As soon as my plane landed, I went to a car shop. The saleman looked surprised as I handed him cash for my convertible porshe but it didn't stop him from giving me my keys and letting me drive away. It wasn't raining, but there was plenty of cloud coverage so I was wouldn't need to hide from everybody today. I had put on aviators so no one would recognise me. I was driving fast so I was in Forks within the hour. I wasn't going to go to Charlie's, not after what he did to me. I needed to emotionally prepare myself for going there, so it would be a few days. I probably wouldn't show my face though - I didn't need to give Charlie a heart attack.

There was the fact that I hadn't aged in 17 years, but I could just blame that on botox which was azazing now. A really wrinkled granny could go in and come out looking as if she were younger than me. I figured I'd go to Angela's house and stay there. I wanted to say hi to her and Ben. I wondered if they'd gotten married or if they had children. I really hoped they hadn't broken up.

I parked my porshe outside before I hesitantly knocked on the door. Angela opened it. She looked good for her age - warm blue eyes, waist length brown hair, she looked much the same as she had in highschool. She smiled her kind, heart warming smile and asked, "Can I help you? If your lost or something, I can show you the way."

"Uh ... no. Listen, Angela, how are you?" She still didn't recognise me. I could see in her face that she was shocked because she didn't know who I was and how I knew her name.

"Me?" Her voice had gone up several octaves. "How do you know me?"

I glanced around at the people staring, "Can we talk inside?"

"Um ..."

"I promise you I have no weapons or anything. i'm not going to hurt you."

"Okay, come on in." Once she closed the doors behind her, she started pacing, "Do I know you?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"I used to be a friend."

"I don't remember ever being friends with someone that pale. Sure, there was the Cullens back in highschool but none of them had brown hair." I cringed internally.

"I'm not a Cullen." I answered, my voice loud and clear.

"Okay. Um, where did I meet you?"

"Here, in Forks."

"Er ... I really don't know who you are."

I sighed. I had hoped it wouldn't be this hard. I wanted her to realise it was me, guess I'd have to tell her. I couldn't believe she didn't recognise me, even with my aviators on, I'd always thought I looked reconisable.

"Do you really not recognise me, Angela? We had been best friends. I suppose I'll just have to tell you. Do you remember highschool? I was the new girl, Bella Swan." Her eyes widened in shock. "Yeah, I know. The one with the scandel."

BPOV

I took off my aviators. "B-b-b-b-b-but y-y-y-y-you're s-s-s-s-supposed to be lost! Dead! Not alive! You look the same as before!"

"Calm down." Once she did, I continued. "I'm going to start from the start. You know that Edward Cullen and I broke up, that he moved, but I never told anyone what had really happened. So here it is, you might want to sit down."

"The day Edward and I broke up, was the day I had been planning to tell him I was pregnant. It was the day before my birthday that we ... you know. I had prepared myself and ...

FLASHBACK

We were in the forest, Edward was with me. I was nervous about telling him that the impossible had indeed happened, that he was going to be a father. I had no idea how he was going to react to it, or the rest of the family. He had been sort of distant the last few days, but I had thought that was to be expected given what had happened in my party.

"I need to tell you something." We said at the exact same time. "You go first." I said.

"Bella, my family are leaving."

"I'll go with you."

"No. I ... I don't want you Bella. I don't love you. Getting together with you was just for fun, a bet. I'm sorry if I hurt you." I felt the tears filling my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I was not going to let him know that inside my heart was breaking. I wasn't going to tell him I was pregnant, not now. That would just be forcing him to be with me.

END FLASHBACK.

Angela had tears in her eyes, "I'm so sorry Bella." I just continued with my story.

"So, as you know, I went home. I was catonic for a few weeks before I started going to school. Everyone was trying to talk to me, but I didn't pay attention. I spoke only when spoken to, apart from that, I did nothing. I was starting to show after a few months but everyone thought I was just putting on weight. It was then I started to really show.

