A/N: So, sorry I haven't updated in awhile. One thing to say before I go on. WHY IS A WHINY BELLA SO BAD WHEN EDWARD JUST DIED!!!! THIS HAS ALL TAKEN PLACE OVER LIKE THREE DAYS!!!!! SHE'S GONNA BE SAD, SO STOP COMMENTING ABOUT IT!!!! MY STORY, NOT YOURS! After this I won't be updating until mid-January. Sorry if this chapter is depressing, but a kid I go to school with died at lie 11:45 last night, not even a mile from where I am. As for your questions about the whole Emmett thing, I can't really explain because that would give the story away, but I hope you all stick with me to find out. I own a red jeep, Twilight Woods body spray and the New Moon game, but not Twilight.
Chapter Eleven: You Are Not Alone
Another day has gone I'm still all alone. How could this be, you're not here with me.
You never said goodbye, someone tell me why did you have to go and leave my world so cold
But you are not alone, For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart. But you are not alone Just the other night, I thought I heard you cry, asking me to come, and hold you in my arms. I can hear your prayers, your burdens I will bear. But first I need your hand, and then forever can begin.
Previously on TIJAD:
"We're not. She's coming here. Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, Rose and I are fighting along with the dogs, and Emmett is staying with you. She'll be here in ten minutes." After that, I blacked out.
Bella POV
I don't know how long I was sleeping; all I know is that when I woke up, Jasper wasn't there. I was alone, by myself in his bed. He just left me, he didn't make sure I was okay. I was starting to panic that he just left me, and then I saw a note from him sitting on the bedside table.
My sweet Bella,
I'm sorry I'm not here with you honey. It pained me to leave you, but I was needed to fight. I will be back by 1:00 pm at the latest. Don't worry, Emmett is here with you, you'll be safe. I've made him promise to be on his best behavior. Try not to worry about me too much darlin'. I promise to come back to you. Alice has seen everything and it will be fine. Until I see you again.
Love,
Jasper.
His words had me in tears. I was so nervous for them, but at the same time, I knew that would only make time go slower. I was starting to panic because I had no idea where Emmett was until I saw him come into the room carrying a plate of food.
"Hey Bellsy, how are you feeling?" He looked at me with pity in his eyes. "They'll be okay Bella. They have Jasper and Alice. You don't need to worry about them. I tried to make you food, but I kind of burnt it." He looked down ashamed, and it made me chuckle.
"It's okay Emm. I'm not that hungry anyways. Can you just sit with me, please?" He didn't say anything, but instead just walked to the bed and pulled me into his lap. I started crying uncontrollably in his arms and I didn't know why.
"Why are you crying Bella? What's the matter?"
"Oh Emm, I'm so scared. I know he said nothing would happen, but what if it does. What if something happens to him? I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have him in my life. He's the only one who can keep me from falling apart. I'm scared Emmett. Why do these things always happen to me?"
"Bella, nothing is going to happen. They will all be fine. You don't have to worry about them. Let us take care of you. You don't need to take care of us. Just try to breathe Bella. I'm not leaving you, Jasper isn't leaving you. None of us will ever leave you, I promise you." He kissed the top of my head, and rubbed my back.
"Thanks Emm. Sorry I ruined your shirt." I blushed and hid my head in his chest. I heard his phone ring, and he got up to answer it.
"Hello……yes…no…are you sure? Okay, I'll tell her." Emmett looked at me with worried eyes.
"Emmett what's the matter? What happened?" I had a feeling in my gut, but I didn't want to admit it.
"Bella, I'm so sorry. I don't know how to tell you this, but it's…you father Bella, he's… Victoria got to him. I'm so sorry." I felt like I couldn't breathe.
"Emm, I can't breathe, I can't breathe Emm. Why can't I breathe? What's happening? My throat is closing up Emm. I can't see you Emm…" for the second time that day, I passed out.
Emmett POV
When Carlisle told me, I didn't want to believe it. I knew I had to tell Bella, but when she passed out again I didn't know what to do. She couldn't breathe. She was having a panic attack. She lost Edward and Charlie, and she's afraid that she's going to lose Jasper too. I hope this fight is over soon. I looked at the clock and was shocked by the time 1:05 pm. SHIT!!!!! They're not home yet. Bella's going to freak if Jasper isn't here when she wakes up. I heard the door close downstairs and ran down there to figure out what happened.
"Carlisle, where's Jasper?" I had to find out, Bella will be so happy to see Jasper. He averted his eyes, which told me that this couldn't be good.
"He got hurt Emm." He sounded hurt; his son was injured while protecting his true love.
"Shit!!! Bella's going to go insane!" I all of a sudden became on edge. He would make it through this; he had to make it through this.
"Why?" He asked why? What the fuck, come on it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out and he's the doctor!
