Chapter 7: Confessions

When I pulled up to school the next morning I didn't know what I was going to do to just make it through the day. As I walked to my first class I got lots of 'Great Jobs' and 'You were awesome.' I just said thanks and kept on walking not even paying attention to who was talking to me. In my second period class I noticed that Alice was not present. I hope that I wasn't the reason for that I just didn't know what else to do. Lunch came before I knew it and I sat alone, none of the Cullen's showed up. I still couldn't figure out why that was, I decided after how bad this day was going I was just going to go home.

When I pulled up to the Cullen's home it didn't look like any one was home, but I figured I could just go ahead and go up to my room. When I got up there they had left a note on the bed for me.

Dear Isabella,

We all went out looking for you last night and couldn't find you. We couldn't get into your house either some bubble like thing was keeping us out. We all went to hunt so we could give you time to figure out what ever it is that you need to work through. The only person who didn't go was Edward who said he had his own things to work out and that he would leave you alone if that is what you needed. I really wish you would have let someone know where you were going or at least kept your shield down so Alice could make sure you were okay. If we did anything that hurt you please forgive us. Your song was beautiful as well we hope to hear some more of your music someday. See you later tonight.

Signed,

The Cullen Family

I felt like such an idiot, I never even thought about what my disappearing would do to my new family. I just don't know what to do. I wish Alice was here, she would know what to do. I need someone to talk to other than Edward. Then I heard her tinkling laugh as she jumped though my open window. "You wanted me?"

"Alice." I said jumping up and hugging her. I knew we had only known each other for a short of time but I felt closer to Alice then most of my coven members at home and I've known them all longer. I'm not saying they are all bad I just not close to many of them at all. "I'm so glad that you are here. I need your advice and I need it bad."

"Bella, you just need to follow your heart girl." She pauses looking for the right words it seems, "Look I know you love Edward, I could tell even before that song and I think you need to find out how he feels about you before you think about running away again. I understand it's hard because you don't want to get hurt but sometimes you have to get hurt to find true love."

"Ugh, Alice I know I'm just not good in these situations, every guy that I have ever dated hurt me. I don't want Edward to be like that. I have never felt this way before." I said.

"Bella, look at me. Edward would never hurt you. I can't say that I have seen your future so I can't promise anything but let me tell you this. I have seen a difference in Edward since you came here. I know you don't notice it since the truth is you haven't been here long enough."

"Where is he Alice, he wasn't at school and he's not here." I asked.

"I don't know, all I can tell you is he needed time to think." Alice said as if that was some kind of key to finding where he was, then it dawned on my just how stupid I was being. He was in his meadow because that's where he goes to think. He told me that just the other day.

I hugged Alice one more time and ran for the door, "Thank you Alice." I heard Alice laughing in response. Now all I had to do was drive to where I knew my Edward was going to be and just hope that I haven't ruined every chance I had with him. When I got to where he led me to last time I parked my car but I didn't see his Volvo anywhere around but that doesn't mean he isn't here it just means that he ran here.

I got out of my truck and started walking towards where the meadow was at. I hope that I am making the right choice here, I thought to myself.

When I finally got to the meadow Edward was no where to be seen so I walked over to the rock that I had sat on last time and just dry sobbed while wishing once again that I could cry real tears to just let everything out. "Are you okay?" asked a velvety voice.

I looked up and there stood my God, Edward. "Yes, I was just thinking about somethings."

"Would you like to talk about them?" he asked.

"No but we can talk about something else." I said smiling at him and patting the spot next to me. "Who did you write that song for the other night."

"Oh, um, that was sort of written for you. You inspired it." He said looking down. If I could have blushed I would have. "Did you like that?"

"Yes it was very beautiful, maybe you could play it for me again sometime." I said smiling. I was someone special to him.

"Sure, I could make you a cd as well if you would like." He said smiling. "Who was your song about?"

"I, um, well," I stuttered, I knew now was the time that I should tell him but the words couldn't come out, I felt like a complete idiot.

"I know it was about me," he said with confidence. The next thing he did was lean in and kiss me. It was so sweet and full of passion. My hands instinctively went up and tangled in his hair to hold him closer to me. I never wanted to let go, when we finally broke the kiss we were both panting for much unneeded breath. "I love you, Bella."

"I love you too." I said smiling. I couldn't believe that I was so worried that he wouldn't feel the same about me.

"Bella, why did you run away from me last night?" He asked.

"I was so scared that you did not feel the same way about me as I did about you." I said looking down, but he wouldn't have any of that. He put his finger under my chin and made me look into his eyes which shone of nothing but love and happiness. That's when I pulled him in for another kiss.

When we were finally done kissing we both got up and walked back to my car and headed back to the house. It was still early when we got home and I notice that the family was already back at home. "Hello guys." I said as I walked into the house. In less than a minute everyone was standing in front of me.

"Oh dear, are you okay?" asked Esme in a very caring and motherly tone. I could tell that I really had her worried.

"Yes, mom, I'm fine now." I said looking at Esme and then Edward. Esme had such a happy face on her that I could tell if she could cry I know she would be. I used this moment to read everyone's minds.

Oh Edward has finally found someone I'm so happy for them both they make such a cute couple. (Esme).

Oh awesome I have a new little sister. (Emmett).

All this happiness its like they are all leaking rainbows. (Jasper) This one made me giggle a little at the idea of leaking rainbows.

Oh I'm so glad that she listened to me, and went to talk to him. Oh I cant wait to take my new sister shopping. (Alice)

"Ugg Alice is that all you think about is shopping." I growned while she laughted.

Your fault for reading my mind. (Alice)

Edward, I'm very happy for the both of you. I'm very glad that you have finally found your someone special (Carlisle).

Look at my nails, I need a manicure they look so bad. The paints just chipping off of all of them. (Rosalie) Wow I knew she seemed vain but I guess she really is. Or maybe she is just blocking her thoughts from Edward. I quickly turned off my mind reading talent, I didn't like to use it very often when I notice that Alice went into a vision.

"What do you see Alice," Jasper said.

As soon as she came out of the vision Alice squealed, "There is going to be a thunderstorm tonight."

"What does a thunderstorm have to do with anything." I asked wondering what the hell was going on.

"Do you want to play some baseball?" Edward asked with a grin.

Baseball? Okay what the hell next vampires playing tennis.

A/N: I hate doing these but just wanted to let people know that I am going through a breakup so it might take some time to finish the next chapter. I have started it but since its a romance I can expect some difficulties with this right now. Thank you.
