We're not broken

Just bent

And we can learn to love again

Chapter 8

After everyone helped me back up off of the ground I realized something important. Edwards face no longer dazzled me like it had before, I no longer felt weak and vulnerable when he was around, my knees didn't get weak and I certainly didn't have a racing pulse. Some of those things didn't happen when I looked at Alec either, but that was because what I had with Alec was no passing infatuation but real true love. I stepped back away from Edward and buried myself in Alec's arms. I took a deep breath savoring his fresh clean smell. I didn't know when I had gotten so comfortable around Alec, we had never expressed our feelings for eachother until that day in the baby store and even then I didn't know what had come over us. Maybe it was just that we both felt in love with each other and forgot about the whole making it official part. I laughed to myself, partially out of happiness of being in Alec's arms and partially because somehow, I could feel Edward's jealousy radiating off of him. Or maybe I was imagining things. I shook the feeling off and turned around looking up at the faces that had left me over a year ago. I still felt betrayed by them but I could see that they really did love me and really had thought what they were doing was best for me so I decided to let it go, no not forgive them because I didn't know if I would ever come to a point where I could forgive what they did to me, but I let it go.

"Alright, well, Alice, why don't you help our guest get situated into the guest rooms, certainly you don't plan on leaving for a while, right Bella?" Carlisle said while looking at me.

"No, of course not, we plan on staying for about a week just to make sure the girls are going to be getting on well here, if that's alright with you guys." I said as Alice led me, Alec, and Jane up the stairs and towards a hallway.

" well, we only have two guest rooms as of right now, we're still furnishing the other three so I guess two of you will have to stay together and one of you will get their own room, sorry for the inconvenience" Said Alice frowning and gesturing to two doorways.

"I call my own room!" screamed Jane giggling and locking herself into the bedroom on the right.

"After you, princess." Alec said opening the door for and bowing. I laughed and punched him lightly in the shoulder reminding him again that he was supposed to call me Bella.

The room was very nice, but not nearly at the level that we, the Volturi, had in our castle. It still felt weird calling myself a Volturi. To my horror, there was only one bed, a queen size double bed in the middle of the room. If I was still human, I would be bright red at the moment.

"Bella, it's ok, remember you're a vampire, we don't sleep" Said Alec in between bursts of laughter.

"Oh, right, I completely forgot." I said sheepishly, he must have seen the look on my face when I looked at the bed.

"Come on, lets go downstairs so Edward can send me death glares again" Said Alec jokingly, even thought I knew he was completely serious. Edward had been sending him looks of death since the minute we walked in.

"Alright, let me just freshen up and change I feel like iv been in these clothes for months." We had been in an airplane since morning and even though I didn't sweat anymore I still felt oddly sticky and hot.

I grabbed a simple outfit that consisted of a loose grey tanktop that was only tight on my breasts, a pair of skin tight black skinny jeans, a bright red bandue for under the shirt and knee high black leather boots. After my shower I decided to just put my long hair up into a messy high bun and went against putting on any makeup. After deeming myself more than decent I put on a smile and made my way downstairs only to find Edward flying across the room and slamming Alec into the wall.
