Yes, it has been so damn long since I updated this story! But please read this chapter anyways! And going back to read the last couple chapters is recommended, so no one is lost on what is going on.
Enjoy.
When Peter finally walked out he spotted Bella and ran to her. He moved to embrace her in a hug, but she pulled back and just gave him a cold scowl.
"Are you fucking stupid?" She hissed. "What the hell did you do that got you locked up?"
Peter had the decency to look ashamed as he answered. "Charlotte took my clothes and your father saw me crossing the street to go to the store and get more."
This is when Bella looked down to see Peter was wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants that obviously didn't fit him. He looked ridiculous and Bella cracked a smile.
"You are so fucking stupid, Peter." She said it kindly though and led him out the door to her rusty truck. "Get in, I'll drive you to the Cullens and you can get clothes."
Peter pulled himself into the passenger seat and began to protest. "We can't go there! If Charlotte sees me, my balls are a goner!" There was pure panic in his eyes.
"Well, you should have thought of that before you did whatever you did to piss her off."
"If she is there, I'm holding you responsible for my protection." Peter huffed with resign.
Bella smirked and drove on, refusing to comment.
As they got closer to the Cullen's house, Bella had to pay special attention to where they were going. If she missed the turn she would have to do a U-turn. Last time she had to do a U-turn of this narrow road, she had ended up decapitating her truck when she ground it against the front of a tree. That had been a pain in the ass to fix.
She brought the truck to a stop in the Cullen driveway and looked over at Peter.
He had his head resting back and his eyes closed, almost as if he were asleep.
"Your wife surely isn't that scary," Bella shoved his arm. "Get out, you great rut!"
He still didn't move.
So she got out of the car and made her way to the other side. She opened the door and grabbed his arm.
One, two, three PULL!
She yanked him as hard as she could and he didn't even move. She huffed and just held his arm and let her weight hang.
When that didn't work she wrapped both her arms around his and lifted her feet off the ground, Hanging in a little ball wrapped around Peters arm.
Her grip slipped and she fell with a soft thud to the ground.
She stood and brushed herself off with al the dignity she could muster.
"Come off it, Peter! Get out of the damn car!" She growled in frustration before stomping back to the other side of the car and climbing in. She began to shove him, trying to get him to fall out, but he just dug his finger into the seat.
All the way into the seat.
Bella saw his fingers puncture her dear trucks insides and she began to curse so bad it would make a sailor blush.
"Fuck you, man! Fuck you! Get out! Out I say! You rat bastard!"
Through her cursing she didn't notice a figure walk up and hank Peters arm so hard, the dead-weighted body tumbled to the ground.
Bella looked through the open door to see Emmett grinning. "Rat bastard is right."
She climbed back out of the car as Peter stood up.
He glanced around and sighed in relief. "She's not here."
And just as he said it, Charlotte appeared at the treeline.
"Nooooooo!" Peter screeched as she ran at him and grabbed his collar. "Help meee! Bellaaa! Bellaa!" He was past the trees now and Bella could no longer see him but he kept screeching.
"Bellaaa! You said you would proteeeccctt meee!" He was full on whinning and sobbing now.
His cries got more distant and muffled till Bella couldn't hear him any longer.
Emmett's hearty laugh filled the silence as he bent over and gripped his belly.
He looked up and immediately stopped. "What's happened to you face?"
"Oh, thanks. That's such a kind thing to say to a girl," Bella scoffed with a smile.
"Seriously though," he insisted. "What happened?"
She just grimaced and answered, "Just some cuts that I didn't want to get infected."
He just shot her and unbelieving look before dropping the subject,
"Come inside. I'm all alone and terribly bored." He grabbed her arm and gave her a light tug in the direction of the house. She complied.
"As long as its only you."
They walked inside and plopped themselves down on the couch.
"Oh yeah, huh? You and Eddy broke up. Forgot about that."
Bella pulled herself from the couch and went to mess with the gaming systems before turning one on and inserting Grand Theft Auto.
"Let us play," she suggested with a grin and a flourish, grabbing to remotes and sitting back down next to Emmett.
They played for a good long while, and were both hooting and yelling at the screen as they furiously pressed buttons.
They had moved on from Grand Theft Auto and were now playing an intense racing game.
Bella was sitting criss cross, but had all her weigh leaned forward so she was closer to the screen. "Shit, shit, shit," She cursed as her car didn't turn at the right angle and was now heading for a wall. She desperately trying pushing buttons as hard as she could and twisting the remote in the direction she desired.
Emmett was yipping as he cleared the finish line, followed but the other ten cars, Bella not finishing, as she couldn't get herself away from the damn wall.
Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Rosalie, and Edward all entered the house to this scene.
"My remote is broken! It's not fair!" Bella whined, trying to dignify her loss.
Emmett grinned. "Then trade," he suggested, offering his remote to her. She snatched it up and handed him hers.
She started the next round.
Carlisle shot Edward a worried look before he and Esme left the room. Rosalie grinned at her husband and went up to her room.
Alice slipped into a vision and slipped into the kitchen.
Edward didn't move. He stood there, frozen. Staring.
It was bit unnerving if anyone actually saw it. He looked like a predator.
But no one did see it, because he ran as fast as possible to his room.
He didn't want to see her.
More accurately, he didn't want her to see him.
Edward had become a mess. He didn't know what to do with himself. He hadn't actually hunted when they were out today. He had just sat, staring into space.
He hadn't been sitting there thinking of anything remotely important. He didn't breathe, or blink, or think.
He. Just. Sat.
Back downstairs, Emmett was having his ass handed to him.
The remote Bella had traded Emmett was indeed broken. It didn't take the controls fats enough, and Emmett found himself in the same predicament Bella had been in last round. Stuck against a wall.
Bella slipped on a grin as she won 1st place and let out a "Hah," right in Emmett's face.
A voice cleared behind them and they both turned to see Jasper standing in the doorway, smirking at the pair.
"Jasper," Bella said.
"Bella," jasper said in return.
"Emmett!" Emmett chimed in before turning away with a smile and leaving the room.
"Can I talk to you?" Bella asked. No, she did not know what she was going to say. But she was going to say something. Hopefully. Or she was just going to stand there stuttering like a fool and giving Jasper another opportunity to laugh at her.
Jaspers face became serious and he jerked his head towards the door, motioning for her to follow.
Oh dear god, she thought. Why had she done that?
Yes! I'm back! No, I did not fall off the face of the earth! I read back through my story and realized that it was supremely awesome, and I got the erg to write.
I started the story with the intentions of making it happen while school was happening, but I kept forgetting to write about going to school, so I changed it to summer break. So the part about Bella having homework doesn't make sense, but who really cares? I hope you guys don't, because I'm really not going to go through and change it :P
And a huge thanks to those of you who kept this on you alert list and actually read this chapter!
Love as always,
