You see those guys, over there by the bbq, arguing over the right way to cook a hamburger. They are my loving, all very different brothers. The tall lanky blonde haired one in the middle with the spatula in his hand is Jasper. He is sort of the awkward one out of all of us. Jasper is quite, smart and more of a privet person.
Then to the left of him is Edward. He is taller then Jasper but not as lean. His hair is a reddish bronze given to him by our late mother who passed away three years ago in a freak car accident. Edward is the oldest, more responsible one. He takes care of us, even if we do not want him too. I know no matter how upset or disappointed he gets with me, he will always have my back.
Lastly, there is James. I am close to all my brothers but James and I have more of an understanding with each other. He has short blonde hair now but before he joined the marines, it was almost to his shoulders. He is a lot more bulkier now but I'm assuming once he quite the drugs and joined the military he was able to keep some weight on witch is now basically all muscle. James has always respected my free spirit, and never has he tried to mold me into something I am not. James respects me as an individual the most out of my family.
There is one brother missing, we haven't seen him in years. His name is Jacob; He is my twin brother. He left about four years ago, in the middle of the night. I remember waking up to him throwing his things out his bedroom window, we where only sixteen at the time. When I asked him why he was leaving, he said we where better off with out him. I never knew what he meant by that. I hope to run into him one day and tell him how once he left our lives unraveled, more specifically mine life unraveled. He was my rock, my shoulder to cry on, with out him I felt lost and hopeless. Life with out him was never the same.
My name is Isabella Marie Black, I'm 20 now, still living with my brothers, and I attend Ucla, where I'm a dance major, with a minor in business. I work at the Y.A teaching a hip-hop class. Once I graduate, I hope to open my own dance studio and tech everything from ballet to Hip-hop. James is 22. He just came home from the USMC, but he is getting ship back to Iraq. We don't know when we just know he will eventually leave us again. Jasper is 24 and a tax accountant for some rich people in LA. I don't know much about it. He has tried to explain it to me but I get bored and tune out. Then Edward is 26 and is a cop. He is going to be getting married soon to the girl he has been with since like kindergarten
I'm the youngest, and I defiantly am a completely different person then any of them. I often wonder how Jacobs's personality has turned out. I party more then any of my brothers ever did. With the exception of James. However, our definitions of partying are very different. I always got into more trouble at school, and the cops brought me home a few times, I was never arrested officially, or put in jail; I would just be brought home for being out after 11 and being a minor. I think I'm so different because Jacob and I have a different dad compared to Edward, Jasper and James. They all have the same dad. He is a respected doctor, a good-hearted man. My mother left him because he was more dedicated to his work then their marriage. She married my father who was not as focused in a career as Carslie. However, once my mom got pregnant he left her. I never even meet him. Carslie has always looked out for me in small ways. I have always wanted him to be my dad, but you cannot always have what you want.
Where having a Bbq today for James, Sort of a welcome home thing. A few of his friends came from the USMC, Our close friends, some of our Aunts, Uncles and cousin's where here. I took the time to work on my tan while everyone else caught up with James.
"You do know that to much sun causes skin cancer right Izzy?" I opened my eye to see James standing over me with a gleaming smile on his face. He pulled a chair next to me sitting down. I smiled not having a come back.
"Is your dad coming today?" I asked wanting to keep a conversation with him. I really did miss him.
"Yeah he said he was. Hey there is someone I want you to meet." James stood up look towards the back door where the hottest guy I have even seen was standing look around the back yard. He was very tall, with sort black hair. He arms bulged from under his Tap-Out shirt. He had a very lively smile, with the cutest dimples. James waved him over to us. I sat all the way up looking over at James.
"Who is he?" I asked obviously attracted to him. James chuckled softly patting my shoulder. He shook hands with the man giving him a good pat on the shoulder.
"Isabella, this is Emmett. He saved my life." James introduced us proudly. Emmett lightly shook my hand. "Em, this is my sister Isabella." James smiled looking between us both.
"I herd a lot of interesting stories about you," Emmett said looking me directly in the eye, His eyes where an amber brown that pierced right through me giving my inner core a warm tingling feeling.
"Nothing to bad I hope." I gave James a warning look. He knew a lot of embarrassing stories about me. James smiled a guilty smile.
"Hey dad is here, I'll be back." He was quick to walk away. I was glaring at the back of his head mental cursing him out. When I looked back to Emmett, he was still looking at me.
"So you saved my brothers life huh? Never thought I would ever meet a real life hero before." I took my seat. Emmett smiled widened before he took James's former seat.
