Ello!
I am having an absolutely horrible week.

Really, it's been awful.

But now I'm starting to write some more chapters and I feel happy again. This chapter's pitifully short but I'm uploading the next one right after I'm finished here and it's much, much longer.

I loved your reviews; they pretty much made my day again. I found two main categories:

The 'Ok. No. Why did you cliffhanger it? WHY!?!?!?!?!'s

And

The 'I'm happy now, can't wait for more's.

I loved both even though my sister had a fit reading the first ones. She couldn't believe I'd gotten so many people interested in a story until I showed her and she flipped out.

Oh and I've set up a poll:

Should Jacob Black make a reappearance in 'Too late for Sorry'? Keeping in mind that I'm sitting on a nice little stack of imprint stories I'm starting to write?

I think that's it.

Except for the fact that I've changed Bella's last name to Sparrow. Just realised that it would raise questions if Bella Swan suddenly appeared, when they were having a Swan Mystery Hunt. Anyway.

Onwards!!!!
T.r.e.s.s B.l.u.e.s

Chapter 14. We leave now.

It was sort of strange how silent everything was after we exited school. For our coven at least. As the other human students flipped out, the Sparrows, Draculas and Matthews all piled into the one car and headed home in utter speechlessness.

Everyone was silent in the car ride.

Everyone was silent as we entered the house.

And then all hell broke loose.

"WHO THE HELL WERE THEY?" Max fumed, turning his eyes to me. I steadily ignored him and set about packing things away.

"Bella, tell us, we need to know about them. Is it going to turn to a fight?" Andrew asked but I didn't even listen. All I could think was that I needed to leave. Now. Everyone started asking questions, all at the same time. It was easier to ignore them that way, surprisingly.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! ANSWER US!" I turned to Vee out of pure shock, she was staring at me with a look of pain and sympathy. "Bella we need to know." She added, softer. I shook my head and went back to packing. I swept through my room and then the twins, picking everything up and putting it into the moving boxes.

How could this happen? They weren't supposed to be here! I knew that my outrage over their appearance was just to hide their reactions. His reactions. It hurt my already battered heart that Edward hadn't shown even the slightest recollection of me. I felt dry sobs rip from my chest as I packed.

I was in the middle of taping up one of my boxes when suddenly Chen's hand gripped my wrist tightly. I looked up, my face pained. "We need to go. Please don't fight me on this." I whispered, brokenly. Chen wrapped his arms around me like the brother I never had and I sobbed uselessly into his chest. It felt nice to have Chen for support. He was my rock. I used to joke that he was my vampiric Jacob but joking was the last thing I wanted to do now. I felt useless and broken. I couldn't even hold it together for my family. I was pathetic.

"It's okay Bells. It's okay." He whispered softly. I don't remember how long it took for my chest to stop ripping and simply throb dully but it was darker when I stopped. Vee and Andrew looked at me with identical, sympathetic expressions whilst Jenna looked a little shocked at my sobs. I never cried in front of them if I could help it. Max stood at the window, glaring into the east where the school was.

"Bella?" Vee whispered. I turned to her with a tired face. "That was them wasn't it? The Cullens?"

The name sent a ripple of pain over my heart but I shook it off and nodded. "That was them Vee. Please, let's move away. I don't think-" I had to take a breath although it did nothing to relieve the pain. "I don't think I can live through this."

Andrew nodded. "Well at least we know they're peaceful. That's a good sign." Andrew was something of a military man when he was human. "Should we negotiate? It'll be difficult finding a town with the right amount of cloud cover this time of year."

I shook my head, my hands still gripped around Chen's upper arms. "No. I don't want interaction with them." I replied, softly.

Max growled and we turned to him shocked. "It's all their fault!" he snapped. "They're pitiful excuses for living creatures after they what they did! We should make them pay for it!" Max's anger shocked me. I found myself shaking my head. Amazing, after everything, I can still defend them.

"Max, it wasn't like that. The Cullens…Edward," I hesitated on the name, "gave me so much. It never made sense for him to love me. I was apparently destined to be entwined with mythological creatures because when he left, I became closer with Jacob and the werewolves. I can't blame him for doing exactly what was expected of him. I was human, it was better that he continued life with someone who wouldn't wither away." I explained. Max shook his head.

"It's still their fault Bella. They shouldn't have left you like that. It wasn't fair. It isn't fair now." He protested.

"Regardless, I still want to leave. I can't take seeing him again and…and still feeling these things for him." I replied, thickly. My coven, my family nodded and disappeared upstairs to pack. But before they left, Jenna gave me a slightly knowing look which made me think that they had a hidden agenda.

I didn't look into it too much. I simply sat on the couch with Chen for a while, letting my chest break to pieces with memories of them.
