Emo Singer Bella
Previously in Chapter 13…
"Well since I'm the winner, I declare your punishment shall be…" Emmett started. His mischievous grin scared Jasper and I. We sat there anxiously awaiting his answer.
Chapter 14 – How could? What? I…
Bella P.O.V
We sat there waiting…
And waiting…
And waiting…
"Oh for goodness sake Emmett! Hurry up the suspense is killing me!" I nearly yelled.
He rolled his eyes.
"So impatient…" he muttered. We waited for another minute.
A sly smile came across my face as I realized what he was doing.
"You have no idea what our punishment is, do you Emmett?" I asked him. He chuckled nervously.
"Of course I do."
"You're a rotten liar Emmett," I told him. He threw his arms up in the air defeated.
"Ok ok, I got nothin'." He sat down on the sofa with an exasperated sigh.
"Ha ha! I'm just too good," I chuckled with everyone else. Suddenly Emmett's eyes brightened and he sat up straight.
"Oh God…" Edward muttered. I turned to him getting lost in his gorgeous eyes.
"What's he thinking?" I whispered worried. He just shook his head smiling faintly.
"Oh Bella?" Emmett said, a little too cheerfully.
I turned to him slowly, still worried.
"Y-yes Emmett?" I stuttered. Emmett started to get up off the sofa slowly a dark smile on his face.
"Bella run!" Edward shouted, but with a laughing tone.
Suddenly Emmett lunged at me with hands out and ready to tickle.
I screamed and leaped of the couch. Everyone was already in hysterics.
Emmett recovered from the floor and smiled at me again.
"Oh crap!" I yelled and bolted up the stairs, I could hear Emmett right behind me I was turning the corner when Emmett caught me, but I tripped on something and went straight through the 'locked' door in front of me. Since Emmett never let go of me he toppled down on me as we fell through into the room. After a few seconds of laughing I realized what room we were in.
Charlie and Renee's room.
Everyone else had come up the stairs with us and was laughing their heads off.
It was then that I screamed. Putting everyone in silence, even the people occupying the room.
I jumped up.
"R-Renee? How…Who...What?!" I yelled.
Renee was in bed, with just a sheet covering her. She was obviously naked. With another man I had never seen before in my life. He looked so familiar though.
He was tan, had dirty blonde hair and deep blue eyes and his nose was slightly pointed…just like Erika…what a weird comparison…
"Bella it's not what you think…I…He…" She was so embarrassed she was stuttering furiously. The guy I the bed, who was also obviously naked, was staring at me, scrutinizing my face.
I was only faintly aware of everyone behind me. I was too shocked.
Suddenly I heard a car roll into the drive way. Charlie.
"Charlie!" I screamed and pushed past everyone and ran down the stairs to the garage where I could hear Charlie getting out of his car.
I was only faintly aware of the protest Renee had called after I ran.
I threw open the garage door, my eyes watering with tears.
"Bella?" He asked, surprised. I grabbed his arm and roughly pulled him with me to his invaded bedroom.
All of my friends were standing awkwardly to the side. I let go of Charlie.
"Don't move," I warned him sternly. He judged my expression and nodded.
I went to my friends.
"I'm sorry but I will talk to you all later, you should probably go home now," I said, wiping away a few stray tears.
Alice and Rosalie gave me a tight hug, whispering encouragements to me.
Emmett gave me a really big hug and kissed my forehead in a very brotherly fashion. Jasper hugged me and told me that everything was going to be ok.
Edward hugged me tightly and kissed my cheek.
"I'll talk to you later sweetheart," he whispered.
And they all walked out the door.
"Bella what's going on?" Charlie asked gruffly. I grabbed his arm again and brought him up the stairs.
"See for yourself," I spat as I pushed him through the door.
He gasped.
Renee and mystery man were in bathrobes, but they were making out on the bed still.
"Renee!" Charlie thundered hurt and angry. Again as I watched Charlie and Renee protest against each other, the blonde guy kept staring at me.
I gave him the most disgusted look I could muster up. He looked away then and joined in with the protests.
"Bella get out would you!" Charlie thundered, a purple vein bulging in his forehead.
I ran out of there, with more tears running down my cheeks.
I was at the bottom of the stairs when Erika came through the garage door.
"Hi bitc…whoa." She was about to curse at me but then she saw I was crying like crazy. He eyes flashed upstairs where you could hear the very loud arguing going on.
"What's going on?" She asked me.
"See for yourself..." I said blankly, not really thinking anymore, I sat down on the last step of the stairs and cried into my hands.
I heard Erika being yelled at to get out. I heard her come and sit down next to me, crying as well.
We both looked up at each other and for some strange, mangled, unknown reason; we put our arms around each other and comforted each other as we both cried.
It was nice, being comforted by someone who never even calls you by your real name. As strange as it was, it was true.
I was so over whelmed with emotion, I'd calmed down a little.
I held Erika as she cried on my shoulder.
This would obviously hurt her more; she was closer to Renee and Charlie than I ever was.
I heard Charlie stomping down the stairs, followed by Renee and her mystery man.
