Jacob's POV
"Here, take her," I said to Jasper. Before Jasper could grab her Alice pulled her into her arms.
"I got her," she said.
I took a step forward when Emmett grabbed me.
"Don't, pup," they aren't worth it.
"Emmett, are you going to make nice with the mutt, too, now?" Rose snarled.
"Edward, Rose, you heard Carlisle. Get in the car and get the hell out of here. If you don't you will be sorry," Esme warned.
"Alright, alright, Esme. Don't get your panties in a wad. We are leaving," Rose said.
Somehow, Alice let Bella go and she charged Blondie. Before I could grab her, Esme had her in her arms and was whispering in her ear.
"Bella, baby. Stop. I told you she's not worth it."
Jasper managed to grab Alice as she flew towards Blondie. Jasper walked over, still holding Alice and placed his hand on Bella's shoulder; I guess her was trying to calm her down.
"Do not talk to her like that, you whore," Alice growled.
Bella started crying again and fell to her knees. Emmett pulled her into his chest.
"Don't worry, they're leaving now. We'll be okay, Bells, I promise," he said, broken. I felt bad for both of them.
"I would advise you two to leave and not return. I can't believe you did this to us," Emmett looked up to them like he could kill them both. I was so ready to help him.
"I will help him tear your miserable ass into pieces," I warned Edward only for him to hear.
This is truly going to mess with her head. I remember what she went through the last time he left and this was worse. I don't know what I will have to do but I will help her through this. I will not let her slip into that dark place she was in before they came back. I turned to the doctor.
"I think you need to look at Bella's hand, it's bleeding and swollen," he nodded. Emmett picked her up to carry her inside.
"Bells, honey, what happened to your hand?" I asked almost scared to find out when I heard Alice giggle.
"What's so funny?" I asked, irritated.
"Well, Jacob, it seems our Bella here has a bit of a temper. She punched Rose in the face. That is why her hand looks like that," Alice said, still giggling.
"Bella, you would have done better punching a brick wall," I said, fighting my own laughter.
That's my girl. She doesn't take anyone's shit!
"Well, I wasn't mad at the wall, but I see now it was not the brightest idea I've ever had," Bella said. _________________________________________________________________________________________
Bella's POV
"Well, Jacob, it seems our Bella here has a bit of a temper. She punched Rose in the face. That is why her hand looks like that," she said, still giggling.
I rolled my eyes. Leave it Alice to be comic relief.
"Bella, you would have done better to punch a brick wall," he said, fighting laughter.
You both suck ass!
"Well, I wasn't mad at the fucking wall, but I see now it was not the brightest idea, I've ever had," I said.
My hand fuckin' hurts all because I let my anger get the best of me. I was not the only one hurting. Why was I not thinking about Emmett. He has lost so much more than I had. I was ashamed of the way I acted.
"Darlin', don't be ashamed, we all feel the same way you do. We can just control it a little better," Jasper whispered in my ear.
"No, it wasn't the best idea. Just remember, little girl. If you try it again, you might not be as lucky," Rose said, walking to the car.
My temper over took my senses again and I saw red.
"I have told you already... I. Am. Not. Afraid. Of. You!" I screamed, as Emmett's grip tightened around me.
Swan, calm the fuck down. You are not helping the situation. Psycho Barbie can tear you to pieces before you can blink. Just take a deep breath. I was torn from my own ranting when I heard Jake growl.
"Listen, bitch. Leave her alone. Why don't you pick on someone your own size? Oh yeah, right, 'cuz I'd kick your ass," Jacob growled out louder than I'd heard before.
I looked up to see Rose and Edward shooting daggers at him. I can only imagine what he was telling Edward silently. I would agree with every word I am sure of it. In this stated of mind, anyway.
Emmett carried in the house, away from them. I closed my eyes.
As I opened my eyes, the room was silent with the exception of Esme and Alice's quiet sobbing.
They just lost part of their family and I am acting stupid. Smooth move, dumb ass. Self loathing. What, are you taking notes from Edward now? Get a grip.
Everyone was starring at me. Emmett had pulled me into his lap. As I scanned the room, I saw Jake and Jasper's expressions. They were angry and grieving for different reasons. Jasper was trying to help Alice and his family, and Jacob was feeling bad for me. They don't deserve this. Jane was right, I always seem to bring out the worst in their kind.
Grief overtook me and I started crying hysterically again. Jacob came to sit with me and tried calming me down. I felt calm wash over me and I lost it again.
"Jasper, stop... I have to... to feel this... I... have to get it out," I gasped.
"Bells, why are you being so stubborn? Do you remember the last time he left? You can't do that again. I won't let you," Jacob stated in a hushed voice.
"I wasn't like that just because he left, Jake. You know that," I said, through my stream of tears.
"Bells, we are not going to leave you again. Don't worry. We will help each other, I'm here for you, always," Emmett said, kissing the top of my head. _________________________________________________________________________________________
Emmett's POV
I carried Bella up in the house, away from everyone. She did not need to be subjected to their shit any longer, nor did I. Everyone was quiet as they filed in after us. I looked down at Bella, her eyes were closed.
"She is trying to calm herself," Jasper whispered. I just nodded.
Esme and Alice were still shaking with unshed sobs. I really wanted to kill Rose and Edward. How could they do this? They didn't even seem to care.
Everyone was watching Bella as she sat on my lap. She opened her eyes and looked around the room at our family. She paused when she got to Jacob and Jasper. They were angry and grieving for different reasons. Jasper was trying to help Alice and his family and Jacob was feeling bad for Bella. His best friend was suffering and there was nothing he could do.
Bella started crying hysterically again. Jacob came to sit by her. He tried calming me down. I felt calm wash over me and I silently was thanking Jasper.
"Jasper, stop... I have to... to feel this... I... have to get it out," she said, through gasps.
"Bells, why are you being so stubborn. Do you remember the last time he left? You can't do that again. I want let you." Jacob stated in a hushed voice.
"I wasn't like that just because he left, Jake. You know that," she cried out.
"Bells we are not going to leave you again. Don't worry. We will need to help each other. I am here for you, always," I said, kissing the top of her head.
I meant it. I'd always be there for her no matter what. This family needed time to heal and start again.
"Emmett, you're right. We'll be okay. It just hurts," she said, through the tears running down her red cheeks. Every tear drop broke my dead heart even more.
I had to be strong for her. This family would have to put this behind them. We'll not forget it of course but we have more important things to deal with and I'm not going to let them forget it. We had to be ready for next weekend and Bella moving in a couple of weeks. It was going to be difficult, but we'll manage it together.
