( Sorry that I haven't been updating quicker than I usually would but for the past couple days I wasn't really in the right mood for writing. But then again I'm snowed in so I cant really get out to play that much. But I hope you guys are happy with this chapter. I will inform you if I cant or mite not be able to update as soon I want to. The one downer is that since I'm snowed in I'm having trouble getting Christmas presents for people. Sad I know lol. But anyway there's chapter seven! Xx)

Truth

I was not worried any more about telling Elena about the Cullen's. It was unexpected but not shocking when I found out about Stefan and Damon. They looked inhuman and breathtakingly beautiful just like the Cullen's. The most beautiful to me was probably Stefan's older brother Damon. I don't know why but he just is.

Elena guided me into a sunshine coloured room, with a huge white double bed placed inbetween two windows on the west wall. A pure white bookcase with books galore standing next to a white door, leading to a bathroom shared between two rooms. And there was a rocking chair placed in front of a huge window, looking out to the front garden. Just like my bedroom in forks.

The thought of forks made my eyes start to tear up, but why was I still crying? Had I become a person who cries at something that's just the smallest bit hurtful to me? No! I couldn't become thatperson no matter what. I was strong I could make it through this.

Elena sat down on the right hand side of the bed and patted on the opposite side motioning me to sit down beside her. I walked over slowly trying to get as much time as I needed to think of how to start without crying. But I didn't need time I was ready…. I think.

I sat down carefully trying to make as little noise as I could. Elena never took her eyes of me probably because she could tell I had water in my eyes. I was trying to avoid eye contract, I knew that she could see right through me no matter how hard I tried to hide. I felt her hand touch mine and squeeze it gentlely making me look up at her.

" Bella what ever it is that's troubling you, just tell me. I won't judge you no matter what it is." Elena smiled at me. I knew it was true… I was safe here. Elena would never judge me she was my best friend after all. She had the guts to tell me that her currant boyfriend and his brother were vampires, I could do the same in return for her.

" Well….I ummmyou remember the… the um…Cullen's." the last word came out in a whisper.

Elena looked confused for a second but then she understood. She then lifted my head up with her free hand and looked into my eyes. Well that did it. I could feel something wet slowly fall from my eye and roll down my cheek. That was the only tear I would shed in front of Elena. The rest would be held back for now.

Elena stared at the tear and wiped it away in one quick movement. She then nodded yes when I looked more stable and ready. I took one deep breath calming myself down and turned to her.

" I well they left." breath. " and so did he." breath. " about seven months ago."

Elena unexpectedly pulled me into a tight hug and stoked my hair softly. It reminded me of the way Edward used to hug me but somehow it was something more. Elena pulled me back and looked at me with worried eyes.

" Did he break up with you." I nodded. Her eyes had only two emotions in them. Sadness probably for me and… anger I think.

" Well he doesn't deserve you. He's idiot for dumping you and he'll ever find anybody better than you." I was surprised that she could say that. I always thought it was the other way around I didn't deserve him. But she did make some sense.

Elena kept going on about how he was stupid and how he wasn't worthy of me. That was the easiest part to tell her but here comes the hardest part…well for me anyway.

I put my hand on her mouth to stop her talking for a second. She stopped instantly and looked at me in confusion.

" But that's not all I wanted to tell you about him." I'd had enough of waiting it was now or ever.

" You know what Damon and Stefan are." Elena's eyes went huge.

I never felt comfortable talking about someone else behind their back. Even the Cullen's. Only because they were not a thing like humans had thought vampires would have been like.

" So they were…" I nodded not sure if I should speak or not. She was silent for a while not looking at me. She stared at the walls and bookshelf for a minute or two. But it was not awkward or comforting. But just the fact that she had to think it over make in seem alright.

" How long did you know?" she whispered. I didn't know how to respond. But did it really matter how long I knew. Would it affect how she felt about it. But I promised myself two things, one I would ever lie to Elena again and two don't cry myself to sleep or cry at all while I'm here.

" I knew about a week after meeting him." she sighed and turned to me.

Her eyes held no emotions she was like a statue. I was regretting telling her. Though I was relieved just to have someone other than a vampire or werewolf know the secret of the Cullen's.

"Well Bella…I'm a little hurt that you didn't tell me sooner. But I promised I wouldn't judge you soooo….I understand."

I practically jumped into Elena's arms after she spoke. She had gave me the most wonderful news I'd ever heard since I'd arrived. She hugged me back with the same happiest and excitement as I had.

We held on to each other for what seemed like a year to me. But I didn't want it to end…never.

Suddenly a rumbling noise came from both me and Elena's stomach's. We laughed for a minute and headed downstairs for something to eat.

I was surprised to see Stefan and Damon were still there in the living room with Jeremy. Damon and Jeremy were playing a game on the wii while Stefan watched them.