"Well, Edward, her father and now Jazz. He promised that he would be safe." I explained to a man that has been alive for centuries, he was the doctor, and me of all people was explaining why Bella was going insane. Is something wrong with this picture?
"Emm, he'll be in soon. He didn't want Bella to see him in pain." Well as long as he's here before she wakes up.
"Okay, that's okay." Now I was mumbling? What is wrong with me? I'm supposed to be manly, strong, loud, not mumbling.
"Yeah, so, just relax. As a matter of fact, I think he's with her now." I watched as the door swung open and Esme had Jasper cradled in her arms like a baby, her baby. Jasper looked like he was run over by a few Mack trucks. Now if you think of it, it sounds kind of funny, a vampire ran over by a Mack truck. As Esme moved across the room and placed Jasper down on the couch, he whimpered. A noise caught me, Bella was up. Maybe I could prolong her coming down stairs until Jasper could at least stop projecting his pain. I ran up stairs and to his bedroom, she stood in the door way.
"Are they back yet? Its 1:30 Emm, they have to be back." A stray tear rolled down her pink cheeks. I must have had worry written across my face. "Emmett, what happened? Who is it this time? Who got hurt Emm, tell me." She fell to her knees and put her face in her hands and for whatever reason my legs work, I couldn't go to her, and I didn't know why.
"Bella," I slowly walked to her and gathered her in my arms. I didn't know what to say or do. I felt an arm on my shoulder, I turned my head to my Rosalie standing there.
"Emmett, honey, I'll take it from here." I nodded, I gently placed Bella in her arms. I watched Rosalie walk into his bedroom and shut the door. I slowly walked back down the stairs, and walked straight over to Jasper. He laid on the couch and the pain I felt must be what he feels. I looked down at a beaten Jasper, new marks of were teeth had punctured his skin. He started to mumble something. I leaned in closer to hear what he was saying.
"Bella…where's Bella?" I felt as if I could cry, if it were possible. "Darlin', where is she? Is she safe?"
"Yeah, Jazz, she's safe. Rest, Carlisle is coming." I turned around, and Carlisle was just standing there as if he was in deep thought. "He's going to be okay, right?" I pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Yes, son, he will be fine. How's Bella? I'm taking it that the news about her father didn't go over well. Esme is on the phone with Renee now." He drifted off, this really had affected him. There wasn't much more I could do. I pulled over a chair and sat next to Jasper. I would wait with him.
Bella POV
I slowly woke up. I could hear faint talking down stairs, they're home! I jumped out of the bed and rushed to the door. I slowly opened it; I didn't know whether or not to run downstairs. If they're home, why hasn't Jasper came back to me? I stood in the door way thinking about what could be going on when Emmett appeared. "Are they back yet? Its 1:30 Emm, they have to be back." I could felt a tear running down my already hot cheek. "Emmett, what happened? Who is it this time? Who got hurt Emm, tell me." I dropped to my knees, my face feel into my hands, tears continuously feel down my cheeks. I knew it was him. He got hurt. He lied to me, he told me that he wasn't going to get hurt.
"Bella," it was him, just by the way he said that, I could tell. He lied to me. Why? I felt Emmett picking me up. I couldn't stop crying.
"Emmett, honey, I'll take it from here." Rosalie, no she can't see me like this. I felt weak, and didn't argue with any of them. I could feel her had smoothing my hair and she was humming something. "When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all. I'm on your side
When times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you." She continued to hum the beautiful song to me. "Bella, he will be fine. I promise you. As for your father, I'm so sorry Bella. Your mom is coming on the first flight to Washington." The tears came to an end and just left me in sniffles.
"Why my father? Why couldn't she have come after me? Is Jasper down stairs, I need to see him. I need to feel him, I need to know he's okay. Please Rosalie take me to him." I could feel more tears coming.
"Bella, I don't know, how about we get you cleaned up first. Your face is really puffing, and snotty. Let's get you into a shower and change, you'll feel so much better. While you're doing that, I will order you some Chinese food and get you some ice cream. I hear that always helps people when they're depressed." I chuckled. But I had to see Jasper and know he was okay before I would do any of those.
"ROSALIE! Please, I just need to know he's okay, please." I looked up at her, she nodded and stood up with me still in her arms. We slowly walked down the stairs, she stood me upright. Emmett stood up from a chair that was placed by the sofa. I could hear low moans coming from a figure that was lying on the couch. "Jasper," Emmett nodded and came over and took my hand and led me over to him. "Jasper, honey," As I stepped closer to him, I could see he was pretty badly beaten. I could feel the air rush out my lungs. I knelt down beside him and took his hand into mine and kissed his knuckles. "Jazz…"
"Darlin', I am so sorry. How will you ever forgive me darlin'?" He sounded so weak. He squeezed my hand gently.
"I already have Jazzy." I cried a little more and just sat there with his hand in mine. Before I knew it, I was asleep holding his hand, with my head resting on his chest.
