Chapter 16

Previously: The car ride home was filled with mindless chitter-chatter but when we reached Angela's home, I was sad. I didn't want the day to end; I had just gotten back my best friend.

"I'll see ya tomorrow Angela. I have to go home and make that stupid essay." She grinned at me, and we hugged one last time.

"Thanks for today Bella; it was the best girl-time I've had in a long, long time." I beamed at her, and she made her way into her house.

The car ride back with Jasper was interesting, to say the least. It all started out with Jasper just talking about random stuff, and then, out of nowhere he said: "You know; he likes you too" which had me staring at him in disbelief the rest of the way home. When the car finally came to a stop, I had come to the conclusion, that he must have read Edwards emotions wrong. There was no way Edward liked me. Not like I loved him. Yeah, I loved him. It was stupid and silly but I did. Typically me, to fall in love with a vampire - and a vampire that posed to be my sibling, none the less.

What Jasper had said to me in the car, I soon forgot. Sure, it was still there, lurking in the back of my mind, but I wouldn't believe it. I was so scared; scared of not being good enough, scared it was a joke. But still, I knew Jazz loved me, he wouldn't do that to me. Not even Em would play with my feelings like that.

I sighed. Living with gifted vampires, well I guess vampires in general, is quite confusing. Especially if some of said vampires know a secret of yours. And the one that couldn't find out was a mind-reader. Ah yes, life is great. Not.

I was really glad I had found Angela again though. I had missed her ever since I ran off. Finding her again was like stumbling upon a long lost treasure from your past. Like a piece of jewelry you had lost many years ago, and just happen to find.
In the weeks following my arrival in Forks, we were together, either at her place, or my place, almost every day. The days she was not with me, she was with Ben, and I was so happy for them. They were so good together, like two halves of a whole. And I lived with couples that are indeed to halves of a whole, so I know there's something like soulmates out there. I also know that not many believe in soulmates, but I can tell you you're sure when you find the right one. And then you'll believe. I'm sure Angela won't ever see another man like she sees Ben, and Ben was the same way. He was so good to her. I didn't even have to come with the 'protective-best-friend-speech', you know; threaten him with intense pain if he treated her wrong – because he would never do that.

It's safe to say that Angela never again questioned my eating habits in school; she knew how much I ate when I got home, so if anything, I think she was worried I'd gain way to much weight. But I told her that she didn't have to worry; mom mostly made me healthy food, and living with a doctor was a good thing too.

There was this rumor going on and about at the school though. When I first heard it, I rolled my eyes and laughed.

