I feel so bad that I haven't updated in over a week! I have been so busy with school. We just got done and this last week was intense. I hop eyou aren't too mad at me. After Tuesday I will be on break so I will have more time to write.
It is just a filler in a way. It is the history of Edward and I hope it is okay for you. I posted the outfits on my profile so check them out. I personally love them!
I love reviews and they help me get chapters out sooner. Please leave a review!

Carlisle agreed to take me to visit my long deceased father's grave. We settled for next Wednesday. He said that was the day before Esme's next wedding so she would be busy. In all likelihood all of the females in the family would be busy. They all loved the new business. I seriously think I missed out of that gene. I can't stand the sight of lace or frills much to Alice's discontent. It always makes the guys laugh. Jasper always has to feel her upset, sometimes angry, and doesn't like it all that much. Emmett always has fun with that. Last time he jumped on his back and tackled him in the living room. They had to buy a new couch and coffee table. Esme was furious!
Today I was forced to stay at home bored out of my superhuman vampire mind. Ugh! It can be so frustrating to be a vampire with such a big brain capacity! UGH! I had my second copy of Wuthering Heights open and was rereading it for the three hundred and fifty-seventh time. I still love it. Edward was never able to comprehend why. I guess it was because he could never truly see how much I loved it.
The TV was on to the Fox News channel, background noise. They were reporting on some string of murders in Virginia. Nothing we could do about it. Definitely not a vampire. Most of them were occurring during the day. God, I am so bored!
My mind drifted back to the last conversation I had with Edward. If I could cry in this body I would. I hate remembering it. Damn vampire memory!

We were sitting on his bed up on the third floor room which was now mine. He was leaning with his back against the headboard and me curled up on his lap. His shirt was thrown on the floor but, he insisted on wrapping me in a blanket. It defeated the purpose. I wanted to feel him on me without a layer between our two different textures. He was so stubborn. He planted a soft kiss of my forehead and then started to talk.
"I have some business to attend to in Italy, my love." I looked up to him with nervous eyes. There is only thing that would hold his interest in Italy and it wasn't the Pantheon or the Coliseum. It was Volterra; more specifically the Volturi.
He told me he had to leave the next day on a flight out of Sea-Tac. That night we spent laying together in his bed. He had tried to hum me to sleep a couple times but it wasn't helping. I was too anxious. We lay together through the later hours of the night. He was lying on his back with his head rested in a pillow. He had tried to convince me join him with my head on the pillow but, I wouldn't budge. I kept my head on his chest. I wanted to be as close to him as possible. He had his arms wrapped around me and one of my legs was thrown across his legs. He didn't protest, not tonight.
At around two in the morning I had dosed off slightly when he gently woke me. He told me he had to leave for the airport soon. My eyes instantly welled over with tears that I thought I had finished crying a couple hours ago. He got off of the bed and went over to his closet to change.
When he was done he returned to my side. I was still sitting on the edge of the bed. He hugged me close to him and kissed the top of my head. I wrapped my arms around his neck and continued to cry. He soothed me the best he could. I could tell that seeing me like this was hurting him too. To this day I still don't know the exact reason he had to leave. I suspect Alice will never tell me.
He pulled away too soon and grabbed my hand in his. He led me out of his room to a waiting Alice.
"Barbie doll time?" I groaned. He nodded her head quickly and dragged me to her room.
With the door securely closed behind us she hauled me to her closet. There was a white knee length dress with a black patent belt hanging up across the room. I quickly realized it was mine. I groaned silently but, Alice still heard me. She insisted the Dolce and Gabbana dress would be perfect on me.
"You are wearing it even if it kills you," she giggled and danced over to the dress.
"Is that an option? I'll take it if at all possible," I pleaded with her. I lost the battle within seconds. She proceeded to dress me and do my hair and makeup even with the early hour. She had said that Edward would want to remember me for his trip like this. UGH!!!
She finished the outfit with a pair of black Coach ballet flats. They had a crinkle appearance and a small bow on them. My hair was in my natural waves and my makeup looked nonexistent. She was a miracle worker.
She was wearing nude colored ruffle blouse that had a black sash around the waist. It had a v-neck and looked perfect on her as usual. She paired it with a pair of dark skinny jeans and a pair of black peep toe shoes. She had told me that they were Christian Louboutin's. I guess you could tell because the soles of the shoe were bright red.
I had to thank her next because, she allowed me to have a minute with Edward. He walked me to the living room and we both took a seat on the couch. He cupped my face in his hands and leaned in to kiss me gently. I could feel the love in it and returned in eagerly. We continued for an amount of time that I couldn't measure. It could have been minutes or hours. My whole world stopped when we were together.
Alice eventually entered the room. I don't know how long she was there. From the way Edward looked at her it must have been longer than a couple seconds. Edward was first to speak.
"Time to go Alice?" he asked still marginally annoyed. To answer his question she dragged us out of the house and towards Edward's Volvo. She was driving because she had seen that I wouldn't be able to hold it together enough to get myself back to Forks. I was thankful for her visions today.
We completed the four hour drive in about two. She drove just as wild as Edward.
Edward and I climbed out of the backseat we had shared and embraced. He wrapped his arms around me completely as did I to him. I sobbed into his shirt for the second time. He pulled me away from him a little and kissed me fully on the lips. I kissed him back and once again we got carried away. We were together like that for over three minutes. The only time we broke was for air.
Alice eventually stopped us and told us that Edward was going to miss his flight if he didn't leave soon.
He listened and grabbed his single bag out of the trunk. It was just a black L.L Bean back pack. Alice grumbled when he didn't take complete outfits but, he won. I think there might have been another car involved in the agreement. She had her eye on the new 2010 Corvette; in yellow of course.
The two of us girls said our goodbyes and he walked into the terminal leading him to his death. Alice didn't even know that yet.
As predicted I broke down the second I couldn't see him. Alice had to carry me back to the front seat of the car.
Two days later I was starting to get worried. Edward hadn't called and he was changing his mind all the time. Alice couldn't get a good view. She tried to call him a couple times with no avail.
I was spending a lot of time at the Cullen's and Charlie thought I was hanging out with Alice. That was partially correct. Jasper was around a lot and not just because Alice was his wife. He was attempting to calm me down. Nothing worked though. He eventually gave up and just settled to hanging around with his soul mate.
At around eleven thirty in the morning the next day Alice screamed in anguish. Jasper's knees buckled beneath him as if he was carrying a heavy load. They both started to cry tearlessly. I knew something was wrong. I walked over to my future sister and urged her to tell me what she saw. All she said was, "Edward, Edward, no… no no no!!!"
Hearing her say this I collapsed in tears. The whole family soon joined us and struggled to calm the pixie down.
Carlisle had arrived home at about the same time we had gotten Alice and consequently Jasper relaxed enough to tell us what happened. She pulled Carlisle aside to tell him first. Edward was his first son.
When they returned to the group, Carlisle was in pain. It almost appeared to be physical pain. He sat next to me on the loveseat and put an arm around my shoulders. I turned to look at him and his eyes were the saddest I had ever seen. He began to speak. I only vaguely remember what he said.
"Bella, I can't begin to tell you how much it pains the whole family to have to go through this but, you need to know something. Alice had a vision, which I am sure you are aware of. What you don't know is that this family has been reduced in numbers now," he paused to analyze my face," He perished approximately an hour ago in Italy. We are clueless as to what led to his death. Bella we are here for you," he finished. I broke down in tears and screamed out in pain. It felt as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest. Carlisle, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Esme, and even Rosalie all crowded around me to hug me. I was reduced to a mumbling mess of tears and Carlisle was the first one to have his arms wrapped around me. The rest of the family followed suit.

