This was nice, we were just lying on Edward's bed talking about books and music, and he was running his finger through my hair from root to tip. It was making me all calm and tingly, that great loose relaxed feeling spreading all over my body and I was drawing nonsensical patterns on his chest with a finger tip. Just when he had bent his head down to kiss my lips the door of the bedroom was flung open wide. Don't they knock in this house?
"My turn now" says Alice chirpily, "Your turn for what exactly?" I ask lazily and Edward growls quietly but as my hand is now flat on his chest I feel it. "You silly, come on, you really need a makeover now" she replies bouncing up and down. I know Edward is telling her something and he is not happy because she says "Oh pooh, Edward" in a sarcastic voice.
"No thanks Alice, I'm just too comfortable here" I tell her as I lie back against Edward, thinking what's so damned wrong with me now. I snuggle in but the warm fuzzy feeling is gone. But she grabs my arm and yanks me towards the edge of the bed, "Alice let go, you're hurting me, I said No!" I yell. She throws my arm back at me "Your no fun Bella, I thought you were my friend? Why won't you let me play with you?" she snaps back at me and I see the look of disgust on her face as I cradle my arm to my body and her words sink in.
"Play with me? I won't let you play with me? What the hell Alice! I'm I just a toy to you?" I grind out between clenched teeth, I'm so angry and in pain. "That's not what I meant to say" she whispers now looking agitated and contrite. "Your right that was not what you meant to say Alice, but it was what you really meant anyway. A bit of a Freudian slip there I think! "I tell her as I get up off the bed and she goes to take my arm again and I flinch away. Edward is still staring at her and barely registers seeing me move.
"Well you won't be playing with me ever again Alice, because spoiled brats who break their toys get them taken away, permanently" I seethe as I head for the door. "Oh and by the way I don't need a makeover Thank you very much! I look just the way I want too, that's all that really matters to me" I informed her over my shoulder.
"I warned you Alice" I heard Edward says to her. "Where are you going Love, and what do you mean by her breaking her toys?" Edward asks now looking away from Alice for the first time since she entered the room and seeing me by the door. I head for Carlisle's office ignoring him and gently knock, "Come in Bella, its open". Using my other hand I turn the handle and enter. "What can I do for you dear? Bella are you okay? You look a little peaky sweetheart" he says coming round the desk and helping me sit down. I indicate my arm still cradled by the other and he hisses.
"What on earth, how did you do that dear?" no sooner were the words out of his mouth than Edward was by my side. "What's wrong Bella? Carlisle?" he's panicking now and I just say "Sit down Edward, Please". Carlisle tells him my arm is dislocated and my wrist is fractured. "What happened Edward? you were there you must have seen what happened?" Carlisle asks in his calm Doctor's voice.
"Alice wanted to give Bella a Makeover and..." he started when I stopped him in his tracks, "No! Alice demanded I let her play with me and felt I was so desperately in need of a makeover she thought it would be perfectly okay to drag me off the bed by my arm and when I refused to comply she threw my arm back at me so hard that it bounced of Edward's leg and obviously broke my wrist" I let it all spew out, as the pain sets in more.
"So is that all I am, a toy too share around and discard when you're done and I'm broken" I was livid now. "Carlisle, when do you ever just walk into the other bedrooms, when they are in there?" I ask him, "Never, I wouldn't embarrass them, like that" he answered. "Well Alice seems to think its fine to do that to me, when she's bored. And Edward didn't really try to stop her, just a token growl" I tell him, "So as the head of this family can I ask you to insist that I am afforded the same courtesy, since my mate!" I say this in a disparaging tone "Is unable to do this small thing for me".
Edward gasps at that and starts to apologise "Don't bother unless you really mean it Edward, being sorry after the event is just useless platitudes for the sake of it and frankly it's becoming extremely repetitive where you and I are concerned. You were so busy looking in her head you didn't see her hurting me! how is that possible? and why didn't you even try to protect me?" I thundered at him. "Why would you allow her to hurt me? Because I'm sure neither Emmett nor Jasper would ever have allowed that to happen, not even by another family member. Dear god I've seen them protect their mates against your anger, in the past!"
"Bella, Bella I'm so sorry, I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to spend time with you and Edward was hogging you all to himself and wouldn't share" sobbed Alice from the doorway. "Do you even hear what you're saying Alice, He wouldn't share! What am to you? a dog chew toy, you can play tug of war over?" I demanded of her. "You said I was your friend, but Alice people don't treat their friends like objects. Just because Jasper is hunting and you are bored, you thought you could just pick me up and play with me even when I didn't want you too! You hurt me because I wouldn't do things your way, Alice. That's not friendship, that's selfishness! but worst of all its physical abuse!".
Carlisle had just finished splinting my hand and nodded he was going to pop my shoulder back in now and for once I didn't grin and bear it I screamed for all I was worth. Let them remember for all time, how much that bloody well hurts. "I would like to go home now" I say quietly to Carlisle as I wiped the tears from my face.
