Bella's POV
Everyone was strangely quiet in the kitchen while I ate the delicious meal they prepared for me. I never did understand how for someone who couldn't eat Esme was the best cook ever. Finally Esme spoke up on the subject that I knew everyone was trying to avoid.
"Are you ok, Bella?"
I nodded my head so that I could finish chewing my bite and explain to them that everything was perfectly fine and there was no reason to worry.
"Yes, thank you! I mean I thought I was going to die with the burning I felt in my body but everything is ok now so really everyone can stop worrying. I probably won't forget that memory like ever but I am one hundred percent sure I am ok now!" I realized that I sounded more like I was trying to convince myself then anything. I was sure they noticed the doubt written clearly all over my face. I was a terrible liar.
"Bella won't you talk to us about it we've all been through the same thing?" Rosalie said sounding generally worried.
"Yes, and Edward wouldn't tell us how this happened and I didn't have a vision about how it happened or anything so could you puh-lease explain to us what the hell happened tonight?" Alice voiced losing all hints of the happiness that was usually laced in her voice.
"Well Edward took me outside and we were just talking and stuff when he kissed me. We were both getting into it.' I blushed ten shades of red while saying this. 'He deepened the kiss and I of course went along with it because I ya know like him and then all I remember is his teeth running across my bottom lip and they cut it on accident, I think. My mouth welled with blood and of course our mouths were together so he got a taste of it and he sucked on my bottom lip what felt like forever but I think in reality was only like three seconds. Once I started screaming from the searing pain he quickly backed away I noticed his eyes had gone black, but he picked me up and started running to the house and that's when we got here and I don't remembering anything else except for wanting to die because it hurt so bad!" I finished my little speech out of breath from racing through the words so fast.
"Oh dear!" Esme replied while clutching her chest.
"You know not to be negative or anything he's never going to want to kiss you again." Rosalie what looked like smirked.
I loved Rosalie, but sometimes she just was the first one to point out things like that that just made you feel like crap.
"Rosalie!?" Alice smacked her upside the head.
Rose turned on Alice with a glare that would kill any normal person. The phrase "if looks could kill" ran through my mind. Esme quickly jumped in the middle to stop the two. The three began talking too low for my human ears which aggravated me to the end. As if they could feel my aggravation they all turned around with sheepish expressions on their faces.
"Tonight was the best night of my life so I don't want everyone to forget that because of that one small accident. Ok are we all on the same page?" I snapped. I don't know what has been coming over me lately but everything has been pissing me off.
They all nodded with shocked expressions on their faces I hastily made my way out of the kitchen up the stairs to my bedroom and into my bathroom. I needed a good long hot shower so I went to the bathroom when I screamed at what I saw.
I knew they would come running up the stairs so I waited very impatiently for half a second.
"This is why you just had to have the boys go hunting after prom? You know you could have told me Alice?" Rosalie sneered then looked up at me apologetically.
"You wouldn't be able to keep it away from Edward so I just kept it to myself." Alice shot back in a calmer voice then I had expected.
"Carlisle had told me that because of her low weight she hadn't gotten to this point in her life yet and that once we built up her protein and fat levels she should be on track so I just didn't say anything afraid that I would scare her. But anyways Alice did you get the things she would need?" Esme said and I had no clue what they were all talking about. Couldn't they clue me in?
"Yes, as soon as I had this vision I went out and got everything." Alice replied.
"Umm could someone please clue me in on what the hell is going on here?" I said feeling extremely agitated and left out.
"Oh! Sorry! Bella I guess your father didn't tell you about this but its just your period honey." Alice said.
WTF?!
"Here we'll let you get ready and then I'll explain everything to you." I'm guessing she noticed the confused expression on my face and gave me an explanation.
They spent the rest of the night explaining the mechanics of everything to me. Turns out my attitude and cravings and everything was just side effects of PMS.
After a while I retired to bed where I slept most of the next day.
The next few days were very uneventful we basically just played Bella Barbie (my least favorite game in the world), went shopping, and watched a lot of movies. When it was time for them to leave and leave me alone for one day they told me they would come back if I needed anything and that they would call the boys and tell them everything so that I wouldn't have too. Rosalie also promised that she would make sure that Emmett wasn't going to pick on me because of it.
We all bid our goodbyes and I settled into the couch to watch "Fighting" with Channing Tatum. (A/n. Love that movie and love Channing Tatum. Ha!)
