I turned away from the window, sighing. I didn't know that I could feel this way about someone I had never met. I felt intrigued, his mysteriousness only pulled me in. Was he scared? What could he have to hide? Or maybe it was what I was hiding.

I hadn't even been here 10 minutes.

Light filled my room in a way that I admired, having been living in a room which limited any natural light with a miniscule window for several weeks. By the window was a comfortable looking bean bag chair, as if they knew I would treasure the time looking out at the nature that surrounded this house. Curiosity took over me and I wheeled myself over to the two doors on the other side of the room, expecting a small closet. I had extremely underestimated them. Behind the doors was basically a whole other room. And it was completely filled with clothes.

I found a note pinned to the inside of the door.

Enjoy

-Alice

The value of this closet must be more than everything I have ever owned put together. Hundreds of designer brands along railings, from glittering dresses to platform heels. Did she really think I was going to wear these things? I spied out some clothes more to my liking towards the back, although they were in short supply. Jeans and sneakers, my favourites. There were whole sections devoted to sweaters, skirts and shirts and they were even in coloured sections. I couldn't believe they had done this all for me. They didn't even know..what I was. I know I owed it to them to tell them, but I just couldn't yet. There was something inside me that just couldnt let go.

I quickly left the room and returned to my own. The bed looked so inviting, but I knew I shouldn't stay in this room forever. I wanted to get to know Carlisle's family, and staying here wouldn't help the matter. Maybe they would shed some light on Edward's abrupt departure, even though they all looked as confused as I did when he had disappeared. Why was I letting this eat away at me? I just wanted answers.

Downstairs I could hear roaring laughter, to which I assumed came from Emmett. The laughter was quickly followed by grunts and I realised they must have been playing video games. My suspicions were correct as I decided to come out of my room. Frustration took over me as I tried to work my wheelchair. I wasn't used to feeling so useless and it really took its toll on me. I hated it. The wheelchair was a sign of weakness.

As I entered the living room, Jasper took my by surprise.

"Don't feel like that. You're only upsetting yourself further." He said as he welcomed Alice into his muscly arms.

"How..?" I trailed off, confusion clear in my voice. I didn't even know what to say.

"Jasper can feel emotions, it's a vampire thing." Alice said while smiling. Feel emotions? That was incredible.

"That's..that's amazing." I managed to breathe out. I wish shapeshifters could have such amazing powers.

"If you think that's good, then wait till you see what my Alice can do." More powers? I couldn't even imagine what it might be. Before I could speak Alice held her finger up to my lips.

"You'll have to wait and see for that one." She winked at me and happily skipped away, Jasper in tow. I sat in my wheelchair looking at the art on the walls. I secretly wished to have a relationship like theirs. Such love and affection had been missing in my life for so long, I was starting to forget what it felt like to be close to someone. I felt my eyes staring at a family portrait. Into Edward's eyes. I wondered if he got lonely here, living with three couples. I wheeled myself further until I reached the kitchen. Esme and Carlisle were reading out of a cookbook, a rather odd thing to do if you're a vampire. Esme looked up from the book

"Bella! How did you like your room? Are the colours okay? Because I can change the scheme if you want." Esme said as she walked around towards me.

"No! It's perfect. More than perfect, really. I wasn't expecting it. And...the closet." I said.

"You'll get used to Alice, I promise. We all have one." She laughed lightly and I joined in. "Would you like something to eat? Me and Carlisle have been looking for meals we could cook for you."

"I'll be fine with a sandwich, if that's okay." I said, as I felt my stomach growl. But I wouldn't make them cook something especially for me. They smiled and I realised they must have gone food shopping all for me. Living here was going to be weird. I wheeled myself over to the couch and attempted to get myself out but I hadn't got the hang of it yet. Carlisle quickly came to my assistance and put my down gently on the soft brown leather.

"Thanks." I said shyly, I didn't want to have to have assistance every time I needed to move.

Esme came over with my sandwich and I happily ate it, making sure I got every crumb.

"Bella, there's something we need to talk about." Carlisle said, as he joined Esme on the couch opposite me.

"Go on..." I said hesitantly.

"Well..seeing as we legally adopted you and you're on government records, it does require you to attend school. I hope that isn't too much trouble for you, your siblings will be right there beside you." I guess I knew this was coming, but I couldn't complain. I hadn't attended school in a while so maybe this would be good for me. The word siblings really stood out to me when he said it, I wasn't used to that thought.

"As much as I don't want to, I'm going to have to agree." They smiled at each other warmly.

"Great, I'll go inform the school." Esme said as she got up and headed towards the living room.

"I'm sure Alice will look after you on Monday." Carlisle smiled.

I heard a small squeal from upstairs, obviously Alice was excited, which I couldn't say so for myself. I wondered if I should ask about Edward but found myself silent, listening to the thoughts inside my head instead. He couldn't stay away for long, and I couldn't wait until I got to see him again.
