Chapter 7
BPOV
I felt like I floating in the deep darkness of oblivion. My thoughts were full of flashing faces.
All I remembered was running and then someone calling my name. I had looked over, only to see e sets of familiar couldn't be them. I glanced over all their faces and I knew it was true when I finally saw those piercing green eyes looking back at me. Even from the distance I knew those eyes. No one else had those eyes, except him and his counterpart so I instantly knew that it was him. They were here, and I saw them. Though I do wish, I would have seen the huge oak tree. My head was throbbing. I soon noticed that a faint light was penetrating through the darkness, which I knew was light. I pushed towards the light, and felt my eyes flutter. I then felt a cool sensation lick across my face,as I fully and cautiously opened my eyes, gazing up only to be stared down upon by 6 curious faces.

5 minutes earlier...
We stood there for about 5 minutes and there was still no response from Bella.
"See Emmett?You and your loud voice. You probably killed her!" Jasper said in his slight southern accent.
"It's not my fault she crashed into a tree." Emmett said with a sheepish grin.
We were all anxious to see when she awoke, and we were getting impatient, until the little black pug came over and started licking her all over her face. Bella's eyes began to flutter, as the dog continued licking her face. I was worried about sanitary precautions but when Emmett picked up the dog, sure enough on the back of it's collar had her name it. This was truly Bella. Tanya walked over clearly agitated, and I knew she was about to start complaining.
"Can we go now?" she asked, not paying attention to Bella's unconscious form on the ground.
"Uh Tanya… we kinda have a situation here." Alice gestured to the ground.
"So, leave her there." Tanya sneered.
"She needs our help." Jasper said calmly.
"Like I care. Let some homeless person help her. She definitely looks like one." Tanya replied looking down at her nails, and that was all it took.
Before I could even blink, Alice had pinned Tanya to the ground.
"Don't you ever talk about my best friend like that again!" Alice screamed as Emmett and Jasper pulled her off. Tanya was just about to lunge towards her when Rosalie spoke up.
"Guys she's waking up."

"Bella?" Alice said, her eyes glistening.
"Alice?" my words slurred, as I sat up, my face throbbing all over. That's all it took, as she scrambled down, and pulled me into a bone crushing hug,sobbing.
"Oh Bella, I missed you so much!" Alice sobbed onto my shoulder.
"I miss you too." I whispered.
She playfully punched me in the arm. "You better not leave me like that again!"
" I wont." I looked into her tear stained eyes.
"Promise." Alice pouted her quivering lips.
"I Promise. Now can I get up?" I asked. She smiled sheepishly, before I pushed myself off the ground where I stumbled, only to be caught by Emmett.
"I see your still clumsy as ever!" Emmett boomed, pulling me into a bone-crushing hug.
"Em…can't breathe." I gasped, as he released me.
Jasper grinned sheepishly towards me as Rosalie just glared , when I mumbled a quick hi. I wondered what her problem was. My head pulsed with pain as I felt all the blood rush out of my head. I leaned forward, stumbling once more only to be caught in a gaze by a pair of pretty green eyes.
"Bella are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah. My head hurts, nothing new. At least this time there's someone here to actually catch me." I managed to get out.
"You sure?" he asked cautiously.
"Uh..yeah. I'm just a little dizzy.
"How about we drop you off at your place?" Alice asked, bouncing in place, her heels clicking against the concrete.
"Uh I'll be fine." I tried to walked off, only to be thrown across Emmett's shoulder.
"Emmett!" he just laughed.
"Ah come on Bella." he said through his fits of laughter.
"Wait Nessie." I breathed.
"Who's Nessie?" Edward asked.
"My dog." I slurred. Being upside down on Emmett's shoulder wasn't helping.
"Oh that little black fur ball. She's with Rose. Everyone piled around the jeep..
"Emmett you still have this thing?" I questioned looking at the familiar jeep that use to drive us around during our teenage days.
"Yep Rosie, upgraded it for me." Emmett said proudly as he kissed her cheek.
Standing there surprised as to what I just saw, I quickly averted my gaze. We were all just standing there in the parking lot, when I realized there was only 5 seats.
"Uh guys, there's 7 of us. How is this going to work?" I asked quizzically.
"Well, Emmett's driving, Rose's shotgun. I'm on Jasper's lap, Edward's in the middle since I refuse to sit next to Tanya." she smirked.
"Oh Tanya, I'm Bella." I said, reaching out my hand, as she just looked at it. I slowly put my hand back towards my side embarrassingly.
"Anyway, as I was saying... Edward's in the middle, and Tanya on the left of him. You can sit in Edward's lap." Alice grinned.
"Excuse me?" Tanya and I said at the same time.
"Why can't I get in the middle and sit on Edward's lap?" Tanya sneered.
"First, I don't like you. Second, I don't want you anywhere near me. Third, Bella's family. And fourth, if you got a problem, get out the car, and then Bella would have a seat." I could hear snickers from Jasper, Rose, and Emmett. I thought I actually heard a muffled laugh from Edward but maybe I was just hearing things.
"Why don't you just attach her to the roof." Tanya huffed annoyed.
"Why don't you just get in the trunk, your face is scaring all the birds away." Alice glared at her.
"Look I don't care. My head hurts and I just want to go home. Is that okay with you Edward?" I looked at him.
"Sure no problem." He responded, earning me a hateful glare from Tanya.
We all piled into the car, as I settled onto his lap. I could hear him take in a large huff of air, as I settled.
"Sorry" I blushed.
"No problem." He smirked at me.
I could feel his warm breath along my neck, and I knew that it was going to be a long ride.
We dropped Tanya off first at her place as I slid off Edward's lap onto the seat next to him. I could see that he looked somewhat saddened by the lost of contact.
"So where do you live?" Emmett asked, looking at me in the rear view mirror.
I quickly gave him the directions, and we soon arrived in front of my place.
They all stared wide eyed at me.
"What?" I asked.
"You live here?" Rosalie asked. I was surprised, she had actually spoken to me.
"Yeah I own the building." I said sheepishly.
"No way! We wanted to buy this place, but it was already sold. I wanna know how you managed to buy this place on such short notice? Alice said, awaiting my answer.
"I'll tell you later,its a long story. Do you want to come in?" I asked. They all nodded, except Rosalie who looked hesitant. I would have to talk to her later.
We passed my Aston Martin and Emmett blurted out "That's your car?" I nodded and Emmett boomed " Dude you have to let me drive your car. You can get some serious miles!"
"Em, you are not touching my baby." I said, as Emmett pouted. I couldn't help but laugh at his expression.
We all piled inside the living room, as I went upstairs to the bathroom to retrieve some aspirin from the medicine cabinet. I quickly threw on some sweat pants and a t-shirt, before I came back downstairs to see them all settled on the couch, and chairs looking around the at the scenery/
I went in the kitchen an opened a can of dog food for Nessie to eat while we talked. I made 6 glasses of lemonade before settling down on my beanbag chair that I had in the corner.
"So what do you wanna know?" I asked, and they all looked at me trying to figure which question to ask me.
"Edward was the first one to speak up?" his green eyes focused downward.
" Why did you lie to us about leaving?" he whispered, his gaze now focusing on mine.
I instantly knew it was going to be a long night.
