Bella's POV
I slept peacefully that night. Sure I had the nightmares about Jacob leaving Masen and I. Edward was nowhere to be seen in any of my dreams. For the first time in ages I felt whole. I cannot remember exactly what I dreamt about, all I know was I dreamt of owning a little cottage in England, in the garden Esme was gardening, Carlisle was painting on an easel and Masen was playing chase with Alice, and Emmett suddenly ran away from the home. It was a rather strange dream, but I was content.
The Sun shone through the spaces between the blinds, and I sat upright, unsure on whether last night was just entirely a dream. "Good Morning sleepy!" Emmett bellowed, as he sat down on the edge of my bed. "So last night wasn't a dream?" I questioned. He laughed, his cute dimples appearing in his cheeks. "No Bells, I'm really here. You want to do something today? Anything at all. just for you. Libby is taking the kids to the zoo so Masen is taken care of, unless you want to go with them I understand, god Emmett stupid or what..." He carried on mumbling away, I got out of bed and hugged his shoulders. I don't know why, I just acted on instinct. "Oh sorry, Emmett I don't know why I did that" He turned round and sat me in his lap, I snuggled into his large shoulder, his arms engulfing me in muscles, sexy muscles... Get a grip Bella seriously "Bells Don't apologise for hugging me, you of all people should know I love a bear hug" I laughed and climbed out of his arms and over to my bathroom and closet. "Umm, human moment." I explained to Emmett who simply nodded. I splashed my face with water, and boy I looked rough! I decided to style my hair straight with a few loose curls, and applied minimal make up. I threw on some skinny jeans and my brown leather high heeled boots. I was no longer clumsy, something I was seriously thankful for. I reached for a matching brown leather belt and a plain white vest top. I sighed as I looked at my reflexion, sure I wasn't ugly, but compared to the people I was hoping to visit today; I definitely didn't reach the mark.
I returned to my room and grabbed my handbag, and turned to Emmett. "Does this look okay?" He looked down, his expression I couldn't make out. "Bells, you look amazing, If I do say so." I smiled. "So Em, I was, erm, wondering, is it possible to go see Esme and Carlisle? I would love to see them before..." I couldn't bring myself to end the sentence, and by the look on Emmett's face he seemed grateful I didn't finish it either. His phone rang.
"Hello? Yes I am with Bella.
What are you talking about?
We will talk when we get home.
Yes we. Bella and me.
Bella wants to see Esme and Carlisle.
God Sake Alice, Chill! I will ask her now"
He put his hand over the receiver and turned to me "Bells, Alice wants to know why you want to see Esme and Carlisle and none of the others" He sighed as he knew that this would be difficult for me. He was quite wrong.
"Sure I will see everyone, I wasn't sure if they wanted to see me that's all" I replied, whilst applying some extra eye liner and mascara, and sprit zing myself with perfume.
Emmett continued his phone conversation.
"Yes she will see everyone, no doubt you heard her say so anyways.
Erm, I didn't think about that, I will ask Bella if she has a car.
See you in half hour. Yes Alice seriously. But don't tell, you know, him.
Because Alice I don't think Bella is ready just yet.
I can't believe you say that Alice, I have always cared
Oh great so mind reader already knows
Shut the hell up now pixie. And yes tell Rose I will sign when I get home.
Okay calm down sis, love you. Bye"
I shot Emmett a questioning look. "Why do you need to know if i have a car?" He laughed, and put his phone away. "I kind of ran here, as soon as I read your letter"
I was shocked. "Oh, wow Emmett. Really" I didn't know what to say to that. Thanks you care so much? No that would sound lame.
"Yeah I have a car, ready to go?" I said as we walked outside towards my car. Emmett laughed. "What, were you expecting, the truck?" I laughed, as I went towards to driver's side, when Emmett manoeuvred me towards the passenger side. "Not really, I don't know. I guess I didn't expect to see an Audi TT, bells you truly are a changed woman." We slipped into the car and began our journey. I quickly texted Quill, who stayed nearby for my safety and explained where I would be. We sang along to cheesy songs on the radio, and talked about what we have both been up to, and what car he had now.
"We are here" He said, as he cautiously looked at me, my heart started racing. Was I really going to do this, go back after all this time? "Bells calm that precious heart of yours okay, I am here for you I will protect you, no need to be scared." "Emmett, seriously, I am not scared of attacks or anything like that. I am scared of rejection, again." He opened my door for me, and I looked up at a beautiful Victorian home, it sure was a Cullen property. It was HUGE, I half heartedly expected for them to be waiting on the doorstep, as they would be able to sense my presence, but no one was there. As if Emmett read my mind he put his arm around my waist and suggested to go inside. "They are waiting indoors, they didn't want to put too much pressure on you know." I nodded, my throat was dry, and i was seriously petrified of what would be said.
I walked into the home, and true to Emmett's word there sat Esme and Carlisle, on a loveseat facing towards us, Alice and Jasper stood by the fireplace, Rosalie looking in the mirror, and Edward, sat on the staircase, looking out the huge window next him. it was all too much, darkness crept up on me, i could faintly hear Emmett's voice, and feel his strong arms hold me up. Then it all went dark.
