I looked at her door and sighed. Mom and dad hadn't been in there since the day she left. Mom hasn't been in the house since about a year ago. Bella did this to us, all because she was too damn bored. I huffed and walked downstairs to see Rosalie, who was already ready for the day, cooking up breakfast for my dad and I. She has been doing this since about a month after my mom left.
"Thanks, babe," I said as I walked up to her and put my arms around her as she scrambled some eggs. I placed a kiss on her temple as she put the cooked eggs on a plate and some fruit.
"You know I don't mind at all, hon," she said as she kissed my cheek. "Here, Charlie." Almost in the same moment Charlie was in the kitchen.
"Rose, you know you don't have to do this, right?" said Charlie as he dug into his eggs. Rosalie chuckled and handed me my dish.
"Thanks, love," I said with a short kiss on her lips. God, I loved this woman. Rose got herself a banana and sat on the couch next to me. We quickly finished our breakfast and quickly headed off to school.
As always, Rosalie was silent the whole ride. This time however, she had a look in her eyes; something like fear and anxiety. I brushed her beautiful blonde hair behind her ear and said: "What's wrong, Rosalie?"
"I don't know, Em. Ever since I woke up this morning I have had a feeling that something wrong will go wrong," she said as she grabbed my hand. "But don't worry about me; I have my monkey man to protect me." I kissed her hand as we pulled into Forks High parking lot. I pulled into a spot and got out, then opened her door.
"Another day in the purgatory," I mumbled as we headed to the doors, hand in hand. She chuckled just as two very familiar faces passed us, Jasper and Alice.
Rosalie's breath caught as she and her brother looked at each other in the eyes. It was weird that they weren't giving each other the evil eye. Instead, Jasper had has arm around Alice's shoulders and a worn out look on his face.
I hated that things had to be this way. Losing a sibling is terrible; I wouldn't want either of them to have any idea of what it's like. With a sigh, Rose and I continued to our first period, which was math.
The day went on slowly. I got a major headache after fifth period and did not feel like listening to Mr. Greene go on and on about mitosis. Seriously, a complete waste of my time. When the bell rang, it was like hearing the angels sing…I must be on crack.
I was greeted with Rosalie's beautiful face as she confidently strode out of the crowded school. Believe it or not, most people who didn't know her thought she was just a cold hearted bitch. She was nothing of the sort and took every ounce of my being not to pounce at the jerk offs who think they know my girlfriend better than me.
"Hey," I said as I pulled her in for a long kiss. I needed that so much. She said hello back and then we got in my Jeep. She got that same nervous look on her face as we neared home. Something was seriously up. She was silent as I pulled to a stop at home, unsurprisingly. She offered to make me a sandwich when we got inside and I politely declined.
We spent the rest of our time together doing homework and watching Invader Zim. Even though it's a cartoon, Rose and I still love it to bits. Around 5 Charlie got home, saying, as always, that today was slow. He watched the Mariners and said we could just order pizza for tonight.
The ring of the doorbell startled us. "I'll get it," said Rose as she got up from beside me on the couch. I figured it was the pizza guy or something. "What the hell are you doing here?" Ok, I did not expect that. I sprung out of my seat and dashed to where Rosalie was standing by the door.
My breath caught in my throat. She was there, but she was completely different. Instead of her hair being the chocolate brown it once was, it was a muddy brown that looked warn out, same for her hair. She was deadly pale and way too skinny for it to be healthy. The shirt and pants she wore were too big on her and looked like they were ages old. I couldn't see the expression on her face because her hair covered half of her face.
"Bella," I said in a shaky voice. Why was she here?
"Hi, Em." Her voice was small, and scratchy.
"What's the hold up?" came my father's voice. Oh crap, he is going to flip. Fear flashed in Bella's eyes as our father spoke. He walked over to us, but both Rosalie and I were too shocked to tell him not to. That was a big mistake our part. "Bella?"
"Yeah, dad, it's me," she said with fear in her eyes. Why the hell would she be afraid of our father?
"Um, Rosalie, do you think you could with your folks for tonight?" asked Charlie in a shaky tone. She responded yes and quickly walked to her car in our driveway. Charlie nodded for Bella to come in the house and she quickly complied. We quietly walked to the couch and chair and sat in silence for a moment before I finally spoke up.
"Why did you leave?" I asked, regaining calm and confidence. She sighed and looked around for a moment before answering.
"I went through one of those phases teenagers go through. I felt as though my place wasn't here in Forks. I would say that I wish I could redo that mistake, but I don't deserve that and I would have never learned what the real world is like," she said in a slow tone. Somehow, I had a strong feeling that not all of that statement was true.
"Why didn't you call or write us, even?" I asked in a louder voice.
"I was upset with myself and didn't wan to interrupt your guys'" I cut her off before she could finish.
"Bullshit. You knew that we were nervous. Do you have any idea of how terrible it was to think you could have gotten hurt? I hope you and Edward are happy. You ruined so many lives. Rosalie and Jasper don't even talk to each other. You made mom leave us," I was fuming in rage as I ranted on and on.
"What does Edward have to do with this?" she asked with obvious confusion.
"You ran away with him," I stated.
"No I didn't. I left by myself," she choked out. What?
"Then where did he go?" I asked.
"How am I supposed to know? I haven't spoken to him since I left. He could have gone anywhere," she yelled back. I guess she really didn't know where he was. "And what do you mean mom left you two?" Crap.
"About a year ago your mom left us. She said she was too depressed and she couldn't handle it." Charlie's comment reminded me that he was here. I could see tears start to form in her eyes.
"Why are you here?" I asked in a quieter, calmer voice. She bit her lip as she contemplated on what she was going to say.
"I know I don't deserve a yes, but I need a place to stay. My apartment was caught in a fire and I need a place to stay while it's being remodeled. I know you're probably wondering why I don't just ask a friend for this, but I thought that I should come back to Forks and see what I've done," she said in a sad tone. She was really serious.
"Ok," said my father at the same time I said no. She looked both happy and sad as she looked between the two of us. I didn't want her back, we had just started to rebuild our lives, and I am not going to let her ruin it.
"Emmett, give her a chance," whispered my father.
"Fine, but don't expect me to treat you any differently than right now," I said as I got up and left the room. I went outside and started to walk to Rosalie's house. I didn't care that it was far away and raining, I just needed to see her.
Ten minutes later I was at her door step and knocking on the door. She answered it quickly. I gave her a hug and said that I needed to stay with her tonight. She said ok and since her parents like me, we headed upstairs to her room. I didn't say anything as I lay down on her bed and stared at the ceiling.
She was back. Bella was back. The thing I was trying to put out of my mind for the past two years was back.
Hello my awesome people that read this story. I swear I haven't been procrastinating this chapter. It's just that I have had tons of school work and my computer crashed. Also, I know this chapter is short, but that's because the first few chapters be filler chapters. Leave me some cyber love. Peace out
