Hey guys. Here's the next chapter. I will almost never update day on Tuesdays. That is when I have my figure skating lessons. I'm at the rink from 5:30 until 8:30, but this does give me a chance to work on the next chapter. Thank you LionessLibra, aurora517, Lovetta Dream, KickinitUp, MyZebraWillEatYou, Joan Jett, pinklady34, GabzR, and goldeneyes123 for reviewing.

I skated slowly off the ice, trying to prolong the inevitable. All the Cullens, except Alice, were staring at me at in shock. I knew Carlisle had the day off so I made the decision to have the conversation at their house; there was no need for me to repeat my story multiple times.

"I'll explain at your house." I told them in a whisper that only they could hear. We made our way to the dressing room and that was when I heard what Lauren was saying.

"You know, I once went up against Ellie Hart in a comp and I totally won." Three things, one no self-respecting figure skater calls a competition a "comp" No offense if you do! I'm just trying to make Lauren look bad.), two, the only way I went up against in a competition was when I first started skating and still went under Bella swan, not Ellie Hart. And three, why don't have the three but that just sounds better.

I continue to change and leave, choosing to ignore everything she was saying.

The ride to the mansion was quite, but it wasn't the tense, I hate you for not telling me kind of silence I was expecting. It was more of a comfortable silence with just a hint of hurt. I could tell they were giving me some space to get my thoughts together. Carlisle and Esme were waiting for us in the living room. By looks am I seconds parents faces the already knew what was going on. Both Esme and Carlisle had looks of pure shock on their faces, as the rest of the Cullen's still did.

"So, you're a figure skater?" Emmett said, breaking the silence that. I felt very sorry for Jasper who looked like he was about to explode.

"Yeah… I'm sure you've all heard of Ellie Hart and well, that's me." I said, the shock on their faces almost comical, it would have been if the situation was any different." I started skating when I was six, it was another one of Renée's phases. I was really dreading it, but to both of our surprise I didn't fall at all. I was doing great actually. I started private lessons with Jackie a couple of months later."

"Jackie as in our Coach Jackie?" Rosalie asked me.

"Yeah, she was the reason I made it as far as I did. She led me to being that close to the Olympics. I was less than 30 seconds away from having a spot in the Olympics. I just had to finish a jump sequence and do one spiral. I was going into it when one of my competitors dropped their skate bag on the metal bleachers. It caused a very loud, bang almost as if someone had shot a gun. Today was the first time I've skated since then." The tears were threatening to come again, but one way of joy from Jasper was all I needed to get back to normal." Not many people understand why I got so upset, but that was my whole life. I didn't want anyone here knowing because I didn't want any reminders. The day I fell was the day I stopped skating." The Cullen's were all staring at me with disbelief and shock on their faces.

"What did Jackie mean when she said Ellie would come when she's ready?" Edward asked.

"She knows how much it upset me when I fell that day. Today was also the first day I've talked to her since I was released from the hospital." I told them. The silence made it seem like I was deaf, the only noise my breathing and twitching, except for the occasional twitch the Cullen's made out of habit. I was about to say how sorry I was when the phone Edward had forced on my rang.

"Hello?" I asked out of habit more than anything else. The only people that have this number were the Cullens, my mom, and my dad. Not that Mike hadn't tried to get it.

"Hey Bells," my dad responded. "I haven't heard from you and I assumed that you would call me as soon as Jackie let you go. I hope you're not too mad at me for not telling, but I thought it might be good for you to skate again. You used to be so happy when you're on the ice or just talking about it." He was rambling out of nerves, something that I had never heard him do before.

"It's fine dad. I'm at the Cullen's house, none of them knew of my figure skating past and I had to explain to them. And I'm not mad at you, maybe a little peeved, but not mad. Thank you for remembering all my stuff. I would have figured and you wouldn't have put my guards, skates towel, or my skate jeans."

"Your mother made me a list to make sure I got everything. We didn't want you to be even madder than you would already be. I have to get back to work, but I'll talk to you later." I Said good-bye and then we hung up. When I turned back to the Cullen's I noticed that they had gotten over the initial shock of what I had told them.

"Is it true that Lauren beat you in a competition?" Rose asked me, disbelief playing on her face.

"Not that I can remember…" I told her, "and I never competed under the name Ellie Hart until I became elite. And what she showed us today proves that she is not, and hasn't ever been, an elite skater." When I said this last portion Edward, Alice, Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie all laughed while Esme and Carlisle gave us disapproving looks, but you could tell that they were also withholding laughter.

"What exactly happened when you fell? We only saw partial reports, nothing that depict what actually happened." Esme said, the laughter was now all gone and in its place was concerned and curiosity.

"When I fell I slammed my head into the edge of the rink, which caused bruising and stuff on my brain. And since we all know that with my luck that wouldn't be all, there was also a loose nail sticking out right were my head slammed. The nail was embedded into my brain. I was in surgery for a couple of hours, and afterwards I was in a medically induced coma for a week. When I woke up I decided never to skate again. I had my chance and I blew it." For once the tears were not brimming my eyes, but everyone else looked like they would cry if they were able to. "Its OK guys, if that never happened I would never have moved out here resulting in me ever meeting any of you all. Personally I would rather spend my life with you all than go to the Olympics for a couple of days. It's not like I didn't get the fame or anything. Which is actually something I could have done without." That was all it took for Edward to come to me and give me a hug. He whispered softly in my ear that he was sorry. But he didn't have anything to be sorry for.

"When do you plan on telling everyone else?" Jasper questioned.

"I think it's going to have to be sooner rather than later." I told him. "But since you all now know, do you want to go over to my house and actually see the evidence of my past for yourself?"

"Yes! Of course we do Bella! I can't wait to actually see your dresses on in person. Who chose those? It doesn't seem like your style are all! Not that you have one, that is." Alice said, smirking as I glared at her for the last sentence.

"I choose them, thank you very much."

Tell me what you think. I'd do it type this out, I used a voice dictation thing that there's any mistakes that I didn't catch I'm sorry. I had it all written on paper and I didn't feel like typing in all up. Right now, I'd don't really know where I'm going with this story. If you have any suggestions feel free to leave them in a review or PM me. I don't own anything. Thanks for reading.

Maegan bye!
