Hey Guys soo I really hope you like it. If you don't no worries feel free to shout at me. I am really getting into this story and am enjoying writing it. :)

Chapter 4

As I was getting off my bike all I wanted to do was crawl into bed. Why is the light on in my apartment ok weird?

OMG my eyes are burning WHAT THE FUCK? Angela and John... on my couch... half naked..."Oh my God John, dude put on some pants...you guys are so washing my couch tomorrow. I have heard you at it before but honestly dude I was so not ready to putting the visual to the audio."

Is that a tattoo on John's ass? "Wow John nice tattoo, really manly." He has a picture of tweedy bird on his fucking ass. If I was not so incredibly repulsed right now with images of me being two minutes later I would be rolling on the floor with laughter.

"Bella, what are you doing home?" OK to be fair she probably thought I was going to end up in some random girl's or guys bed. Still standing there in her bra. They are so getting the bill from my therapist.

"You will never guess who I ran into tonight...seriously dude...where's your pants?" As I said that John took this as his cue to go into Angela's room and wait for girl talk to be over. Pulling on his pants which ended up on top off the table in the kitchen,

"How the hell did my pants get on top off the table?" All of these mental images of them on the table were now flying through my head at warp speed.

"You guys had sex on my table? Oh come on I have to eat off that." he gave Angela a kiss and a quick "goodnight" to me he left. "Your boyfriend is a pussy...CHICKENSHIT!" I yelled to him his laughter then echoing all throughout the house.

"OK tell me everything now. Who was it? Ex-boyfriend? Ex-girlfriend?" That girl could not take a breath. Yeah right trying to change the subject. I will get to her and John's extra-curricular activities later.

"Promise not to freak out and do the whole ass-kicking protective shit? Promise me Angela! This is big." She was worried now.

"Are you ok? Was it Dylan?" No thank god if I ever have to see that piece of shit again I would end in a jail cell for assault.

"Yeah I'm fine. I saw the Cullen's" Her jaw actually dropped. "Angela...Hello Angela...OK I will be sitting here when you want to talk." She was staring at me wide eyed.

"Wait WHAT? They just show up? They can't just show up after all this time an expect you to just...SERIOUSLY fucking stupid abandonment abandoners?" ok she is pissed. The reason I can tell is because she is no longer making sense. "I mean he leaves you in the woods...the FUCKING woods and now just waltzes back as if he didn't...what the hell. Oh that's it I'm gonna kick his ass...stupid paranoid vampire." Oh yeah she knows the whole reason she knows is well John is a vampire, although not a sparkly one, he came from a long line of Salvatore's a very long line also she is a vampire the same breed as John Angela was turned a little while after graduation when she met John and that's when her gift started to arrive. (I know again stolen from Vampire Diaries but sorry I had too. PLEASE DONT HATE ME for turning Angela.)

He is a bad ass so when Angela told me when she was drunk mind you I told her about the Cullen's. Maybe a little stupid, but on the other hand maybe the smartest thing I have ever done. She was there with me from the start and if she gets her way will be to the very end. Oh my god she is still ranting...after like 15 minutes and many "fucking asshole and shithead" along with a threat to his "sparkled vampire ass" later she began to calm down...Kind of.

"Angela...I'm going to see them tomorrow." That made her even more pissed.

"What Bella why? Sweetie I don't want you to get hurt again." Strike that she was really pissed.

"Babe It wasn't them all ok...Esme and Carlisle they were like my surrogate parents and they were like family I don't blame them...I blame him but I'm over it ok. I want to thank them; if they didn't leave I would not be who I am right now. I would be sparkling and still a little bit of a pussy. Plus I would not know you. You are like my sister which is why I want you to come with me. Please?"

I know she would not be able to resist me or at least resist the urge to kick Edward's ass all the way from here to Thailand. Her features softened and I knew I had her.

"Thank you so much Angela really I promise you won't regret it ok. Edward is fair game you can kick his ass if you want but they rest of the family if off limit's ok? Oh and Rosalie applied for a job as a Coyote." I am exhausted. Really exhausted. "Listen babe I am gonna go to bed I am totally wiped. See you in the morning. After giving her a peck on the cheek I decided for a shower. As I stepped under the incredibly warm spray of water I could feel all of my stress of the day just melt off me...wrapped in a towel and rummaging in my drawer for a pair of panties and a t-shirt, I stopped to pinch myself. Was this day real? Are they back for good? If Rosalie is getting a job then they must be...or the very least she must be. There it was the sweet velvety voice I hadn't heard in nearly five years.

"Bella...I'm sorry for just coming in like this." Yeah right he used to break and enter all the time in Forks he should be a pro by now. With my back towards him he continued. "I wanted to apologise but I thought I would wait until Angela Webber threatened to castrate me." I still refuse to look at him because I knew if I did then I wouldn't know whether to kiss him of kick him...really hard. "Bella please talk to me I am so sorry I didn't mean what I said when I left." His voice was full of hurt and pain. I took this as my queue to interrupt him still though I didn't turn around; I know Angela is listening in the other room.

"I know...I knew since you left, I don't blame you Edward." It's true I didn't blame him. At that my door burst open.

"She doesn't blame you but I sure as hell fucking do..." I could see John trying to hold her back but desperately failing. "She was fucking catatonic when you left, she didn't eat, hardly slept and never let anyone in. I am not...I repeat not going to let you come in here and fucking hurt her again." OK I need to stop this before she does hurt him. "You manipulative, sparkly, paranoid little bloodsucker." OK she is gonna kill him. Or castrate him whichever is easier. I didn't realise the point when Edward stood up he actually looked frightened.

"Guys come on now is not the time please don't. Angela we need to talk can you give us like a half hour...please?" She gave in and they both left to hunt. When they left I exhaled a breath I didn't even know I was holding.

"Bella..." OK it's my turn. Facing him full on eye contact.

"Shut up... you got your shot now it is my turn to speak. I was broken. Physically and emotionally broken when you left. Do you have any idea how much I loved you? I have never and probably will never love another man the way I loved you. When you left I turned to sex, drugs and alcohol." I could see him visibly wince at this but I am on a roll. "I am not the same girl that you left behind I am stronger and less clumsy than I was. If you are going to leave then do it because I am not getting close to you again just to have my heart shattered. If you do stay you and I are just friend that is it." He looks hurt but it was the only way I cannot be in that position again where he can hurt me.

"Can I speak please Bella? I never ever meant to hurt you at all. Everything with James and then with Jasper I figured you would be better off with a normal life. Husband, kids and all that. I am sorry." He meant it. I can tell. "I would be honoured to be your friend." Wow maybe he has changed. "As your 'friend' can I ask you something?

"Sure" OK...where they hell is he gonna go with this?

"How on earth does Angela Webber know I am a vampire?" Oh my god ok how do I explain this.

"That's not my story to tell but she is a vampire." His mouth hung open wide to the wall. "Your gonna catch flies. Look I am really tired and I have to be up tomorrow to see my parents away at the airport and then I am coming to your house to see Carlisle and Esme. So I am going to go to bed and when I wake up you will not be here. Capiche? Ok good, you can make your own way out. The last thoughts were of tomorrow. What on earth lies in store for me?

R&R Please! love you Helen xxxxxxxxxx :)
