Another chapter as promised. I know it's short, but it's informative. I own nothing.
EmPOV
"Emmett!" Someone was whisper shouting at me while shaking me. You know that thing people do when they really want to shout but they have to stay quiet? Yeah that.
I peeled my eyes open. "Snow White? What are you doing here?" I asked groggily. "I'm not letting Bella go to school today, she's not upto it. I'll go get Alice up, when you two are ready come over. I'll give you breakfast and an explination."
I pulled on some jeans and followed Zee through to Alice's room. "Al, hun, it's time to get up" She said gently. "Mom?" "No, sorry hun, it's just me" I swear my heart broke hearing Alice sob "No... Where did she go?... She was here... Mom..."
Zee was sitting on the bed holding Ali close and whispering to her. Calming her down. I sat on Alice's other side and pulled her into my chest, her little hands clinging around my waist.
I looked up at Zee, "We'll be round shortly" I told her. "I'll go get started on a proper English fry-up then" She smiled at me, but I could tell she was worried about us all because the smile never reached her eyes. After she left I sat with Alice until she calmed down and told me she was getting a shower. 40 minutes later we were ready.
"Em, why are we going next door for breakfast?" Ali asked as I was trying to find my keys. "Hepzhibah won't let Bells go to school today, she wants us over so she can explain why and make sure we're fed." I told her. Where have my keys gone? Okay Emmett think! Where did I have them last? There they are, on the couch. We locked up and headed next door.
Jase opened the door for us, "Come in, breakfasts ready" he said leading us through to the dining room. Mmmm Food, I love Zee's fry-up's. There on the dining table was bacon, sausages, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, fried bread, toast, and black pudding. I love black pudding but Zee won't tell me what it's made of, she says if I knew I wouldn't want to eat it. We all helped ourselves to what we wanted, and I ate all the leftovers. After everyone had finished Hepzhibah made Jason and Marc go to school early, got herself a coffee and me and Ali orange juice, then settled down to talk.
"I'm afraid I can't tell you everything, because that would be betraying Bellas trust, but I'll explain as best I can." Oh God. This doesn't sound good. She continued "Bella came to me last night very upset, we were talking about what got her upset and after awhile the conversation came around to your parents." Alice paled. "Em, is it okay if I wait in the car?" "Sure Ali" I handed her the keys and gave her a hug before she left. "Please carry on" I said to my Snow White who looked close to tears herself. "Well Bella, though she tries to act tough, is still haunted by what happened." I'm glad she didn't say that word. "She spent hours crying and I've only just managed to get her to sleep. For these reasons I don't think she's physically or mentally well enough to go to school today. I will phone the school and explain the situation so you will not have to talk about this to anyone if you don't want to." I pulled her into one of my bear hugs. "Thank you so much Snow White, I don't know what we would do without you" I stated honestly. "Yeah well no matter how old they are sometimes people just need somebody else to look after them" She said smiling sadly, a tear running down her cheek. "We're all here Zee, we all love you. You're not on your own anymore." I gave her another hug and a kiss on the cheek. She was silently crying, "Go on Em you're going to be late. I'll be fine" With that she smiled, the first proper smile of the day. "Okay, I'll come here after school. Bye" I walked to the car, and me and Ali went to meet our friends. The rest of our family.
Sorry if I didn't do Emmett justice, but this had to be his POV to explain some things. Incase you wanted to know black pudding is fried pigs blood, yes us English eat gross things. Please Review!!
Love you guys
