Twilight FanfictionLife through the eyes of Another
A Rocky Situation
Bella Cullen
It was mid-day the sun was hidden behind large grey clouds as usual, that's what the weather was always like here in Forks. I sat peacefully at the large pine table in one of the many seats that had been placed around the table. Not that me or my family ever used this table but it was for decoration. I sat quietly looking down at my hands that were interlocked on the table as I waited for my husband Edward Cullen that I adored more than anything all accept my young daughter.
Edward had gone down to the school which Renesmee attended to see the principal who had rung us telling us of the troubles which Renesmee had started with large groups of people. As I sat there in silence, the rest of my family was busy doing their own things I heard the front door open. Rapidly I rose from the cushioned chair where I had been sitting and walked into the passage way. As I walked in I saw Renesmee lugging herself along with her head hung low. Copper coloured curls fell in front of her eyes causing droplets of water to fall on the wooden floorboards; her shoulders were slumped over making her beautiful posture seem to look slightly unattractive. I shifted my gaze to look at my darling husband walking gracefully behind her a placid look on his face. Raising one of my brows I talked to Edward telepathically.
So what happened?
Edward turned to his young daughter who stood a few centimeters ahead of him before speaking "Nessie," he said calmly in his velvet voice yet it had a sharp tinge to it. "Do you have something you would like to tell your mother?" he asked, I watched as Nessie lifted her head a groan falling from her lips as she rolled her eyes at her father, who glared at her. She narrowed her eyes at him before sighing and turned her head to look at me plastering a fake smile across her lips and beginning to speak.
"Well mother dear," she started attitude dripping from her voice "I am terribly sorry to tell you, but I will not be returning to school for a while," with that she ripped her eyes away from me before glaring at Edward for a few seconds then turned and made her way up to her room, stomping dramatically up the stairs just to add character.
I stood in my spot my hands placed on my hips my gaze flicking over to my husband's before I groaned turning and making my way back into the kitchen. "Bloody hell," I mumbled under my breath as I walked over to the kitchen sink and placed my hands on the bench closing my eyes and bowing me head down. "Three times, three times this week," I stated as calmly as I could muster up.
"Bella, she's only young don't forget." Edward whispered walking over and placing his perfect arms around me.
"You always say that." I stated, turning to face him and wrapping my arms around his neck looking into his topaz coloured eyes.
He simply cocked one of his brows at me before a smirk crossed his beautiful face "Do you not remember what you were like when you were her age? You yourself did some pretty troublesome things in you adolescent years."
I looked down biting back a giggle that was forming in my chest and tried to hide the smile that was creeping up on my face, but had no luck. Edward simply chuckled before gently pressing his lips to mine catching me off guard but I simply smiled into the kiss before returning it.
Suddenly we were pulled away from one and other by the sound of something smashing on what sounded like a wall and the deep voice of Emmett yell "SHIT!" quickly Edward let go of me and turned to the room where it had come from, which sounded like the study. I looked back at my husband who simply shrugged before gently taking my hand and we both walked into the study to find one of Esme's valuable vases's smashed on the ground at the opposite side of the room, Rose glaring daggers at Emmett who was looking at her with a surprised look on his face.
"Rose?" I whispered letting go of Edward's hand and slowly walking over to the blonde headed angel who stood rigid in one spot her hands clenched into fists. "What's wrong?" I asked flicking my gaze between the two before she spoke.
"This man," she hissed turning to face me, her topaz eyes' showing the anger that she was holding in. "is being irrational."
"How in the name of god am I being irrational?" he yelled at her from the opposite side of the room where he stood, I turned to look at him only to find he had a confused look printed across his face.
"Are you honestly telling me that you have no idea how you, Emmett Cullen, are being irrational?" she screamed before bending down and picking up a thick book that sat on the ground before she straightened up and threw the book at his head with so much force that I felt the wind from the throw on my face. Emmett simply lifted one of his large hands and caught the book that was only inches from his face before chucking it away from him and speaking again.
"Yes, ROSALIE HALE, I AM saying that I have no idea how I am being irrational." He growled at her his eyes flashing with anger, something I had never really seen. To be honest I had never seen Emmett so angry at his wife before.
"You are being irrational by saying that we should move away from this family, where do you plan for us to go? Alaska?"
"Yes, and I ask yet again, how am I being irrational?"
"Geez Emmett you are about as thick as two short planks, you know yourself that I don't want to move away, from this family, from this life. You know that Emmett." She screamed yet again.
