I'm so sorry for not updating this for months! I promise, if anyone wants me to update after this chapter, I will : )
The rest of the afternoon was a blur. After Edward caught me, he carried me back to his car after a few rushed words to another lecturer. I only caught a few, but they were enough to make me gather that he had created a severe illness for me that necessitated an emergency trip to the hospital. The blatant lie would have made me laugh at any other time, but the situation was much too serious for that. I contemplated my fate as Edward strapped me into the car, Alice standing behind him, arms crossed as if daring me to make a run for it. I was resigned to the fact that I was going to have to visit the Cullen house, but that didn't make it any less daunting. Why did they want to speak to me now? They, he, didn't want me then, what had changed now? Maybe they were just curious. After all, I had changed a lot since that time.
I pulled out my mobile to text Jake, knowing he must be worried about me. I was surprised he wasn't outside, trying to find me. Edward's head spun around to face me, and he asked me who I was texting. I don't know how, but I managed to answer him. After all these years, his voice still managed to make me weak at the knees, despite my half vampiristic state. Edward turned back around to face the road, and his face seemed tense, and….jealous? I had managed, over the time spent with him, to read the subtle nuances in his expression, but surely this time I was wrong. He couldn't be jealous of Jake's complex relationship with me, as he didn't care for me at all. This truth was crystallised by his abandonment of me, 5 years ago.
We pulled up at a magnificent white mansion, with a stretching veranda, and rolling hills and flowers surrounding the property. It was amazing, any girls dream home, but it made me anxious. I could see Esme standing inside the door frame, and Alice opened my door. She seemed to be restraining the emotions on her face, but the tension was cleary evident. She then threw caution to the wind, and threw her arms around me in an embrace that, were I still human, would have crushed my bones, but in my new state, only felt a little tight. "Bella I have missed you so much! It's been a terrible few years without you and I'm so glad you are back! I know, Edward, that we aren't supposed to ask her what happened yet but I can't help it. Bella, who changed you? You know we only left because Edward want-"
"Alice, shut up" Edward interrupted harshly, effectively ending Alice's flow of speech. I wondered what she was going to say, but then stopped myself. It would only cause more pain, and was probably something to do with the fact Edward doesn't love me, and never did. "Look Bella, I'm sorry we kidnapped you, but this has come as a great shock to all of us. We thought that-" he paused, " that you would be safe, and then we see you as a vampire! We all have missed you…"
"You've missed me? You've missed me?!" I said, with as much venom as I could muster. I had intended to be calm, but that good intention went out the window when the man I had loved stood there and preached to me about how everyone had missed me. They had abandoned me! They didn't care about me then, and now, when I'm a vampire, they want to renew the acquaintance? "Well I will tell you now, I was far from safe when you all left me. As you can see, I'm now a vampire. So you can screw your apologies." With that, I began running, feeling guilt seep through me as I caught sight of Emmett, Alice, and Esme's stricken faces, and Edward's shock and sadness.
I know Bella seems like a bitch now, but you can understand it. Why can't she see Edward still loves her? Please review and tell me whether I should continue, suggestions on future plot would be appreciated too
