SORRY IT'S SO LATE. I HAD CHURCH, THEN I WENT TO MY COUSINS HOUSE. BUT I'M UPDATING SO DON'T COMPLAIN.


EPOV

I stared longingly as as she walked up the stairs, cooing to the bird. Alice still looked disgusted.

"What?" I asked.

"Did you see that?"

I nodded.

"You have to ask! Did you see the way she babied that...that thing?"

"He is NOT a thing!" Bella yelled at us from the stairs. Her face was shocking, the beauty was all gone. The veins underneath her eyes were standing out and she was starring at a Alice, looking ready to kill.

"Now, now, Isabella." Damon's sarcastic voice said from behind me. "Don't show your fangs."

Bella's face was instantly normal. She ran forward and threw herself into Damon's arms. He held her tightly to his chest and kissed her hair.

Stefan and Elena walked down stairs and Damon let Bella go.

Elena smiled at us then walked over to Damon. He wouldn't meet her eyes but hugged her tight when she put her arms around him. Stefan didn't like that.

"Hello Damon." Was all he said.

"Oh don't be so formal. Come on, hug me, too." Stefan rolled his eyes and looked at me.

"We'll be in the living room, follow me." Alice did. Elena and i started to, but Damon held her back.

"We need to talk." He whispered, all sarcasm gone.

"There's nothing to say." She whispered.

"Elena, please?"

"Damon, I have nothing to say to you."

Pain crossed his face. Then anger.

"Fine." He growled.

He turned and walked up the stairs. Bella gave Elena a look, then sighed.

"Damon, wait." Bella said. She ran up the stairs after him, and I felt bad.

Elena was starring after him, but turned and walked to the living room.

I looked at the stairway one more time then sighed. I made my way into the living room.

Not even an hour later Bella came downstairs. She looked at Elena with a harsh expression then turned to Stefan.

"It's time for Edward and Alice to go." She said. Stefan nodded.

"Why do you Scotch?"

"It's for Damon." She snapped.

"Damon doesn't need to drink as soon as he gets home." Stefan said.

"Damon can drink when ever he'd like. You're not his boss."

"But I am yours."

"First, Damon is my legal guardian. Second, I don't give a damn what you tell me. I'll do what I when I want." Bella snapped. She turned on her heel and walked off.

"Since when was she so...mean?" Alice asked.

"Since she started to follow Damon's lead." Stefan whispered.

I sighed, glad tonight was over.
