Chapter 10: Wanting a Family.

I looked at the people who had been my family for the last 2 years. They were all here, except for Rosalie, whom I could understand, we never really got along. However, the fact that Edward wasn't here hurt.

"Oh Bella, we're going to miss you" Esme said as she pulled me into a hug.

"I'm gonna miss you to, all of you" I said looking at all of their faces.

Alice stepped forward after Esme stepped back, into Carlisles arms.

Alice hugged me and whispered in my ear, "He loves you, and the only reason he's not here, is because he doesn't want to watch you leave".

She pulled away. Her words may be true, but it still hurt.

Jasper came up and gave me an awkward hug, Jasper and I were never close.

Emmet came up next, giving me a bone crushing hug, lifting my feet off of the ground.

"I'm gonna miss you Bells" Emmett was the only person who called me Bells, he was, no matter what, my older brother.

"I' gonna miss you to Emmett" I said. It's a good ting I couldn't cry, cause I'd be a total reck right now.

***************

I boarded the plane, after looking over my shoulder, one more time, to see my family smiling weakly at me whilst waving me good-bye.

****************

I had been back at the Volturi for around two days, Felix back at my side, still thinking we were married or whatever he thought.

"Bella, could I have a word with you" Aro asked me when I walked past him. He led me into and empty room.

"Bella, what's wrong? You've been back for two days, and you look miserable" Aro asked, concerned.

"Aro, have you ever gone somewhere and experienced something, then come back, and then you want that something?" I asked hoping it made sense.

"No, but if you want something, name it and you'll have it"

"I want a family" I stated.

"But you have a family Bella, the Volturi is your family, and if you want more, I bet Felix…"

"Aro, the Volturi isn't a family, it's a business" I argued. "In a family, you don't replace someone when another person comes along that got a better power, or is stronger or whatever. This is not a family"

"Of course it is. Family is people who love you"

"But the people here love me because you do, because they have to Aro, not because they want to"

"But Bella, Felix…"

"I don't care about Felix. Felix is my body guard, nothing else" I stated.

"But Bella…" Aro began, only to be interrupted by one of the women from the front desk.

"Um… Bella, there is someone out here asking to see you"

"Who?" Aro asked whilst I began to walk towards the door.

"I'm not sure" the lady replied.

"Bella, I wish to see them first. I am not risking your safety" Aro said as he began walking towards me.

"But Aro, if anything happened the guard…"

"Mightn't be quick enough. No arguments Bella" Aro said, his tone of voice told me that there was no more arguing to happen. He was going first and that was it.

I slowly started to walk behind him.

'I wonder who it is' I thought to myself.
