Hi, since I got more reviews than I asked for I will update and give you the second chapter! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Cullens, Bella or any of the Twilight characters. The only people that I do own are the characters which will be coming up in the later chapters. I will mention each of the characters when they come up in the story.

Bella's eyes flew open and she sat up then she immediately closed her eyes again when the sun shone onto her face. She blinked rapidly for a few seconds so that her eyes adjusted to the light. Bella climbed out of her bed, took a shower even though she took one yesterday and then got herself dressed, she wanted nothing more than to curl up in her bed and go back to sleep but she knew that if she didn't turn up at school today endless questions would be asked by many especially Edward and besides she had to apologise to Edward and the Cullens for the way that she spoke to them.

Bella trudged downstairs and was pleasantly surprised to see Charlie sitting at the table. Charlie looked up as he heard her enter and a degree of concern passed over his face when he saw her bloodshot eyes.

"Bells, I was thinking. Do you really think that you should go into school today? I know it was a few years ago but what happened to you has had a big impact on your life and you can't expect to be all down in the dumps one day and then completely forget about it the next." Bella smiled weakly, she knew that emotions weren't Charlie's strong point but she appreciated him trying at least.

"No Dad, I really should go in today. I'll be fine. After all this is what I've done for the past few years, isn't it? Spent one day moping about what happened and then the next day continue on with my life. Also I have to apologise to the Cullen's for the way that I spoke to them yesterday, I was too harsh, they were only trying to help and I threw it back in their faces." Charlie looked torn but admitted defeat. Bella was just about to start making her breakfast when she heard the sound of a car pull up and two honks of a horn signalling that someone was outside.

Bella picked up her bag and rushed outside hoping that the car was Edward's. It was! She climbed in the car but didn't speak afraid that Edward was angry at her for the way she spoke to him and his family. Bella grew tired of the silence in the car and opened her mouth to say something but Edward beat her to it.

"You know that we were all only trying to help you, don't you?" Bella sighed, she felt terrible for yelling at them all and hated Edward looking so pained.

"I know and I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you all. It wasn't fair of me. I was just having a bit of a down day. Can I come to your house this afternoon? So that I can apologise to Carlisle and Esme." Edward smiled just grateful that nothing was seriously wrong with Bella and nodded.

"Yes, I think they'd like you to come round and they'll forgive you don't worry." Edward's reassurance made Bella feel just that little bit better. They pulled up at the school and walked into the building.

Bella was on her way to the cafeteria and bumped into Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett. Rosalie as always glared at her but Alice, Jasper and Emmett all smiled at her, then Bella felt the ground disappearing from under her feet as she was swept into Emmett's infamous bear hug and spun around. When her feet returned to the ground Bella felt momentarily dizzy but it soon passed and she was then swept into another hug by Alice even Jasper hugged her which was unusual for him as he usually kept away from her. Bella wasn't going to complain though as long as the Cullens forgave her that was more important as they were like her family, even Rosalie was like a very temperamental, older sister.

The rest of the school day passed quickly and soon enough the bell rang for the end of the day. The Cullens and Bella went to the school car park and got into the cars, Edward and Bella in the Volvo, Alice and Rosalie in Rosalie's red BMW and Jasper and Emmett in Emmett's jeep. It seemed like only five minutes before they arrived at the Cullens house and whilst Bella and Edward headed towards the door, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper and Emmett went off into the woods most likely to hunt as they hadn't since that morning.

Bella and Edward went inside whilst Esme and Carlisle were nowhere to be seen Bella knew that they were home as Esme's jacket was slung over the chair just inside.

"Carlisle? Esme? Are you here?" Edward didn't have to talk very loud, after all vampire hearing enables a person to hear something from the other side of the house. Esme rushed down from the kitchen whilst Carlisle's study door slowly opened and they both came down the stairs.

"Bella? You're here! We're sorry if we upset you." Bella appreciated how concerned Carlisle and Esme were for her, it was like having another set of parents, the only exception being that this set could do things for themselves and didn't need to rely on me constantly.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry for yelling at you. I know you were only trying to help and…" Bella didn't get the chance to say anything else as she was pulled into hugs by both Esme and Carlisle. Esme then took her hand and pulled up the stairs and to the kitchen where she sat her down and made her something to eat. They didn't say anything for a time and then Esme's voice broke the silence.

"Bella, you know that you can tell us anything. You're like another daughter to me and you can trust me." Bella smiled her gratitude but didn't say anything in reply.

Bella arrived home and saw Charlie in the living room. He looked up and saw that Bella looked a lot better then she had that morning, he had never been very good with emotions but he always hated when his daughter was upset. He hated what had happened to her and wanted to make the pain stop but it wasn't his battle to win and all he could do was give Bella support.

"So, everything went okay then?" Bella turned back towards the living room and saw Charlie looking at her, trying but failing to hide his concern for her.

"Yeah Dad, everything went fine." Bella continued on to the kitchen where she began to prepare dinner.

Later that night Bella got ready for bed and opened the window so that Edward would be able to come in. She didn't know why but she just needed Edward there. After all, she felt that she should cherish what time she had left with him because if he learnt her secret she doubted that he and his family would want to be anywhere near her. Esme and Carlisle said that she could talk to them but she really couldn't as she didn't want to be a burden. No, this secret had to be kept. She couldn't tell anyone and she had to make sure that Charlie and her mother wouldn't tell anyone either. Bella closed her eyes and fell into another restless sleep.

Hope you enjoyed the second chapter of The Unsaid. About 10 reviews should prompt me to update.
