Why is my head hurting. Dam it, it feels like it's going to fall off…Oh! Well I guess I learned why you shouldn't drink. Ugh, now how do you get rid of this hang over…Believe it or not, but this is my first hangover, and yesterday was the first time I ever drank. When you're a princess, your always being watched, every minute of your life, besides when your sleeping. I never had an actual drink before. Until yesterday. Emmett would always try to get me to go to party's with him, but my excuse was always, I have duties.
"Bella, breakfast." I heard Leah knock on my door. My hands responded by grabbing my head like I was afraid it would fall off. I sighed and decided to get up. I looked down and saw I was in my pj's…how did I get into my shorts? Whatever. When I walked to the dinning room I saw everyone except dad and Sue.
"Morning." I said taking a seat next to Jake. He smiled at me and took my hand under the table, but instead he passed something to my hand. I looked down casually and found a piece of paper. Morning babe, hope the hangover isn't killing you. How sweet.
"So Bella how's your head?" Rose asked laughing, I looked at Jake.
"Fine." In a way I was answering Rose, but I was mostly answering Jake.
"So no hangover?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah I have one, but I won't die." Emmett laughed. Now that I though of it, it wasn't that bad.
"Here drink this, and don't ask what it is, it'll take your hang over." Jake said handing me a cup of something pink. It looked kind of nasty but I trusted him. After chugging the whole thing -with out throwing up too- I finished eating and got a call.
"Excuse me." I said to everyone and left the room.
"Hey Aro, what's up.""We have a problem.""What is it?" I began to feel a bit nerves.
"Edward sort of agreed on signing the papers." his voice wasn't very assuring.
"What's the catch?""His right in front of my face, and he wants a chance to talk to you. He said after he has a word with you then he'll decided. It's a long shot Bella, but I think you should take it."
"I don't know. I'll call you in 2 minutes." I barley manage to say before I hung up. I saw Jake behind me when I tried to go to my room."Bella, what's wrong. You look to pale.""I need Emmett." was all I said before he left to get him. I felt myself on the floor, sitting, I just can't remember how I got to sit on the floor.
"Bella, what's wrong?" Emmett asked kneeling down in front of me.
"His here Emmett, he wants to talk to me. He said he'll decide after he talks to me. What do I do?" I asked him. I could feel myself coming back from my shock, but I was know getting mad.
"His here, like right now I New York."
"Yeah his with Aro."
"Just wait until I get my hands on his neck." Emmett said heading for the door.
"EMMETT." I yelled making him stop.
"Stop it. Look, I'm just going to head over there. Please stay calm."
"No, your not going with out me.""Emmett, all your going to do is cuss at him and hurt him.""Your not going alone." He said. I knew that was his final answer.
"I'll go with her." Just when I was about to call Aro, Jake volunteered. I saw Emmett thinking about it for a while.
"Alright. You are to stay with her at all times. Do not leave her alone." Jake nodded.
"Go get dressed." Jake said. I looked over at Leah and Rose and they both dragged me up my room."You guys pick my clothes while I call Aro back." they nodded and left to my closet. I dialed back Aro and waited for his phone to ring.
"The Vulturi brothers office, this is Sarah speaking. How can I help you.""Hi my name is Isabella Swan, Aro's waiting for my call. Can you transfer me in.""Of course Ms. Swan. One moment please." believe it or not but they had that waiting music on. I wanted to laugh but this isn't really a fun occasion.
"Bella?" I heard Aro.
"Hey, look I'll be there in like 20 minutes. I just need to get ready.""Okay, just go up to Sarah and she'll show you to my office.""Aro, is he alone?""Yes.""Thanks. I'll see you soon." I saw Leah and Rose in front of me holding my clothes when I hung up.
They didn't spend much time with me, they quickly finished and let me go with Jake. The drive there was quite, no one said anything, but I did grab on to his hand. I was scared of letting go, afraid I'd fall apart. Sarah showed us the way and left before we went in.
"Jake, promise you'll be there if I fall apart.""Bella you won't. You're a strong girl, and I won't let anything happen to you." He kissed my cheek and opened the doors to the office. Right in front of me was Edward sitting on the chair in front of Aro. Aro walked over to me and kissed my cheek. He asked Jake and I to take a seat, Jake sitting between me and Edward, but never letting go of my hand.
