Chapter 12
Assumptions And Advice
EPOV
I pulled into the garage with Emmett right behind me in his jeep. I shut off the engine and opened my car door. Emmett was already out of his vehicle and walking towards mine. I stepped out and shut the door.
"Just get what you need Em, you know where the tools are." I said as I started to walk through the garage to the door that led into the house.
"Hey Edward let me get a drink really fast." Emmett ran up behind me and pushed me out of the way almost making me fall over. Luckily I had caught my balance and was able to regain my balance. However Emmett had ran into the house before I had a chance to tell him no.
I walked through the door of my house. I could feel the anger bubble inside of me. I tried to calm myself down by reminding myself that Bella would be in her room so Em would never even know she was here.
That was most certainly a road that I didn't want to travel down. Especially when it involved Emmett badgering me about her.
When I finally reached the kitchen Emmett was no where to be found.
I sighed as I made my way to the dinning room, but stopped as soon as I heard voices coming from around that area.
What the hell?
BPOV
"Honey its okay." Carlisle pulled Esme closer to him and patted her back.
I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't want this lovely lady who came to my rescue from the blonde bomb shell to almost cry over something that was not even going to happen. I opened my mouth ready to tell them the truth about everything, but was cut short and startled by a huge guy running out of the dinning room like a bat out of hell and into the hallway.
I think I actually screamed and jumped back a little.
"Emmett?" The blonde… I mean Rose said as he ran to her side and plastered a big wet kiss on her flawless rosy cheek.
"I did it! Edward is here." He stated proudly as he stood up taller puffing his chest out and had a smile on his dimpled face.
"Wow that's a first." She had a stunned look on her face not knowing whether to believe him or not.
"And you thought that I couldn't keep a secret." He said still smiling. He then turned to face everyone else and stopped when his eyes reached mine.
"Who is this?"
"Oh that's Edwards new girlfriend." Rose said.
"But I'm not…"
I started to speak but Edward came busting in the room his nostrils flared and his face a slight shade of red.
He was fuming.
Shit! Coming out of my room was a bad idea.
"Emmett? What the hell…..o!" He said as he took in the scene in front of him.
"Edward, honey!" Esme rushed over to him and pulled him into a tight hug.
He hugged her back for a few moments and then released her.
"What are you all doing here?" He asked.
"What… no its nice to see you all again or I missed you!" Rose asked as she crossed her arms over her chest and shifted her weight to her right foot. One perfect eyebrow of hers shot up and her full lips formed in a tight straight line.
Edward simple disregarded her comment and looked at Carlisle for answers.
"Well we thought we would surprise you and came see you for the Thanksgiving holidays only we didn't know that you had already had plans with this lovely young lady over here." Carlisle answered as his hand pointed to me.
Edwards head turned to see who he was pointing at.
"Bella?"
There were several emotions that flashed across his face. Confusion, Worry, Stress, Anger, and then the last one that he choose to settle on was calm.
Edward looked back over at Carlisle. His lips in a tight straight line and his eyes in tiny slits.
"Yes well if you all would excuse me for a moment."
"Of course son. We will wait here." Carlisle said.
Edward came up to me and grabbed my hand literally dragging me into the dinning room and then into the kitchen which he then pulled me through the door till we were in the garage.
He had so many cars it was unbelievable. He wasn't lying when he told me he collected sports cars, old and new as a hobby, but I couldn't focus on that right now because Edward was in front of me and wanted my undivided attention. His calm facial expressions now formed into angry ones.
"Miss Swan do you mind telling me what the hell you are doing out of your room?" He yelled at me while he pinched the bridge of his nose.
Great were back to Miss. Swan now?
I really pissed him off, but I could understand why he was upset. If I would have just played by the house rules then we wouldn't be in this predicament right now.
He paced back and forth in front of me. The bottom of his shoes scraping the ground as he walked.
"I uh…I" I couldn't find the words to speak. Either way no matter what I said or what excuse I came up with he was going to hit the roof.
"Well?" I flinched as it seemed his voice kept rising every time he spoke.
