Again sorry for the wait. I'm not really feeling inspired but I'm trying.
I don't own twilight or the vampire diaries.
Chapter 10
Alice's POV
I was in my bedroom with Jasper. We have just been cuddling and making out, I love it when we have our moments like this. It's nice and sweet.
We hadn't been saying anything, just staring at each other with love filled eyes. I could tell that he was worried about me. Ever since my stupid brother had forced us to leave Forks, to leave Bella I had been different. But thinking that everyone had been different.
Even Rosalie.
She never told anyone this but she actually liked Bella. Only Jasper and I knew though. Jasper because of his gift and me because he can't keep a secret from me.
Even Edward didn't know, she was good at hiding her thoughts without drawing suspicion from Edward.
She only pretended to hate her because she knew that she wanted to be like us. She knew she was willing to give everything up to be with Edward forever. As hard as she tried to think that that was really sweet and willing of her she couldn't shake the feeling of despair that she was willing to give up having a baby, when all Rose wanted was to have a baby of her own.
But now that she is gone she wished that she would have just sucked up her pride and envy and gotten to know her, really know her.
Maybe even as a sister as I have come to know her.
But it was to late and she really regretted it, and everyone knew she regretted it.
Emmett would smile less, and laugh less. He tried to do everything he used to but everything he did reminded him of Bella. He was angry at Edward for taking away his sister, because that was how he saw her. As his little sister.
Esme was upset that she lost a daughter. So was Carlisle. But they tried to continue on with their lives thinking it just wasn't meant to be. But everyone saw how much pain they were in. they did after all consider her a daughter.
It was strange that in just a few months of knowing her everyone saw her as family.
Which is why everyone was in so much pain.
When it first happened we went straight to Alaska until we decided where to go. Edward was supposed to meet us there.
But he didn't. I saw his decision as soon as he made it. He was splitting apart from the family.
He knew everyone would be mad at him and he couldn't take it.
He was just in so much pain after what he had done.
So he left us without a goodbye. Without even telling us. He knew that we would know because I would have seen it but it didn't matter. He never even texted anyone.
He just left to brood. We don't even know where he is now.
Its another reason everyone is so upset. We didn't just lose Bella. We lost Edward too.
We were all upset over his decision to leave Bella and yes angry too.
If Edward had shown up at Alaska then we would have yelled at him. Well all apart from Esme and Carlisle, they were really hurt and disappointed but they were trying to support Edward.
But now it has been a few months and we have had a chance to calm down, we can understand where Edward was coming from. Or rather I could. I still think he over reacted and should have never left but I understand why he did it.
I also understand how hard it must have been for him to leave her.
Emmett agreed with me.
But even he couldn't make up his mind at how he felt. He was stuck between admire for the strength it must have taken for him to leave his loved one to protect her, he couldn't have done that. But he also felt absolute fury for him being too cowardly for running away from his fears and not facing them no matter the risk, so he could stay with Bella.
But despite all that. I still couldn't bring myself not to be angry at him. Neither could Emmett. No matter how much we understood his decision we were still furious at him for forcing us to leave behind our sister.
"Thinking of Edward again?"
I looked up then shocked. I hadn't noticed that I spaced out again. I smiled at Jasper and answered him.
"Yes. I can't help it. I just don't know what to do. I don't know if I should try to find him and force him to come home. Or if I should let him be to sulk. But its been 5 months and we haven't heard anything from him. He's not making any decisions so I don't even know if he is OK. I can't keep an eye on him and as much as I hate to admit it I miss him. I want him to come home. Everyone wants him home, even Emmett. But he doesn't want to and I don't want to force him back if he doesn't want to come back. Even though he forced us to do something we didn't want to. What do you think I should do Jazz?"
He looked into my pleading eyes for a minute and sighed. He leaned forward and kissed me on the forehead, when his lips made contact with my skin I felt calm and I knew he had just done it.
He leaned back and I gave him a great full smile. Which he returned.
"I think that we should leave him be. He obviously doesn't want to come back so we should respect that. He'll come back when he's ready."
"Do you really think that he will come back?" I asked him disbelievingly.
He sensed my disbelief and smiled at me.
"I think he will. Eventually. He won't be able to be alone forever. So it may take years, decades even but I do believe that he will come back. He'll find us when he wants to. You just have to have faith."
