Encounter With Emo-Eddie
(APOV)
So, I cleaned the house, put flowers in all the vases, dusted the furniture, cleaned my room. Got out movies… Hmm what to do? I wondered as I ran around the house like a mad person. Emmett was at Jasper's house with Corin for the entire weekend and Edward was supposed to join them an hour or so after Bells arrived. I was hyper…but hoping my brother would leave sooner. My other half was upstairs with Edward… The door was open but whenever I looked through the door they were simply listening to the same Ipod in complete silence. I never understood why Annie ever bothered with my brother. He was being such an inconsiderate a-hole… I missed my real, happy, nice, charming, funny brother. Annie seemed to be the only person who could stand to be in the same room as him.
"ANNIE! WE HAVE TO GO GET BELLS! IF YOU ARE NOT DOWN HERE IN FIVE SECONDS I AM TAKING YOUR CAMARO!" I shouted loudly. Within a second Annabelle was at the top of the stairs with Eddie at her side. She turned and patted Edwards back. She gave him the 'sorry but it's my car' look, kissed him on the cheek and ran down the stairs. "Darn… four seconds flat." I sighed.
"We can still take the car…as long as I drive." Annie smiled. She grabbed her keys and ran to the door. I got in the passenger seat next to her as she started the car.
"So…how can you stand to be with Eddie?"
"Don't call him that, you know he hates it." Annabelle sighed.
"Well?" I pressed further.
"You wouldn't understand." Annabelle sighed. "We're here." She grinned as she opened the door to her car. She walked up to the door and waited for me. I followed her and knocked on the door.
"SPECIAL DELIVERY!" We shouted at Bella at the same time.
"Ah! The Twin Terrors!" Bells called us by our nickname teasingly. Annabelle took a bow and I popped my collar teasingly.
"That's us." I grinned. Bella let us come in and the first thing I saw was here father slowly walking down the stairs.
"Who are you talking to Bells…?" Charlie wondered.
"Oh, these are the friends I'm staying with this weekend, Annie and Alice." We waved in sync.
"Ah, the Cullen girls, nice to meet you." Charlie smiled as he shook our hands.
"Nice to meet you too." Annabelle grinned. Charlie looked slightly shocked, Annabelle was the shy, quiet charmer. Everyone who met her fell in love with her. And everyone who met me did the same. We were the opposite…but the same at the same time.
"Well Bells, I have to go get ready for work. Have a fun time."
"I will." Bella smiled. She ran up the stairs and came down with a solitary bag. I gapped at her. Annie lifted my chin back to its rightful place. HOW COULD ANYONE HAVE SUCH A SMALL BAG? GOOD GOD! I shouted in my head.
"Ready to go, Bells?" Annie asked.
"Yup…" Bella smiled. We led her out to the car. Annie popped the trunk so that I could stow-away Bella's stuff. Annie drove while Bella and I sat in the back. It was comfortable silence for the entire ride until we were in view of our house. "WOW!" Bella exclaimed. "It's beautiful."
"Thanks…" Annie said. "Alice and I did the front garden all by ourselves." Annie teased. I smiled at the memory, that was perhaps the best dirt fight ever. She pulled into the garage and got out of the car. She grabbed Bella's bag and took it inside while I grabbed Bells hand and half-dragged her with me. "Alli you can give Bella the tour… I have to go talk to Edmo…" I nearly laughed at this statement. Edmo was everyone else's nickname for Edward…or Emo-Eddie….though he hated them both.
(AbPOV)
I sat on the floor while Ed sat on the bed. He had his hood pulled over most of his face and his eyes were closed as we listened.
(When this began) I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
And I let it all out to find That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Just stuck, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
I wanna heal, I wanna feel Like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong
And I've got nothing to say I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
Looking everywhere only to find That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
What do I have but negativity? Cause I can't justify way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
I wanna heal, I wanna feel Like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong
I will never know Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be Anything till I break away from me
I will break away I'll find myself today
I wanna heal, I wanna feel What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
I wanna heal, I wanna feel Like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel Like I am somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel Like I am somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong…
Words flowed… All heavy music… There was no classical, country, pop…nothing light. Linkin Park came again blaring in my ears. Which was perfectly fine with me…I could be their poster girl. I heard Edward whisper along with the song, so I joined in.
"'I don't know what's worth fighting for…"
"Or why I have to scream…"
"I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean."
"I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright" We began to harmonize perfectly. "So I'm breaking the habit, tonight…"
"Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door. I try to catch my breath again… I hurt much more…than any time before. I have no options left again…" I sighed and turned down the volume. I stood up carefully and sat next to Edward on the edge of his bed. I pulled his hoddie off of his face.
"Are you going to be alright?"
"What do you think, Annabelle?" Edward asked in a put-out voice.
"I think all wounds heal in time." I shrugged. Edward frowned and ran his finger along the scar on the side of my neck. I jerked away from his touch reflexively. "It's almost gone."
"No it isn't. It's still there. That's why it took you four years to allow guys to even look at you. That's why everything is so hard for you at times. That's why you and I still get along…" Edward sighed.
