*A/N: Thanks for all the reviews. I'll say I'm not the happiest about this chapter but it was what I came up with. Hope you all like it. It's surprising how I ended up writing over my usual when I couldn't find anything before. :P Writing's a funny thing.
Disclaimer!
How here's chapter 10! Wow already! :)
This chapter takes place on Thursday night. (Day 4)
Chapter 10 :Consequences
TPOV
Dr Cullen? As in Edward Cullen's dad, Dr Cullen? Well this was just great. I fallowed the nurse into room 68 where Dr Cullen was seated in his chair. Damn, he was h-o-t. How could this man be a doctor? He seemed more like a super model than anything else. He looked like he was in his late twenties. How do teenagers respect someone who is practically their age?
"Hello Tiffany. You can take a seat right over here." He said gesturing towards an empty chair beside him. I took my seat and waited for him to continue.
"It says here you fell on your wrist in school. How did that happen?" he asked. I decided on telling him the truth without giving him too many details because it could end up backfiring like before; if they decided to tell their father about the things I've been doing to them.
"Rosalie bumped into me from behind. I fell on my wrist." I answered simply.
"My daughter? I'll be having a talk with her." He said frowning, mostly to himself. I smiled a bit smug but hoping she wouldn't mention the things I did. It wouldn't give him the best impression of me and I needed him on my side since I would soon be with Edward.
"Can you move your wrist up and down?" he asked. I tried doing what he said but it killed.
"Owwww. I don't think that's a good idea." I replied. There was no way in hell I was attempting that again.
"It doesn't seem too serious. You have a bit of swelling but that could go away in a few days so I'll take you down to get an X-ray and we'll see what we're dealing with." He replied.
After taking my X-ray, we headed back to the examining room to discuss the procedure.
"You're lucky there's isn't a break of any kind. It's just a sprain but you still need to be careful to make sure it heals properly." Thank God, it wasn't a break. I wouldn't have to wear an awful cast.
"You might need to wrap your hand to mobilise it if it makes you feel more comfortable. You can take Tylenols or Advils for the pain and it would be a good idea if you iced it once or twice a day. It can help with the swelling. I can't tell you exactly how long it will take t heal. It all depends on how you treat it. It will heal on its own time." He explained what I had to do in order to heal faster. I won't be 'mobilising' anything though.
"Thank you Dr Cullen."
"Tiffany? You're new in time, am I right?" he asked before leaving, finishing the paper work.
"Yes. My parents and I just moved about a week ago." I answered politely.
"I hope you're all settling in. How's Lilliwaup treating you?" He questioned, creating small talk.
"It's good I guess. I'm still adjusting. I go to school with your children." I responded.
"I hope my children have been welcoming. Have you had the chance to speak with them yet?" He asked. The hell with what I said before. I'll mention a few things they've been doing. Dr Cullen seemed like the type of father that wouldn't accept excuses and the whole 'but she started it.'
"Edward and Bella are in some of my classes. They are very open people, well Bella is."
"What do you mean? Bella is usually the one who shies away from attention." He stated. I almost chocked on my saliva. I couldn't imagine Bella Masen hating attention.
"Really? Well she seems pretty confident in school. I accidently spilled my lunch on her and she took of her close in front of the entire cafeteria. It wasn't horrible because she had a tank top and shorts under but it was surprising." I answered. Take that. He seemed angered at this fact. Good, maybe Bella will get what she deserves.
"It seems I'll have to have a talk with all my children. I've never seen then behave like that, well besides Emmett." He said.
"It's a big thing that your children are all couple up. Though it seems that Edward and Bella are over. They've been in a fight since Monday. A lot of girls have been falling all over Edward since then. He seems interested in some of them." I mentioned, not needing to mention that it was me.
He laughed and answered: "I highly doubt Edward is interested in anyone else other than Bella. No, they'll make it. I know my children very well and I'm 100% sure this nonsense will be over soon. They barely ever fight. If there's one couple that'll last, it's Edward and Bella."
"Do you fully except their relationship? They are siblings after all." I really needed to get the answers I wanted. The only way to do so was going directly to the parents I concluded.
