(A/N: alright, here's chapter two! So, here's the deal, I get ten reviews and I post the next chapter.
Carlisle: that's no fair.
Ugh, yes it is. I like reviews, they increase my self esteem.
Carlisle: I'll increase your self esteem, *wink wink*
Esme: What did you just say?
Hey, Esme, he just said he liked my story.
Esme: I'm watching you…
So, yeah, here's the story! Once again nothing belongs to me, except the plot of this fan fiction and Georgiana.
Carlisle: Leave her a review, and she'll give you a cookie!
R&R! And Enjoy!)
Esme and Carlisle were arguing. I felt awful because they were arguing about me.
"Carlisle, you're putting the entire family in danger. The Volturi had a reason for attacking her and they obviously wanted her dead," Esme said.
"Well, it's their fault they didn't kill her. They knew they left some blood in her veins." Carlisle defended. They'd been fighting like this for days.
"Georgiana?" I heard a voice say. I turned to see Bella standing in the doorway of my room. "I was going to meet Jacob for dinner, or, well you know what I mean, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me,"
"Yes! I'd love to see Jake!" I said. Bella knew I really wanted to get out of the house. I found a lovely black dress in my closet and some heels. I curled my hair and Bella grabbed the keys to Edward's Volvo.
"I hate taking my car," she explained. "It draws too much attention to myself." We listened to top 40 music the whole way to Port Angeles in silence. Once we got to the restaurant, I saw Jacob instantly.
"JACOB!" I screamed, running to hug him.
"Ugh, Georgiana, you reek!" he said, wrinkling his nose. That was when I smelled it; the overpowering scent of his blood. It felt like acid it my nose, and it was burning my throat. I felt Bella's hand wrap around my arm, but I was barely aware of it. The delicious scent was overpowering all of my senses. Jacob's eyes went wide, Bella said something; oh the blood. I wanted the blood.
"Georgiana, stop," Bella said. "Just don't breathe."
"Gee, are you okay?" Jacob asked. No, I was not okay. I would never be okay until I had his blood. "Gee?"
"Bella, help," I whimpered. Jake was one of my oldest and best friends, I didn't want to hurt him. Bella's hand came over my nose, blocking the addicting smell.
"Just hold your breathe and if you have to, breathe through your mouth," Bella instructed. I nodded and she let go of me.
"What the hell?" Jacob asked. Bella sighed.
"Jacob, I told you on the phone what happened." She said.
"So, you're a blood sucking leech now too?" Jacob said, trying to hold his breath.
"Yeah, but the Cullen's didn't turn me," I said. Jake ignored that.
"Your mom called us. She's been asking about you," Jacob said. My throat tightened and I felt the need to cry. I hated my mother and I didn't want anyone to mention her to me ever again.
"She doesn't care,"
"She says she's sorry,"
"Bullshit," I replied. Jake had a lot of ties with my mom, he loved her like she was his own mother. He refused to believe me about what she'd done to me. I could hear his heart beat.
"Let's get some food, huh?" Bella said. I sighed, vampires don't eat food. What was the point?
"Good idea, Bells," he replied, turning and heading into the restaurant. I was so pissed at him. He had no right to side with my mother on any of this! She'd kicked my out of the house after watching my father beat me half to death and not doing anything about it.
"Georgiana, it's okay," Bella whispered.

Once we got back home, Esme was gone. Carlisle was in his office, staring out at the dark night. Bella was trying to comfort Alice and Rosalie, and the boys had gone hunting.
"Carlisle?" I asked, opening the door to his office. He turned and smiled sadly at me. "Are you okay?"
"No, but I will be." He replied. I walked across the room to where he was sitting in front of the window. I put a hand on his shoulder and he held it. We stayed like that for a while. "She thinks you're my soul mate," Carlisle said after a while.
"What?" I asked.
"Esme and I were in love, but we both understood we were not each others' soul mate. We married because we were in love and so we could 'adopt' the others. It would have been strange to have an unmarried couple adopting so many children. I never thought the day would come when one of us found our soul mate," he explained. "She didn't want to stand in our way."
Relief washed over me. Carlisle had been feeling the way I had been feeling the few months I'd been living here. He was attracted to me. I felt like singing.
"Are you…do you think we're soul mates?" I asked. The word sounded so cheesy. I'd never believed in soul mates, but then again I'd never believed in vampires or werewolves either.
"Yes, I do. When you came to the hospital that night, the smell of your blood was so overpowering. I've become almost immune to the smell of human blood but yours, that was an entirely different story." He explained. "You were so young. You are only seventeen," He seemed to hate himself for it.
"Carlisle," I said, wrapping my arms around him. "I'm really not that young. I'm young in age, but I've been through things that most teenagers won't even go through when they're older. I'm mature, very mature for my age." He ran his fingers across my arm. "And anyway, I adore you,"
He turned to face me then. "Most people don't use that word anymore. It's tragic, because it's beautiful." He said. I smiled and hugged him closely, never wanting to let go. "It's beautiful, just like you," he whispered in my ear.