"How is it that you always know what to say to make me feel better?"
He smiled at me. I loved it when he looked at me like this, it made me feel incredibly loved, and it wasn't his gift. It was all me, all my feelings.
"I know you" He simply replied.
He then leaned forward but before his lips touched mine I gasped. He looked at me really worriedly but I wasn't paying attention. I was having a vision.
When my vision ended I was so shocked that all I could do was stare. Jasper sensing my shock started to panic thinking that I had finally had a vision of Edward.
Soon enough the rest of the family were in our bedroom looking worried waiting for me to explain what I saw. They must have been thinking that something was wrong.
Once the shock wore of a huge smile broke out on my face, and I started to shriek and bounce the way I used to before we left Bella.
"Do you think she's finally gone mad?" I heard Emmett mutter.
I turned around and gave him a glare but he just smiled an amused grin.
"Now now none of that or I won't tell you what I saw." I smiled when his grin turned into a frown.
Carlisle had had enough of our little squabble and decided to take charge.
"What did you see Alice? I assume it's good news?" He was looking really curious along with everyone else in the room.
I decided to put them out of their misery.
"I saw Bella and ..."
I was interrupted by everyone's gasp and then everyone started to talk at once.
"Is she alright?" asked Esme
"Is she hurt?" asked Carlisle
"Is she in the hospital again?" asked Emmett
"Don't joke Emmett!" Esme screeched
"Who's joking this is Bella were talking about" Emmett replied
"Is she depressed, do I need to go kill Edward?" asked Rosalie
"I thought Edward told you not to look for her future?" asked Jasper
"HEY!" I screeched to get everyone's attention. They all stopped talking simultaneously and I nearly giggled at the look on everyone's faces.
"Would I be this excited if Bella was hurt?"
At all there sheepish grins I did giggle.
"Sorry Alice. What was your vision about?" He asked looking even more curious.
"Well as I was saying I saw Bella and she's happy. She looks different and she was smiling. I saw her getting on a plane and she looked amazing. She was wearing a skirt and heels. I know right"
I said as all there jaws dropped.
"I saw her with a girl that had long dark brown hair, they were at the airport hugging and laughing after running to each other. I saw her being introduced to these two guys, then them watching a movie together. Then one of the guys carrying her up to what I abloom to be her bedroom. I saw her wondering around town and buying things for her room. I saw her painting her room with the guy that took her up to her bed. I saw her throwing a paint roller in a bucket and paint going everywhere, then them laughing simultaneously. I saw them telling each other about there ex's. Bella agreeing to be his girlfriend. Them kissing. Bella shopping. Them making out and them falling asleep in each other's arms while on the couch watching a movie. This is a good thing. It means Edward didn't destroy her, she managed to move on and is now really happy. She looked happier than she ever has, including when she was with Edward. This is a really good thing."
I was still smiling widely when I finished talking and waited for what they would say.
They were all smiling as they processed the information.
"I'm really happy for Bella." Esme said smiling. "I'm glad she has managed to move on"
"Well at least she won't be depressed, I'm happy for her too." Rose said smiling.
"I'm happy she is happy" Carlisle agreed smiling.
"Where did she move?" Emmett asked, he was smiling but he also looked excited.
"Mystic Falls, Virginia. She must have friends or family there. Why?" I asked not liking the excited look he got in his eyes.
"I want to move there. I want Bella back in our lives." He looked determined.
Everyone was quiet then. Considering it.
"I think that's a great idea" Rose said surprising everyone. Esme agreed once she recovered from her shock. Followed by me and then Jasper.
We all turned expectantly towards Carlisle who looked a little uncomfortable for some reason. Then I realised why.
"You don't want to go?" I asked him quietly knowing he could hear me perfectly.
Everyone else looked shocked and turned to him again.
He stuttered a little surprisingly and then cleared his voice and spoke.
"Its not that I don't want to because I do. I would love to move to Mystic Falls so Bella can be in our lives again but we can't."
At our confused looks he explained.
"It's sunny there. We wouldn't be able to leave the house in the day and people will get suspicious."
Realising that he was right we looked down dejected.
But Emmett was hell bent on going to see Bella.
"Can't we just pretend to be doing night classes at the college and you get a night shift at the hospital?" He asked Carlisle with no hope in his voice knowing the answer.
