BLAME IT ON THE RAIN

Edward's POV

"No you haven't! You and mom have been working nonstop since I was freaking three years old! I cook; I clean and go to school without you or mom helping me. You're always at the station and mom is always working! So don't sit there and tell me not to be independent when someone in this freaking family needs too!" I turned my head to look at Bella Swan shout at her father and I was in shock.

Chief Swan nodded his head at tutor girl, stood up, kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. I can't believe she yelled at her father like that, but I still didn't like her and Emmett.

Before I knew it, I was speaking to her. "Damn tutor girl, didn't know you had it in you."

Her brown eyes flared as I spoke to her and she snapped. "Shut up, Edward!"

I just smirked and shook my head, but then groaned when I felt my shoulder ache in pain. "Dad," I whined out loud.

"Edward, shut up." I heard him shout; I looked and saw that he was helping a nurse put a pink cast on Victoria's ankle.

I rolled my eyes as I heard her complain even worse than I was doing. "Dr. Cullen, that fucking hurts!" she cried out as my father barely touched her. I saw him roll his blue eyes and continue working on her ankle.

"Aww, are you sad daddy dearest won't come take care of you?" I heard Mike say. I looked over at the dickhead and saw his two black eyes that Riley had given him.

I smirked. "Nah, Mike. How are those black eyes?"

Mike turned his head away and another nurse that was in the room went over towards him. "Mike your parents have discharged you." She told him as she helped him up and out of the door.

"Good riddance." I muttered and I heard Bella scoff beside me.

"Do you have a problem?" I asked her point blank.

She rolled her eyes and looked at me. "Stop being a jerk, Mike didn't do anything to you."

"Yeah he didn't do anything to be, but he's been trying to make a move on one of my best friend's girlfriend." I stated.

Her eyes went soft and nodded but didn't say anything else to me. When my father finished helping with Victoria, he came over to me and gave me some morphine for the pain in my shoulder which knocked me out after five minutes of inserting it into my drip.

Bella's POV

As soon as Edward was out, I asked Carlisle to come here. "I'm sorry for the yelling, Dr. Cullen."

He sat in the seat next to me and smiled. "It's all right Bella. Edward yells at me 24/7, so it's understandable."

I shook my head. "It's not that simple. I feel terrible for what I said to my father, but he doesn't take emotional breakdowns well….well neither do I, but I try." I told him.

"I've known your father for a long time and he understands Bella," he spoke and I nodded but didn't say anything for a minute. I felt so bad for what I did to my dad. Even though we hardly see each other, I was just tired of involving my parents in my drama.

"Is there any way the next time I come into the hospital, knowing me, there will be a next time….can you put my emergency contact as….umm….Sarah McCarty?"

I saw his eyes go surprised. "Yes I can….but why Sarah?" he asked with a sadness in his voice.

I sighed and sat up a little bit. "Sarah has raised Emmett since he was born…and when he brought me home from school one day in Kindergarten, Sarah took me in like I was her own child when my parents couldn't be there for me. She makes sure Emmett walks me home every night to make sure I don't get hurt. I help wait tables in the café when she needs it and I love her like a mother." I expressed to Carlisle.

He nodded, grabbed my chart from the end of the bed and opened it up. He marked out something on the chart and wrote something new on my paperwork. He finished and handed the chart to me and I looked at it.

Emergency Contact: Sarah Lucia McCarty
Number: (202) – 679 – 8091
Relation: Godmother

I looked at Carlisle in shock when he called Sarah my godmother. "She's not my godmother though," I stated handing the chart back to him.

He nodded his head. "Yes she is. Your parents named her your godmother when you were seven years old."

This was news to me. "But…how? When?" I asked shocked.

"Remember when you came into the hospital for your broken finger? You were seven years old and Sarah rushed you in immediately. She was there for you all night while you were getting your finger fixed up. She called Charlie and Renée, but they couldn't make it because they were busy. She told them she couldn't sign off on any papers because she was not related to you. So Charlie and Renée told her to sign off as your godmother."

I was shocked but I remembered that incident when I was seven. Emmett and I were playing at the park with Sarah and Ezra and I had decided I wanted to go swing, but I would need Emmett to push me. Well he pushed a little too hard and my finger got tangled in the chain as I fell and I broke it. A clean break.

"Afterwards, Sarah took you home and she had a final talk to Renée and Charlie about what they had said and they made it final."

"But how do you know about the final decision?" I asked curiously.

"Like I said, your father and I go way back and we are really good friends." I nodded and gave him a soft smile.

"Thanks for talking with me Dr. Cullen." I whispered.

He sighed, "Don't call me Dr. Cullen. Call me Carlisle." I laughed and he placed my chart at the foot of bed again and went to check on Edward and Victoria again.

This has been one hell of a day….

The next day….