"But I'm healing!" I insisted. "You should too. You should tell the rest of the family… They should know about this… They can help you."
"We can help you with what, Edmo?" Alice asked from the hallway. "Knock, knock." Alice added lightly Bella was at her side, looking towards the ground.
"Nothing," Edward answered immediately.
(BPOV)
That voice was like pure velvet, yet it was sad. Edward sat up and glared at Alice. "Why are you here anyway?" Edward asked harshly. He was beautiful, but angry and far too sad. His green eyes were dark and confused.
"Just showin' my best friend around, Emo-Eddie. Do you have a problem with that?" Edward opened his mouth to say something but Annie put her hand on his shoulder, and whispered into his ear. Edward sighed and relaxed. His anger seemed to melt away just a little bit.
"Hello, Bella." Edward said softly.
How in the world does he know my name? I wondered. "Um… Hi." I smiled and waved slightly.
"I told him your name." Annabelle chuckled and kissed Edward on the cheek. "Remember this is a girl's night… So unless you want to be a Barbie…I suggest you leave within the next few hours to hang with Em, Jaz, and Cori…" Annabelle stood up and walked towards us. "Oh and tell Cori I said 'hi'."
"Will do… There is no way I am becoming a Barbie. Nice to meet you Bella."
"Nice to meet you too." I said as Annie and Alice dragged me back down to the living room.
"Wow, he wasn't grumpy today." Alice sighed in a happy tone
"He was a little grumpy…" I acknowledged.
"Grumpy is when he tries to rip your head off." Alice sighed. "Game time!"
"I think Ten Fingers should be first." Annabelle exclaimed.
"I agree." Alice sighed.
"How do you play that game?"
"Everyone holds up all of their fingers. One person says something and if you've done it one of your fingers goes down. The last person standing wins." Alice said in one breath. "I'LL START!" Alice paused for a moment as she held up all of her fingers. "Ever left your keys locked in a truck?" Me and Annie put a finger down.
"Ever had a boyfriend?" I asked. Annabelle and Alice put their fingers down.
"Ever have a twin?" Annie asked, Alice shot her a dirty look and lowered her finger.
"Ever fallen off a cliff?" Alice wondered. I lowered my finger but no one else did. We were tied.
"Ever been ice skating?" I asked. Alice lowered a finger and Annie laughed.
"THANK GOD I BROKE MY ANKLE THAT DAY! YAY!" Annie thought or a moment. "Ever killed a pet?" Alice and I put another finger down. Annie had 8 fingers, I had 7, and poor Alice had 6.
"Ever had a scar that lasted for 6 years?" Alice asked. Annie frowned and lowered a finger.
"ALICE!" A voice growled from upstairs. Edward stood there in a tight-fitting white shirt that showed off his perfect abs. "That was not right in any way, shape, or form!" He yelled at her. "You should know better!" He snapped.
"It's okay, Edward." Annie said in a weak, soft voice.
"No! It's not! It's rude and impolite!" Edward shouted at Alice.
"Alli, I'm fine… K-keep going." Annie suggested. I couldn't take my eyes away from Edward. He was so livid about God knows what. What was so significant about a scar?
"Alli… I better not catch you using anything like that again to win a game… It's not funny." Edward hissed. Annie stood up suddenly and glared at Edward.
"I SAID I AM FINE! I understand and appreciate what you are trying to do! But don't yell at Alice like that, you'll make her cry." And sure enough, Alice had tears in her eyes. Annie wrapped her arms around Alice. "You know I'm alright…" Annie whispered in her ear. "I'll be right back." Annie stomped up the stairs and grabbed Edward by the ear, which was an almost comical sight, seems how she was more than a foot shorter than he was. She dragged him out of sight. I slid next to Alice and wrapped my arms around her.
"H-he's right. I shouldn't have said that." Alice said sadly. There were shouts from upstairs and then the sound of a door slamming. Annie walked to the stairs with a red face. A door swung open slowly upstairs.
"Sorry, Annie B." Edward whispered.
"I'm not the one you should apologize to." Annie said stiffly as she walked down the stairs. Edward ran down the stairs. He was dressed in jeans and a black hoodie that he seemed to care for so much.
"Sorry Ali…" Edward said kissing her spiky hair.
"Yeah, yeah… You'll be back to your normal grumpy self later." Alice said sharply.
"I know…but I owed Annie… So I guess we're even." He walked out of the house and pulled away in his shiny Volvo.
"Well, that was pleasant." Annie sighed.
"Definitely." Alice said wiping her tears away. "He was actually pretty calm today."
"Yeah… He was."
"Calm?" I asked in awe.
"He…hasn't been himself for a few months… Dad thinks he's going through a depression. He only seems to listen to Annie. He was getting better, until a few weeks ago, then he got worse. He's not normally this way. That's why mom and dad don't kick him out, he'll come around." Alice shrugged. We continued the game, and I won amazingly after explaining that I had never been to Disney world, never been out of the country, and never been to New York.
A/N: It seems like this family has a hidden past... I wonder what that is about...? :P Good or bad? Tell me so i know... ~J