A knock sounded at the door. It was Edward, I could tell. His knock seemed angry. "Come in," Carlisle said.
"What's the real reason Esme left?" Edward asked as soon as the door was open. He stalked over to us and glared at me. "Because of her?" he pointed an accusing finger at me.
"Edward,"
"That's what Alice said. Because of YOU!" he yelled. "Because you're Carlisle's 'soul mate' and she didn't want to stand in the way of that!" I'd never seen him this angry before, and I was terrified.
"Edward, Esme's coming back! She may be gone for a few centuries but she will be back," Carlisle said. It amazed me that they could say 'a century' and mean it as a short period of time. "You knew we were not soul mates."
"What if the Volturi find her?" Edward yelled.
"Aro, Caius and Marcus are my old friends. They adore Esme and would never attack her," Carlisle replied, calmly.
"Yes, they 'adore' her. They may convince her to join them!" Edward shouted. Carlisle was so calm, it made Edward even more angry.
"They aren't evil Edward, they are just enforcing the law."
"They weren't enforcing the law when they attacked Georgiana," Edward shot back. I sighed. Somehow, the fight always came back to me.
"They aren't like us, Edward. They feed on human blood. They may have been heading home, they smelled blood and they were thirsty,"
"Why are you siding with them?" Edward yelled. He stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind him.
"I apologize for his behavior," Carlisle said after a while. "He's known Esme so long it's hard for him to let go. It's going to be hard for all of us."
"Does he hate me?" I asked in a small voice.
"No, he does not hate you. He's just—angry at you. He will come around, I promise," Carlisle said. He grabbed my hand and ran his thumb over my knuckles.

Everyone else seemed just as angry as Edward, they just didn't show it around me. I felt awful. I found myself wishing the Volturi had murdered me.
Bella was the only one who wasn't angry. She took me shopping and hunting. Finally, she took me to see Renesmee. She knew I could resist the smell.
We went to her father, Charlie's house. He opened the door and I found myself missing my own father.
"Hey Bells," he said.
"Hi dad. This is Georgiana. Georgiana this is my dad, Charlie." Bella said. I shook hands with him and he invited us in. The house was small but cozy. There was left over take out on the kitchen table and toys on the floor.
We walked into the family room and sat on the couch, Charlie sitting in a chair across from us.
"She wants to meet Renesmee," Bella said. "Where is she?"
"She's actually with Jacob today." Charlie replied. "They'll be back any minute. So, Georgiana, tell me about yourself." Charlie's smile made me feel a little more comfortable.
"I'm from Chicago, I'm seventeen and I'm a bit of a geek, I like history a lot. My parents kicked me out of the house, and that's why I'm living with the Cullens," I said.
"Why would they kick you out?" Charlie asked. Bella gave him a look but I smiled.
"Because I got pregnant." I replied. Charlie nodded and didn't press any further, thankfully. Bella told me he was like that.
"I know you were staying with Billy and Jacob, but why are you staying with the Cullens now?" he asked. Bella gave him another look. "What? I'm just curious,"
"Carlis- I mean Dr. Cullen rescued me. I got in a car crash on my way out of LaPush and he helped me get better," I said.
"You were the girl in the car on that side street," Charlie realized. "Oh my god. We all thought you were dead. We just asked Dr. Cullen to take you to the hospital so you didn't have to die on the side of the road. We asked him to take care of you just in case."
"You thought I was dead?" I asked. My throat started closing up; death, everyone had thought I was dead. I shuddered.
"Yeah. Wow, no one told me you survived." Charlie said.
We heard the front door open and I smelled Jacob instantly. I held my breath as he came into the room. There was a beautiful young girl next to him. She looked about seven or so. Her hair was really curly and blonde. She was beautiful, breathtaking.
"Gee! How are you!" Jacob said excitedly. He came over and gave me a huge hug. I smiled and hugged him back, holding my breath.
Renesmee came over to Jake and pointed at me. "Oh, sorry. Nessie, this is Georgiana. And Georgiana, this is Renesmee," Jacob said. I smiled and bent down.
"Hi, Renesmee." I said. She placed her hand on my face and I was flooded with images. Memories perhaps? I saw the crash, Jacob with tears in his eyes, Carlisle kneeling next to my body, examining me with a hand over his nose. She removed her hand and smiled at me.
"Hi," she said, an adorable little smile on her face. I stared at her in awe.
"How does she do that?" I asked. Bella glanced over at Charlie, who got up.
"Does anybody want something to eat?" he asked, walking out of the room. Bella sat down on the floor beside me.
"Vampires each have a special power. She can speak without speaking, I can protect others' mind, Edward can read minds; we each have a unique power. That's hers." Bella explained.
"Do I have a special power?" I asked. Bella nodded.
"It just takes a really long time to master it, or even learn what it is." Bella said. I sighed and nodded.