Seeing as though it was Friday, I was going to school even if what had happened yesterday. Well that was the plan until Emmett showed up at my doorstep this morning.

After he blew up yesterday in the hospital, he sent for his mother to come pick me up and she brought me home. She wanted to stay with me, but I told her that I was going to be perfectly fine and not to worry about. She laughed and said "Oh Bella, I always worry about you." I laughed and shook my head and before I stepped out of her car, she grabbed my hand.

"Emmett will come around, you know he will." I nodded and had gone inside my house.

That was last night and now that it was morning, I really just wanted to move on from the events of yesterday.

"I'm sorry for walking out like that yesterday, Bella." I heard come out of Emmett's mouth as soon as I opened my front door. I just gave him a smile and let him in. I went towards the kitchen to finish making my toaster strudels, knowing Emmett was going to want one and started putting icing on them.

Emmett grinned as he sat at the counter and looked through the rectangle cut out that looked into my kitchen. I handed him a plate of two strawberry toaster strudels and a glass of orange juice. I did the same for me, but stayed in the kitchen and just looked forward at my best friend.

"It's all good Emmie," I spoke, using the nickname I gave Emmett when I was six years old.

"I feel like an asshole for walking out like that though. My best friend was in the hospital because of that Fuckward and I walked out because of my father. I should have been there." He told me, drinking his juice.

I just laughed and then stopped when I felt a slight pain in my head. I grabbed my pain meds that Carlisle had given me and took one and downed it with my juice. Emmett saw me do that and was automatically worried.

"Bella you're not going to school in pain are you?" he asked with a raised brow.

I nodded, "Of course I am. I've never missed a day and I'm not going to start now."

Emmett shook his head and grabbed his blackberry torch and started texting someone. I tried to look at who he was texting, but he held the phone away from me. When he placed his phone back in his pocket, he had a smug expression on his face.

"What did you do?" I asked my hands on my hips.

He rolled his blue eyes at me and shook his head. "I'm not telling you."

"Emmett McCarty Cullen! Tell me!" I shouted.

Before he could tell me, my cellphone rang. I grabbed my dingy flip phone and saw Sarah's name light up. I glared at Emmett and flipped my phone over, accepting the call. "Hi Sarah," I muttered.

"You better be in bed right now, getting rest Isabella Marie Swan." She growled out at me.

"Sarah, I'm not missing a day of school. I'm perfectly fine." I whined.

I heard Sarah sigh. "Too late, honey. I already called the school; Mrs. Cope says you're excused for the day and she said since you were in the hospital, she talked to Mr. Greene and he's not counting today against you." No way!

"Are you kidding me?" I asked seriously.

She laughed, "No, I'm not kidding Bella."

I sighed and looked up at Emmett. "Thank you Sarah," I whispered into the phone.

"Anytime honey," she told me. We talked for another minute or two before we hung up.

When I shut my phone, I glared at my best friend. "You had to do that, didn't you? You know I can't say no to your mother!"

Emmett's booming laugh filled my house and he just smirked. "That's exactly why I didn't text her."

I shot my eyes towards his. "What are you talking about? Who did you text?"

Emmett smirked. "Rosalie Hale."

I gapped at him. "No way!" I shouted and we shared a fist bump between us, a thing we casually did.

Emmett nodded. "Yeah, we've been texting for a few days now." He told me which brought me back to that day at the café where Rosalie was talking to Emmett.

"What did Rosalie say to you that day outside the café?" I asked curiously.

Emmett just laughed, "She told me to keep my chin up and then told me her cell phone number."

I laughed and shook my head, "You devil you," I spoke and drank some more of my juice.

"Yeah, I didn't want to tell you yet, I wanted to keep you guessing," he told me with a smirk plastered onto his face.

I rolled my eyes and put my dishes in the sink and made eye contact with him. "Put those dishes in the sink, mister." I said pointing my finger at him.

He laughed, "Yes mother."

After Emmett had left for school, I was home alone. There wasn't anything to do at all. The house was spick and span. Laundry was done, my room was clean, the front yard was nice, the bathrooms were clean and I had nothing to do.

I had been texting Emmett all morning long, bored out of my mind. I decided to watch a movie and asked for Emmett's input on what I should watch.

Right now it was Inception vs. The Hitcher.

Emmie M's: I'm telling you Bells, Inception is amazing. Watch it.

I sighed and looked at the two DVDs on my coffee table. Inception truly was amazing but the newer version of The Hitcher was really good as well.

Me: I don't know Emmie…Sophia Bush kicks ass in The Hitcher.

I texted him back and waited for his response while I looked at the two movies.

Emmie M's: That is true. Sophia Bush can kick some hardcore stranger danger ass.

I laughed out loud when I read Emmett's text and just shook my head.

Me: But then again, Leo D. is a really good dream inceptor.

