I don’t do tagging because it spikes my anxiety, but I do tag this on her own * if you want to track it. If you read it and like it please let me know, I live off words my dudes Words: 1216 Previous Chapters: Ch. 1 Ch. 2 Ch. 3 Ch. 4 Ch. 5 Ch. 6 Ch.7 Ch. 8 Ch.9

“Love, you have to come out of your room. You haven’t hunted since we’ve been home, and I know you’ve been using your sick days.” Edward knocked on Bella’s door trying to get her to come out

“No, I don’t want to” Bella spoke from under her covers she knew Edward was upset and worried and that he just wanted her to come out of her depression cave but she was not having it. She’d been in her room since they got back; she knew Edward filled the family in on the weeding. They had all taken turns over the week trying to lure her out of her room, but she refused.

The only person she had let in was Esme; Esme had just held her while she cried herself to sleep. She wasn’t even sure why she was crying Esme had just hugged her and felt herself start to sob. Esme hadn’t said anything, just soothed the young vampire and tucked her in kissing her head, promising that everyone would be there for her when she was ready. She didn’t mean to isolate herself, but she couldn’t even begin to explain what was going on. And she knew that that’d want to know what was going on with her simply so they could help.

She knew Jasper could feel her despair and abandonment but he didn’t know the reasons behind them. And Edward couldn’t sort through her mind, so it just left her to sort them out herself. She knew Edward was still at her door, but if she was going to come out of her room she had to figure out what her issue was. Bella knew she wouldn’t be able to do that with him outside her door.

Her voice was soft and sad as she spoke, “Edward I just need to be alone right now, But I promise once I’m ready to come out, Ill let you know.” Bella heard his steps go away and she sighed as she opened her journal, and found her favorite pen. When she was human this is how she dealt when she wasn’t sure what she was feeling, her boxes of journals lived in the drawer of her desk. She couldn’t bare to part with them, and she knew that over her long life she’d fill more up. She shook her head trying to focus on the issue at hand.

“Edward calm down. You know she’ll come out when she’s ready” Esme spoke gently but firmly

“But Mom! It’s been a week.” Esme rolled her eyes, “Please, remember that one time you told me I wasn’t your real mom when we got in an argument and we didn’t see you for a month?”

Edward stuttered as Alice spoke, “It’ll be fine Edward, she’s just got some things to figure out. She’ll come out when she’s ready.”

Carlisle nodded from his place next to Esme, “ The wedding was a lot for her emotionally. And we’ve talked about how intense Bella feels things. Give her time.”

Rosalie spoke up, “I want her back with us normally just like you Edward. But you can’t push her Honestly your mopping is worse than hers, at least she keeps in her room. We all have to deal with your bullshit.” Esme shot her a look, and Rosalie muttered a soft apology.

Edward groaned, “I just want to help her, why won’t she let me?”

Emmett shook his head, “I get it man, and you want to be there for your mate. But sometimes they gotta do shi-stuff by themselves. Like we all know Rose would’ve loved to help me kill the bear that did me in, but a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.”

The family was so enthralled they didn’t hear Bella until she was in the room in one of Edward’s big sweaters, his height making it appear to be a dress, and a fair of fuzzy socks.

“I’m sorry” She spoke softly while looking down at her socks, “I know hiding in my room isn’t the best practice.” She was in Edward’s arms before she could continue, she quickly hopped up wrapping her legs around his waist and burying her face in his neck. She had missed him, and his scent.

“Shh love it’s okay, I just missed you. You don’t have to tell us what’s wrong if you’re not ready.” Edward told her his family nodding in agreement.

Bella shook her head defiantly, “No. You’re my family now and I want to tell you.”

She spoke quietly, “If you want to hear it?”

Esme was by her head in an instant stroking her head, “Oh sweetie of course we want to hear it.”

Edward lead her over the couch where he sat down, he had excepted her to shift over to the side of him, but she just turned around slightly so she could see her family.

“When I first got changed I kind of did the same thing I had this week, I basically just found a corner of the woods and curled up there and cried for a month. I was mourning the loss of my human life a little bit, but mostly I was mourning my dad. I never really figured my mom wouldn’t at least try to reach out and contact me.” Her voice wavered and Jasper tried to send her some strength.

“But obviously she didn’t contact me, for 10 years. And then finally did and it was basically to tell me that she was moving on with her life, and that it didn’t matter what I was doing. She was starting a new family, and when I was there it was kind of okay I got to see some of my old friends, and I know that my childhood home is going to be home to a lovely family.” Her bottom lip quivered, “But at the end when I said goodbye to my mom it was actually goodbye forever. She didn’t mention me coming to visit or having me part of her new life. I was on my own again.” Alice came up and hugged her.

