"What about this one Belly?" Jasmines voice rang out as she emerged from her wardrobe, wearing a different outfit.

"Jasmine the last five outfits were fine, I don't see why you have to dress up just because the Cullens are coming over soon" My voice cracked a little bit as I said their name.

Jasmines angel like laugh filled the room as she spun around in front of her full length mirror, "You know what they say Belly, dress to impress"

I rolled my eyes as I lay back down on her bed as she skipped over to her vanity to redo her hair, again. I was mentally preparing myself to face the Cullens and knowing that I couldn't just leave if I wanted to, they were going to be here, in my house, near my family, near me.

I groaned in frustration as I imagined the worse case scenarios. Either Damian getting all over protective and throwing a punch, or me losing my temper and throwing a punch, which would probably end up in a huge fight.

My ears zoned in as I heard the crunch of gravel as two cars came driving up our driveway. Jasmines window was open and the now familiar scents floated in; The Cullens had arrived.

"Their here" Jasmine whispered into my ear, before running over and peaking through her curtains, "Nice cars" she murmured before skipping back over and sitting by my side.

"Are you ready Belly?" she asked as she gently ran her hand up and down my arm soothingly.

I could feel the protective wall around my heart burn in several places as I anticipated what was to come. "Give me a minute" I murmured as I squeezed my eyes shut tight.

"As long as you need Bella, but remember your strong, you can do this" She whispered encouragely as she continued rubbing my arm in her loving, sisterly way.

I listened hard as I heard the car doors slam shut, I could just barely make out their light footsteps on the concrete as they made their way to our front door. I heard Damian growl softly bellow, before he and Stephan headed towards the front door.

Three quick knocks sounded on our wooden door, before Damian swiftly opened it. I could hear murmurs of greetings before they all entered and the front door shut, they all headed towards our living room.

"Jasmine? Bella?" Damians voice echoed in the now silent house.

Jasmine nudged me gently in the side before motioning towards the door. I nodded in understanding, before fluidly sliding off the bed and onto my feet.

Jasmine led the way as she exited her bedroom and headed down the hall and down the stairs. I followed just as silently, mimicking her human pace. Jasmine threw me back an encouraging smile before entering the living room. I took a deep, unneeded gulp of air before following her.

As I entered I could feel the tension in the air rise ten fold. The whole Cullen family were here and all of them were staring intently at me. Esme looked the same, but of course she would, but her eyes were dimmer then I remember them as. Her face was openly shocked, yet happy at the same time. Carlisles looked shocked but happy as well, his warm golden eyes focused on me as I neared them, still walking human speed.

I quickly scanned the room and noticed there was only a few seats left. One next to Stephan which Jasmine quickly sat down in, one next to Damian and lastly one in between Alice and Edward. Of course I choose to sit next to Damian, there was no way the Cullens were getting into my personal bubble.

Damian obviously noticed my rigid posture, because as I sat down he carefully grabbed my hand and gently uncurled my clenched fist. He gave my hand an encouraging squeeze before rubbing soothing circles in my palm with his thumb. I heard a nearly inaudible growl come from Edwards direction, but I ignored it as I focused my eyes down on the cream, fluffy, very interesting carpet.

The air was thick with tension, not a sound could be heard, I bet if a pin was dropped we would hear it.

"Well, this is awkward" My lip twitched in amusement, trust Jasmine to break the silence first, she couldn't go a full five minutes without talking.

"Yes your right, maybe we should discuss the matter at hand" Carlisle spoke softly in his one-of-a-kind fatherly tone. I felt my heart brake even more in the way he addressed us, as if we were old friends.

"Yea ok, where should we start?" Stephan asked as he shifted closed to his mate.

"Bella?" Carlisle asked in a warm, soft tone, ripping my heart apart even further.

"Maybe we should start at how you were changed?" His voice sounded pained, but of course it would, he probably thought he would never have to see me again, but no here I am, causing more trouble for his family.

Slowly I looked up from the carpet and met his eyes. They were a warm honey colour, a soft golden, full of unspoken questions. I grimaced as I remember my change and the pain I went through. Damian noticed my pain, as he quickly lent in and softly murmured reassuring words into my ear. Giving his hand one last squeeze I took a deep unneeded breathe and began reliving my most 2nd worst night of my life.

"Four months after….after you left" My voice broke as I explained. Returning my gaze to the carpet I continued.

"I was stupid, careless, I went into the woods behind my house. I knew better, I knew I shouldn't have gone, especially since I knew what could be awaiting me in the dark" I paused as I shuddered as the events came buzzing back to me. "Victoria" I whispered, several growls erupted within the room.

"What do you mean Bella?" Alice shrieked, "You said you knew what could have been there, how could you of possibly known Victoria" she snarled her name, "could of been there?"

I squeezed my eyes shut as my graphic memories, which haunted me, came flowing back.

"Because Laurent said she was looking for me" I murmured while clutching Damians hand tighter.

"LAURENT?" Edward roared while jumping to his feet, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN LAURENT TOLD YOU?" He growled as he took several quick steps closer to me.

