Bella's POV.
"Bella, let go of my hand. I know you can stand by yourself." Emmett said.
Emmett had taken me ice skating, claiming that I would have fun. But really, it has accident written all over it. I slowly let go of Em's arm and stumbled back to the ground. I fell on my butt.
"Ouch, dam it Emmett, I told you this was a bad idea." He was laughing so much I though he might pee his pants. He picked me up again."Bells, you can do it. Your just to nerves. Try to let go and have fun." I sighed and tried it.
After and hour of ice skating -only falling 3 times-, Emmett took me out to his favorite coffee shop. We talked and made jokes, I really loved hanging out with him. But then, he took me by surprise by the change of topic.
"Bella, why don't you tell Edward you love him?" how the hell did he know that.
"Because Em, he doesn't love me, he loves Tanya."
"Screw Tanya, fight for him. Bella I know he likes you, all you need to do is make him fall in love with you. Tanya doesn't deserve him. You too were meant for each other."
"Emmett, I can't. What if I loose him as a friend, I need him in some way. I'm nothing with out him. If friendship is all I get, it's all I'll ask." I laid my head on the table and sighed. Emmett patted me head.
"Hey kiddo, cheer up. It can't hurt to try. What's the worst that can happen, he just won't respond to your seduction. Don't tell him how you feel, just leave hints." I leaned and kissed his cheek.
"I'm really glad you found me."
"I'm really glad I found you too."
He took me home after walking at the park and playing with the snow. Mom was setting up the house when we got home, she ordered me to go and get dressed. I heard a knock on the door when I was done getting ready. It was Emmett, apparently he was suppose to escort me down the stairs. We made our way down the stairs with every eye on me. I could see Sasha, Tanya, Kate, Irina, and grandpa close by. There were four other face's I haven't meet yet. Before anyone could say anything dad came next to me and handed me a glass with sparkling cider, like I haven't had alcohol before. He cleared his throat and everyone stayed quite.
"I'm glad you could all make it here. We're here to celebrate our daughter Isabella Marie Swan's 17 birthday. We missed 16 years of wishing her a happy birthday, but she is here now. And that's all that matters. To Bella." he raised his glass up only to get responses from everyone else repeating his words 'To Bella'. His speech was really touching, I had to kiss his cheek. I could see him get all happy and excited. Then the four strangers I didn't know made there way to us.
"Bella, this are family. They weren't able to make it the other time, but they didn't want to miss your birthday. This is your uncle Eliazer and his wife Carmen, Eliazer is your mothers brother." I shuck his hand, and Carmen embraced me in a hug.
"Oh darling, your such a hermosa nina, such beauty. Natural and delicate, just like your mother. it's a wonderful thing that we have you back."
"She is right, it broke my heart when my sister told me that my niece had disappeared."
"Well, I'm glad I'm here and that I get the chance to meet you both." I said to them.
"This Bella, is my sister Jane. Her husband Aro couldn't make it, but she just wanted to meet you." I was attacked into a bone crushing hug by Jane.
"Oh Bella, I'm so glad to finally meet you. You really are such a beauty, I'm not sure anyone can compete with you. But the again you are a Cullen." everyone laughed except for Sasha and Tanya, they shot me glares but I shrugged them off.
"And lastly, this is your grand father Marcus, your mothers dad." he pulled me in for a tight hug.
"Oh sweet heart your such a precious jewel. I'm sure nothing will happen that will take you from us." he was such a sweet and warming man.
"Thank you all, this means a lot to me that you can except me into your arms after 16 years of not being with you." I told everyone.
"Bella, we loved you before you were even born. When we found out Esme was having a baby, we loved you already." grand pa Marcus said. I kissed his cheek.
"Esme honey, we need to talk about that money she's inherited too." he said looking at mom.
"Sure dad, but right now were celebrating my daughters birthday." we heard something break and turned to where the noise came from. It was Sasha, she had blood dripping from her hand and her glass was broken. Mom walked over to her.
"Sasha are you okay, come with me we'll clean it." Sasha left looking like she wanted to kill someone. We all sat down at the dinning room, we ate and talked about stuff. Jane asked me about my plans for the future and I explained that I was fallowing a singing career. Tanya snorted but ignored it. By the time dinner was done everyone was sitting around in the family room begging for me to sing, I was nerves as hell though. Emmett encouraged me though, saying that I would have to do this in front of millions of strangers, so I agreed. I decided to do a short one and finished one. I thought of the rhythm and melody Edward had helped me and began singing.
