The Showdown

(In EPOV)

As soon as Emmett alerted us, we looked at the door, a familiar scent washed through me... Bella is here... as in here here. Oh crap... we are indeed in a big problem. At the door, she was not alone; she had the same weird brunette friend with here. Their faces showed pure and unadulterated fury. To make me even more positive, Jasper sent me a report of their emotions mentally. I was right indeed!

Both of them looked as through they were a time bomb of anger waiting to burst.

Bella, now with a blond wig, looked exactly the same... well except for the wig thing. We were waiting for the silence to break and when it did, we all wished it hadn't... her Miley had started... (he knows the name because she had announced it earlier.)

"Well, well, well! If it isn't the infamous Cullen clan! Or family as they call themselves!" she sneered. "Isn't this a pleasant get together! I finally get to meet that family that broke my best friend... No, scratch that! My sister's heart! Aren't y'all a happy bunch! So sweet! So fucking sugary sweet family who certainly knows how to melt and break hearts!" At that she turned her head, located me ant started her and directed her speech to me and me alone... "So tell me copperhead? How many playthings do you have around this country?" Oh God... I am so dead... I never did tell my siblings how I broke up with Bella! I am so screwed! "Any more distractions around the world! Poor them! But at least they got a moment with 'the legendary Cullens'." At that, I realized how I must have sounded to Bella while breaking up with her... I called her a distraction in such a way that it makes me now look like a player! Again, CRAP! She continued on... making me realize more and more mistakes "See the sarcasm over there? So bronzie answer me! Are there any more of the bimbos, no offence Bells, that you scored with? Huh?" at that, I was speechless. People had called me various names (most were compliments, no means to brag!) this was the first time anyone ever thought of calling either of the names Miley called me.

She had said all that in such a way that Rosalie would definitely lose her cool, and she did. I wasn't surprised at that. What I was left astounded by was the fact that she said all that by sticking up to my ass... which in this case was a bad choice since I was the guilty.

Miley took is surprisingly well, that took all of us completely off guard. She started slowly... snaking her way to the top rather victoriously. She simply smiled and went off. "Ah! If it isn't Rosalie, the beauty or pig head of the family! Edward's words, not mine!" I'm saving this too frequently, but this girl is hell bent on screwing my ass. "Any ways, back on the topic. I'm Destiny Hope Cyrus, or Miley, choose what you like... coming here and marching my ass almost reluctantly to scream at the horrid family who broke my sissy's heart!" Shit! That one hit every one close to home. All their thoughts indicating one thing... Edward! What did you do?

Rosalie was the only one who wasn't thinking that way, but along with the other's, her mouth was hanging wide open.

During this whole exchange Tanya was simply looking at the speaking parties and then at me. She had complete confusion in her mind as to what was going on. Then something snapped in her... is the blonde Bella? Nod if yes. I subtly nodded and then she caught on well... even better than me!

The whole time I had a close eye on Miley and Bella. I was astounded to see that Miley had a comeback even for open mouths! "Close your mouths people, wouldn't want to torture the flies that go in them!" at that my entire family was in plain amusement but they also had shadowed shame for something they didn't do.

Finally, Bella spoke up... the entire family breathed a sigh of relief. At least Bella wouldn't scream as much as her friend did... right? And indeed she had said the happy words, "Miles, I think that's enough…." Miley looked at her surprised, she saw something in Bella's eyes and almost as though through eye contact, they had an entire conversation. "I believe it's my turn now? Eh?" as soon as she said that the entire family thought one thing... again. Oh-no...

She looked back at the entire family... she had started rather pleasantly. Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as we thought. Who were we kidding? This was so going to be the worst!

"Hello guys? How you doing? Emmett don't bother answering, it's a rhetorical question." She knew him so well because he was just about to answer indeed! "By the looks of it y'all are doing pretty well….if not better!" seriously, she has no idea! thought Rosalie. "Seriously Miles, aren't they a truly happy bunch!" she turned to look at Miles...

"So how were the songs, darlings? Isn't it wonderful to tell the world about heart ache? I don't suppose you went through the same thing? Well of coarse not! How stupid of me! A vampire whose heart does not beat or break obviously won't go through it! How sweet it that? Well must be nice not to go through it right? Well at least the worst is done for me! Well, I must say… all of you can lie amazingly!" she had no idea what a heart ache for a vampire is, thought Jasper. But yes it is true that we can easily find a distraction as well.

She paused for a second and then turned to Carlisle... "Let's start from the eldest.. hi Carlisle!" she started... we were all definitely in for a surprise. Currently, it honestly looked as though she was meeting Carlisle after years... as id she were his beast buddy earlier. We all knew that she respected Carlisle and could never say hateful things to him unless he did some thing extremely wrong. "How ya doing doc? I must say, you open wounds just as fast as you stitch 'em!" at the he he flinched as though some one had tasered him... the only thing that was running through his head was the time he stitched her gashes at home... at her birthday treat. "Must be a talent…" she continued, "Do you know how to do that to vampires? I believe I have some people I have to mend…" with that almost the entire room shuddered... except for the unnatural humans! She seemed to be paying attention to Carlisle. When she said that he flinched so hard that it was almost as though she was giving a shock therapy with the highest frequency possible. She had a smug smile which clearly indicated...one down, six to go.