Edward's POV
We were a little over half way through with our hunting trip and we were going to hunt today then run back home tonight. I had just finished my third mountain lion and was laughing at Emmett debating on whether or not to let his grizzly bear go for the third time just so he could chase it down again. He decided to just drain the poor animal, so I checked around to see where Carlisle and Jasper were. Jasper was finishing off an Elk that didn't fully satisfy him, and Carlisle was running to where I was standing because he knew we should be getting a phone call from the girls within a few minutes.
I've been going crazy for the past few days without Bella I have been really getting on Emmett and Jaspers nerves, but I couldn't help it. Emmett finally finished his Grizzly and too made his way over to where we were standing. Jasper just snatched up just a regular bear and was halfway through with it when the phone started ringing. I picked it up and quickly said "Hello" to Alice.
She commanded that I put the phone on speakerphone knowing full well that we would all be able to here her and that everyone be present for what she was about to say. Jasper having heard what Alice said left his animal half drained and ran to where we were all standing in a circle around the phone. I quickly told Alice that we were all here and that she could say what was so important now. It probably had something to do with how she found the perfect cashmere for us to wear, but I listened anyways. What she said though left us all speechless and it wasn't until Rosalie began yelling at Emmett that myself and Jasper both snapped back into reality. She was saying something about how if Emmett said anything to Bella that they wouldn't be doing anything together for a month. Emmett listened to that one and quickly said that he would behave himself. This was a complete shock but the girls said that none of us were to say one word to her about it and to act as if everything was normal because she was very insecure.
This almost immediately put everything into perspective for me that I was no good for Bella and that I would never be able to give her things that any other human would be able to. I knew I had no business being with Bella, but I also knew that I could never leave her.
Bella's POV
I was getting up to get something to drink when I heard someone knocking on the door then I heard the door open and a few set of feet walking in. I figured it was the boys so I made my way out of the kitchen but was stunned into silence at what I saw before me.
The boy Jacob that I had met at the mall a few weeks ago was here along with three other males. They all were of the same Indian decent and they all had black hair and were built beyond the normal while each holding their own in six foot heights.
I had a bad feeling about this!
"Hello, I'm Jacob remember?" The boy Jacob said. I quietly nodded my head.
"We don't mean to startle you we actually came here to help you." He said in the same cautious tone as before.
"I don't need any help thank you very much!" I said with an increasing confidence.
"We weren't sure if you were aware of the fact that your living with a house full of vampires and we are completely sure that it was you screaming a few night ago." Jacob replied through gritted teeth.
"I am well aware of that fact and I know exactly what I am doing and whether or not I was screaming a few nights ago has absolutely no relevance to you, Jacob or your little friends. You seem like a decent person so I just ask that you please leave me alone!" I felt like I might be stepping on some toes but I couldn't help it I was livid and these boys didn't know anything about me and they had no right to be checking up on me or whatever they thought they were doing.
He walked over to me very swiftly, picked me up, then hoisted me on his back. Now I was scared!
"Enough!" Rang a voice of finality!
"Jacob put the girl down NOW! We came here to make sure she was aware of what was going on here and we have done just that. Treaty says we are not to be on Cullen land and we are doing just that. We came here for your sake and now that we've done that we must leave!" One of the older looking boys said in a tone that I'm guessing no one dare question.
Jacob put me down immediately then fled. One boy followed instantly after him. I could hear things tearing outside but I didn't move to go see. The boy who looked to be in charge waved the remaining boys off and they too followed suit. He said goodbye too then left directly after.
I was bewildered what had just happened.
I quickly made my way over to call Alice. My knees gave out as I heard the dial tone, I was trying to remember her number! Why couldn't I remember her number? They had drilled this kind of information into my head for as long as I've lived here. The room was spinning and everything was becoming unfocused. I was feeling clammy when everything went black.
Alice POV
We were just getting to a good hunting spot in Montana, I had been worrying for a little while now since I couldn't see Bella when a startling vision took over all of my senses.
Vision
Bella was passed out on the floor with the phone in her hand. The front door was open and Bella was shaking softly because of it. The room smelled like wet dog and on the porch were shreds of clothing.
End Vision
This was no good I knew we shouldn't have left her there by herself I mean the girl had to be the most accident prone person I had ever seen in my life!
It quickly occurred to me that I needed to help her so I immediately grabbed my phone, called Edward, and told them to get home and help Bella NOW!
What were we going to do? Carlisle said we should just stay on our trip and that they would let us know as they found more out.
