Chapter 8

Bella POV

"Come on Edward, we need to finish our shopping, were leaving for Forks tomorrow!" I shouted
I walked over to see Edward still playing video games with Emmett. I called Rosalie who was in the room within seconds. Emmett didn't listen to her either so she walked down to the oversized basement, which was filled with antique paintings worth fortunes, and turned the power off for that room. I started to laugh along with Rosalie. We could hear them moaning upstairs. I walked upstairs slowly, still fearing I would fall in my heels even though it would be vampirly impossible. Edward waited for my arrival and put his arm around my waist. To this casual shopping occasion, I wore a white strapless lace dress, a brown leather jacket. My shoes were the staple piece of this outfit, there were nude strappy wedges. It was freezing outside, so Esme recommended me to wear some tights.

We got into Edwards Volvo and drove off onto the highway following the crowds of cars cluttering the highway. I guess everyones out shopping for the holidays. Christmas was only a couple of days away anyway. Everyone was panicking since the mansion wasn't ready for christmas. No one had packed for the 7 hour flight to Forks for a couple of days. Alice was upset because she needed to buy something even though she had everything out there. And Esme and the rest of the family were decorating the house while Carlisle was in his office writing Christmas cards in his perfect calligraphy handwriting; and wrapping gifts for family and friends. We were planning on going back to university after the christmas break so we were going to get a lot of family time in the brief time we have together.

We pulled into the small parking lot outside the cozy mall. It wasn't big but was more of a designer broad walk type thing. We walked quickly into the mall attempting to ignore the stares we got from bystanders. It was hard but I could feel it made Edward feel uneasy. We bought presents and some christmas outfits or christmas onesies and jumpers.

Next day

In 10 mins our plane was going to take off, all my family members were on the plane with there mates. And I was to, unfortunately, we had three seats which meant one of us had to sit next to a stranger. And that person was me, it was a 25 year old man. He wasn't the most attractive person and was nothing compared to my Edward. The arm rest between us, I kept it down to keep distance between us. But i literally kept a yard between us. But there wasn't that much space. So I was still pretty close to him.
"Hey pretty lady.." The odd man said with a perverted smile, Edward was about to kill him but thanks to Jasper he didn't.
"Excuse me?" I said
"Lets meet up for dinner in seattle?" He asked
"Honey, I think were going to be having dinner at our MANSION and at Charlies?" Edward interrupted
"Whose charlie?" The odd man questioned
"My father in law and Bella's father.." Edward answered
"Oh , so your married to this wonderful girl?" He asked
"Yes he's married to me, for about six months now." I smiled, the man didn't seem tooo bad
We were engaged into conversation with the man, and we figured out his name was Mike Stewart, he was a rich bachelor who was finding a girl to marry and settle down with.

We arrived in Forks and who knew it was snowing. Well more of a blizzard anyway. Alaska wasn't as bad as it was here at the moment and the taxi driver was wearing normal attire with more layers. Just looking at him made me feel hot. Edward looked fine as always, his usual formal wear. Coats, Shirts and Shoes. I was wearing black thick leggings, a big over sized grey top and a sweater and a beanie on top, at the bottom were black UGG boots.

We arrived at our home, home sweet home, nothing could beat Forks, I could smell pine and christmas cookies from miles away... Even though we lived in the middle of nowhere, i could smell everything from miles away. Me, Alice, Esme and Rose ran up to the Cottage. Alice asked me if she could use my closet to pick out christmas outfits since i had the most amount of dresses.

Rose picked out a knee length red dress, it had short sleeves and was a deep red. It was very beautiful and simple. To jazz the outfit up Esme took a sapphire blue box out of my jewlry box out, me and rose had made our mouths drop but Alice was smiling in the corner. "Whats that?" I questioned, Esme opened the box and made me face it. It was a diamond set, it had a beautiful chain and a diamond pendant, it was beautiful with it were simple stud earrings and a cuff as a bracelet. To finish the outfit Alice picked out some black suede heels. We hung it up in a dust bag on the side and we picked out outfits for Alice, Esme and Rose.

Edward knocked on the door and the girls had left in seconds, I walked there and opened the door for him. I stood there for a second and walked back in. I started cleaning the bedroom and closet since it was really messy because of todays fashion session. Edward came behind me and started kissing my neck, he put his arms around my waist. Since we were kneeling on the floor we slowly came up to a standing position. I closed my eyes and bit my lip. Within seconds I was facing Edward and we were as close as we could be. I gently pushed Edward onto the bed and wrapped my legs around him. We ripped each others clothes off and kissed passionately.

Next Morning

"Bella!" Esme called calmly, we were decorating the house for christmas, we were planning on going to Charlie's tonight and opening half our presents there and half at home. The cottage was prepared since Edward helped me do it. We all were in our christmas jumpers and in the UGG store we found long red boots which had green on them which we thought was appropriate. Rose and Alice were creating cookies and cakes to take and Emmett and Jasper were decorating the outside and god knows were Edward is. I put it to the back of my mind and carried on decorating. Myself and Esme were putting up decorations until..."BELLA!" Carlisle called
I rushed up stairs and reached within a second and sat down on the ottoman beside his desk.
"Yes?" I smiled
"Merry Christmas!" He greeted
"Thanks Merry Christmas to you to..." I greeted back
" Where is Edward?" He asked out of the blue
"I have no idea whatsoever..." I denied
"Oh okay, ALICE!" Carlisle called

He was acting quite jumpy something's up, I didn't give it a second thought but everyone besides Em,Jazz,Esme and Rose. Well it is the holiday times.

