Chapter 2
EVOP
We were in Carlisle and Esme's apartment and Bella had just left. Carlisle said,"So she can sing yet she won't sing for us."
Alice said alittle hert,"I can't believe she won't talk to us. I mean Edward I believe but us. We didn't do anything we only did this because of Edward and he won't fix this."
Esme said,"Alice we all miss Bella, but blaming Edward isn't going to solve anything. We should just talk to her as a family without Edward. Then him talk to her alone. That might help."
All the sudden someone was knocking furiously. Carlisle got up and Logan was there with a worried expression and no pants. He asked,"Your a doctor right?"
Carlisle said,"Yes. Why? And more importantly why do you not have pants on?"
He looked down and said,"James pulled my pants off trying to get me out of the swirly slide. I didn't have time to put them back on. Look Bella's hert. She pulled James out of the swirly slide, she hit her head, and then blacked out. We didn't notice till James pulled all of us out. You have got to help her."
Carlisle said,"Sure. I'll get my bag and be over as soon as I can." He ran in his office space. I got up and followed Logan across the hall. We walked in and James and Carlos were trying to put her on the couch but struggling. Kendall was on the phone. James and Carlos put her on the floor again. I walked up and picked her up with ease. I laid her on the couch as Carlisle and everyone ran inside. We were waiting in the kitchen while Carlisle looked at her.
Carlos asked,"How did you pick her up so easily? You do weights or something?"
I said,"Yea. I do. Plus I used to pick her up all the time back in Forks."
Logan said harshly,"Your the guy that left her in Forks, aren't you? She hates you."
I said sadly,"I know. I didn't want to, but we had to."
Logan said,"Maybe you should tell her that." He walked back to his friends by the oven.
Alice said,"See even he thinks you need to talk to her. Talk to her by the end of the week. Get her back so you can acually smile again."
Rosalie said,"Look I know this doesn't sound like me, but Bella's part of the family. Eddie you need to talk to her. I don't like it when part of the family's missing."
Alice said,"Wow Rosalie. You acually like Bella."
Rosalie said,"I liked her from the begining, but I thought she would do something to the family. Something like blabber our secret or break us apart. I was wrong."
Emmette hugged her from behind and said,"That's very big of you Rosie."
Carlisle walked over to Logan and said,"She's going to be just fine. She might not wake up for a few hours though. Do you mind if we stay?"
Logan and the three other boys looked between them and nodded. They said,"Sure."
Kendall said,"My mothers on her way with my little sister Katie." Someone busted down the door and a policeman walked in.
Carlos said,"Popi." Then ran up and hugged him.
The Policeman said,"Son." Then hugged back.
I asked,"Logan. Who's that?"
Logan said,"That's Carlos's father. Cheif of the police in Minnesota. Very good friends with Charlie when he was still around."
I saw Bella up at the door screwing it back in. I ran up and picked her up from behind getting her away from the door. She asked,"What are you doing? Put me down."
I said,"No. Your hert. You should be laying down." I carried her to the couch and set her on the couch. Logan ran up and she asked,"Logan?"
He asked,"Yea? Is something wrong?"
She looked slightly amused and asked,"Why aren't you wearing pants? The last thing I remember was you four stuck in the Swirly slide. I don't remember you being pantless."
He looked down and said,"I'll be right back."
He got up and ran in the back. Alice hugged her and asked,"Are you alright? You scared me. What happened? Why were those guys stuck in a slide? Why didn't you tell us we cou have helped? Are you sure you're-" Bella put her hand over Alice's mouth.
Bella said,"Alice I'm fine. I pulled James out of the Swirly slide and hit my head. The guys were stuck in a slide because they fight and go down at once. I didn't tell you because you didn't have to help i've pulled them out of that slide 100 times, and I'm fine."
The door fell again and a women and a little girl with suitcases walked in. The women asked,"What happened to the door."
Bella said,"Cheif Pena's here."
The women and 10 year old nodded in agreement. The women walked over and sat next to Bella. She asked,"Are you alright."
She said,"Yea I'm fine. The guys just got stuck again."
The 10 year old said,"Hey Bella."
Bella said causally,"Hey Katie. We still on for poker tonight."
Katie said,"I have all my money and the cards. Your going down."
