Older Grandpa

Chapter Seven

Bella's P.O.V.

"Okay uhm Alice truth or dare?" Rosalie asked.

"Come on Rose no," Alice said covering her face with her hands.

"Alice just pick," Rosalie said sounding bored.

"I am not answering that question," she said turning away.

"Then by default you choose dare," Rosalie said with a smug look.

"Please Rose don't make me do that," she screamed.

"What is she going to dare you to do Alice?" Jasper said squeezing her.

"I am going to dare Alice to eat the next meal Esme makes," she laughed.

"Wait I thought vampires didn't eat," I accused.

"Oh we don't thats why I dared Alice to eat Esme's next meal, also because they will be home in five minutes." Oh I thought. Wait They are going to be home in five minutes?

"How did you know that?" I asked.

"Esme and Carlisle always come home two hours early," she laughed.

"Actually they will be back in five minutes and forty eight seconds," Alice corrected her.

"Whatever," Rosalie said stomping off.

"Hey babe wait up," Emmett called running after her.

I don't know what was going on around me but I spaced out until I heard Edward whisper, "remember don't tell Esme and Carlisle," and then the door opening and closing.

"Hey kids were back early," Esme said coming into the family room, I was still sitting on the floor, "Bella sweety are you okay? I mean I know vampires don't need to breath and all."

I was in a daze, totally unaware until she touched my shoulder, I hissed turning, bearing my teeth and pinning her against the wall.

"Ahh..." Esme screamed.

I immediatly covered my mouth and let go of her just staring at her, her staring back.

"I- I am so sorry Esme," I can't believe I just did that.

"Woah dude what did I miss?" Emmett said coming into the room.

"I- I don't know," Esme stuttered.

"Esme what happened are you all right?" Carlisle said pulling her hand away from her throat.

"I am not quite sure," she said breaking her gaze from me to Carlisle, "one minute I was asking Bella if she was okay, and the next I was pinned against the wall," by now everyone was in the room, just staring at me.

"I- I," I couldn't get any other sound out of my mouth so I bolted for the door and out into the forest.

I ran into the middle of the forest not thinking of where I was going, I ran until I felt I was far enough away from the house, and just sat in the middle of a field. I looked around, this was the baseball field, the same field I first met James, the same field the newborns fought, the same field I met Bree, the same field I protected all the family and friends against the volturi. All of these very near death experiences, and yet so many good ones, because I was with Edward, and Alice, and Emmett, and Jasper, even Rosalie, and Carlisle, and... Esme.

I am never going to forgive myself for doing that to Esme even though I know she will forgive me.

I sat there for what could have been minutes, or hours, days, or even weeks. I wasn't conserned though, I was comfortable. I didn't move the whole time, it hurt too much not physically but emotionally. I didn't even realize anyone was coming until they tapped my shoulder and quickly jumped back. I calmly lifted my head to see Esme.

"Esme?" I choked, "Is that you?"

"Bella sweety you have been out here for three days, no one could find you and Alice wouldn't tell us where you were. She even managed to keep it from Edward," Wait THREE days.

"Oh Esme, I am so sorry," I tearlessly sobbed into her shoulder.

"Bella, it's okay. It's not your fault I caught you off guard. No one blames you," she said rubbing my arms.

"There is one person," I said pulling back to look at her.

"Who?" she asked.

"I do Esme. You took me in as your own, you are my mother and you always will be, forever," I stared into her eyes as mine started to burn.

"Honey there is no reason for you to blame yourself, you are still a new born any way. If you were like all the other new borns I knew includin myself, you would have ripped my head off, before jumping away," we sat there very still just staring into the others eyes until we heard Carlisle.

"Esme honey is that you?" he called walking out from behind a tree.

He looked at me probably checking if it was really me.

"Hi Carlisle," I said.

"Bella where have you been, we haven't seen you for three days," he exclaimed rapping his arms around me.

"To tell the truth I have been right here the whole time," I hugged him back.

With that we headed back home. When I got there I was welcomed like I had been gone an eternity.

"Esme is making breakfast for Nessie and Jacob and the pack, first time since you left," Rosalie said hugging me.

"Renesmee!" I exclaimed pulling back.

"Don't worry Bella she's fine, she is sleeping right now." Edward said laughing

"Edward!" I ran into his arms, I could stay there for an eternity.

"Daddy, I'm thirsty," I heard Renesmee call from upstairs.

"Okay Nessie I'll be right up," he called to her.

He got her cup ready and handed it to me, "Bella love I think you should take it to her, she has really missed you," he smiled at me.

So I took the cup up to Edwards old room and opened the door, as soon as she saw me Renesmee got up yelling "Mommy your home!" and jumping into my arms causing me to spill her cup of blood, I held my breath.

I could hear Alice yelling for Jasper to calm down and then it hit me I inhaled to yell for someone to help and the burn went crazy, I screamed dropping Renesmee and crunching into a ball on the floor.

Then after I was going crazy over he blood I heard it, the absolute worst sound in the world my baby crying in pain. This some how snapped me out of the trance for the blood and I was on the bed Renesmee in my arms comforting her.

"Shh, shh Renesmee everything is going to be okay, it's all okay," and so on and so forth.
