Chapter 12:Believe What You Want
Edward's Point Of View:
Before heading to my place,Lithia drove me to my car. Where I left it,since I was too lazy to take it home. Once I got in we both took off. On the way there it looked like Lithia wanted to race me there,she had a little head start but I eventually caught up with her but she beat me. She had no trouble finding her way to my house. She still remembered. It was weird racing her,seeing her drive as fast as I do,from what I can remember she never liked it when I drove fast. But it's kinda great she likes to drive fast as well. When we got there Alice unsurprisingly was standing on the last step of the porch. She ran to Lithia and hugged her around her waist. Of course Lithia hugged back and then Alice said.
"Shit,it's good to see you again Bella."
Lithia smiled then said.
"Yeah,same here. But please call me "Lithia" I don't like being called "Bella" anymore."
"Of course. Sorry,I'm just so used to calling you "Bella"." Alice said.
"I know." Lithia said.
That's when I said.
"So,I assume that everyone knows what's going on right now Ali."
"Yes,everything but about Lithia." Alice responded.
"Of course...did you try explaining to them that she id "Bella"?" I asked.
"Yes I have tried,but as you can tell from their reactions...well they think you're going through your depression phase,again." Alice said.
Alice was right,from what I could read from her thoughts,their reactions were not so good. But it looked like Jasper believed Alice. But then again he would believe anything Alice told him. Then Lithia started to speak,making me lose my train of thought.
"So,let's show them the proof."
"What?" I asked.
"The proof, I mean, you're looking right at it. All you have to do is try to explain it to them again,but this time I come in and then they're going to have to believe that I'm "Bella"." Lithia said.
"That may actually work Edward." Alice said.
"I think you're right." I agreed.
"Then,let's go." Lithia said.
All 3 of us went inside of the house,and fortunately everybody was in the living room so this was going to be easy. I think. I made Lithia stay in the hallway until I came to get her or until Ali came to get her. So Ali and I went to the living room and then one by one each face turned toward me with worried eyes. Then I started reading each and everyone's mind in that room.
"Edward,son, don't do this to yourself." Carlisle thought.
"Edward,bro not this same bullshit again." Emmett thought.
"Edward,this isn't healthy,you need some damn help. Fast." Rosalie thought.
"Edward,sweetheart,please don't do this again. We can't go through it a second time."Esme thought.
"Don't worry Edward, I believe you." Jasper thought.
I looked at him and I smiled and mouthed "Thank You." to him. He smiled back, and again that's when Emmett spoke out his mind.
"Edward,why put your self through this shit again?"
I rolled my eyes at him and said.
"Em,put yourself in my shoes,what if you lost Rose? Knowing that it could have gone differently if you actually got back with her before she disappeared...trust me Em you would be doing the same thing I'm doing now."
Emmett thought about that for a minute,then he looked at Rose, who smiled at him then turned back to me and said.
"You're right. I would."
I nodded. Then I heard Ali's thoughts.
"Do you want me to get her,or are you going to?" She thought.
I motioned her to get Lithia. She nodded and headed to the hallway. I turned back to my family and said.
"Okay, if you won't believe me. Then see for yourself."
"What are you talking about?" Rose asked.
"Ali,Lithia,please join us." I said.
Ali was the first to come out then Lithia came out. Everyone was confused, Lithia just stood there waiting for them to say something. I went by her side and wrapped an arm around her waist. Finally, someone broke the silence.
"How is this proof?" Rose asked.
"You honestly don't remember me guys." Lithia said.
"How can we,I mean we just met a day ago at lunch." Emmett said.
"Who are you dear?" Esme asked.
"I'm Lithia Salvatore. But you used to know me as Bella Swan." She said.
"Lithia,if you're "Bella Swan", would you mind if we ask you a few questions that only "Bella" would know?" Jasper asked.
I looked at her face,it looked like she wanted to laugh,but then she became serious and answered.
"Sure, fire away."
Emmett smiled, then began asking the questions.
"Alright,question one,what did I die from?"
"Bear attack." Lithia said quickly.
"Cor...correct." Em said slowly.
"Second question, what year was Edward born and what year did he die?" Em asked.
I flinched, I didn't like talking about my human life,especially Bella, well I mean Lithia. Lithia was slow answering this question. She felt the same way, I'm guessing. But finally answered.
"His birth year was 1901 and the year of his death was 1918."
"What was he dieing from?" Em asked.
"Spanish Influenza, well now known as Swine Flu." She answered.
"Who would win in a fight,me or Edward?" Em said quickly.
"You." She said with a huge smile.
"Holy shit! Oh my fucking god! It really is you Bella." Em said with a surprised tone.
He lifted her up into a bear hug and spun her around. Once he put her down she said.
"Yeah it's me, but please call me Lithia."
"Wow, it really is you." Rose said with disappointment.
"Nice to see you too Rose." Lithia said.
Rose left the room. Emmett went after her. Then Jasper hugged Lithia and then said.
"It great not wanting to kill you all the time."
We all laughed, then he asked.
"So, where did you go?"
"Huh?" Lithia responded.
"When you left Forks." Jasper said.
"Oh, I went to Romania. I lived there for a year or two."
"Why Romania?" He asked.
"I was in a rush, that and it was random because I knew Alice would be watching." She answered.
"Interesting." Jasper said.
After Jasper said that Carlisle finally said something.
"I still can't believe you're "Bella" Lithia."
Lithia looked at Carlisle, she gave him a small smile and said.
"Carlisle,believe what you want. You can believe I'm "Bella" or not. It's all up to you. Not me."
Carlisle smiled at her and he walked across the room and hugged her. Esme did the same thing after a minute. That's when Carlisle asked the important question. The second reason why Lithia and I are here.
"So what's this big deal with Nicole,Edward?"
I started to explain and from what I can tell right now we're going to need a fucking miracle if we plan on stopping Nicole.
