(A/N) Sorry if last two chapters where boring and short. I've been so busy. Thank goodness I'm not as busy now; I know I said that I this chapter would be posted yesterday, I got grounded and my laptop got taken away. It a good thing I can sweet talk, 'because I was looking at getting at least a month. Please forgive me for not posting yesterday, I promise to be a good girl :)
Bella's POV
"Hey Belly!" Emmett called from down stairs; I sighed and closed my book. How many times did I tell him to stop calling me Belly? I got up from my bed and walked to the top of the steps staring down at Emmett's large head. We've lived here in Alaska since I was six and it still amazes me at how much our home is like the one in Forks.
"Honestly, Emmett. Why must you acerbate people all the time?" I asked with my eyebrows raised.
"Acerbate? You spend too much time with Edward, Belly. You should get out more often." Emmett said with a chuckle. I rolled my eyes, there was nothing wrong with having a higher vocabulary than a third grader.
"No, Emmett. I think she spends just the right amount of time with me. At this rate she'll be in high school before she turns thirteen." Edward's velvet voice came from behind me, I turned to see him walking toward me with his signature crooked grin. My heart started to beat unevenly, and my breathing ragged as he stepped closer to me.
"Are you alright?" Edward asked cocking an eyebrow at me, I pulled my eyes from him and blushed.
"Yes, Emmett's getting on my nerves is all." I lied.
"Ah, come on Bella. It's my job as a big brother." Emmett called up. I fought the urge to give him the finger or curse at him, Esme wouldn't approve of a foul mouth.
"Just ignore him, all he wants to do is get on your nerves." Jasper said coming out of his and Alice's room. "Alice wants you, she said something about you going to a guys house this afternoon." He added opening a book up and peaking up at Edward.
"A boyfriend?" Edward asked me, I smiled up at him and nodded. Andrew was just a friend, and I knew Edward would go all 'protected' on me.
"A boy who is a friend. Yes, Edward." I said walking toward Alice's room.
"You're only ten; you don't need a boy who is a friend." He said sneering the words boy and friend.
"You're a boy, and you're my friend." I pointed out, opening Alice's door.
"But that's different. We're family, you're my little sister." He said.
I froze, he never made the distinction that I was his sister. I looked down at the floor, It didn't matter, Edward was my brother I guess. But I was a little bummed out that he thought I was his sister, I never thought we had that sort of relationship.
"Esme, tell me you didn't allow Bella to start dating." Edward said with frustration. I was about to pull my hair out! This was not, would not, and would never be, a date. But that didn't matter, why would Edward say I was his 'little sister'? For one, I wasn't little. Two, I never thought of Edward as my brother, and he never said I was his sister. So why now? And why did it even matter? It's not like I like Edward..
"What's wrong Bella?" Jasper asked suddenly. I blushed and walked through Alice's door. This was stupid and pointless, I shouldn't even be having thoughts like that.
"Nothing." I mumbled before closing it and turning to look at Alice who was sitting on her bed crossed leg smiling brightly at me
"What?" I asked curiously. Alice's smile faded and she looked down at the clothes in her hands.
"I was just wondering what you want to wear to Andrew's house." She said holding up a blue dress that ended right above the knee and another purple sundress with a black bow around the waist. I didn't even take me a moment to decide.
"Neither, I'm wearing this." I said pointing down at my Jeans and flannel t-shirt.
"Bella, be reasonable." Alice said with a frown.
"I am, Andrew is my friend. This isn't a date, Alice." I said walking to sit on her bed.
"But this is the first boy's house you're going to." Alice squealed throwing the purple dress to me.
"You're wearing that, I already saw your da-yyy" She emphasized the 'y' in day to show that she wasn't about to say date.
"Alice, please." I whined, I really didn't want to dress all up to go to a friend's house. Just a friend, everyone seriously needed to chill.
She shook her head violently, folding her hands over her chest. Whatever
I rolled my eyes and snatched the dress that had fallen on the bed. I walked out the door only to run into Esme. Who was as hard as can be!
"Hey Esme, I was just going to change." I said moving around her.
"Bella wait." She said hurriedly. I paused and turned toward her, she looked…concerned and nervous.
"This is your first date and I-"
"This is not a date!" I yelled, storming away from her and heading straight for my door. Edward was leaning casually against my door frame a smug look on his face. He opened his mouth to talk but I glared stopping him.
"Don't talk to me, this is your fault." I said slamming the door in his face. Maybe I would just call Andrew and tell him I wasn't coming, if this was the crap I had to go through just to go to a friend's house then it was pointless.
"Come on, Bella. Unlock the door, it's not my fault." Edward said rattling the door knob.
"Will you leave me alone; I'm going to Andrews whether you like it or not. Actually, I might go just to push your buttons" I said with clenched teeth.
"Open the door" Edward commanded.
I sat down on my bed and crossed my arms. No way was I giving into Edward; he was the cause of all my problems. I didn't get a cell phone on my tenth birthday because he talked Carlisle out of it, saying I was 'too young' and 'It's dangerous Carlisle, do you want Bella to die'. Honestly, Edward overreacted just a little bit.
"You have three seconds to open this door." He commanded, "One…two…."
What was he going to do? Break my door down. I chuckled at the thought; sure Edward had muscles and nice abs, and a tone tight bu-
Bella! Watch what you're thinking!
I shook my head. There was seriously something wrong with me.
There was a large crack and I looked up to see my door completely shattered on the floor, a furious Edward standing in the doorway. I looked at my door in horror, now I was never going to get privacy. But more importantly, how in the world did he turn my door into saw dust? I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. Was Edward taking steroids? All the years I've spent with the Cullen's, I've noticed some…strange things.
Like how everyone could hear what I was doing, or how Emmett had some kind of weird super human strength like Edward just showed. I have lived with the Cullen's for four year and not once had I seen them eat or go out on a sunny day and just soak up the sun, I for one loved the sun. And I could never go out and play, because I was two young and everyone had to do something inside.
I stared at Edward, and he stared back frozen and not breathing
"Have a good time." He said finally breathing; he turned and practically ran out of my door. I stared in confusion, what was that about? He comes in my room, no he breaks into my room, because he was mad about me going to a boy's house unsupervised and then he says 'have a good time' and walks away?
There was something very odd about Edward… and everyone else in our family. I found it very strange how none of them ever ate or drank anything in front of me. Or how on a sunny day no one would take me outside and play with me. Every time I asked, something came up and I had to stay inside on a nice day.
But none of that explained how he broke my door…
"Bella?" Alice called from my doorway, I looked up to see Alice staring off into space.
She was having a vision.
"Alice, what do you see?" I asked rushing toward her. I put my hands on the side of her face trying to calm her. She blinked and came back to present time, she looked drained and… anxious?
"You're not going to Andrew's house today, Bella. We need to have a family talk." She said rubbing her head.
A family talk? What was going on, and what was they keeping in the dark?
(A/N) Okay so that all for now, no promises on my next update. Last time I did, I got grounded. So hopefully tomorrow. :) Thanks for reading. Leave me a review?