I looked more closely at Damon while we walked to the kitchen. I was quite fascinated by him. His style seemed more bad boyish than his little brother. I was still shocked by the way he welcomed me into the neighbourhood. But if I'm completely honest I was quite flattered.

Me and Elena found some left over pizza in the fridge. To my surprised Elena took three big slices while I had two small slices. Well she was really hungry then I guess.

Somehow the only drinks left in the fridge were four beer cans. I wasn't really a fan of beer it tasted very sour to me. But since I had no choice I took one as Elena had. We decided to sit with the boys seeing that there was plenty of space on the couch.

Elena sat down next to Stefan and I sat next to her and Jeremy. Damon and Jeremy were playing Mario cart and I must say they were very competitive.

" I'm gonna totally wipe you Damon you don't stand a chance." Jeremy yelled excitedly. He may be older but he's still the little boy who would have a tantrum if he didn't get what he wanted.

" Well how about we make it interesting if your soo confident." Damon suggested jokily. Jeremy was acting very cocky and smug now. He was a very good player as I recall but not the best.

" You're on! If I win then you're not allowed to be mean or insult anyone for a whole week." Damon smiled at his excitement.

" Alright and if you lose then I get a hundred dollars." Damon and Jeremy shook hands and both had the same smug smile on their faces. They seemed very confident.

Me and Elena didn't say a word as we ate the game was too entertaining. In the end the one who won was Jeremy. Once he's crossed the finish line he jumped off the couch and start to run around the living room like he'd won the world cup.

Damon was surprisingly not angry or wanting a rematch. He went down like a gentlemen I must say.

After that we talked about the high school I would be going to and who of Elena's friends she wanted me to meet. The whole conversation was a blur until Jeremy asked. " So Bella do anything exciting up in Forks?"

I didn't know what to say. Their eyes were focused on me making me feel sheepish. Should I tell them?

The question echoed through my head over a hundred times. I wasn't sure if I was ready to tell the rest of them. Hadn't I told enough people for one night?

They were still waiting for me to answer. I decided to tell them that I had a boyfriend but not all the little tiny details.

" I umm had my first boyfriend but other than that not much." Jeremy's grin widened.

" Well well it seems our little Bella finally got over that boys have cooties." Jeremy tensed.

" Well Jeremy at least I can get a date." I shot back.

Jeremy stood up picked up the plates and walked to the kitchen. As he walked behind me he stopped and ruffled my hair. Elena laughed and brushed her fingers through my hair.

Jeremy sat back down and started to flip through the channels. While he was still flipping through he said. " So how is prince charming."

I really hoped that he wouldn't want to know a lot about my boyf… ex. But Jeremy being Jeremy he would want to know exactly what you didn't want to talk about.

Though I didn't want to talk anymore about him, some part of me was confident that I should tell them. But that amount of confidence was not enough for me to tell the full truth of the Cullen clan. Even though they had broken the promise of staying with me. I was not the revenge type of girl.

" He and his family decided to move away because his dad got a job offer. Edward wanted to have a long distance relationship but I said it would hurt to much. Not seeing him you know. So I broke it of with him. It was….hard but dating is dating. It didn't seem real to me…it was too good, too magical. I knew something bad would happen though I tried to ignore it. But life goes on. I'm here now like he always said time heals all wounds." I lied.

It hurt to say that I was the one who broke our relationship off. But it wasn't a total lie. I had told myself time and time again that it was my fault. That I should had reacted sooner when I cut my finger. But would it have made a difference?

The room was so silent that you could have probably heard a pin drop. Everything that should have made a noise was covered in a cloud of quiet. I looked at everyone faces.

Elena's was stocked, Jeremy's was raged, Stefan's was blank and Damon looked like he was in pain. I was more confused at Damon than anybody else. Why would he be in pain? After all we just meet about thirty minutes ago. The silence was interrupted by a sudden bang going from the door.

Jenna came in carrying five shopping bags filled to the brim with clothes. Talk about shop till you drop. She dropped one of the bags on the floor by accident and lifted her head to us.

" Oh let me help you Jenna those bags look quite heavy."

I instantly got up out of my seat and started to take some of her bags off of her. I was hoping to find some way to get out of the living room as soon as possible.

"Thank you Bella." Jenna said to the others while walking behind me. I faked a laugh. I wasn't very convincing but Jenna didn't seem to notice.

"Alright who wants pizza." Jenna yelled.

I looked over at the clock it was just past six, and yet I wanted to go to my bed right now. So I lied again and said I felt a little sick after the flight. I asked if I could go up to my room and try and get some sleep. Jenna agreed and showed me to my room.

The room was not fancy or dull. The paint was the same colour as Elena's room and had the same type of double bed in the corner. There was a dressing table and closet across from the bed. To my stock and excitement I had my very own bathroom all to myself. Jenna said to call if I needed anything, I thanked her and next thing I knew I was all alone in the darkness.
