A/N: Thanks you soooo much guys. That is one of the best responses I've ever gotten to a chapter! Just letting you know, I based the last chapter off a little bit of the song "Just a Dream" by Carrie Underwood... So… if you thought of that when reading… you were right. This is going to be another not-so happy chapter so… I'm sorry about that but it needs to be written to get this story the way I want it to go. Trust me, happier times will be coming in the near future. I have excessive amounts of hw and I have an English Essay due on Tuesday, so bear with me. I'll try to get these chapters coming out more and more and quickly as possible. It's almost the end of the first quarter so… finally grades are important here. Thanks and review!
ALSO… THERE IS A POLL ON MY BIO THAT I NEED YOUR HELP ON. I NEED NAMES FOR THE TWINS AND WHAT GENDER!!! THANKS!!! :D
Chapter 10
It was storming outside when I woke. My head was resting in somebody's lap and I could hear the crackle of wood in the fireplace. I turned around to see who had stayed with me and saw that everyone was lying on makeshift beds on my living room floor. My loving caring family. I don't know what I would do without them. Slowly I climber through the maze of bodies to the den, hoping to catch some re-runs of any TV show. As I approached the entrance to the room, I saw flashing lights and the sound of gun shots. I whimpered quietly, the word shot shivers down my spine. Subconsciously I began to rub soothing circles onto my ever growing stomach. I sighed when I saw Emmett, my bear of a brother, sitting on the couch shooting all the people that got in his ways.
"God dam people! I'll kill you!" He mumbled, anger and sadness building in his voice. "You killed my brother and now I'll kill you!" he yelled again. "You'll pay! I promise you… you will all die you freaking morons! Every last one of you!" he bellowed louder, throwing the controller at the TV screen. The screen went black, cracking where the xbox controller hit. Emmett was fully crying now and I slowly walked over to him, placing my hand on his shoulder.
"Emmett…" I murmured. He looked up at me startled.
"Bella! I'm… I'm… I'm... Sorry. I will… will fix that in the morning." He whispered facing away from me, trying to hide his tears.
"Emmett. Stop. Crying. Wanting to kill others isn't going to make Edward get any better. We need to think that he will pull through Emmett," my voiced cracked, tears re-emerging, "Emmett… he's not gone yet. He-he can still pull through. He's a strong person… anyone that can wrestle you and get out alive is strong enough to take a bullet." I said smiling. I heard a laugh come out of Emmett and taking that as a good sign, began to clean up the room. Throwing the controller didn't seem like the only thing that happened in this room when I was asleep. It looked like a tornado flew through there, knocking books and everything on the floor. I removed the tattered copies of the classics that I've had since I was a young girl. Something caught my eye though. Lying on the ground was the picture of Edward and I on his boat. "The Swan." The glass in the frame was cracked, but that didn't prevent me from seeing his beautiful face. His bronze hair, coving his bright green eyes, was blowing in the wind. He had his arms wrapped around my waist and we were both smiling. That was one of the happiest days of my life… the day Edward proposed. The rest of the family came on another boat and took a picture of us as they were driving past… and they recorded the proposal. Alice is always prepared. Tears were slowly sliding down my face again, but this time for happy reasons. I stacked the books back on the shelf and looked around the room. It was in better shape then it originally was… this time Emmett was conked out on the couch snoring. Smiling, I shut the light and walked into the kitchen to begin breakfast. There were a lot more mouths to feed this morning and they were all about to wake up… better get moving.
