As always I do not own Twilight.


I sighed and staring at the clouds through the window. I was on a plane heading to Forks. We had left New York a few hours ago and would be arriving in Seattle soon. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. I kept thinking about the reasons I moved to New York, my life there, Danny, different thoughts just would kept on coming.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if I could have your attention, I would like to inform you all that we will be arriving in Seattle, Washington in ten minutes. Please fasten on your seatbelts and be prepared for landing." The stewardess voice said through the speakers.

The plane finally landed and we all walked off the plane. We went through the airport to baggage claim.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The drive from the airport was ok, felt a little long though, even at the speed Alice was driving. I was looking out the window and noticed it had started to rain. I was definitely in Forks again. I closed my eyes and laid my head back on the headrest.

"Bella, love, we'll be home in a few minutes." Edward whispered softly.

I nodded my head, letting my mind wander again.

"Bella?" Edward said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hmm?"

"We're here."

I opened my eyes and gasped. We were in front of the Cullen house.

"Wait. Why I am here?"

Before Edward could answer, the door opened and Charlie flew down the stairs. "Hey kiddo. I missed you. How are you?"

He wrapped his arms around me. "Hi, dad, I'm fine."

"Let's go inside, it's raining, I don't want you to freeze." Edward said softly.

We got inside and I sat down next to him, tucking my feet underneath me. Edward settled himself on the couch next to me. We all sat talking in the living room for awhile.

Around ten thirty Charlie got up. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to be heading home. I have work in the morning."

I got up as well as Charlie walked over to me and kissed my forehead. "I'll see you tomorrow, kiddo."

"Tomorrow? Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Bellllla, your staying here, with us." Alice sang happily. I opened my mouth to say something but she cut me off. "And don't try arguing, it won't work."

I looked at dad and smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow dad, how about we meet for dinner?"

"Sounds good, kiddo. Goodnight."

"Night, dad"

I watched my dad walk out the door before turning to Alice.

"Alright, Alice, lead me to my room." I was tired, the plane ride wasn't that long but I was feeling a little jet lagged.

EPOV

I was standing near the police cruiser with Charlie, he had asked to talk to me before he left. He wanted to know how Bella was really doing.

"She still won't talk about Danny, she's shut everyone out."

Charlie nodded sadly. He knew that Danny's death was killing her inside.

"It breaks my heart that Bella wouldn't let anyone help her get through her grief. I'm worried about her."

"We all are Chief Swan, but Alice is confident that Bella will talk about it when she's ready"

He nodded again looking at his hands. "Umm... Edward, I want to thank you for helping her through all this. It helps me worry less that you and your family are watching over her. If you weren't, I think this would be a whole lot harder on her."

"Your welcome Chief Swan, We'd do anything to help her."

"Yeah, I know. Thank you again, take care of her. Call me if she needs anything. " With that he climbed into the cruiser and drove away.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up and looked at the clock, it was ten in the morning. I was still very tired, Alice hadn't let me go to sleep until three thirty. Edward came into the room and finally forced her to go away. I got up, rubbed my eyes, and went downstairs, into the kitchen.

Esme was there, cooking. "Good morning, Bella."

I sat down on the stool. "Good morning, Esme"

"Are you hungry?"

I mumbled. "A little."

"Well, your just in time. I hope you like it." She said placing a plate of food in front of me. She had me pancakes with strawberries on top, bacon, eggs, and toast.

I cut it into my pancakes and put it into my mouth. "Mmm, Esme, this is delicious. Thank you."

She kissed my cheek. "Your welcome, dear, now eat up."

"Where is everyone?"

"Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper went out hunting and took Edward with them, Alice went out to town and should be back in awhile and Carlisle is at the hospital."

"He already is working? That was fast."

"He called them from New York and told them we were returning. They were thrilled to have him back."

The back door opened and Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward came in. In an instant, Edward was at my side, he looked down at me and smiled. "Good morning, Bella."

I smiled back at him. "Hello."

"Did you sleep well?" he asked sitting down on the bed beside her.

"umm…I slept okay, I didn't have the best of dreams."

"What are your plans for today, Bella?" Esme asked.

"I'm going look around town, see if I can find an apartment."

She dropped the pan she had in her hand and looked at me in shock. "Your looking for an apartment?"

"Bella, why are you looking for an apartment?" Edward whispered softly.

I was completely confused by the way they were acting. "Um…because I need a place to live."

Esme walked over to me. "Bella, dear, I guess maybe we didn't make this clear. Last night when Alice said you were staying here, she meant permanently. We want you to stay here and live with us. We've already discussed it with Charlie and he is fine with it."

"You want me to live here?"

Everyone shook there heads.

"I…um…okay, I'll stay."

Esme pulled me in a tight hug. "Oh good."

"Esme…can't…breath!" She quickly release me and smiled sheepishly.

I burst into laughter and everyone looked at me funny. "I usually say that to Emmett, I didn't ever think I'd say those words to you Esme."

Everyone looked at Emmett and laughed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"BELLA!!!!!" Jacob came bounding down the front steps of the porch and pulled me into a tight hug.

He was hugging me so tight that my nose was squashed into his chest. "Hello to you to, Jacob!" I muttered laughing. He put me back down and release me.

"God, you're a giant!" I said. "Are you ever going to stop growing?"

We both laughed, "I don't know. I'm sure dad would like it if I did, he won't have to buy me clothes every other day."

We walked into his house and sat on his couch. "I'm glad your back Bells. I hate your back under these circumstances though."

"Yeah, me too." I scooted myself off the couch and onto the floor.

"How are you holding up?"

"I'm fine." I replied tracing the pattern on the carpet. I don't have to think before answering anymore. I've been asked that question so many times, it just comes out by itself.

"Bells" He sat on the floor next to me. "I'm sorry, I know you must be tired of that question, I won't ask again. I do want you to know I'll be here if you need anything. I'm here for you whenever and for whatever."

"Thanks Jake" I said, smiling at him.

"Anything for you Bells." He said putting his arm around me. I laid my head on his chest, as he rested his head on the top of mine. Jacob was a great friend and always made me feel better.

I stayed with Jake all evening, he made me laugh with stories about Sam, Quil, and the rest of the group.