Few hours later

We were driving normally in normal speed to Charlie's we all were in separate cars. I looked in the side mirror and I had bright red lips on which made me look even more pale but who cares. Everyone had reached besides us two and anyways we are always late. We pulled into the driveway and Edward started to hyperventilate."whats wrong Edward?" I asked worridly
"Your moms here..." Edward finished

There was a moment of silence in the car, but to break it Alice knocked on the window. We got out and went to the house door. Charlie opened it bright eyed with his new girlfriend Sue, Sue Clearwater. He embraced both me and lEdward and helped us bring presents in.

I spotted Renee, in the corner next to Esme on the dark brown sofa. I walked
in slowly with Edward by my side. I waved at Renee while she jumped in her seat.

Renee POV

I eagerly waited for my daughters arrival, Charlie got out of his seat along with his beautiful girlfriend Sue, to open the door. Edward walked in smiling widely with a beautiful young lady by his side holding hands. She reminded me of Bella. But who was this beauty, she had flawless pale skin and brown eyes like Bella's, she had a perfect slim body and nice teeth. Who was she? But then... "MOM?!" She shouted
"Bella? Is that you?" I stuttered
"Yeah its me, Alice and Rosalie's beauty treatments made me look like this." She said, her voice was like bells ringing. Something was sure different about her.
I gave her a big hug and her skin felt ice cold, probably because of the snow outside.

Bella's POV
"Lets open presents now..." Charlie said happily
"Okay we'll go first..." I announced handing Charlie an envelope.
"What is it?" He asked curiously
"Open it..." Edward said
Charlie opened the manilla envelope and gasped. It was a week out at Louisiana, the fish and trout was good there.
"YOUUUU..." Charlie squealed
"Ussss" Edward squealed back

We gave out the presents but I didn't know what to give to my mom. Carlisle walked out the house to his car and brought something back. "Here you go Renee, we didn't know you were coming so there might be a lot of bubble wrap in there since Bella was planning on shipping it to you on the way home." Carlisle explained wide eyed
"Well you didn't have to but thanks A LOT!" Renee thanked

I whispered to Alice because she was giggiling in the corner, no wonder they were acting suspicious. I don't know why but I really wanted to leave, i loved my mom a lot but they would be serving christmas dinner and it smelled like mud to me which is disgusting. I decided to take my presents and not have a fit which takes time and i never win so yeah. "Okay, Where are my gifts?" I asked cheekily
"Here you go.." Edward said
"NO, love not from you, from mom and dad." I replied
Charlie and Renee laughed, Renee handed me a big gift bag. I opened it, it had my locket my nana got for me when I was little. My mom never let me wear it since it was priceless.
"I think your responsible enough now for the necklace." My mom laughed
"I was always responsible." I giggled
"Yeah but you always hurt yourself at least once a week, and now that you have Edward I doubt he will ever let you fall." My mom said lovingly looking at Edward next to me.
"I will never let a tear even come from her eye..." Edward replied
I knew it was impossible for me to cry anyway but they don't know that. Edward makes me so happy, and who would of thought boring and dull Bella would end up with a family like this.
I carried on looking through the bag and it was pictures with antique picture frames.
"Mom its perfect.." I smiled widely pulling her into a hug

We took our gifts from mom and dad and left as quickly as we could, although we didn't eat christmas dinner, we got the chance to christmas hunt which is basically the same but vampire style. We hadn't hunted in quite a while anyway. After we got home we opened gifts and gave gifts, to each other. The day after tomorrow We all were going to be going back to Alaska so we can go back to University. Just in time for the next semester.

first day of university (again)
We walked into the college gates with Jasper and Alice. I searched for Autumn everywhere, I asked sam a boy in my class, and he told me shes by the trees. I walked there by my self and saw here smoking... "AUTUMN what are you doing?!" I shouted
She pulled me down to her level and told me to shut up.
"After my father died, Spencer made me addicted to this stuff now, and now I just have sex with the guys who give them to me so I can get it for free." Je explained
She looked high and she looked goth, I can't believe this is what happened to my best friend. She was wearing a really short skirt with big high stilettos and a top which showed off her boobs and weren't even covering them. A guy passed us, she got up and adjusted her top and made them even less covered up. I could hear everything she was talking about. "Autumn, Cullen's back, anyways tonight me and you, all night..." He said to her
"Yes I know, I will meet you at the apartment, you got the stuff and the drinks." She questioned
"Yes, don't worry about that." He replied slapping her ass and walking away, Autumn walked back and sat back down.
"Autumn WHY?" I questioned
"Because I'm depressed now, my boyfriend doesn't care about me all he cares about is sex and drugs. My dad died, and my new foster parents are rich and there willing to buy me all my needs. They just don't know about this yet..." She said
"I can't believe this Autumn, what happened to the girl we met 2 months ago...?" I asked
"I don't know, what happened to you?" She questioned
"Me and Edward got married..." I lied showing her the rings on my necklace kind of sealed the deal for me.
"Oh Congrats by the way" she congratulated

The bell soon rang and she was planning on staying here and ditching class. I left her and went to my class. Edward saved a seat for me and I told him everything Autumn had told me.
"We have to help her, tonight she's going to some guys house, so tomorrow i'm going to force her to stop. We will tell her parents and ask Carlisle for advice." I finished
