I woke up feeling like shit the next morning. Oh fuck it was all coming back to me. I quickly jumped in the shower got dressed grabbed my shit high tailed it to my car and took off before anyone could find me. I drove around Forks for a while before I headed over to the Cullen's to apologize to Edward.

I drove past the dream house it was a house that Edward and I used to dream about owning and raising our family in. I pulled up outside and noticed a sign saying it was for sale. I grabbed my mobile and rang the realtor and asked them to come straight over. Within 10 minutes he was there.

"Hello, are you Bella?" he asked.

"Yes I'm Bella Swan."

"Chief Swan's daughter?" he asked.

"Yes that's me."

"I'm Aro Volturi."

"Nice to meet you, can you tell me a bit about this house and the price and show me around please?"

My mobile rang, "Excuse me I need to get this" I said.

"Sure" he said.

"Hello Isabella Swan speaking."

"Hello dear it is Esme" oh shit.

"Oh hello mom."

"Bella we need to talk." she said.

"Mom I'm busy at the moment."

"Where are you Bella this can't wait?" she snapped Esme never snapped.

I swallowed hard and just above a whisper said, "I'm at the dream house mom."

"Oh, Bella I will be there in 2 minutes this has gone on far too long." she said.

"Mom please not now, I can't deal with this at the moment." I begged.

"I'm already on my way and yes my dear you are." she said and hung up.

I stood there in a daze for a few minutes until I heard a car and then 2 doors opened Esme and Edward. Fuck my life. I put my sunglasses on and walked back over to Aro.

"I'm sorry could you please give me 5 minutes?" I asked Aro.

"Sure Bella I will just be inside." he said.

"Thanks" I said.

I turned around to see Esme and Edward standing there and Edward looking very uncomfortable. I plastered on a smile walked up to Esme hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Hi Mom, I've missed you."

"Me to Bella honey" she told me.

I let go of her and took a step back and looked at Edward. He looked like crap and I knew it was because of me and what I had said to him last night.

"Bella honey what are you doing here?" Esme asked.

"You know this was my dream house and I noticed it was for sale on the way over to your house so I stopped and called the realtor and asked if he could meet me here."

Edward's head snapped up and looked at me.

"Bella what were you coming over to our house for?" he asked me.

"I thought that you and I should sit down Edward and talk because I am back home for good and you are living here not in Chicago anymore plus your sister is marrying my brother and I would like to be able to be civil with you when I visit mom and dad."

"Bella why are you looking at this house?" Edward asked.

I looked at him, "Edward, you of all people you should know why I'm here."

Looking at him I wondered if I had really meant nothing to him for all those years we were together.

"Bella honey can I come in and have a look with you?" Esme asked.

"Sure mom, I would really like your opinion." I said.

"Bella can I come in to please, I've never seen the inside." he asked and I just looked at him.

"Sure" I said with my teeth clenched.

"Come on kids lets go look at your dream house." Esme said.

Edward and I just glared at each other and she waved us both off. Esme walked in front of us and Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me back.

"What do you want Edward?" I snapped.

"Bella please don't buy this house." he begged.

"Why the hell not Edward?"

"Because Bella it was our dream or have you forgotten that." he snapped.

"Fuck off Edward, I will and I can you have no say in what I do you gave that right up when you called me over 3 years ago." I snapped and stormed off inside the house.

"So Esme is that Edward's Bella?" Aro asked.

"No I'm not Edwards Bella." I snapped.

"Hello Uncle Aro" Edward said and shook his hand.

Of fucking course it is Edward's Uncle Carlisle's brother-in -law I thought his face was familiar. I started to walk up stairs to get away from them all and look around.

"Edward, what did you say to Bella to make her tell you to fuck off?" Esme asked.

"Mom, you heard that?" Edward said I chuckled to myself.

"Yes and I have never heard Bella cuss before Edward." Esme said.

"I asked her not to buy the house Mom." Edward said.

"EDWARD ANTHONY CULLEN you have no right to ask her that." Esme scolded.

I looked down the banister and shouted

"Hey Aro how many rooms does it have?" I asked.

"5 bedrooms, 5 ½ bathrooms, study, media room, 3 living areas, 2 dining, 4 car garage, pool out the back and don't forget about the extra land and the pool house" he was reeling off stuff and I had a smirk on my face.

"OMG Edward you have to come and have a look at this." I shouted excited about the walking track over the back into the forest.

Edward came running up the stairs with a grin on his face.

"What is it Love?" he said.

I turned around so quick I nearly tripped I scowled at him walking past him and down to Aro and Esme.

"How much Aro?" I asked.

"$1,480,000 Bella but it is a fair price." he said as I looked at Esme.

"Mom is it?" I asked.

"I think it is worth 1.4million Aro not a penny more." she said.

"Call them Aro please and I will move in today." I said to him.

He nodded and walked off to make the call.

"Bella honey you don't have that kind of money." Esme said.

I laughed at her as Edward was coming down the stairs.

"Mom I have more than enough plus some" I said she looked at me in shock.

