Chapter 25

BPOV

I had cried for so long that I had no more tears and I was just dry sobbing now. It was early morning before I decided to get up and go back to the house. I slowly walked at a human pace at the edge of the water. I looked down at my perfect glittering feet as the sun's first light came up. I decided that I would hunt before I went back to the house. I had two bears and placed them under a tree and made my way back to the edge of the water. I could hear my family's thoughts but I pushed them out of my head. I didn't want to mind-speak to anyone and I wasn't quite ready to talk to anyone. I slowly walked around to the front of the island and I could hear Edward's thoughts clearer now. I couldn't push them out like anyone else's and they were ringing through my head.

Bella? Love, please come back. They are holding me hostage until you come because they wanted to give you some space. Please, Bella, I love you. He repeated over and over.

I sighed and lightly jogged up to the house. I opened the door and into the room where Edward was being held. I gasped as I saw what they had done. Edward was lying on the floor and Emmett and Jasper were each holding one side of him down to hold him in place. Edward looked tired and Emmett and Jasper looked even more exhausted from his struggling in the past hours.

I let out a giggle as I stepped into the room and they all looked up with relief. Emmett and Jasper let go and Edward rushed to me and almost knocked me over as he kissed me passionately. He reluctantly released me as our brothers cleared their throats.

"Bella, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen." He murmured, stroking my face. I smiled lightly and buried my head in his chest. I sighed with relief and he pulled my face up to look at him. I heard Jasper and Emmett walk out.

"Good to have you back, Bella." Emmett said with a smile as he closed the door. I turned my attention back to the burning eyes staring at my face.

"I'm so sorry." He said again. I sighed and pulled away from him. I walked over to the window and crossed my arms as I watched the sun slowly come up over the horizon.

"Why, Edward?" I asked, turning towards him, and a confused look crossed over his face. "Why are you sorry? It's my fault and you take the blame. Rosalie's right, you know." He quickly crossed the room and wrapped his arms around me, like he was afraid that I would run again.

"Bella, it's not your fault. I'll admit that it wasn't really my fault either; it was Rosalie's. It was wrong of her to say something like that. " his voice sounded pained as he told me this. I shook my head. "I wanted to come after you. I was so worried. But they wouldn't let me. They thought that you needed some space." I closed my eyes but a tear escaped and rolled down my icy cheek. Out of habit, he wiped the tear with his thumb but then looked back at my tear in wonder. "How…?" He asked.

I shrugged. "It's another human trait that I got." I told him using Carlisle's wisdom.

"You are truly incredible." He told me, kissing my neck. I closed my eyes and leaned against him.

"I'm sorry." I told him as he carried me to the bed and he hovered over me. He pulled my clothes off as I took his off. He made a trail of kisses from my belly button to my lips. Edward eventually crashed down on top of me and I giggled. We stayed up in our room for hours, until Alice knocked on the door. We pulled away from each other and my face was burning crimson as I pulled on all of my clothes quickly.

"Hold on, Alice." Edward said grinning wildly at me as he pulled his clothes back on. We paid back down on the bed together and Alice opened the door.

"Don't pretend like I didn't know what was going on up here." She said with a smile. I rolled my eyes and I listened to the thoughts floating around the house. Most of them were involving me in some way. Carlisle was wondering about my powers. Esme was being motherly and worrying about me and how I was adapting to becoming a vampire. Jasper was thinking about how I now shared powers and traits with each member of the Cullen's. Emmett was thinking of a new way to use my powers to help him with one of his pranks. Rosalie was feeling sorry for herself and me. Edward was just thinking about me and what we had just done. And Alice, she wanted to show me my new wardrobe. I sighed and rolled of the bed and into a standing position.

"You want to show me a new wardrobe, right?" I asked with a bored voice. She smiled hugely and grabbed my hand to pull me off with her. She couldn't move me though because I was pulling back.

"Oh come on, Bella! You'll love it!" She said attempting to pull me towards her closet.

"I loved what I was doing before you interrupted me." I said and grinned at Edward. She rolled her eyes and Edward nodded.

"Don't worry, love. Let her show you. I'll be here waiting." He said wickedly smiling at me as Alice led me out of my room and into hers. I mouthed 'help me' at him as I was dragged out of the room. Edward chuckled and I walked into Alice's room. There were two large trunks in the middle of her floor. Alice smiled at me and opened one of them. It was filled with so much clothing that Alice must have spent a fortune on.

"Oh Alice." I murmured as she pulled out shirts, pants, shoes, and purse that I could ever need. "This is so much." I said as I looked around the piles of clothing after she was done emptying the second trunk. I listened to her thoughts for a moment. Good thing she doesn't know about the two other trunks at home. "Alice? Two more at home?!" I yelled.

"I forgot that you can read minds too." She smiled and pushed different outfits for me to try on. I took off my clothes and tried on so many different outfits. She nodded in approval at each and eventually I was finished.

"Alice, is all of this really necessary?" I asked as she shoved them all neatly back into the trunks.

"Of course, Bella." She said still smiling. I tried to look into her thoughts but she was blocking them by saying the alphabet in Japanese. "Now you don't have to go shopping for a while." I smiled at that and I heard a knock at the door.

"Alice? Can I come in?" Rosalie's voice came from outside the door. Alice looked at me nervously and I nodded.

"Sure, Rose." She said, sitting on the bed next to me. Rosalie walked in slowly and closed the door never taking her eyes off me. She looked sorry and she sat on the floor in the middle of the room, facing us.

"Alice, can I talk to Bella, alone?" she asked. Alice closed her eyes for a brief second and then danced out of the room before smiling at me. Rosalie looked up at me and a stared down at her. We sat like this for a while before I broke the silence.

"Is everything ok?" I asked her. She quickly jumped on the bed next to me and grabbed my hand.

"Look, Bella. I need to apologize for the way I acted last night. I was wrong." I was shocked that she even apologized. "So I'm really sorry. I didn't mean the things that I said to you. I am jealous of you. You get the looks, the powers, and almost everyone adores you. That's all I've ever wanted." I could hear Edward outside the door listening as he unsuccessfully blocked his thoughts from me. He was debating whether or not to come in and help me. I didn't really need help with an apology though and she wasn't going to do anything. Her feelings were calm and her mind was set on apologizing to me.

Edward, it's ok. She's not going to try anything. I told him and I could hear his footsteps back into our room. She gripped my hand tighter.

"Bella, I'm really sorry. You didn't really ruin our family. You added to it. Sure, you put us through some hard times but it was worth it. It really was." I shuddered, remembering everything. She stared into my eyes and I could tell that she was truly sorry. "You bring out the best in everyone, even me." she smiled. "I just wanted to tell you that. And I'm sorry. I put a lot of strain on my family because I was vain and jealous." She looked like she wanted to continue, but I interrupted her.

"Rose, it's ok. I understand. Can we just start over and be friends?" I asked. She smiled hugely and hugged me. I took that as a yes.

"Alice?" she called. Alice flew into the room and grabbed my other hand.

"What are you doing?" I asked looking at their wild smiles.

"It's time to get you ready." Alice answered. I sighed remembering my vision from yesterday. I rolled my eyes and let them put un-needed make-up on me.

"So is this for my surprise party?" I asked laughing.

"Oh course, Bella. This is your surprise surprise party since you saw the last one. So now you get to have double the fun." I laughed with them and wondered how many more time I would have to play Barbie with them for the rest of eternity.