Next, she turned to Esme. The only look that her face and feelings held was sheer disappointment. When she started it almost looked as though she was reluctant to say any thing mean but she still started, "Who next? Darling mother Esme!" at that I knew what she thought but she looked so hurt by the way Bella started... I couldn't comprehend of anything else. "I don't have any thing to say… I do have some respect not only to you but Carlisle, but can't help it if I have the valid material, can I? The only the thing I can say…rather ask, Why? I thought I was considered a daughter? I just don't believe that you out of all people could do that to me." Oh sweetie really didn't mean to... you really are like my daughter...please, I don't want to lose another child! With you gone, Edward's already lost, I don't want to lose you too! Thought Esme.

Bella left that at that and turned to my bulky brother. "Emmy bear?" she started as though she were asking hr brother an everyday favor. What surprised me was that Emmett actually fell for that load of bull! Maybe I stillam her favorite and she won't say anything to me! "How are you? Found any more of those clumsy human recreational artists from bronzie's posse?" cue: the flinch. Did she honestly believe I had a posse? And I so hate "bronzie" more than "Eddie" now! "Are you as close to them as you were to me? You know what? Let it be… I want to keep your privacy," she sneered. Oh god, she had believed me on more than I let on! What am I going to do?

As she turned to bomb on rose, we were all curious to know what she would say. The earlier Bella would blushed and tried to avoid rose, but this one looked as though she liked to take her problems head on. "Aah! As Miles said! The beauty and pig head of the family! Tell me one thing… what did I ever do to you?" at this the whole family was stunned to silence. Rose was cursing like a sailor in her mind toward me. She actually admired the fact that Bella had grown a back bone and was now speaking for herself. But this admiration didn't go on for long. "Me, a mere human, and your actually jealous? You got every thing you possible… the love of your existence... a family that actually cares about you… the looks of the best possible person and even if you don't want it… boys drooling all over you. The sayings are true… 'You can always quench a mans thirst but never his greed…' You can't always get what you want…" we didn't know where she was going with this. What was the point of saying these things when they were completely off-subject? "You think that if you lived your life with Royce the king you would be happy back then? You might have gotten a child, but other than the child, you would have to reason to live." WHAT? How the hell does she know? Am I being punk'd or something? speculated Rose. "Don't bother asking how I know about Royce because I never reveal my sources. Any ways, I never did put your family in trouble and nor did I even say or do anything to you. You didn't even know me and you already had judged me as a rotten fruit who can't make the right choices. You had no right to ever do that." We were all bewildered to hear our Bella speak like that to Rose. But what she said was true and for that Rose seemed to be sincerely sorry towards Bella.

She turned towards the strategist of the family. It peaked all our interest again because she never really interacted much with him. "Jasper, I never really knew you so I honestly don't know what to say, I just want to add that what happened on my birthday wasn't your fault and just let that be at that…." We were all shocked. This shit was getting old. Every time Bella would even open her mouth, all of us would be left astounded. We actually thought that was all that she would sat to him, but she added something that scared Alice shitless. "But for your darling mate, I do have a few words," as soon as the words left Bella's mouth, Ali started to look ahead... to see what was in store for her. But surprisingly enough, she couldn't see any thing. Again as if some one blocked her on purpose.

We waited as she took a deep breath before she started. "Mrs. Mary Alice Brandon-Cullen-Hale, how nice to see the psychic who gave me false hopes! I don't believe it that all this time, you actually fed me the crap of saying that Edward and I were made for each other!" Ali internally pouted but it is true... not my fault my brother changed his mind. "Seriously, I'm so happy that I finally grew out of that bullshit! Seriously, all this time didn't any of you feel guilty about the lying? Y'all seemed to be such sweet people, who were there for the people's good. I must say… I'm bewildered by all your behavior. Never had I expected that such deceivers in my life!" it was true, we all, especially me did feel guilty about lying to her, just not about what she was indicating because all that she was pointing to wards was the truth. "And now the last but certainly not the least!"

She finally looked at me but her eyes only had one feeling dominantly showing... hate.

"Ah! My now least favorite Cullen!" Eddie is so in for it, Emmett thought. "How's it for you copper headed Eddie? I hope the depression did not affect you too much…" she asked rhetorically. "You know I'm finally agreeing with your theories that vampires don't have a soul. Forget vampires… maybe only you! You want to know why? That's because a conscience and a soul are a rather package deal and from what I have observed a conscience is the only thing un-available in you along with a soul." She went on for quite some time. Each word of disappointment caused me increasing depression. When she finally finished up, the entire family had faces of hurt and agony for me. After all this, she waited for some time. Looking at each person's face, in their eyes...

She again started but this time, the words had a ring saying that it is the last part... it is going to get over, soon "Be happy you only had a verbal cause for depression." It was bound to happen. Any one after a break up would go through depression. I just didn't realize that all my words of farewell, Rose's bad attitude alone had caused pain of this magnitude. "If that alone caused you so much pain imagine mine and also" she waited for a long dramatic pause and belt out the dreaded words "leave me the fuck alone!" as she turned to the door, she looked back and smiled at Tanya specifically, "Oh and one more thing, hey Tanya! Be careful, he shows a lot of fake love for distractions... just warning!" she stage-whispered. Oh god! I am so screwed. All my family knew that I had said some thing hurtful to Bella, but never asked me what. From their angry expressions, I knew my day from now was going to be one long roller coaster. And this was just the start of it.
