Chapter 13

Helen got dressed and Edward made her an omelet. After breakfast they went snorkeling in the afternoon they went hiking then after dinner they headed back to the mainland they arrived at Twilight and went to the airport and caught a private plane back home.

Helen said "we'll have to come back to Rio another time it looks like it would be a lot of fun."

Edward said "there is so much of this world that I can show you."

Helen said "but first we have to clean up this mess with Bella right."

Edward said "yes you can't go on pretending to be each other. It will only make things more complicated. Have you called her yet?"

Helen said "I texted her and told her we are coming home. I didn't go into detail as to why but I'm sure she can guess."

Helen slept most of the way she was wide awake for the drive from Seattle to Forks. She called Bella on their way home so she could meet them at the Cullen's home.

Helen was surprised to see Charlie's cruiser outside the Cullen's home.

Edward parked and Helen waited for him to open the door for her something Bella rarely did.

Helen looked up at him and said "No one said anything about telling Charlie."

Edward put his arm around her and said "Charlie and Renee both have to know what the two of you did. You never know he might find it funny."

Helen sighed and said "I doubt it. I'm surprised you are taking it so well. The girl you love change her mind about marrying you and I took her place."

Edward said "just because I can control my emotions doesn't mean I'm not upset about what happened."

They went inside Helen was surprised to see not only Charlie but Renee and Phil too.

Helen looked at Bella who was sitting next to Charlie and said "You could have warned me that everyone was going to be here."

Bella said "switching places was your idea remember."

Helen said "it seemed like the right decision at the time."

Renee asked "how long did you think switching would last."

Helen said "I expected to be found out right away when that didn't happen I thought it would happen when Edward kissed me when that didn't happen I expected it at any time. But it wasn't until yesterday that Edward figured out who I was."

Charlie asked "so what do we do now?"

Helen asked "Bella are you still sure you don't want to marry Edward?"

Bella said "I'm not ready to marry anyone. Agreeing to marry Edward was a mistake. Our relationship is over."

Edward said "we will get the marriage annulled it will be fast and easy and only the families and close friends will have to know about it."

Bella said "I think that is best for everyone involved."

Helen looked at Edward and said "for what it is worth I liked being married to you even if it only lasted one day."

Edward said "someday you will marry someone you are in love with and not just because you are trying to get your sister out of a bind."

Both girls went home with Charlie Alice brought Bella's clothes over.

Alice was helping put the clothes in the girls small closet and shared dresser Helen asked "Are you going to call Jacob now that everyone knows about us."

Bella said "I want to hear about where Edward took you."

Helen said "it was beautiful Bella. It was a tropical island off of the coast of Rio. It is called Isle Esme. We went snorkeling and hiking and if we had more time I'm sure we would have done all of the touristy things in Rio but Edward felt we should get back right away. He promised to take me on a vacation some time something more suited towards me. I told him I would like to see Vienna it is so full of music."

Alice asked "did you tell Edward that you love him."

Helen smiled and said "Edward is in love with Bella and probably always will be."

Alice said "I still see Bella or at least someone who looks like Bella immortal and not significantly older than the two of you are right now. Weather Bella and Edward are or are not married doesn't change the fact that the Volturi will require Bella to become immortal."

Bella said "I don't want to become immortal anymore that should change what you see shouldn't it."

Alice said "it should but it hasn't."

Helen said "unless of course it hasn't been Bella you have been seeing all of this time. We are identical after all. Of course that would indicated Edward and I would become romantically involved. I like Edward very much and now that you aren't with him Bella I wouldn't mind starting a relationship with him. But would he be interested in me? Us switching on him like we did really hurt him I think. He doesn't show his pain much but I think he is really hurting."

Alice said "I know Edward well and I believe you are right he is hurting but if you give him enough time he might be able to love again."

Bella said "Edward is a vampire he has all the time in the world to get over his pain but Helen is human she gets older everyday."

Helen said "I'm not obsessed with age like you are Bella it doesn't matter to me if I'm a few years older then Edward. In fact I have no interest in becoming immortal at all."

Alice said "The person I have seen doesn't look any older then you are now. So which ever one of you becomes immortal it will be sometime soon."

There was a knock on the girls bedroom door Helen opened the door to reveal Jacob.

He looked at the girls he said "Your dad told my dad what happened."

Bella said "you should hate me for hurting you like I did."

Helen said "Alice and I are going to give you some privacy so the two of you can talk."

Helen grabbed her violin then took hold of Alice's hand and said "Lets go to your house I'll play for Esme I have written a new song I think she will like it."

Alice and Helen left.

Helen did play for Esme when she was done she sat on the sofa next to Edward.

He said "it was very nice."

Helen smiled and said "I'm glad you liked it I wrote it for you. Edward what are you going to do now?"

He asked "you mean once I annule the marriage?"

Helen said "Yes. Bella and Jacob are going to get together. I don't know what that means for Bella's future currently. I have to repeat my senior year. Renee wants me to move to Jacksonville but I think I want to stay in Forks. I was wondering if you might be going away to college or something. I don't know if she has told you but Alice still has visions of one of us becoming like you and we aren't much older then we are now. I don't know what that means but if she sees it doesn't that mean it is decided."

Edward said "I think I am going to go away to college I need a change of scenery I need to get some distance."

Helen asked "will the family go away too or is it just you this time?"

Esme said "we aren't ready to move yet."

Alice said "you won't lose us this time. I'm waiting on you to go to school."

Helen smiled and said "thanks Alice you don't have to do that."

Alice said "one more year is nothing. I have to stick around to see this vision through. I'm just as curious about it as you are."

Bella got a job she was planning on waiting for Jacob to finish school then the two of them would go to Washington State.