Jessica and Lauren had made everyone believe I was bulimic. Angela and I got quite the laugh out of that one.

~~~~~Lost&Found~~~~~

It was Friday, and Angela seemed to be in quite the dilemma. Ben and I had asked her if she could be together at the exact same time. It was hilarious really; we were at lunch, and almost as if we had planned it, we both turned to her and asked if she had anything to do today. She laughed, and Ben and I joined in.

"No, seriously, are you busy today?" Ben and I asked again, at the same time. It was getting quite weird, if I must say so myself. It was like we had rehearsed lines or some stupid like that. She snorted and continued to chuckle at us.

Just then I got a text from Ali.

Invite them both over, it could be fun! xx ~ Ali

I looked at the message and hit my forehead.

"I'm so stupid guys, why didn't I think of it before?" They looked at me weirdly.

"We can all just hang out together! We can go to my place, eat some food of Mom's and watch movies and play games!" I grinned hugely at them. Ben looked so happy that I regretted not asking sooner.

"Cool! I'm up for it." he stated. Angela was looking at me with gratefulness in her eyes. I just smiled softly at her.

So that was how we ended up at my place, eating Esme's God-awesome food and watching Kick-Ass. That movie is so weird there's no describing it. I must admit we all liked Hit-Girl. The girl was super cool.

"Guys, you up for a little game?" Ben smiled as Angela raised an eyebrow. She had been here so many times that she probably knew what I was going to ask. She knew what my all-time favorite game was. It may have something to do with the fact that it was the only game so far, I could win against Emmett. I still took pride in that.

"Sure!"

I smiled at Ben, and showed him the "game-shelf" which was more like an entire bookcase, but whatever. His jaw dropped.

"Yeah, let's just say I live with a big oaf." I grinned as I heard Emmett protest somewhere in the house. Carlisle had told me that my ears had developed somehow, to be more tuned into where everybody were; or so I didn't get too startled because I could faintly hear them. Of course, my human ears were extremely dull taking into consideration the vampires' hearing. I just had better hearing than the average human.

Ben wanted to play Black-Ops, so we settled for that. Angela thought we were weird because we liked that game, and she just watched us in amusement as we shouted profanities at each other.

"You can't win against me, Cullen!" He shouted playfully as he tried to shoot me down.

"Oh, you're so going down, Cheney!" And our bickering was met by snickering from Angela.

"You guys look like my little brothers when they fight." She giggled. It made me pause for a second, and Ben took the chance, and shot me. I didn't even care. Something she had said triggered something within me. Brothers. Ben was still hooting and hollering over his victory; because it was the first time he had actually gotten me. I was very still and just looked at him.

Dark brown hair, with natural red streaks in.

Brown eyes.

Same small nose.

Oh dear God.

Even the same hairline.

I've got to call my dad.

Ben was looking at me funny. Like he thought I was going whacko. I just half-smiled at him, and excused myself form the room.

I called Carlisle as soon as I was out of the room.

"Dad?" I asked when he picked up at the third ring. I think my tone told him this was not a pleasant call.

"Bella? What is it?" He was getting worried, I could tell.

"When do you get off from work? I- I think we have to do a test at home. I- I think I may have a brother… as in biologically." I whispered the last part, knowing full well that he could hear me.

"What?" he was surprised, it must have been the first time I was able to really surprise him.
"Uhm, just come home, 'k? I really need your help." He agreed and we hung up.

Walking back into the living room, I sat down, my mind going a million miles an hour.

"Hey Ben? Who's your dad?" He frowned and looked at me like I was crazy. I just smiled at him.

"Uhm, I have no idea. My mother's not sure, because, well, she was with one and then found another around the same time." he was blushing furiously. This may mean- oh God, maybe it's true.
"Ben, I know this will sound weird, I mean like really weird. But- I think we may have the same father. I mean look at us. Notice the little details." He scanned my face, and I could see his eyes widening.

"What? What is it? Ben?" Angela asked. She was clearly confused, just as much as Ben and I.

"Ang, Babe, look at us." He stood beside me, and we both looked at Angela, as her eyes moved from him to me, and back again.

"Huh. You guys look so much ali- HOLY!" Esme came running in, looking frantic.

"Is there anything wrong? Angela, dear, are you hurt?" she was fussing over her, trying to see if she was alright.

"I'm fine Esme, just try and look at those two over there!" She practically yelled. I could see Esme's brows shoot for the moon when she took us in, as we stood there, side by side. I was sure she could see even more similarities between us.

Just then Carlisle came in the door. Esme looked at him, and then with her eyes motioned for us. No words needed. With one single glance, she had filled Carlisle in on our new discovery. I may have a half-brother.

"Ben, Bella, I have to take some samples of the blood. You will get your answers as soon as possible." We both nodded, and followed him to his office. I hated the smell, sight and feeling of blood being taken out of your arm. I hated the feeling of the needle, and the weird, pulling sensation of the blood being taken out of your system. Ben didn't look too comfortable either.

"Ben, do you think it's possible?" I whispered. He just nodded, and closed his eyes, as Carlisle had decided to take blood from him first. Ben even had the same aversion to blood as I had. Dear God, I think I have just found a family member! A half-brother no less!

We were right. Carlisle ran some tests at work the next day, and came home with a look on his face that told that I did, indeed, have a half-brother. I had invited over Ben and Angela again, so I didn't have to call him to tell him the news. It took a little while for it to sink in. Ben was a few months older than me, so I'm pretty sure my biological father must have been with Ben's mother, before he got married to mine. Or at least I hoped so. I didn't want what few memories I had of a happy life with my biological parents to be tainted like that. I wanted them to be real; I wanted us to have had a happy life.

We were sitting in the living room, eating some cookies Esme had baked, when Ben and I reached for the same one.

"Bro! That's mine!" I called, punching him in the shoulder. And just like that, we both accepted that we were brother and sister, and laughed ourselves stupid.

The following weeks went by with getting to know Ben as a brother, and teasing Angela about the fact that she was dating said brother, and Ben, that he was dating my best friend. I had a lot of fun watching the sputtering and blushing – Emmett would have been so proud. After school, the three of us would go to my place, they were becoming such a regularity that Esme stopped asking if they were coming over, and just had food on the ready for us when we got home. I never bought lunch because I knew something much better was waiting for me at home, and eventually, Ben and Angela stopped as well, seeing as Esme's food just had no competition.

The three of us were the best of friends; we were as thick as thieves, never seen without at least one of the others. I noticed of course, how Jessica and Lauren especially kept throwing dark looks at me, glaring and sneering whenever I crossed their paths. But I didn't care, I had my best friend back, I had gained another brother, and I was as happy as ever.

Whenever Ben and Angela couldn't come over, or they just wanted some 'boyfriend-girlfriend' time, I spent my time with my family. They were always around, and they even spent time with Angie and Ben, but sometimes it was just nice to spend time with them. I still hadn't gotten over Edward; I was so in love with him it was a miracle he hadn't found out yet. I just thanked my lucky stars that he hadn't.

So there we go, the next to last chapter. I hope you liked it!
Bet you didn't expect that! Looool :D

Cheers!
