Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

I don't own Twilight,

So you can't sue!

Could it be that she's right? Before I followed Alice home I resolved to get my dear sweet Bella back, if it was the last thing I did…

Chapter 9

BPOV:

Brightness flooded into my closed eyes and I rolled over to get away from the light but instead of feeling the cold kitchen tile beneath me I felt something soft almost like a bed or a couch. I froze did someone find me passed-out on the floor with a Tupperware container full of blood? Even if who ever found me was dense enough to think that it was a container of tomato soup I will still have to explain to the press why I passed-out- I groaned and sat up and the voices I heard were like music to my ears; "Carlisle! She's awake!!!"

"Bella honey how do you feel?" I looked into Esme's motherly face and I couldn't help but smile.

I threw my arms around Esme's neck and hugged her fiercely: "Oh Esme I missed you!!! But how did you find me?"

Esme gently reached up and untangled me arms from her neck and then she pulled away, "Bella dear I don't think I am the right person to tell you that…"

"It was Edward wasn't it?"

Esme just stared at me with what looked like concern filling her eyes,"Yes Bella, it was Edward."

I just nodded my head, 'He was in my house? Why would he do something like that? Unless he still does care for me…'

I was broken from my thoughts by the sound of someone clearing their throat; "Carlisle!!!"

Carlisle inclined his head towards me, "Hello Bella- how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling fine thank-you."

I looked down at the floor and felt a slight blush set my cheeks ablaze, "I'm sorry you had to see that…"

I think this took Carlisle aback because I heard what sounded like uncertainty in his voice: "Bella don't be silly you are like a daughter to me and it brings my joy when I can help you, but I do have to ask how? I know that you have never been quite normal, but this is strange even for a vampire and we are the farthest things from normal."

I laughed softly, "When have you ever known me as normal? Well as you explained to me, your most prominent traits are intensified when you are turned. My sensitivity to blood was one of those traits, and I have found that I only need to drink blood every few weeks and other then that I am able to eat normal food for the rest of the time."

Esme who was sitting quietly next to the bed broke in, "But Bella, why did you pass out?"

"Well when I do drink blood I have to not inhale the smell because the smell still makes me sick and well this time I was careless…"

I looked down at my feet only to feel a hand lift my chin and I looked up into Esme's topaz eyes, "There is no need to be sorry dear, we all make mistakes."

Carlisle cleared his throat again, "Bella there is something you should be aware of…"

The door bust open and a tiny Alice ran through the door, "WHERE IS SHE?!?!?!"

When Alice saw me she threw her tiny arms around my neck and kissed both of my cheeks, "Bella were neighbors, can you believe it?!?!"

"No Alice I can't." I replied dryly.

"Well before we catch up there is someone who would like to see you."

I froze and I know Alice saw because she put a hand comfortingly on my shoulder before she ushered Carlisle and Esme out of the room.

'Stay calm Bella, what's the worst that could happen?'

I looked up at the door and as if that was a cue he came gliding in and as I looked at his perfect futures my dead heart gave an involuntary leap.

The next thing that happened was worse than I ever imagined.

EPOV:

I found myself following after Alice at top speeds and still I couldn't help but push my BMW a little faster, until I reached a sharp curve in the road and I had to slow down in order to stay on the road. As soon as I rounded the corner I was glad that I had slowed down because waiting on the other side was a shiny police car. I held my breath as I passed him glancing continually in my rear-view mirror only to see flashing lights behind me.

'This isn't good Edward. ' I thought to myself as I pulled off of the road.

I rolled down my window counting my lucky stars that the sky was overcast; "Hello there officer what can I do for you?"

"Well, you can start by telling me why you were going 25 miles over the speed limit."

I stopped holding my breath, 'hey at least I was only going 25 over.'

"You see officer, my one true love is at my house right now and if I do not get there in a matter of minutes she is going to leave and I will never see her again." I dropped my head into my hands and let my shoulders shake a bit hoping it added some more drama to the situation.

When I looked up I saw something glistening in the officers eyes and I had to hold back a chuckle; "Well son I am going to let you off with a warning because when I was about your age I was in a situation like this and as much as I tried I couldn't stop her from leaving. To this day I wish I would have done more to make her stay- son you've found true love don't let it go."

By the time the officer finished his story tears were flowing down his cheeks and I had to resist the urge I had to not throw back my head and laugh; "Yes sir I don't intend to let her go. Sir I don't mean to be rude but if you are only going to give me a warning can I go?"

The officer jumped, "Holy cricket's boy you need to get going!"

I nodded, thanked him, and then got back into my car being cautious not to allow my speedometer over 50.

"I hate going this slow!" I mumbled to myself.

Even with the slow speeds I reached the house in less than five minutes.

I climbed out of the car and raced up the stairs and I followed Alice's voice until I stood in front of my room.

"Well before we catch up there is someone who would like to see you."

After a few seconds Esme, and Carlisle emerged out of the room followed by a bouncing Alice.

Alice stopped right in front of my, "You're doing the right thing Edward and yes she still loves you, she just needs to see that you still love her."

Alice started to turn away but turned back towards me instead, "Oh and Edward good-luck."

With that said she bounced off down the hall into her room where Jasper was waiting for her.

I took a deep breath to try to prepare myself for what was about to happen.

I stepped into my room and there before me on my bed sat my Bella.

You've all heard the old Blockbuster saying, 'Be kind and rewind'? Well here is my spin on it- be kind and review!
