Emmet and Jasper's plan
Bella POV
Edward had come home and wrapped his arms around me until I had stopped crying that night. He never asked me what was up. I think he was scared that I would start crying again and that he would upset me. He hated upsetting me and hurting me.
He had gone to work today, but I stayed in our apartment. Alone. I didn't want to leave Edward alone just in-case Jacob told him the truth. That was what I thought he would do for his revenge. But Edward insisted he went to work. He didn't understand why I wouldn't let him go out without me. So he left this morning before I had woken up.
So I sat alone watching some TV show, I didn't have any interest in. The phone rang.
"Hey Bells open the door yeah" said Emmet down the phone. I laughed.
"Sure, sure" I said and opened the door ready for him to come in.
A minute or so later Emmet burst through the door with Jasper following him.
"Alright Bells" he said and hugged me.
"Hey Emmet...I need to...breathe please" he laughed and let go of me.
"Bella" smiled Jasper.
"Jasper" I giggled. "So why are you two lovely gentlemen here?"
"Well two reasons in fact" started Jasper.
"One Edward said you needed cheering up so yeah" Emmet chuckled.
"And two we need to know what colour suit to buy for the wedding" finished Jasper.
"Well for the suits you better ask Alice because to be honest I have no idea" I laughed "And for the one about me needing cheering up I don't really think anything will help. Sorry guys" I mumbled.
"Why do you need a girl chat?" asked Emmet in a high pitched voice.
"I don't think even that would help to be honest" I sighed.
"Ooooooo Emmet it's bad" said Jasper.
"It is indeed" he replied "Edward said you've been crying a lot. Why?" he pressed.
"I can't tell you" I whispered.
"Why?" asked Jasper.
They had no cornered me onto the sofa and were stood around me.
"Because it's bad" I mumbled.
"How bad?"
"Really bad" I said "That's all I'm saying".
"No it isn't" laughed Emmet.
"It isn't at all. Now why is it bad?" asked Jasper.
"It just is"
"Tell us!" shouted Emmet.
"No. You'll hate me, everyone will" I said and my eyes started to glaze over with tears.
Emmet and Jasper looked at each other like they knew they were going to find out.
"Why?"
"You just will" the first tear spilled over.
"Who is it about?"
"Edward" I cried. The tears were falling freely down my cheeks now.
"You cheated?" guessed Jasper.
"Never" I sobbed.
"You're secretly a man?" guessed Emmet.
I laughed through my tears at this one. "No Emmet"
There was silence for a split second but I managed to consider just telling them in that time. The tars got worse as I ran through what I had done in my head.
"I'm the worst person ever!" I shouted.
"No you're not Bella" said Jasper calmly.
"You're amazing and Edward loves you lots. We all do" soothed Emmet.
"DON'T SAY THAT. I DON'T DESERVE TO BE ACCEPTED OR LOVED BY YOUR FAMILY OR EDWARD. I WAS PLANNING TO FUCKING KILL HIM TO GET HIS MONEY. I'M A HEARTLESS BITCH THAT SHOULD DIE" I shouted. Once I had said it I realised the impact my words had had on Emmet and Jasper. "Shit" I whispered.
"Shit. Yeah shit" whispered Emmet. His whisper was scary. "You're in shit Bella. Deep shit. Let's see you try to dig your way out"
My tears chocked my throat.
"I...It wasn't my plan. To start with I was with this guy, Jacob. He needed money and said I should marry some rich guy, kill him and take his insurance money. I didn't dare say no. He beat me up, when he'd get angry, when I didn't what he said or if he just felt like it. I was so scared I agreed but I never thought of going through with the plan. I had planned in my mind to just get a divorce with the man, never take his life. Then Jacob broke my truck so I would have to meet you guys, and Edward. And we started dating, but then I realised I was falling in love with Edward. I left Jacob eventually and forgot the whole thing to be with Edward. I thought it would go away but Jacob came back, stalked me and Edward. He said he was going to get revenge, and I'm so scared. I'm scared he'll tell Edward and then Edward will hate me like you two do and leave me and I don't want that to happen because I love him. I love him so much I would die any day for him" I sobbed and collapsed into a heap on the floor.
Emmet and Jasper picked me up and sat me back down on the sofa.
"We know you love him Bella, but that...I don't know if I can..." said Jasper.
"I know" I moaned.
"We're going to help you" said Emmet suddenly.
"What?" I asked.
"We all know you love Edward and he loves you, so we're going to keep this a secret and then we're going to find this Jacob guy" chuckled Emmet.
"Thankyou so much guys" I hugged them "I love you guys so much"
"We don't agree of like what you did but, you're a sister to us Bella, and we would do the same for any of our family" said Jasper.
They calmed me down and convinced me that I didn't need to die.
I didn't need to die.
Die...