"He over exaggerates. We saved each other, and he is the real hero. Did you know he saved a whole school filled with kids from a suicide bomber? He should be getting a metal." I looked over at James feeling a small burden by the image of James in such a horrific situation. I never really thought of him being at war that dramatic. "Are you ok?" Emmett's voice brought me back from the stomach turning imagines of James fighting off a bomber risking his own life to save others that he never met.
"Yeah, sorry. I just I never thought of him being in that much danger." I had to take a drink of my water to clear my throat.
"He knows what he is doing out there, Maybe he didn't want you to worry about it. I probably shouldn't have said anything." Emmett looked at me concerned. I pulled myself together quickly.
"Don't worry about it, James is going to do what he wants, there is no use in worrying about something you have no control over. It doesn't do anyone any good." I managed to say with a smile.
"I like your way of thinking. My sister tries to have control over everything I do, and all her letters where about how worried she was about me. I wouldn't have been so distracted worrying about her, if I knew she wasn't worrying about me."
"How old is she?" I asked assuming she is younger then him.
"Where 23, she is my twin even though we look nothing alike." Emmett laughed leaning back into his chair. I never meet anyone else with a twin before, I was now not only very attracted to Emmett but I was now intrigued by him.
"I have a twin, His name is Jacob. We haven't seen him in years but he is my twin brother. We don't look a like either." I said more ecstatic then I meant to sound.
"Really, I didn't know that, James never mentioned another brother," Emmett sounded as interested as I was.
"James sort of has a grudge towards him. Long story." I cut it short seeing James and Carslie walking towards us.
"Isabella. How are you doing?" I stood up giving Carslie a hug.
"I'm doing well, How are you?" I asked sitting down reaching for my sunglasses.
"I'm very while dear." I always thought Carslie was too proper but that was who he was. I smiled resting back in my chair returning to my tan. James introducedEmmett and his father. They talked for a while until Carslie went to talk to Edward and James saw an old friend. Emmett remained next to me.
"You're not very close with your dad are you?" Emmett asked pulling his shirt off to relax in the sun. Thank god, I had my sunglasses on and he couldn't see me gawking at his impeachable body. "If that was too personal I'm sorry." He said looking over at me.
"Oh no it's ok, it's just he isn't my dad. I never meet my dad." I said in a flat dual tone. "Hey do you want a beer or something?" I asked needing a beer my self.
"Sure, what kind do you have?" Emmett asked watching me put my shorts back on.
"Ugh, bud light, corona, and Miller I think." I waited for his answer, Emmett was looking at me but he was looking at my body making me blush.
"Um, ahh, whatever you get is fine." He stumbled over his words catching him self-staring. I went over to the coolers where Jasper stood with James and our cousin Mike.
"Why don't you put some clothes on? All the guys are staring at you." Mike said throwing his shirt at me. I smirked bending down to get to Bud lights.
"It's a pool party Mike get over it." I laughed tossing the shirt back over at him.
"Izzy, are those for you?" Jasper asked with a raised eyebrow. I rolled my eyes at him.
"One is for James's friend Emmett, and yes the other is for me. I'm celebrating my brother being home." James hugged me laughing, and then kissed the top of my head.
"Come on Jazz relax at least she is doing at home where we can keep an eye on her" James came to my defense, just like I knew he would.
"Just don't get wasted Izzy." Jasper was never one for arguments. I guess that's why he never became a lawyer. I could handle my liquor well. I could probably out drink my brothers, well maybe not James. I walked back over to Emmett, he was surrounded by my cousin's and there friends. I sighed before I got there.
"Jessica you're in my chair." I said simply to my Cousin Emily's friend. Emmett let out a low chuckle when Jessica jumped up.
"Bud light ok?" I said taking my seat handing over the beer to Emmett. He took the beer with a crooked grin.
"That's perfect." Emmett said laying back.
"So what's it like being a marine?" Jessica asked fucking Emmett with her eyes.
"It's cool, I get to play with guns and blow things up." Emmett smiled at her. I wanted to gag; he really could do better then her. She is basically the town slut.
"Jessica you're blocking my sun move your fat ass." I said frustrate with my beer top. I thought they where twist offs but they weren't. Jessica gave me a snobby glare. Emmett leaned over taking my beer from me and popping it off with his bottle opener on his key chain.
"Thanks." I said taking a sip laying back.
"Anyway Emmett, you where saying?" Jessica went back to flirting with Emmett.
"I wasn't saying anything, you where asking questions." Emmett said in a flirty tone.
