I don't own Twilight.

My bedroom door burst open and I didn't dare look up. I could hear his footsteps coming closer towards me, "Bella?" Emmett asked.

I looked up and a terrified broke free from my chest. I launched myself at him. I was crying and sobbing big snotty tears. It was actually quite disgusting, but Emmett didn't once pull away from me. He just let me slobber all over his shirt. I really owe Emmett a lot.

"Once wrong Bells? Why didn't you wait for me to drive home behind you? I thought something happened?" Emmett asked soothingly.

We went and sat down on the bed. I dug in my pocket and pulled out the letter, "This was in my car. I don't know how it got there."

Emmett read the letter and sighed again, "I need to call my team." He said.

He was about to get up when I called his name in a small voice, "Emmett?" He turned around at the doorway to look at me, "I may have done something. Stupid." I clarified.

Emmett came back and sat down next to me, "It can't be that bad Belly. Just tell me what happened."

I started sobbing again, "It just all got to me and I got so mad!"

Emmett hugged me again and asked, "Should I call Edward and Alice."

I nodded my head.

Emmett took out his phone and dialed what I assumed to be Edward's number. "Hey Edward? It's Emmett. We have a situation at Bella's house. Can you come over? Yeah, she's fine, just scared and worried. Bring Alice with you. Kay. Bye." Then Emmett hung up I stared up at him wide eyed, "Don't worry Bella. Edward and Alice will be here soon and then you can tell us all what happened."

I nodded my head and snuggled into Emmett again while we waited for Edward and Alice to come. As horrible as this sounds, Emmett was just a substitute until Edward came. I really just wanted to be in Edward's arms. I felt safest there.

Soon we heard the screeching of tires on the gravel out front. Edward and Alice had arrived in 3 minutes flat. Edward was an insane driver.

They knocked on the door and Emmett tried to get up, but I wouldn't let him, "Don't leave me Emmett!" I wailed clutching onto his shirt.

"Bella, I just have to get the door for Alice and Edward. They're going to be worried if we don't answer." Emmett said prying my hands off of his shirt. He left the room quickly and I wrapped my arms around myself crying hysterically. I just couldn't stop.

I heard a few pairs of footsteps coming up the stairs this time, instead of just Emmett's. Edward appeared first and rushed to my side pulling me close to him, "What happened Bella? Are you alright?" He asked eyeing me to make sure that I was not bodily harmed.

"I did something really stupid." I cried.

Edward just pulled me close again, "Don't worry Bella. You've got the whole town looking out for you."

I nodded and finally quieted down. I didn't notice, but Emmett and Alice were in the room too.

I motioned for them to sit down on the bed.

I began the story of how I got the second letter and that I just got so mad that he wasn't leaving me along. I told them all of how I lit the shirt on fire and threw it out the window and how I swore at James. And then the panic attack I had when I thought that Emmett was James.

"I'm sorry Bella. I didn't mean to scare you." Emmett said sadly.

"It's not your fault, it's mine. I shouldn't have over-reacted." I said.

"Actually it's James' fault. If it wasn't for him, none of this would be happening." Edward said angrily.

"Props to you though Bella," Alice said, "It took a lot of courage to stand up to James."

I gripped Edward's torso tighter, "But what if he goes after Edward though?" I asked.

"Don't worry Bella. I know how to protect myself. He won't get to me. I'm bigger anyways." Edward laughed and then flexed, making me giggle like a girl with a crush. Actually that's exactly what I was.

Edward grinned and seemed happy by the thought that he could at least bring a smile to my face.

Alice lifted a bag and shoved it in my face, "I brought movies Bella! I know that it's a school night, but I thought that we could have a girl's night and paint nails, eat junk food and watch chick flicks."

I grinned at this and Emmett and Edward groaned, "Dear lord! Another girly night!" Emmett groaned.

I laughed again, "That sounds perfect Alice."

"Great!" Alice said clapping her hands, "I also brought all my magazines of the last year with me. We can read those!"

Emmett then took that moment to escape the room, "Good luck Edward!" He called out.

I wasn't lightening my grip on Edward. Edward didn't seem bothered though, which I was glad for. He buried his face in my hair. I was glad that I washed it this morning.

"I'm sorry Edward, but you can't stay." Alice said.

Edward gave a fake sigh then said, "Well that's too bad. I was looking forward to watching the Princess Bride for the 50th time. Oh well."

Alice pouted, "That sarcasm deserves a punishment. Bring us some sundaes Edward."

I let go of Edward and he heaved himself off the bed and said, "I'll be back soon with your food!"

As soon as Edward shut the door behind him, Alice bounded onto the bed beside me bouncing lightly on the mattress, "We are going to have so much fun! And now that you're with me, Edward is going to do whatever we want because he's trying to impress you! This is going to be the best!"

I laughed with Alice. She was really diabolical.

Alice popped in the first movie, "Bring popcorn too Edward!" Alice screamed through the house.

"Coming right up!" He hollered back.

"See?" Alice giggled.

Alice was right, well she always is, but we did have fun. It was a good to have a break from life sometimes.

I phone Charlie and asked if Alice could sleep over. Charlie questioned us about it being a school night, but he let it go and ended up saying yes. I think he was glad that I was making new friends. I think Charlie worried that after this whole thing that I would be even more of a recluse.

Edward ended up staying the night also in Emmett's room, since both his siblings were staying here, I invited him too. Charlie put up more of a fuss for Edward though. After a small argument and I threatened to bring out the tears, Charlie finally just nodded and went to watch the game. I know, it makes me a bad daughter to take advantage of Charlie like that, but really, poor Edward. Everyone else is having fun at my house except him!

Edward and Emmett ended up watching one movie with us, since it wasn't really a "chick flick" as they put it. We watched Star Wars with them. It was the second one, so it had romance, but it was balanced out by the action in it, so they actually sat still for a few hours. They ate all our popcorn though. When Alice and I complained about it, they just said that they were much bigger than us, so they deserved more food. Alice had a conniption about that one!

Eventually the boys migrated to Emmett's room and Alice and I set up a little bed on the floor with a ton of pillows and blankets. There wasn't enough room on the bed for both of us and neither one of us wanted to take the bed while the other was on the floor, so we thought it would be more fun to set up a little tent out of sheets on the ground. I ended up stealing some of Charlie's sheets, but he didn't seem to mind because he saw that I was actually laughing and smiling.

The sheet that made the roof of the tent was tied to my bed and the other end was stuck under some books on my desks. We managed to get my small TV under the tent too so that we could still watch movies in there.

We managed to drape a few other sheets over the sides so that we were completely covered. It actually made me feel safer. I knew there was no way that James could see me through all the sheets. It was a lot of fun.

Eventually, Alice and I fell asleep. But it was only after hours of giggling and jokes.

I'm so glad to have a best friend like Alice. But who wouldn't be?

So there it is! It got a bit heavy there in the middle with the burning of the shirt and all the crying, but it got happier at the end. My sister and I actually did the tent thing in my room. Minus the TV because I don't have one in my room, but basically the same idea. We stayed up all night in the tent eating candy that I had and our parents went ballistic when we woke them up at 4 in the morning. They couldn't get us to go to sleep though because we ate too much sugar. Needless the say, the next day at school, I fell asleep at my desk and my mom got a phone call, which she ended up laughing about.

Anyways, thanks for reading! Please review!
