Chapter 2: It's on

-- Bella's POV --
We got out the car and waved goodbye to Alice. I looked towards the drive way and saw Anthony's car. The living room lights were on. I had a feeling there was a reason why he called both of us tonight. If he usually couldn't make it home on Friday nights or any other day, he would call me. Before he would try to reach Jasper first, but I guess as time passed Anthony realized that Jasper has some ill feelings towards him, so he just called me.

"Did you know he was coming tonight?" I asked as we stood in the sidewalk

"What makes you think I knew?" Jasper asked, annoyance heard in his voice

"He usually texts you to let us know he's coming," I casually replied

"He didn't this time," Jasper mumbled, as we walked towards the door of our home

Jasper moved out of the way so I could open the door, I unlocked the door and opened it. The first thing I heard when I walked inside was the television. We walked into the living room and found Anthony sitting down on the couch. He turned his head towards us and turned the television off. He stood up and

"You know, I texted you two days ago. I specifically told you to not go out on Friday night because I was coming back," He paused as he walked towards Jasper and I. He stopped right in front of Jasper and continued, "So do you want to tell me why the hell you weren't here when I got here? To make matters worst it's past curfew."

Jasper scoffed, "I do not recall reading a message that came from you," he replied

"That's bullshit!" Anthony snapped. I could feel the tension in the room slowly building. Don't you just love reunions? "You know you read my message Jasper! I'm honestly getting sick and tired of this stupid little attitude you're giving me,"

Jasper chuckled lowly, "How would you know if I read your message? Were you here when I received it? I don't think so,"

Why must he provoke Anthony? Anthony was already furious. Must you add fuel to the fire? Jasper usually tries to keep peace when he would see a fight between his friends. But when it came to Anthony, seeing him furious was his goal.

"I know you read it Jasper," Anthony growled

"Honestly, I do not see the point why you send me the text message when you know that I can careless whether you come back here or not," Jasper coldly replied "I've been used to not having you around. Why not just stay in Seattle?"

I could see Anthony's eyes getting darker. This wasn't going to end well. I had to step in. I couldn't let them kill each other right in front of me. I stepped in front of Jasper and looked up at him, "Jasper, would you stop being so disrespectful towards Anthony!" I shouted

Jasper looked down completely intimidating me, "Look Bella, this doesn't concern you, just go to bed," he ordered

"What do you mean this doesn't concern me? I'm your younger sister! We're a family! You two shouldn't be arguing like this!"

"Go to bed Isabella," Jasper sternly replied ignoring whatever I just told him right now

My head was telling me not to move and try to fix things for them, but my feet were already moving. If I stayed I knew I will end up telling Jasper something I would regret. He just frustrates me at times. Sometime he would treat me like I was still his eight year old younger sister who listens to all his requests. I looked at my two older brothers as they continued fighting. What a great example for me… My two older brothers are fighting over some grudge that shouldn't even tear our family apart. I heard enough and quite frankly I've had a fair share of the fights throughout the years. As I walked up the stairs I heard Anthony calling my name, but I completely ignored him. I walked down the hall towards my room and stopped in front of my door. My conscious was bothering me about stopping them, but it's so hard to get through their thick heads. I opened my room door and quietly entered it, closing the door behind me.

My room hasn't changed much over the years. I guess I didn't want to move anything around since my mom was the one who arranged everything in my room- with the help of my dear father. I plopped down on the chair in front of my computer and turned it on. My mom always sent me emails to check up on me. She knows I hardly like using my phone so she just emails me to get the latest updates. My dear mother knows about the whole Jasper versus Anthony ordeal, yet she hasn't done anything. I've been wondering for sometime why she hasn't tried to make peace between them during the holidays when we would fly to Florida or she would come here to Forks. My only guess is that she feels that they're both mature enough to fix it themselves. I beg to differ. They're both hard headed. Maybe that's another reason why my mother hasn't tried anything.

The screaming died down. I finish up my email for my mother and turned off the computer. Someone stomped up the stairs and then a door slam. I sighed. As happy as I was that Anthony was home once again, I wasn't too thrilled about the constant fights I would have to hear. I lied down my bed and stared up at the ceiling. My door opened causing me to turn my head towards the door. It was Anthony. He closed the door behind him and slowly walked towards my bed. He sat down on the edge of my bed

"I'm sorry Bella," He grimaced

I gave him a small smile, "It's not your fault Anthony, I just wish you would try harder to make Jasper listen to you," I paused and glanced at the family picture we took just a few months after I was born, "He really does love you Anthony."

"I never doubted that, Bella. You just have to understand that Jasper is very angry with me right now," he sat down on my bed "I'm just giving him a little bit more time, that's all."

"The more time you give it, the worst it's going to get," I frowned

"You know how Jasper is Bella, he'll forgive me on his own terms," Anthony smiled, reaching to the back pocket of his jeans, "I got you something."

I sat up and smiled at my brother. Accessories do not really appeal to me, but it was from my brother. As much as I wanted to say no, he would just be so persistent. He opened a medium size box and it revealed a beautiful bracelet. The chain was silver and it had a crystal figure of a dog dangling in the middle. Anthony took it out of the box and unhooked the latch. I held out my left wrist- Anthony placed it around my wrist before he hooked the latch back. He looked at my wrist and smiled. "I saw this in a charms store in Seattle. I knew how much you wanted a dog when you were little- besides I still feel awful for what happened to your doll, Mr. Bing-Bing." He reminisce with a smile

I let out a small laugh and patted my brother's hand, "It was an accident Anthony. But thank you though. I love it, it's beautiful" I thanked him. I was surprised that he still remembered what happen to my favorite doll.