“And I didn’t have a mom anymore, and it hurt. For the most part I was just sad and upset and I didn’t want to see anyone. Because I needed to. I needed to mourn the loss of my family and the person and I was before.”

Alice spoke up, “But you’re not alone anymore Bella, you know that right?”

Bella nodded, “I do now. I was actually wondering, if like officially you would accept me as part of your family?” She asked timidly looking at Carlisle and Esme knowing they were the ones that ran the family.

Carlisle chuckled, “Bella you’ve been part of our family since Esme saw you in the book store, I’d be so happy to have you as part of our family.”

Esme kissed Bella’s head, “Of course you’re our daughter.”

Bella sighed and hugged Esme whispering a soft Mom while Esme beamed

Emmett hugged her next, “Welcome to the family little sister! I can’t wait to get into heaps into trouble with you”

Edward kissed her deeply, “Don’t worry love you’re part of our family and you’ll never have to be on your own again.

Thank-you.

I still can’t believe this.

I’m posting the epilgoue for We Are Young tonight or tomorrow morning. I still can’t wrap my head around it. I’ve been working on this fic for 3 months now. And just like that, it’s over. I can’t understand it...

But, before I post one last time for this fic, I have some things I would like to say.

Be warned, sappy post ahead.

If I could, I’d tag each and every one of you who have ever reblogged, liked, replied to this story. But I can’t, I don’t want to leave anyone out. But I have to give you all a shout out. Because without you guys, there wouldn’t be a story. I would have stopped writing this fic long ago. I did stop writing. I stopped for almost 2 years because it felt pointless. It’s because of this fandom and all you amazingly beautiful people that I picked up writing again. So thank you. For always being there for me. for sticking with this story. For making me laugh and cry as I read your comments. Some of you write comments/messages just as long as the chapters sometimes, and that blows my mind. Seeing how much you all love this story, how much it’s touched you, helped you, made you laugh or smile when you're having a rough day, this all I ever wanted. I pour my heart and soul into every chapter I write, and seeing your love for Lysaedion or Malide, seeing you freak out over Rowaelin, makes it all worth it. Just know, how much you guys mean to me. All of you. You guys have been my rocks, my support system, my cheerleaders. And I’ll never be able to thank you all enough for that.

There are a few people I have to tag, however.

I have to thank the leaders of the Lysaedion Shower Sex Revolution: @miladyaelin @snaps7 @throneofstars @bottomsabrina @ilikebigbooks-and-icannotlie @@fictionalcharactersaremyreality . Because of you, the Lysaedion Shower Sex chapter actually saw the light of day. But most importantly, you guys pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow as a writer. Thank you for that.

Special thank you to my fav Greek @christina-dh for always making my laugh and cry with her commentary, every time I post a new chapter. The list of kinks, revolutions and hc’s she has right now is probably a mile long.

@miladyaelin thank you for stepping in when I needed a last minute edit and Ana couldn't do it. You were one of the first blogs I followed when I joined this fandom and it warms my heart so much to know how close we have gotten. And while I’m thank you, I also have to thank our Square group. @shortie-stories , Ana, Becca. Thank you guys for keeping me sane through this whole writing process. Thank you for alway being there for me. For all the laughs. For making me read PJO. Just, thank you. I think we make a pretty good Aelin, Manon, Elide and Nesryn ;) (yes, I went back through our messages LOL)

And I just had to save this one for last.

@ilikebigbooks-and-icannotlie where do I even start?

Thank you for editing each and every one of this chapters. Thank you for helping me make them as good as they possibly could be. Thank you for helping me grow as a writer. Thank you for having my back, for being my friend and sister. Thank you for putting up with my crappy grammar. Thank you for always pushing and pushing me. I will forever be grateful for the hate I got on GML, because it brought me you, Ana. You have always been there for me. From texting all day about ACOWAR, to “making” me call in sick to work to write, to talking for hours on the phone about nothing and everything. There is so much I want to thank you for, but this post is already getting so long. But just know that I really and truly am grateful for everything you do for me. Someday, I will buy that ticket to Boston to see you.

This story... it holds a special place in my heart. For years I’ve wanted to write a figure skating story, but it never felt right. Now, after seeing all the love and support you guys have for WAY, I know for sure, this was the right time.

We Are Young would be nothing without each and everyone one of you. You guys are the reason this story has made it to the end. Even when I felt like I wouldn’t get here, I just looked at all the comments and love WAY got and it made me work harder. You guys made everything worth it.

You guys made this story what it was. You guys pushed me to rattle the stars.

So, all I have to say is thank you.

#thank you #each and every one of you #from the bottom of my heart #personal
