"Hello?" I answer my phone in vain hope that it is Bella.
"Hi Edward!" Alice's voice rings in my ear. I cringe but quickly respond.
"Is something wrong with Bella?"
There is a slight pause before Alice starts to speak. "Um, no. Why do you always assume that?"
"Because you told me no phone calls this weekend unless it's an emergency." I remind her and she makes a silent 'oh'.
"Well nothing's wrong. I have to hurry up before she finds out I'm using her phone. You and the boys need to watch Good Morning America this morning!" I scrunch up my nose. I hate morning talk shows.
"Why?"
"It's a surprise." She chuckles and I hear Bella's voice in the background. "Oh I gotta go! Remember, watch Good Morning America! Love you, bye."
Alice quickly hangs up the phone before I can even say anything. Okay, that was odd. But I'll relay the message to the rest of the guys. Maybe it'll be interesting. I walk in to the livingroom where Emmett and Jasper are playing some war video game. They look up at me and smile before continuing with their game. I sit down beside Jasper chuckle as Jasper kills one of Emmett's men.
"Damn it! Jasper how can you beat me at this game?"
"Emmett, must I remind you that I was in this war?" Emmett rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. So what did Bella want Edward?" Emmett looks at me with smug smile on his face. I shrug my shoulders.
"It wasn't Bella, it was Alice. She wants us to watch Good Morning America this morning." Jasper raises his eyebrows.
"Why didn't she just call me?" I shrug my shoulders again.
"I don't know. You know her better than I do. But we have to watch it or Alice will know we didn't." Emmett sighs and shuts of the game console.
"Hey! We didn't get to save the game! I was winning!" Jasper throws the controller across the room. Emmett smirks.
"That was the point bro." I shake my head at my two brothers. They start to get in to a heated argument and I can feel myself get frustrated. It must be come from Jasper.
"Hey! Guys, cut that out. Jasper you're sending out angry waves. STOP IT." Jasper calms down and he gives me a shy smile.
Sorry. He sits back down on the couch next to me and Emmett changes the channel to the station we should be on. We watch as the New Hampshire television station signs off and Good Morning America comes on. We watch it in fake amusement while they go through the top stories. Then they go to the weather man outside. We see all the people screaming as they're waving their signs and we all laugh.
"These are sad bunches of humans." Jasper shakes his head as the local news station tells us about our weather. When it goes back the first weatherman he's standing with a group of girls.
Wait. These are our group of girls. Rosalie, Bella, and Alice are standing side by side holding signs with our names on it.
"Oh my God." Emmett chuckles as we read what it says. 'Emmett, Edward, and Jasper. Don't do anything stupid... Like break the furniture!'
The weatherman introduces them and asks them a quick question about the signs.
"We left our lovely husbands at our home and we don't want the furniture to get ruined again." Alice giggles.
"Be good for our mom!" Bella says with a smirk on her face and Rosalie laughs.
"Yeah Emmett, don't do anything stupid." Emmett winces as Rosalie looks directly at the camera.
"Well boys, I think you should listen to your wives. Have a lovely morning ladies, I hope you all enjoy the show." The weatherman fake smiles.
"Thanks!" The girls all spoke at the same time. Bella looks like she is having a fun time. I'm glad.
They switch back to the two hosts of the show and we shut it off. "Well, that was hilarious. Did they honestly think we'd break the furniture?" Jasper chuckles.
"Well, you did break my controller." Emmett laughs and points to the controller that's smashed to pieces on the floor. Jasper ducks his head.
"I'm sorry, I'll get you a new one."
"Don't sweat it. I have plenty more where that came from." Emmett laughs again. I stand up and walk out of the room to call Bella. I love seeing her, hearing her voice. It's been the longest two days of my life- existence.
"Hello?"
"Hi love." I hear her sigh in relief. I chuckle in my head.
"Edward! It's so great to hear your voice." It's great to hear her voice.
"I saw you on tv." I smile.
"You did? We looked like dorks didn't we?"
"No, I thought you looked lovely, and my sisters looked like the dorks." I hear Bella laugh and it makes my heart melt. She's even more lovely as a vampire.
"So are you going to listen to us? No breaking the furniture?"
"Love, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. Just be safe, for me." I can't imagine what kind of trouble Bella can get herself in to. I hope she's going to be okay. I know she's immune to human blood, but still.
"Edward, I'm indestructible now. I think I'll be okay." I can almost see her roll her eyes and it makes me smile. Then I hear a change of atmosphere.
"Edward, remember our agreement? No calls while we're having the girls night out." Alice chuckles.
"But you called me first!" I argue. Why is she taking me away from my wife?
"That was so you guys would watch us!"
"Alice! Give the phone back to Bella! I want to talk to her!"
"Sorry, Eddie, but we need to get going on the shopping. She'll see you when we get home tomorrow." I growl.
"Alice-" I hear Bella's voice in the background. And I growl louder. I can't believe Alice is being so childish.
"Alice, give the phone back to Bella. Please? I just want to talk to her for another minute..."
"It's for the best, brother. You have fun with Jasper and Emmett. Tell Jazzy I say hi." Alice quickly says before hanging up on me. I'm half tempted to call Bella back. But I know, I made an agreement with Alice... no phone calls.
Blast that stupid sneaky sister of mine. I shove the phone back in to my pocket and trudge back in to the livingroom. Where my brothers picked up another game to play... wrestling.
"Hey guys, don't break the furniture." I remind them and they laugh.
"We won't. That's why we moved all the furniture against the wall." Emmett smirks and puts Jasper in to headlock.
"Don't you guys think it would be smarter, to play outside? Esme's going to flip when she sees what you two are doing." They shake their heads. This sight is hilarious. Emmett has Jasper pinned on the ground, but they look like little boys when I address them. I laugh as I walk away from this soon to be disaster and head outside. Maybe I should go for a run to keep my mind away from the one person that holds my heart.
But as soon as I take a step outside I hear a loud crash. "DAMN IT!" Emmett's booming voice is the next thing I hear. I run back in to the house to find the coffee table split in half and a hole in the wall the shape of Emmett.
"Oh, you're in big trouble mister." I say mimicking that little girl on Full House. Jasper, Emmett and I break out in to big laughs. They tried to warn us... but we ended up doing it anyway.
Well I didn't. I listened. I shake my head, but either way, my brothers are going to tie me in to this mess. I guess it's the price you pay when you have brothers. We have to back each other up. It's one of those unwritten rules. At least, that's what Emmett says.
But who listens to Emmett, anyway?
The door opens and Esme's light footsteps comes walking towards the living room. "Boys, I heard a loud crash as I was coming in the driveway. Please tell me that it was the TV?"
She walks in to the room and drops her bag of books. Her hands fall on her hips.
"I'm afraid it wasn't the television, mom." I say sweetly. Jasper tries to calm her down but she refuses it.
"Can't you boys appreciate the work I put in to this house? It's an antique for crying out loud! Seriously, why do you have to break something every time we get a new home?"
"But-" Emmett starts.
"No buts. I want you, you, and you," Esme points to all three of us and then towards the ceiling, " in your room this instant. You're all on lock-down until the girls come home." We all groan as we reluctantly trudge up the stairs to our rooms.
I turn on my stereo and lay down on our bed. I close my eyes, and almost wish that I can fall asleep. So I can dream of my Bella.
