Chapter 5: Homecoming
A person starts to live when he lives outside himself
Albert Einstein
(A/N: I would like to just say thank you to all the readers for actually giving this story a shot and for all their fabulous reviews, Favorite listings and Alerts. You don't know how much this all means to me. I just thought that the Cullens should have their say if this really did happen, we already knew how Bella was after the Cullens left in New Moon, but as the title implies, this is my version. The glorious, fabulous, talented and awesome Stephenie Meyer owns all, I'm just a person who is fanatical about Twilight...and Paramore.)
ALICE:
Ever since I had the vision that Edward was coming home, the atmosphere was more relaxed and I didn't need my husband's gift to know that. Esme was humming her favorite that Edward created especially for her, Carlisle was laughing, but mostly due to the immaturity of our lovable brother, Emmett, but laughing none the less. I was floating around more often, dancing around the house more like my happy self. Bella was also more lively, she was up an about more often, even though the lack of sleep was still eating at her, I could tell by the dark rings under her eyes. Even though she had gotten a good night's the two days she had been here, but she was still exhausted, I couldn't blame her. She had gone through enough, due to my lame, dumb brother. He might have been coming home, but he still needs some straightening out, I intend to do just that. Whenever I get the chance I'm going to give him a lil talking to.
It was now 9:00, just a few hours after the football game. Carlisle had gone to work his shift at the hospital. He wasn't as home as often as he was in Forks, more people in Alaska means more people in the hospital which means more doctors needed and less Carlisle around. Rose was adoring herself in the mirror in her bedroom. Bella and Esme were in the kitchen. Esme was fixing Bella dinner, but Bella was her assistant chef. Emmett and Jasper were playing Halo. I ran in the living room and turned off the Xbox.
"Hey!" Emmett complained.
"Don't whine, we're watching movies 'Til Edward gets here." I replied.
"Fine. And I'm just playing nice cause he's on his way."
"Okay then."
"Bella!" I called.
She walked into the living room. "What's up?"
"We are watching movies, and I won't take no for an answer." I replied.
"Okay. Its not like I was going to object." She told me.
"Good." I told her as I dashed to her side and grabbed her arm and pulled her to farther into the living room. I didn't bother making Rose come down here, she would most likely just ruin the moment.
"Go ahead and sit down, Bella. I've got things covered in here." Esme said.
"You sure?" Bella asked her.
I grabbed her waist and drug her to the couch. "Of course she is silly, she wouldn't have said it if she didn't mean it." I said as she sat down on the couch.
"SO...what are we watching?" Emmett asked.
"Errr...how about Underworld 2: Evolution?" I said.
Emmett and Jasper just scoffed. "Seriously?" They asked at the same time.
"Why not?" I asked, rhetorically.
"Alright, Alright." Emmett said as Esme came in with Bella's food. Smelled revolting, even for people food. Esme sat next to Bella on the couch and I started the movie.
We were all quiet for the first few minutes of the movie, until they were talking about Michael, the hybrid of half vampire and half werewolf.
"Can that really happen?" Bella asked. "Is there even such a thing as werewolves?"
"Can I take your plate?" Esme asked, clearly as a diversion.
"Sure. Thanks." She replied.
"So?" Bella asked.
"Err, we think so, but no one knows for sure." I asked, trying to find a way to beat around the bush, I didn't want to have to tell her that the La Push kids are descendants of men who could transform into large wolves, but that hardly counted as a true werewolf.
"Ah." She said.
We were now at the part where Selene and Michael are caught in the truck when the sun is rising, unlike us, these vampires actually fried in the sun.
"HA! Like that would ever happen!" Emmett replied.
"I know right! Whoever wrote this movie is ignorant." Jasper replied.
"Boys. Just watch the movie." Esme said.
"I thinks it's kind of interesting to see all the different views of vampires people have." Bella said, surprisingly.
"Hmm, good point Bella." Esme replied.
"You all don't Bleed." Bella said when the part where Selene goes to talk to the traitor guy, Tenus and he's partying and one of his lovers bites him.
The next several scenes were watched in silence. Then the big battle scene was on and whenever Michael stuck his hand through the werewolf's head, Bella Cringed. We are now to the end of the movie, killing William and Marcus, Selene ended Vampires and Werewolves, they were people again.
"That could so not happen." Emmett said.
"Totally." Bella replied.
"Alright, that was one hour and forty two minutes down, what else are we watching?" I asked.
"Whatever you want to." Esme replied.
"How about pretty woman?"
"The chick flick?" Emmett complained.
"Oh, come on Emmett, be a man about it." I replied, joking.
"Only because you're my sister. Gosh, how can someone so small be so annoying!"
"It's a talent!" I replied. Thinking back to the time that Edward and I had the same conversation, again, and again. I couldn't wait for him to come back. Thinking of him triggered my next vision.
I saw him arrive and go straight to Bella, who was asleep in his bedroom.
"Guys, when he gets here, don't bother to try to talk to him. He'll go straight to Bella." I said in a whisper so that Bella couldn't hear.
I put in Pretty Woman, I love this movie. Shopping on Rodeo Drive, was one of the most awesomest experiences ever.
About halfway though the movie, I heard Bella's heartbeat slow and her breaths were shallow and even. She'd fallen asleep. She was so out of it that she wasn't talking.
"Emmett?" I said. He knew exactly what I meant. He gingerly picked her up and took her upstairs. I followed him and changed her into her pajamas.
We finished the movie and right after the end credits, I heard the sound of the Volvo. Edward! Edward had finally come home! YAY! Esme wore a big smile on her face and Emmett was grinning ear to ear.
"How is he?" Esme asked Jasper.
"He's mixed up. He's determined, agonized, self-destructive, guilty, grateful. I tell ya, he's emo." Esme looked serious and nodded. He flashed in the house and just paused, and ran upstairs.
( A/N: See, I haven't eaten you yet. Loving LOVING all the reviews and update alerts, this chapter wasn't as good as the rest, but at least it's something. I just loved the fact of them watching Underworld, i don't know why, though. I just find the idea hilarious and ridiculous. Oh well, I don't know what's next...Edward's journey home maybe . Comments/concerns/criticism is always welcome. PEACE OUT! xoxo.
PS: And for some reason, I imagine Edward more anguished than I wrote him, I feel sorry for him in New Moon...cough cough...write New Moon in EPOV, Stephenie..cough cough. =P)
