A/N: I'm glad that everyone seemed to like how I wrote the Cullens. In this chapter you will get see Alice and Emmett's meeting with Isabella. Hope you all like it.

I was fuming. How dare Edward think he still has a claim to Bella after what happened when she woke up? He's a selfish prick. He doesn't care about anyone, but himself. He claims to love her, but she is just a possession for him to own. I sigh. The bell announcing the end of lunch would be ringing in two minutes, so I decided I would head to class. I started to make my way to my sixth period, which was art.

As I walked into the classroom, I became aware that I was not alone. A single student sat in the desk closest to the door. She had long dark chocolate hair, and she sat so still you would think she was a statue. She did not even breathe. I knew exactly who it was. It was Bella. She made no indication that she knew I was there, though I know she did. I stood there just looking at her. Drinking in her profile. I was nervous how this would go. I hope I can convince her to forgive. I would be her slave for life if she would just forgive me.

"Are you finished staring, Alice?" Her beautiful voice cut through the silence in the room. I jumped; somewhat startled that she spoke to me first.

"I'm sorry." My voice was laced with regret. Not for the staring, but for everything.

"Is that all you Cullens can say? That you're sorry? Sorry doesn't fix anything Alice. Sorry doesn't take away the pain or betrayal. You all betrayed me. Even you, my supposed best friend. Tell me Alice. Was I ever anything more than a foolish human to you and your family?" Her voice was bitter, and she had yet to turn around to face me.

"Of course you were Isabella." Rose and Jazz had told me that she preferred Isabella now.

"I see you have been talking about me with your siblings." She chuckled darkly. I didn't like it. I wanted to hear her carefree laughter that I remembered. "What else did they tell you? Did they mention they could not smell me? Did they mention that I am no longer the naïve human you left behind? That your precious Bella no longer exists?"

"I refuse to believe that my Bella is gone." I whispered. I realized my mistake too late. She turned to face me with dark eyes. Her jaw was clenched in anger.

"How dare you think you have a claim over me? You do not have the right to call me your Bella any more than your brother does." Her caustic voice sliced into my heart. I felt my eyes fog with tears that would never fall. She was right. I had no claim to her. I looked away hoping she would not see the tears. I heard her sigh before I heard her sweet voice wash over my ears once again.

"I'm sorry Alice. I should not take my anger at your brother out on you. However, you should know that I am still very angry with you."

I was so surprised that she actually apologized I could not respond. I looked back towards her, but she was once again turned away from me. Why did she apologize? She had a right to be angry at my family and I. The bell ran, snapping me out of my thoughts. I took the desk next to Bella, since I knew none of the humans would dare sit by us. Their instinct told them we were dangerous, that we were the predators and they were our prey. I glanced at her from the corner of my eye. She was absently drawing on her notebook. I was hit with a wave of nostalgia as I remembered seeing her do this as a human.

I noticed that she was still not breathing, but was pretending to. She must have spent time in the human world this last century, but why was she not breathing? I know she hunts humans, but she must have impeccable control if she was willing to go to school. I thought back to when she was actually looking at me and I realized that her eyes had not been the odd purple color Rose and Jazz had told me about. They had been much darker. Meaning her eyes were black under the blue contacts. I wonder why.

I lowered my voice to where the humans would not hear, since the teacher had just come bustling into the room and began the usual first day speech.

"Would you like to come over after school? I know Carlisle and Esme would love to see you. They've missed you. We all have. Especially me." I whispered the last part so quietly I would be surprised if she even heard me. From the way her body tightened I would guess she did.

"I don't know if that would be the best idea." Her voice had lost some of the edge it had had earlier.

"Please? Give us a chance Isabella. Give us a chance to prove that we still love you, because whether you want to believe it or not, we do." I was begging and I didn't care one bit. If it got Bella to come over then I would grovel at her feet for eternity. I was hopelessly and irrevocably in love with Isabella Swan, and I always had been. I always will be.

"No." Her answer was short, simple, and cut my heart into a thousand pieces.

"Fine. If you won't come for that, then you must come to speak with Carlisle as the leader of the coven. This is our territory, and you are encroaching upon it." I hated to do it, but if it was the only way to get her to come over then so be it.

Her expression was emotionless as she turned to face me.

"Fine. I shall be there shortly after school to speak with him." She looked back to her drawing, only to slam the notebook shut. I wonder what she drew to get that reaction from her. I failed to mention that Carlisle would not be home till five, two hours after school let out.

I tried to make conversation throughout the period, but she did not say another word for the remainder of the hour. When the bell rang she simply made her way out of the class before I could possibly stop her. I watched her leave. She was beautiful, even from behind. She was wearing skin tight black skinny jeans that hugged her curves in all the right places, a form fitting shirt that told of her sexuality, and black combat boots. She was carrying a leather jacket in her hand as well. I sighed before I found myself being spun around in a giant bear hug. Emmett.

"Hey short stuff. You ready for gym?" He asked while he flung me over his shoulder.

"I am not short! Don't make me give you a wedgie Em." I threatened.

"Right. You're just vertically challenged. So on a more serious note, have you seen Bells?" He set me back on my own feet.

"Yeah. I just had art with her. She's not too happy with our family at the moment Emmett." A serious and sad Emmett was a rare thing to see, but ever since we left Bella he has become more serious. A sad Emmett is a sad world.

"Yeah. I kind of figured she wouldn't be, and she has every right to be mad at us." A small pout crept onto his face at the thought.

"Come on, you big goof. Let's get to gym." I made my voice bright and cheerful just to see him smile.

"Alright shorty. Let's go show these humans how it's done." His smile was nowhere near as big and goofy as it used to be, but it's a start.

A/N: Chapter 7 is complete. Review and let me know what you think. Thank you to SecretSuck for the "A sad Emmett is a sad world" quote. I just couldn't resist using it after I read your review. Thank you to everyone who reviewed, and even if you didn't thank you for reading my story. Em's POV will be in the next chapter, so don't worry about not getting to see it.