I was torn out of my trance by Alice plopping down on the couch. She must have just arrived home after a quick hunt. I saw my other two female family members standing off to the side of the room. They were letting Alice take the lead. Great!
"What Alice?" I asked annoyed. She frowned at my tone and pulled my off of the couch with her.
"We are going out tonight," she sang dragging me up the stairs to her room. She pulled me into the closet with Rosalie and Esme on our heels.
We all dressed in beautiful dresses she had picked out. They were all perfect for any event Alice could have thought up. The outfits gave me no clue.
Rosalie had on a dress the fell to about mid thigh. It was red and had black straps and a red sash under half of the bust line. It was cinched under the sash so it fell off to the sides in layers. It looked beautiful on Rose.
She had on a pair of strappy black heels. They laced up her calf and tied in the back. They were a perfect match as always.
Esme had on a black dress that appeared to be made out of lace. It was very intricately made. It had sleeves that complemented the shape of the dress wonderfully. It was knee length and perfect for Esme; once again. She paired it with black Jimmy Choo peep toes. The heel was a height I was afraid of still after all these years.
Alice had on a yellow dress that fell to mid thigh. It had beads in browns and golds to accent. It had two pockets for detail in the front. It was a classic Alice dress. Only she could pull it off. She had on a pair of gold heels that had straps made out of a pattern that I couldn't identify and a small medallion to add detail.
I had on a deep blue dress that had gold foil detail on the skirt of it. It had a neck line that was a plunging V. The shoes Alice forced me into were a pair of black Dior pumps.
We were all dressed but, one thing remained. Where were we going?
Was it any good? I hop eit was enough. i am going to work on the next chapter tomorrow and hopefull post on Monday but, that might not get done. I am going to go get a mani/pedi that day so if i don't post i'm sorry.
