Chapter 3

Facing your fear that was a very easy part of living life. Facing your past let's just say if I was going to have some sort of weird fucking conversation with them I was going to need some liquid courage...ok a lot of liquid courage, I think Jose Cuervo will be my soul mate for tonight. That was only back up if I needed it...if they approach me that is. Seeing them all again for the first time hurt like a fucking freight train running over me. Why here? Why New York of all places? I couldn't help but look over at the six which were currently sitting down...well I guess they recovered from seeing their poor defenseless human pet turn into a bad ass, rough around the edges woman with whore like tendencies OK only with Jose, feeling Rosalie tap me on the shoulder made it all feel real...I definitely wasn't dreaming anyway.

"Bella..." I could sense the hesitant tone within her voice. "Not wanting to sound rude or anything but where the hell did you learn to drop that piece of shit like that?" Was that fucking pride in her voice? Was she proud that I kicked the shit out of a piece of shit? OK she is definitely high.

"Rosalie..." she cut me off before I could even get whatever was brewing inside me out in a sentence.

"Bella if we are going to be working together...which I hope we are I want you to call me Rose. Please" She had that all too familiar whine in her voice when she was pleading that kind of reminded me of that damned pixie that was Alice Cullen. If she wasn't someone who I knew could kill me with a flick of the wrist I would have kicked her ass, but alas she could kill me before I even realized what the hell was going on.

"OK Rose..." that just sounded kind of fucked up I mean seriously Rose. I like this new side of her but I have a question, a serious question, can vampires be affected by drugs, because if they can then the Ice Queen has been well and truly dosed with something "I hate for this to sound mean but...who the fuck gave you a complete personality makeover?" Ok that did sound mean...maybe a little too mean but she spent the whole time I was with Edward acting like a complete and total dick to me so why the hell is she being nice all of a sudden?

"Bella I'm really sorry for how I acted toward you...I was...I was angry." What the fuck? Is she for real what the hell did I ever do to her? Why the fuck was she angry at me for...I did nothing but bend over backwards to accommodate her. "You had a choice Bella. The choice to grow old and be happy or to become like us and at the time in my head is was a bad decision on your part, but after we left I knew that maybe it would have been better if we stayed. Everyone was miserable. We missed you. Alice missed her best friend, Jasper felt so guilty..." At that moment I looked over toward the table and saw Jasper looking towards his feet, I didn't need to have empathic tendencies to know what he was feeling.

"I never blamed Jasper for anything Rosalie...sorry Rose. It wasn't his fault, none of it was his fault and I don't want him to feel it was. I don't blame any of you for leaving its ok. I am who I am and I can honestly say that I would not be the person I am today if you didn't leave. I would still be the shy, klutzy and insecure little girl that I was." I looked over and all of the vampires had a semi shocked look on their faces. I wasn't lying I forgave them a while after I came out of my catatonic state. Hearing the patron's call we knew we had to get back to work.

"C'mon I will give you the rundown of what you need to do." I took the nod of her head to mean that she agreed with me. She picked things up pretty quickly and by the end of the night she was going at it like a pro. Lil decided she was the best the other two didn't even stand a chance. Rose was gorgeous and she knew how to sling drinks the only thing she needed to do was go tomorrow morning and have a dance lesson on all the dances after that she would be flying through. Just before Justin threw all the patrons out Rose went over to the Cullen's. I took it to be they were leaving due to Esme putting on her coat, not that she needed it. She walked towards me. I really hope she isn't going to ask me anything I can't say no to her.

"Bella...I was just wondering...are you working tomorrow?" If I said yes maybe she would let me off...I know...just know she wants me to come up to the Cullen's house. Do I want to talk to them? Do I want them to know the story? What the hell. Fuck it.

"No I'm not actually." Her face actually lit up...here we go

"How would you feel about coming over to our house we all want to catch up with you?" I wasn't actually sure whether or not I could handle that. I am different and the brain mouth filter that used to be there when I was 18...well let's just say it's non-existent now. I say anything and everything that pops into my head. What if I offend them, maybe it isn't such a good idea, on the other hand I wanted to talk to them again...I wanted to talk to him again. I knew all that stuff about now loving me was bullshit...but maybe he has found someone else.

"OK...umm I have a few things to do in the morning but give me the address and I will come over after." I really hope it isn't going to be awkward.

"Great...we all really miss you..." she was effectively cut off by Lil wolf whistling at Alice and calling her over.

"Damn girl, you sure would roll in the tips...a little firecracker like you...are you by any chance looking for a job?" Oh sweet Jesus what is this coming to the Cullen Family...have to be a part of the undead as a job requirement. I decided to ignore the rest of that conversation and turned to Esme.

"Esme...I missed you too, all of you." As I said that I looked over at Edward. The shocked expression of his face was enough for me he looked ashamed. "Don't get me wrong I was pissed when you left without saying goodbye...but look at me...can you honestly say that I would be the way I am if you guys had stayed." She shook her head. Glancing at the clock I realized that I had to get home and sleep. My parents were leaving tomorrow morning. "I got to go but what the address?" She wrote it down on a napkin and put all of their numbers in my cell before I even noticed. I completely forgot how cool all of the Cullen's extra abilities were. "Thanks." She gave me a hug as did Alice who just appeared out of nowhere.

"Bye Bella...are we going to see you tomorrow?" She said in her normal chipper self.

"Yeah Alice. I will be over on the afternoon. I have to drop my parents to the Airport. Today was my college graduation." Her face lit up

"OMG are you serious what did you study? Actually wait till tomorrow and tell us everything OK?" That girl had too much fucking energy.

"OK I will see you tomorrow" and they all filtered out except Rosalie who offered to stay and clean up. After about an hour Lil told us to go home for the night. Getting my stuff and walking toward the door with Rosalie hot on my heels. I thought she was going to be shocked when she saw my bike and true enough as soon as I sat on it she looked like a cartoon character with the jaw dropping and eyes bulging out.

"Seriously...Bella a motorcycle...Edward would have a fit if he saw you on this..." As she was rambling about bike facts I pulled on my Jacket and helmet from the back of it.

"Rose I have to go Angela will be waiting for me... and to be perfectly honest Edward isn't a part of my life now" She cut me off before I could finish

"Angela as in Angela Webber from Forks?" She was confused of shocked I couldn't really tell the difference.

"Yeah we live together as roommates."

"Wow cool she was a nice girl." Angela is different now too they would probably be more shocked of her transformation than mine. Really Sweet and Innocent girl.

"Well I guess we all change cause she isn't so sweet and innocent now. She is actually a Coyote." I told her and she did look shocked but contemplative.

"Wow I would never have expected her to be up for this kind of job." I am so tired, Bed, Home NOW!

"Listen Rose I'm going to head home now I'm completely wiped" As I said that I straddled my bike and started it, we said our goodbyes and I put on my helmet and sped out of the parking lot leaving behind one serious slack-jawed vampire. Well tomorrow was going to be fun. Angela is going to want to kick their ass but that is a whole other story. She remembers what they did to me. What kind of a state I was in after they left, and for that she would want to kick some serious ass. Tomorrow is gonna be really fun.

Thank you to all the story alerts I appreciate it. Please read and review all opinions welcome. :)
