This is where my story gets REAL good.
My mood ring is changing colors just thinking about it!
Are you guys excited about Twilight coming out on DVD tomorrow?
I know I am. I missed it in theaters so I can't wait!
I've been saving my money to buy it. I even passed up a chance for sushi(my fave) and ice cream!
Well anyway, here's the next chapter!

Chapter 5

Unexpected

Esme was at home adding finishing touches to the old house when we got there. She smiled at us through a vase of flowers she was setting on the piano.

"Hello dear. How was school?" She asked Renesmee using her maternal voice.

"Great. I made a lot of friends and no one stared at me all day." She replied sarcastically.

"Renesmee." I scolded sternly.

She apologized and ran off to her house. Her house.Was I crazy when I said she could live with Jacob? I walked up to my room. I had a lot of homework to get through. Another advantage of being a vampire: I could write really fast. I opened the door to my room and for a minute I thought I was hallucinating. Could vampires hallucinate? Edward was sitting on the black leather couch as if he was supposed to be there! When he saw me his eyes lit up-like they use to.

"Bella-"

"What are you doing here?" I sounded like I didn't really care. Even though I thought the total opposite.

He looked around. "I...live here." He said with fake confusion. Technically he was right, but I wasn't about to admit it.

"Shall we ask your brothers if you still live here? Maybe your sisters. Or better yet, let's ask your daughter." I hissed menacingly.

"What are you talking about?" He looked annoyed.

"I'm talking about your behavior and actions. I'm talking about how you treated your daughter when she only went to hear your side. That's right. She didn't believe me. She wanted to hear her father's explanation because she trusted him to tell her the truth." Edward looked sick. I continued releasing all the hate I had for him. "It's too bad she couldn't find him. Instead she found a heartless bastard. What's worse is knowing he'll never return." I finished in a grave voice. He never took his eyes from mine. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever.

Finally, he stood up. "That's the thing. I have come back. I left, but I'm back now. Can't we just forgive and forget?" He pleaded.

"I have." I replied simply. "I forgave you the moment you left. And I forgot you the second I met someone else."

He cringed. "Who?!"

I sat down nonchalantly. "You wouldn't know him...but you knew his dad. His name is Ben...Newton. He's really swee-"

"Newton?!"

"Yes, Newton. He asked me out and I gladly accepted."

I had never seen so many emotions on one face at the same time. Anger. Jealousy. Shock. Humor. Longing... I knew I was enjoying this too much, but I couldn't stop.

"It's actually rather comical. He has biology with me and guess where we sit."

The dark humor and jealousy over-ruled. "I bet he acts just like his dad." He was right on the nose with that one.

"We even have gym together. He does act a lot like Mike, but a better version. His sister is the same way."

Edward's face was dark with jealousy. "Bella I'm sorry. I don't know what was going through my mind. Inside I know that I still love you." His eyes bored into mine with sincerity. I wanted nothing more than to forgive him, but I couldn't. He did wrong. I can't just take him back. "I love you, Bella." I wanted to scream I love you too!, but I didn't. I controlled myself.

"Edward, you had as yours forever, but you dumped me to the side. I forgive you...but that doesn't mean you can come back." I said my voice didn't skip a beat.

His sad eyes looked into mine. "I'll leave if it makes you happy, but first could you do a small favor?" I eyed him with suspicion. "Could you show me the past few days?" He pleaded.

I figured it couldn't hurt to show him what's happened. I closed my eyes and removed my shield with ease. The last four days replayed in my mind. The emptiness. The threats from Jacob. The threats from his brothers. The threats from Charlie. Then I showed Ben and I walking and talking and sitting at our table in Biology. Finally, I ended with Ben asking me out. I opened my eyes and saw the grief on Edward's face. I walked over to the door and opened it.

"Goodbye Edward."

He stood up and started to walk out. "Goodnight Bella." He replied sounding hurt and defeated.

I heard his choice of words and stopped him. "Not goodnight. Goodbye." I corrected.

He left without another word. I collapsed onto the couch trying to understand what just happened. Alice and Rosalie knocked, but didn't wait for a reply.

