The phone call with Edward and Bella is basically the same as the book so I won't write it all out. I will give the basic gist of it but there is no point in copying out of the book. The times I am referring to aren't in the book.
So, the emotional stuff will all come next chapter.
Oh, I have realized I have not one done a disclaimer... ok, so here is one for my WHOLE story.
I own nothing of twilight. SM owns all and I am just slightly adapting her awesome book
Bella's POV
The car journey was boring and uneventful. Jasper and Alice were in the front chatting most of the time, while I was in the back sleeping peacefully. We got to the sunny state of Phoenix, Arizona, which is where the tinted windows came in handy. The reason we choose to come to this particular place is because one, it is a crowded place and harder to track in and, two, it was sunny.
In other words it is not a good place for vampires, making everything that bit more difficult for James.
"Where's the airport, Bella?" Jasper asked me, bringing me out of a light sleep I had slowly began to slip into.
"Err..." I said, shaking my head and forcing my eyes to look out the window, but there was really no point as we weren't anywhere near it. "You take a left at Junction Avenue and go straight." My response came out slow and drowsy, slurring my words. "Why?" I asked as I sudden thought hit me.
"No reason," he answered with indifferent tone. "Being prepared... just in case." I nodded once at his reply, though only half listening, and again began to drift off, the purr of the engine sounding loudly in the silence.

I woke up at a later hour, but instead of the soft leather padded car, I was in a mess of hot sheets on a bed that spelt like cheap detergent. I slowly sat up and looked around. I could tell we were in a hotel room, the heavy matching floral wallpaper and curtains, along with the bolted down furniture were dead giveaways. I guessed that I had been asleep for an hour or so and so stood up and made my way towards the widow. I drew the curtains only to find a darkened view, one of city lights and few people. I was surprised to see how late it was as I only fell asleep at about 4:00. I blew out a sigh and stood staring out to the city. I had actually lived in this city for a few months, a while back when it was just mom and I. She wanted to experience what it would be like, living the night life, but soon got tired of that as she couldn't go round in the day.
I was brought out of my reminiscence when I heard a door click open behind me. Alice pocked her head around the corner and looked over towards me, a small, strained smile on her face.
"You're up," she announced. She stepped into the room, leaving the door open as she did, and walked over to me. Before I could say anything she began to close the curtains. "Best stay hidden," she told me and I nodded, understanding what she meant. "Are you ok?" she asked, worry clear in her voice. I gave a reassuring smile and nodded.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"About 3am I think," she told me in return.
"I think I will just take a quick shower."
Alice seemed to brighten up a significant amount. "Ok, there is food waiting for you in the next room when your done." She started to usher me off to the bathroom and I went with no complaint. As she basically pushed me through the door I heard the words "clothes on bed" and understood her sudden mood change. I showered and changed into the clothes Alice left for me. I didn't really want to wear the pretty top and the designer jeans she left me but there was no harm in putting them on to make her happy. I walked out of the bedroom and into the sitting room. It was pretty much like the bedroom yet with a few sofas to sit on and a semi flat-screen TV. Alice was leaning by the door and Jasper was sitting on the sofa, looking blankly at the TV. He looked up at me as I came in and gave a comforting smile, though I could see some confusion in his eyes. I guessed that he couldn't guess why I wasn't confused and scared about the fact that I had a vampire trying to kill me. I don't think he really minded that much though; it was probably a relief on him.
I had something to eat and stayed watching TV, a very boring documentary about crime in Phoenix. After about an hour of that I couldn't take it anymore and so went back into the bedroom to try and get a little more sleep. Alice was obviously having the same thoughts as me, in the fact that hearing the endless mummer of the TV would drive her mad, because she stood up and followed me. I collapsed on the bed and curled up, closing my eyes and trying to get my mind to rest. I felt Alice sit at the foot of the bed and settle down to the silence. The TV could be heard faintly through the door and I tried to block it out without success. After a few minutes of a useless attempt of sleep I sat up and faced Alice. She was frowning at her hands in annoyance. I had a sudden thought and so went over to my bag and started to go through it.
"What are you looking for?" I heard Alice's high voice from behind me.
"Hold on," I mumbled, my mind distracted by the hope of something to do. After about 30seconds of hopeless search, with a cry of joy, I found what I was looking for.
I stood up and turned round to face her, only to find a glazed over face. I went and sat down next to her on the bed, my sketchbook held tightly in my hands. I pulled a pencil out of the side binding of the book and opened it onto the last page I had used. It was a picture of Edward and all his beauty. I had drawn it only the other day, adding a touch of watercolor into the corners. It was always nice to have such a brilliant modal to base my drawing on. I tuned back to Alice and saw she was looking at my artwork, a grateful smile on her face.
"You know, I am so glad you have come along... We all are. Edward had always been the lonely bachelor of the family and although he has always said he was fine... we knew he was lonely at heart really. We are all so very glad he now has you," Alice gave this little speech with strong sincerity. I looked at her with a timid smile and was surprised when she suddenly embraced me in a strong hug.
After a small while she let go and smiled.
"What brought that on?" I asked.
"I just had a vision that we would become good friends, and I wanted to start off properly," she announced as if it was the most normal thing in the world. I nodded in shock and looked back down to my sketchbook. "... And I can see that you really love Edward, and that I know he really loves you and that we are all happy to have you together." As she said that last part a picture of Rosalie came into my head and I couldn't help but smile at the obvious lie on Alice's part. Not everyone, I thought to myself.
After that we fell into a comfortable conversation together; laughing, and chatting and just talking like two normal teenage girls.
This is how most of my time in this crappy hotel room went. We talked and we became good friends. I felt as if Alice was the sister I never got, and I felt part of a family. Of course I have a family with Charlie and Renée but I have never had that experience if siblings and I loving parental relationship. I liked it.
At about 2pm the same day we got a call from Edward saying that they had lost James and that they were flying up to Phoenix. Esme and Rosalie were going back to Forks to make sure Charlie was ok and then were going to join up with everyone else while Edward and I would go off alone with each other somewhere.
"I love you so much," I told him just before we parted on the phone. You know when you get that feeling in the pit of your stomach, that something really bad is going to happen, and you have no choice over anything. Everything around you is wrong and you feel like you want to cry. I was having one of those moments, and I had a horrible feeling that this was the last time I would hear Edwards voice. I could feel my heart accelerating and my breathing get faster.
"Bella?" Jaspers voice came from behind me. I suddenly felt a wave of calmness come over me, and, realizing that this was to Jaspers doing; I turned round and gave a grateful smile. He seemed more relaxed now that I had had a panicking fit like a normal human should have, but I knew it was more than that, but for the time being I would just enjoy Jaspers gift, basking in the moment.
"Bella, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love you," he said strongly. "Please, don't fret my love," and with that we parted.
We were to meet them in boarding gate 7 at Phoenix airport at 6:00pm, which was about 2 hours from now. I went to get my things together as Alice and jasper went to cheek us out of the hotel. I was sitting on the bed when my cell went off, causing me to jump off the bed in surprise. I reached into my bag, where I had placed it after the phone call from mom, and grabbed it, glancing at the screen as I went. I saw that it was again my mother, and I inwardly groaned as I thought of what she might want. Pulling the receiving end up to my ear I pressed the accept call button.
"Hey mom," I announced into the phone.
"Guess again," a male voice came through, one all too familiar to my ear.
