Hey Everyone! I am back after my rockin' weekend. I hoped you all enjoyed the last chapter. I know I left you with a cliffhanger but I wanted you to miss me! Thanks to everyone who reviewed.
PS- You all know I don't own Supernatural or Twilight, but if you're feeling generous I would really like them for Christmas.

I stood to follow Edward out to the porch but Dean grabbed my arm first. He glared at Edward for a moment and I wondered what he was thinking. Then his gaze softened and as he turned toward me. I just nodded and he let go.
The porch light threw a warm glow on his skin as he stepped outside. The air was chilly and I shivered. Up until then I had forgotten that I hadn't taken off Dean's jacket and I was grateful he hadn't said anything about it. Edward gracefully sat down on the top step. Instead of sitting nest to him, I leaned against the railing. "Bella" he started as he angled his body toward me. I remained silent as I remembered the last time I had a private conversation with him. I was numb inside then too.
"You have no ideal how truly sorry I am," he said. "If I had known the damage that I would cause by leaving you then I never would have lied," Suddenly I wasn't so numb any more. I could feel a small ball of anger rising in my stomach.
"Bella, I never stopped loving you, I lied so you would be safe," he said.
"So that I could be safe," I repeated dumbly. The ball of anger grew as I stared at him. His eyes searched my face. I must have looked as mad as I felt. "Yes" he whispered as he stood and walked over to me. His cool fingers felt like feathers as he brushed my cheek. Edward's eyes stared into mine and I knew he was trying to dazzle me.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" I shouted as the ball exploded inside of me. "How dare you," I said as I pushed his hand away from my face. Edward looked like I had just slapped him and I wish I had. "You left to protect me?" I screamed as I walked around him. I threw open the door and stomped my way inside. I couldn't look at him anymore. I knew that if I hit him I would be the one in pain.
I heard the screen door shut behind me again as Edward followed. "Bella please…" he begged as he followed me into the living room. Everyone was staring at us but I didn't care. "What Edward? What do you want from me?" I shouted and through my arms up. "You had me, remember? I was yours, mind, body, and soul, I was all yours and YOU walked out on me" Edward stared at me with his mouth open. I felt waves of calm suffocating me.
"Jasper I swear to God if you don't knock it off I'm going to use you as kindling for a bonfire." I said as I turned toward him and the rest of the Cullens. "Bella, that's not fair, he was trying to help" Alice yelled right back at me. "Really Alice? I sorry if my attitude offended you" I responded, each world was dripping with sarcasm. "Do you want to know what I think is unfair?" I asked. "I think having my heart broken by a man I was head over heels in love with was unfair." I said before she had a chance to respond. " I think it's unfair that my best friend and the people I thought of as family just left me without saying a word" I paused for a second to let my words sink in. " Edward wasn't the only one that hurt me that day" I whispered .
"I laid in those woods for seven hours after you took off, it hurt too much to move or breathe," I said as each painful memory surfaced. "The doctor started using words like catatonic, to describe that first week," I said watching the faces of the vampires as I started to pace the room. "I lost 20 pounds and I walked around like a zombie, then Victoria came for me" I voice sounded hollow even to me.
"I watched as my mother was murdered in front of me. I watched as my father was turned. I was beaten and tortured because she wanted to cause YOU pain" I could see guilt cloud their faces. They stared at me in horror and with my anger subsiding I felt sick. I looked over to Dean and Sam. They were standing in the corner waiting for my cue on what to do. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes and I just wanted to get the hell away from everybody. I took one last glance at Alice and Edward. They looked like a couple of kicked puppies.
I turned around and headed back down the hallway to the stairs. I took them two at time, eager to get to my room. I fell on one of the beds and just laid there, trying to calm myself down. I felt ashamed of myself because of the hissy fit I just threw. I don't know how long I was in there before I heard a soft knock on the door. "Bella?" Dean's deep voice called in as he cracked the door. The hallway light allowed me to see that their faces were full of pity.
They walked over to bed and climbed in. My back pressed against Sam and I rested my head on Dean's chest. That was the first night in a long time that I cried myself to sleep.

I couldn't speak as Bella's outburst continued.The pain in her voice was thick as she turned on my family. I looked into their minds but they were all in shock. I managed to look past her for moment to Sam and Dean. They were watching her cautiously and I couldn't help but listen to Dean's thoughts. It's going to be alright Bells, I promise. This has been building up for five years; I'm surprised it isn't worse.
Bella spun around and headed up the stairs. I was tempted to go up there to her but she need to calm down. "Wow" Sam sighed as he looked at his brother. "Dude, I know… right?" Dean smiled. Sam smiled back but the smirk left his face as he looked at me. "I can feel her from down here, she feels guilty," Jasper announced.
"Why?" Dean snorted. Sam elbowed him in the chest and headed for the stairs. Dean followed; mumbling curse words as he walked passed me. After a few minutes, we heard Bella crying. I felt like scum and the silence was overwhelming. "I'm going hunting," I said as I walked out the door. I started running before anyone had a chance to offer to come with me.

When Bella finally fell asleep, I stood up and grabbed a blanket to cover her with. Dean's shirt was soaked with Bella's tears but he didn't seem like he cared. He didn't make a move to get up so I laid down on the other bed. When I woke up Dean and Bella were still sleeping. The alarm clock next to me said it was seven am and the sun looked like it was going to break through thick curtains on the many windows. I heard Dean moan as he stretched out. "Jesus, Dean I was sleeping" Bella whined into the pillow. I sat up and swung my legs over the edge of the bed. "Sorry Bells, I forgot you slept next to me last night" he yawned as she rolled off the bed and grabbed her bag.
"So how awkward do you think it's going to be today?" She asked once she got her clothes out of her bag. "I don't know but according to Alice, the demon and his band of merry minions should be here tonight" I answered her. "Do you guys still have spray paint? because I have the salt" she asked as she sat back down on the edge of the bed. "Yeah" Dean said as he stood up. His eyes met Bella's for moment and both took off running out of the room.
I laughed as I moved toward the hallway. Bella had Dean on his butt and he wouldn't let go of her legs. "You can have the bathroom for as long as you want after I'm done" Bella grunted as Dean flipped her to the ground. "You take forever" Dean managed to answer before Bella wrapped her legs around his waist and flipped him over her head so she was on top.
As they bantered back and forth, the bedroom doors began to open as the Cullens began to look for the source of all the commotion. It was quite the sight to see too. My big brother was being pinned to the ground by a tiny girl. I shook my head as I slipped past them and shut the bathroom door. "HEY!" they shouted in unison. I only laughed in response as I began to get ready for the day.
So there it is! Let me know what you think about this chapter or the pics on my profile. I really love reading your comments. I try to answer everyone's questions so don't be shy XD
