Chapter 9
Bella's POV
"ALICE" I screamed as soon as I heard her from the window. "BELLA WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU" she screamed like she was going to cry. "Alice calm down and let me explain" I tried telling her but she wouldn't listen. "Calm down, Bella your missing your foot for god's sake how can I be calm" she said lowering her voice a little. "Oh my god Bella look at you" her voice sounded scared and confused. I sighed and said "Well now you know what I've been hiding." We were both quiet for a few minutes not knowing what to say. Then Alice finally got up and said "Bella tell me when did you lose your foot." At first I was hesitant to tell her, but I decided to because either way she would tell Edward. "It was sometime in either December or January I don't remember too well." Alice looked annoyed and said "What do you mean you don't remember I mean I would certainly remember losing my foot if I were you." I didn't say anything else because I knew Alice wouldn't understand what I was going through. "Bella I'm sorry I lost it there I didn't mean too it's just creepy seeing you like this." I took in a deep breathe and said "It's ok Alice I know you didn't mean to you won't tell Edward or anyone else in your family will you." Alice sighed and said "Bella they need to know." "Alice please I'll find a way to tell them, but please don't tell them Please" I begged her even giving her the puppy dog eyes. Alice sighed again and said "Ok Bella I won't tell, but you have to be the one to tell them and soon or else I will." I groaned and said "Alice I can't you don't know how hard it is for me and just by you knowing makes things tougher." I realized half way through the sentence I started crying. Alice came over to hug me and said "Bella I know it'll be hard but we're your family and family doesn't hide stuff from each other no matter what please please tell them and I'll be right there through it all." I couldn't stop crying so I just nodded as she held me.
After I was done with my crying Alice helped me down stairs and put me on the coach. "Bella is there anything else that you want to show me I mean it's kind of pointless to hide it at this point." I nodded and started removing the black glove from my hand. Once it was off Alice gave a big gasp and studied it very carefully. "Oh Bella what on earth happened to you while we were gone." I didn't bother answering her because I want to know as well . "Alice how I'm I suppose to tell them can't you like see into the future and tell me what I'm suppose to do." Alice just shook her head and said "Bella I think it's better that you tell them the way you think you should instead of relying on me for this one, but I'll tell you already their reactions won't be pretty." I just gave her a fake smile and said "When should I tell them?" Alice sighed and said "Whenever your ready, but it has to be soon or else I'll tell them." I nodded and said "ok how about tomorrow night." Alice smiled and said "Tomorrow night is perfect. After she said that we sat in silence for a few minutes before she got up and said "Bella I need to go but don't worry I'll keep Edward away until you foot is done charging ok." I nodded and gave her a hug goodbye.
Alice's POV
I left Bella's house at full speed and hurried up towards home. I still couldn't believe what I saw I never seen anything like that before. Poor Bella no one deserves to go through whatever she did and once I found out who did it they'll pay big time for hurting my sister. I need to hurry up and try to keep Edward distracted until Bella's foot is done charging.
When I got home I saw Esme putting some new furniture in and Emmett and Jasper arm wrestling. "Alice we didn't expect you home so early is everything alright" Esme said with a concern tone. Jasper got up and came near me and said "Alice what's wrong you feel confused, guilty, angry, and sad." I just shook my head and said "It's Bella something's happen." Emmett suddenly threw the table and said "What's wrong did someone hurt her if so then I'll make them pay." I couldn't help but laugh at Emmett's reaction he really did care for Bella like a sister. I sighed and said "I can't tell you I promised Bella, but she'll tell you tomorrow night I just need you guys to keep Edward distracted until 6:00 please for Bella." I could tell they were all confused, but didn't question me any further. I decided to go hunting so I could avoid Edward until tomorrow night. I knew there was no why I could stop thinking about Bella' missing foot and her sewn hand I just hope she'll actually tell them.
Edward's POV
I was just on my way to Bella's when my phone vibrated. "Hello" I asked on first ring. "Edward it's Emmett hey we need you to come home now it's an emergency." "What kind of emergency" "JUST GET HERE NOW MAN." "Ok fine let me stop at Bella's first" "No Edward get here now or I'll come after you just call her." After that he hung up I wondered what kind of emergency it was. I hurried up and called Bella. She picked up on first ring "Edward." I sighed and said "Bella love I'm sorry but some kind of emergency came up I'm afraid I'm going to be late coming to your place." She sighed like she was relieved that I wasn't coming over. "Bella don't you want me to come over " I asked her very confused. "No Edward it's just I'm very busy and I need to be alone right now anyways." "oh ok well don't worry I'll be over as soon as I can goodbye love." After I hung up I started wondering if Alice was able to get Bella to talk about what ever was bothering her.
When I got up I saw Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie in the living room waiting for me. "Where's Alice" I asked when I noticed she wasn't here. "She went on a early hunting trip she said she'll be back tomorrow night" Jasper answered me quickly. "So what's the emergency." "Well we figured while Alice has gone hunting I think maybe we should get an early start as well" Carlisle said looking somewhat happy. "That's the big emergency I can wait a couple weeks before I go hunting and besides I can't leave Bella alone for more than a day." Esme smiled and said "Don't worry were only be gone for a couple of hours this time we'll most likely be back after six." I was still hesitant to say yes but I could tell the rest of my family wouldn't give me much of a choice. I sighed and said "Fine but only to six and that's it."
Bella's POV
I can't believe that today's the day I have to tell Edward about my foot. I'm grateful that the others were able to get him to go on a short hunting trip while my leg charged. Unfortunately yesterday went all too quick then I wanted it too and now Alice is making me get ready to go over to her place. "Bella are you ready" Alice asked me from outside my bathroom." I just sighed and said "Yea I guess let me grab my crutches." Alice could tell I was nervous so she said "Bella don't worry everything will be alright no ones going to think less of you please believe me." I just smiled at her and then went back to getting my short blue dress. On the way there I was getting more and more nervous on how I was going to handle their reactions. "Alice I don't think I can do this" I admitted while breathing heavily. Alice took my hand and said "Bella I know you can do this the sooner you get it over with the better." I just gave her a fake smile and went back to worrying.
When we got to the Cullen's house I saw Edward coming out and helping me out of the car. "Hello Love" he said as he pulled me into his chest. "Hey" I replied with such a weak voice. He then turned to look at me and said "Bella are you ok Jasper says you seem nervous what's wrong please tell me. I sighed and said "I will once we get inside." When we got in I saw the entire family looking at me with worried expressions. Esme came over to hug me and said "Bella you've been acting strange lately will you please tell us what's going." Now I knew I had to tell them I hated having them worried about me. I closed my eyes and said "Ok just hold on while I go into the restroom Alice can I have my stuff please." They all watched me carefully as I took my crutches and dress into the bathroom. I hurried up and got dress into my short blue dress and slowly took my foot and leg off. I hurried up and got up with my crutches and started limping towards the door. "Are you guys ready" I asked nervously. "HELL YEA HURRY UP AND GET OUT HERE BELLA" Emmett screamed. I opened the door and started towards the living room and I could hear whispers of why I was using the crutches. When I came into the other room I saw everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
Edward's POV
When Bella came over to my house she seems so nervous and everyone else thinks so too. I saw Alice carrying in crutches and a short blue dress. I tried to see what she was up to but she kept blocking me out. When Bella went into the bathroom I turned to Alice and asked "Alice what's wrong with Bella she's acting very weird. She just snickered at me and said "Oh you'll find out very shortly." I saw the rest of my family starting to get nervous when we heard a pair of crutches moving this way. Then my eyes widened when Bella came in the living room with no foot.
Author's Note
