Chapter 12-Time Bomb

The flight home was the longest time Edward and I had gone without speaking. He was confused, and I was mad but not at him. He didn't do anything wrong but he was the only one I could vent my anger out on. He kept glancing at me with a quizzical look. I stared out the window praying the flight would magically become shorter. We landed in the cloudy Port Angeles Airport and ware greeted by Carlisle and Esme. Esme ran to me and took me into her arms. Edward and Carlisle loaded the car with our luggage. No one said anything, at all. No 'welcome home', 'welcome back', not even a 'hello'. I slammed the door as I got into the back seat. Edward got in beside me. The drive went fast, thank goodness. Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett where all standing on the porch of the Cullen's home when we pulled up. Alice was at my side the moment I dragged myself out of the car. I just wanted to go inside and sleep, it had to be around four in the morning.

As I started for the stairs, when we got inside, Carlisle stopped me.

"Family meeting" I turned to face my family who were all staring at me. I wasn't in the mood to argue so I dragged my feet to the living room and plopped down on the couch. Edward tentatively sat next to me. Everyone else was looking at me with wary eyes. "We need to know what happened." Carlisle said soothingly. I looked at Edward, who took a deep breath and started retelling my transformation. 

"What did I do wrong?" Edward asked Carlisle, when he was finished. Carlisle didn't say anything. Edward read something in Carlisle mind and shook his head. 

"Bella, I am hoping I can figure out what…" Carlisle trailed off.

"Went wrong." I finished for him. 

"If I examine you I can hopefully find what we are all failing to see." 

"Like a lab rat." I said under my breath. I stood. "Okay fine." Carlisle smiled warm at me and left the room. 

"Man, Edward you must really suck in bed to screw up someone's transformation." Emmett broke the silence. Edward turned his head and looked as if he was seeing Emmett for the first time.
