Chapter One: TV and Work

They fight. Paris falls.

This phrase had been bothering me all day. I was really hoping that it wouldn't come to this. Well, I was actually begging for the thought to be banished entirely.

Edward was out hunting with Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and Jasper. Now that Victoria was out there searching for me, Edward made sure that I was watched like a hawk. Emmet and Alice were currently on duty, and the three of us were watching TV at their house.

"How do humans do this so often," Emmet wondered," It's so boring."

"Some people like it," I replied. "They've got nothing better to do."

"But it's just so pointless," Emmet stated.

"She does have a point, Emmet," Alice decided. "Our lives are much more..." Alice's eyes looked away, she was having a vision.

"What is it Alice," Emmet asked. "Do you see me beating up any dogs soon?!"

"No Emmet," she sighed, "but you're going to have such an amazing evening." Just then, her phone rang. She whipped it too quickly for my eyes.

"Hello… yeah, hold on," she looked over to me," it's for you." I quickly took the phone from her cool hand.

"Hello," I said.

"Hello, love." It was Edward. I was so joyous and complete in that minute." What do you say to a night out with me? You know, to celebrate your newly acquired freedom." He knew there was no way I could resist.

"Of course, "I responded. " I have to work for a bit and I wanted to go see Jacob." I heard a low growl escape from his throat." Charlie wants me to and I really need to clear things up between us."

"I don't want you to be anywhere near those dogs," Edward snarled. I hated when he talked about Jacob, even though Jacob did the same thing.

"Edward please. I need to make things better and I don't want Charlie to ground me again," I reasoned.

"We'll discuss it when I get back from hunting," he stated. I knew he was stalling to try and get me to not go. "I have to go, the mountain lions are calling. Bye, I love you."

"I love you too," and then the phone went dead.

"Don't worry; he'll get over it," Alice promised." He still can't believe that he left you with them."

"I wish they could get along, I really do. This mortal enemy thing is really bothersome," I pouted.

"Well, I guess you don't exactly understand it, seeing as you have none," Alice figured.

"Yeah, I really don't get the whole 'I wish they would just die' thing," I replied. I looked at my watch quickly and figured that I needed to go to work.

"Hey Emmet, can you give me a ride to work? Edward picked me up and my car's at home."

"Sure!" Emmet shouted as he jumped up off the sofa." I really want to get away from this TV show. It's starting to scare me." He was out the door in a second. I had to laugh at that, a vampire afraid of something.

I wanted to go see Jacob and I knew that Alice would be a much more difficult barrier than Emmet. I really hoped she hadn't seen me running yet, but I knew it was unlikely.

"Bye Alice, see you later," I said.

"Bye Bella. I'll be over at your house when you get back so I can get you ready for tonight," Alice chirped. I was really hoping that she wouldn't try to stop me or worse, tell Edward.

I went outside, where Emmet had parked his Jeep in front of the house. I remembered how high the jump had been last time and quickly jumped up. Of course, I was pretty sure I had bruised my shin, but that was unavoidable.

"Geez Bella," Edward sighed as he took off." You truly can't do anything without getting hurt. If Edward would just make you a vampire then you would be fine."

"Can't you convince him?" I questioned.

"I've tried, but he's still refusing. Maybe a few pranks would soften him up," Emmet said as a smile appeared in his face. By now, we were at the store and I jumped out of the car, landing on my face, of course. I could hear Emmet chuckling.

"See ya later. We can plan some pranks later." I yelled 'Bye' back as I walked into the store. Once inside, I went to talk to Mike, but I didn't have work today.
