Chapter 17

Welcome home

Bella's pov:

I could barley see in front of me, tears were falling from my eyes. My mothers broken heart, my sisters loss, my brothers pain, my fathers hurt and my Edwards grief. I knew that what I was doing is killing them now but if I stay it would literally kill them and myself in the process. Where would I go? I know that I hadn't thought this through. I had enough money for now and I had my car, which of course I hardly ever used but it was mine, my only downfall was my age at 16 what would I do? I thank Emmet now for the fake ID's he got me during the past summer, it states im 18, an adult. Where am I heading? I have no friends, I barley remember Forks and I've only just started school. I could stay here, in Forks I mean and stay at school. My parents would know I'm safe and I could show them I'm happy and save them from worrying. My bags were packed and I looked at my room for the last time and headed downstairs. The living room was as lonely as I felt at the moment. I went straight to the garage where Rosalie was waiting by my car. She grabbed my bags off me and put them in the boot.

"Bella I understand what you're doing. I'm not here to make you stay, I just had to say goodbye. I love you little sister" I was crying enough tears for both of us. I hugged her, got in the car and drove on to pasture new.

I was circling Forks for hours, I passed the B&B countless times, I just couldn't stop. I started to get hungry and decided the best course of action would be to eat. I parked outside a small cafe which was open until late and went in, I ordered the first thing I saw and slumped down into my misery. I looked on as twilight swept across the town. Faces and people passed and I was still in a trance. I might be unhappy but it's for the best, the people I love get to live.

"Bella" I jumped at the familiar voice.

"Jacob" I answered acknowledging he was there.

"I'm so sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to.." he saw my red face and stained cheeks "Bella whats wrong?" His concern was genuine and reminding me of my lost family. I looked at him unable to answer, I left the money on the table and fled from there. I was close to breaking down and falling to pieces on the streets of Forks when two arms wrapped around me holding me together, the arm's were warm.

"Jacob, I can't.." I stuttered through bursts of tears

"It's okay, what happened? Tell me? You can trust me!" his voice was soothing me. Im in the arms of a werewolf and somehow felt safe.

"lets go for a walk" It was starting to get dark, what an eventful day how do I explain it to a practical stranger. I woke up with my vampire family whilst madly in love with Edward Cullen, I went to school had an argument with Edward stormed off, met Jacob, Edward then whisked me off to my a place where my dreams are set, he confessed his love for me and I confessed my love for him, Alice had a vision of my death, Edward refused to change me to save me, I headed to La Push for a distraction and found that most the population are wolves including Jacob, went home and I left my whole family for their safety. Thus creating the shell of the person I am now walking with a werewolf, who I'm spilling my guts to. Like I said eventful day.

"Come home with me, we were practically family once. My father would be over the moon to have you under our roof" Sure leave one monster for anther one. I was lost and vaunrable and when the word family was said, I caved,

"Okay" I mumbled and we headed for my car. La Push here we come.

Jacob's pov:

When Bella first walked through my door my dad Billy almost fell out of his wheelchair. If he were able to run he would of, straight at the girl. I was shocked at her earlier outburst but the draw I felt towards her got stronger. She told me that me being a wolf didn't bother her! That the leech that had tricked her to love him told her that we were safe.

"Bella, Bella welcome home!" He screamed at her. I phoned my dad when Bella was filling the car up with gas and to say his supported the idea he would be an understatement. Billy took it the hardest when Charlie died, He was his best friend. When Bella was adopted it was painful for him, he and my mother would of taken her in without a doubt, but when he found out the Cullen's had adopted her it almost killed him. When my Mother died in a similar car accident to the one Charlie died in, it brought back all his hate. When we got word of the Cullen's return to forks, Billy was very eager to see Bella and help her discover her 'true' family as he calls it. It was hard at first when I first Phased my dad had other priorities for that time and now he was ready to embrace Bella back into our lives.

Bella sat in our tiny living room listening to all of Billys forced stories to polite not to listen at one point I though I saw her smile. She slept in my room and I was on the sofa. I could hear her tossing and turning, crying in her sleep and calling out names. She was having nightmares, I felt completely useless.

Edward's pov:

The first night with a heart beat in the house. It was deadly silent apart from the tearless sobs of my sisters and mother. We all agreed to act normal for Bella's sake. We would go to school and keep up the human charade. Bella had phoned Esme last night to explain she was safe and will still attend school and is staying local. This gave me some comfort apart from the fact Alice couldn't see her future any more. Carlisle suggested that she could be avoiding Alice's sight in a similar way I can't hear her thoughts, maybe she unconsciously cut of from us because she doesn't want to be found at the moment.

I got dressed ready for school. The thoughts flowing from Rose and Emmet hadn't changed much from last night, Rose still blaming me and Emmet still creating ways to restrain me from stopping me let him change her. Alice was unusually quiet and trying hard to see a future that no longer existed to us and Jasper was catching everyones feelings and was 7 times as worse than anyone else.

We arrived at school all now fitting in the Volvo and caught Bella's car parked 4 spaces up. She would be her, but would school change now? I could catch snips of her scent but I couldn't make out what was diluting it. I headed for homeroom whilst listening to others minds trying to pin point Bella, I found her in Jessica Stanley's mind. she looked tired and lost. The lights were on but no one was home. I didn't realise my smashed up heart could break anymore. Where had she stayed last night? None of the minds I trespassed in gave me any clues. This is what SHE wants I told myself. I followed her all day, her face hardly ever changed. She didn't smile or laugh and none of her new friends noticed her pain. Then there was a girl Angela Webber who sat next to Bella and asked her if she was okay? Bella looked up at her, so pitiful and nodded. Angela hugged her and told her she was there for her no matter what. I was greatly thankful to this girl.

Lunch time had approached as normal we would wait by Alice's locker for all of us to arrive, I was the last one there. All their thoughts were on Bella, should we wait for her? I caught her scent the same time as the other 4 did. She was walking side by side with Jessica and Mike, She smiled towards us but made no effort to stop. Then it hit me her scent, the other smell, I wrinkled my nose in distaste.

Werewolf.
