I'm so sorry it's so short! Really I am! Please forgive me! I know my story is getting really rubbishy and is loosing the plot slightly…but I do know what is going to happen next!
EdPOV
"EDWARD!" someone yelled.
"Bella?" I asked, surprised. I heard running footsteps getting louder.
"Are…you…ok?" she panted. I nodded. "Alice…phoned" she explained, her breathing slowly turning to normal. Then, completely out of the blue she hugged me. Her arms were around my waist, sobbing into my chest. I winced slightly when my ribs protested.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you!" she said letting go of me.
"That's ok, it doesn't hurt that much" I smiled.
"Alice told me what happened" said Bella meaningfully. I stiffened, that was something I did not want her to know about.
"Are you still there Emmett?" I asked, feeling like an idiot.
"Yup" he said. I just nodded. We stood there in silence.
"We should probably be getting back now" said Emmett, I nodded again.
"Yeah, see you at school tomorrow" said Bella, and then I felt the most amazing feeling. Electricity surged through me as her lips touched my cheek. "Bye Edward" and she was gone. I held my fingers to my face, as if confirming what just happened, Bella had kissed my cheek! I grinned.
"Ooooooh" Emmett whistled. I went bright red. "Someone likes you!" I tried to hit him, but I had no idea where he was, so I just ended up swiping midair.
"Awww, don't get mad Ed! Just teasing you" he playfully ruffled my hair.
"Uhm, Emmett? What are we going to do when we get home?"
"Errmm…tell Aunt Richelle nothing happened and it was all a dream?" he asked hopefully. I smiled slightly.
Neither of us could think of an idea so we just went home. I racked my brains for some brilliant idea whilst Emmett parked the car in front of the house, Emmett didn't get out the car.
"What's wrong Emmett?" I asked.
"There is a police car outside our house" said Emmett disbelievingly. Police car? What had happened? Was anyone hurt? Emmett was probably thinking along the same lines as he didn't say anything else, or make any movement. Finally he said "Come on, let's go see what's happening" he said slamming the car door. I unbuckled my seat belt and opened my door, stumbling slightly. Emmett spun me round the right way and we walked toward the house.
EmPOV
I walked up to one of the police men standing outside our front door.
"Excuse me, what's happening?" I asked politely.
"Who are you young man?" said a balding middle-aged policeman.
"I'm Emmett Cullen"
"Oh, so you live here?" he asked, gesturing to the house. I nodded slowly. "And this must be Edward"
Edward's head snapped up at the mention of his name and his cloudy eyes rested just above the policeman's shoulder. "I think you should come inside" he said nodding to another policeman who grabbed Edward's arm to guide him inside. A look of panic came across Edward's face and he tried to back away.
"It's ok Edward, it's just a policeman, he won't hurt you" I promised. Edward took a deep and let the policeman lead him inside. I followed close behind.
There were around five policemen of various ages and heights and our Aunt Richelle, all in our living room.
"Ok, then. We had a phone call from a certain 'Alice Brandon' informing us on quite a few goings on here." said a young, stern-looking woman. "Come and sit down, and please explain"
"Please, I didn't do anything! I have always loved Edward and Emmett like my own children, but they're out of control! They got into a fight, then started on me when I tried to separate them apart to prevent them from getting hurt! Please, I meant no harm to either of them" Aunt Richelle was on her knees sobbing. Me and Edward stood there dumbstruck.
"Is this true?" asked the policewoman.
"NO!" I shouted. "Those are lies! She hates us! She hits Edward, calls him names and is just plain evil! Edward has scars to prove it!"
"You see, officer? I can't control them! I've tried my best!" Aunt Richelle pleaded.
"OK, everyone just calm down!" said the policewoman loudly. "You" she pointed at me, "start from the beginning."
I explained everything, every little detail. Edward just stood there in silence. Aunt Richelle protesting after every sentence I said. Around thirty minutes later everything was sorted. Aunt Richelle would go on trial in a weeks time, but in the meantime Aunt Richelle would continue looking after us. I protested at that bit.
"But you can't let her look after us!" I panicked.
"At the first sign of trouble ring us, and everyday someone from the police force will drop by" said the balding policeman, throwing a glance at Aunt Richelle. He obviously didn't approve of this idea.
They all bustled out the house, leaving me, Edward and Aunt Richelle.
"Right then, you little brats. Listen to me, you will not call the police or anyone else and you will lie to the policemen that come. Understand?" she growled menacingly. Edward nodded weakly, but I didn't make any movement. This meant war.
EdPOV
Friday. Good and Bad. Good because no more school for two days. Bad because that meant I was in the house more, which meant more of Aunt Richelle's torture. But then I remembered I was supposed to be going shopping with Alice and Bella on Saturday. That lightened my weekend slightly…ok, hugely.
"Hello Edward, are you in there?" Emmett's voice breaking off my train of thought. "We're nearly at school"
"What? Oh. Right" I muttered. As soon as I got out the car I heard "Edward!" and then I was bombarded with an enthusiastic hug.
"Bella?" I asked, shocked.
"Yes?" she laughed.
"Uh, nothing" I said, hugging her lightly back.
"You smell nice" she said suddenly. I'm sure I went bright red.
"Uhm, thanks?" it sounded like a question.
"You're welcome" she squeaked, sounding just as embarrassed as I felt. She let go of me, "The bell's gonna go soon, I'll see you at lunch" I waved.
I was daydreaming as Alice pulled me off to maths. Daydreaming…mainly of Bella. I sat down and before I knew it Alice was tugging my arm.
"Come on Edward, maths is over!"
The rest of the day passed in a blur, and all too soon I was sitting down in the cafeteria.
"Hey Edward" said Bella, sitting down next to me.
"Hullo" I said, smiling slightly. She placed her hand in mine under the table. Her hand was small and warm, I felt like a bubble was blowing up inside me as the warmth spread throughout my entire body. It was the best feeling in the world.
Thank you! Thank you thank you thank you! I know its bad, but its just a sort of filler. I couldn't write the next chapter without writing this one first. Next chapter they go shopping and…well you'll have to wait and see! Thank you again!
