Song: She is brighter~ The Mitch Hanson band

Bella POV

The plane landed smoothly and I gathered all of my on-flight bags and walked off of the plane. I quickly got all of my bags from the baggage carousel and walked out of the airport.

Charlie was on duty so I had to get a taxi to his house. I looked around trying to find a free cab, and after almost 20 minutes I was finally successful, spotting an empty cab just ahead of me. I sprinted to the cab as fast as I could and it didn't matter if I looked like an idiot running to a taxi with my bags flailing behind me; I was sick of letting elderly people and pregnant woman go before me, it seemed like they had all arrived at the same time as me.

When the taxi pulled up at the house I used to live when I was a kid, I handed him the correct amount of money and eagerly jumped out.

I stood on the front lawn just gazing at my childhood home; it looked exactly the same as I remembered, not having aged at all. Finally deciding that I was creeping myself and others out by looking like a pedophile I walked up to the door and lifted up the mat to see if Charlie still hid the key there, I was not disappointed. I furrowed my eyebrows; I'm going to have to find a new home for that hide-a-key so that the house doesn't get robbed.

I pushed the key into the key hole and slowly opened the door and gasped. The house was exactly as it was when I left; all the photos remained, furniture leaving dents in the floor from just sitting in the same place for years.

I walked towards the stairs. Lifting my leg up to step up on the first stair, I reached my arm onto the banister sweeping my fingers across the sleek wood.

I found my old bedroom. It truly amazed me that Charlie had kept everything the same, with the exception of a new double bed and a desk. I mentally thanked him, as there was no way that I would have been able to fit in my old bed.

Dropping my bags to the floor I plopped down onto my tidy bed. It was blue and brown; the blue quilt had thin brown lines that crossed over each other, it was simple but had a subtle look of beauty. I looked around my room gazing at all of my old paintings I did in pre-school. I saw one I didn't recognize. I wasn't a good painter but that was one hell of a picture, a picture that good could only be drawn by Edward. I slowly got up keeping my eyes trained on that painting.

I took measured steps towards it as if it was a danger to me. I finally reached it and looked at every inch if it. It was a picture of Edward and I holding hands in a meadow. The sky was dark with thousand of dots representing stars placed delicately above our heads. Below us on the grass was a sentence that read:

"Until the stars fall from the sky."

The picture was obviously drawn after he said those words, after I left. Tears were slowly welling up in my eyes and I needed to go for a walk; I needed to get out of here.

I walked down stairs and decide to go into the kitchen and leave a note for Charlie just in case he comes home to an empty house and worries about where I am.

I quickly scribbled a note telling him that I've put all of my things upstairs and I've gone for a wonder around the neighborhood.

Everything was green, the trees trunks, the rocks, and the ground. The color here was a lot different from the colors of Phoenix, where everything was brown; dead.

I found a beautiful park, where I could see children running around the play sets. I took at seat on a nearby bench, not really looking at the person sitting next to me.

I just sat there thinking about everything; about Charlie, the Cullen's, Edward and god knows what else. Everything just kept coming back to me, memories filling my head with thoughts and pictures of the life I used to have, the life I wanted to have again.

"Excuse me," a small voice said beside me.

I was broken out of my thoughts and memories by whoever had interrupted me. I looked around, trying to find the child that had spoken to me, but I didn't see any kids nearby. I began to slowly rise to my feet when I felt a tug on my arm. I look up and saw that the person next to me was the one that was tugging on my shirt. The girl beside me had dark brown shoulder length hair that was slightly tussled, almost spiky. Her facial features were soft and cute, like a little girls face. She stood up still holding my sleeve. She was really short, just a tad shorter than me; I just looked at her perplexed. Her mouth turned into the biggest smile I have ever seen... ever; it was slightly scary.

"Bella... Isabella Swan?" The voice from earlier asked.

I nodded slowly. Who was this girl and how did she know my name?

I looked down on my shirt to see if I had a name tag on. Nope. Well that doesn't answer my question.

"Um... not being rude but how do you know my name?"

"OH MY GOD!!" She squealed "Bella it's me Alice Cullen!" I tilted my head to the side. My head went all crazy. This was Alice, my little pixie, my friend, my sis-

I stopped my train of thought because I felt heavier.

Um how did I just gain weight by standing here?

I felt two arms slide around my neck and saw Alice hanging off of me.

Phew!

I smiled and finally wrapped my arms around her, hugging her back. I missed this so much.

She let go of me finally and started jumping on the spot talking so fast I couldn't understand her.

"Alice, calm down!" I laughed shaking my head.

Her eyes glazed over for a minute and she smiled, not as wide as her other smile.

"Bella how about you have dinner at my house tonight, I can't really talk right now because I have the neighbor's kids, but if you do come you can see everyone else!!"

Everyone else... does that include Edward?

"YES!!" she yelled!!

Oh crap, I so did not just say that out loud.

"Oh yes you did silly Bella" she giggled.

Fuck.

Dinner? Yes how can I say no to Alice or to Edward?

"Alice I don't see a point in you even asking, because there's no way in the world I would say no to you."

Her smile grew; it included a nice creepy eye look to compliment it.

Oh did I say that that look scared the shit out of me.

"Bella you shouldn't have said that" Her tone was eerie "Well you know where I live so be there at 6pm. Sharp."

With that she smiled and turned to gather the two kids. I stood there. Just...stood there...

Amazing!!

I just saw Alice Cullen on my first day back.