"I just wanted to see if you made it back yet."
"Bella you know I would have came and got you if that were the case"
I cast my eyes down and looked at my shoes. I heard him sigh and say something under his breath that was inaudible.
"Bella please look at me."
When he spoke his voice was no more then a whisper and when I looked up from the ground his eyes were soft. He reached for my hand and laced our fingers together. I was glad to see that he was no longer mad at me. He ran his other hand through his hair.
"Okay, what exactly did my family say to you before I got here?"
"Well Rose thought I was an employee of yours."
"Did she treat you rudely?"
His face started to look fierce again.
I didn't want him to go back to being enraged so I told him a little white lie.
"No she wasn't rude."
I could see he relaxed a little and mumbled under his breath about "that's a first". He must have known Rose well to automatically assume that her behavior would be far from polite.
"Anything else?"
"Well Esme and Rose thought we were dating after I had cleared up the misunderstanding about me not being an employee of yours."
I watched as all the color from Edwards face drained and he turned ghost white. This was bad. This was really bad. He dropped my hand then and started pacing.
Would it really be that bad to date me?
"How did you respond to that?"
"Well I never gotten a chance to answer them because right when I was fixing to tell them the truth the one that I suppose is Emmett came crashing through the room."
"Okay its fine I just need to tell them that they made a mistake in assuming that we were together… that's all it was… a stupid mistake."
When I heard those words come out of his mouth I stepped back towards the door. It felt like a knife was just stabbed into my chest. Edward noticing my departure looked at me with confusion.
"Bella? Are you okay?"
My words were barely more then a whisper and came out shaky as I couldn't control the lump in my throat and the tears that were about to be shed.
"Would dating me really be a stupid mistake?"
Edward opened his mouth to answer, but before I could even hear it I turned around and raced through the door, though the kitchen, and past all his family. I could hear Edward screaming my name trying to catch up with me, but I didn't slow down until I reached the elevator. I hurried up and hit the button and the door closed just in time before Edward had a chance to stop it with his hand.
I leaned back against the wall with my hands on my knees trying to catch my breath from running and crying at the same time.
Once it stopped at my floor I ran out of it before the doors were even opened all the way and raced to the bedroom where I shut and locked the door behind me. I went over to the bed and flopped down with my face in the pillow and cried till I fell asleep.

There I stood at the door of Bella's room and listened to her cry till eventually it turned into soft whimpers and then nothing but silence filled her room and the hallway I stood in.
I had planned on entering her room to give her an explanation, but the door was locked. I decided that maybe it was best if I let her cry this out hoping that in the morning she would be more reasonable to talk to.
I was in no way meaning that dating Bella would be a mistake, I just meant that my family made a mistake. However my wording of it came out all wrong and before I had a chance to correct it she was already running away from me.
I went back downstairs to my family who was now all situated in the library. When I walked in everyone looked at me, but the only face I saw was my mother Esme's.
Disappointment flooded her beautiful face.
"Before any of you say anything let me just say I don't want to hear it." I brought my hand up as if to make my statement more stern. However no one listened to me and all of them started to talk at once.
"Edward what the hell did you do to her?" Rose snarled at me.
"Edward I raised you better then that." Esme said in her low saccharine voice
"Your mothers right son" Carlisle learned long ago its always best to agree with mom no matter what she said. He always told me that, that is why there marriage lasted as long as it has.
And then last but not least Emmett who instead of scolding me had a smirk on his face and said.
"Its about damn time man. I was beginning to wonder if you were even attracted to women anymore."
I shot Emmett a go to hell look.
"Emmett your not helping anything." Esme scolded and then looked back at me. "Now Edward tell me what is going on. I hate to think that we caused that poor girl all this pain because we are here."
"Esme what are you talking about? We didn't cause her any pain. That was all Edward… or should I say dickward."
It was clear that Rose's distaste towards me was still in full flame, but that was okay because the feeling I had towards her was mutual.
Esme sighed, heaved herself from the coach and walked over to me putting her arms around my shoulders.