Damian was up in a flash, standing as a barrier between me and Edward. Growls were rippling from deep within his chest as Edward came closer.

"Back off" He spat in a deadly whisper, "You are not to touch, or come near her"

Edward snarled in response as he went to side step him to get closer to me. Damian easily stepped to the side to block his path once more. "I told you to stay away from her" Damians voice was dripping with venom.

I hadn't noticed but everyone apart from me was standing now, Carlisle had a restraining hand on Edward's shoulder while Stephan stood next to Damian with Jasmine slightly behind.

But then it all happened at once.

I watched as Edward let out a furious snarl and saw as his arm's muscle tensed slightly, indicating in one fifth of a second he was going to throw a punch, right at my family, right at Damian.

I leaped to my feet and quickly side stepped around Damian, I watched in horror as Edwards arm came flying forward, focusing all my power into my legs I pounced forward, my hand flying out and grabbing Edwards wrist, which was inches from Damians face.

The room fell silent as I tightened my grip on his wrist, while stepping in between him and Damian.

"What. Do. You. Think. Your. Doing?" My voice was deadly as I stared with complete hatred at the guy who had just tried to harm a member of my family.

"Bella…" He croaked out as he stared at me, wide eyed.

"WELL?" I screamed as I used my free hand to hit the curve behind his elbow, pinching his nerves and causing him to fall to the ground on his knees from the force.

"NOBODY, I MEAN NOBODY! EVER HURTS MY FAMILY, THEY MEAN MORE TO ME THEN MY OWN LIFE, YOU WILL NEVER TOUCH THEM, UNDERSTAND?" I screamed while increasing my pressure on his arm.

Edward just stared at me, his face was stuck in the same shocked expression as his eyes bore into mine.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" I screamed as seconds went by without a response.

Many different emotions flicked through his eyes before he muttered out a quiet 'yes'.

I felt Damians arms wrap around my waist as he gently pulled me back, "Let go Bella" He whispered into my ear, making me release the death grip I had on Edwards arm. Emmet and Jasper quickly came forward and forced Edward back with them, pushing him hard down on the couch, they each took a seat on either side of him, both with matching expressions of surprise.

"I am extremely sorry for his behaviour, he is not normally like this. Please Bella, can we please continue with this discussion, we will reframe from interrupting, we truly do want to help" Carlisle voice was full of disapproval as he frowned at his son.

Damian pulled me back down onto the couch with him, keeping his arm securely around my waist.

Carlisle looked back at me, his eyes softening immediately as he encouraged me to continue.

"Bella, the faster you tell them, the faster this is over with, and then the faster they can leave and then we can finally go shopping" Why does Jasmine love shopping so much? I'm sure she and Alice would get along quite well if she didn't hate their whole family.

"Go on Bella" Damian whispered while pulling me slightly closer.

Pushing my anger down I took another breath as I carried on. "Another time I was in the woods a few weeks prior to my change, I came across Laurent. He told me Victoria was looking for me, wanting revenge for the death of her mate, James" I paused as multiple gasps filled the air.

"He himself tried to kill me, as he was hunting at the time. But the wolves killed him first"

"Wolves?" It was Rosalie who interrupted me this time. "Yes Wolves" I answered while looking at her, "My best friend Jacob Black was a werewolf, he saved me then, but didn't get to me in time when Victoria attacked me" Rosalie's eyes widened in disbelief and pity as I explained to her.

"Anyways when I went into the forest the night of my change. I don't know why I went in, because I knew Victoria would be there, but I did, I had just had enough" I could hear Alice whimper as I carried on.

"Victoria attacked me, she wanted her revenge and she wanted it to be painful. I have forgotten a lot of my human life, but I can clearly remember this night and the pain. She broke every bone in my body before she bent down to suck me dry" I stopped as the horrific memories came back, "That's when Damian came and pulled her off me, Stephan and Jasmine took care of her while Damian carried me back to the house they were staying at" I paused again to smile at my family, "And then bang, three days of scorching pain, then I'm a vampire. They were vegetarians as well and I have been with them ever since, I have always wished that I wasn't changed, that I had just died. But if I had the chance to go back and change the past I wouldn't, I don't regret it, in a way Victoria saved me, she gave me a loving family and a reason to live"

Damian pulled me closer for a second in a side hug, while Jasmine and Stephan smiled warm smiles in my direction.

"Bella, we don't know what we can say to tell you how sorry we are" Carlisle voice was sincere and hurt.

I closed my eyes as I looked away from him, pushing all my memories back into a vault. I opened my now hardened eyes and met his gaze.

"Carlisle, theres nothing you can say"

So whatcha think? I'm sorry to leave it their but I'm tired and wanna go to bed. I'll update soonish I hope.

Anyways heaps of people have been asking to change this so that Bella ends up with Damian instead of Edward. Well I wanna know what you people think, cause I'm kinda torn, I don't mind to do either but I would love ya faces opinions.

So either BellaXEdward or BellaXDamian ?

Well apart from that, please REVIEW!! : )
