Is it really you

Away

(Bella point of view)

After they checked me out, I packed my bags and got on the next flight to Europe. After what happened to me, I didn't feel like staying in New York. I know Blake is used to this kind of lifestyle, but I'm not. I might be his twin sister, but I don't like being in a situation like that. Maybe if I was trained, but I'm not and I needed to leave New York as fast as I could. The ride home was about 8 hours. When I got to my apartment, Sky hugged me so tight that I couldn't breathe. Also, since I still have the bruises on me, the hugging made it worse.

"Please, Sky, don't hug me so tightly." I'm sorry, it's just that I haven't seen you in about 24 days. I missed you." "I missed you too." Just as I said that, I felt her staring at me. I totally forgot that I had bruises on my face. "What happened?" "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about." "Your face. Why is it covered in bruises? " "Look, I really don't feel like talking about it." "Tell me what happened now!" "Sky." "Bella Marie Johnson tell me this instant why your face is covered in bruises, and don't even think about lying to me." "Okay. I will tell you." So, I told her everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!

"OMG, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Do you blame Blake? " "No. He couldn't know I was going to be kidnapped, but I don't think I can live that lifestyle. Now I know why my mom left my dad." "I'm sorry, Bella." "Hey, how about we watch "King Kong?" "Okay." So, Sky and I sat down and watched "King Kong."

2 DAYS LATER

It has been two days since I came home. I started working again. My life was starting to go back to normal, but the thing was, it would never be normal again. I constantly have to put cream on my back because of my bruises. I keep having nightmares about Jacob, and I miss my dad and brother. I decided to go visit my mother today. I can't change the past, but hopefully I can change the future. I wanted my mother and I to get alone again.

"What are you doing here, Bella?" "Hi Mom, I don't like the way things are between us. So, do you think we can fix our relationship? " "Of course, please come in." My mother and I sat down and talked for hours trying to fix our relationship. Sure, my mom never really supported me, but after talking to her, she had her reason. It turned out my mom really does care about me. We even told each other that we loved each other. Don't get me wrong. I love my mother, but I haven't told her in 5 years. I'm glad we got to fix our relationship.

"It's getting pretty late; I should probably get going." "Why won't you stay here? It's super late outside and I don't want you driving this late." "Okay." I went upstairs and slept in the guest bedroom.

THE NEXT DAY

When I woke up, I smelt something cooking, so I went down stairs. When I went downstairs, I saw my mom cooking breakfast. "Wow, and here I thought you couldn't cook." "Look, just because I have a butler doesn't mean I don't know how to cook. Would you like something to eat? " "Sure." "Get a plate." Once I got my plate and put the food on it, I went to the table and started eating. "Wow, I'm impressed. You can cook." "Told you." It was fun eating breakfast with my mom. I actually had a good time. "Thanks mom, I should probably get back home." "Okay. Bye, Bella." "Bye, mom."

The drive back to the house was long. There was so much traffic. When I got home, I took a shower and hoped in bed watching Netflix, until I heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw "Blake."