"Bella you have done quite well for yourself haven't you?" she chuckled.

"Mom if I get it could you fix a few things and decorate it please?"

"Sure honey let's see what Aro says first."

"OK." I said to her grinning.

Edward looked at me and then he spoke ever so softly with his voice cracking on each word.

"Bella are you really going to buy the house?" he asked.

"Yeah I am." I said.

"Bella" Aro said.

"Yeah"

"It's all yours" he said. I squealed and hugged mom, Aro and Edward which shocked the shit out of both of us.

"Let's go to Esme's and sign all the papers and I will hand over the keys to your new home." he said.

"Congratulations Bella." Esme said.

"Thanks mom I would have paid full price if you weren't here." We both laughed as we walked to our cars.

"Edward you go with Bella" Esme said.

"Hey Edward you want to drive?" I asked him noticing him looking at my SUV.

"Sure Bella" he said as I threw him the keys.

"I can't believe it Edward I got my dream house!" I said.

"Our" he muttered.

We took off in the car and I knew he was pissed off with me but right at that minute I could care less. In your face Edward Cullen I chuckled to myself.

"Why aren't you at work Edward?"

"I wasn't felling very well."

"I call bullshit!"

"What do you want me to say Bella, I was up all night feeling like shit for what I did to you? Well Bella is that it or do you want to hear that I love you and always have loved you and I have been to chicken shit to fight for you or that I have never gotten over you. What you said last night Bella that broke my heart. I honestly didn't think it could break anymore." he said.

"YOU LEFT ME EDWARD! YOU DUMPED ME! YOU BROKE MY HEART! YOU EDWARD! NOT ME! YOU!" I screamed and jumped out of the car slammed the door and ran inside.

"BELLA, BELLA WAIT PLEASE!" he screamed, running after me.

I ran into the kitchen and sat at the table with Aro and Esme, Edward stood in the door way looking at me.

"OK where do I sign?" I said.

"Here, here and here" Aro said.

"Oh I just have to run and grab my cheque book." I said.

I can't believe that moron. He wants to play the broken heart card on me. I grabbed my cheque book and walked back inside. I sat down and started filling it out.

"I trust you Bella but I have to call it in to the bank." he said.

I just laughed and said no worries. Mom and I were talking about the few changes and about furniture when Edward came over to me.

"Bella your brother is on the phone." he said.

"You better not have told them Edward."

"No Bella I haven't." he said.

"Hello"

"Hey Bella, what are you doing at the Cullen's?"

"That is none of your business Jazz."

"What time will you be home?"

"I'm not coming home Jazz."

"What the fuck does that mean?"

"Just that Jazz, you are a smart guy you figure it out." and with that I snapped the phone shut and handed it to Edward.

"Thanks" I said to him. He just smiled at me and went to the kitchen to get a drink.

Aro walked in dangling the keys in front of me.

'It's mine?"

"Yeah Bella, Congratulations" he said.

"Thanks Aro for everything and Aro the meadow on Old Twilight Road is it still for sale?"

"No way Bella, No fucking way" Edward said.

"Umm yeah Bella it is" he said looking at Edward with concern.

"And what is that going for?" I asked him.

"1.2 million beautiful spot" he said.

"I would like to talk to you about that more."

"Umm sure Bella, I will call you later." he said grabbing his stuff and high tailing it out of here.

"No fucking way Bella that's mine, don't be such a bitch." with that I looked at him grabbed my cell and pressed the call button.

"Hello, it's Bella."

"Hey Bella you are ringing to tell me you are buying the meadow aren't you? "Aro asked.

"Sure are I will be there in 10 minutes."

'OK Bella Bye"

"Bye"

"You fucking Bitch!" Edward screamed walking over to me.

"Bella, how could you do that to me" he screamed.

"Excuse me I have some where to be, Esme I will be back soon." Esme chuckled at me.

I grabbed my purse, cheque book and walked out of the house with Edward hot on my heels. I ran to my car jumped in and locked the doors. Flipping off Edward laughing at him. I started my car and took off to Aro's office I pulled up at the office and walked in noticing the vacant office building next door on my way in.

"Bella you really know how to make my nephew's blood boil." Aro said with a chuckle.

"Yeah I do" I started laughing.

"So are we doing this?" he asked.

'Yeah where do I sign?" I laughed.

"Here, here and here" he chuckled.

"Aro I want the title in Edwards name." I said.

"Are you sure about that Bella?"

"Yeah I'm not really that much of a bitch and it is his meadow he found it and shared it with me. I would never take that away from him" I laughed.

"How about we put it in both your names?" Aro said.

"I would prefer it in his." now we were both laughing so hard that we had tears in our eyes.

"You really do love him. Don't you Bella?" he said.

"Yeah I do with all my heart but I don't think he will forgive me after the house and the meadow."

"He will Bella, that kid has been a mess for so long pining after you regretting every day that he broke your heart and he actually had grown a pair and was going to go and beg you to come home to him but when he found out you were with that guy he thought you were happy so he didn't go."

"There is so much hurt and stuff we need to work through."

