Memories

The flight to Forks was short. Maybe because I was really excited to meet Rosalie and Alice that I did not bother about the time. During the flight I kept sneaking glances at my mother, to make sure that if she is alright. Sometime during she got tense, but later on became alright. I was not so worried about that as much I was about going to Forks, let alone to our old house, that house which still contained the memories of dad and grams. That house which made mom so desperate that she had to leave that town and get settled down elsewhere.

The flight landed and we quickly got hold of our luggage and went out. There at the platform, where my two most beloved sister – like friends aka Alice and Rosalie. When they saw me they sprinted towards me and both hugged me at the same time. Oh, how much I missed this.

"Bella!" Alice was squealing in excitement and delight. Alice was my small, pixie like friend. She has the ability to energize one of the most lethargic crowds. She is short, with black, spiky hairs. Alice is also known for her prenomination's or as some of us call it as seeing the future. No one knows about this except us friends, she always senses the events of the near future and keeps us prepared. Even the days when grams and dad died, Alice had already predicted it. The night before grams death, Alice made me say I love you to her. I had a last talk with her only because of Alice.

"Oh my, Bella. We really missed you." This is Rosalie. She's blond hair with the body of a supermodel. Rose is tall, smart, kind hearted and the perfect sister, besides Alice of course. She has a perfect sense of everything. Rosalie always understands me from inside out, which sometimes even mom could not.

"Hi girls." My mom greeted them. Mom always treated them as a part of the family, as my sisters.

"Hi Renée." Alice greeted her. Mom told them to call her first name since Mrs. Swan made her sound old.

"Yeah, hey Renée." Rose too greeted her as she pulled back. "How was the journey?" Rose asked as me made our way to her car.

"Tiring" Mom responded in a tired voice.

"Ok, so let's get you home fast." Alice said, jumping. I wonder where she stores all this energy in her small pixie body.

"Yeah, a small flight can be tiring too." I murmured. We quickly got into Rosalie's M3 and drove off. On the way Alice and Rose asked random questions which I answered one sidedly. The only thing that I was most worried about was my mom's reaction when she would enter our old house. The way from the airport to our house was about one hour long. The whole way my mom was quite, lost in her own thoughts.

"So mom, what would you have for dinner?" I asked trying to distract her from her thinking. She looked at me and smiled.

"Bella, honey, stop babying me. For once let me be your mother and you my daughter." She did smile, but it did not reach her eyes. I could see the sadness lying in her voice, it just made me want to cry. "And as for dinner, I think we can order pizza alright. And no need to argue." She added. I slumped back into my seat and waited for the house to come.

As we reached the house I could feel my mom becoming rigid besides me. I took her hand and gave it a slight squeeze, she did not respond instead kept staring at the house. After a moment she opened the door and got out of the car, me behind her. Then I helped Rosalie and Alice with the luggage. Right now we only bought the necessary things with us as we tried to keep our weight as light as possible. There were in all two suitcases and one carry back, the rest of the stuff will be arriving within two days. We got the entire luggage to the front porch and mom opened the door using the old key. As she opened the door she gasped out loud and a tear slid down her cheek. I looked over her shoulder and gasped too, everything was the same. It was like we had never left. The whole house was still looking as we left it. Mom went inside with hesitant steps and we all followed the suit. Rose and Alice helped me keep the luggage in the living room.

"I think we should go." Rose said going towards the front door.

"Yeah, see you later Bella." Alice said following Rose.

"Thankyou guys." I hugged them both.

"Hey! Sisters never thank each other." Alice protested.

"Yeah, she is right." Rose agreed as I let them go. "And Bella, if you have any problem, be it any hour please don't hesitate to call us." I nodded.

"And we'll be there in the morning to pick you up, so be ready on time cauz we don't like to get late." Alice said trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"Since when are you such a study freak?" I asked, giving them a weak smile.

"Since her mother threatened her to be well in her school records or else her credit cards would be seized." Rosie explained, I let out a small laugh. Alice was glaring at Rose for this but when she heard me laughing she turned to me with a smile.

"Bye guys." I said as they got in the car.

"Bye Bells." They both said in unison as they drove away. My best friends, I thought smiling. The smile fell as I felt bad for keeping them from knowledge of me being sick, but I just did not want them to pity over me. I just want them to treat me normal like they always do and not like I am a patient in a hospital and they are my doctors. Although the day of the test result Alice had her doubts, she called me practically every hour to ask if I was alright. Even mom told me to tell them the truth but I did not, I do feel guilty over this but I promised her that I would tell them at the right time.

I went inside and quietly closed the door behind me. The house is still the same. It still had our old family photos, it still had that old house – like smell. It still had all our memories, it still had dad in it. I shook my head and went in the kitchen only to find my mother crying, gripping the counter for support.

"Mom, are you alright?" I asked rushing towards her. I slowly pried her hands off the counter and made her sit on one of the chairs and gave her a glass of water.

"Oh Bella, I thought I will be able to handle it all." She started sobbing. "But it is so hard, every time I see towards the door I see Charlie walking through it. Everytime I look at the sink I see you scrubbing the plates and him drying it." She finished shaking uncontrollably.

"Shh, mom. It's alright, I know how it feels. But we have to be strong for him cauz I know he is watching us from somewhere up there, and I don't think he would like to see you crying like that." I rubbed her back trying to sooth her while hugging her to my chest. After a moment she stopped sobbing and looked up at me.

"Oh Bella, you know how much you look like him? You have his brown eyes, his hairs, his skin, his smile and lastly his heart. You always take care of me, just like your father did." As she said a tear slid down my own cheek, mom bought a hand up and wiped it. "There is no need to cry, honey. You know that you are the only reason I do not miss Charlie so much, you are the reason I am still alive." As she said it I went rigid, her eyes widened in realization. "Bella, I didn't mean to…" She started amending but the damage was already done. I had no idea of why she had said that but now fear was gripping me, hard, so I cut her off in a shaky voice.

"Mom, never say that again." I said with an edge of fear in my voice. "You are the only one I have left in this world. What would I do without you?" I asked, no begged her not to think anything so stupid and reckless again.

"I know honey, I know." She said as she started to get up and whipped her tears first then mine and smiled a sad smile. "Now, let's get this stuff to your room, you must be tired because of the journey." Truth to be told, now that she had mentioned it I did fell exhausted. I helped her take my bags up to my room. My room was still the same, just like I had left it. I quickly kept my bag on the side and took off my shoes. I let out a big yawn. I really am tired, I thought. Without looking around anymore I went on my bed put the covers on as to take a short nap, but soon drifted into deep slumber.

I know that this is short too, but next one will be a reasonable one since that is when the Cullen's come in the scene. Now you can guess what I am trying to say, can't you?

This chapter is merely for Renée's reactions for moving back, I hope you liked it.

You know, I read New Moon like this and trust me I cried like a baby. It seemed like I was the real Bella and Edward was really leaving me, like it was me too who was suffering the entire time.

So until next time, please review.

Much Love,

Bella
