Chapter 9

Broken promises

BPOV

Walking hand in hand with Alice toward the Cullen's house, which appeared to have all of the Cullen's in it beside Alice and Edward. Edward and Jacob were still arguing but I was relieved that most of the pack was letting them go at by their selves. Sam called a farewell along with Seth at Alice's and mine retreating backs. I waved in response till a light brown wolf that stood as tall as a horse came bounding to my side and bumped his head against me about knocking me over again. I knew which wolf he was even with out his thoughts to tell me.

"Seth knock it off before you make me trip and I haven't done that in years"! Bella exclaimed laughing. Seth only replied with his Wolfie grin at me before responding with a short playful yip.

I giggled at him wondering why all the wolves couldn't be this nice.

"Sorry Bells I missed ya." Seth whined

"Hey idiot get away from the bloodsucker." Leah complained with a growl.

"Don't talk to Bella that way" Edward growled at her even I knew that it would be no good Leah had always hated me even before I was a vampire.

"Don't call her that Leah or I'll rip your head off" Jacob snarled.

"Sorry to bust your bubble Jake but that's what she is!" Leahgot the last remark in before dashing in to the brush and vanishing from view. Jacob, Seth, and Edward growled at her as she left the hostile territory.

By this time Alice and I had just made to the porch and as soon as I got to the top step I was grabbed again for the second time tonight and slammed into a muscled chest only this time not as gently. "Well there she is!" Emmett exclaimed while trying to weld me to his chest with his sheer strength. I would have told him that I missed him but what was the point in trying when I didn't have the air I needed to do more the make a slight gasp sound as all the air was squeezed out of my lungs. Emmett just continued to smile his goofy grin. As he set me down he tucked me under his massive arm to keep my pinned to his side. "Lookie here Esme, Carlisle after 30 years my little sister finally couldn't stand to be away from her beloved caring handsome older brother any more!" Emmett crowed to the loving yet amused faces I had longed to see for so long. If I could have blushed I would have been red from my hair down to my toes. Jasper chuckled to himself as he came forward With a quick pat to my head jasper went to Alice grabbed her and held her tenderly in his arms before passionately kissing her for a brief moment.

Finally Esme couldn't take Emmett monopolizing me any longer, came and snatched me easily away from Emmett. Esme pulled me into a large hug that I really didn't want to stop. I practically fell apart right then and there in her embrace. I clung to Esme as I dry sobbed. She had been the one person I had wanted to see the most even more than Edward after my mother Renee's death. Esme rubbed my back to calm me as I felt another person deepen the hug around us both opening my eyes I saw Carlisle holding us both wrapping his arms around to comfort me and still be able to hold Esme. In that moment I knew if this had been a fantasy I never would want it to end but they were truly here I knew that now there was no way to deny it any more. "I missed you so much please don't leave me again I promise I wont be any trouble". I was practically humming the words were tumbling out of my mouth so fast. If any human had heard me they would have thought that a bee was buzzing nearby.

"Yeah right you think we could let a young girl as pretty as you alone now that we found you again? Beside even if Edward doesn't think he is man enough to have you I am sure I can find the spare time to entertain you." Emmett grinned at me and at the horror that was etched on to Edward's features. Edward must have seen a thought in Emmett's head that he didn't like because he sat there and growled deep in his chest, which only made Emmett smile wider. Me on the other hand I was sure even as a vampire Japer wasn't the only one realizing how embarrassing Emmett's comment had made me. Rosalie hit Emmett in the head at the comment if I hadn't known that Rosalie had been doing that because of Emmett's comment for her I would have thanked her. "Well it's the truth look at her Bella you are absolutel-" Wack! Rosalie didn't bother to hold back any this time she hit Emmett full force with all her strength. But Edward finished the comment that Emmett had started. "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful" Edward breathed. His eyes seemed to be fixed on me and nowhere else.

I looked away first though I knew that two sides of my self were warring within me. A part of me delighted at the comment having won Edward's attention and affections back. Yet there was still the voice that nagged at me but what about his broken promises. Edward had promised me that he loved me and would never hurt me. But he was the one that turned away from me and left me all alone. He was the one that had hurt me the most. I wasn't sure if I could take being hurt the same way again. Could I trust him enough to believe what he was saying? I wanted to believe him I wanted more than anything to be held by him and to hear his sweet voice tell me he loved me. I sighed I must be turning into a mastics.

I had just entered the house after a good argument with that damn pup Jacob Black. When I caught the tail end on Emmett's comment. He was looking at Bella who was being held protectively by Esme and Carlisle.

"Oh Emmett shut up I don't want to lose my little girl again I will not her go so easily ever again." Esme was thinking such a motherly thought about Bella, my Bella that I realized what I must have put Esme thru making her leave Bella behind when we left. I would have to find some way to make up for my past action to Esme some how I knew she would never hold a grudge against any of her children but I also knew that I had hurt her terrible. Carlisle's thought were beside themselves in how happy he was that Bella was making Esme so happy and that he too had gotten a missing daughter back after so long a wait. I sighed when I heard Emmett's next comment in his head as he was saying it. "Yeah right you think we could let a young girl as pretty as you alone now that we found you again? Beside even if Edward doesn't think he is man enough to have you I am sure I can find the spare time to entertain you." Emmett looked at me for a split second thinking of all the things he could teach Bella behind closed doors. I growled deep in my chest, which only made Emmett smile wider. I must have had a look of horror on my face because Bella looked like she was unsure of what to do next, thankfully Rose didn't have such a complicated time figuring out what to do. Rosalie hit Emmett in the head at the comment. Unfortunately that didn't make him stop the moron. "Well it's the truth look at her Bella you are absolutel-" Wack! Rosalie didn't bother to hold back any this time she hit Emmett full force with all her strength. I couldn't help it the image in Emmett's mind spoke volumes. So I finished it for him looking as deeply into Bella's eyes lost in their richness and depths. "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful" I sighed. Bella looked at me and not for the last I wished I knew what she was thinking. All the emotions that were displayed across her face would vanish to quickly for me to interoperate. I would have to get her back no matter how long she made me wait. It was only fair and she had no reason to give me what I wanted after all I had kept her waiting for me for 30 years.

"What have you been doing this whole time, and how come you are a vampire?" Carlisle asked. Bella pulled her eyes away from mine at the sound of Carlisle voice releasing me from their hold. I wanted to curse Carlisle for that but I also what some questions answered so I figured I would wait till later to find out. Bella fidgeted for a moment before taking a breath to begin. "Well it's a long story but if you want to hear I can start from the beginning." She said.
