BELLA POV:

What was he doing here? Any other day I would be happy to see him. But today of all days was bad. The message he left last night said a lot. Well no time like the present. I got out of bed and walked towards my door. I still had on my robe from last night and I didn't even bother to look in the mirror to see what my face looked like, I could feel it.

With every step I took the music was getting louder. Before getting to the bottom step I had to set down. My heart was racing, my breathing was labored. I felt like I was facing God and the wrath he would bring. Any one that knows Edward knows I'm not far from the truth.

One more deep breath I stood up and went into the living room.

He was beautiful. The sun coming in across the piano and lighting up the whole room was breath taking all on its own. But add him to the mix? Ladies and gentleman we have God!

The notes on the piano became lighter as he went into a different song. Never once looking at me, he started to talk.

"What did you do last night Isabella?"

"Went out had fun, got drunk, kissed a friend, got smacked, and yelled with Emmet. Yep that just about sums it up." I looked at him. He was staring at the wall in front of him.

"You will not ever do that again." He said as if stating a fact.

"Damn straight. Yelling and getting slapped by Emmett sucked." I huffed like I was laughing.

He slammed the lid down on the keys then stood up causing the bench to fall backwards. I jumped back and looked at him.

"YOU WILL NOT DO ANY OF IT! I WILL NOT HAVE MY WIFE TO BE OUT WITH THE LIKES OF THEM DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT!! I WAS NOT VERY HAPPY TO BE GETTING A PHONE CALL SAYING MY BELLA WAS UP TO NO GOOD. I HAD TO TELL SCHOOL THAT I HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY SO I COULD BE HERE! I WAS NOT ABOUT TO TELL THEM THAT I NEEDED TO GO HOME AND STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT! HOW WOULD THAT MAKE ME LOOK?" He was yelling at me, closing the distance between us in a few strides.

I dropped my head and he grabbed my chin forcefully, bringing it back up so I could look him in the eyes.

"You will not go anywhere. You will stay in this house. If you decide to go anywhere it will be with Rose or Alice. Are we clear?" The grip tightened on my face.

"You don't own me." I whispered out.

He smiled and leaned over close to my face as if so no one could hear us. "Not yet but I will. And you will act accordingly. We don't want to disappoint our parents."

"No Edward." He won.

He tilted my face to the side to take a good look at the mark on my cheek. "Rose will be able to cover that up with no problem. Now go get ready we are playing tennis at the club today. I have to fly back to school tomorrow morning and I want to spend time with you."

"Yes Edward." I turned to walk out of the room he caught me by the waist, his chest was pressing against my back. He brought his hand up to my neck and in a deep tone he said something that scared the shit out of me.

"Be thankful it was Emmett that caught you last night and not me. A slap from him is nothing compared to what I would have done." He pushed me towards the door and I ran up stairs. Oh Holy Hell.

EM POV:

I stood outside of the living room. I knew Edward had a temper on him and she was stubborn. I could hear every word they were saying.

When Bella ran out of the room and up the stairs I walked in, Edward was picking up the bench that he knocked over.

Hearing what Edward had to say was not setting well with me. "Funny Edward I slap Bella last night and her friend Jacob had six guys holding him back to keep him from tearing into me. You get told I hit her then you see her face and you just tell her Rose can fix it and if it had been you, you would have done worse." I was calm about it.

"She humiliated me Emmett. I don't know what has gotten into her but I will put a stop to it." He sat down at the piano.

"I humiliated her last night by treating her like a kid in front of her friends." I sat down in a chair across from him.

"Those are not her friends. Her friends are the ones worried about her. You of all people should know what kind of people they are, and what kind of trouble they cause."

Was he really that self centered.

"Bella grew up with Maria, her mom practically raised us. I know Jacob. His dad works hard."

"That's right they are employees. Nothing else." He stood up and walked over to the window.

" You know Bella doesn't drink. She knows she made a mistake and feels bad about it. I was just glad it was Jacob and not some stranger that could have taken advantage of her drunken state."

He turned to me. "My point exactly if she had not been around them she would not have gone out, got drunk, and done something so stupid. You act as if was a blessing she was with them."

"No I just was saying…" I was cut off by Bella as she walked back into the room. She had her hair pulled back and wearing her tennis clothes. But the smile was no longer on her face. She walked up to Edward's open arms and he pulled her into a light hug.

"Now there's my girl. Let's go have breakfast then we will go to the club." He took her hand and led her out the door. I followed.

When we walked thru the kitchen Gloria was not happy. When I came home last night I played like I wanted to join Bella and Maria so she happily told me where they were. But now she regrets it. Maria must have called her last night, but hell how could she sleep with the words that were being exchanged between Bella and I last night.

Bella stopped to say something to Gloria and Edward just pulled her out the door. He is not even going to let her talk to Gloria.

I stayed back to have a word with her. She turned her head and brought up a tissue to her eyes. She was crying.

"Gloria." I said as I put a hand on her shoulder.

She jerked away from me. "Emmett Swann I am not happy with you. Your Grandfather would roll over in his grave if he knew you had put a hand on your sister. I don't know why you did it and I don't want to know. But you used me to hurt Bella and I am mad at you for it." She scolded me.

