Chapter 51
When I asked if they knew who it was from or what it was about, they said that they didn't know not even Alice knew. I wanted to ask but I wasn't sure how to ask him or when I should, I had already put him on a ban, I didn't want to upset him further and I wasn't sure of his reaction. Maybe if I asked at school where there would be witnesses then maybe it wouldn't be too bad. Alice said thanks to her and rose clearing out everyone's closets there was plenty of room for new clothes. Half of Edwards's closet would now contain my clothes compared to the few outfits I did have there. She had also cleared a couple of drawers for my stuff.
Anyone would think we were living together. Well we were kind of, I practically spent most of my time at the Cullen's and they did feel like family. When Alice and rose had filled the car with bags upon bags we set off home. She had brought things for everyone. Edward still looked like he had something on his mind, I was about to kiss him and distract him before I remembered the ban. Esme had decided to re-arrange and make some changes to the house and set the boys to work including Carlisle, while Alice and rose put everyone's clothes away and esme supervised the boys. I watched as they worked, it hardly took any time at all with the speed and strength they were able to use. When they were done and esme was satisfied they all decided they needed a break and went to hunt.
It was now early evening and I was starting to get hungry, so of course esme cooked for me. The boys still were not back from hunting and Alice and rose were busy doing various things. As I cleared away my dishes I heard voices coming from the living room. "Emmett, you cannot keep it" obviously Carlisle was trying to reason with Emmett about something
"Yes I can its mine" he argued back
"Emmett, rose will not let you keep it and it doesn't belong here" jasper said trying to make him see sense now. I was curious as to what they were all on about and I was not the only one as we all descended on the living room. In the middle stood Emmett cradling something, in front of him with his hand open in front of him was Carlisle, either side of him were jasper and Edward.
I spoke first "what are you guys talking about and what Emmett is holding?" before I could continue, I little brown furry head pop up from under Emmett's arms. I heard the gasps behind me and one growl, obviously from rose. "Why on earth do you have a monkey?" I asked "because I found it in the Forrest, and I'm keeping it. It's my pet"
"EMMETT!" rose shouted jasper had to come and place his hand on her shoulder to calm her down. "Em, it's very cute and all but it's going to have to go to a zoo, we can't keep it and if you try, I can see rose extending your ban to a more permanent one." Alice said and Emmett instantly nodded and surrendered. Carlisle promised he would go with him to take it to the zoo and that he could visit it whenever he wanted and with that they left to take the monkey to the zoo. Emmett was still sulking about not being able to keep it as they left.
I yawned and it didn't go UN noticed and was ushered off to bed. I was sleeping in Edwards's bed but he was not allowed in and I had rose guarding the door to prevent him coming and curling up to me. I considered reducing the ban but not before I tortured him a little first. I soon fell asleep and was woken the next morning by rose. Once we all dressed and ready to go we left for school, I went in Edwards car but sat in the back with jasper while rose, Alice and Emmett took his new jeep, he sold the last one as he couldn't bear to be seen driving around in it. I needed to find out today what was bothering him and who and what the letter was about.
I walked with Edward to class the others had already left for their classes. "Edward, I was told you received a letter and that it was bothering you. Who was it from and why did it bother you?" I needed to know he took a deep breath before saying anything
"Well I do not know who sent it me, it was un signed but I have a few ideas. It was short it simply said
how well do you know her? Has she increased in size anyway? Been ill looking perhaps? There are things that you don't know, or would even want to know. It was more of a note than a letter." He finished without looking at me, I didn't know what to say, what did they mean he didn't know me and had I changed.
Edward brought me out of my thoughts; he obviously understood what it was trying to say "Bella I need you to tell me the truth, have you slept with anyone else before me or while you were with me?" I could believe he just asked that, he thought I had been with someone else, there had been no one else only him. He was my first and would be my last. And what else was he trying to ask, was I possibly pregnant with someone else's child. I felt the tears run down my cheeks. He try to wipe them away but I slapped his hand away "don't touch me" I snapped I ran off to the nearest girls bathroom. I couldn't believe my true love had asked if I had been with someone else and was I having their child.
