"Carlisle is a good friend," James reassured Bella who had been silently crying the entire ride. "He has a daughter and a son your age," James explained as he pulled in the driveway. "Alice is going to take you under her wing I just know it," he turned off the car placing his hand gently on Bella's leg. "He's also a Dr. he'll do a proper exam once he's in the office. His wife will probably talk to you tonight, her name is Esme and she is therapist." Bella only shook her head pointlessly wiping away her tears since more just kept coming. Carlisle stepped outside slowly walking to the car.
"You must be Isabella?" Carlisle questioned opening the passanger door. "I do hope you like Italian, that's what we've prepared." he explained looking at her outfit seeing spots of blood on her knees. "What happened?" he questioned lightly placing his hand on the small of her back leading up both up the long driveway.
"I fell, when," Bella finally spoke shaking her head refusing to finish her statement.
"That's okay," Carlisle rubbed her back gently as she started crying again. "My daughter, Alice, has prepared some clothes for you. I do believe she's still up there. if you don't mind sitting on the patio bench while I speak with your brother?" Bella only shook her head walking to the bench sitting down almost like a zombie. Carlisle raised his eyebrows waiting for the explanation.
"My mother was murdered," James blurted out chocking back a sob. "Charlie, her husband..." he trailed off shaking his head. Carlisle only placed his hands on his shoulders bringing him in for a hug while James let the tears fall. "bastard ran away!" He yelled his rage taking over.
"You and Isabella will stay here tonight. you two should not be alone right now. Show a picture of Charlie to me, if we see or have seen him my boys will know. Your sister," Carlisle pointed to Bella, "she found her?" he only shook his head more tears falling down his cheek.
"Okay let's go inside." Bella got up from the bench once they came to the front porch. James only wrapped his arm around Bella giving her a kiss on the head as they walked into the mansion sized house. "Alice, this is Isabella," Carlisle motioned towards Bella. "She's been through a traumatic event tonight. Can you show her the outfit you prepared for her?" Alice only shook her head and grabbed Bella's hand with a smile.
"In order to feel good, you need to look good!" Alice said gently guilding her up the stairs. for the first time all day Bella actually let a small smile form on her lips.
"My mom use to say that," Bella announced, her smile fading just as quickly as it had come across her face.
"Boys," Carlisle called loud enough that Edward, Emmett, Jasper, and Victoria came from the other room Victoria immediately walking to James only giving him a hug standing beside him. "Show them who we're on the look out for," James got out his phone showing him a picture of Charlie with Renee. It made him sick just looking at the picture.
"Tell us why exactly we're looking for a cop?" Edward raised his eyebrow shoving a lollipop in his mouth angrily. He'd been in a fowl mood since trying to quit smoking.
"He murdered my mother last night," the lollipop had fallen out of Edwards mouth. "Here's the proof just so you have a little more motive," Edward pulled up the photo he'd snapped of Renee laying in the kitchen barely recognizable. "If Bella had been there there isn't a doubt in my mind, she'd be dead to," he explained shoving his phone at Edward before walking outside to collect himself. James knew he should speak to Edward with more respect, but at the moment he didn't give a flying fuck.

"I'll get these stains out for you. Living with a bunch of boys I've learned a thing about getting blood out," Alice laughed trying to make Bella feel at least a little better. She only shook her head telling her not to.
"Can you sneak me outside?" Bella finally asked scratching her head. "James doesn't know I smoke. I've needed one all day," Alice only shook her head as Bella buttoned the skinny jeans Alice had let her borrow. The outfit was adorable, a purple flowered tank top paired with skinny jeans and a pair of black flats, simple, yet flattering.
"Edward has a secret spot. If he's out there he won't tell if you don't," she whispered linking her arm through Bella's leading her downstairs. Alice immediately turned silently opening the sliding glass door taking Bella to the only unlit corner. "Fancy meeting you here big brother," Alice chimed tisking at Edward as he rolled his eyes while he smoked his cigarette.
"Here," he handed Alice one of her own with a smile she lit the cigarette as Bella lit hers. Edward hadn't noticed the other girl that had come out with her. He wasn't able to get a good look at her, but he knew she must have been James sister. "I guess how are you is a really shitty question to ask," Edward spoke taking a drag of his cigarette.
