New Schools and Renewed Meetings

We had made it home from the hospital without any problems Friday night, but now it was Sunday evening, and tomorrow school was starting. Tomorrow I will see my past once again. I had been sitting in my office all day trying to finish planning my lessons for next week. I felt like I had accomplished nothing, because my mind kept returning to the Cullen's. I have thought of nothing else since my conversation with Carlisle Friday night. There family had been torn apart by his leaving me. I don't understand how any of them could be upset with him when he no longer loved me. It was unfair for them to make him stay with me when he didn't love me.

I couldn't concentrate on anything other than seeing them. Jeffery noticed something had been bothering me this weekend, but nothing he tried could pull me away from my thoughts. I had no idea what could have caused them to fall apart, or what seeing me would do to them?

Before I had spoken with Carlisle I was scared that they wouldn't remember me, but now I know that they've had to think about me everyday for the last seventeen years. I'm sure that I have caused that family more pain then they've every endured from anyone. I was a mere human who should have let them be. Tomorrow was probably going to be a nightmare for them when they saw me.

I finally decided to give up on my lessons and head to bed. I stood up from my desk and made my way to the door. I turned off the light and headed to the stairs. I knew Jeffery had an early day tomorrow, so he retired to the bedroom a while ago. I was walking past Alice's room when I heard music. I couldn't believe she was still up. Tomorrow was her first day I was going to have to pry her out of bed. I knocked on her door before entering it.

"Alice what are you still doing up? It's close to midnight honey," I asked as I saw her perched on her bed. She had a worn out book in her lap and her hair was still wet from her shower.

"I couldn't sleep mom. I'm too excited and nervous about tomorrow. I will have to make new friends and I'm going to be the new girl," she answered with a sigh.

"You are going to be fine honey. Tomorrow will be nothing for you. I remember my first day at Forks. Everyone was really friendly and I made friends fast. This town is smaller than Forks, so you know everyone will know about you, and I bet you most of them will be ready to show you the ropes around campus, " I assured her. " Just try and relax Alice. Everything will be okay. Go to bed now alright."

She nodded her head and I closed the door leaving her to do her bidding. I went down the stairs to my bedroom only to be surprised by Jeffery who was still up watching television. He was comfortably laid out on the bed with the remote right beside him. I stood at the door in silence as I observed my husband. He was at least six foot with green eyes and light brown hair. Alice had his eyes and hair color, but she was like me in every other way. Jeffery has a slit muscular physique from his swimming days at WSU.

As he lay there on the bed he looked very comfortable and extremely handsome. All I wanted to do was curl up in bed and lay in his arms. He has been my protector for seventeen years, and I couldn't have asked for a better man. Just staring at him caused me to forget all the thought that had plagued me for the last two days. There was only one thing I could think of as I watched my husband.

I walked further into the room, which caught Jeffery's attention. I gave him a sheepish smile before walking up to the television set and turning it off. I turned back around to see Jeffery sitting up now and staring at me with a curious expression. I walked up to him, now sitting up on the bed, and leaned down to kiss him. During this passionate kiss I brought my hands to fist in his hair, while his arms snaked around my waist pulling my down to him. When we broke from the kiss I noticed that both Jeffery and I had fallen back onto the bed.

I held him back and stared into his green eyes to see them dark with desire and love. In his eyes I saw the purest and deepest love there could be, and I knew anything that tomorrow brought we would be able to handle. I leaned in close to his ear to whisper, "I need you tonight. Just you." With that he took my face into his hands and placed his warm soft lips to mine, and in that kiss I threw every ounce of love, and passion I held for him to carry us to bliss.

Later that night as I lay in my love's arms drifting to into sleep. I thought of those I would see again tomorrow, and found the strength to face whatever would come with them.

I rose bright and early the next day. Jeffery had already left to the hospital, but he didn't leave me without thought. When I opened my eyes I spotted a piece of paper laying on top his pillow. I opened it to read his parting words.

My Dearest Bella,

Last night was amazing. Whatever has been plaguing you this weekend isn't important. You are an amazing women who shouldn't have to worry about anything. You are my love, and anything that comes our way will be handled together.

I'll love you in the morning as I watch you sleep and dream. I'll love you in the evening as I hold you in my arms. I'll love for an eternity, because forever is never too far.

Take care and have a great first day of work. I'll see you this evening.

Love, Jeffery

As I showered I couldn't help, but smile as I thought about his letter and of the special night we shared. Jeffery and I never had to fight to find passion. He was always knew what I needed, and I loved him dearly. We were perfect.

