Still don't own a thing except Molly.Lunch Time Talks
Bella dumped her stuff in her locker and slammed it shut. Should she go and see the Cullen kids? Where was Molly when she needed her? Glancing around the hallway she searched for her adoptive sister. Human boys kept ogling her as the walked by. A few even trying to talk to her as she pushed by them, desperately searching for Molly.
Going into the bathroom she found Molly redoing her hair in front of the mirror, "Molly we have a problem."
"What's wrong?" Molly asked, switching to applying lipgloss.
"They're here, "Bella said, "The Cullens."
"Is Edward...?" Molly asked, turning to face her.
Bella shook her head, "No, he's working at the hospital in town."
Molly nodded, "Well that's good right?"
"I don't know," Bella sighed, "I want to see him so bad but what if... What if he just says the same thing again? What if nothing has changed? I want to see Alice and Esme and everybody else so badly but if I go back I think they'll expect me to stay with them and get back together with Edward. That's what it seemed like when I talked to Rosalie and I don't know if I can..."
"You talked to Rosalie? Wasn't she the one who hated you?" Molly asked shocked.
"Yea, but she was really apologetic and told me that the family basically needed me and nothing was the same without me there," Bella told her.
"Wow, so what do you want to do?" Molly inquired.
"Ugh, I think I have to talk to them. At least I want to see Alice again. I've missed them all so much," Bella decided.
"Alright, well you know I'm here for you Bells," Molly said, giving her a quick squeeze, "Are you ready?"
"Yea I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be," Bella said, turning to leave the washroom.
As they walked down the hallway toward the cafeteria Dustin once again squirmed his way in between them, "Well, if it isn't my two favourite girls! I just have to introduce you to everybody. I mean you two are my new home girls and I can't have any of the other guys bugging you now can I?"
Molly twirled around, "Dustin, we really appreciate all of your.... Help but I think we've got it from here. Now if you'll excuse us..."
Dustin, still holding onto their arms had led them to his table, "Oh come on. Just let me introduce you to everyone."
Bella tried not to growl as she got more irritated, "We are actually supposed to be meeting some people right now."
"Oh well come on it'll only..." Dustin started.
"We'll talk to you later alright Dustin?" Molly said as she guided Bella away from the table and towards the Cullens, sitting in a corner of the room.
As they walked up to the table, Bella's unnecessary breathing grew more and more ragged. Bella couldn't seem to figure it out but there was definitely something different about the Cullens. They seemed almost dead- figuratively speaking. Alice turned, her purplish shadows around her eyes more defined then usual and ran towards Bella, grabbing her and pulling her into a hug that would have killed her if she had been human. Emmett, the face once creased with laugh lines, seemed sallow and almost depressed. His eyes lit up a little as he saw his little sister. Rosalie, staring at Emmett's change in attitude smiled brightly. Jasper, guilt ridden, seemed unsure of what to do.
"Bella, oh my god, Bella! I can't believe it's you! You've been a vampire all this time! I can't believe it! Bella, I'm so sorry. I tried to talk him out of it, I swear I did. Please, Bella I've missed you so much. Nothing's been the same without you. Everything fell apart when we left. I'm so sorry," Alice cried, still clinging to Bella.
"Alice," Bella laughed, "It's not your fault. I don't blame any of you for anything."
"You don't?" Alice asked.
"No, of course not," Bella smiled sadly, "I completely understand."
"Say you'll come to our house after school," Alice said, "Please? Esme and Carlisle have missed you so much."
"I don't know Alice, " Bella refused, "It's probably not a good idea."
"Why not?" Alice asked.
"Because... I don't think I can see... him.... Yet, "Bella answered.
"He's on call tonight at the hospital," Alice said, "So you have to come! There's no reason for you to stay away! We want to know everything Bella. We have so many questions for you."
Bella contemplated this, "I'll think about it Alice."
Alice turned to Molly, "Hi, I'm Alice. Resident fashionista, shopaholic and hyper Cullen sister. You have no idea how much we owe you. We can't thank you enough for saving our Bella."
"Well, I can't say that I would be the same person without my little sister," Molly smiled fondly.
Alice pulled Molly into a big hug as well and whispered in her ear, "Thank you so much."
"We can't really get into all the details here obviously but at our house we'll really talk alright?" Alice said.
"Yea sounds good," Bella replied.
Molly sat down beside Bella, holding her hand reassuringly under the table. As the group chattered on Bella couldn't help but see how easily everyone got on. Molly seemed so happy and at ease with the Cullens and Bella didn't want to have to screw everything up for her.
They had spent brief periods of time with several different covens throughout the world but nothing had lasted. Bella could plainly see how much it hurt Molly to be constantly moving around and leaving people she had grown attached to but nothing felt right. Something always happened to screw things up whether it be unwanted attention from the single male vampires that could never compare to Edward or break downs and the list went on.
The last family they had been with- the Roses'- had been so good to her and Molly. There had been four other vampires there. Hannah was the mother figure. She was beautifully pale with long, curly blonde hair. Daniel was the father figure and the leader of the coven. He was quite powerful and was from the South like Jasper. He had even been able to move things with his mind. The two kids in the family, Brad and Kiera, had actually been siblings during their human years. Their family had been so happy and well put together. Bella and Molly had fit so well with them until they had moved to a new school. Bella had been going through a particularly rough patch and had had some hallucinations. She insisted that the Cullen's were at the school and that they had to leave. Molly, being a good sister, had said goodbye to the family she had grown so fond of and taken Bella to their current school. Bella still felt horrible about this but Molly never let her get too down on herself.
"So, Bella? Do you have a power? Or you Molly? I'm just wondering because my visions are really blurry. I can't make anything out," Alice asked.
"Oh, well actually yea, sorry. I'm a shield. If I block people's powers they go a little haywire. I'm still trying to figure out how to control it. I've been practicing but it's difficult," Bella explained.
"Yea, and I can manipulate memories," Molly said, "Take them away, place them in your mind, change them. I don't like to use it though. It's very draining and I don't like invading people's privacy like that."
"Wow, what a talented duo," Emmett smiled, "Oh yea and Bella?"
"Yea Em?" Bella asked.
"I still want to have that arm wrestling match," he smirked.
"You're so on," Bella laughed.
Molly rolled her eyes, "Prepare to lose Emmett. The Armstrong sisters never lose a challenge."
The bell wrang and everyone got up to go to their last class.
"So we'll see you after school then? We live at 1245 Harper Street South. It's a bit out of the way but hopefully your driving skills have improved Bella. Maybe then you'll get there before it gets dark."
"Oh don't worry. I'll be doing the driving," smirked Molly, "Driving Miss Daisy here is certainly no lead foot."
Emmett rolled his eyes, "Typical Bella. Wait! Are you still clumsy?"
Bella shook her head, "Thankfully some things do change. We'll see you all later."
Update soon....Reviews are appreciated : ) 3
