AN: Although I will be continuing my other stories, I am getting a little fed up with writing all human so here's a story. It's like a little mini break for me from all human. Thanks guys and I would really like to see more than one review for all my stories if you don't mind… P.S. This is all vampy, just the way I like it.
Bella's POV
I was at the Cullens' house. Emmett was babysitting me while the others were out hunting. It was about ten minutes before the others were coming home. I was sitting on the couch with Emmett watching television. I'd taken to wearing long shirts all the time because they were supposedly in fashion. Only I knew the real reason why though. I was reaching for the remote across the couch from me, when Emmett reached out to help me. My sleeve was slowly sliding up, and I gasped, readying to pull it back quickly before he noticed. It was too late. Emmett had noticed my gasp, and turned to see what had caused it. He caught my actions just as I was pulling my sleeve back down. Before I could blink, he had my arm in his iron grip, pulling my sleeve up.
He stared for about 3 minutes until he turned to face me. He pulled my arm so I could them. "Bella, what are these?" he asked. I gulped but didn't answer. Emmett was like my big brother, how would he react if he knew what I had done to myself? His voice shook me out of my reverie. "Bella, he repeated again, with an edge, what are these?" I opened my mouth but nothing came out. He lifted me from my spot on the couch, and walked towards the door with me. It took me a moment to realize what he was doing. He was opening the door, to invite our family back from their hunting trip. They were back, and he was going to rat me out to Edward.
As he opened the door, he gestured for everyone to go into the living room. When he got around to Edward, he physically restrained him from moving into the room with the rest of our family. He looked at me with disappointment. I guess he had figured it out. He was blocking Edward, I could tell because he looked confused as he looked at Emmett. Emmett moved me so I was standing in front of him. He looked seriously at Edward and pulled my sleeve back to reveal my many cuts and designs. They covered my right arm and wrist. Some pink and healing, others red and fresh. They were cut in lines and patterns skillfully on my skin. Edward just stared. When he finally looked at me, he had a pained look on his face. He looked like if he could cry. He would be.
I walked into his arms and cried. He closed them around me. Emmett stepped quickly out of the room. Edward just held me. His next words had my body wracking with tears. He looked at me. I don't know how it was possible, but he was crying fresh venom tears. He looked at me and kissed me full on the lips. "Never again, he spoke, never do this again" he said. He positioned me so I was looking straight into his eyes. "I already almost lost you once, I won't let it happen again, even if I have to protect you from you!" he said, a promise of love ringing in every word. Tears poured like rivers down both of our faces.
I grabbed his shirt in attempt to be as close to him as possible. "I didn't know what to do, I cried, you weren't there!" I sobbed. He pulled me closer, if that was even possible. "It's okay sweetheart, I'm here now" he sobbed, as he placed his head in the crook of my neck. I pulled my fingers through his hair. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" I sobbed into his shoulder. We were both down on our knees in the Cullens' kitchen, holding onto each other for dear life. So quietly that even Edward hadn't noticed, Alice slipped into the room and landed next to me. She pulled me into her so I was hugging her side. "Bella, you're my best friend, I won't lose you!" she sobbed. I hugged her to me. "Never again Ali, never again, I promise!" I told her sternly. She nodded as she sobbed.
Just as quietly as Alice had, the rest of our family joined us on the tile floor. Esme and Carlisle hugged Edward, and sobbed words of love to him. My two brothers, Emmett and Jasper walked up to me. They just looked at me, not saying a word. I pulled them to me, and hugged them. "You'll never lose me Jazz, Em" I sobbed. Emmett pulled me closer and sobbed into my shoulder. I just patted his back. Rose came up to me, venom tears pooling down her China doll face. I pulled her to me just as I had the others. She sobbed into my shoulder.
"Don't do this to me Bella! She sobbed, you're my sister!" I hugged her closer. "You're supposed to stay with us. You are our family; you're the glue that holds us all together." She looked straight at me, her butterscotch eyes melting my chocolate ones. "Like Edward said, we won't lose you again!" She sobbed harder.
When I was cutting, I'd felt so… in charge, Like I controlled the pain. If that meant my family had to suffer, than I wasn't going to do it anymore. I had to stop, for their sake, and for mine. I'd thought that I couldn't live without them, when the truth was, that's how we all felt. Alice couldn't live without Jasper, and neither could he. The same went for Edward and I, and Emmett and Rosalie, and Esme and Carlisle. We were a family. One couldn't exist without the other.
If one of us was going down, than we all would follow. We were a package deal. It wasn't just the Cullens. It was Bella, Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, Carlisle, Alice, and Jasper. We were indivisuals, yet all one person too.