I let her. "I'm sorry Gloria."

"Don't you sorry me. I am at fault for letting her go out and I am dealing with Maria and Jacob for letting her get drunk and kiss him. But you had no right to slap her for any reason. Then you stand there and let HIM talk to her like she was nothing, yes she made mistakes and she feels bad about it, but haven't we all made mistakes at some point in our life?" She raised her eyebrow at me.

I closed my eyes and kissed her on top of her head. I couldn't say anything to her. She was right. So I turned and walked outside to join the others.

Once I got outside I heard the hammering. I turned to the sound and there was Jacob and four of the guys that were at Bailey's last night. Jacob looked at me and I knew he was still fuming about what I did.

Rose and Alice were talking about some lunch thing my mom was planning. Jasper was meeting us at the club. Edward was doing something on his phone, and Bella just sat there quiet like a puppy afraid of getting kicked if it made a noise. …….

BELLA POV:

What in the hell am I doing? When I saw Gloria she had been crying. I wanted to hug her and tell her it was my fault and I was ok. But Edward wouldn't let go of my hand. Today I was not allowed to talk to the help.

Then to sit here and listen to the chattering of the so called friend who is more loyal to Edward than her own boyfriend. I was going insane. Hearing the hammering behind me knowing Jacob is looking at me and I don't dare look his way was about to kill me. I wanted to let him know I was ok also.

Edward has been on his phone the whole time we were out here. Texting someone, my guess it has something to do with his sudden departure for the family emergency at home. Me.

"Oh I see our food finally decided to get here." Rose said. I looked up to see Gloria serving the food. When she saw me she just closed her eyes and shook her head. I could see she was about to cry again.

"Thank you Gloria." Emmett said in a quiet voice.

"Don't say thank you Emmett the food is probably cold. What have you been doing in there gabbing on the phone?" Rose was being hard on her.

I cut her a look and she just smiled at me. "It's so hard to find good help these days." She continued to bash Gloria I couldn't take it anymore.

"Rose why are you worried about the food and if it's cold or not, you need to be eating lemon slices and drinking water. Gain any more weight in your fat ass and they might as well start over and make you a new dress." I casually said while taking a bite of my eggs.

Emmett spit his orange juice on his shirt. Alice busted out laughing. Rose just glared at me. Then I felt it, the pain on my thigh. Edward had grabbed my thigh and squeezed, I didn't cry out but Rose could tell what was going on and smiled in victory.

The rest of the breakfast was quiet and then we left for the club. I wanted to hide in my room. But Edward would not have it. When people saw my cheek and asked what happened, Edward would say 'You know how Bella is always being clumsy.' And they would laugh and agree.

I have yet to look or talk to Emmett. He was not my favorite person right now. In fact the only one I have held a conversation with today was Jasper.

Not being able to talk to Gloria, Maria, or even Jacob was about to kill me. I was sucking at tennis, and trust me they were reminding me of it.

Edward barely touched me today. He said the hug I got this morning was it. I was being punished for showing affection towards another man. It was a drunken kiss but oh well. I secretly smiled to myself.

I was deep in thought because Alice scared me when she plopped down beside me. "I'm not mad at you I just don't understand."

"What's to understand? I went out got drunk and kissed Jacob. I'm pretty sure everyone in our little group probably knew I was going to do it before I did." I said.

We didn't look at each other we both just faced forward so no one would wonder what we were talking about.

"Why did you go out with them? You know we could have done something together if you wanted to." I could hear the hurt in her voice.

"Because I am sick of always coming here, I wanted to try something different. And I'm sorry and I love you so don't take it the wrong way but I don't see you or anyone else stepping outside our bubble." I knew if we didn't change the subject soon I was going to cry.

"Bella this is who we are. This was how we were raised. And this is how we will raise our kids." She stated like it was true fact.

"Well maybe I don't want to be like this anymore. And I will be damned if my kids are raised to step on people because they aren't like us." I stood you and walked off, leaving at gapped mouth Alice.

I needed a drink. And no not liquor, I learned my lesson with that shit.

"Ice Tea please hold the lemon." I smiled and laughed at the thought earlier, me telling Rose to eat lemons.

The guy handed me the glass. "Thank you"

Someone walked up to me and I didn't have to look to know it was Emmett. He was the only one built like a mountain that I know. Well besides Jacob.

"Are you ok?" he asked. He had the nerve to ask me if I was ok. I chuckled.

"Emmett why don't you tell me, am I ok? Seems to me like no one likes my answers, so fine you tell me how I am supposed to be feeling today so I will know." I set my glass down and looked at him. I had tears in my eyes and I couldn't stop those little traitors from falling down my face.

He pulled me into a bear hug. "It's just pre wedding jitters."

I pulled back from him. "Fuck pre wedding jitters. My world is falling apart and I really don't know if that's a bad thing."

He looked at me. "It was just a bad night. Your world is not falling apart over a bad night."

There was no way I could keep the smile from coming across my face. "Your right Emmett. It was a bad night. The next one will be better." I walked off……

HEEHEE Yes I know it's another cliffy. But you love me…. I won't keep you hanging very long.

I'm working on the next Chapter as we speak!!!!
