DISCLAIMER: I don't own much (not even this computer! (it's my dad's!)), I only own a few characters

I should stop rambling before you all start chasing me with pitchforks! : S

He didn't love me, he said so himself.

I knew better that to believe that.

I had to know why, but I could not just walk up to him and ask, I'd have to ask someone to talk to them.

"Alyssa, Destiny I need you to do something for me" Amy gave me a dangerous look, knowing what I was about to ask.

"Name it" Alyssa was so trustworthy and far braver than Destiny

""the coven over there; the Cullen's, invite them over to ours tonight" this was not a strange request; we had met other veggie vamps and ask them over so we could get to know them.

"sure, come on Dest" they got up and walked towards the Cullen's table, I sat in Destiny's seat with my back to the Cullen's so they; or rather Edward would not see me.

"Hi, I'm Destiny and this is Alyssa"

"Would you like to come to our house, to talk and maybe get to know each other?" Alyssa asked emphasis on the maybe

"Yeah, sure" this was Alice's voice "any specific time?"

"no, come at anytime you like" I left after that, they were coming, that was all I needed to know.

I drove home to find Damon watching TV. I burst through the door, ran upstairs to my room and pulled out a box, one that meant so much to me. Opening the box, I found an old photo of me an Edward on my disastrous eighteenth birthday party, I pulled out the plane tickets I never used (by the time James had pulled them out from under my floorboards) and my car stereo. I sat sobbing silently, all the pain from all those years ago flooding back. Intensified by the extra thinking space.

I stayed that way for several hours; Damon eventually came up telling me the Cullen's were on the way. He paused, unsure

"Iz, are you alright?" worry seeping through his features

I would tell him, the truth "the vampire I was with 50 years back, the one that left me in the forest" Damon nodded "he was called Edward Cullen" an ugly pain twisted my heart "the coven coming over are the Cullen" he growled "don't you dare I'll deal with them myself!" a car approached

"The others are already here, that will be the Cullen's" we ran downstairs preparing to meet them I stood at the back, everyone had heard me and Damon they understood.

"Don't think about it or me he will know" I said lowering my voice as they approached.

Alyssa and Destiny answered the door brought them though and started quick introductions "this is Damon, Lissa (Vasilisa), Stefan, Elena, Jeremy, Amber, Skyla, Jade, Rachael, Alton, Amy and Isabella; our coven leader" there shocked stares pierced through me, I refused to look into Edward eyes "would you accept a tour of the house?"Destiny asked sure that I wanted the attention away from myself.

They made their way upstairs. I followed, unable to stop myself.
