Chapter 49...
Bella's point of view.
When Alice, Rosalie and I were safely upstairs Alice closed her room door and locked it. They then led me to the bed and we sat down. I sighed in relief that they weren't going to force me into a makeover.
"Okay so What's going on guys?" I asked them seriously.
Alice bit her lip and then smiled.
"Spill!" I told her.
"Well We know where the guys went." Rosalie said.
"Well?" I asked after a while.
"Okay well I'm not sure If Edward has ever shown you this but it's our family crest. I have a choker type one, Edward has a wrist band thing, Carlisle has a ring and Esme has a bracelet. Carlisle had this wonderful idea that we should give her a symbolization that she is now part of the Family so Carlisle went to the man who made all of us ours and he's getting Elizabeth one today. Isn't it brilliant?" Alice said. I smiled and nodded my approval.
"It's just perfect. Can I see yours Alice?" I asked. She nodded and handed me the crest. It was small and delicate and it was perfect. I looked at the designing on the crest and I saw it had a lion, A hand above the lion and shamrocks underneath it all.
"It's lovely but what does it mean?" I asked Alice.
"Well the hand signifies faith, sincerity, and justice. The Lion signifies fierce courage, and the shamrocks show perpetuity and longevity. " Alice said.
Suddenly she came up to me and she placed the choker on me and she smiled.
"Lovely." She said. Something about the way she was acting made me suspicious, but I dropped it. Maybe I was being paranoid.
"So is this all we needed to Talk about?" I asked.
Alice and Rosalie looked to Each other with wicked grins.
"Makeover!" They yelled in unison.
I groaned but I let them drag me away. They pulled me in Alice's bathroom and then locked the door. They cleaned my face with this prickly stuff. Then Alice applied my makeup while Rose worked on my 'due' as Rose liked to call it. I tried on multiple occasions to get them to stop since my hair was already done but I couldn't fight the power of thee two girls together.
They were miracle workers because when they were done I looked nice. Then when I got dressed in an outfit Alice made me wear I looked perfect.
"I'd hit it! Three times. In the back." Rosalie told me in a joking tone that made me and Alice burst out laughing. When we got enough composure to stop laughing I thanked Alice and Rosalie. I then left while they went on to giving each other makeovers for who knows what. I was about to go downstairs when I saw Esme coming upstairs with a weird look on her face.
"Esme are you okay?" I asked.
"Yes I am fine dear I just need to get something done." She told me with a smile. I had a feeling she was lying to me but I let it go. I then began descending downstairs when I heard soft sobs coming from the living room. I looked in and I saw Elizabeth in the room sobbing. I quietly went near her and sat down.
"Elizabeth?" I asked.
No answer.
"Would you want to talk about it?" I offered in a low hesitant tone.
She looked at me and she laughed.
"Talk about it? Sure but It's nothing you would be able to relate to. No one can. Everyone always asks 'What's wrong' but in reality they don't really care. Loved ones sure but friends and random strangers don't, they only ask so you could be a subject of gossip. So Talk about sure I will tell you but I know you wouldn't be able to relate because most haven't gone through what Edward and I have."She told me. I was in flames when she said I couldn't understand. As if I was some small child. I could have said so many rude things to her but I couldn't find myself saying such harsh words to anyone especially Elizabeth. I was the only one who did understand Edward's pain. This woman didn't know a thing about me and here she was making assumptions. That was one of my pet peeves. When people make assumptions. Obviously she hadn't heard the saying 'When you assume you make an ass out of you and me'. I looked at her and I felt my mouth fill with the acid of the words I was about to spit at her. I bit my tongue though and I kept it in and decided to change my way of words.
"You don't know anything about me. I am or was the only one who understood Edward when you weren't around." I spat at her. It was all true. I was the one person who understood Edward to an extent when she wasn't here.
"What would make you so relative to what's happen with me and Edward?" She asked. I scoffed.
"You really want to know?" I asked. She nodded.
"Okay fine. I am a twin and Emmett's is my brother. When we were babies my mom divorced my dad and she left Emmett with my dad. A few years later she remarried and my step dad didn't appear to be what he used to be. He abused both my mom and me to an extent. He never fed us or let do what we pleased. One day he was drunk and he went upstairs to kill my mom and I was hiding in a closet. A closet. I could've saved her but I was scared and she died because of me. Because I was a coward. My mom of course told me to run and I did. I watched everything unravel before my eyes. I even had a small case of anorexia from not being fed much. See now? I do understand. I want you Elizabeth to understand that what happened to either of us was unforgivable but we all need to move on. I'm ready and I sure as hell know Edward is." I told her all this while on the verge of tears. I looked at her and she had regret in her eyes.