"Izzy come here!" Edward called from the Bbq, I was glad he called me over; Jessica gets on my dam nerves. If I would have known, Edward was calling me as a decoy I would have listened to her flirt with Emmett. As I was walking over to my suspected brother, his grin became increasingly large. Before I knew it, I felt a pair of arms around me and I was flying in the air straight for the water. I didn't see my attacker but I had a feeling I knew who it was. I was kicking and punching trying to get him to let me go. When I finally surfaced, I saw James laughing at me. I thought it would have been Mike, or maybe his brother David, but not James.
"You're such an asshole!" I swam over to him chasing him out of the water. I was going to get him back whether he liked it or not. We danced around Edward and the Bbq for a while until Jasper caught him for me. Jasper informed me there was an empty ice chest with ice water. The two wrestled while I grabbed the chest and pored it over the both of them.
"Hey! Now where out of Ice Isabella!" Edward yelled in a fit of laughter. Everyone was watching us laughing.
"I'll go get some more them." I said my tossing my wet, messy hair up in a bun.
"No you won't you have been drinking." Jasper said matter of factly. Edward turned to glare at me.
"Isabella why are you drinking?" I gave Jasper a dirty look for opening his mouth in front of Edward. He is really iffy with me drinking. One day he is ok with it, then the next he turns into officer Jerk and gives me a lecture about it.
"Hey, hey, hey relax. Bell's and I will go to the store. I'll drive. It was a beer Edward, she didn't down a bottle of vodka." James handed me a towel coming to my rescue like the good brother he is.
"Edward I know you're a cop but relax, I drink you know that. I don't drink and drive and I don't get out of hand." I walked away annoyed and irritated with my brothers. They act like every time they see me with a beer it's the first time. When the truth is I come home trashed every weekend, and they always nurse my hangovers. It's not like I'm a messy drunk, I'm actually a funny drunk or that's what I'm told anyway. I went back over to My chair to get my things. Jessica was sitting on the table talking to Emmett. He looked at me obviously holding in his laugh.
"What?" I said with attitude, Emmett broke out into a fit of laughter. I rolled my eyes walking away. Emmett jumped up running over to me.
"Hey wait, are you leaving?" He said trying to calm his laughter down.
"No, where going to the store." I turned around to look at him he was right behind me. I had to look up to meet his eyes. He looked down at me giving me a friendly smile.
"Mind if I go? That girl is driving me crazy." I looked past him over to Jessica and laughed.
"Yea come on."
When we got to the store, I made James buy more beer. It was Friday night and the family was all at the house. I had a feeling we would need the beer. James and I argued about why I really wanted the beer. I insisted it was for the sake of our guest having a good times, but James who read me like a book inserted it was too piss Edward off. He was half-right. I just wanted to have a good time, Pissing Edward off would be a bonus. Once we got into the car, I pulled out my pipe and packed a bowl of Kush.
"Dam where did you get that from, It smells bomb!" Emmett said turning around in his seat to look at my weed.
"Wanna smoke?" I asked lighting it up taking a big hit. Emmett looked at James; they gave each other a quick look that I couldn't read. It was like they had a quick quite conversation. "Do you need James permission or something?" I can be some what of a bitch at times, Jasper is always complaining about my smartass mouth, and Edward always says I'm a bitchy person. I say, I'm just honest and real I don't beat around the bush about stuff. I speak my mind and if you don't like it then screw you.
"Yeah right, sorry baby girl but I'm my own man, I don't ask permission for anything, I see something I want I take." He reached for the pipe taking right out of my hand. I raised an eyebrow at him liking his attitude.
"So you think you're a boss huh? Sounds like if you're going to be around where going to bump heads because I'm the only boss around here. I'm ganna have to brake you down and put you under my command" James and Emmett both started to laugh. We finished the bowl before we got out of the car. The rest of the day was a lot of fun. Edward was annoyed with the four cases of beer we brought back. But James talked to him. We all ended up in the pool, witch was a mistake for me considering I was the target for everyone to fuck with, and I almost drowned like three times. Emmett and I talked a lot of shit to each other, but it was more in a flirtatious way. Jessica was trying her hardest to get in good with Emmett but he could see right through her. At least he wasn't a man whore who would fuck anything that moved. Edward ended up going over to Victoria's, he didn't want to be at the house if the cops got called because we where being loud. I bet he really just wanted to get laid. By three I went to bed and passed out, I think it was safe to say or Bbq turned into a welcome home party for James.
So If you like where this story is going leave a review letting me I should continue….. Thanks!!
