After what only seemed like five minutes to me, Alice nudged me awake.

"We're home Bella. Time to go." I slowly looked around to see that almost all the other passengers had already left the plane, it was just us three left. I slowly stretched and then got up to get off the plane. As we were walking through the airport I could tell that something was bothering Edward. He was sulking and always stayed a step ahead of me. With out thinking about what I was doing, I grabbed Edwards hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. He quickly turned around and looked into my eyes, a truly surprised look on his face.

Suddenly I remembered that it wasn't like that between us anymore, so I quickly dropped his hand and slide past him. Before I was able to get too far ahead I spotted the rest of the Cullen clan. Without even a second thought I ran forward and hugged Esme.

"Bella, you have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you for bringing my son back to me."

"It was no big deal, I'm just glad we got there in time." I pulled away from the hug and looked around to everyone else. Japer and Alice were already saying their hello's and Carlisle and Edward were off with their backs turned to us talking about something.

"Um, Esme. If you don't mind I need to go make a call so someone can pick me up." I didn't want to have the awkward drive home with Edward.

"Don't be silly Bella, Rosalie and Emmett are outside waiting with the cars, we can drive you home." Esme was smoothing my hair down and looking nervously over at Edward.

"That's alright I think my dad would want to know that I'm back. I'll be lucky if he ever lets me leave the house again. I'll leave your family alone."

"Bella, you will always be a part of our family. You're like a daughter to me."

"Thanks Esme. Tell everyone I said bye." Esme let me walk away as I headed to the pay phones. The first call I made was to Charlie letting him know that I was back, he sounded upset to say the least, but he was willing to come pick me up.

The next call was to Jacob. I told him I was home and that everything was fine. He sounded sad on the phone and that hurt. I knew that I was the reason that he was in pain and that was killing me.

"Jake, I'm so sorry for leaving you like that. But I'm back now and nothing has changed."

"Everything's changed Bella. Their back aren't they." Jacob was speaking no louder then a whisper.

"Yes their back, but that doesn't mean that I'm back with them." Of course by that I meant back with Edward, we both knew that.

"It doesn't matter Bella, as long as their back the treaty's back in play. That means we're going to have to be on our guard." Jacob was getting upset, I could tell by the shaking in his voice.

"Jake, I promise that nothing will change between us. Slave for life up for grabs here." Throwing that out there might just make him calm down.

"I don't know Bella, we'll have to see how things play out. I have to go warn the pack. Bye Bella." Jake hung up the phone before I even had the chance to say bye.

As I but the phone back on the receiver I caught an all to familiar smell behind me. It was the smell that I'd been longing to be near for so long, yet now it sent a wave of hatred through me. I was really not in the mood to deal with him, so I acted like he wasn't even there. As I pushed my way past him, I could feel my heart breaking all over again. He was right there within my reach, yet for the first time in a long time, I didn't need to touch him, feel him, be near him. I needed to do the exact opposite. I needed to get away from him.

I could sense that he wanted to talk to me, but I had not need to talk to him. Instead I walked strait toward Alice and hugged her goodbye.

"Thank you Alice. I'll see you tomorrow at school, right."

"Yeah Bella. Are you sure you don't want me to give you a ride home."

"No thanks I already called Charlie, he's on his way here. I should probably go out and wait for him." I gave Alice and quick hug then turned to walk out of the airport.

Edward grabbed my arm before I was able to leave. "Bella, we need to talk." His voice sounded distressed.

"Why would I want to talk to you Edward?" I was holding back tears.

"You came to save me, I just wanted to thank you, and beg for your forgiveness. Bella, I love you, and I don't think I can stand to be apart from you for another minute." With that Edward pulled me closer to him and held in a bone crushing hug that reminded me of Jake.

"I only went to Italy to stop you from making a mistake. Do you have any idea what that would have done to your family?" I was struggling to get free from him, but he was having none of that.

"I've already heard that from all of them. Even Rose is sorry. But Bella you're the only one I care about. It is killing me to not know what you're thinking." He slowly released his grip on me enough to look at my face.

"Edward, let me go. If you really cared about me at all you wouldn't have left in the first place. Just because you're back now it doesn't mean that I'm going to act like nothing has changed." I had stopped struggling to get free from him, knowing that all of my strength put together would not do any good.

"Bella, I'm so sorry for leaving you, I will never be able to forgive myself for that, but that doesn't change the fact that I love you."

"And that doesn't change what you did." Edward released his hold on me when I said that and I quickly turned to head outside.

When I got outside I saw that the cruiser was already waiting for me. Charlie was outside leaning against the door with his arms folded over his chest, glairing at me.

"You have no idea how much trouble you are in." His face had turned a shade of light purple as he was trying to hold back all of his anger.

"I know dad, can we just go home, you can punish me there." I was not in the mood to get yelled at my Charlie well the entire Cullen clan was watching.

"Charlie, I'm sorry that I took Bella way from you, if you are to be angry at anyone, please be angry with me." Edward had appeared out of now where. His velvet voice cutting the hole in my insides deeper.

"You bet I'll be angry at you. I can't believe that you have the stones to show your face around here again. I don't want you anywhere near my daughter again. Bella get in the car now." Charlie turned an even deeper shade of purple.

"Don't worry dad, I have no intention of seeing Edward ever again." With that I took the final steps toward Charlie and climbed in the car. As we pulled away from the airport I saw the Cullen's, the family that I once longed to be a part of, disappear.
