Bella's P.O.V
I woke up feeling drowsy and somehow happy, the first time in years. Esme was sitting next to me, holding my hand. A guy with bronze hair was also sitting on the couch, and boy, he looked scary. I looked up at Esme for help.
"Help..." I whispered hoarsely.
"What's the matter?" she asked me.
"Scared," I shivered and huddled under the covers, even though my ribs protested.
"Aww, sweetie, don't be scared," she assured me. "This is Edward. Say hi to him."
I edged up from under the covers. "Hi."
"Ah, Bella. You're awake," Daddy walked in with a wheelchair. "Time for you to go home."

I nodded, smiling. But then I remembered that Edward was probably coming with us and my smile faded. Esme helped Daddy lift me up gently and put me in the wheelchair.
"Well, I have to stay at work," Daddy kissed my forehead. "But I'll see you this evening."
"Bye, Daddy," I waved at him. He chuckled and Esme pushed me out of the room and into the car. Sadly, Edward came too.

"Edward's gonna sit with you, okay?" Esme carefully lifted me into the car. "We'll be home in 5 minutes."
"Don't be scared of me," Edward smiled at me kindly. "I won't hurt you."
For some reason, I believed him.
"Promise?" I asked childishly.
"Promise," he grinned at me.
Soon, we were home. I mean, at Esme's house. But I guess it was mine now. Looking out, I saw... about 4 GIGANTIC people standing at the door waiting for me. I gasped and backed up until I walked into Esme.
"What's the matter?" Esme asked, concerned.
"S-s-scared."
"Don't be scared, darling. They're all your family now. Say hi to them, sweetie."
"H-h-hi," I stuttered.
"Hi Bella, I'm Rosalie. You can call me Rose," an extremely pretty woman said, stepping forward.
"Hi," I squeaked.
"I'm Alice!" squealed another woman, waving at me manically. She was short with short black hair. I giggled.
"Hey squirt. I'm Emmett," this HUGE guy boomed. He had black hair and rippling muscles. I gasped and ducked back behind Esme. Emmett looked disappointed.

Suddenly I felt calm. Weird. So I, for some reason, walked out from behind Esme's legs.
"Hello, Bella. I'm Jasper," another guy with blonde hair smiled at me.
I squealed and hid behind Esme again. She sighed.
"I think that's everyone. Let's go inside!" she said cheerfully. I nodded, shivering.
"You're shivering. Why?" Rosalie asked me kindly.
"C-cold," I stuttered.
"Let's get you warmed up, then," Alice grinned at me.

Once inside, I started to warm up to everyone, apart from the two big buff dudes. Alice took me to the kitchen, where Esme and Rosalie were already waiting. It was HUGE. Almost as big as my old house.
"What do you want to eat, sweetie?" Esme asked me.
"Um.... Mac and Cheese?" I made it sound like a question.
"Of course!" Rosalie grabbed a packet of Mac and Cheese out of a cupboard.
"Now... how do we make this?" Alice stared at it.
I giggled, walking over to them. "It's easy. You just do what the instructions on the back say."
"Oh, do you cook, Bella?" Esme turned away from Alice and Rosalie.
"A little.. I wasn't allowed to eat at home."

They all gasped at that.
"Can I go look around?" I asked Esme.
"Of course, you don't have to ask. This is your house now, too," Esme replied.
"Can you go with me?" I blushed.
"Of course."
We walked to the living room, where there was a collection of well-upholstered chairs. And a TV that took up more than three-quarters of a wall. Then we climbed up the stairs, where there was a library with a TON of books. I thought that was my favourite rooms before I walked into another room with a white grand piano. Now THAT was my favourite room. I walked over to the glass wall and looked down. I squealed and jumped back.
"What's the matter?" this wasn't Esme's voice. It was Edward's.
"We're up... high."
"You're scared of heights?" he asked me. I nodded. Then Esme suddenly appeared in front of me. I jumped.

"Sorry for scaring you, sweetie. But your Mac and Cheese is ready," she told me, taking me in her arms. In a blink, we were in the kitchen.
"Woah... what?"