As if on cue, Charlie re-entered the room. He had a beer bottle in one hand and chips in the other.
"Dad, you haven't been living on beer and chips have you?" Bella asked.
"Billy and I bring him dinner and lunch every other day," Jacob said. "Don't worry, we're taking good care of him."
After a while, Jacob took me outside to talk.
"So, how are you?" he asked. "Still crazy for my blood,"
I laughed and wrapped my jacket around me. "No, don't worry. I won't attack you," I replied.
"I heard Esme left," He said. It sounded like more of a question. I nodded. "Why?"
"Because Carlisle and I are soul mates," I mumbled. Jacob stared at me.
"Wait, what?"
"Carlisle and I are like Bella and Edward, we're soul mates," I repeated.
"But he's old," Jacob replied. The rain was pouring, ruining my hair, which drove me crazy. I put my hood up and wrapped my arms around myself.
"Yeah, but they all are," I replied.
"They're all frozen at our age, he's frozen at like twenty!" Jacob said. I took a deep breath trying to calm myself down.
"Jake, his age doesn't matter. I'm in love with him," I said.
"Really?" Jacob asked. "You've known the guy for a few months and you're in love with him. He's ancient!" Jacob shot back angrily.
"Jake, when you're frozen at seventeen forever, until the apocalypse, age doesn't matter at all." I replied. "And yes, I'm in love with him. I adore him."
"Whatever," Jacob said, walking back into the house angrily. I sighed. I loathed it when he did this.

Bella and I headed home at midnight. "I'm sorry about Jacob," She said.
"Don't be. It's not your fault," I replied, singing along to the song on the radio.
"He's just…he doesn't like the Cullens. He hates Edward because he was in love with me… and since he's a werewolf hating the Cullens is just in his blood." She explained.
"He told me about you," I admitted. "And how he was really hurt, but he said that you have to hit rock bottom before things ever get better." I explained.
"I regret hurting him, really I do. I wish I didn't. But I love Edward." She said. "Did you think I was a huge bitch?"
"A little," I replied. "But I didn't even know you. Now, I just think you're awesome." I said, laughing. She laughed along with me
When we got home, Carlisle was in his office, reading.
"Hey," I said quietly from the door way. Carlisle smiled and set the book on his desk.
"How was your visit?" he asked. I came over and sat on his lap, curling up against him.
"It was okay. Jacob and I got in a fight." I replied.
"Physical?"
"No!" I said, laughing. "Verbal. I may have awesome strength but I think he could still beat me in a fight." Carlisle's hand was stroking my back and I smiled. I felt so complete.
"What did you fight about?"
"You,"
"That's what I thought," he said, wrapping his arms around me.
"Bella told me vampires have special powers," I said. "What's mine?" Carlisle smiled and kissed the top of my head.
"WE can work on it now if you want," he said.
"Nah," I replied. "I'm too content right now," I wrapped my arms around his neck. He chuckled.
"Alright. Cuddling sounds good to me," he said. He kissed my forehead and I rested my head in the crook of his neck.
"I love you," I whispered. He smiled.
"I love you too," he replied.

Carlisle and I practiced on getting my power to come out over the next few days. I was so tired that I eventually just gave up. I sat on the couch and read for a while, since no one really wanted to talk to me and Carlisle was at the hospital a lot. Edward went out of his way to give me dirty looks. It drove me crazy.
"Carlisle," I asked one night when he came home from work. "When is Edward going to come around?"
Carlisle glanced up from a paper and motioned for me to come sit on his lap. I cuddled up against his chest and he stroked my hair.
"Edward is very stubborn. If you want him to come around, you're going to have to make him come around." I rolled my eyes. "You have to talk to him and tell him that you're really annoyed with this."
"God, I hate confrontation," I said. Carlisle smiled and planted a soft kiss on my neck.
"You'll be fine. I know you will,"
I got up and walked to Edward's room. I knocked and heard an annoyed sigh.
"What?" He asked, angry. He opened the door and I walked in, shutting it behind me.
"Edward, what is your problem with me? Why did you convince everyone in this house to hate me? Why are you such an ass?" I asked, yelling.
"Wow," Edward said, sitting on his couch.
"Answer the questions!" I yelled.
"Because you took Esme's place in Carlisle's heart," he replied.
"Edward I never meant to take her place." I said. "I'm sorry, I really am. But I love Carlisle okay. I've never felt this way about anyone in my entire life. The last guy I was in love with left me pregnant and didn't care." I said.
"I know. I'm sorry," he said. I walked over and hugged him tightly.
"So we're cool?" I asked. He nodded.
"We're cool," he replied. I smiled.
"I'll go tell the others not to hate you," he said.
"You told them to hate me!" I shot back.
"I said if they didn't, I would tell Carlisle that they do it in his and Esme's room when they're not home," He said. I burst out laughing.
"That's awful!" I said.
"That must be why you're laughing," he said, laughing with me.