"I'm sorry Emmett but we can't. Its too suspicious. Look I hate to say this but maybe Bella won't even want us there. Alice said that she is happy, maybe we should let her be happy. It would most likely hurt her if we just showed up out of the blue. Besides, Edward left so she could live a normal happy human life. This is her chance. Do you really want to take that away from her?" He asked
Nobody said anything. We all knew he was right. But I wasn't giving up. So I proposed an idea.
"Your right. About the sun issue though. I do agree with what you said Carlisle. So I have an idea" I said and waited for him to respond. He nodded his head to tell me to continue.
"There is a flaw in Edwards plan. He said we had to leave to let her have a human life but he never said we have to have no contact with her. I suggest we phone her. She still has the same number. I think we should call her and ask for a weekly call to stay in contact. It's as good as we can get because of the sun issue. I think we should tell her our opinions. That we miss her and want to keep in contact. If she accepts then great. We'll be in her life in one way or another. If she declines then we accept her wishes and leave her alone. That way its up to her what she wants. What do you think?"
I looked at them all expectantly. I already knew what they were gonna say but I just wanted to hear it.
They all smiled and nodded their heads. Carlisle grabbed the phone and dialled her number.
He then put it on speaker phone. Not that we needed it but this way Bella could hear us.
We all were impatient hoping she was going to say.
Finally on the fourth ring the dial stopped and for the first time in over 5 months we heard the voice of Bella Swan.
Bella's POV
I was in my bedroom waiting for Damon to pick me up so we could go to the pageant together and while I waited I couldn't help thinking about how crazy this week had been. When I woke up on the couch lying in Damon's arms I felt incredibly overwhelmed. Whenever I woke up in Edwards arms he was always awake as he couldn't sleep. But Damon was still asleep and he looked so peaceful that I almost forgot that he has this cocky side to him. That he puts up walls when he's around people. When he sleeps all that goes away and all hats left behind is Damon. Just Damon and no extra baggage.
He was just laying on the couch with me squeezed in next to him and half on him against the back so I didn't fall off. My arms were wrapped around his waist and my face against his chest.
I made no move to get up because I liked being in Damon's arms. It made me feel safe. I did however lift my face to just stare at him. Tracing the features of his face with my hand.
Of course that moment had been ruined when Elena walked in. She smiled when she saw us but then reminded me that it was my first day at school.
School was just as I expected it to be. Everyone staring at me, I was really glad that I had Elena there. Stephan was there too and Elena was really surprised when she saw him.
The rest of the day was spent with me thinking about Damon. He woke up as I was about to leave and he planned on picking me up after school. I was literally counting the seconds.
We had practically spent the whole week together. Whenever I wasn't with him though I was with Elena and sometimes Jenna. But it was mostly Damon.
After waking up in his arms it felt empty going to bed and waking up alone. I wished he could spend every night here but I knew that he couldn't.
On my second day of school during lunch time I got a call from an unknown number.
I was very surprised when it turned out to be the Cullen's Well all but one anyway. They told me that they really missed me and that they wanted to keep in touch with a weekly call.
I was very surprised since Edward told me that I would never hear from them again. But once they told me why they left I was shocked into silence.
After a few minutes I composed myself because I was worrying Elena who was sat opposite me. Stephan had to go home because he forgot something he needed.
I then asked the cullens what they were talking about and told them what Edward said to me.
To say that they were pissed was an understatement. But they told me the real reason why they left and I was once again shocked.
Edward loved me. He only left to protect me from him and his world.
But the strange thing was that once I heard the truth. That he still loved me, I felt nothing. Nothing different. I would have thought that I would go to where ever he was and beg him to forget his fears that I loved him and was willing to risk the dangers.
But I didn't. I didn't want to. I still couldn't wait until I could see Damon again.
That thought scared me because I did love with Edward, I did. But yet all I could still think of was Damon. That thought scared me because I knew that I had strong feelings for Damon already but did this mean that I loved him? I just didn't know.
They also told me that they wished they could move here to be with me but couldn't because of the sun. They told me to think about their offer but I didn't have to. I had really missed them and told them so.
Rosalie had apologized and even told me that she always liked me but was envious of me.
To say I was shocked was an understatement.
They all gave me their mobile numbers and promised to call once a week when Alice could see I wasn't busy. But I also planned on texting them.
A lot.
Especially Alice.
I had missed her the most. She was after all my best friend.
