EPOV

Sometime in the middle of the night I heard Esme walk across our floor and go into Bella's room. I had just gotten up to use the bathroom. Now I lay on my bed thinking about Bella, she was so angry and provocative, it was shocking. Especially since she was my age, she was only 14 but came half dressed. When I woke back up my clock said it was 9 in the morning. I washed and dressed before heading down for breakfast, which had an amazing smell that was invading the halls.

I walked into the kitchen and was not surprised to see that Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper were already at the kitchen island. Alice was grabbing orange juice from the fridge.

"Morning Eddy" She said when she saw me.

"Morning Ally" I smiled at her.

We both sat at the island and Carlisle joined us with a cup of coffee. He said good morning and we said it back as Esme put plates of food in front of us.

"Bella" Carlisle called when Esme put a plate in front of an empty seat. "Bella come down here"

We started eating and I was chewing bacon when Bella showed up. Automatically I choked on it before swallowing it down with orange juice. She stood in a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt that fit her just right. Her wet hair was pulled into a high pony tail and her face was clear of all of last night's make up. She was beautiful!

"Sit next to Emmett and eat your breakfast, we have a long day ahead of us." Esme said.

"I'm not hungry" She mumbled, but she sat down and started picking at her food.

"So what are we doing today mom?" Alice asked.

"Well, we have to go shopping for Bella" She said.

"Yay, shopping" Alice squealed.

"Yeah, I figured we could use this time to hang out as a family too"

"Where are we going to shop?" Alice asked.

"Most likely, Port Angeles"

Bella looked up at that happily. After breakfast Esme put the dishes in the dishwasher and turned it on, and then we piled into two cars. Bella, Emmett, and I got in the car with Esme. Jasper, Rosalie, and Alice got in the car with Carlisle. I sat in the back with Bella and we listened to music the whole way.

When we got there we went straight to the shops, Alice leading. Bella told Alice her size and just nodded at everything Alice threw at her. We chatted with Bella but she was obviously distracted and hardly paid attention. Everyone had at least two new things by the time we put the bags in the trunk and decided to do lunch before finishing.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked Bella as we waited for our food. "You seem distracted."

"I'm not" She said.

We ate McDonalds and chatted idly and Bella talked when addressed.

"Cookie" A girl suddenly said.

Bella's head snapped up and located the girl. She looked a little older than Bella and was wearing short shorts and a lace shirt.

"Candy" She got up and hugged the girl.

"Girl, we were so worried after the cops picked you up last night, we thought they booked you again. Where you went last night?"

"They sent me with this family" Bella said gesturing to us.

"Well drop this shit, let me take you home. Daddy was worried"

"He was" Bella asked.

"Hold on" Carlisle said, standing up. "Bella isn't going anywhere with you, her home is with us"

"What? No, hell no, you can't take her, she already has a home"

"Bella" Carlisle said. "We are getting ready to go, so come on"

It was clearly not a question.

"Bella" The girl, Candy, said. "Daddy will not be happy to know you're free but not coming back home"

"She is going home" Carlisle said. "Bella, if you leave I will be forced to call the cops"

"Candy, I can't come home today" Bella said. "But I'll figure something out"

"Cookie, please" She said.

"Tell everyone I'm okay" Bella said before turning back to us. Her eyes zeroed in on Carlisle as Candy left. "I hate you" She said menacingly.

"It's for your best" Carlisle said.

"Why do you get to decide what is best for me? I've been taking care of myself for as long as I could remember, I don't need anyone else to do it now." She snapped. "And I'm not staying here until I'm 18; I have a life and a family."

Bella turned and stormed away angrily. Carlisle got up to follow but Emmett got up too.

"I'll go get her, she probably doesn't want to see you right now" He said.

"We'll wait by the cars" Carlisle said.
