Edward never called and I didn't blame him. Why would he want anything to do with the women that slept with another man and on top of that lied about who the father of their son was? It's been a year since I left Forks and moved to Seattle with Elijah he was just over 2 years old now and starting to look like Emmett more and more each day.

I still lived with Rosalie she was by life saver. She allowed me to live with her when Edward never called. She helped me get a job at a magazine company it was a fashion magazine but still it help to pay the bills and she took care of Elijah when I couldn't.

"Mummy, Aunty Rosie take care me." Elijah asked while playing with his breakfast.

"Yes baby, mummy has to go to work again. But I'll be home real soon I promise." Elijah was such a good baby for me, he barely ever chucked tantrums.

"Hey Bella, how are you today?" Rosalie asked walking into the room.

"Good I suppose." Rosalie just like Alice knew how to read me like a book.

"Bullshit, your thinking about that drop beat who didn't call you back. Stop it forget about him and move on with your life." Rosalie always spoke the truth even if you didn't want to hear it.

"Sorry Rose it's just that it's been exactly a year since I left and nothing not even any divorce papers or anything. I just want to know that he's ok. What I did was horrible and knowing Edward he's probably beating himself up over it." There wasn't one day that goes by that I don't regret what I did to Edward.

"He's a big boy plus he has his family to take care of him. Look just go to work don't think about him, you can do it. You need to do this so you can move on with your life." Rosalie was right I couldn't do anymore. The only way for me to find out if Edward was ok was to get in contact with him or his family and I wasn't going to do that, not at the risk of upsetting them anymore. I picked up my bag ready for work.

"Thanks Rose you're a great friend I'll try and get home as soon as I can."

"Don't worry I love my days with Elijah anyway." She looked down at my son with so much love. She was so good with him, she was like his second mum.

"Bye baby I'll see you later." I kissed him on the forehead and turned to walk out when I heard.

"Bullshit mummy." Rosalie just cracked up laughing.

"You need to make sure Aunty Rosie puts a dollar in the swear jar for teaching you that." I said glaring at Rosalie.

"Sure, sure Bella now just go to work." I headed out the door towards work.

Work was boring I had finished my article earlier then I thought. The only reason I was still here was because we had a new fashion columnist coming in and my boss was making all of us meet her. I had just come back from lunch when I ran into my boss Mr Newton.

"Ah Bella just the person I wanted to see. Our new fashion columnist has just arrived and I would like you to show her around the office. Make her feel welcome will you she? She's waiting in my office." Mr Newton walked off without even waiting for me to answer. I walked into his office to find a petite women sitting with her back towards me.

"Um hi Mr Newton sent me to show you around the office. I'm Isabella Swan." I had stopped using Cullen when I came to Seattle I didn't feel I deserved to use their name anymore. The women slowly turned around and there sat in front of me was Alice, Edwards's sister. She glared at me.

"What are you doing here Isabella?" She was pissed at me she never use to use my full name unless she was angry.

"I work here now."

"How bloody fantastic. I get to work with my ex sister in law who broke my brother's heart."

"Alice listen."

"No you listen you broke his heart and you didn't care. How could you do that to him?" She was standing up screaming now. The other people in the office were looking in on our little spat.

"Alice maybe we should take this somewhere else more private." I was begging I didn't want this to go around the office.

"Fine but only because I don't want stories started on the first day and you owe me an explanation." She stood and grabbed her bag and stomped out of the office. I went and found Mr Newton telling him that I was taking Alice for coffee to make her feel more welcomed and grabbed my bag and followed her.

"Where's your house I'm not doing this in public. We need to talk about some personal problems that have nothing to do with anyone not involved."

"Just a few blocks away. Here follow me." We walked in silence all the way home not making eye contact. She was angry at me and she had every right to be I had hurt her brother badly. We arrived at my house.

"Would you like anything to drink?" I asked trying to be polite.

"Just a tea please." She answered not really looking at me.

"White with two sugars." Her eyebrows rose then.

"You remember how I like my tea?"

"Alice we've been best friends since we were 14 of course I remember." I said giving her a slight smile. I saw the corners of her mouth twitch up but then fell back into the scowl. I was busying myself making her tea.

"Bella why did you do it I've tried to understand so many times but I don't get it I thought you and Edward were in love." I stopped what I was doing and turned to her so I could speak to her face.

"I don't know we just got really drunk and it just happened. It wasn't planned or anything."

"That's not really a good enough answer." She said frowning.

"I know it's not but it's all I have." She just kept looking at me frowning.

"I just felt so closed in then Alice. We had just turned 21 and Edward already wanted a family. I felt like I had to be the perfect little house wife for him. So that night I just let go and drank. I just wanted to be able to enjoy being young for one night instead of having to be an adult all the time. It just got to the point where I drank too much that I couldn't tell the difference between wrong and right."

"When did it happen?"

"The night of your party." Her eyebrows once again rose.

"So it happened in my house, when I was there?" I just merely nodded.

"Who was it I knew everyone at that party. I swear to god tell me so I can kill that dickward." I shook my head I wasn't going to get Emmett in trouble with his family. I had already hurt this family enough for one lifetime.

"Damn it Bella tell me. I have a right to know." I broke down and cried I had hurt all of these people so much and she did have the right to know, but I couldn't do it. She came over and held my face in her hands.

"Please Bella so I can have peace of mind. I won't tell Edward."

"I wish I could Alice, but I can't it'll just ruin everything even more." I continued to cry. Alice looked torn. On one hand she looked like she wanted to hug me and comfort me but on the other she looked like she wanted to slap me. I closed my eyes ready for whatever hurt she wanted to give me. But I didn't instead I felt two little arms wrap around me.

"I'm sorry for being harsh Bella. It's just this is my family that are hurting and once you were a part of that."

"It's ok Alice I understand I would be the same way if it were me in your shoes." Just then Rose walked in the door with Elijah.

"Hey Bella, wait what's wrong."

"Nothing everything is fine, promise." Rose looked at Alice trying to work out who she was.

"Rose this is Alice Cullen, Edward's sister." Rose's eyes were huge with that announcement.

"Holy shit."

"Rose!" I said looking at Elijah who was paying too much attention to what was being said. She just rolled her eyes.

"So what are you doing here?" Rose asked bluntly to Alice.

"I work with Bella and there were a few things we needed to discuss." Alice looked down to Elijah, her eyes slightly bulged. She turned to me with questions in her eyes. I just shook my head letting her know I'll answer them another time.

"I'll see you tomorrow at work Bella. Maybe we can have a coffee so we can talk more." She hinted subtly.

"Sure we can do that Alice." She turned to Rose and Elijah.

"It was nice meeting you Rose. Bye Elijah." She turned to walk out the door.

"Bye Bye Aunty Ali." Elijah called I don't know why he called her that but she stopped for a split second before leaving.

"Well that was definitely interesting. Anything you want to tell me Bella?"

"Not particularly maybe later. Come on little man mummy needs to clean your face of all this ice cream Aunty Rosie's been feeding you." Rose just poked her tongue out at me.

I didn't know what working with Alice was going to bring, but I knew she wouldn't stop asking questions until she knew everything.