"Their relationship was strange at first. It was hard accepting it but then we witnessed the unbreakable bond they share and we all knew that there wasn't anything that we could do about it. My wife and I trust them fully. We know they were raised well and they are really good kids. All I ever wanted was my children's happiness and being together gives them the greatest happiness so who am I to take that away from them?" It was obviously a rhetorical question.
"Dr Cullen? There's a patient waiting for you in room 23." said the voice in the intercom.
"It was nice talking to you Tiffany but I have another patient to attend. Take care of your wrist and welcome to Lilliwaup." He said, exiting the room. Well that was interesting.

I cannot believe I got detention for protecting Bella. Esme was going to kill me when I got home. For a second, I found myself hoping for the time to go by slower but then I thought about seeing Bella sooner and I immediately wanted these two hours to end. Ryan was sitting on the other side of the class. Thank God.
"Ok, boys, I'll leave you to your two hour detention. I'll be right down the hall so no funny business. If so, you'll be suspended. Understood?" He asked. We both nodded and he left the classroom. What teacher leaves two men who just got into a physical fight alone in the same room for two hours?
"So what's wrong Cullen? Afraid of a little competition?" taunted Ryan. Why is he even talking to me? Oh, right, he must have some secret death sentence or something.
"Why don't you just shut up Highton?" I sneered.
"Are you beginning to question her feelings for you? You might by right to." He continued, completely ignoring my previous response.
"I would never question her feelings for me. I know she loves me with her whole heart. I'm not insecure. I have no reason to be." I stated the truth.
"I think you might have a reason. Besides me, from what I heard, she's been hitting on Jacob. I heard they're secretly seeing each other." I burst out laughing. Bella and Jacob? Back when she was human, that wouldn't have been funny but now, knowing how he felt about Nessie, the idea was completely ridiculous.
"Bella and Jacob? You have got to be kidding me. Those two are best friends but that's all." I said laughing again.
"I'm not too sure about the just friends part. They've been getting closer and closer since you two broke up." He stated.
"Where did you even hear this? For the record, we never broke up. We've agreed to take a break. That's it." I argued. Why couldn't he just sit there and ignore me like I was trying to do to him?
"I have my ways. I'd watch out for your brother is I were you. I can't believe your own brother would hit on your girlfriend. Some brother, even if you two aren't blood related." He answered. I realized that throughout the conversation, he moved closer to me. He was now seated a desk from mine. I knew he was trying to get a rise out of me but I won't give him that satisfaction.
"You don't know anything about my siblings so don't talk about them like you know them. Besides his with Renesmee, and they love each other." I was getting very frustrated even though I was trying to seem as though I couldn't care less about what h said.
"Hahahaha, that's even more ironic. Your sister's boyfriend is dating your girlfriend. Wow." He laughed as if it were the funniest thing to be said.
I went back to ignoring him as best as I could when my phone started vibrating in my pocket. I quickly scanned through the principles thoughts to make sure he wasn't coming to check on us soon and answered my phone.
"What is it? I can't talk right now." I half whispered into the phone.
"Wow, calm down there bro. I was just checking to see how life in detention was." laughed Emmett on the other end of the phone. "Out of all of us, I would never have thought you would be the one to get detention." He added.
"I'm going to hang up now..." I warned. I didn't have the patience for this right now.
"Wait, I just wanted to tell you that Esme is really mad so you might want her too cool down a bit." He advised.
"Thanks for the heads up Em. I'll see you later." I replied hanging up and placing my phone in my pocket.
The rest of detention went smoothly because the principle hung out in the classroom to supervise instead.
The teacher advised us that our two hours of hell were over.

When Edward got home, he and I went hunting nearby. I knew he was trying to get away from Carlisle and Esme. Usually, I would have forced him to stay and man up but I was surprisingly very thirsty and didn't complain. I drained about five deer and two elk before I was satisfied. I've never hunted this much even in my new born years. I didn't think much of it because I assumed my body needed it. Edward on the other hand, was worrying.
"Bella, that was a lot of hunting you did." He commented.