"Edward how about we talk in private hmm?"
Well I guess if I had my choice of talking to anyone about this is would be my mother.
With a sigh I nodded my head and turned to walk out the door to my office where we could talk without the interruptions of anyone else. Esme followed quickly and once she was in the room she softly shut the door behind her.
I sat in the chair and Esme sat on the coach. It was the same places that me and Bella had sat during her interviews questions.
It was hard to believe that she had only been here for three days.
Three days and I'm already in over my head.
"Okay Edward start from the beginning."
With a sigh I began.
Over the span of two hours I told my mother everything from the first time I seen Bella out in the driveway from my window all the way up until the point when she ran away from me before I had a chance to explain things.
"Well Edward your father and I were wondering why Bella and you came flying out into the hallway so fast. However what was that loud noise we heard in the dinning room?"
"That was me, my foot caught the leg of one of the dinning room table chairs and it fell to the floor, had that not of happened I probably would have been able to catch her at the elevator."
"I see." Esme clasped both her hands together and looked down at them and then back up at me. "Well Edward I know that you are a smart man and I don't wont in anyway to pry in your love life, but why haven't you told Bella the truth? If you want this to work she is going to have to find out sooner or later."
I got up from the chair and went to the shelves of books and pulled one out flipping through it.
"I don't know mom. I'm just worried that, that is going to push her away when she finds out what a horrible person I really am."
As soon as the words left my mouth I felt Esme's hands on my shoulder. She turned me to face her.
"Son I want you to listen to me and listen to me good. What happened was in no way your fault. Stop pinning all the blame on yourself. Now I know your scared of what Bella will say and your scared of losing her, but if you never open up to her then in the end you may lose what your fighting so hard to keep. You have to be honest with her, and if she is the girl that you just described to me then son I know she will understand. Give the girl more credit"
Mom as always was right, however I didn't want to have this discussion with Bella until my family was gone which would be in a few days.
I figured as long as they were here they might as well stay until Thanksgiving, which lucky for me was only two days away.
Hell with mom here it might even help ease some of the tension that was surly to be between me and Bella in the up and coming days.
After mom and me finished talking I walked her back down to the library so she and my dad could retire to there room for the night.
When we got to the library I opened the door to find dad sitting on the couch reading a book. When the door made a creaking sound he looked up from it.
"Is everything okay now son?"
"Yes everything is fine." I looked around the room expecting for Rose to chime in with one of her discourteous comments, but her and Emmett were no where to be found.
"Where is Rose and Em?"
"They decided to go to there room and get ready for bed. I have to say that seems like a pretty good idea." Carlisle yawned and sat the book on the coffee table. He walked over to Esme and took her hand in his. "How about you sweetie? Are you ready to turn in for the night?"
"Yep I think so." She looked over at me and grabbed my hand with her free one. "Don't stay up to late Edward." She squeezed my hand before letting it go and walked out of the room with dad… leaving me alone with only my thoughts to keep me company.
A/N
Okay so what did you think? Sorry this took so long, but the chapter just didn't seem right and I think it still is in need of work, but I was getting frustrated with it. Please review and let me know. I am always 3 away from my goal so this time I think I just want to reach a total of 105 reviews… that's only 13. More would be great. I know yall want to review this chapter. It would make my day if yall did. As always thank you so much for reading and reviewing.
PLEASE HELP ME… I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THAT I NEED ANSWERS TO SO IF YOU HAVE THEM PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
Okay I have a question about some of the recent subjects that are going around on here at the moment.
You see I planned on my story to have some LEMONS in it, however I don't want to have to remove my story because it offends some people so can someone PM with the details of why they are banning stories and why some are still on here. I'm a little bit confused with that. Also PM me and let me know if you want this story to have lemons or not. I would really like to hear from yall on this matter.
Like I said before I don't want to offend anyone, however if the majority wants LEMONS then LEMONS they will get… providing I find out what's going on with banning situation. Also if you don't tell me whether or not you want lemons and I end up putting them then please do not complain!