"You know how everyone was. Charlie and Renee disowned me, refused to talk, and everyone else in school wouldn't talk to me. You heard all of the rumors. You know that in the end it was thought I was having Mike's children because I had rebound sex with him. Mike, being the pompous brat he is, encouraged them.

"So, then I was left with my only friend - you. You helped me get through some rough patched, nad you were there when I gave birth to the twins. It was a couple of days after that, that I talked to Jacob. He wasn't .. pleased I had Edward's children, he was quite angry. He ... punched me. I know it was just anger, but it was then I decided to leave without a word. I took Elle and Alice and left."

Angela now was crying her eyes out. I knew I would be too if I could cry. "Why did you come back?" She whispered.

"Because," I knew I'd be hysterical if I was human, " a day or so ago, I ran into the Cullens." Angela looked even more shocked, if that was possible.

"So, you decided to move back here?"

"Not move, visit. The Cullens brought back some painful memories, and seeing Edwaard's face just reminded me of here. I thought that, maybe, if I went back here, I could get over it, you know? "

"Yes."

"So, how is everyone? Are you and ben still together?"

"Yes. He's away on a buisness trip now - he works as a lawyer - but we're content. We've been thinking of adding a new member to the family actually." Some how she seemed depressed as she said this.

"That's great!"

"Yeah."

"How ... How's ... "

"Charlie?" Angela finished for me gently. "Well, after you left, everyone supposed you were dead. I mean, you;'ve been gone 17 years with no word to anybody so what was everyone supposed to think. Charlie is still alive, just not happy. I think he really misses you. When he heard you went missing, he sent out search parties galore, he refused to even think you were dead for years. Everyone wondered about teh twins, whether they were dead too."

"They're not."

"Bella?" She asked me quietly. "I ... After you left, after teh Cullens left, I started thinking. About the fact they never really stopped aging, about their pale skin, and their eyes that seemed to change colour. And ... well, I came to the conclusion that they were vampires and you are too."

"What! You're crazy!"

"Bella, I know I'm right." And that same look came over her face, sad, mourning. "Because Ben's one too."

It was my turn to look shocked.

"It was 10 years ago. Ben had just gotten his degree and he was travelling to Volterra, where his job interview was. We had been estatic when he got the job! It paid well and we bought a house. We had been thinking of bringing in a new member to the family and on our wedding night, we suceeded.

I was estatic! I'd planned a romantic dinner to tell him, but he was running late. I thought it was strange, since he was always on time but I thought he was probably just being held back in the office. So, I waited, and I waited. It was when hours had passed and he still hadn't shown that I phoned the police. They sent search parties around the city, put up posters and put it on the news.

But he was never found. I gave birth to Michael Ben Weber alone. I refused the help of my parents or anyone else. When Michael was 3, I saw him. He came into the house and explained it all to me, told me that he was a vampire now and that he couldn't see me anymore. I had always hung onto that last shred of hope and hearing that he couldn't be with me made me sink into depression.

Some one called child services, thought I was being an unfit mother, so my mother took care of him for a year. It only tore me apart further. Then, one day, all of the pain I felt just transformed into anger. I couldn't beleive he'd left me after all he said! After my anger cooled down again, I got Michael back.

So here I am." I looked around at Angela's house, and realised how bad she did have it. The house looked shabby and uncleaned, there was little furniture and anything there was looked cheap.

But she merely shrugged when I questioned how she was money wise, "There aren't much jobs available."

AN: Okay, I'm really sorry if this sounds bad but I thought I should put in some more drama for this because I reallly wanted to include Angela in this story. I'm also sorry if this is bad but I'm sick and I've puked 9 times today, even though I haven't actually ate anything. The last one was YUCK! It was like all flem or something! Anyway! that sounds SO sick so I'm oging to stop being yuck now! PLEASE review! It'll REALLY cheer me up!
