Chapter 9-
They had made a lot of progress that day. Jasper felt a lot more in control than he had before. That was a positive thing. A negative thing was that Tristan and Edward beat the crap out of each other.
"Why do you keep bugging her?" Tristan slightly growled to himself while everyone was busy helping Jasper. Unfortunately, Edward heard and made his way over inconspicuously.
"She likes me." He answered simply, shrugging lightly.
"Well she is with me. So ease up." Tristan threatened while watching Bella laugh and smile happily.
"She doesn't like you like she likes me." He said calmly watching Bella as well.
"Yeah because she doesn't like you at all." Tristan grumbled stubbornly.
Edward snorted slightly.
"You must be crazy if you think that you have a chance with Bella."
"Well then call the guys in the white coats because I know that I have a chance with her."
"Stop deluding yourself." Tristan scowled.
" I didn't come here to fight with you. I came here to help my brother." Edward said, trying to bring back the peace. Not so much peace because there was really none. It was more like tension but as long as they weren't arguing, it was cool.
"And while you were at it, you thought that you might try to get a date with Bella. That's not gonna happen."
"Look-" Edward started but was cut off when Tristan got upset.
"No. You look. I am with Bella and you are not so get the hell away from her." Tristan threatened pushing Edward, who quickly retaliated with a blow of his own and soon they were all out fighting.
Worriedly and quickly, the two families tried to stop the fight. Emmett and Jasper held Edward back and Jason and Elizabeth did the same for Tristan.
"What happened?!" Alice squealed. "Why were you guys hitting each other? You could have killed- well probably not but there was a small chance that you two could have hurt each other!"
"Yeah. Tristan, what has gotten into you?" Elizabeth agreed.
Tristan shook his family off and flipped his somewhat curly dark brown hair out of his eyes then stormed into the house.
The Brookeses glanced at each other before excusing themselves to look after their brother.
"I'm so sorry about that. Tristan really is a good guy deep down. You just have to look really hard and squint a little." Bella joked, nervously.
Emmett and Jasper quickly let go of Edward.
"I think that it would be a good idea if we went home now." Alice suggested.
"Okay. I'm really sorry and I'm sure that Tristan is too." Bella said, wringing her pale, cold hands.
"No I'm not." Tristan said from the house. Then there was a smacking sound and an audible 'Ouch. What the hell was that for?' from Tristan.
"Edward is sorry too." Rosalie said.
"No I'm not." He said and crossed his arms around his chest stubbornly.
"Yeah he is." Emmett said. "He has such little tact."
"This coming from the guy who doesn't keep it down while having sex with his wife when the family is in the house…" Jasper rolled his eyes.
"At least you don't have to hear their thoughts." Edward said disgustedly. "You guys are disgusting," he said looking at Emmett and Rosalie.
" Well don't listen to us then!" Emmett proposed.
"It's not my fault you guys haven't learned to keep it down…" Edward retaliated.
Alice stopped their squabbling by saying, " Bye Bella. We'll see you later."
Bella smiled. "Ok."
She gave her a hug and then Rosalie and Jasper and Emmett, who she whispered, "Behave yourself and go easy on it. Nobody wants to hear you two going at it…"
And finally she gave Edward a hug. "Thanks for coming and I really am sorry for that. Please don't think that we're crazy psycho maniacs that are out to get you."
Edward chuckled. "Yeah. Sorry. I'll see you later."
Bella nodded and they left.