Emmie M's: Bells, Inception is good for Leo D. but Soph B. is good…real good.

I laughed and decided. The Hitcher it is.

Me: Sophia Bush wins Emmie! Thank you budddd.

Emmie M's: Any time trouble maker. :D

After watching The Hitcher, I looked to the clock on the wall and saw that it was 2:47 PM. Emmett would be getting out of school soon and I hoped to go he was coming by my place.

When 3 o'clock rolled around I got a text from Emmett.

Emmie M's: I'm coming by to pick you up. We're going to the café.

I smiled and got up to get ready. I went up the stairs to my room and put my sneakers on and my cardigan. I grabbed my Foley and Corinna Shoulder bag. Now I'm not into designer stuff, but my mother is and always gets me these designer bags and this one I happened to like. It is a golden yellow shoulder bag and hangs down by my butt and what not. It's cute and I've had it for years, my mom always insists on getting me a new one but I liked this one. It was worn out and that's just how I liked it.

I heard the honk of a horn and rushed down the stairs. I grabbed my pain meds, phone, keys and went out the door, locking it behind me. I saw Emmett's jeep and got in.

"I'm so glad you are picking me up, Em." I remarked as soon as I got my seat belt on and Emmett took off towards the café.

Emmett laughed as he turned his right signal on and turned down the street. "Was Belly Boo bored without big strong and smart Emmie M?" he spoke in a childish voice.

I laughed and pushed his shoulder as we came to a stop sign. "Big and strong, but smart?" I spoke with a finger on my chin.

Emmett rolled his eyes and continued drawing. "Ohhh you're mean Bells." He confirmed and I just shook my head.

When he pulled into the parking lot of the café, he turned the car off and we both got out. He opened the door for me and I saw that the café was barely full. I saw Sarah talking to Officer Leland at the counter and I went up to them.

Sarah was laughing at something Officer Leland said but when she saw me, her smile brightened. "Bella! I'm so glad you're doing better!" she squealed and smiled placing a hand over my hand that was resting on the counter.

I smiled. "Thank you mama Sarah!" She smiled and grabbed a rag and started to wipe the counter. I looked to Officer Leland right next to me and I could tell that my father had told him about my argument with him.

I sighed. "Is he mad at me Leland?"

Leland sighed and turned towards me and his hazel eyes met my brown eyes. "No Bella, he's not mad….a little upset but he knows you were in pain and probably didn't mean it."

"Leland…I did mean what I said…." I trailed off.

Leland looked at me. "Look Bella, this is none of my business, but I think you should apologize to your dad. He's upset about you and him fighting."

I nodded and gave him a soft smile. "Thanks Leland…if you talk to him, can you tell him that I'll call him later?" I asked him.

Leland looked at me for a minute before nodding his head. "Yeah of course. Well I gotta head back to the station; I only stopped by for a bite to eat. We got a dead guy up in the woods." Leland told me, the last part quietly.

I nodded, understanding his job. I gave him a farewell and watched as he left the café. I turned my attention towards Emmett who was now standing behind the counter talking to his mom.

"Ma, I'm telling you if we add a Philly to the menu, we'll get more business!" Emmett exclaimed, his blue eyes filled excitement. Sarah rolled her eyes and just looked between me and her son.

"Bella, if I put Philly cheese steak on the menu, would people come in to eat more?" I raised my eyebrow at Sarah's question and looked at Emmett who was behind her telling me to say yes to his mother.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know Sarah…I'm not a Philly cheese kind of girl." I spoke and Emmett glared at me behind his mother.

"Traitor." He growled and I threw my head back in a laugh.

"You just want it on there so you can order it and not have to pay for it." I retorted.

Sarah's eyes grew wide. "No way Emmett! No Philly Cheese steak for you mister!" she snapped her rag at his arm and walked into the back.

Emmett groaned and then looked at me. "You couldn't just go along with my super master idea of a plan?" he whined.

"Oh shush you big baby," I spoke and grabbed a magazine that was lying on the counter.

I saw that the pages were sticky. "Emmett, have you been using this magazine in the bathroom?" I smirked.

Emmett boomed out a laugh. "Is it the swimsuit edition?" he remarked with a quirked eyebrow.

"No it's 'MY BEST FRIEND IS AN IDIOT' edition." I smirked.

Emmett stuck is middle finger at me right as his mother came out of the back and saw him do that. "Emmett McCarty Cullen!" she shouted at her son and slapped him on the back of his head.

"Geez Ma!" Emmett remarked rubbing the back of his now sore head.

I smirked and just shook my head. I heard the sound of my phone ringing and grabbed it out of my bag. I looked and saw that it was my mother. I groaned and Emmett looked up at me, so I showed him my phone.

"Bell, you're on your own." He spoke, raiding his hands up in defense.

