AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay so I have been debating about whether to continue my tradition of positing up two chapters at once or not. I only plan on making this a quick maybe 10 chapter story, so if I were to post two chapters at once, it would mean less to look forward to. I don't know, I guess we will just have to see where the story goes. It might be longer than 10 chapters but definitely no more than 15. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. I love hearing from you all!
This chapter was inspired by the songs "She Has No Time" by Keane and "Ohio Is For Lovers" by Hawthorne Heights.
CH. 2-EDWARD'S POV
"Is he still in there moping around?! God someone get him out of here or I will. He's making this whole damn house depressed!" the voice of my brother Emmett shouted in annoyance.
"Emmett, he is in pain right now. Can't you try to be more supportive than that?" Esme asked with concern.
"Sure thing mom," Emmett replied before walking up the stairs.
"Yeah I will be supportive of him by picking him up and throwing him out of the window," Emmett thought to himself with a smirk. --(All thoughts read by Edward will be italicized)
"Jasper, can you please-," Esme tried to get out.
"Right behind him," Jasper cut in giving Esme a reassuring smile before heading after Emmett up the stairs to my room.
I've been in my room for over four hours pacing back and forth, thinking of ways to get Bella back into my life. I hated breaking her heart and seeing her cry. There was nothing I hated worse than seeing my perfect angel in pain. I sighed to myself before going to my stereo to change the song playing on my iPod.
You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You say your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
"Oh my gosh. Cut my wrist and black my eyes!" Emmett called out in amusement as he and my other brother Jasper entered the room. "What the hell is this?" He asked as I threw a CD case at him.
"If you are going to quote song lyrics, you should at least know the artist who created it," I replied in irritation.
"Hawthorne Heights. I always wondered where that depressing line came from and of course you would be just the guy who owns the music," Emmett responded with a chuckle turning the CD case over in his big hands.
"It's one of Bella's favorite bands…" I tried trailed off with a frown coming to my face.
"That's it," Emmett growled out in frustration moving towards me.
"Emmett no. You are not going to beat him up. Why would you even think that punching the living daylights of him would help matters? He's sad because he feels like he lost Bella. He needs support and advice, not a WWE smack down," Jasper asserted pulling Emmett back.
"But he didn't lose her. Why can't you just stop trying to hide your stupid secrets and tell Bella why you were with Tiffany?" Emmett asked with a shake of his head.
"No absolutely not," I said with finality.
"Well have fun being a virgin again," Emmett responded turning to walk away.
"Fuck you Emmett!" I growled at him as my fists started shaking.
"Edward he really didn't mean it. He's just worried about you," Jasper tried to reassure me.
"No I meant it," Emmett replied with a huge grin on his face.
"I told Emmett not to talk to Edward about Tiffany, it will only make things worse. Does anyone listen to me anymore?" Alice thought to herself as I heard her make her way closer to the house.
"Alice will be here in a couple of minutes," I said a loud going back to my pacing.
"Good," Jasper said with a sigh of relief.
"Dammit," Emmett said with look of annoyance. Jasper and I looked at him with curious expressions. "She is going to kill me once she finds out that I spoke to you," Emmett responded shuffling his feet.
"Are you forgetting what Alice's power is? She already knows," I replied with a shake of my head. Sometimes I really wondered about my brother.
"I'm sure Alice will be able to help you Edward. Do you want me to stay when she comes?" Jasper asked with sincerity.
"No it's okay Jasper. Thanks for trying to help," I replied with a nod as Emmett disappeared out into the hallway.
"No problem. Just know that I'm here alright? And I know Emmett didn't really say anything to help you out and he only infuriated you more, but I really think you should consider telling Bella about what you and Tiffany are really up to," Jasper said.
"And ruin the surprise? I can't do that. I've been working very hard for this, you know that," I responded in frustration.
"I know but is it really worth sacrificing your relationship with Bella?" Jasper asked with sad eyes.
"That's not going to happen," I stated with conviction.
"For your sake Edward, I really hope that it doesn't," Jasper sighed.
"Wow have you seen Esme's new painting Alice?" Emmett called out to his sister as she walked closer towards my room in the hallway.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I did. It's lovely and do you know what else I saw Emmett?" Alice asked him softly.
"You know, I really should be going. I was only up here to get Rose," Emmett replied with hesitation.
"Really, that's the best you could come up with? Rose is out shopping and you know that! And you also know that I know that you were up here talking to Edward when I specifically told you not to!" Alice shouted at Emmett.
"Hold on there, Polly Pocket. You can't just walk up here and start blaming me for things. And even if I did come up here to talk to him, which I didn't, what right do you have to tell me that I cannot speak to my own brother?!" Emmett yelled back crossing his arms.
"When it concerns my brother's happiness, I sure as hell have a right. And you are currently in the way of that because you can't keep your big gorilla mouth shut!" Alice screamed back taking a step towards him.
"Why don't you go back to Smurf Village and hang out with the rest of your little friends okay?" Emmett said with a chuckle.
"Call me a name one more time Emmett," Alice growled at him.
"I don't have to stand for this, especially from some bite-sized Tinkerbell Barbie!" Emmett shouted back unwisely.
A loud smacking sound was heard from the hallway outside my room followed by a "Fuck!" from Emmett.
As depressed as I was at the moment, I knew that this argument was going to lighten my mood. Jasper and I both smirked at each other before walking in to the hallway to join them.
BELLA'S POV
"Jacob, I need you," I sighed sadly in to my phone.
Well I thought it would be nice to balance out some of the depressing mood with entertainment. I hope that I pulled it off. Man, how I have missed writing for Emmett! Let me know what you all think so far and please review, review, review! =]
