Chapter 40 (OMG 40!) – Please Remember – Part 1

Bella's POV:

This was God's gift, he was helping me by letting me bump into Laura, at first I was wary but that soon disappeared. I didn't know what it was it felt like she was almost a sister to me,(AN ahahaha See what I did there ;) lol ) it was all so weird, I only knew for a matter of moments and I already feel connected to her.

She had very dark chocolate brown hair; it flowed just down to her shoulders, her pale features fitted perfectly, and her golden eyes just tied all her looks in together, then it hit me. Golden eyes, just like his.

A small sob escaped my lips, I couldn't control it, and memories started flowing back. I was being rude to Laura, she was speaking to me and I was so caught up in my own thoughts.

I rejoined the conversation.

"It's Okay my family will help you"

She grabbed my hand trying to pull me towards wherever, but I didn't move an inch, I just shook her head.

"No, I will only cause them trouble; I manage to kill people who I get close to"

"Fine; no family involved but I'm going to help you, there's this house where the old chief of police used to live, no one bothers going there anymore; I can re model it for you at least give you a roof over your head"

I shook her head forcefully, she was so selfless, she didn't even know me yet she was putting me first.

"Oh no that would be too much trouble for you!"

She laughed and started dragging me in the direction of I guess my new home for now.

"May I ask WHAT you are?"

I looked at Laura for a brief moment ten a small smile spread across my lips, she didn't know?

"I'm a hybrid as you call it, half vampire half human"

She looked at me astonished; once again the small smile appeared on my lips.

"Is that even possible?"

I just shrugged and we continued walking at human pace, I talked about a few things and she did the same. I found out that Laura played the drums and was totally in love with her soul mate Alec.

"I never got your name"

I looked down to her hands, and then sighed lightly.

"Isabella Mason how do you do...?"

"Laura. Laura Cullen, nice to meet you Isabella"

I smiled slightly, there was an awkward silence ringing in the air, but before we knew it we reached the old chief's house, it was a little run down nothing a quick makeover couldn't fix, yet it was perfect.

"Stay here for tonight, I shall be back within a few hours with a bed for you, then tomorrow we start to fix this problem okay?"

"Thank you Laura"

Laura smiled, I hugged her lightly then dashed off inside, as soon as I went straight inside guess that she went home. I took more of a look inside, the door didn't fall off which was a start, as I walked in to my left was what looked like a kitchen, it actually wasn't that bad. Down a little more and on my right was a living room, there were settees still, a little dusty but alright. I walked up the stairs slowly they creaked a little nothing like a horror movie. Right in front of me was a small bathroom, to the right a bedroom, to the left was another I slowly walked taking everything in, with a little TLC this would be the perfect home.

Laura's POV:

As I was running, my thoughts took over me, hmmm... Isabella? Isabella? Isabella? So familiar, I reached the house within seconds, Alec came straight over to me, and he looked so worried.

"Omg, Laura you're safe!"

I noticed that my family started crowding round me, all of the exception of Edward of course.

"Why wouldn't I be? I only went hunting"

Thankfully my lying skills were good enough.

"I couldn't see you, like you just disappeared, the whole of your future disappeared"

I looked at Alice shocked that has never happened.

"Alice honey, are you sure it's not you?"

Jazz comforted Alice with a hug.

"No, the only time it's happened is when I was looking for... Bella"

"Isabella, Alice?"

I looked between Alice and Jazz completely shocked. No. Not Isabella. I mean the Isabella that was running? OH MY FREAKING ALEC CULLEN! No. No. No. No.

Alec, kissed me with a whole lot of passion, how the hell was I going to get away to help her now? A few hours passed and I became more worried. Mom! Yes Mom. She would help me, I was sure of it!

"Mom, Can I speak to you?"

She appeared suddenly looking worried at me.

"I'm fine mom; can I just speak to you privately please?"

She nodded and grabbed my hand and we started running slightly towards where the river started out of hearing range.

"What's wrong honey?"

How could I put this into words?

'Hey mom, you know that dead girl right? Yeah the one Edward has been moping over for almost a century? Yeah well I think she's alive, I took her to the old Chief's house.'

"Mom, can you help me with a project?"

I chickened out; I couldn't be sure... yet. She sat at the river's edge, I shortly joined her, she looked at me with a smile on her face.

"Of course honey, what is it?"

"Well while I was hunting, I ran into someone"

Her face was now filled with worry, she grabbed my hand.

"Oh mom, don't worry. Yes it was a Normand but please I beg of you do not tell anyone, she needs help mom and a place to stay"

"Oh honey, I promise I won't but why can't you bring her to the house? We'd all be able to help her with whatever problems she has."

I sighed and looked in the direction of the house.

"I've tried, but she won't so I took her to the old Chief's house. Oh no I must take her some blankets at least otherwise she'll have to sleep with nothing."

I got up, she looked at me confused of course she would, yet she nodded and let me go.

Then I stopped and raced back.

"Can you tell me about Bella/ Isabella please?"

Esme looked down at the water.

"Such a beautiful girl, caring and loving, she covered for Alice to let her see Jasper, she put people before herself you see, she had wavy long chocolate brown hair, with brown eyes to match, so beautiful but yet she never saw herself clearly, much like you to be honest"

She let out a small giggle as I rolled my eyes. I thanked her quickly and ran, just ran.

Bella's POV:

It has been a few hours; since Laura had disappeared I started worrying was she going to return? Of course she would right? I was pacing, maybe I could actually have a life now? Not my mother's not my father's and certainly not Jacob's but my own.

Maybe I could even go to high school? I never got to actually go to school it would be a great experience. My thoughts dragged on and on, I didn't hear Laura enter, she had this huge plastered smile on her face.

"Isabella, Will you please just meet my family, just once?"

I shook my head, no I couldn't.

"Please Isabella?"

She gave me a puppy dog look, I groaned, she just looked even sadder.

"Fine, once and only once!"

She started clapping and jumping, oh how that reminded me of Alice, she grabbed my hand and we were off running, Urgh how the familiar scene played through my mind, me and Edward running for our lives trying anything to get away from James, and how he touched me. The words rang throughout my head:

'Where to miss?'

'The stars'

Hw we could of reached for them in a heartbeat, I wish I could just go back and tell him how much I had fell for him, how much I was truly in love with him, how I wanted to Mrs Edward Cullen.

My mind froze, Laura Cullen. Edward Cullen could she? No. He was dead, he was up in heaven, my angel, and how I wanted him by my side.

"We're here; wait outside for a brief moment please?"

I just nodded as I looked up I noticed the house was beyond massive. I slowly walked over to the grass; I could see a river that flowed probably for miles on end. It was quiet, it was nice and peaceful here.

*SMASH*

My head snapped up, without thinking I raced towards the door, I grabbed the door flinging it open, bursting through. I stopped dead frozen at the scene before me.

"Edward?"