When I told Damon he was happy for me. He was even happier though when I mentioned Edward wasn't apart of it.
It took a lot of talking to get me to calm him down once I told him that what he had said was a lie.
I think he thought that I was going to leave him and go find Edward. He still wasn't a big Edward fan. Not that I could blame him though.
The rest of the week went by normally.
Everyone was excited for the pageant tonight. It was all anyone could talk about.
Elena was sad that her mum couldn't be there for her since it was her who signed Elena up in the first place but me and Jenna was doing our best to comfort her.
Damon was dying to know what I would be wearing since I refused to tell him only saying that it was a surprise.
Me and Damon were getting on great but there was a lot of strange things I noticed around him.
He was really fast.
Seemed to be able to hear small whispers from across the room.
Would often say things with Elena that I didn't understand, like there was hidden meanings behind what they were saying.
He was also keeping a secret from me. I tried to get him to tell me, I told him he could trust me but even though he said he did trust me he still didn't tell me. I didn't push him though. Since I had a secret that I couldn't tell him either.
I heard a gasp and turned to see Damon staring at me open mouthed. I suppressed a giggle and got up and walked over to him.
"So what do you think?" I asked him nervously, even though I knew he liked the dress. Alice had told me and she also complimented me on my new fashion sense.
"I think you look very sexy and tempting"
His eyes were that deep blue they went when he was feeling lust and I giggled.
Before I could even say anything he pressed his lips to mine in a heated kiss. I knew we were going to be late but I couldn't bring myself to care.
The drive was torture, it was silent but not awkward. But we were both filled with such powerful lust. I hadn't noticed in my room because I was too preoccupied with his reaction to me but he looked gorgeous. He wasn't in all black this time which surprised me, that's all he ever wore. He was wearing a suit. Black trousers and tie, shoes and blazer and a white shirt. What surprised me more was that he wasn't wearing his leather jacket. I missed the jacket on him but he still looked gorgeous without it, and we were both feeling the lust.
Since we were running late because of our make-out session which made me blush and smile just thinking about it we were the last ones to arrive.
Damon excused himself saying he needed to talk to Elena and I went over to talk to Bonnie.
We weren't as close as we used to be but we were OK now. We talked anyway. Not a lot but still. It was something.
By the time Damon came back the girls were starting to descend the staircase.
When Elena's name was called me and Damon panicked because Stephan her escort wasn't there, even though he was here earlier. When Elena was about to reach the bottom Damon quickly went to stand there instead and took Stephan's place so Elena wouldn't be humiliated.
Once their dance was over Chief Forbes got to Damon before I could and the next thing I knew he was telling me he would be right back and wanted me to wait here.
This night was starting to get really strange.
Once Caroline was named 'Miss Mystic Falls' and Damon still wasn't back I started to get a bit worried.
But then I saw him rushing to Elena's side, whisper something to her and with a panicked look they both ran outside. I saw Bonnie looking curious and then follow them out.
Me being me was also too curious to stay behind so I also followed them.
But what I saw was not what I expected, at all.
There was the girl that was supposed to be in the contest but no one could find laying on the floor bleeding heavily from her neck, Stephan also had blood all over his face but the most of it was at his mouth, his eyes were all vainy and it looked like he had fangs?
Damon was slowly trying to calm Stephan down when he was thrown into the tree by Stephan. Elena just looked panicked. But then Stephan started yelling in pain and everyone looked surprised but then they saw Bonnie. They still hadn't seem me. Then as quickly as it had started Stephan stopped yelling and then ran into the woods looking horrified at what he had done.
The others just stood there and Elena told Bonnie to go get help.
When she turned around she gasped which caused Elena and Damon to look up aswell.
They had finally noticed I was there.
It was so quiet. No one knew what to say. I could tell that they were panicking not knowing how long I had been there. If I had seen Stephan or not.
I was just so shocked. This could not be happening again. I knew they had a secret but not one like this. I didn't even know what this was. I didn't understand.
I needed to get away from here. I needed to get back to my room. I wanted to call the Cullen's and ask if they understood it but I couldn't. I wouldn't betray their secret even if I didn't understand it.
Once I felt the tears start to fall down my cheeks I turned and ran.
Ignoring the calls that I could hear Damon and Elena shouting.
OK so there's a long chapter. I hope it makes up for the long wait.
