Bella POV

I laid across the couch, my head in Chris' lap, thinking about what would be happening in the next few days. We would both be going back to school, though we had both graduated many times before. We still had to go and pick up our cars. I sat up and pulled my companion with me.

"Let's go shopping, shall we?" He stood and followed me out the door. We drove the rental car to the dealer. The first car we bought was a black BMW M6 Convertible.

It was one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen and it was very fast. That was for school, because we had to be subtle. We also got two black Lamborghini LP 550-2 Spyders for out of town. That took all day to do, then we spent the rest of the next day picking up clothes for school. Before we knew it, it was Monday and we had to get ready for school. This time, we were going to be the nice but badass twins.

Chris dressed in a black button down with dark wash jeans, black leather jacket, black and white Adidas high tops and black suspenders that hung down. I wore black skinny jeans, black leather jacket, black knee high boots and a black tee with white letters. I didn't read the shirt but I think it said I heart Cali or some other state. We drove up to the school and immediately all eyes went to us. I was used to the attention now so it didn't bother me too much. We both slipped on our sunglasses and got out of the car.

The smell hit me head on, even though they were all they way across the parking lot. I shielded both of us so that Edward wouldn't get into our heads. I know that he could do it himself, but it was just easier if I did it without talking. As we walked into the school I glanced at them from the corner of my eye.

They all looked the same, but I noticed that Rose and Emmet were standing as far away from each other as they could get. As we passed them I felt myself absorb Edward, Alice and Jazz's abilities. I was quick to test out the mind reading on Emmet and Rose.

She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I want her so bad. This sucks. I bet he's her mate. Both Chris and I laughed at that. Then Emmett's booming voice filled my head.

I can't believe her. First she tells me that she doesn't love me anymore and now she's ogling at a girl who she hasn't even really met yet. What the Hell! Coming back here is going to be harder than I thought. I wish we had never left.

If I was human I probably would've cried, but instead I just leaned on Chris and he whispered calming words into my ear. In the years after our change, Chris ad I got close. We started off as friends and through the years we have become friends with benefits. He is my best friend and knows everything about me. Eventually I had moved past my abandonment and I told him about my history with the Cullens and that they were like us.

"Izzy, we can go home if you want. I know seeing them has to be hard for you." I looked over and smiled at him.

"I'm good. You'll be here with me all day so," We walked into AP Bio and sat down beside each other. I saw Rosalie and Edward walk in.

This is so hard. I never wanted to come back here, especially after I heard what happened to Bella. She is dead because we all left. I loved her so much and that idiot had to go and get in the way because she was his singer. He didn't love her, he was only obsessed with her blood and the fact that he couldn't hear her mind.

Edward groaned. Why is she making this so much harder than this has to be? I didn't know what would happen. I know they all blame me, but they shouldn't. This was just as much their fault as mine. I may have told them to leave but they didn't have to. Well actually, they did. Man I feel bad.

I growled. Edward was remembering the story that he had told Carlisle so that they would leave. He had said that I didn't want to see the family anymore and the more he talked in the memory, the more pissed off I was getting. Rosalie turned around and looked at me. She gasped and I stiffened. I knew she had figured it out and I subtly shook my head. She nodded and turned back around.

She focused on the class to keep me out of her thoughts. Halfway through the class I asked to go to the bathroom and I knew she would follow. Once I walked into the bathroom I turned and saw the blonde vampire standing there. She pulled me into a tight hug, and I hugged her back.

"Hi Rose. I missed you." I said. She looked at me and smiled.

"I missed you too. No offense, but I though you were dead."

I chuckled, "Technically I am, but after you guys left I was sort of out of it the first few months. One day I decided to just drive to Seattle and that's where I met Chris. He was there for me and we became very close. One day we were out and on our way to the car we were bitten. I dragged him into the car and we stayed there for the two days it took me to complete my change. I took him to your house. We've stuck by each other's sides since then and I am happy to tell you we both have clean records. I think we may be even better at this life than Carlisle. I have never tasted and no longer crave human blood."

She smiled at me. "You should join us for lunch. I'm sure Chris would love to meet the famous Rosalie Hale. Just don't tell anyone who I am yet."

She smiled and nodded. We walked back to class and I immediately sat beside Chris. I put up a shield around us that would allow us to talk freely so that no one could hear. "I think I just found my mate. It's Rosalie, I knew I liked her but once I saw her again it was like a huge weight was lifted of my shoulders and I feel this pull to her. Should I tell her?"

Chris looked at me then at Rose, "Yeah, but she probably feels it too. Will she be joining us for lunch?" I nodded. We talked about what would happen now that Rose knew that I was still alive. Lunch came quickly and I was very excited. I couldn't wait to see Rose again. I sat down at the table in the back with my back to the door. Chris sat across from me. I could smell them the moment they all walked in. Chris and I slipped on our sunglasses before walking out the door. We sat on the benches and waited for Rose to come outside.

"Isabella Brandon? That's what you're going by now?" I smiled at her. "It was the only name I could think of that I liked. This is Christian. He is my brother in all except blood and he is also my best friend." She smiled at him they began a conversation and I just sat there thinking about how to tell her.

"Tell me what?" I looked up at her confused. Did I say that out loud? I looked to Chris who just shook his head. "Oh my god. You can read my mind." Rose looked at me confused. I thought in my mind about telling her she was my mate just to see if she would see or hear it. "I already know that I'm your mate.I knew all those years ago but you were with Edward and happy. I didn't want to mess that up for you. I was mean to you so that I wouldn't get too attached to you. I sorry, but please don't doubt that I ever loved you. I wanted to stay after your birthday but Edward convinced Carlisle that it was for your own good and as your mate he had the right to decide that."

I stood and walked over to her. I pulled her into a hug, "I love you too Rose. Even when I was with Edward on some subconscious level I knew that I was in love with you. I know what he said to you and the others about leaving and don't worry, I don't blame you. He can be very convincing when he wants to be."

Suddenly I heard Edward in my head, Who is she talking to? They're new. Rose doesn't talk to new people. Maybe I should go see what they're talking about. He stood and started toward us.

"I have to leave but you should come over to our house. I'll text you the address. Also I'm going to do something before I leave, don't freak out okay?" I didn't wait for her answer before I pulled her into a searing kiss. I heard the catcalls from behind me and pulled away. I knew Edward was frozen at the door. "Bye love. Let's go Chris." We walked away and drove home I sent the text with my address as we got in the car.

I can't wait to see you. Come by tonight and hang out. I love you ;D
