53.
And if the way you found your dad… what happened to him, and then to you… is anyone's fault...
Bella… it's all mine
all his?
that's what he thinks?
that it's his fault?
what happened to my dad...
and what happened to me…
Jake blames himself?
and thinks that i...
would ever
or could ever
blame him?
"Jacob… none of this is your fault. And I don't EVER want to hear that again, okay?"
"But Bella–"
"No!"
"But I–"
"Do you want me to turn you over my knee?"
"I do!"
"Shut up, Betty, or I'll turn you over it."
"Well, that could be fun, too..."
Emmett wiggles his eyebrows at me
and i roll my eyes at him
and then over to Rose "Would you like to do the honors?"
and "Yep" she says
and cracks him upside the head
really hard
like the way it makes everyone laugh
before i make them stop
them that are the Cullens "I want to know why one of your friends would kill my father."
"But Bella, Jake didn't answer your other question yet."
is he serious?
yeah…
he is…
and it's seriously funny when Esme is the one to crack him upside the head this time because he is
and seriously understandable why Rose is always so cranky "I totally am starting to get why you're such a bitch, Rose. The man's exhausting."
but not exhausted… "That's what she said!"
so i'll put him to work "Emmett! See that?"
i point to where the front door used to be "That big gaping hole that matches the one between your ears?"
and he looks confused so i don't wait for his answer "Clean up the pile of rubble before I turn you into one, and build me a new door. And it's a manly job, so take off your Betty dress first."
"If you want to see me naked, Bella, all you have to do is ask. I'm not Pebbles the Princess of Virtue, I won't say no."
"If you want to keep your pebbles, Emmett, you'll shut up."
i think i'm starting to like Rosalie
maybe someday we could even be friends…
but today i want to know about the ones she already had
she and the rest of them "Is someone going to tell me why your albino bitch friend killed my father? Or should I just ask her myself?"
the test i gave them was multiple choice
but Jake's answer to it tells me i have to give them another "She's dead, Bella. You can't ask her anything. We at least did one thing right."
"Thank you..."
for getting revenge for me
while you got it for yourselves
because she killed your friend too
"The plan was to kill you." Alice says
turning my attention to her
"I think everything else that happened was just an unfortunate result of oil and water don't mix."
"Did you just call my father's brutal murder an unfortunate result, Alice?"
"Not intentionally." she says and takes a step back "Just like what Edward did wasn't–"
what Edward did?
"What Edward did wasn't what? What did Edward do?"
i don't really want the answer from her
and Edward knows it
and gives it to me himself "When I left you… I went to the Denalis'. I'd told you to go home to Charlie… but I didn't know if you would. You never really listened to me…
"And I was worried about you being here alone. I asked Kate to keep an eye on you."
of course he did...
but what does that have to do with– "And so her sister decided that she'd do the honors? By relieving her of her duty instead?"
"No…"
"Then what?"
"I think she decided to–or was more likely asked to–do the honors for her other sister."
her other sister? "Tanya?"
"Yes."
"And what honors were those?"
"Women can be really spiteful creatures, Bella…"
"SHUT UP, Alice, I asked EDWARD a question."
"Tanya threw herself at me when I was there…."
skank!
"And I was perhaps less than polite in my No, thank you…"
that's my virtue boy!
"And she was less than discouraged…"
SHAMELESS skank!
"And then I humiliated her…"
i'm going to kiss you for that!
"And she was mad..."
good!
"And told me I'd regret it."
she wishes! the– oh
"And, Bella..."
don't say it...
"I think this is what she meant."
