Dusk
Chapter 2: Promises
After I heard his soothing voice I was back in my dreamless sleep. But then something weird happened, Emmett's face filled my head. Before I could stop myself I seen myself running up to him and…kissing him! Honestly, in the dream if felt normal. Almost like it was supposed to happen. I woke up with a startled scream, it took Edward by surprise. Everyone was already at the door. "Bella, why did you scream? Did you have another nightmare?" Edward asked almost too calm. "No…no, just something that wasn't supposed to happen. Not at all!" The last part was a really low whisper. Then Alice shoved forward pushing Rosalie out of the way. "Edward, can I have a minute alone with Bella," she said that more as a demand than a question. All I could think about was, oh my god she knew! Which makes me wonder does Jasper feel anything coming from me towards Emmett? No, that's not possible. I love Edward. The only one I want is Edward? I kept screaming those two thought in my heard. "Okay, Bella we get it you love EDWARD!" Jasper yelled. Edward only smiled
Edward answered Alice's question (or demand either one), "Sure, I guess…" he trailed off when he looked at me. Worriedly, I slowly nodded, not really sure what to do. I guess I didn't really have a choice. Meanwhile while I was thinking, Alice kicked everyone out but me and, of course, herself.
"So," she started, "Are you gonna tell me what this is really about?" I sat in silence. "Well, I guess, if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to," she sounded really sad. I looked up at her, big mistake. She was wearing her "world famous" puppy dog eyes. "Okay, fine," I sighed, "But you can't tell anybody, not even Jasper. Promise?" "Yes, I promise!" squealed Alice. Then her face got really serious. Why didn't I realize sooner. I just decided to tell her, so she has a vision and sees it first-hand! It is so unfair. "How…why…do you realize how many people would get upset over that!" Alice said barely slow enough for me to understand. "Alice, I didn't do ANYTHING it was just a dream. A dream I will make sure never comes true. I couldn't hurt Edward or any of you like that. Emmett is pretty much my own brother. I, myself, would never, could never forgive myself. I…" I was sobbing now unable to continue. Which was okay because Alice cut me off anyway. "Bella, what are you talking about, and what does it have to do with Emmett. Oh, and what about a dream?" "Alice, tell me what you are talking about first." "Okay, but I need Edward to hear this too, even though he can still hear us." Before Alice was finished there was a faint knock on the door. "Come in Edward," Alice said sounding impatient and annoyed now. "Okay, Edward, before I can tell Bella what I seen you have to tell Bella about what happened." "Alice, no, I…I just can—" Alice cut him off sounding even more impatient, "Edward, either you tell her now, or I will! And I think she would rather hear this from you!" All Edward could do was glare at Alice, knowing she was right. Then he yelled, "Jasper, calm you wife down!" I heard a fain "Okay." Then Alice "I'm so sorry Edward! Could you please, please forgive me? I don't know what came over me!? I just wanted you to tell her!" "Of course I do Alice, you're my little sister and I love ya." Edward said that, smiled his crooked smile and instantly knew Alice felt better. Edward was about to continue till, yet another knock sounded on the door. This time it was Rosalie.
I really didn't feel comfortable seeing Rose, not after my dream anyway. If any of them found out, I would be humiliated. All Rosalie did was sit down and say, "Well, get on with it, we don't have ALL day!" "Rose, why are you in here?" Edward asked in a low, dark voice. (The one where he sounds like a vampire.) "Honestly, I just have a hunch that this involves Emmett." "Then shouldn't, oh I don't know, Emmett be in here!" This time it was Alice. She was getting annoyed, again. Rosalie stood up and said, "Fine, then," glared at Alice and walked out. "Okay, Bella—" Edward started to speak but was cut off by Emmett barging through the door, looking at me, Edward then Alice and settled himself on Edward's black leather couch. "Are you finished yet?" Edward was now the one sounding impatient, and that usually takes a lot of work. "Yes, I am," stated Emmett. "As I was saying, Bella," He said looking at me now. "It wasn't really Jacob that was by your house yesterday, it was…Demetri. I know I lied to you, but I had to, you do believe me now though, right?" I was too shocked to speak. Not really by the fact it was Demetri, but Edward lied to me! "Bella, please look at me," Edward pleaded, "You know why, don't you? I mean, you would be so worried about, well everything!" "Yes, I am going to worry a little, he came here looking for me! And that's not why I won't look at you." The last part barely made it out, I knew he heard it though. "Then why won't you?" He added now whispering. "Alice, Emmett, could you give me and Edward just 3 minutes. I swear, it won't take any longer than that." Alice nodded and left trying to pull Emmett, only he was too busy saying "Oooo your in trouble!" Well, he was taunting him more than anything. Emmett stopped at the door, and started to say, "Bellies, don't be too hard…" "OUT!" I screamed. All he did was laugh, then realize I was serious. He shut the door really fast when he seen my face. It was a little comical, but I didn't change my expression.
I turned toward Edward, he looked nervous. "What the HELL are you lying to me for!" I screamed, I guess there was no need to kick Alice and Emmett out, I mean they could hear everything I am saying plain as day. He just looked at me with a sad face and whispered, "I was only tying to protect you." "I know that, but lying to me only gives me false security. I don't want false security, I want actually security." "Bella, you are in a house full of vampires! If anyone tried to get to you, I think you'd be safe here. And when I told you it was Jacob, well… he was around, he just wasn't why I reacted that way. Plus, if you thought it was Jacob you wouldn't worry about Charlie," he explained. "Oh my God, Charlie!" I practically screamed, again. "You see what I mean, but he is fine Alice stayed the night after you 'turned in early'. So he is perfectly safe, that is unless you don't trust Alice," he chuckled and pulled me into a tight hug. Then pulling me back so he could look in my eyes. He smiled my favorite crooked smile. "So, am I forgiven?" he asked trying his best to seem innocent. He failed; I was looking in his eyes, mostly lost in thought, "Of course you're forgiven," I began, "Under two conditions." He tensed as I said that. "Condition number one: Kiss me!" He smiled and fulfilled the first condition. "Second, promise me you will NEVER lie to me again. He was looking at me, starting to hesitate. "Bella you know I didn't technically. Jacob was there. I –" I put my finger to his lips, closed my eyes and whispered, "Just, promise me." "I promise, Bella, I promise." After saying that I leaned down pulling her closer to me, and kissed her forehead.
