Edward's POV
Bella and I had made it home before anyone else and were down in our cottage, it was about 3am and Jacob had taken Nessie to La Push for the night after she fell asleep on his shoulder. Due to Emmett and Jasper's humour, Alice was now very angry at Bella and me because we let the others win. That and the fact she couldn't "see" what was happening due to Jacob.
We heard them all arrive home then, *CRASH* there goes the door and "Jasper stop trying to calm me down. I'm not angry about the game anymore. It's the fact you feel the need to calm me down."
Esme took a deep breath in and then there was silence. Alice really did it now. I can imagine it now, Jasper's face going from really concentrated to truly hurtful. Why did Alice say that? Then "Oh no Jasper I'm sorry, please I didn't mean it please forgive me. Jasper?"
"come on Bella we had better see what is happening."
"But Edward" she pleaded. "No Bella it's important"
"Yes. Alice has been a little temperamental lately hasn't she?"
As we ran up to the main house I could hear Rose comforting Alice and Emmett trying to get Jasper to open the door. Even though he could break through it, Esme and Carlisle had taught us better than that. We walked through the door to find Esme in Carlisles lap. He was trying to calm her down, she was dry sobbing into his shirt. "What happened here?" I asked.
Jasper tried to calm everyone down after you guys left and Alice was a little upset until we were half way home. She had a vision then just snapped as we drove down the driveway. Carlisle thought.
By the time he had finished telling me Bella had dragged me over to the couch where she was leaning her head on Esme's shoulder and was rubbing her back. I sat on the floor in front of where Esme's feet would have been if she hadn't curled herself up into a ball on Carlisle's lap. I started searching through her mind to see how she was but all I could find was the look on Jasper's face when Alice had yelled at him. We sat there for hours when I realised it was almost 8am, We had to go get Nessie and Jacob so we could go for breakfast at Charlie's.
I got up and kissed Esme's cheek and whispered just loud enough for her to hear "It will be ok Esme. They are like Nessie and Jake, There were meant to be." That brought a smile to her face.I took Bella's hand and she gave me a 'Will she be ok' look and I nodded slightly. As we walked out the front door I turned to Carlisle and told him we would be at Charlie's and to call if they needed us.
We got to La Push pretty quickly when we came across an all too familiar scent. Sam and Emily had gone on their honey moon a few months ago; it was about time they came home. I really hope they enjoyed it. We kept running until we could see Billy's little red house then we slowed to a walk. Nessie came running out the front door and leapt into me with her arms wide ready for a hug and Jacob was right behind her. "Hey Bells, Edward. How did Alice take losing last night? And Jasper what was the bet? Couple oh hundred wasn't it? Not too big of a lose for him then. Ha," he said greeting us.
That's when Bella tensed up. Even as a vampire she had a problem with lying. 'Mum what happened? Is everything ok?" Nessie asked picking up on her mother's reaction.
"Don't worry about it at the moment please?" I begged in a way.
"No Dad if something is wrong I would like to know please. You hav.." I interrupted.
"Renesme Carlie Cullen if you do not drop the subject right now you won't be going out today with Jacob and Seth."
"Fine," she stormed off into get her stuff from the house.
Bella and I stuck our heads in the door and said hello to Billy. He was watching some show before he and Charlie went shopping again today. Then we left, Jake and Nessie in the Rabbit and Bella and me my volvlo.
