Chapter 9
Alice POV
I sat holding bella for about two hours before her breathing steadied and her heart rate evened. I laid her down and moved to call Emmett back I figured we should talk to rose now while my bella was still sleeping.
I opened the phone and dialed Emmett. He answered.
"bella? Alice?" he is so cute when he worries. I was glad I had Emmett as my big brother. He could always scare away the figurative monsers in my closet.
"it's me big brother. Bella just went back to sleep. I -"
"she was up and you didn't have her call me! I've been worried out of my mind. Not to mention Esme's been constantly pacing back and forth waiting for an update." Emmett was nearly shouting through the phone.
"Emmett! Calm down. She was up for a while but it mostly consisted of her crying. She wouldn't even let me touch her when she first woke up. Then I gave her some aspirin like Carlisle instructed me to and asked her how she felt and she broke down crying herself back to sleep."
"ooh alice I'm sorry. We're just worried about her. So what were you calling about?"
"I was going to tell you to bring Rosalie by now so we can talk to her. I want to do it while bella is sleep so I don't have to leave her alone later when she wakes up."
"are you sure telling rose is a good idea?" he asked. I could ell he was hesitant of her reaction. It made me smile to know that evean as the strongest vampire I've ever met he was still scared of his wife.
"yes Emmett. She'll find out eventually anyway and be pissed off that we didn't tell her. At least this way she knows what's going on and can maybe help bella get through this."
He sighed and then spoke "okay kitty we'll be there soon" with that he hung up. I moved back over to bella she looked to be at peace as I sat beside her and ran my hand through her messy hair.
Emmett and Rosalie should be here in a in a few minutes. Our house is no further than a three minute run. I moved to the window and looked for any signs of my siblings. After a few seconds saw a few of the trees tremble. It was undoubtedly Emmett being Emmett. I moved back over to bella and kissed her forehead before leaving her room to meet the pair down stairs.
I opened the door the door just as Rosalie was telling Emmett off for "being such a moron"
He looked at her and said "Babe the bitchiness is unnecessary," in aal the year I've known Rosalie I've come to realize that she loves the way Emmett can call her on her bullshit and that he has no reserve in tell her that she's being a bitch. I've also come to learn that he's the only one that can get away with it.
"hey Rose, Em. Come in."
"key kitty"
"hey alice Emmett said we needed to talk"
"yes we do." I moved aaside as they both walked in.
"what exactly do we need to talk about that I couldn't be told at home."
"well Emmett and I need to talk to you but seeing as I couldn't leave bella alone" she looked at me suspiciously.
"what exactly did happen to Bella?"
"that's what we want to tell you." I led the through to Bella's kitchen we each took a seat around the table
"okay whats going on. Emmett told me Bella was hurt and Edward left. What does Bella being hurt have to do with what you have to tell me." I felt a spike of anger go though me at hearing her say HIS name. I breathed in deeply and then spoke
"well I guess I should start off. With the conversation I had with Emmett a about two days ago. I was sitting in a tree and Emmett found me we talked about why I was acting so strange around Jasper and Bella."
She looked at me knowingly. "and why were you acting so strange"
"because I'm in love with Bella."
"I'm glad you finally came to your senses and figured that out. It was driving me insane. But I'm still failing to realize what this has to do with Bella being hurt" I knew this would get harder for me to explain as I got further along in what happened but I wanted to get out as much as possible before my emotions took over.
I sighed "I'm getting to that. after I talked to Emmett I ran to find Bella. I had no intentions on telling her my feelings only spending some time in her presence. I found her and things got a little more physical than the should have but we didn't have sex. I promis you that." I looked in her eyes pleading with her to understand. "I stopped before that could happen. I left to hunt and as I was hunting…" I breathed in deeply I knew I was going to have an issue with continuing. Emmett seeing my dilemma took over from where I left off.
