CHAPTER 2: a family decision
BELLA'S POV
"So, I'm sure everyone knows why we are here." Carlisle said in a calm yet stern voice. We were sitting around our dinning room table. Family meetings are primarily what we use this particular piece of furnisher for, so when Carlisle called for everyone to come here and sit, we knew what was happening.
"Um. I actually don't" Alice said innocently.
"Oh my god", Edward snickered, "You're so stupid. It's obviously about how you are always starting fights with me."
"Edward." Esme looked on the verge of becoming upset, but not quite at the moment. She was just stern, "Please do not call your sister stupid. Apologize right now."
"Fine. I'm deeply and truly sorry, Alice." Edward said this with an exaggerated innocent look on his face. Mocking Alice.
"You see Edward? THAT is why we are all here. Why have you and your sister been at each other's throats lately? It is extremely unnecessary and annoying. It affects everyone in this house, and we need to put a stop to it. Right. Now." Carlisle said. Edward simply looked down at the floor. He looked like a mischievous child. A big… handsome… perfect child. I almost laughed. Almost being the keyword.
"Look, Dad, it's really not that big of a deal." Alice tried. I would swear I heard Emmett laugh, and Edward shot him a dirty look. Then Edward looked angry. Emmett obviously thought something Edward disliked, but what's new about that? Anyway, as Carlisle went on and on about how we should conduct ourselves in this house, and towards other people, even though we all knew it would make no difference to the situation in which we are currently in, and I was getting more and more annoyed by the mere second.
"So, in conclusion, we should all always—"
"SHUT UP! OH MY GOD, I CAN'T STAND THIS!" I saw the shock on everyone's faces, and felt a feeling of calm seep through my body, but it had little effect, "Please! Don't even try that with me right now Jasper! I can't take it anymore! Edward, Alice, you both need to get over yourselves, and SHUT. UP!"
"Come on Bella, don't do anything you might regret later…" Emmett said, but I could sense that it was more of a plead, rather than a warning.
"I'm sorry, but I can't just sit back and watch our family fall
apart."
"Ugh. Bella, you are such a drama queen. I would hardly call this 'falling apart'." Rosalie said, but not before rolling her eyes at my emotions.
"You see guys?! Your fighting has had an effect on the whole family, causing us all to fight." Even though, Rosalie has never really liked me, but I didn't say that. I mean, I was trying to prove a point here. "And something needs to be done. Something… drastic." I saw Edward jump up from his chair and try to stop me, but he was too late. I concentrated on Edward and Alice, and flicked my wrist.
"NO! OH MY GOD! BELLA, YOU SWORE YOU WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO ANY OF US!" Edward shrieked. But I didn't care. This had gotten out of hand, and my power could be our last solution…