"You're welcome, besides it's like a reminder that no matter where I am, I'll always be here to protect you," he pointed at the dog

"Wow, I'm glad to know that when there's a problem, I can count on this small thing right here instead of counting on Jasper," I sarcastically replied, Anthony laughed as he ruffled my hair "Thank you,"

"Anytime little sister," he glanced at the clock, "You should get to bed, it's late."

Apparently even Anthony treats me like the eight year old little girl. I thought my mom would have a hard time accepting I was growing up- seems like it was my brothers who are having a hard time to let go.

"Okay, well I need to change so you must exit my room dear brother," I replied

He smiled. He gave me a quick hug and stood up, "Night Bella,"

"Night Anthony," I replied, as he turned his back walking towards the door, "I'm glad your back,"

He stopped, turned towards me, "So am I," he smiled

He opened the door and walked out, closing the door behind him. I looked at my bracelet once again and smiled. One day, Anthony will treat Jasper as he treats me. He'll protect Jasper too like how he protects me. One day, they'll stop arguing and we'll be a happy family- like when my father was still alive.

-- Edward's POV --
I opened our front door and pushed it open to let Emmett in after me. It was around ten-thirty when we separated from our friends. As much as I didn't want to participate in tonight's festivities, I had fun. Annoying the living crap out of Bella totally kept me entertained. I must say, her attitude surprised me, but like Rosalie said, I shouldn't expect every girl to fall on my feet. To say the least, Bella was different from the rest. Emmett seemed a little more interested in Bella after the little show we showed. Honestly, how surprising is it for him for a girl to hate me? Alright, maybe it was just a little surprising, but I expected that from Bella. After all she is the best friend of the Spawn of Satan.

I slowly walk up the stairs trying my best to not wake my parents- well my mom. I'm quite certain that my father was still at the hospital. My mother was already use to us coming home late, so she never worried. I turned left on the top of the stairs and walked till the end of the hallway. I slowly turned the doorknob and walked in my room, closing the door behind me. I placed my car keys on my bedside table and sat on my bed. I took off my shoes, then my jacket. I heard my door open and I smiled.

"What do you want Emmett?" I asked as I looked up

Who else would come to my room at this hour?

He leaned on my doorframe and smirked. "Did you have fun tonight little bro?"

"I must admit, it was quite an entertaining evening,"

His smirked dropped and his faced turned serious, "Why did you have to pick a fight with Bella? As amusing as it was, it wasn't necessary," He scolded me

I had to laugh. Since when did Emmett scold me? Bella was just bringing out a different side to everyone. For example, Jasper's sudden moods swing. First he was all joking around with us, and then he turns all cold. But then again, it was his brother who did that. I don't know what is going on between them, but I could tell Jasper doesn't like him very much. Jasper was the calm and collected one in our group, seeing him in that way was just odd.

"Woah, are you actually scolding me? Look Em, I was just having a little fun, no big deal," I casually replied.

"Yeah, I know that Edward. But you shouldn't treat her that way, especially since she's Jasper's younger sister,"

I just shook my head, "Kind of forgot she was Jasper's sister for a moment. Have you noticed that they don't even look alike?"

He chuckled, "Believe me, I've asked Jasper if he was certain they were siblings," he paused "Is this about James? Is that the reason you continuously pissed her off?"

"Who else?" I smugly asked.

"Edward, you know pissing her off really won't affect James," he pointed out.

"How can you be so certain? I'm sure James will know about this by tomorrow," I stood up "I'm sure Bella would rant to him about our little encounter,"

"You know little bro, this whole feud with James really amuses me," Emmett walked in my room closing the door behind him "He isn't a bad guy Edward,"

I glared at my brother. How can he say that? He's supposed to by my brother, not James'. What a damn traitor. Then again, this is not the first time, he's betrayed me. He stood me up quite a few times, thanks to his lovely girlfriend, Rosalie. But I still couldn't believe what I was hearing here. "Emmett, you know how much shit James gave me. He took my position away," I growled "Showing off in front of the coach and everything,"

"Your still co-captain, why are you complaining?" Emmett pointed out "Edward, he wasn't showing off. He was just playing football. No one thinks you show off when you play football."

"Whatever," I scoffed

"You know what Edward, if you really want to piss James off, why not make Bella your girlfriend?" Emmett suggested jokingly.

Emmett was a genius. Even if he's suggestion was a joke- I knew that would hit James' nerve the way I wanted too. What better way to do that than make his precious best friend, Isabella Swan, my girlfriend. I could just see his furious face and it just brought a smile to my face. I know I sound pretty sadistically evil, but I just loathe James with such a passion- hurting other people really did not matter to me.

"Emmett Cullen, that must be the most amazing idea, you have ever given me," I replied with my crooked smile.

He groaned, "Edward it was just a joke,"

"Joke or not, it's an amazing idea,"

I glanced at Emmett and noticed he had an amused expression on his face.

"There is no way Bella is going to fall for you, Edward," Emmett said with a laugh.

Ah. I see what that expression was for.

"Wanna bet on it?" was my cocky reply.