"I guess I just needed it. Did you finish?" I asked him, shrugging it off. I was entirely focused on the hunt that I didn't notice Edward anywhere.
"Yes I did, a while ago. Are you okay?" he question, seeming concerned about something.
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" I questioned back.
"It's just that I haven't seen you hunt this much in forever." He explained.
"I just needed to recuperate from this stressful week. It's nothing." I assured him, taking his hand in mine. I lead him towards the house where we were sure to be having a discussion with our family.
"If you say so." He answered, still not sounding convinced.
When we got home, I saw all of my siblings and daughter sitting in the living room while Carlisle and Esme were standing in front of them with an angered look.
When they saw us walk through the door, Esme spoke to us in a harsh tone. "Sit!" was the one word she said. Edward and I joined our family in the room and sat on the floor together, our backs leaning against the sofa. I was silent for a moment, waiting for the storm that were Carlisle and Esme to start.
Finally, Esme broke the painful silence. "I don't even know where to begin. I am in disbelief that you'd do such things to innocent humans."
Emmett, being stupid, interrupted her. "They're not all innocent. They're trying to get between Edward and Bella so we stud up for them."
"I don't care about your reasons. These teenagers are 17 years old. You all know better than that. You've had over a hundred years, some more, to know right from wrong. Carlisle got a patient today claiming that she sprained her wrist because Rosalie pushed her in the hall." She said in shock. "And you Edward! You're the oldest, more mature one out of all your siblings. You got detention for punching a guy. I never expected that from you. I'm very disappointed in you." She said to him. I knew this affected him a lot. He hated doing anything that hurt or disappointed Esme. "I'm disappointed in all of you." She added, looking at each and every one of us with a look that said it all.
"Your mother and I won't condone this behaviour. You could have easily and seriously injured them. Where were your heads when you physically hurt a human?" commented Carlisle.
"I don't see why we are all here, only Edward and Rose physically harmed them." argued Alice. She probably knew what her consequence would be and didn't like it one bit.
"I believe you all had a part in this. Just the fact that you all knew what was going on and didn't act on stopping it makes you all as responsible as the other." explained Carlisle. That shut everyone up.
"We are well aware of your little game about Edward and Bella but to our knowledge it ends tomorrow correct?" asked Esme. We all nodded in response.
"Well to make sure you've learned your lesson, you'll each have something removed of yours for the duration of the coming weekend. Count yourselves lucky that it is only for two days because trust me it was going to be much much worse but Carlisle convinced me to keep it light. But if I ever hear about harming a human physically or otherwise, or each other for that matter, you won't get off so easily. Understood?" explained Esme in a cold tone. We all nodded once again. No one having the nerve to talk.
"Edward, you will be removed of your special occasion car."
"WHAT? But it's the weekend. I always take it out on weekends" complained Edward.
"Next time, think before you act. As for Bella and Jasper, no reading books, absolutely nothing that doesn't involve school work. The internet counts."
"Esme, I was almost done my book. I can't just stop now." I really wanted to know the ending. It was such a suspenseful moment. I knew I could have easily finished it with my vampire speed but I enjoyed taking my time. I didn't want to rush through it because eventually I'd run out of books that interest me.
"And I wanted to read this book I found on the Civil war that's coming in tomorrow." Poor Jasper. I knew how much he was looking forward to reading it.
"Alice, Renesmee and Rosalie, there will be no shopping. That includes no internet shopping nor window shopping. No contact with a mall what so ever."
Alice screamed and started hyperventilating. Who knew vampires could hyperventilate? "Esme, please. Anything but that! I'm begging." pleaded Alice, dropping to her knees.
"I'm sorry Alice but that's how it's going to be. All three of you have the same punishment because that way you can't ask the other one to buy things for you. I don't have to worry about Bella because she detests shopping." explained Esme.
"Emmett, no video games. For you Jacob, no touching anything that has to do with cars or vehicles." Emmett was going to go berserks without his games for the weekend. I knew that Jacob was about to finish his car. Esme really knew how to punish us.
Oh well, I'll need to find something else to occupy me. I think Edward and I will be having extra alone time this weekend. Maybe it wasn't going to be so bad after all.
