"Well, seen as you don't have anyone, me and Esme have decided that we will take you in until you are old enough to live on your own," Carlisle told me. I couldn't help smiling. Finally, I was getting a proper home again.

Bella POV

It had been about 2 days since I woke up. Emily had come to the hospital. She had been asking where I was. Her friends mother had found out I was in the hospital and offered to look after her. The only problem was that now Jake was gone, it would be Leah looking after her, meaning I would never get to see her again.

"Right Bella, I think we are all done," Carlisle said. I hadn't realised he had been checking me over. I was too busy thinking about Emily and what was going to happen. She couldn't live with Leah, who wouldn't look after her.

"Does this mean I can go now?" I asked eager to get out of the hospital. He laughed.

"Calm down Bella, you are free to go," I sighed in relief. This place made me feel like I was trapped. I slowly got off the bed in case I got dizzy by getting up to quickly. Carlisle held onto my elbow to keep me steady until I reached the door. I looked over to see Edward leaning on the door frame with a huge grin.

"What are you grinning at?" I stuck up my eyebrow while trying to limp towards him. He held out a hand and I gladly held onto it. "Nothing…" he said. I just ignored him. "Right Edward,"

We started walking over to Alice and Emily. "Mummy!" she shouted. I leaned down and hugged her. "How's Emily?"

"I'm fine," I couldn't help feeling a little guilty. She didn't know what was happening, how I would probably never see her again.

"So, shall we go and see our new house?" she nodded and started smiling. I looked up at Edward and he nodded to me. Alice and Edward started walking towards the door and I help Emily's hand, leading her out. Edwards silver Volvo was parked outside and I couldn't help feeling a little jealous. I wish I had a car like that.

I still couldn't get over their house. It was so nice and…big. "Come on Bella, I have to show you your room!" Alice shouted. I brought Emily with me as we started up the stairs. I made sure I was watching where I was going so I didn't embarrass myself as well as probably hurting everyone around me.

I remembered Alice's room. It was all pink and girly. I wonder if my room would be like that. It better not be. But with Alice decorating it, who knew? We carried on down the corridor passing Alice's room until we reached the last door. I took a deep breath before walking into the room. Wow. The colour scheme was brown and cream. The bed sheets were a brown and it had a cream carpet. There were brown lamp shades and brown mirrors. Everything went together and looked great.

"Alice! Thank you so much this looks great!" I screamed while giving her a hug.

"My pleasure Bella. Although it wasn't just me. Esme helped designing it. I just found the furniture," she laughed. I didn't think Esme could do this. I mean she was a good designer but still…

I walked into the room and collapsed on the bed. It was so comfy I didn't want to get off it. "Come on Bella I have a whole wardrobe for you," I groaned. The last thing I wanted was a load of clothes to deal with. Alice ignored me and walked over to another door. She grinned and opened it. I followed her inside to be surrounded with all sorts of clothes and shoes.

"Seriously Alice, I really don't want all this," I really hated getting all this for free. I didn't earn any of it.

"Bella, you have it anyway so stop whining," I sighed.

"So, what are we doing now?" I asked her.

"Well… there is something that we need to talk about with you," Alice suddenly turned awkward. She wouldn't look at me and stared at the floor.

"What is it Alice?" I asked her.

"Erm, come on Bella lets go and find everyone else," she grabbed my hand and we walked downstairs. I sat in the front room while Alice ran off into the kitchen. I saw her whispering to her family and then look at me. They nodded to each other and walked over to me. Great. Something's happening, and it was probably bad.

"Bella, there is something we need to discuss," Carlisle started. "You see, we aren't normal like you," What like they are zombies or something? I looked at them confused. They all had worried or upset faces.

"So…?" I motioned for them to carry on. Carlisle took a deep sigh. "Bella, we are…vampires,"

"What?" I jumped up. What are they talking about? Like the vampires in books?

"Bella calm down, I know you probably don't understand very much but we can explain,"

"No, I don't want you to explain," who the hell are these people? Why would someone just say they are mythical creatures? "I'm out of here," I said before running out of the door. I could hear them shouting behind me but I ignored them. I couldn't stay in that house any longer. I carried on running down the drive, tripping up over my feet. I managed to get down the street before realising I wasn't going to get anywhere. Urgh what can I do? I searched my pocket and found a bus pass. Wow. That is great, well done Bella. I started walking down the street to find the bus stop.

It took me about 5 minutes before I reached the bus stop. I sat down on the bench and waited till the bus turned up. The bus turned the corner and I quickly jumped on. I showed the bus pass and went to get a seat. A group of young teens-no. An old man-no. Noisy children-no. I guess the seat next to the old lady would have to do. I went and sat next to her, while she was giving me dirty looks. What is it with people around here? It's not as if I have something on my face. I just ignored her until I wondered where this bus was actually going to. Great. Now I would need to ask the lady.

"Erm, excuse me but where is this bus going to?"

"The mall," she answered bluntly. What kind of person gets on a bus when they don't even know where it is going? I thought I heard her say. Urgh this is just awful.

When the bus finally got to the mall, I jumped off eager to get away. I wasn't really planning on shopping so I decided to sit on a bench. I waited for a long time, watching all the families walking past. Why couldn't I have that? All the happiness and love. The only time I had that was when my parents were still alive. But that was a long time ago. I didn't realise but there were tears forming in my eyes.

"Bella?" I heard some one say behind me. I turned around to find the one person I hated.

"What the hell are you doing near me?" I screamed.

"Bella, listen I need to speak to you,"

"Don't you even dare," I said my voice quivering.

"Listen Bella, I didn't mean it, it was a mistake and I shouldn't have done it. Please forgive me," I wanted to believe him. It would make things so much easier. But how could I? After all the things he put me through and now he wanted to be forgiven?

"How can you say that?" My voice was becoming unsteady.

"I'm sorry. All you have to do is forgive me and then we can go to the police together and tell them it was all a misunderstanding. Maybe that it was someone else, an-and I was away at the time,"

"Don't you dare say that! How do you think that I would possibly be able to forgive you after you nearly killed me?"

"Bella, just god damn forgive me!" he shouted. I was scared. But I didn't want to show him. He grabbed hold of my arms and pinned me against a wall. Even if he was going to kill me now, there was no way I would forgive him.

"I don't care what happens now. Even if you kill me, I will never give you the satisfaction of thinking you got away with it. If there is one thing I will do now, is make sure you get what you deserve. Filthy scum," I spat at him.

"Bella, last time I got so close to getting rid of you, but this time I will make sure you are gone before leaving, and no one is here to save you, I will make sure of it," he said before pulling out a knife.
