Chapter 5
APOV
After Carlisle came home Edward called a family meeting. While we were waiting for Emmett and Rosalie-don't even want to think about what they were doing-I sat there and glared at Edward. Edward glared right back.
"What is with you two?" Esme always wanted to know why two of her children were fighting. Sometimes her motherliness got annoying but sometimes it was helpful.
"You'll see soon enough." I snapped back. It came out with a lot of anger and shocked everyone except Edward, who continued to glare at me. I began to feel a wave of calm going through me. "Jasper, you're going to have to send a lot more calmness through the room in a few minutes." Jasper looked at me in confusion but I didn't care I was still too mad at Edward.
"Sorry we're late." Rosalie and Emmett came into the room. Rosalie, as usual, apologized for both her and Emmett being late.
"I'm not sorry," Emmett said. It was obvious then, if not before, what they were doing.
"Enough, Emmett. Now Edward has called this meeting and I think that he deserves our respect and full attention." Carlisle emphasized the part about full attention no doubt to keep Rosalie and Emmett off of each other. "Now, Edward, what is it that you wanted to tell us?"
Edward cleared his throat, no doubt nervous about telling everyone that he is leaving. "I am leaving. I'm going back to Alaska with Tanya and the others." Everyone just stared at Edward in shock. I was the only one who wasn't speechless.
"You are an idiot. You are leaving just because there is one person that you can't stand. One person compared to our family. Why don't you just try to work things out and get away from her?" I was fuming. I couldn't control myself and I think that Jasper was so shocked at Edward's announcement that he didn't even try to calm me down.
"You know I tried, Alice. I can't just switch classes on a whim."
"You can't just leave on a whim either. You would have to notify the school, turn in all of your books, and have papers arranged to send to a different school. Besides how are we going to explain that you're the only one in our family that's moving back to Alaska? Are we going to say that you just can't stand the people here so you're leaving us here to go and live on your own?"
"Alice! Edward! Calm down. Now let's talk about this. I'm sure that this can be resolved without you leaving, Edward." Carlisle always knew when he needed to control us. That's the father in him but I could tell that on the inside he was a little mad-mostly shocked-about Edward deciding to leave. "Now, Edward, would you mind explaining to us what this is all about?"
Jasper sent waves of calm through everyone so that we wouldn't freak out. "There is this girl in my Biology class. I can't stand the way she smells. Today, I was actually planning out ways to kill her. I don't want to endanger anyone's life. I just want to go away from here, away from the temptation."
"Edward, sweetie, couldn't you just try to switch classes to avoid her?" Esme sounded like she was so broken up on the inside. It was hard for all of us to hear Edward say he wanted to leave, but Esme was like his mother. No bond is harder to break than the bond between mother and child.
"I tried that already. They said that I couldn't change classes because all of the other classes were full."
"You could say it's for health reasons." Emmett pitched in for the first time. I think that he would miss Edward, too. He would probably just miss fighting with him over stupid little things, but he would still miss him.
"Yea, sure, Emmett. I'm allergic to the girl next to me so I need to switch classes. That sounds like a normal excuse. I'm leaving and there is nothing that anyone can do to stop me. Good bye. I'll miss you, I'll miss you all."
With those last words he walked out the door. I could hear the soft purr of the car starting from inside. It was only after I couldn't hear them anymore that I realized what had just happened. Edward had just left us over a girl and was going to come back. It was completely silent, all of us to stunned to even breathe.
"I need to be alone." I was the one to break the silence. Edward was the brother that I was closest to, except for Jasper; Jasper was my husband though so he didn't count. Edward was also my best friend. To watch my best friend leave me and our family all over one girl was tragic. If it was possible, it would have torn my heart out.
A/N: Sorry for the depressing chapter, but I see a close bond between Alice and Edward, so when he leaves it would have been depressing for her. Poor Alice. I think that I am going to stop here for the night; give my creative juices some rest. I gave you four chapters today. Thanks for reading. Please Review. Flames are still welcome (I haven't gotten any yet.). ;)