"What was Edward doing here?" Alice asked.

"Oh good. You saw him, too. I was beginning to think I imagined it."

Alice asked again. "What did he want?"

"Forgiveness."

"I'm so sorry. I should have been watching out for him. I could have prepared you." She apologized.

"Nothing could have prepared me for that." I sat up. "Did Emmett and Jasper see him?" I asked a little worried.

They both looked down at their feet. "They're talking to him outside." Rosalie mumbled.

"Talking?! Meaning just words? or fists?"

"Talking right now, but it's about to get nasty." Alice whispered.

I ran out of the room. Esme was by the window wringing her hands.

"What's happening?" I cried.

She didn't answer. The door was open so I ran out following their scent. I heard faint voices in the distance.

"Why did you come back Edward?" Jasper asked menacingly.

"I wanted Bella to forgive me."

"Did you honestly think she would take you back?!" Emmett spat in a deadly tone.

"Give us one good reason why we shouldn't kill you."

Edward crumpled to the ground. "You should. Please just kill me."

Emmett and Jasper looked at each other. I was ready to defend Edward if they fought, but they didn't do anything.

"Come on Emmett. He's suffering more than we could ever do to him." Jasper reached for Emmett's arm, but Emmett pulled away.

He kneeled down so he was eye level with Edward. "If you ever come back...I'll kill you. You're my brother, but what you did to Bella is unforgivable. Even if she forgave you, don't expect the same chivalry from us." He warned.

Edward didn't move. They started to walk towards me. "Come on, Bella." Jasper reached out for me. I looked back a last time at the crumpled heap that was Edward. I turned and walked away with the boys leaving the love of my life on the ground. We walked in silence. Jasper didn't try any emotional stuff on me. Emmett wrapped his arms around me in an embrace. The house slowly came into view.

"I'm going over to see Renesmee." I stated.

They nodded and continued towards the house. I walked slowly practicing my human pace. I knocked on the door. Jacob answered with a welcoming smile. I hugged him.

"Hi Jacob." I breathed.

"Come on in." His husky voice soothed me. "By the way, thanks for letting us live here. In fact, we have some important news to tell you."

I looked around for Renesmee.

"Nessie! Your mom's here! Oh wait, I mean your sister!" He called.

Renesmee walked in. "Hey, mom. I'm glad you came."

She pointed to the chair for me to sit down. Her and Jacob took the loveseat. I know I've seen this somewhere before, but where?

"Mom, we have some big news." Renesmee stared.

"You're not pregnant are you?" I questioned suspiciously.

"No!" Jacob blurted. "I'm every bit as moral as Edward!"

It felt like a whole load had been lifted. I just assumed, being a mother a tend to do that a lot.

"No mom. We're getting married!" Renesmee squealed.

That's where I've seen this before! Edward and I telling Charlie. Even he assumed I was pregnant.

"Well, congratulations! It's about time you told me." I exclaimed.

They looked at each other. "What do you mean? He just asked me."

"I've been waiting for you to propose since she became an adult." I told Jacob.

They seemed a little shocked. I tried making conversation.

"Personally, I think it's a little weird. Don't you ever feel awkward?"

Renesmee looked confused. "What would be awkward?"

"If I knew my boyfriend made out with my mom, I would definitely feel awkward." I tried picturing Edward kiss Renee. Yeah! Bad image!

Renesmee looked at Jacob wide eyed. "You kissed my mom?!"

Jacob looked nervous. "Sorta. But it was before you were born!" He said in his defense.

Renesmee glared at him. "I bet you've thought of her naked, didn't you?"

Jacob started to protest.

"I bet Seth could tell me."

There was a long awkward silence. I laughed nervously. "I think I hear Alice calling me. Congrats again! Bye!" I backed out of the house. Well mother of the year strikes again.

Tell me, did you not love that chapter?
Not love as in happy, but love as in it was exciting.
Can you believe what just happened?
Okay I admit, there was begging, but it didn't do any good.
Bella held her ground. Bravo!
The story is almost over. Not much time left to figure out what happens.
Please write reviews!
Any ideas yet on the happy end?