"Well excuse me Miss Hale for wanting to TRY and live a normal life." Emmett snarled his chocolate curls falling in front of his topaz eyes.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS, NORMAL!" Rose laughed exasperated "WE MISTER CULLEN WILL NEVER HAVE A NORMAL LIFE, INCASE YOUFORGOT WE ARE VAMPIRES!"
"I KNOW THAT, BUT STILL WE COULD TRY LIVING A SEMI NORMAL LIFE." Rose just continued to glare at him from a distance. "you know what Rose," he sighed looking at his stunning wife "I give up, I give up trying to make you happy because whatever I do it just never seems to be enough,"
Rose looked at her husband for a few seconds before she scoffed and floated out of the study and walked upstairs. I could hear her muttering to herself as she stormed up the stairs. I turned to Edward, who was looking over at his brother who had turned and walked over to one of the many large windows at the far side of the room and was gazing out at the greenery that surrounded the large house. I looked at Edward before whispering to him that I would go and talk to Rose. He smiled before placing a light kiss on my forehead before I turned and walked out of the large study and up the flight of stairs toward Rose and Emmett's room.
I lightly knocked on the door waiting for a response, when there was no response I took lead and pushed the door open slowly and peeked my head around the door to find Rosalie sitting in an old polished oak rocking chair in the corner of her room looking out her window. By the way she was sitting and the expression that was plastered across her face I could tell that if she was human she would be crying. "Rose?" I whispered quietly slowly moving closer to where she sat. I kneeled down in front of her trying to find her eyes, she sighed before flicking her eyes so she was looking into mine. "Are you alright?" I asked almost mutely. She simply shrugged her shoulders and smiled weakly. "Come on honey, you can tell me."
Quietly she began to speak to me "it's just Emmett and I, we used to be so close, but now…" she paused pulling her eyes away from me and looked down at her lap. "It's as if we're slowly growing apart, like we are losing all the love that we used to have for one and other." a small sob fell from her lips as her perfect blonde hair fell in front of her topaz coloured eyes that were now closed tightly. I lightly placed a hand over her own which was resting over one of the arms of the rocking chair.
"Rose it'll be fine, I promise," I promised in a soft tone.
"I hope so Bella," she sighed bringing her head up so her eyes met mine again "I really hope so." with her saying that I knew that that was the end of our conversation, I patted her hand before rising to my feet and made my way over to the door, but before I left I turned to look at Rose who was looking at me I smiled sympathetically before walking out the room and down the stairs.
Once I had reached the bottom of the stairs I walked into the lounge room to sit down for a while only to find that Edward was already in there sitting on the long lounge chair, he was smiling his crooked smile so I guessed that everything went well with Emmett and him so I walked over and sat down next to him resting my head on his chest, I felt his hand start to caress my hair so I simply closed my eyes enjoying the silence.
The next thing I heard movement in the study and a door close, quickly both Edward and I sat up only to see Emmett walk past the doorway muttering to himself as he walked toward the front door. Instantly Edward got to his feet and walked out after his brother. I sat by myself in complete silence as I waited for my husband to return and when he did I saw that he had a calm look on his face although I could tell that he was unhappy. "Edward, what did Emmett say?" I asked as he plonked himself down in the lounge chair next to me.
"He said he needed time to be alone and think." he replied in a hushed tone before he sighed tilting his head back on the lounge and closed his eyes for a brief moment before he opened them and looked up at the pale ceiling.
"Well, that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't going to get through this… does it?" I asked in a whisper.
"Bella I can't be certain, I mean I have never seen Emmett and Rose fight like this at all. The only time that I have ever seen them fight they were only little fights not a big screaming fit between each other, and another thing Emmett has never walked out on Rose… or said he gave up on anything for her." sighing I turned away from Edward only to find Rose standing in the door frame. The look on her face told me right away that her heart was about to shatter right there and then.
I felt Edward's body turn to face the figure standing in the doorway "Rosalie I am so sorry, I couldn't do anything to stop him."
Slowly Rose raised one of her beautiful hands to tell him to stop. "Is he really gone?" she asked her voice soft and full of emotion, I couldn't help but feel her pain.
"Rose, with all honesty I don't know. You might just have to give him some space, let him clear his mind for a while." the angel in front of me simply nodded her head slowly before looking down at the ground and turning then walking out of the room. I sighed and looked down at the ground before I felt Edward's comforting arms around me and he pulled me down onto his chest.
"I love you Bella," he whispered to me.
I sighed and closed my eyes before answering "I love you to Edward." I felt him bow his head and place a soft kiss on top of my head.
