Chapter 17: Well… this isn't awkward
EPOV
Well… this isn't awkward.
I looked around the table, Emmett and Bella sat next to each other, silently eating their lunch, Jasper and Alice looked around the table, then shared a look, Rosalie was sitting beside me, looking down at her lunch.
"Ok, what's going on?" Alice demanded. No one answered, and the silence continued.
"Bella?" Alice asked. Bella looked up from her lunch, and around the table, before looking at Alice.
"Nothing, why?" Bella asked.
"I dunno. Because no ones talking, and it feels all, you know, awkward" Alice mumbled.
"You must be imagining it Ali" Bella said innocently.
"Emmett?" Alice asked.
"Nothing, why would anything be wrong Alice? You know, everyone's happy. Everything is friggin fine, so just drop it will you" Emmett said harshly. Alice's eyes started to water.
"Emmett" Rosalie said disapproving me.
Then, everything happened pretty fast.
"DON'T YOU DARE 'EMMETT' ME ROSALIE" he said, slamming his fist on the table, then getting up with more force than necessary.
He started to storm away, but then stopped.
"Emmett" Bella said softly, holding onto his hand, even though it wouldn't stop him from leaving if he wanted too. There stared into each others eye for a minute, having a silent discussion, before Emmett sat back down.
I looked over to Rose, who was shooting daggers at Bella. Bella rubbed a soothing circle on Emmett's back.
All of a sudden, Rosalie got up and stormed out of the cafeteria.
We all kind of stared at our food in silence.
"Well… on the plus side, the apple crumble is delicious" Jasper said.