"she got a vision and called me to meet her here and bring Carlisle. I didn't know what the fuck was going on when I got here all I knew was she has just pushed Edward out of the window and jumped down and started effectively whopping his ass. when me and Carlisle got separated the him and Edward and our own personal vampire version of Laila Ali here we tried to get the story out. All we could get at first was that Edward did something and apparently Alice was going to kill him for it. Honestly I don't think there was any doubt in mine or carlisle's mind that isf we weren't there she probably would have killed him."
By this time I was furious again just thinking about what he did to my angel. Made me want to run and find him and rip him limb from limb. I sat with my eyes closed, clenching and un clenching my fist ,breathing deeply trying to remain in control of myself. Only three words repeating in my mind at the moment: Bella needs you. As I heard Rosalie speak I opened my eye but kept repeating those words in my head.
She looked at me. taking in my stance and what Emmett had just said I could see her grasping onto what we were trying to tell her. She spoke her voice shaky but clear. "what did Edward do to her exactly?"
I could see it in her eyes that she knew what we were telling her she just needed the confirmation. I looked at her and stated "he accused her of sleeping with me and forced his self on her. He didn't actually have sex with her but he assaulted her."
I could see the anger in her eyes that matched mine. I felt the blow up coming but there was nothing that could be said. She had to vent and say everything that was building up inside her so I let her. Emmett moved to place his arms round her shoulders as if to keep her grounded. Her voice came out filled with rage.
"how could he? he was supposed to ove her? He knew what that could do to someone. He saw my memories. He knew how frequently I relived them. why would he subject her to that. constantly thinking of him as her tormentor. No matter what she did even if she did fuck you that gives him no right to her body. No right to her innocence. He was suppose to be protecting her from pain not inflicting it. What happened to the gentleman that he was suppose to be. Did he lose his fucking mind. Where is he now? He needs to know tere is a price for his actions." She finished her rant voice loud with anger. She stood up but Emmett was holding her. He knew she would try to leave and find him. He could be anywhere and with his ability to read our minds from a father away then we can detect him it would be a lost cause before it was even started.
"we don't know. I haven't gotten any visions of him. I haven't really been focusing my mind on that asshole only on -"
"what is all this yelling about." Bella asked.
All the vampires in the room whipped there heads around to see her standing with her hands wrapped around her torso.
Emmett released Rose and made a move towards Bella. Rosalie stopped him before he could go any further seeing how Bella shrank away from his movement.
"Emmett! Don't touch her. Ask her first before you make a move to touch her. she maynot want to be touched right now." was rose's explaination to him. He looked to Bella and thought over his words before speaking.
"hi Bella. I was really worried about you. I'm glad to see you awake. I only wanted to hug you and let you know that your big vampire teddy bear was always here for you." He stood in his spot looking at her waiting for her answer
"if it is okay I would rather you not touch me right now but I am glad to know that my vampire teddy bear is always here for me" there was a ghost of a smile playing on her lips at the end of sentence.
Emmett nodded understandingly. Then Bella spoke again. "no one ever answered my question. who was yelling and why?"
Rosalie looked up at her "I'm sorry Bella that was me. they just told me what happened and I flew off the deep end. Please forgive me if I disturbed you."
"it's okay. I'm going back upstairs now." And with that she turned around and ascended the stairs. I heard her door close before Rose started speaking again. This time much more quietly.
"Alice if it is okay I would like to talk to Bella. I know she needs you and I will not interrupt your time anymore than this but for my own sanity I need to speak with her myself. If she knew that she wasn't alone, that there are others that have gone through stuff like this it might help her." As much as I wanted to stay with bella I knew that her speaking to Rosalie might help her.
"okay I'm going to the house to gather some things then I'm goignto talk to Charlie about staying here for a few day to help bela get over her and Edwards 'break up' just call me before you leave so I can be back."
With that me and Emmett left and Rosalie started slowly walking up the stair.
I so hoped that their talk would have a positive effect on Bella.
