...Chapter 3...
I stalked down the stairs, with my suitcase 'thunking' behind me. I had my backpack slung over my shoulder and had thrown a light blue hoodie on. I was dabbing at the corners of my eye with the end of my sleeve. I came downstaires to find Edward, sitting tacitly in the kitchen, idling with his hands. The house was oddly quiet, way, way too quiet. Even the t.v was shut off. I set my baggage my the door, and peered through the door into the living room. It was empty.
"Where's Charlie?" I asked Edward, swarming back into the kitchen. He finally looked up at me and spoke,
"He left." I froze, Charlie-left? Where could he possibly go? I must have looked worse then I could have imagined because Edward was at my side, with his arms wrapped tightly around me.
"Bella?" He said, his voice ringing with sympathy.
I was dazed for a couple moments before I could respond.
"Where did he go, Edward?" I murmured. He turned me around and pulled my chin up tilting my head so I could peer into his eyes.
"He said; to tell you that, he'd be at the station and was calling Renée."
The last words tolled in my head, Renée... Damn it.
The ride to Edward's house was awkwardly silent. I'd never felt so awkward with Edward, this was a first. My thoughts kept lingering back to a loathsome topic. Why the hell is Charlie doing this? Renée? Damn, once she hears what's happening she will be down here in no time harrassing me.
"Bella?" I heard Edward's voice calling." Bella?, we're here"
I shut out the thoughts, screaming in my head and climbed out of the car.
"Now, are you sure you want to move into a house ful of crazed vampires? Edwards sarcastic voice joked
"Well, where else am I supposed to go?" I asked in a bitter voice. Edward cringed at my pessimistic mood. He tugged at my waist, pulling my closer. We blew through the door, finding all the Cullens in the living room anticipating Edward and I.
"Oh, Bella" Esme soft voice rang at my side. She pulled me into a tight gripped hug. I sank my head into her shoulders, holding back the tears. I saw Alice, standing quite close, next to Esme, waiting so she could enclose me within her tiny arms. Esme, slowly loosened her brace. I stood, half expecting Alice, to crush me into her hard, granite arms. The other half was very surprised to what happened. Alice stood, a sorrowful look on her face. I looked into her eyes, waiting until, I realized that-Alicewas waiting for me. I rushed into her arms, still fighting the tears. Her soothing voice flooded my head.
"It's okay to cry, Bella."
A rush of sobs broke free from my throat. I felt bad that I was staining her blouse. I felt bad I was even crying in a house where absoulutly no one crys!
"I'm so sorry Bella" Alice apolgized, letting me flock back into Edwards embrace.
"It's not your fault at all Alice, Ed-" I started but Alice cut me off.
"No!" she roared. I was a little tacken aback but, she continued
"After you two left, I had a vision of you Bella, moving in here." She said, spreading her arms as a display of the house.
"I was so over-joyed, I guess I never really thought of why you where moving in, and never bothered to check." Alice's face was solem, I felt bad her for feeling bad for me when she shouldn't!
"Alice, It was our choice" I looked up at Edward smiling down to me "to tell Charlie, and weather or not you would of told us, we would of went anyways."
Alice looked a bit blank for a while," So your not mad at me?" she asked.
"No, you silly vampire" I said embracing her in a another hug, I kissed to top of her black spikey hair,
"Your my sister, and look," I said " I'm here aren't I?"