I quickly showered, dried off and got dressed. I walked out of my bedroom to go into the kitchen to grab some breakfast. I started a pot of coffee before I made my way up to Alice's room. There was no sound coming from her room when I came to the door, and the lights weren't on, so I assumed she was still asleep. I knocked on the door, but didn't hear a response, so I opened the door to see Alice hidden under the cover. She was breathing softly, so I knew she was still sound asleep, but it was time for her to wake up, so I quietly tipped toed to the side of her bed. I careful lifted all the cover, so she could hear me and I called, "Alice it's time to wake up. Come on you need to get dressed and come down stairs to eat."

I watched as she slowly stirred. She tried to pull the cover back over her head, but I was keeping them out of reach. I laughed as Alice unsuccessfully attempted in everyway to ignore my call, but to her dismay, I'm sure, she sat up in bed and turned to me. She started squinting when I turned on the light, but eventually rose and made her way to her bathroom.

I knew that she was up even if she was unconsciously functioning. I made my way back down the stairs and into the kitchen to start breakfast. The coffee was done, and I poured myself a cup. Jeffery always liked trying different flavors of coffee. Today we were drinking a German roast blend. It was very strong when you first sipped, but the flavor was very smooth not bitter.

I started eggs and bacon when I heard feet stomping down the stairs and then shuffling towards the kitchen. I assumed Alice stayed up longer than Jeffery and I since she was dragging her feet. I usually never saw her like this unless she was immensely tired. She walked into the kitchen when I greeted her with good morning. She simply grunted and headed straight for the coffee.

The eggs were done by the time Alice finally started to wake up. I placed the scrambled eggs and bacon on a plate, and placed it in front of Alice. She stared at it for a while until the coffee started to kick in. I served a plate for me and we sat in silence eating. It was a calm silence just like the ones Charlie and I use to have when I lived with him. We finished our breakfast washed the dishes and headed out he door. We left the house really earlier because Alice needed to get all her paperwork, and I had a meeting with the principal waiting for me. The car ride was very silent. I kept watching Alice's head bob up and down trying to stay awake.

We arrived to the school around 7:30, but classes didn't start until 8:45. Alice and I were going to have a while to wait, but this allows her to wake up a little more, and I can set up for my first class. I parked the car close to the entrance of the school. Only a few cars were in the parking lot at this time, so we found a decent spot. We got of the car and made our way towards the entrance.

Finding the main office wasn't too difficult. We just had to turn down the first hallway, and the first door to our right had a sign titled Main Office displayed over it.

We entered the office and women with gentle eyes looked up at us. She was sitting behind a desk, which was positioned right beside a door. I assumed that's where the principal resided during the day. The lady behind the desk stood and walked up to us. "Good Morning! I'm Mrs. Manning. How can I help you this morning?" she asked.

"Hello Mrs. Manning, my name is Isabella Carson, and this is my daughter Alice Carson. I'm the new teacher this year, and my daughter will be attending for her junior and senior year." I introduced us.

"Oh Mrs. Carson! It is so nice to finally meet you. We are very excited to have you here. I believe Mr. Harris is in his office. Just go through the door there and I'll take care of Alice," she instructed.

"Thank You Mrs. Manning," I responded then turned to look at Alice. "Go a head and get your schedule. If it is not too late when I am done we'll walk to my classroom and you can leave from there," I explained to Alice. She nodded her head, and I walked to the door and entered into Mr. Harris's office.

I short burly man was standing behind a desk facing a picture of students. I cleared my throat to announce my presence. The gentleman turned and with a gentle smile beckoned me further into the room. "Good Morning I'm Mr. Harris. How can I help you this morning?"

"Nice to meet Mr. Harris. My name is Isabella Carson. I believe we had a meeting scheduled this morning in preparation for my first day in the classroom." I said while shaking his hand.

"Oh yes! It's very nice to meet you Mrs. Carson. I just have a few forms that need to be filled out then we can discuss yours plans for the year," he said as I took my sit and so the process began.

It wasn't long before I was back out in the main office walking towards Alice. I could her the noise coming from the hallway as more students and faculty arrived. Alice stood immediately upon seeing me. We both said our farewells to Mrs. Manning before turning to the door.

As we walked to the door I turned to Alice to inquire about her schedule. This that probably wasn't the best idea at the time because I walked into a very cold hard wall. I was mortified at the time because I did believe I walked into a wall, but it was only until I realized the wall was holding me did it dawn on me what happened.

As I was walking out of the office asking Alice about her schedule an old acquaintance was walking into the office trailed by four beautiful siblings. I looked up to peer into the beautiful topaz eyes I remembered only to be shocked when I was meet with the onyx stare of his hunger.

Don't forget to review. I hope I can udate soon. Review
