Author's note: I'm in a writing mood. I really hope this chapter is better than the last one. I'm trying something different this time. Sortof..Edward and Bella's POV, all at the same time. Edward's POV will be in ITALICS, and Bella's will just be in regular. I really hope you all do read this A/N, cause you might be a tidbit confused if you don't.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. If I did, why the heck would I be writing fanfiction?

My legs were rooted to the spot in the doorway, a wave of panic coming over me. I wanted to get away, away from them, away from this mess I just got myself into. I heard a sharp intake of breath, and foolishly might I add, looked up. I looked into those beautiful topaz eyes, the ones I love so dearly, the ones that belonged to him.

In that moment, I didn't care about how she's here, or why she didn't come and find us. All I cared about that she was here. Bella, my sweet, beautiful, Bella, here in the flesh. I took in a sharp breath, amazed at how beautiful she is. She looked up, her coal black eyes gazing into my hazel ones with panic and fear.

I wanted to tear my gaze away, but his eyes held mine, and wouldn't let go. I don't know how long I stood there, but it seemed like hours, maybe even days. Aro said something, and suddenly snapped me out of my trance. "Wh-what?" I asked. " I said, come sit, and chat with us." Aro replied, a smile playing across his face. My eyes scanned the room, looking for a place to sit. It just so happened, the only spot open was on a small sofa, next to him.

Her eyes flickered around the room, and landed on the spot next to me, the only seat left. She walked gracefully over to me, and plopped herself down on the couch, sitting as far away as possible. I wanted to scoot over, to close the space in between us. I tried to catch her gaze again, but she wouldn't look towards me.

I could feel his eyes on me, willing me to look over. There's nothing more that I wanted to do than look into his eyes, I could do it all day. But the fear in me kept me from doing it. I feared once I looked, I wouldn't be able to stop, that I'd want him even more than I already do. He doesn't love you, he doesn't love you, he doesn't love you, I kept repeating to myself. Every second that passed, it felt like my heart was cracking a little bit more. I'm fairly sure that it was in a million tiny pieces, floating around inside my body, slowly breaking more and more until my heart was in pieces so small that they just dissolved.

Why wouldn't she look at me? Maybe she did do as I wished for her when I stupidly left her so long ago. Could she have possibly gotten over me? Maybe she found someone to love, someone better than me. My dead, cold heart filled with pain. She doesn't love you, I thought. And it's your own damn fault.

"Bella," Aro said, "Why don't you show the kids to their rooms. Alice and Rosalie will be staying with you, while Emmett, Jasper, and Edward will be staying in the room across from yours." I didn't want to be alone with any of them. It was hard enough right now, just being in the same room as them with other people, but alone with them was not something I was ready for yet. "Have Felix do it." I replied, "Or better yet, how about you do it."

Fear suddenly coursed through me. Doesn't she realize she could be killed for saying that? I saw a slight smile playing across Aro's lips, turning into a full grin. "Oh, Bella dear. Quite the temper you have there, huh? I'm talking to my old friend Carlisle, who I haven't seen in many, many years. Be a good girl, and do your father this one favor, please." Woah, back it up there a few seconds, did he just say father?

I sighed, knowing that I would have to do this. "Fine," I replied, "and just to let you know, I hate you." That wasn't true, and by the growing smile on his face, I could tell he knew. My feet felt heavy, and I felt even more panic coursing through me. "Come on," I said. I waited until they all got up, and started running as fast as I could. All of a sudden, a hand gripped my arm, and stopped me.

Alice pushed out ahead of us, running faster than I've ever seen her before, and quickly catching up with Bella. She grabbed her arm, causing Bella to stop, stumbling a little. She tried to free herself, but Alice wasn't letting go. "How?" She asked, confusion filling her voice. "How are you still alive? I saw you dead." I could tell by the look on Bella's face that this wasn't something she wanted to get into, especially with us.

I looked down at the hand gripping on tightly to my arm, and then into the eyes of Alice. "It's none of your business." I snapped, sounding harsher than I intended. She flinched, and let go of my arm, sadness covering her face. I instantly regretted saying it, and wished more than anything that I could take it back.

She turned around, and started running again, not so fast this time. She slowed even more, and came to a stop in front of two doors. "That's your room," She replied dully, "This is ours." She opened both doors, and walked into her own. Jasper, Emmett, and myself walked into our room, while the girls walked into Bella's. "It's weird huh, how she's actually alive." Emmett said, sitting down on his bed. I stood in the doorway, looking at the closed door across from me. "I mean, it's like, twenty five years, and then we just happen to come to Italy to visit the Volturi, and that Aro guy is calling Bella his daughter? I wonder how that happened." He said, staring up at the ceiling. A frown started to form on my lips, wondering the same thing.

I went into my closet, and started pulling clothes off the racks. This is what I did when I was frustrated, I tore all the clothes off the hangers, and re organized them. My emotions were starting to get the best of me, and I collapsed on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

I could hear faint sobs coming from the room across from ours, and my heart filled with sadness. I knew it was Bella, I could just tell. I wanted to rush to her, to hold her in my arms, to tell her that I'm here, and everything's okay.

I think what I needed most was him. I needed him to kiss me, and hold me, and never let go.

I wanted to take away her pain.

I wanted him to tell me that everything was fine.

I love you, I whispered to her in my head, hoping someway she could hear me, and know it's the truth.

What did I do wrong? What did I do to deserve this? I thought. Why don't you love me?

So, did you like it? I'm not 100 sure if I do. I'm quite proud of myself though, sorta. It's longer, and out way sooner! )