"Bella, Erika we need to talk," Renee said in an emotionless voice, not looking at us.
I held Erika as we walked into the dining room. Renee sat at the head, still in her bathrobe, her mystery man on her left, who was also still in a bathrobe, and Charlie on her right.
Erika and I sat next to each other next to Charlie.
"Ok…" Renee started "I have a lot of big news here…" She took a deep breath and held her mystery man's hand on top of the table.
"This is Phil" She gestured to the mystery man who I now know as Phil.
"Phil and I have been dating for 17 years…"She said quietly.
I think I could actually hear the sound of our jaws hitting the floor.
"Erika, sweetheart. I'm about to tell you something very very important and very big…" We all tensed ready for what she was about to say. I glanced at Charlie to see how he was taking it. His face was bright red, his brows furrowed in anger and his lips pursed.
"Erika, Charlie isn't your real father. Phil is." She gestured to him again.
We all gasped, minus Phil and Renee.
So, Erika wasn't my sister. And Renee knew that. So did 'Phil'.
Yet she still treats me like a bitch!
"THAT'S IT!" I screamed and stood up, knocking my chair to the floor, everyone jumped in surprise.
"You!" I pointed to Renee, fuming "You lying, cheating, evil LIFE RUINER!" I screamed, slamming my fists down on the table. Hard.
"YOU RECK MY LIFE BY TELLING ME I'M NOT PART OF THIS FAMILY, TELLING ME I'M WORTHLESS, TELLING ME I'M NOT LOVED, NOT WANTED! AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT SHE" I pointed to Erika "IS THE ONE THAT ISN'T EVEN PART OF THIS FREAKING FAMILY! UGH! I PUT UP WITH THIS FOR SO MANY FUCKING YEARS! HOW COULD YOU?! HOW FUCKING COULD YOU?!" I seethed, tears rolling relentlessly down my stained cheeks.
Renee just sat there, gob smacked.
"WELL ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER?! OR AM I JUST GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WANTING TO KNOW WHY MY OWN MOTHER, MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD DOESN'T EVEN LOVE ME?!" I yelled, wiping away the tears that just wouldn't stop. I was so hurt. It felt like my heart was being ripped apart.
Charlie stood up then too, I was suddenly worried for his health, his face was so purple it looked like he was choking.
"Renee," He said in a calm voice, but his tone was anything but friendly.
"You are no longer part of this family. I am calling for a divorce. You and Erika can no longer live here anymore. I don't care where you go but you are not welcome in this house at all. As a matter of fact I don't want you in this state…"He seethed.
Renee and Erika's mouth fell open; though Erika's already was open wide.
"B-but Charlie…we…I…you…"Renee stuttered but managed nothing coherent.
"Start packing your bags," Charlie spat at both of them. Then he stomped loudly out of the room.
Renee looked at me pleadingly.
"This house is for Swans only, and as of now you're not a Swan. So as Charlie just said. Go pack your bags," I said mockingly and ran out of the room as the tears kept coming.
I ran up the stairs to my room, and locked the door.
I sat on my bed and wiped away the remaining tears. I didn't just feel sad or hurt anymore.
It was a combination of depression, pain, anger, distress, sorrow and a strange surge of pure happiness.
It was such I weird combination of emotions, that my mind couldn't handle it all and it slowly released into numbness.
I was so out of it I didn't notice that my phone was ringing until the loudening volume of the ringtone was at full blast.
"Hello?" I answered in a dead voice.
"Bella…" Edward breathed in relief "Bella, honey how are you feeling?" He asked, very concerned.
"Numb," I answered in the same dull voice that was all I seemed to be able to speak in at the moment.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked, still concerned. The small part of my brain that was coherent seemed to be working in that moment and it reminded me that no one else knew what was going on.
"Can I come over? I need to speak to all of you," I asked him. My voice still dull but it held a distressed emotional tone.
"Of course you can. Esme and Carlisle won't be here though. They've gone out for an early dinner together. We're ordering pizza so you can eat with us if you want," He offered.
I smiled at that.
"Thank you that would be nice. I'll see you all in a minute. Bye…"
"Bye Bella." We hung up. I decided to get changed before I went over. I changed into my comfy black skinnys, and my black DC hoodie. I slipped on my black ugg boots and headed out the door.
On my way down the stairs, I heard Renee and Erika talking to Phil, though I couldn't really hear what they were saying. I gathered that they we trying to figure out where to live.
I was walking past the kitchen when Charlie stopped me.
"Bella? Where are you going?" His tone wasn't angry, just concerned.
"The Cullen's, I'm having dinner there. I'll be back before 10:30," I told him. He nodded and looked away. I guess he was just as numb as I was.
I walked down the porch steps, pulling my sleeves further over my fingers as the cooler night air started to pick up. The sun was just setting now. It was twilight. The thought made me smile. Our band name.
I reached their door and knocked, slightly timidly.
Edward opened the door almost immediately. The numbness was dying down really quickly and all the pain was starting to come back, but when I saw him the pain subsided. I threw myself at him, hugging him tightly.
