6 months later-
I sighed to myself and looked up at the stars.
It was a beautiful clear night and it made me smile to myself.
Africa was a beautiful but I knew deep down I missed the Cullens.
All of them.
I felt someone sit next to me and turned to see Zafrina.
"All you do is sit here and think." She said, smiling at me as she did so.
I laughed slightly.
"I like it."
"What you thinking about?" She asked.
"The Cullens." I told her truthfully
Zafrina nodded silently.
I had told her everything that had happened and I was grateful that Zafrina hadn't judged me.
"Maybe this all boils down to the fact that one day you will have to make a choice." She said.
I sighed. I hated people reminding me of that fact.
"Well I pick neither of them." I said.
I heard Zafrina laugh.
"We both know that's not true." She smiled.
I couldn't help but smile back.
"Don't you ever think of going back?" She asked me.
"All the time but I don't deserve to go back." I sighed.
"Hermione, it's easy to beat yourself up about things like this but the Cullens clearly loved you and they clearly don't hate you for what happened." She told me.
"Don't you like having me here?" I asked, sensing that this was going somewhere.
Zafrina eyes widened with shock.
"Don't be silly Hermione it's just you were at the Cullens for a very long time and..." She started.
"Plus there is a wedding to plan and Rosalie needs another bridesmaid." The voice sang out.
I recognised it instantly and I couldn't help but jump up from my seat.
"Oh my God, Alice!" I said, running into her open arms.
She hugged me back and I couldn't help but smile at her when I pulled out of the hug.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her.
"Bringing you home. Rosalie and Emmett are getting married and you are invited." She smiled.
"I..." I started.
"Eurgh Hermione at least come just for the wedding we are not asking you to come back forever." She said, but not in a nasty way.
I laughed slightly.
"We are all going." Zafrina said from behind me.
I smiled again at Alice.
"Oh I suppose if there is a wedding." I said.
Alice cheered.
There was a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach as we arrived at the Cullens house.
It hadn't changed at all in the six months since I had been gone.
I walked inside and Esme was the first to greet me.
"Hermione!" She said, hugging me.
I smiled at her.
"I hope this is going to be as big as party as last time. Well we no visit from the Volturi." I smiled.
Esme smiled back at me.
"Of course it is. So glad you could make it." She said.
"Well it's a special occasion." I smiled.
All of a sudden someone grabbed my waist from behind and spun me around.
As they put me down, I turned to see Jasper smiling at me.
"You're home." He said.
"It's a flying visit." I said quickly.
His face dropped but I ignored it as Emmett came bouncing towards me.
"Yeah Hermione made it." He said, pulling me into a massive hug.
If I had been human it would have definitely knocked the breath of me.
I was unsure how to react when Rosalie walked towards me but she pulled me into a little hug.
"You need a bridesmaid's dress fitting." She said.
Alice was sticking pins in the dress here, there and everywhere but I didn't say anything or offer my opinion.
She would never have agreed with it and I pretty much trusted her to make it look beautiful.
"Aren't you nervous?" I asked her.
"About what?" She said, with a pin in her mouth.
"About standing next to the most beautiful vampire in the world! And she will be in a wedding dress." I said.
"She's the bride; she is supposed to look the most gorgeous." Alice said, sticking another random pin in.
"Yeah but we are gonna look like the ugly step sisters next to Rosalie." I said.
Alice stood up with her hands on her hips.
"Are you saying I am ugly, Miss Cullen?" She smiled.
"Miss Granger." I corrected her.
She looked at me confused.
"Don't you consider yourself a Cullen?"
"Not anymore." I said, trying to mess with the dress so I didn't look to upset.
She slapped my hand.
"Stop messing, I am dress maker. Anyway stop trying to distract me. You are a Cullen." She said, starting to sound offended.
"How can you want me to be part of your family after what I did? How can any of you want me at this wedding? You should all hate me and be thankful that you don't have some trollop like me associated with your name." I said.
I slumped to the floor and put my head in my arms.
"You are stupid sometimes." Alice said, putting her hand on my arm. "Does it look as though Jasper hates you?"
"Well he should." I said, not taking my head out of my arms.
"But he doesn't." She said. "Now stand up so I can get this dress finished."
I sighed and stood back up.
I looked at myself in the mirror as Alice finished the last piece of the dress.
It was beautiful. A nice pale shade of pink and it fell all the way to the floor.
Alice, like I had expected, did a magnificent job.
"Stay there while I get your tiara and flowers. Then you'll know what it will all look like tomorrow." She smiled.
I laughed slightly as she sped out the room.
As I admired myself in the mirror, I caught a glimpse of Edward standing at the door.
"You look beautiful." He said.
I stared at him.
"Thank you." Was all I could say.
Edward nodded and looked at the floor, clearly thinking deeply.
"Save me a dance tomorrow." He asked, finally looking back up at me.
"Definitely." I said.
Edward nodded and left the room.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
This wasn't an easy choice to make.