"It will work out Bella, don't worry and I can't wait for you to be my niece. You really have made me laugh a lot today I have never seen Edward like this."

I started to fill out the cheque and Aro informed me it was 1.1 million, he talked the owners down on my behalf. I smiled at him and as I was handing him the cheque as Edward walked in.

"You are a fucking bitch, Bella!" Edward screamed.

"Watch your mouth Edward and while you are here sign this here, here and here." Aro said.

Edward just looked at us I got up shook Aro's hand kissed him on the cheek and said goodbye. I hopped in my car and headed back to the Cullen's. I turned off my car and sat there trying to compose myself with everything Aro had just told me. My passenger door opened and Edward climbed in. I quickly grabbed my keys and tried to climb out but Edward had a hold of my arm.

"Bella we need to talk." he said.

"I know Edward but I need to go buy a bed and stuff with Mom so I can sleep at the house tonight."

"Bella, can I please come with you and Mom? I would like to spend some time with you."

"O.K. Edward you can come and then tonight we will talk about everything o.k. just not now."

"Uncle Aro told you didn't he Bella?"

"Yeah Edward he did."

"The meadow Bella, why did you do it why did you buy it?"

I just shrugged my shoulders and looked at him. He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. I felt the familiar electricity that flowed through me when Edward touched me.

"Thank you Bella" he said.

"I'm not really that much of a bitch Edward; you just made me so mad."

"I know Bella, I'm sorry."

"O.K. let's go inside before mom comes out and smacks us." I snickered.

With that Edward let go of me and came around to my side of the car and walked inside holding my hand. Esme looked up from her chair and smiled at us both looking at our hands and then our faces I quickly let go and put my hands in my jeans pockets.

"Mom we need to go and get a bed and some other things so I can sleep at the house tonight."

"Bella honey it is already done it will be at you house at 2pm." she said.

"Thanks Mom" I said.

"Edward, are you working tomorrow?" He looked at his mum and she smiled.

"I have two months vacation Bella starting tomorrow." he said.

"Go pack a bag. You are staying with me so we can sort our shit out and with no one knowing I bought the house except you, mum and Uncle Aro we won't have any visitors." I said to Edward.

"Bella I called Charlie and told them that you and Edward have gone away for awhile to try and sort through this whole mess. He was ok with it and said ring him a few times just so he knows Edward hasn't killed you and dumped your body." We both laughed.

"Mom how about if Edward and I do go on a holiday?" I said.

"Where to honey?" she said.

"Hang on back in 5 minutes." I said I quickly ran up the stairs to Edwards's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in" he said.

"Edward, how would you feel if we went on a holiday away from everyone and everything for a month but first we have to take a detour to LA and finalize my move and organize my cars to be shipped back home?"

"If that's what you want to do Bella then I'm all for it." he said excited.

"Where do you want to go Edward?"

"Let's just start off in LA first and then once everything is done we can go from there." he said.

"O.K. then we can do that."

"Bella I think I need to pack a bigger suit case." he laughed.

I walked out of his room and down to the kitchen where Esme was.

"Bella honey what did he say?"

"He thinks it is a good idea Mom."

"OK so what is coming from LA?"

"Nothing but personal items and my cars everything else I will leave. So you have free range of every room to decorate here is my credit card I have put you on it so use my money and spend whatever you need."

"Bella honey you have a lot of money why aren't you investing it?"

"Mom when I get back and everything is finalized you and Dad can sit down with me. I just never spent any money. I lived off the bare essentials for years so I have quite a lot and my new book is being released soon so I will have more money."

"Bella you know I don't like talking about money but how well off are you?"

"Mom I am a billionaire a couple times over." I mumbled shyly.

"Holy shit Bella" she screeched.

"Mom please don't say anything. I have kept all my earnings from my books and the movie deals and you know me mom I worked at the local restaurant to make ends meet."

"So Bella out of the 7 books published 4 have been made into movies and you have one new one that is ready to be released."

"Umm yeah"

"Bella what aren't you telling me?"

"My other 3 published books are going to be made into movies also."

"Holy shit Bella"

"Mom stop saying that please."

"Oh honey I am so proud of you."

"Thanks mom and just so you know you are the only one who knows how much money I have."

"Ok Bella Mom's the word" she laughed.

"And Bella when you get back everything will be done all the upgrades we spoke of earlier."

"Mom I brought the meadow."

"I know honey Aro told me."

"You're not mad at me?"

"No Bella I'm not mad at you I'm glad you are home and that you still think of me as your mom" she said crying. I walked over and hugged her and was crying myself. Edward walked in the room and started to panic.

"Bella, Mom what's happened?" he said.

We both started giggling and Edward sighed in relief.

"Edward we need to book our flight." I said.

"OK Bella I will do it now" he said and walked over to the computer.

"Bella we have to leave know if we want to make our flight." he said.

"OK" I turned to mom kissed her and said good bye and Edward did the same.

"We can take my car Edward." I threw him the keys.

"OK Bella are you packed?"

"Yeah I never unpacked." I snickered.

"OK let's go then." he said.
