Where The -

Edward POV

"God, Dove, where the hell you been!?" I whisper-shouted, squeezing Dove tightly to me. When I pulled away, she was smiling sweetly, and whipping her yellow tears away. Yellow. Wow.

"I've been in Las Vegas, Nevada all this time." She spoke, like she was shy of it.

"Why have you been there? I thought someone took you, on our travel to Washington!" I started to shout shaking her shoulders roughly.

"Edward! Please don't!" Dove cried out, cowering away from me, behind the couch. She bent down, crossing her arms over the back of the couch, placing her head in the cross of her arms. Her tears changed from yellow to blue, and her sobs were heartbreaking.

What have I done, I didn't hurt her that much did I? I was just trying to get her to understand that I was worried sick about her.

"Dove? What's wrong, did I do something?" I asked softly, moving to her side, reaching out to touch her arm. She flinched back violently, and ran to the other side of the room, hugging herself.

"Do-don't touch m-me please." She whimpered, and pressed her back against the wall, skidding down, and wrapping her arms around her legs, and slowly rocking back and forth, whipping her head side to side, as if checking to see if someone is going to attack her.

"Bro. Her emotions are wack." Jasper spoke softly. "Apparently my help isn't helping enough. Her emotions feel to strong for me to handle. There's pain, anger, embarrassment, and fright. It feels like I'm gonna drop."

"Hey sweetie." Esme spoke gently, and approached my sister, slowly lowering herself to the floor next to her. Dove didn't move an inch when Esme gently wrapped her arm around her shoulders, and pulled her softly into her side. As a matter of fact, it looked like Dove melted right her arms, and lay her head on Esme's shoulder.

"Dove, what happened to you?" I asked. Dove looked up and it seemed her eyes just cleared up, and looked calm again.

"I didn't have many trusting people since I couldn't find you all those years ago. I had three boyfriends throughout the years, and none were very kind to me." Her voice cracked, but she kept calm. "I was badly bruised and beat to a pulp by each of them."

My temper shot up. What kind of lowlife would do such a thing to a woman? I growled deeply, and my eyes flashed, I saw blood.

"Don't Edward. Their dead." She gave a small evil smile, and stood up, crossing the room to the couch, sat down, crossed her legs, and continued smiling.

"So." She spoke nonchalantly. "That's my story for all these years. How are you all? Anybody have something to say whatsoever?" She smiled brightly, and leaned back in her seat, picking at her nails.

Bella POV

I heaved a sigh, and wrung my hands, standing from one foot to the other.

"I- umm..." I stopped speaking looking for the right words.

"Guys. I'm really so-" I was cut off my Edward.

"Don't say it Bella. You have nothing to be sorry for.  Whatever you've done is all my fault. I moved you to do-" Edward was then cut off by Rosalie, jumping in the conversation.

"No. Edward you didn't push her do crap. I did. I drove her to wanting to jump off that damn cliff. It's all my fault. That's why she's like this now!" Rosalie shouted waving her hand at me in a, 'look-at-that' gesture.

"Hey!" Dove jumped in, "what's so bad with looking like that?"

Then the whole family joined in arguing about this and that, and some things that weren't even close to this conversation. I got irritated, stomped my foot, and shouted.

"ENOUGH!" I exhaled loudly, and inhaled quietly. The chaos immediately stopped.

"Thank you." I gave praise, "now, as for what I was saying-" I gave a pointed look around the room to everyone, narrowing my eyes slightly.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry, for taking my anger out on y'all, running away for long amounts of time, having you all worrying about where I am, or what I'm doing. I'm sorry. I choose some stupid choices, and didn't think twice about any of them or you. I'm sorry." I finished my speech, hung my head, and plopped onto the couch, crossing my arms.

The room was silent for about five minutes, until I heard a stamped, and saw seven stone hard vampires charging after me. My eyes widened, and the air was knocked out of me, when I felt one giant stone hard body pick me up, and squeeze me.

"Okay Emmett. Y-you can let me down n-now." I breathed patting his shoulder awkwardly looking for some fresh air, to expand my lungs.

"Sorry about that jelly-belly." He boomed, dropping me back onto the couch. I smiled widely, and hugged my family, as well as Dove.

This family used to be of seven, then I came along, and changed their whole lives forever, and then Dove just so happened to pop in, and now we're the Nincompoop nines.
