Chapter 7: Unrelenting Anger
Bella's POV
How I resisted the urge to kill Alice right then and there was completely beyond me. How dare she come over here and talk to like that after what she did!
"Alice get out of here" I said as calmly as I could manage.
"No. Bella we need to talk-"
"About what?!" I yelled. "How you betrayed me? How you lied to me? How you let Edward steal my baby? How you let him buy your silence? How you betrayed my daughter and I for a makeup company? Tell me Alice what exactly is there to talk about? I'm curious"
I crossed my arms and tapped my foot impatiently waiting for her to answer the question. I could hear the others inside the house listening intently to every single word that we said.
"Bella it was for Nessie's own good. She would've been in danger. The wolves wanted her dead. If the Volturi ever found out about her-"
"Oh shut up Alice!" I yelled. "Just cut the crap already! Or are you really telling me that eight vampires would be completely incapable of protecting one human baby!"
"Bella I-"
"No the truth is that you let Edward do this and kept silent about what he had done all these years is because he bought you-"
"He did not buy me!" she yelled back.
"Oh really?!" My unrelenting fury only intensified for lies. Her bullshit. "So then what do you call it when someone gives you something in exchange for one's silence?! What do you call it when someone buys you a makeup company so you won't spill the beans?!"
"Well I-"
"Alice that is the very definition of buying someone. Just as it is the very definition of betrayal.
"I told you I did it because-"
"Alice please stop insulting my intelligence. I know exactly why you did what you did. Why is it that you didn't approve of his plan until he offered to buy you a makeup company? I'm not stupid so stop acting like I am"
"Bella I'm sorry" she muttered.
"No you're not. You're not sorry" I was really getting angrier and angrier by the second. "If it weren't for the fact that we moved here and found Nessie we would've never learned the truth. Neither you or Edward would have ever confessed if it hadn't been for us moving here. So don't say you're sorry when your intention was for us to never learn the truth"
"I'm-"
"Alice how could you do this to us?" This time it was Esme that spoke. Her voice sounded so sad. It was heartbreaking.
"Alice I am so disappointed in you. I never would have even imagined you we're capable of doing something like this" Carlisle added.
"I'm-"
"Alice not only have you betrayed Bella and Nessie but you betrayed all of us. We all loved her and we all wanted her. We could have protected her and you knew that. Your actions have hurt all of us" Esme sounded like she was about to cry. Carlisle had his arm around her shoulder in a comforting manner.
"She's right Alice" Carlisle said. "Your actions have hurt every single one of us. There is no excuse for what you did to Bella and to our granddaughter"
I looked around and saw that everyone else had started to appear. Rosalie followed by Emmett and Jasper. I didn't need Jasper's gift to know what they were feeling. Anger and sadness. Much the same way that I felt.
"Alice what you did hurts even more then what Edward did. You knew what he was doing. You could have stopped him. You could have told me what he was doing. Instead you didn't. You betrayed me for a makeup company. I never thought you were so shallow"
She didn't have anything to say at that point. I was right she just would never admit it.
"Alice please leave" I stated. "Leave before I do somethings I'll regret. Then again maybe I wouldn't regret it. In any case I would leave right now if I were you"
"But-" She looked around at everyone else. Hoping I could see that someone would want her to stay.
"Jasper?" she said. Her voice shaking.
When I looked at Jasper it was as if I could feel all of his emotions rather then the other way around. It was as if I had his gift. I could feel his sadness, his anger, and just how hurt and betrayed he felt by his own wife. It's the same way I felt about Edward right now.
"Alice please just leave already" he said.
Alice didn't stay another second after that. She ran off into the woods. Just as Jasper had disappeared into his room.
