I don't own anything twilight. =(
I drove as fast as I could back to my place. I was so overwhelmed. As soon as I got inside my house I broke down sobbing. Seeing my brother again made me happy, but it brought back so many memories that I never wanted to relive again.
Flashback
"Emmett, have you not heard mom and dads fighting?! They're going to get a divorce whether we like it or not and mom will move away!" I screamed at him. We normally didn't fight but even since our parents started fighting, so did we.
"No I don't Isabella. You know what I think?" he asked. But he didn't wait for my answer.
"I think that you have to make up stories and mom and dad so that you can get attention." He said. I was shocked.
"How would you know?" I shouted back at him/ "You are always at Ben's house!"
"Oh come on Isabella. You know that he is going through a rough time right now."
"No he isn't. He's just using you for our money."
He raised his hand, as if he was going to hit me but then he just turned around and walked into the forest. I just stared after him.
Flashback
I had just woken up to somebody screaming.
"ISABELLA!" dad screamed. It sounded like he had been crying, so I ran up to his and mom's bedroom without tripping, for once. When I got there I looked around for dad. He was sitting on the bed leaning over somebody. When I looked more closely, I saw mom with a bottle of Vodka and her sleeping pills in her hand. I was shocked. She had committed suicide just because Emmett had died. I mean he was her favorite, but still. Tears were streaming down my face, but I went to comfort dad. I ended up planning the funeral, which we had a week later.
Flashback
"You're a pathetic excuse for a daughter!" Charlie screamed at me. He pushed me down the stairs and then he ran to get a chair to throw at me.
"You burnt the food!" he yelled. I knew by now just to be quite because if I wasn't then it would just make things a whole lot worst. Be silent or else. I didn't feel the first punch. Or the second. Or the third or the fourth. I didn't feel anything. Not now. Maybe later. But not now. Pain doesn't hurt if it's all you've ever felt. I didn't feel pain. Nothing.
"Belly bean" I was only vaguely aware of Emmett calling my name because I was crying so hard. I didn't care that I probably looked like a baby or if I looked pathetic. I just needed my big brother and for him to tell me that everything is okay and that everything will always be okay. He came over to me and sat me on his lap and I just hugged him. We stayed there like that for a couple hours until my sobs stopped.
"Bella, are you okay?" I looked up at Emmett, who looked really worried.
"Yeah. I needed that." I said.
"Needed that?" he asked, looking confused. I sighed. How could I explain this in a way that my brother can understand?
"I haven't cried like that since before everything happened and I needed that. I've been keeping it in for too long."
"Bella," he groaned. "Please don't keep stuff like that bottled up. If I have to I will ask Jasper to keep an eye on your emotions. But please don't make me do that." And I knew he would. He's really protective and I know that he would go to extremes to protect me, just like he did when we where human. Heck, he would still probably talk to Jasper.
"I won't" I promised.
He smiled. "Now come on, I want you to get to know everybody. Carlisle already called in saying we are sick."
"Emmett" I groaned.
"Bella" he copied.
"Why?" I whined.
"Because everybody loves you and I want you to get to know them and love them too. Plus I want you to get to know Rosalie." He ended with a smile on his face.
"Fine" I said. "But do I have to change out of my pajamas?" He thought about that for a minute.
"Well unless you want to get chewed out by Alice, you don't." I smiled.
"Great!" I yelled.
"You're still my weird little sister." He said.
"You know you still love me." I said.
"Only because I had too" he teased.
"Emmy," I pouted.
"Belly bean," he copied again.
"You know what people like you are called?" I asked him. The question caught him off guard.
"No, what?"
"Copy cats," I said before turning him into a cat.
I smiled and picked him up and put him in my Ferrari. Then I went back inside, put my shoes on, grabbed the rest of my stuff, and went back out to my car. I drove to the Cullen house. I picked up Emmett and my stuff and went inside.
"We're back," I called.
"Hey Bella. Wait why do you have a cat? Where's Emmett?" Alice asked.
Everybody else came in, looking curious.
"Well, Emmett was being a copy cat so I turned him in to a cat." I explained while shrugging.
They all looked at each other and then stared at me before they busted out laughing. Once they had calmed down, I turned Emmett back into his regular form. He started chasing me, but whenever he would get close enough, I would transport myself into somewhere else in the house. Everybody else was having a good time just watching us play.
"Bella! You don't play fair!" he yelled.
I teleported myself behind him and whispered "I don't play fair?" I laughed when he jumped in shock.
"Holy Crap Bella! You scared me!"
I just kept laughing so he said, "Belly bean"
"Emmy"
"Do you mind if we all go hunting for awhile?" he asked while his mind was suddenly filled with images of him and Rosalie "hunting".
"Emmett McCarthy Swan!" I yelled while trying to clear those images from my mind.
"What?" he asked innocently.
"You know what! Do not act all innocent! I am your sister and do not need those images in my head! Go away and hunt while I'll try and forget those images! Go! Go! Go!" I yelled.
They all laughed. Emmett came over and kissed my forehead and turned to leave with everybody else. "
I love you Bella" he thought. I smiled and went to explore the house, which didn't take me very long because I didn't want to go into anybody's bedroom. After I was done, I went out and got my guitar. I went to the coach and sang the song that I've had stuck in my head all day long.