"Hello Bella." Edward said. I didn't know what exactly to say. What do you say to your husband, after he cheats on you and won't give you your divorce.
"Hi Edward." was all I could say. "So talk" okay, I said that too."I was hoping we could talk in private." He said looking at Jake and Aro.
"Nope sorry, no can do. Her brother gave me strict rules." Jake said giving Edward a dirty look.
"Was I asking you." Edward said.
"Edward, look. Emmett was going to come today, the only way that you would come out alive out of this is if Jake came. His not leaving my side, because Emmett said so, and because I need him. So if your going to talk just talk now or I'm leaving and I'm going to wait 6 months." I gave Edward a look that said I was serious.
"Bella please. Look just give me 5 minutes, that's all I need."….I looked at Jake, I could see he was against this. I looked at Edward, and he seemed to be hoping.
"Jake 5 minutes." I said to him.
"NO." he said.
"Please Jake. Just 5 minutes tops. That's all. If you hear something wrong, you can just bust in and save me again." I smirked. I remember yesterday.
"Bella his not a James, I know he won't harm you physically but he'll break you again. Your just starting to heal, please think about this." He had a very good point. But I needed closer, and I just figured that out.
"Jake. Please." I saw him struggling to say no, but he finally sighed in defeat. He turned to look at Edward.
"Look here Eddie, Emmett might have hurt you but I'll kill you if you hurt Bella again." he left the room mad, but he left. Aro followed after and closed the doors behind him. I stood up and walked over to the window, I could see the paparazzi outside already. I'm sure it would be hard to get out.
"What do you want Edward, just say what you want to say and just set me free again." I hadn't noticed any movements, but he was standing right behind me, his arms wrapped around me. I couldn't move, I just wanted to stay there forever.
"Bella please. Just give me another change, I can make it up to you."
"No Edward you can't. You hurt me, and the worst way."
"Bella, I love you and I can't live with out you.""your going to have to.""Tell me you don't love me anymore Bella. Tell me and I won't ever see you again." I opened my mouth. I swear I had the full intention to tell him I didn't love him, but the words just wouldn't come out. I tried so many times to say them, but they didn't come out.
"See love, you feel the same way. Don't through this away for one mistake I made and a betray Rene made."
"I can't. Edward, what about next time. What happens after, when you 'accidentally kiss' someone else. What happens when your swarmed by girls, all of them throwing themselves at you." I moved from his arms.
"I like Jake Edward, I honestly do. I know I can be happy with him, I know he can make me forget. Please Edward, all I'm asking is for you to give me that chance. Let me be happy with him." I finally let the tears slip. I saw Edward look pained, I saw him hurt, but nothing was compared to how much pain I was in. He slowly moved towards the desk and picked up the pen. The signed the papers, and looked at me.
"Thank you." was all I could say. He kissed me. It was like the first and last kiss we've had. Magical, full of life, passion, and love. I wanted and needed more, but he pulled away.
"I love you Bella. Never forget that." and he left. I though he would break me not letting go, by bringing back memories that were only a few days ago. But instead he broke me by his last words. They were marked into my heart, something that made me cry for 2 days straight. I love you Bella. Never forget that.

...8 years later…
"We are all gathered here today to pay respects to a special man. He was a son, brother, uncle, best friend, husband, and a father. For tragic events, we lost him because of car accident. We know many of you will dial with this differently, many will be strong, many will break down. But at the end, he would have never wanted to be cried for. Please pay your respects to his wife Isabella Marie Black. [clap]
"Thank you for coming to my husbands funeral. Jacob Black was my best friend, someone who was always there. He helped me through the worst time for my life, he also encouraged me to follow my dreams and go to Julliard. His the reason for my success, and I'm sorry that he had to go. Leaving his 4 year old daughter and I here. But I will always love him. In one way or another, he will be in our hearts. Thank you all." I walked out the stage crying over my best friend. I picked my 4 year old from Rosalie's arms and let her cry on me. I couldn't be here any more, the ceremony would go on for a few more minutes, but I needed to get out.
