A/N: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters. That golden treasure belongs to that lucky goddess of a woman, Stephenie Meyer.
Okay, the only question that has been asked this time (and repeatedly) is, is it Jasper and Emmet who over heard Bella's confession? Well, you're about to find out!
And sorry for taking so long to up date-it's the summer holidays over here in Australia and I've been busy busy busy!!!!
On with the show!
Chapter Thirteen: Everything's Gonna Be Alright
Jasper and Emmet stood (now) infront of me, mouths gaping at me as though I had died and come back to life. Well, I guess that kind of did happen.
"So, umm," I stumbled, "hey?"
They just gaped.
"Bella?" Emmet repeated. I nodded sadly. Slowly they took a step towards me. They kept on moving slowly, step by step, until they were arms length away from me.
"Bella?" Jasper said. They didn't seem to be able to get over the shock and actually grasp that it is me.
"Yeah," I said softly, "it's me."
Suddenly, I was enveloped in a massive bear hug.
"I KNEW IT!" triumphed Emmet, as I hugged him back cautiously. Jasper wasn't as cautious in joining in the hug. I had never seen him so carefree around me before.
"No you didn't," teased Jasper, "you just as confused and clueless as the rest of us." A light dawned on his face. "Except for the girls…" he murmured. He mockingly glared at me. "How long have the girls known?"
Emmet stopped hugging me when he heard that. He looked like he was trying to think whether Rose may have mentioned it when they were, er, busy.
"Well," I said, "Alice has known since the first day I first saw you guys again. And Rose and Esme only found out this weekend."
There was silence for a moment as they tried to think of all of the subtle hints that I may have accidently dropped.
"You need to tell Carlisle and Edward," they said in unison. They seemed to be doing that a lot today.
"I know," I whispered. "I'm going to tell Carlisle after school today."
They waited. I sighed.
"Whenever I go to tell Edward, something always happens and I get interrupted, or he goes away or, or, World War Three explodes!" I was hoping to make and lighten the atmosphere, but it didn't really work.
"I will tell him," I promised, "before the concert on Thursday. Just please, please, keep it out of your heads until then?"
They nodded their heads and I let out a sigh of relief.
RING!!
Our eyes widened as we realised we had missed the whole last period. We took one look at each others and burst out laughing.
We were still laughing as we walked towards the car. From the looks on Alice and Rosalie's faces, they knew that Emmet and Jasper knew. Alice probably had a vision. Edward just looked confused. As we all piled in to Edward's Volvo and Alice's Porsche, we were all chatting and laughing.
As Alice dropped me off at my house, I began to sing a new song as a walked through the door to get ready to go over to their house for the night and talk to Carlisle.
It started out so dark
So empty
So black.
But then everyone found out