Take all my vicious words
And turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions
And let the truth be understood
Take all my prized possessions
Leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies,
But the song he sings
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
You keep on living anyway
It's not how many times you've been knocked down
It's how many times you get back up
Courage is when you've lost your way,
But you find your strength anyway
Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change,
And you keep on living anyway
You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway
I slowly changed into another song.
Sha la la la la, sha la la la la
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
And you'd hold me close in your arms
I thought of the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holdin' me
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm livin' out my dream
Oh, how I wish you could see
Everything that's happenin' for me
I'm thinkin' back on the past
It's true the time is flyin' by too fast
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
I know you're in a better place yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
I played the last couple of notes and heard clapping. I screamed because I hadn't heard them approach.
"Oh my gosh! Bells I'm so sorry!" Emmett yelled. They were all yelling out apologies and I just let out a shaky laugh.
"It's fine. I didn't hear you guys approach and you scared me." They all gave me a knowing look, all with pity in their eyes. I felt my anger rise because of their pity and Jasper, feeling my anger, changed the subject.
"We didn't know that you could play the guitar." He said. I smiled.
"I taught myself when I was human and I write my own songs. Sometimes me and Emmett would write songs together. It's how I show my emotions." I explained while shrugging.
"Will you play some more for us?" Esme asked gently.
"I'd loved to." I answered.
"What do you guys want to hear?" I asked even though I was already thinking of two songs.
Alice, seeing my two choices, said "I like those. Play them."
She's got a bumper like a billboard
Covered in stickers of her favorite bands
She's got a handful of records that she turns to
When she needs to land
She's a Saturday night parade through the streets
That all eyes come to see including me
She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets
She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it
Says forgiveness ain't nothing but a lifeless tire on the shoulder of her soul
That never rolls
Chorus:
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than heaven
To make the damage of her days disappear
Just like Guinevere
Just like Guinevere
She don't hold onto nothin' new for very long
Yeah she writes you in as just one more tale
and then you're gone
'Cause she once fell hard 'cause she dropped her guard
And no one gets to stay it's just too late
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than heaven
To make the damage of her days disappear
Just like Guinevere
Just like Guinevere
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than heaven
To make the damage of her days disappear
Just like Guinevere
Just like Guinevere
Lean into me Guinevere
Be mine tonight Guinevere
I played Guinevere for them. Me and Emmett wrote this the day before the fight. They clapped when I was done playing it.
"That was Guinevere and we wrote it the day before the fight. This one is called Crush." I said.
I hung up
The phone tonight
Something happened
For the first time
Deep inside
It was a rush
What a rush
Cause the possibility
That you would ever
Feel the same way
About me
It's just too much
Just too much
Why do I keep running
From the truth
All I ever think
About is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy
Or falling in love
Is it really
Just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
cos i'm trying tryna walk away
But I know this crush
Ain't goin' away
Has it ever cross
Your mind
When we're hangin'
Spending time girl
Are we just friends
Is there more
Is there more
See it's a chance
We've gotta take
Cause I believe
That we can
Make this into
Something
That will last
Last forever
Forever
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy
Or falling in love
Is it really just
Another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
cos i'm trying tryna walk away
But I know this crush
Ain't goin' away
Why do I keep running
From the truth
All I ever think
About is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy
Or falling in love
Is it really just
Another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
cos i'm trying tryna walk away
But I know this crush
Ain't goin' away
They all clapped when I was done, but Emmett looked like something else was on his mind, so I read it. "That song she was playing before she knew that we were listening, was it about me?" I sighed and they all looked at me, concern written all of their faces.
"Yeah, Emmett it was." I answered him. He looked sad.
"I'm sorry," he said while looking guilty.
I lowered my shield and thought "my brother can be so stupid"
Edward looked at me and tried to keep his laughter in. I put my shield back up and started wondering why seeing Edward happy made me happy and why every time I thought about him it made me have butterflies in my stomach. But I quickly pushed those thoughts aside. I put my guitar down and went over to my brother. I waited until he looked at me before I started talking.
"For someone so smart you sure can be dumb. I wrote that song when I thought you were dead. We couldn't leave stuff the way the fight ended. But that's the past now. And besides, we will never know what would have happened between mom and dad, so let's just try to forget about it okay?" I asked him.
"But Bella," he interrupted. I slapped him trying to get my point across. I try to never use violence as an answer because it reminds me of my past, and I think they got that. "
I always hate it when you are like this. I like you better when you're funny or at least trying to be." I told him.
He smiled and said "I am being depressing, aren't I?" We all nodded.
"Well then, that has to change doesn't it? Besides it's Edward job to be depressing."
I lowered my shield and said "I don't think you are depressing Edward." He looked shocked but thought back "Thanks"
"Welcome" I said out loud and they all looked at me like I was crazy. Heck, maybe I was but I don't really care.
"Hey Bella," Emmett said with a smile that I recognized. I blocked his mind so that Edward couldn't read it.
"Do you remember the song we wrote the first time you got drunk?" he asked in his mind.
"Which one?" I asked him while everybody else looked confused.
"Just Dance" he replied. I smiled and picked up my guitar and started playing it.

When we were done, they were all laughing hysterically.
"How did you write that?" Rosalie asked once she had calmed down.
"We wrote it the first and only time that Emmett got me drunk." They all started laughing at the thought of me getting drunk.
"No, that's not true belly bean. There was that other time." Emmett said.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that time."
"Hey Bella." Rosalie said suddenly. "Can I talk to you?"

i'm sorry that it took so ong to update. I have been in the hospital and i will try to update sooner because i can't really do anything else.