"Emmett, I'm taking Clair, I'll wait for you guys in the car." I whispered to him and left.
This past 6 years went by quickly. One minute I was married for the first time and the next my second husband dies. Just a week ago everything was fine. Jake would come from work…He and Rose opened up there own garage and become very famous mechanics. This was right after high school. Right when Jake proposed to me, he asked me to marry him, and I agreed. He encouraged me to go to Julliard and my career lunched from there. I went on tours, I had concerts, I was always busy. But after a year of traveling, I quit it and just settled down to finish college and got married. Then right on my first year I got pregnant. I had Claire, and everything was fine. Then a week ago, I waited for Jake to come home from work. I was washing Claire for dinner and he was late…4 hours late…Jake was never late. Right around 2 in the morning, I get a call…from the police station…saying they were sorry that I lost my husband. Jake was coming home from a jewelry store, and he was shot. He died that day, he was buying me something, for our 3 year anniversary…
"Mommy. Why did daddy leave." Clair pulled me out my thoughts. I looked at my daughter, she looked so much like Jake, the only thing that she had mine was her brown chocolate eyes and brown curly hair.
"Because baby, he had to." I didn't know what to tell her. 'Because baby, your dad got shot because he wouldn't give some guy his car and money.' Some how that wouldn't work out.
"Where did daddy go?" she cried.
"To heaven Claire His going to wait for us there. Until its our time to meet him up there.""But I want to go now." She cried more.
"No baby, I'm right here with you. We'll get through this, I promise. But right now, daddy wouldn't be happy if you were sad." she wiped her nose and eyes and gave me a small smile.
"You won't leave me will you mommy?" I pulled my daughter close to my body.
"Of course I won't baby." I kissed her. I saw Emmett coming, holding Rose and carrying Emmett Jr. They got married after me and had there son just a few months ago. I sat Claire on her chair and grabbed her hand, the same way I would grab Jake's, afraid I would fall apart…
"Bella. How do you feel?" Alice asked. Her and Jasper moved to New York a few months after Emmett, Rose, and I did. As far as I know and care, her brother got married again and become king.
"I'm okay Ali. I think I'm going to bed. Come on Claire bear." I picked her up and walked over to my room. I was to scared to sleep by myself again. Jake was the only one who could hold me together, and now Claire was the only one. Honestly, Jake and I both knew I never actually got over Edward. I always loved Jake, that will never change, but Edward was truly the only person I will ever be madly in love with, and I just noticed that…
"Mommy. Wake up." Claire said. I opened my eyes to find my daughter pulling my arm, trying to wake me up.
"Claire, why are you up?" I asked and picked her up, sitting her on my lap.
"Because mommy, uncle Emmy called. He said that he needed to talk to you. His coming now." I sighed and walked over to the living room to wait for Emmett. He better have a good reason to wake me up at 7 on a Sunday.
Claire was watching sponge bob when Emmett came in the door.
"Hey Bells, how are you." he kissed my cheek , and Claire's and sat next to me.
"Tired."
"Oh right. I'm sorry, but I have bad news." I sighed and looked at him.
"Well. Phil called…" he was able to forgive Rene after what she did. It took him a while though, but it was something I wasn't able to do, something I still haven't done.
"And?" I asked.
"Rene is sick. Well not sick in health, but she isn't very happy. She really regrets what happened and wants us to come and visit." this has been going on for 4 years now. Emmett hasn't gone because I was the most important person to him, having me hurt is like having him hurt.
"okay, this isn't new." I told him.
"Well she sort of hit depression. She kind of doesn't eat anymore."
"Oh."
"Bella. I know you can't forgive her, but maybe we can just go see her." I sighed. I needed to forgive her, after all she is my mom.
"Fine Emmett.""Good, because I have the plane tickets ready." I rolled my eyes.
"Okay when are we leaving?""right now."……..
"Emmett, I haven't even packed yet." I yelled at him.
"No but Alice has. Now come on. We'll get something for squirt on the way. Were flying private anyways." of course we would.
"Mommy, where are we going?" Claire asked.
"Just to meet some one Claire. Now come on." I rushed her towards the door. This was going to be a long visit.