"You would be correct," Bella said back taking a drag of her own cigarette. Bella opened her purse taking out a flask taking a small swig earning a chuckle from Edward and Alice as she put her hand out.
"I knew I would like her," Alice chimed making Bella shake her head but hand her the flask. "So, I hate to be a budge but I feel like I'm walking on eggshells over here." Alice announced handing the flask to Edward.
"My dad murdered my mom last night while I was at a friend's house." Bella didn't have any more tears to cry now she was angry. Edward handed her back the flask while she took a drag of her cigarette trying to calm down. "Because what? Because why? Were they fighting cause I didn't come home cause I was out busy being a fuckup?" Bella was yelling now making Alice sneak back inside. "If I just would have been home. If I wouldn't have gotten drunk at Angela's because I wanted to avoid all the fighting she'd still fucking be here!" Edward walked to stand beside Bella simply pointing to the sky.
"You know what my mom use to tell me?" He spoke softly as he plopped back lazily in the lit area of the grass. Bella was pulled from her angry rant as he patted the area of grass next to her. "You have to sit down to hear it," Bella slightly rolled her eyes but sat down, as she did Edward laid back, so bella did the same. "If you ever need me when I'm not around simply look to the sky." Bella only scoffed slightly.
"You could call your mother." Bella argued making Edward scoff.
"No, I can call Esme. I'm lucky and I got two, my biological mom died when I was seven. Probably not to far off from how your mother died." he explained matter of factly finally turning his head to look at Bella. "One thing I do know, your mom wouldn't want you blaming yourself because you were out living your life. You did not do anything wrong." He went back to looking at the stars hearing footsteps. "So when I'm really mad. I come out here, look at the sky, and talk to my mom." He shrugged his shoulders patting the spot next to him noticing James had come up behind us. "One rule, no big brother talk," he narrowed his eyes handing Bella a flask out of his pocket.
"You're almost eighteen Bella, I think if there's a night it's okay for you to drink. It's tonight." he explained as she took a sip out of the flask.
"Hey Mom," Edward started out hearing ice being shaken in a cup. Of course Jasper would start making drinks. "I've been thinking about you a lot today. Actually thought I saw you when I was trying to pick out organic tomatoes for your sister. Then I snapped back to reality and picked whatever tomatoes I could reach. Needless to say I don't think Ill be picking out any fruit - or is it a vegetable? either way I won't be doing that for a while." He laughed slightly running his hands through the grass. "You guys don't need to talk tonight. Not tonight, just know she's there listening when you're ready." He placed his hands on their legs finally sitting up.
"Sorry I freaked out on you," James announced once he sat up. Edward only rolled his eyes.
"Dude, we're all good. I probably would have knocked someone out if they would have done what I did to you. Now I think I heard Jasper making drinks yes?" He hollered getting to his feet instantly putting his hand out to help Bella to her feet.

"So did you have a boyfriend back in Forks? Alice questioned Bella after their second drink. The boys were busy playing billiards on while me and Alice sat on the couch watching as they took turns shooting.
"No. Well I mean not really," Bella laughed her eyes more focused on the pool table, or rather the brown haired beauty that was shooting. "I had a boyfriend. Technically I guess I still do. the police have my phone in case Charlie tries to call but I was going to break up with him." She explained watching as Edward missed the first shot in four balls. "Do you have a boyfriend?" Edward gave a laugh slouching back on the couch while Jasper took his shot on the pool table.
"Alice isn't allowed to date. Isn't that right?" Edward teased lightly poking his sister's arm as she rolled her eyes shooing him away with her hands. He got up without another word returning to his pool game.
"Come outside with me!" Alice whispered not giving Bella a choice as she dragged her out the back patio. "So you know how you needed help. I do you," Alice handed Bella a cigarette lighting hers as they walked - or rather slightly stumbled to the unlit area of the backyard. "Technically Edward is right, I'm not supposed to date. I do have a boyfriend. Could you just distract the boys for a minute. I mean besides Jasper." she whispered making Bella giggle she thought she saw a few looks being exchanged.
"How?" Alice laughed a little before she took a drag of her cigarette.
"When we get back in there I bet Victoria and James will be making out. Edward and Jasper will have excused themselves to the living room to watch a movie, Emmett's probably already in his room. It really just leaves Edward." Bella shook her head taking the last drag of her cigarette.
"How old is Jasper?" Bella knew he wasn't seventeen but he didn't look older than twenty three.