Raindrops, fall from, everywhere
I reach out, for you, but your not there
So i stood, waiting, in the dark
With your picture, in my hands
Story of a broken heart
Stay with me
Don't let me go
Cause I cant be without You
Just stay with me
And hold me close
Because I've built my world around you
And I dont wanna know what its like without you
So stay with me
Just stay with me
I'm trying and hoping, for the day
when my touch is enough
to take the pain away
Cause ive searched for so long
the answer is clear
We'll be okay if we don't let it disappear
Stay with me
Don't let me go
Cause I cant be without You
Just stay with me
And hold me close
Because I've built my world around you
And I dont wanna know what its like without you
So stay with me
Just stay with me
I've searched my heart over
So many many times
No you and I is like no stars to light the sky at night
Our picture hangs up to
remind me of the days
You promised me we'd always be
and never go away
thats why i need you to stay
Stay with me
Don't let me go
Cause I cant be without You
Just stay with me
And hold me close
Because I've built my world around you
And I dont wanna know what its like without you
So stay with me
Just stay with me
oooo.. oh
don't leave
so I stay waiting in the dark...
I took a deep breath and looked at everyone. Mom and Jane had tears, everyone else had smug and loving looks. Except for Tanya and Sasha of course.
"Bella that was beautiful, did you write that?" Jane asked.
"Yeah, but my best friend Edward helped me with the melody and sound. He did add a few words but the rest was pretty much me." I saw Tanya get up and head up the stairs to the bathroom. The door slammed.
"Darling your wonderful. I've never heard such a tender and beautiful voice before." Sasha snorte.
"Okay, you know just because she's back, that doesn't mean everyone has to act like that was the best thing in the world." I hated her.
"Sasha, tell me. What does Tanya have?" Eliazer said.
"She's beautiful, more then your dear niece."
"Bella is so much more beautiful, she has a natural beauty to her. She doesn't need all the make up and things your Tanya has." Jane spat.
"But beside's looks, tell me, does Tanya have a talent besides the talent of acting like a spoil brat." Elizer said. Wow. I was in shock. Everyone stayed quite, but Sasha never answered. I stood feeling awkward and excused myself to go to my room. When I was at the top of the stairs Tanya was there looking furious. I was about to walk away when she gripped my hand.
"Look Bella!" she spat. "I don't care if you're the family's center of attention, but you are to stay away from Edward." I couldn't help it, but I laughed. She actually thought she could get me to not talk to him.
"Tanya, not you or anyone can deny me that. You think he'll allow that to happen."
"I don't care what you or he want, you are doing what I'm telling you or I will get revenge." I wasn't scared of her, I was mad. She still had her grip on me, but it wasn't hurting. I gripped her arm harder making her whimper.
"You are not denying me anything. If you haven't gotten a clue yet, Edward cares for me more then he does for you. So fuck off Tanya" I let go of her arm. I saw Emmett looking down up the stairs with pride, but then I felt a push. I hadn't notice that the whole time we were by the edge of the stairs there was a vase of flowers next to me. I smashed my arm into it and fell on the stairs. I was awkwardly laying there until I went rolling down. I heard yells and cries of worry, but I couldn't bring myself to listen into them. But I could feel the pain in my arm, it was really hurting.
"Bella, baby. You'll be fine, Carlisle is going to get all the glass out." Mom said, she sounded so sad and broken. I looked at her and I saw it all in her eyes as well.
"Mom what's wrong, everything will be fine." I tried to consol her.
"Nothing it just hurts me that at any moment I can loose you again."
"Mother, I'm here and I'll be fine. Don't worry, nothing will take you from me." I looked up to dad. "Daddy, is it fine if I sleep now. I'm really tired."
"Of course Bella, just rest now. You'll be fine in the morning." I nodded and let sleep take over me.
I woke up in someone's arms. I looked up and saw Emmett holding me, he was awake.
"Good morning brother dearest." I said with happiness. He smiled from ear to ear.
"Hi Jelly belly how are you this morning." I raised and eye brow at his new nick name but shrugged it off.
"I'm great, oh I'm leaving today." I said with a little sadness, even though I did miss my friends.
"Yeah but don't worry we'll see each other in thanksgiving. Mom and Dad are moving soon, and I'll go and visit."
"Oh right." I got happy again. "So what's been going on while I've been sleeping?"
"Well, for one; mom screamed at Sasha and Tanya like if hell had frozen over. Ali called while you were alseep and I explained what happened, which got a pissed pixie want to kill some one. Edward called because our dear pixie sister decided to tell him and he demaned I tell him what happened. So I did and he was pissed, he called Tanya and broke up with her. You have a broken arm so you have to wear a cast for 2 months. You have a few stitches and small cuts on your back, but besides that your fine and everything is fine." wow, did that really happen in one night.
"Oh." was all I could say. Maybe now that Edward wasn't with Tanya, maybe I could fight for him. God knows how much I would love that. Just like Em said, there's no harm in trying.
Stay with me- Danity Kane
