Chapter 4

Confessions

Previously on Hushed Dreams

I was looking down at the notebook in my hands when I heard a familiar voice.

"Hello my name is-" My head snapped up to see the closest people I had to me as sisters.

"Alice? Rosalie?" I questioned, not believing my eyes.

"Bella?"

BPOV

My heart began racing. What was I going to tell them?

"Umm...hi guys," I said quietly.

"Hi? Is that all we get after not seeing you for about 6 months?" Alice yelled, grabbing me into a tight hug.

"Still human here...can't breath!" Has Emmett been teaching her how to give bear hugs?

"I'm sorry I just haven't seen you in so long. What have you been up to? Besides lying to the whole family about where you have been..."

I felt like I was going to cry. How was I going to tell them my secret?

"I'm sorry you guys. I've been wanting to tell all of you guys about this but..."I trailed off.

"But what, Bella?" Rosalie asked, speaking for the first time.

"I didn't know if everyone was going to except me the way I am, in all of this fame and fortune."

"Bella, I don't get why you would think that! We love you no matter what. So what if you're famous. You're Bella, our sister, daughter, and the love of Edward's life, that's all the matters," Rosalie said. I stood there, just stunned. This is coming from someone who pretty much hates me. And she said "we"!

"I know I've been a real bitch to you, but all I was doing was trying to protect my brother. I wanted to make sure that he never gets hurt by a selfish person. And I'm not afraid to admit that I did miss you when we left you, Bella. My point is that I'm extremely sorry that I have been acting the way I have. Can you ever forgive me?"

"Of course, Rosalie."

"My family calls me Rose, Bella," she said to me, smiling.

"So what's your story Bella?" Alice asked

"What do you mean?"

"How did you end up in Forks?"

"Well, my cover story was what everyone else knows but it's time you guys as my family, hear the real deal. The real reason why I came to Forks was to hide out. I wanted to get away from the spotlight, I wanted to feel and be like an average teenager. I wanted to school, have a regular job. The whole bit. To be honest I didn't even mean to pretty much fall in love the way I did with Edward. But I don and never will regret everything that happened."

As I was telling them the whole story, I couldn't help but feeling enormously guilty for lying to my family. Especially Edward. If I told him the complete and total truth, would he still want me? Would he still love me even after all of this?

"But-Rosalie and Alice- I need you both to promise me that neither of you will mention this to anyone. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Jasper, or Edward. You can't even think about it around him. I want to be able to tell all of them myself. They need to hear the truth from me. It's best."

I looked at both of them seriously.

"I promise," they said at the same time. I nodded in acknowledgment.

"Ok you two have to start get going. I have other people to interview," I said. Alice opened her mouth to speak, but I already knew what she was going to ask.

"Before you even ask Alice, you both have the job because I know you both best and I know what you both are capable of with these positions." I smiled "Just don't do anything crazy on me." I was only going to keep "interviewing" people to make it seem like I haven't picked out my new employees.

"I thought I was the psychic here!" Alice said jokingly. I smiled.

"You are. But I know way too good Ali," I said. They both pulled me into warming hugs.

"See ya later Bella."

"Kay. Bye Alice. Bye Rose. And remember what a told you."

"We won't say anything, Bells!" And with that they left. When they left, Ashley came in.

"Those are the two infamous Cullen sisters, huh?"

"Yeah," I said with a small smile.

"They seem nice," she said simply. I nodded in agreement. Now at least there's two Cullens know the truth, there's still five more to worry about, but one that I hate to see their reaction to...