"Same age as Edward, so he's twenty." Alice explained shrugging her shoulders. "technically a three year difference cause I just turned seventeen," she explained in a voice barely loud enough that Bella could hear her.
"Unless you want to see your brother's girlfriend almost shirtless I suggest the living room," Edward chuckled running with Jasper to the room across the hallway. Alice only chuckled grabbing hold of Bella running into the living room, Bella and Alice immediately sitting in the middle of the couch so the boys had to sit on opposite ends. "Comedy yes?" He asked putting on a movie before anyone agreed and turned out the lights. Jasper grabbed twoo blankets handing one to Bella and one to Alice as the two boys took their spots on the couch.
"What movie did you pick anyways?" Bella questioned giving a slight yawn as she started covering up with the blanket.
"She's Out Of My League. It's an oldie, but a good one," he explained easily as he slouched back on the couch putting his feet on the coffee table to he was effectively spread out. Alice only nudged my foot making me give her a slight eye roll.
"I know you just started it and got comfortable but I haven't peed since I got here," I heard Alice give a low chuckle as she cleared her throat at my excuse. Edward only raised his eyebrow but got to his feet as Bella did the same. He lead her to the bathroom opening the door with a crooked smile.
"Would you like an escort back?" he asked pretending to tip a hat making Bella give a chuckle.
"Perhaps the gentleman will come back with a drink for the two of us?" Edward only smiled shaking his head in agreeance as he walked to the fully stocked bar to grab two drinks.
--
"Edward is going to know something is up, Allie," Jasper almost moaned between the drunken kisses making Alice chuckle. As soon as they'd gotten out of earshot Alice started kissing Jasper. She figured Bella would be asking for a proper tour of the house to distract him. It would take a while.
"Are you telling me to stop, Jazz?" Alice questioned innocently as she straddled his lap pressing her core against his rock hard cock. "Cause your penis hasn't caught up to that just yet," Alice whispered in his ear making Jasper wrap his arms around her waist easily sliding his hands up the back of her shirt so he was touching her bare skin. Just touching Alice sent and entire spark through his body much like it did for her.
"You know I can't tell you to stop," Jasper whispered pulling her hair back pressing their lips together again, this time parting her lips so his tongue could explore the inside of Alice's mouth. "I want to fuck you tonight, so bad," Jasper whispered grinding his cock against Alice's jeans as he started pinching her nipples.
"We could squeeze a quickie in," Alice was almost begging. Usually they would never even attempt to do this anywhere near Alice's house, but Carlisle was asleep with Esme, James was busy, Emmett was asleep, and hopefully Bella would keep Edward busy long enough. Jasper let out a soft moan as Alice easily unbuttoned his pants and grabbed his cock slowly stroking it up and down with her hand. Jasper laid his head back moving his hands to her jeans unbuttoning then lifting Alice just enough to get them off, then cover her back up with the blanket.
"Someone gets horney when they drink whiskey," Jasper whispered in Alice's ear as he pushed her panties to the side slowly sliding a finger up her slit immediately his finger was drenched. He only put his fingers to his lips giving a moan as he licked them off. "I'm going to lick your pussy tomorrow," he whispered as he positioned himself at Alice's entrance and she slowly lowered herself until his cock was burried deep inside her pussy.
"Fuck," Jasper whispered as Alice slowly began lift her hips and slowly sit back down on him. Jasper lifted Alice's shift only enough so he was underneath her shirt as he started sucking on her nipples making Alice move slightly faster.
"Jazz, kiss me," Alice moaned a little too loud making Jasper come out from under her shirt and hungrily press his lips to hers as he lifted her up and started pumping wildly in and out of her. Against their lips he could hear her moaning in his mouth as her body started to violently shake Jasper removed his lips from hers covering her mouth with his hand as she started to moan and Jasper thrusted into her one more time as her walls started pulsing around his cock and he came inside her. Breathing heavily he lifted Alice Off his lap silently buttoning his pants and Alice slipped hers back on.
"I love you," Jasper whispered pulling her into his chest. He knew no one ever though anything of it when they ended up falling asleep in each other's arms. All Jasper wanted to do was tell Carlisle, but somehow he knew that wouldn't be a good idea.
"I love you too Jazzie," Alice whispered gently pressing her lips to his for the last time that night.
