Here is chapter 9 of My Life! Enjoy! This chapter is dedicated to my very best friend, Andrea, while I am in Georgia, she is in California…

When we got off the plane, we were at my childhood airport. That's where I used to fly from Georgia to California to visit my dad with my family.

We rented the biggest, but fastest van we could get. Carlisle was driving and man, was he driving fast! He didn't even know where we were going. I tapped his shoulder, "Carlisle, uhmm, do you know where we are going?"

"Yes, I do, Bella, I did some research, it turns out that this is the only orphanage in this town."

"Oh, Okay."

When we drove up to the orphanage, my old guardian, Mrs. Oliver ran out of the building and waited there until we all walked to where she was.

"Hello, how may I hel-" she stopped talking when she saw me.

"Isabella Swan where were you? Don't you know how much I was worried about you?"

Mrs. Oliver was the only person who really cared for me, other than my bestest friend in the world.

Mrs. Oliver looked up at the Cullens, noticed their beauty and then turned all mushy.

"I'm so sorry if she annoyed you or irritated you, I don't know how she escaped."

Carlisle spoke up, "Oh, no we absolutely loved Isabella, we are very happy she found us."

"Yes, she was a joy to have around." Esme added.

"Oh, well, Isabella it seems like you found some people who love to have you around."

"Yep," was all I said.

Mrs. Oliver looked back up, "Thank you very much for bringing her back. Goodbye."

"We wish to adopt," Rosalie yelped.

Mrs. Oliver turned back around, "Oh… Oh...Oh! Come inside, come inside!"

Alice took my hand and led me inside after Mrs. Oliver. I then put on my brave face, but it slipped off when I saw everyone.

"Hey, look, Izzy's back!" one of my bullies named Jenna yelled. Then everyone got up and crowed around me, everyone, but my best friend.

"What happened to you?" a girl named Maddy asked.

"We all thought you were dead," another one of my bullies named Ashleigh stated.

"ALL of us were worried." Jenna said.

"All of you?" I questioned.

"Hey, even we have feelings," Ashleigh declared.

Mrs. Oliver started to speak, so we brought our attention back to her.

"Well, the…" Mrs. Oliver stopped.

"Cullen. Our last name is Cullen, but our daughter, Rosalie is adopting, and her maiden name is Hale," Carlisle shared.

"Okay well… these nice people here want to adopt one of you. We have Maddy, Ashleigh, Jenna, Andrea, Shaye, Stepanie-"

"We wish to adopt young Isabella," Rosalie said.

"Okay… Well… Please step into my office to sign some papers."

When they disappeared inside Mrs. Oliver office, someone whispered in my ear.

"You aren't going to leave without a goodbye, are you?"

I turned around and saw my best friend, Andrea. She has changed so much and it's only been two or three months. Her shoulder blade length black hair has gotten lighter to like a grayish color, her chubby cheeks molded into her face and made it slimmer and her cheeks were very rosy and blushed. She is breathtakingly beautiful. All of my thoughts stopped when she gave me our best friend bear hug.

"I missed you so much," Andrea murmured in my shoulder.

"I missed you too. More than you know." I expressed.

"Aww…look at the two best friends sharing their last moments," Ashleigh and Jenna cooned.

"Where do the Cullens live?" Stephanie asked.

"In a small town named Forks in the state of Washington."

"Cool! Will we ever see you again?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling we will all meet again."

"Isabella, it's time to go now, daughter." Rosalie said, coming out of Mrs. Oliver's office.

"Okay"

I turned to Andrea, with traitor tears welling up in my eyes, "Promise me you won't ever forget me even when you get adopted, promise?"

Andrea looked up, "I promise as long as you won't forget me."

"I won't ever." I promised.

"Then I promise." Andrea declared.

I pulled away from her and looked at Ashleigh and Jenna, "I'm glad we ended on a good note," I said.

"We are too… see you soon, girl," Jenna said.

"I will miss all you guys, so much," I said.

Then I turned my back on my old family… on my old home and faced my new family.

Mrs. Oliver walked us down to our car, "Hope to see you some day, Isabella Marie Hale."

"Goodbye, Mrs. Oliver."

"Goodbye, Ms. Hale."

Rosalie held my hand as we sped down the highway, "I love you, honey," Rosalie said.

I hesitated.

"…I love you too…Mom."
