Chapter Three

As soon as I got outside I leant against the wall and took some unnecessary deep breaths. That had to have been the hardest thing I had had to do since becoming a vampire. Seeing them all again, my heart has hurt just as much as when they had left.

Telling them about my past, I felt as though I was back to being my 17 year old self again. When they were my friends, my family. But they weren't either. Not anymore. Even after Alice's and Edward's pathetic attempts at trying to win me back. I saw what they were trying to do, they just want information from me. Well now they had it they could leave me alone again. This time for good.

I heard the door of the cafeteria open and knew who was approaching me: Alice. "What do you want Alice?" I asked bitterly.

"To see if you were ok even if you don't believe me you're still my best friend."

"Well why did you leave me then?" I snapped.

"Because my brother asked me do, we all thought it was for the best we didn't want to be responsible for your death."

"Well it turned out that you were the cause of my death anyway, so good plan!" I said sarcastically.

"You think we're not hurting too, that all of us weren't affected by our choice? You're my best friend, my second sister. I didn't want to leave you, I hated leaving you. I wasn't myself after we left you. None of us were. I had to train myself not to see visions of you because it hurt that much to see you.

That's why I didn't see Victoria. I'm sorry for what we did to you, I really am. But a part of me is glad we left because it turned you into what you are now and if you let us we can start again. Please Bella?"

"Alice, I kind of understand why you guys left but I don't understand his reasons. I can't change the past no matter what and I wouldn't want to even if I could, because you're right, your leaving did do this to me and I'm thankful for that. I'm not saying this situation will be easy but I'm willing to try. I've missed you too."

Alice hugged me then and I'm pretty sure, had we been able, we would both be crying.

"I've got so much to tell you, and I bet you have to. Listen you should come round tonight and we can talk."

"Alice, I can't I don't want to see him more than I have to right now. Why don't you come round mine after school? I live in a house a few miles from the river near your old house."

"That would be great. But you'll have to come round at some time, Esme and Carlisle will want to see you again."

"Ok. Do you want a lift back to mine or will you run over?"

"I kind of like the idea of getting a lift on your bike," she said a grin on her face, "I'll meet you by your bike after Gym. You may want to start to your next lesson; the bells about to go." Sure enough the bell rang a second later. I laughed and moved to go to my next lesson.

"By the way Bella," I turned to see what Alice wanted, "Edward's in your next class and you're going to sit next to each other. Just to warn you."

"Thanks Alice," I muttered, irritated at the thought of another lesson with him. I swung my bag onto my shoulder and stormed in the direction of my next class.
