Chapter 2: Now they know

Carlisle PoV

When I came home from work my family, minus one, was staring at a screen promising the tragic story of Hollywood's newest pop sensation. I wondered why this would hold any interest for my family. After we left Bella music was almost never played in our house. It hurt Esme and Alice too much. It was torture to see beautiful Esme in so much pain; she had lost a son and daughter. Then on the screen I saw a familiar face on the screen, one I never thought I would see again. It couldn't be could it? The TV confirmed my suspicions as the show's host yelled out… "Please welcome Bella Swan!!" My heart dropped as I saw the girl walk over and sit on the couch. The girl held the same empty expression my son's held last time I saw him. She wasn't there anymore. She was empty.

Alice PoV

"Suicidal," said the voice on the TV screen. I gasped, had we hurt her that much? What had Edward said to her the night he left? Not that I thought she would be happy but I thought she would still be Bella, She wasn't Bella anymore. She was too hollow, unhealthy looking, and her voice was sticky sweet, nothing like her old familiar one. He had run like a coward. Last time I saw him was 2 months ago. Now my stupid brother had no way for us to reach him because he wouldn't answer his phone. Bella needed him; I knew that she hadn't just gotten over her depression or suicidal thoughts. I continued to listen as I gazed on in horror as my best friend, my sister, told her devastating story. Something inside of me shattered.

Jasper PoV

I sat by my wife, her face twisted in pain, I tried sending her waves of calm, but they only could do so much. I felt the shock, the hurt and so many other pent up emotions in this room. Emmett was muttering curses under his breath, if vampires could cry Esme would be crying, Carlisle was in shock, even Rosalie was affected by her story, fight back waves of hatred and pity. Everybody was feeling too much and I didn't need my senses to know that Bella was traumatized just saying his name. Suicidal? That wasn't normal, well neither was Bella.

Emmett PoV

I stared at my little sister in shock. Bu the time the harder questions were done I had cursed Edward to hell and back, in many different languages. How could anyone hurt that much and still be alive? Broken so completely and not yet have shattered? The next time Edward decided to come home he was going to have hell to pay for. Nobody…Nobody hurts my little sister!

Rosalie PoV

As I watched the frail human on the screen I was washed over with waves of hatred and pity. Pity for her because she was suffering, I knew without Emmett I would be lost. I couldn't imagine feeling that. Hatred that a small human girl could destroy my family's happiness and make me pity her too. I sat confused by with emotion was stronger.

Esme PoV

I watched as my daughter told these fake people on screen her story. It took all my strength to keep from sobbing and even more to keep from running to her and holding her in arms to comfort her. I knew that if Edward saw this he would have to go back to her. I wished so badly to him and show him this clip, show him how much she hurts, how much she needs him, how much he needs her, how much we all need each other. I would show him and we would be a family. We would be together and happy I knew it.

"You know... Edward is coming back in a week or so. It would be too bad if we happened to record this and have it playing when he came back." Said Alice faking a very innocent tone.

"Hell yeah!!" Emmett yelled, jumping up from his seat. I grabbed the remote and hit record. I was getting my son and my daughter back. The plan was fail proof. Thank God for TiVo!

The Cullens!!! I love writing from each of their PoV! Esme was a little OOC but I think she would have thoughened up a little after losing two "children". Next chapter a old friend comes back!!

Love, Keelz