"Hi there…" He said a little breathlessly, closing the door behind me.
I greedily gulped in all of his scent, burying my head in his chest. He rested his chin on the top of my head and stroked my hair soothingly.
"I'm sorry," He whispered and kissed my forehead. I sighed.
"Well I don't really know how it is but it's probably for the better," I whispered back.
"I hope so. I don't like it when you're sad." I pulled back enough that I could see his crooked smile.
I smiled and leaned up on my tippy toes to kiss him gently. He was so…Edward-y…it made my head swim.
Someone cleared their throat. Alice. Without breaking the kiss, Edward removed one of his arms from around me and did something, I easily guessed what it was by Alice's reaction.
"Oh! Edward Anthony Mason Cullen do not give me the finger! It's not my fault I care about Bella and want to talk to her!" She grumbled loudly. I giggled against Edward's lips and I felt his smile. We pulled apart still chuckling quietly.
"Oh Bella," Alice said and she ran over to give me a hug that could break steel.
"Alice…I…can't…breathe…" I gasped when she let me go.
"Sorry," She giggled sheepishly."How you feeling?" She asked.
"Kind of numb. I guess I need to talk to all of you, you're all probably wondering what's happening." I said loud enough so that Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper could hear from where they were sitting on the sofa.
They all nodded.
Edward pulled me over to the love seat where we sat together so we were facing everyone else on the other couches.
It was silent for a few moments before I started talking.
"Well…as you saw before Renee was cheating on Charlie with a man named Phil," I said slowly, keeping my emotions calm. Edward squeezed my hand he was still holding and I squeezed his back smiling sadly at his attempt to comfort me, it was working.
"It turns out that Renee and Phil have been dating for…" I took a deep breath, "17 years," I whispered. They all gasped.
I took another deep breath, preparing for the last part.
"Do any of you remember what Phil looked like?" I asked quietly. They were slightly puzzled by the question.
"Blonde hair, blue eyes, tan skin…?" Alice said puzzled the rest nodded in agreement with her.
"And what does Erika look like?" I asked rhetorically.
They were confused for one full second then they all gasped.
"No way! How can…but…" Alice trailed off.
"That BITCH!" Rosalie yelled outraged.
"But…but…why did she treat you so badly then?" Jasper asked dumbfounded.
I shrugged. "She had nothing to say when I asked her," I muttered quietly.
There were a few moments of quiet as they took all of this in.
"What happens now?" Edward asked quietly. He had a worried look on his face, everyone else listened in eagerly.
"Well, Charlie cracked it and he's kicking Renee and Erika out. The last I heard of their conversation was that they're moving in with Phil somewhere…" I trailed off still unsure of what was to happen.
Edward's expression was relieved.
"The paparazzi are going to be all over this tomorrow. Charlie is probably calling the tabloids now…" I shook my head in disbelief, it was still hard to grasp the fact that that this was actually happening.
My eyes watered and a few tears spilled over.
"Hey now don't cry baby…" Edward wiped away my tears. Baby. It wasn't the word it was the way he said it.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him close.
"GROUP HUG!" Emmett yelled at the top of his lungs.
Everyone ran over squealing as they piled all over us almost suffocating Edward and me.
After a few long minutes of trying to breathe we were all lying on the floor laughing hysterically at each other when the door bell rang.
We all looked around a little disorientated.
"Oh that's the pizza! Oh bella, you've never had pizza with us before have you?" Alice said getting extremely excited suddenly.
"No I guess I haven't…" I said slightly confused.
"Then watch this!"Emmett said mischievously, wiggling his eyebrows.
Emmett ran to the door opening it, and standing in a position that basically said 'you give me money and I'll give you pleasure'.
I cracked up when I saw that the pizza boy was Eric Yorkie.
"Shh Bella just watch," Jasper said pointing to the door. I could see Eric standing there very nervously looking at Emmett.
"That will be $15 thanks," Eric said, his voice breaking twice nervously.
Emmett handed him the money with a devilish grin.
"You know…if you give me that money back…I can give you a lot more…" Emmett leaned in as if to kiss him.
Eric squealed, literally squealed then ran off after almost throwing the pizza's at Emmett.
"What?! I thought we had something special!" Emmett yelled after him.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!" Eric screamed back, and then we heard the sound of the delivery bike being driven away.
I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard. Neither could anyone else.
Emmett was laughing his booming laugh as he set the pizzas on the table.
We all chattered and joked as we ate the pizza, especially when Rosalie tried to con Emmett into eating something green and leafy.
It was so nice to be with the people I love after the horrible afternoon I'd had. Even the idea of school tomorrow didn't seem that bad.
Well??? tell me what you think please.
Ooooh! I forgot to say before, there is someone and i have no idea who it is, but there is a girl by the penname of BELLATERROR im pretty sure thats how you spell it but we both have stories where Bella is emo and has a rich family and all that but someone is telling her that she's stolen my ideas and stuff like that when actually our stories are totally different! We both read each others stories and they are nothing alike, besides i got my ideas for this story from an old sitcom my parents watch.
ok now thats enough jibber jabber from me.
Please Review!