She said,"Yea right. I've been beating you for three months. I can beat you now munchkin."
Emmette asked,"You can play Poker?"
She nodded and said,"Yea. I'm the best there is. I can beat Katie. She's the second best."
Emmette laughed and said,"Yea you two are the best then there are no good Poker players here."
She said,"Really? So Emmette you wanna play a friendly game with Katie and me?"
He said,"Sure. Just say when and where."
Katie said,"Right now. Right here. I'll get the cards. One round no money betting."
Katie ran back down the Hall as Logan walked out. He asked,"Where's Katie going."
Bella said,"Getting the cards. We're playing a friendly game with Emmette."
Logan walked up to Emmette and whispered,"Get out now. She will destroy you. She cleaned me out and I had three hundred bucks."
Katie walked in and Bella got up and sat at the table with Emmette and Katie. She delt the cards and Kaite and Bella had a smile on their faces. Emmette didn't notice and they put worried looks on their faces. He put his cards down and said,"Flush."
Katie put her cards on the table and said,"Four kings."
Bella put her cards down and said,"Four Aces." Katie and her slapped their hands together and laughed.
Emmette sat there dumbstruck blabbering,''What? How? This doesn't make any sense. I can't be beat."
Rosalie pulled him up and said,"It's Alright Emmette. Your still the best in the family."
Alice said,"Wow Bella. You are good at poker. Are you as good a singer as you are a Poker player?"
Logan said,"Yes. She's better at singing then at poker."
Esme asked,"Will you please sing for us? We're dying to know how you sound."
Kendall said,"Yea you still have that practicing from Gustavo. You might as well practice while they're here. So you can have an audience."
She groaned and got up. She came out of the hallway a few minutes later with a CD player and music sheets. She said,"Only once. Here it goes:
Lonesome stranger
With a crowd around you
I see who you are
You joke, they laugh
Til the show is over
Then you fall so hard
If you're needing
A soul-to-soul connection
I'll run to your side
When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something that resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
Open close me
Leave your secrets with me
I can ease your pain
And my arms will be
Just like walls around you
Come in from the rain
If you're running
In the wrong direction
I will lead you back
When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something that resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
Broken
Shattered like a mirror
In a million pieces
Sooner or later
You've got to find
Something someone
To find you and save you
When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something that resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
When you're looking for something that resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
I'll be a home to your homeless heart."
After I finished the song everyone clapped and Katie said,"Way better then playing Poker. Do you know when your Demo is coming out?"
She laughed and leaned back hitting her head against the wall. Emmette asked,"Your making a CD."
"Yea. The guys I'm excited for. They have their first concert in a week and it's sold it."
Carlos said,"Yea. It's gonna be awesome. Millions of girls, CDs tours, and we're gonna be famous. It's gonna be the same for you Bells. Except with millions of guys. Not girls."
She laughed and I growled lowly. I didn't want other guys going after her. I like having her by my side with me. She said,"Yea. It's gonna be fun. What I'm looking forward to most is the guys. It's gonna be fun."
I growled lowly again and Carlisle asked,"Bella? Do you think we could talk to you in our apartment across the Hall. Alone." She nodded and Alice grabbed her wrist.
We walked outside and she shut her door. I asked in a low whisper,"Bella? Can I talk to you for a minute? Just the two of us?" She nodded and I led her to my apartment.
We walked in and she said,"Look Edward, I know you hate me. So what's this about?"
I said,"Look I didn't mean what I said in the forest. I just thought we were to dangerous to be around you. I thought you would get hert so we left. I didn't want to. I never would have if we weren't dangerous."
She breathed and said,"Look I want to believe you but you still left me in the middle of the forest with Victoria and Laurant after me. I don't know if I could forget that or not."
I said,"I'm not asking you to forget, but I'm asking you to forgive me. I'm also not asking you to take me back, but I'd like for you to."
She breathed and asked,"Can I think about it? I can't think under pressure."
I said,"Sure. Just come to me with your answer."
She nodded and said,"Alright. Now I have to go back to my apartment. I need to finish my homework."
I said,"Bye. See you later." Then she left.
That's the end of Chapter two. So will Bella take him back and forgive him or will she reject him Please tune in next time.
