Jasper POV
Me, my mate and my vampire siblings arrive back at the house and I'm slammed with emotions: hurt and a shit load of anger. Whoa, who's this?
Running ahead of my mate and siblings, I enter the house and find Carlisle, Esme and Bella sitting on the couch, Carlisle and Esme have their arms around Bella. Bella is in between them, feeling... ah it was Bella who was projecting those emotions but why? What the hell did they talk about to make her hurt and angry? I run at vampire speed kneel in front of my little human sister. "What's with all the hurt and anger, Darlin?" I ask, my southern accent making an appearance, knowing that it'll calm her slightly. Bella smiles at my accent and becomes a little less angry. I knew my accent would work like a charm. "I'll explain when everyone else gets their sparkly asses in here." She loudly that our siblings and mates hear. I chuckle and get to my feet as I smell my mate and siblings coming in.
Edward immediately runs to Bella, adopting my previous position, but the only difference is that Bella yanks her hands out of his like they're covered with something icky. Edward looks hurt by this action. "I want a family meeting. Now." Bella snaps in an icy cold tone that makes everyone flinch. Shit, she must be angry with something, or someone. Everyone nods, not wanting to piss her off even more. We all move into the hardly-used dining room where Carlisle sits at the head of the table with Esme and Bella either side of him, both his arms around his wife and youngest daughter. Uh-oh, one of us is in deep shit if Carlisle and Esme are sitting next to each other at a family meeting. This only happens once every few decades and when this happens, one of us is in it deep.
Emmett sits next to Bella with Rose while me and Alice sit opposite them with Edward near the dining room door, leaning against it with his hands in his pockets, looking like he could care less about the reason for this meeting. Bella sees him and becomes enraged by him, she gives him a glare that would have human hearts racing so fast that they'd pass out. "Edward, did you not hear me? I said 'I want a family meeting now' I didn't realise that you weren't part of this family, did anyone else realise this or was it just me?" She snaps in a rhetorical and sarcastic tone. Edward groans and plonks himself beside Alice. He smirks at Bella. "How's this, princess?" He sneers, making Bella jump up from her seat and stare at him directly in the eye. Her emotions have just gone from hurt and anger to outrage and fury, oh no. Carlisle stands up and puts a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
"Calm down sweetheart, he's just hoping to get a rise out of you. Calm down. That's it." Carlisle whispers.
Bella starts calming down and eventually sits back down. She looks directly at Edward and judging by the way she's looking at him and her emotions, I can guess this 'family meeting' is directed solely on Edward.
Rosalie POV
Bella looks like she wants to kill Edward right now and to be honest she just might if she wasn't in a room of indestructible vampires. Bella sighs. "Now, is everyone ready?" She asks, her tone indicating that it was a rhetorical question that wasn't meant to be answered. "Right, all I'm going to say is that I know what happened after Edward took me home after my birthday party that night and to say I'm pissed would be the understatement of the century! I'm only pissed at one person," she's looking at Edward. "you. I know what you said and how fucking dare you!" She says, her voice raised. Edward growls and looks at Carlisle and Esme with a little of hate in his eyes. "What did you tell her?!" He demands, standing up. Bella snarls before standing up herself. "Sit your sparkly ass down, Edward. Don't shout at Mom and Dad. They told me the truth, unlike you!" She shouts. I look at my mate and siblings: they look impressed with Bella. I don't blame them: I do too.
"I didn't tell you the truth because you didn't ask for the truth, love, but I can guarantee you that not all of what our parents told you was the truth." Edward lies. Bella looks like she wants to jump over the table and strangle him. Carlisle, seeing the look in Bella's eyes, places a hand around her waist. "Don't you dare insinuate that our parents were lying about this, Edward Antony Masen Cullen, but seeing as you are, let's ask our siblings, hmm?" She looks at me and Emmett.
"Did or did not he say that I'm only with him for immortality, Rosie, Emmy." She asks in a small voice, using our nicknames she gave us when we woke her up from one of her many terrifying nightmares. She badly wants this sentence to be a lie but she knows that it's true. With a sad face, me and Emmett nod. "Yeah, Little Swan, he did." Emmett says softly. Bella takes a breath and wipes her eyes. She turns to Jasper and Alice. "Jazz, Al?" They both nod. Tears well up in our little sisters eyes. She doesn't wipe them away when she turns to our parents. "Mommy, Daddy?" Our parents also nod. Carlisle pulls her closer but she pulls away from him and walks up to Edward.
"HOW DARE YOU? I'M ONLY WITH YOU FOR IMMORTALITY?!" She screams, tears falling rapidly down her face.
She runs out of the dining room sobbing her little heart out.
Alice POV
I hear my little sister run out of the dining room, crying hysterically. I wish I could scoop her into a giant hug. I bury my head in Jaspers chest. "I know, Ali, I know." He whispers. A growl comes from Edward's throat. I lift my head and see him staring at our parents. "You shouldn't have told her anything about that night!" He snarls. Oh boy. Carlisle snarls right back. "We had to in order for her to forgive us and seeing as you didn't do it, we did it for you." Carlisle snaps. Edward flinches. "You had no right." Edward advances towards Carlisle: Esme lets out a squeak of fear before hissing warningly at him. "I'd stop right there if you value your piano, music and car as much as you say you do." She hisses, crouching down in front of her mate. Edward pales. "You wouldn't." He says. Esme hisses again. "Try me, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, just try me, I dare you." Badass Esme! We've rarely seen this side of Esme and when we do: someone is in trouble and they'd better get their tails running as fast as they can.
Carlisle pulls his wife up and holds her close. "Calm down love." He says, inhaling her hair and purring to calm her down. Carlisle turns to us. "Can you guys find your sister and take out somewhere. Your Mother and I need to chat with your brother." We nod, passing them, Emmett smiles as he bumps his shoulder into Edward who growls busy doesn't say anything.
Once outside of the dining room, we all spilt up into mates and search our massive house for our favourite little human sister. "Where would she be, Jazz?" I ask after searching the entire second and third floor and coming up empty. Rose and Emmett meet us outside their room, also empty. After being silent for a few minutes, Emmett and Jasper snap their fingers and look at each other, smirking. "The attic!" They say. Woah, what attic? This place doesn't have an attic, does it?
The boys run upstairs to the fourth floor which I didn't know existed. Me and Rose follow our husbands.
I hope Bella is in this so-called attic.