"I am s-" She started but I cut her off.
"Save it." I told her before walking away.
"One last thing, No one was trying to replace you while you weren't in his life either." I told her on my way upstairs. I took the stairs two at a time till I reached Edward's room. When I got upstairs I shut Edward's room door and I went to his bed. I plopped on it and I cried on his pillow.
Knock!
Knock!
I didn't bother to answer to whoever was knocking. I just continued to cry.
I heard the door open then shut softly and then footsteps. Suddenly I heard the sound of heels coming towards me and I immediately knew who it was.
Alice and Rosalie.
I felt them come and sit with me on the bed and then Alice began talking.
"Bella?" She asked.
"We heard what happened and she was very rude. She had no right to say that to you." Alice told me.
"Yeah, someone's on the rag." Rosalie muttered.
I busted out laughing and Alice hugged me. I hugged her back and then Alice forced Rose in.
"You guys are the best." I croaked out to them.
"That's what friends are for!" Alice chimed. I smiled.
"Yes Alice that is what they are for." I told her. Suddenly Alice and I heard Rose gasp.
"What?" I asked.
"You ruined you makeup!" Rose growled. I giggled.
"Way to be sensitive Rose." Alice muttered.
I giggled and then I heard The front door open and then I heard the voices of the guys. Alice, Rose and I made eye and contact and then I panicked.
"They're back!" We said in unison.
"Bella come on! We can't let Edward see you like this." Alice hissed. I let her drag me to Edward's bathroom and we went in with Rose following.
"Rose no! Go stall!" Alice hissed again.
"How?' Rose asked panicked.
"I don't know hurt yourself! Do something." She said. I laughed.
Rose huffed but nodded and went to stall. Alice locked the door and she made me sit on the toilet while she worked to clean up my face. We were very quiet and then we heard Rose talking to the guys.
"Hey guys! What's up?" She asked.
"Hey Rose!" We heard Emmett say.
"Rose where's Bella?" I heard Edward ask.
"Uh..I don't know! I don't keep tabs on your girlfriend." Rose told him. She was good.
"O-Kay" Edward said. Suddenly Alice and I heard footsteps coming upstairs and Then Rose's heel's on the floor hurrying up to beat the person coming upstairs.
"No, don't go in there!" Rose said.
"Why?" Edward asked.
"Why? uh..cause I clogged your toilet! yeah I clogged it." Rose said.
"Whoa! Rose clogged the toilet? Go Rose!" Emmett boomed.
Alice and I were laughing hysterically in the bathroom.
"Rose why were you using my restroom in the first place?" Edward asked.
"Uh, because All the others
were occupied."
She said.
"Rose we have four bathrooms and you're telling me all of them were used?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, Alice was in one and Bella to." She said.
"That's only two." Edward said. "What aren't you telling me?"
"Nothing."
"Well I better go see what I can do to unclog the toilet." Edward said. We then heard Rose try to stop him but nothing could stop him.
When he came to the restroom Alice and I had our Ears on the door listening. There were two large knocks on the door that startled Alice and I and we bumped heads.
"Watch it Alice!" I hissed.
"Sorry."
"Bella?" Edward asked.
"What do I do?" I whispered to Alice.
"You look fine now. Open the door." She said.
I nodded and I unlocked the door.
Edward busted through and he saw Alice on the floor with me on my knees.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Uh...We were trying to unclog the toilet. Yeah that's what we were doing." Alice said.
I busted into a fit of giggles. Edward stared at me but he let it go. He helped Alice and I up and when we got up I looked at him properly and he frowned.
"Alice why don't you go down with Rose I need to talk with Bella." HE suggested.
Alice shrugged and then left. Now she chooses to leave us alone.
"Bella what's wrong? Your eyes are swollen and red." He said.
"Nothing. I'm fine." I told him.
"Bella I know there's something wrong now spill." He said.
"Nothing's wrong. I just fell and hurt myself but I'm fine now." He looked unconvinced and I could tell he was going to push it further but then Carlisle walked in.
"Sorry to interrupt but Everyone's downstairs waiting for you guys to join." Carlisle said.
Edward nodded. "We'll be down in a second." He told him.
With that Carlisle left.
"We can talk later." He said before he kissed me. It was very unexpected but I quickly fell into it.
When he pulled away he held me tight because I was incoherent from the kiss.
"Maybe I shouldn't do that to you." He said with a cocky grin lighting up his features. I smiled and we began walking downstairs. Curse him for being so good at distractions. I didn't want to go down and see his mom again but I would do it for Edward. I would do it for him I chanted to myself on the way down.