I groaned and answered my phone knowing that if I don't then my mother would keep calling until I would answer. "Hello mom."

"Bella! You need to apologize to your father!" she shouted at me on the phone.

I sighed. "I know mom. I will later when I call him…."

I heard her speak to someone, probably Esme. "Bella….I'm sorry that you feel that way…." She spoke.

"It doesn't matter…how's New York?" I asked, changing the subject.

She sighed. "It's going good. Esme and I will be home soon…oh and Esme got a call from Carlisle the other day with Emmett and Edward getting into a fight during class…is that true honey?"

I heard her do something and I believe she put me on speakerphone. She always did this when she was around Esme and she asked a question about the two Cullen brothers.

"Hello Esme," I spoke.

A soft spoke voice came on the line. "Hello Bella, how are you dear?"

I smiled, "I'm fine, thanks for asking…about ya'll question…It was actually sort of my fault but Emmett took most of it for me."

"How so?" both women chimed in together and gave a laugh.

I groaned. "Okay so Edward sits in front of me in Biology…well I called his head a big head because I couldn't see the board and well he turned around and then Emmett and him got into it." I spoke not saying exactly what they said to each other that day.

I heard both women laugh. "Oh Bella, don't worry about Edward, he'll come around. He's just in that teenage hormonal boy state." Esme spoke and I winced.

I did not need to know about Edward's hormonal stage.

I heard the door to the café open and I turned around. My eyes widen and I grabbed the magazine I was holding and threw it at Emmett's head.

"Ouch! Fuck, Bella!"

"Isabella Swan, what did you do!" I heard my mother shout on the phone.

I laughed. "Emmett look whose here!" I squealed.

Emmett's eyes turned towards the door and his grin widened. "Ezra!" he shouted.

I heard a sharp intake of breath on the phone. It was Esme. "Ezra's there, Bella?" she asked, seeing as the man was her brother-in-law.

I winced. "Yes, Esme he is." I told her honestly.

She sighed. "Can I talk to him for a moment, please?" she asked sincerely. I didn't really know what to say. I mean Ezra didn't mind Esme; it wasn't her fault that Ezra and Carlisle didn't get along.

"I'll ask him, hold on." I spoke and placed my phone on the counter.

I ran over to where Emmett was in a tight hug with Ezra and laughing. I pinched Emmett in the side and he backed away rubbing his arm. "Damn it Bella, stop hurting me!"

I laughed and ran into Ezra's already opened arms. This man was like a father to me like Sarah was a mother to me. "Oh my gosh, you how much you've grown Bella!" Ezra exclaimed.

I laughed and hugged him. "You saw me a month ago, Ezra!" I spoke.

He laughed, throwing his head back. "But you've grown an inch!" he informed me.

I just shook my head and looked at Emmett. "Sorry Emmie! I had to hug him first." I remarked with a smirk and he flipped me the bird.

Ezra laughed at our banter. And then I remembered the phone call. "Oh! Hey Ezra…Esme is on the phone…she wants to talk to you."

Ezra looked at me for a second and then nodded. I went and grabbed my phone and handed it to him. "Hello? Esme?"

Ezra walked away from Emmett and me and talked on the phone with Esme. "What is that about?" Emmett asked.

I looked at my best friend. "Esme wanted to talk to him." He nodded and turned away towards his mother.

Sarah walked over towards us and smiled. "Is that Ezra?" she asked with a huge smile on her face. If anyone could tell, it would be that Sarah McCarty is in love with Ezra Cullen.

I laughed and nodded. "Yes Ma'am."

She smiled. "Gosh, I hate when he travels to promote his business." She rambled and I gave her a soft smile.

Emmett stood next to Sarah and put a hand on her shoulder. "I think he might be done with traveling." He told us.

"How so?" Sarah asked her son.

"Because he told me so before Bella came and pinched me." I laughed and Sarah pushed my shoulder slightly.

"This is great!" Sarah exclaimed and smiled at the two of us.

"What's great?" Ezra asked coming back up towards us and handing me my phone back, which was shut. I guess my mother didn't want to finish talking to me. Oh well.

"Are you staying in town for good now?" Sarah asked him.

Ezra laughed. "Emmett you big goofball, I was going to tell her!" he shouted hitting Emmett in the arm.

Emmett growled. "Why is everybody hitting me!" he shouted and we all laughed.

I smiled as we all sat down and talked about what Ezra was doing the past month why he was up in Tacoma, Seattle and Portland. I saw Emmett smile and Sarah laugh and I knew that this was Emmett's family. His real family that he could count on. I mean yes, Carlisle Cullen is his father and yes Edward Cullen is his half-brother…but Ezra and Sarah were his family…and I was like his sister.

I'm just glad I'm his family too because this is the best family I've ever had in a while.

What did ya think?
BE HONEST.
Review please?
