I'm so sorry. this chapter is shorter but i'm going to get the other half up asap!
Disclaimer. i do not own twilight.
My mind wouldn't let go all the possibilities this emergency could be. And as Jasper and Emmett lounged around on my couch eating sandwiches with their feet on the coffee table, it didn't look like they were going to tell me anytime soon. I was becoming more frustrated at the moment.
"Can you please turn the channel this show is stupid." I blurted out letting my annoyance get the best of me. Both Emmett and Jasper looked at me half surprised by my tone, I immediately felt bad.
"Can you please tell me what's going on?" I whined, like a complete baby. Emmett chuckled and I was this close to slapping him, that's how annoyed I was.
"Edward said to not have you stressing over anything." Jasper sighed.
"I don't care, I need to know. I'm already stressing."
"Bella."
"Jasper." I warned.
"Stubborn." Emmett chuckled.
"Please tell me Jasper." I begged, I was desperate to know what was happening and they couldn't just keep things like this away from me. When Edward got back from wherever he was I will be furious with him, why would he tell them to keep it from me, why should anyone have to keep secrets because of Edward's over protectiveness. Not fair, not fair at all. Edward wouldn't- I stopped my internal ramble when I noticed the room dim just a little, even though the lights stayed bright and the TV flashed in front of us. I could hear my breathing that's how quite it was. I could almost feel the sadness in the air.
"What?" I looked over to both of them, my voice suddenly quiet and sad. I was scared. Both of their faces looked stressed, holding some sadness I couldn't figure out, but it scared me and I did just like they had asked me not to and the panic was building.
"That bad?" I whispered. Emmett nodded slowly, and I heard my low gasp.
"Its Elizabeth." Jasper whispered. I didn't understand why he was whispering or even why I was, but it felt as if he spoke normally I wouldn't be able to handle the news. Then I heard Elizabeth's name and felt my heart break that instant. I had always wondered if she hated me for tying down her son from his successful life, I had always wondered if there would be a time when Elizabeth and I could talk just together because truly she was a sweet person and you could see that. And honestly watching Elizabeth hurt was like watching people slaughter dolphins.
"What happened?" My voice was louder, but still calm to keep Jasper going.
"Heart attack." Emmett answered for him, his eyes never meeting mine.
"Oh god. Is she okay?"
"It was a really bad heart attack." Emmett sighed deeply. I had never seen him so sad and stressed in my life. His words made a chill go through out my body , and my soft breathing come a little quicker. Had she died? Is she going to die?
"We have to go." I demanded, somehow putting all my emotions in those three words, hoping Jasper and Emmett heard them. I didn't feel like begging.
"Bella I don't –"
"Jasper she needs to go." Surprisingly there was no hint of joking in Emmett's voice, probably the first time I have ever heard his voice so hard and stressed. Obviously Jasper heard that too.
"Okay." He answered simply.
When we got to the hospital, I couldn't stop myself from crying. Just seeing the building made me want to sob. We shouldn't be here everyone should be fine. The hospital was crowded, and it made the whole experience worse but Emmett's booming voice helped out a handful.
"I'm sorry what?" The secretary must have asked about a billion times.
"Elizabeth Masen." Emmett would respond he's voice just as annoyed as I felt. Jasper put his arm around me to calm me and it worked somewhat but I still couldn't stop crying. I just couldn't. After a few minutes Emmett got the secretary to tell us where Elizabeth was and we were on our way down the pale hallway to Elizabeth's room. I was feeling dizzy as we got closer, Jasper had to tighten his grip around me to support me.
"It's going to be okay." Jasper tried to reassure me, but nothing was helping. Because we didn't know if everything is going to be okay. We didn't know anything if I had heard correctly. That's when we turned into Elizabeth's room and sure enough Elizabeth was there on the hospital bed, eyes closed, face pale. I covered my mouth to keep my sob quiet but it caught the attention of everyone in the room, and Jasper squeezed me. That's when I saw who was all standing in this room.
Alice, her eyes wet with tears as Katherine held her tight, both of them looking at me with sad eyes. The image was hard to take in. It was hard to not gasp at the fresh image of my mother, who was standing behind Katherine, her eyes just as sad as theirs, but when I looked into her dark eyes something sparked within them, and it was like I hadn't seen her in years. I didn't want to see her, I didn't need to because everything she said made me more angry with her. My mom looked at me apologetic, but I wasn't feeling too forgiving. I ripped my gaze from hers to search the room again, and on the left of the bed was Mr. Masen, his eyes dead, no emotion on his face. This wasn't the Mr. Masen I had seen before, each emotion clear on his face, always so animated. Then my eyes found the Edward on the other side of Elizabeth, holding her hand. I thought seeing Elizabeth in pain was bad, well this was absolutely horrible. It made chills go down m spine, it made my eyes sting with more tears, it made me cling closer to Jasper. Edward's eyes like his father's were dead, absolutely dead. No light, no spark, no nothing. His eyes could be brown, that's how dark they were. Edward's dark eyes were puffy and red, he had clearly been crying. It looked as if he hadn't had sleep in days, but I'm sure this must have happened just this morning. Edward looked years older, not the shining seventeen basketball player but a middle aged man watching his mother die. He was still beautiful, as sick as it was to even think about something like that at the moment, it was true.
"Bella." His voice broke, and I detached myself from Jasper and ran to his side, letting him wrap his arms around me.
"I'm so sorry Edward." I cried softly into his chest trying not to look at Elizabeth, the image was haunting. He didn't say anything more, he didn't even sigh. He just stayed silent and pulled me closer to his body. I was comforting him this time around, and I didn't care who watched or who heard.
"I love you." I kissed his cheek. "Everything's going to be alright." I could almost see my mom glaring at me from across the room, when she heard my words.

"Love." I heared my mother snort quietly beside Katherine and Alice. My eyes shot to my short haired mother.
"Love." Alice stated glaring over at her, I knew she was on my side. She knew what Edward and I felt was right. It was honest and true. It's love.
"Just because he got you prgenant he loves you?" My mom blurted looking at me incredulously. Edward stiffened, and I let out a low inaudible gasp at her rude behavior. This obviously wasn't the time for this, this wasn't the time at all.
"No. That's not it at all." Edward managed to sound polite but incredibly hard. I was shocked by his answer and his strained voice, obviously this wasn't it.
"You don't know what you're talking about." Mr. Masen mumbled from the other side of Elizabeth, and then all eyes were on him.
"Yes he does." I shocked myself by replying so calmly.
"You're only teenagers." Mr. Masen ran a hand thorugh his hair, shaking his head at us.
"Excuse me. But we're not hear to go over our disagreements. We're hear for Elizabeth." Alice barked at Renee, even though she was speaking to all of us. Katheirne nudged Alice a little for her rudeness, and Jasper seemed to keep his eyes on Alice the whole time. While Emmett eyes Mr. Masen and my mother glared at me. I looked up at Edward while we held each other, and I finally saw one emotion in his eyes, one thing I could read for sure. Trouble.
There was going to be trouble with all of us in the same room.
Deep, deep trouble.
