgingly let Nessie go.
"After everything that has happened the last few months and the fact that we haven't aged at all in the last 15 years Esme and I have decided that we need to move again."
My heart sunk.
"NO." I objected, I looked at Emmett who was just staring at Carlisle.
"Forks is the only place that I've been with Edward in other than Isle Esme and I'm not leaving all of the memories."
"You won't have to Isabella, you will always have the memories. Trust me, it's hard for me too but people are starting to get suspicious. I don't look like I'm in my 50s."
I nodded. He was right and I still look like I'm 18 and I'm already 33.
"Well what about Alaska?" Alice suggested "It would be nice to live close to Tanya, Kate, Eleazar, Carmen and Garrett."
"But don't you think that after what happened with Nessie and Irina that Tanya and Kate wouldn't like seeing Nessie there all the time to remind them of their loss?"
"She has a point" Carlisle looked at Esme.
"Um mom," Nessie cleared her throat "I kind of wanted to stay in Forks with Jake. I was thinking about moving in with him and Billy if you guys left Washington."
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" I had already lost Edward, I wasn't about to leave the only other piece of him that was left in my life.
"Jake, do you really think that you are ready to move in with Renesmee?"
"Bells, really? You are acting like you are my mother. And yes, I am ready to move in with Nessie, but wherever she wants to go I will go."
"Really, so you would leave Billy to fend for himself?"
Jake winced as though I had physically hurt him.
"I'm sorry, that was rude of me but you are his primary caretaker."
"Sue was actually going to take care of him. If Nessie and I were to move out. We were going to move somewhere on the res or something."
I wasn't in the mood to multi-task, these were both very big decisions that needed my undivided attention so I wanted to handle them both separately.
"We will talk about this later"
Jake scoffed under his breath.
"What about the Midwest? Or New York? I hear it's pretty gloomy around there most of the time. It may be a good place to go." Jasper added.
"Yes but it is very difficult to hide ourselves in the summer sun. Edward and I learned that the hard way when we were in Chicago and the Volturi had to step in." Carlisle knocked his idea down.
"What about Los Angeles?" I asked. I had never been and it seemed like a good place to go, filled with beautiful people, easy to blend into the crowd. I noticed Esme perk up when I said Los Angeles. It is every midwestern girl's dream to go to Hollywood and become a star.
"Yeah, and there are lots of forests out there that we can hunt in. And it's really close to Oregon." Emmett was trying to help me.
"Actually Emmett, Los Angeles is at the very bottom of California, you would have to run across California to get to Oregon." I corrected him. He looked a little disappointed.
"Still sounds promising" Carlisle spoke up to cheer him up.
"How about we go, Bella and I, to see if there are any other vampires over there that wouldn't like us in their territory or anything that could prevent us from moving down there."
I looked at him like he was crazy. I knew that I hadn't really traveled much in my life, but go to Los Angeles without the family? Leave Forks when I needed to be here the most?
"That's a great idea Emmett, a little change of scenery may cheer up the both of you." Alice smiled.
"Perfect" Esme smiled and grabbed her laptop "I will book you guys the tickets, 7:30 am tomorrow or something around then will work out great."
Emmett looked at me and grinned.
My stomach dropped.
What the hell was I just talked into?
