Bella's POV
Emmett was sure getting on my nerves. He still had that whole thing against me wanting to know about the paint mess. Of coarse I chose not to tell him. If I did I was going to be mocked, and I didn't really want that.
"Alice what are you doing?" I asked one day watching as the pixie like vampire flittered around the kitchen looking for pots and pans.
"Me?" Alice said coming out of her trance. "Oh, nothing" she said ducking her head and giggling slightly.
Edward came walking through the door and froze staring at Alice. "What?" He said looking over to Alice who smiled gleefully at him. "Never" he said his voice coming out at a snarl.
Alice's eyes became plea full. "Please?" she whispered.
"No!"
"Pretty please?" Alice said as her face turned to a puppy dog's face.
"That is never going to work" Edward said crossing his arms and walking over and sitting down on the couch next to me.
"Come on Edward!" Alice voice was a whine now. "Please!"
"NO!" His voice snapped on its way out, causing me to shudder.
I sat in utter shock as the conversation before me continued. "Will one of you tell me what's going on?" I asked making them both turn their heads towards me, just realizing that I was still in the room.
There was a moment of silence as Edward turned his head and glared at Alice. She turned her head away from my view and walked back to the kitchen.
"Hello?"
Edward looked over at me subtlety. "Yes Bella?" He said his face becoming genial.
"Never mind" I said shaking my head and looking down into the palm of my hand. He didn't even talk when he had that conversation with Alice. So I guess he doesn't want me to know about what they were talking about. "Look at this" I said pointing down to the scar James had given me so many years before. "Do you remember how I got it?" I said looking over into his amber eyes.
His face crumbled slightly. "Yes" He said after looking at the scar for what seemed an eternity.
After three minutes of him staring at me while I looked intently into my hands, Edward grabbed my hand and turned it over. "Edward?" I said looking up at him confused
"I can't stand looking at that scar anymore, and remembering the sorrow it brought you"
Why did Edward have to say that? "Edward cut it out!" I said standing up from the couch I had sat down on and pulled my black sleeve over my hand. "UH!"
"Are you okay?" Alice said from the kitchen her head appearing in the doorway.
"Wh- AH!" I screamed letting out all of my frustration. "Why do guys always worry about me?" I said my hands closing tightly around my hair in annoyance. "I am a vampire now too! I'm not as fragile as I was when I was a human!" My knees crumpled and I fell to the floor my hands catching my body before my head hit the ground.
"Bella!" Edward said coming over to my side and placing his hand on my shoulder. As I shook my head and I felt like my body was going to produce tears again and let me cry, but nothing came. He swiftly picked me up by the waist and cradled me against his chest.
"Let me go!" I said trying to push away from Edward, but being an unfortunately week vampire compared to him, I was still held against my will in his arms.
"Bella, what is wrong?!" Alice said running up to Edwards's side and touching my head lightly.
Her last remark just blew it. I pushed hard against Edwards chest, and was flung across the room until I hit the wall with a loud bang which caused Esme to come running.
"What in the-?" Esme said coming through the door I was exiting. I almost crashed into her, but missed her by an inch.
"Next time" I said glaring at Edward now. "Don't act so sentimental" I said running for my bedroom door, but tripping over my foot as I reached it.
"Bella?" Jasper asked as he came walking out of his room. "You okay?"
"Go away Jasper" I said standing up quickly and entering my room.
I looked around and saw my room looking clean and spiffy again. The paint was stacked back on the shelves, the bed was made, and I had a new blank canvas sitting on my desk with a note laid on top of it.
Bella,
Here is a blank canvas. We know that we ruined your picture, and we wanted to make sure you fulfilled your dream in finishing it. Thanks for coming back to us.
Love,
Your Family
Wow. I was dumb. I had just made a complete fool of myself, just to walk into my room and find a card from the Cullens that made me feel all bubbly inside. "Oh God" I said looking up to the ceiling as my head fell back against my back.
Edwards POV
Bella was so somber at the moment. I was going to go find her and try to get her out of her mood, but I thought against the idea and went into my room instead. There I turned on the CD player and listened to Speeding Cars by Imogen Heap.
"Here's the day you hoped would never come. Don't feed me violence, just run with me through rows of speeding cars-" I started singing along with the song under my breath, but I froze as there were three slight nocks on my door.
"Edward?" said the softest voice in the world. Bella. Her scent hit me in full steam as I she opened the door slightly. She poked her head around the door then walked in with her head hanging low.
I walked over to Bella wrapping my arms around her waist. "Thanks" she said sighing against my shoulder.
"For?"
"Cut it out Edward!" she said looking up into my eyes. "You know perfectly well what I just thanked you for. I stared at her in confusion for a minute before she broke the silence. "For the canvas" she said taking a step away from me to the CD player and turning the music down slightly. "and" she said turning to face me once again. "For not thinking I went mad when I was upset back there"
"Oh I already know that you are mad" I said sarcastically
Bella smiled as she hit me playfully then pulled me out the door, leading me back towards the kitchen where Alice was waiting for us.
YAY! I managed to have time to write another chapter! Sorry about Bella's rant in this one. So now that Bella is happy again with the whole family, how will Alice get involved in the situation? What does she have in store for the family? Ooooo! Read and find out!
OH! I almost forgot! I have a book recommendation for you to read; well actually you should probably just read all of the stories written by vjgm. Then there is the story called My Personal Valentine by ronOReds. Thanks for reading!
