Bella
Im holding on your rope got me 10 ft off the ground,
Im hearing what you say but i just cant make a sound,
You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down,
but wait
Tell me that your sorry, didnt think id turn around and say
Its too late to apologize.
Its too late.
Apologize- One republic.
My body tensed, Emmett was at the window in a second
"There back" he exhaled in releif
The footsteps grew louder and my body reflexifly moved towards the door knowing Edward was coming. Id only taken a couple of steps when it burst open and there he was. I felt my face break into a smile, i was so releived. It was like id been holding my head under water and ive finally broken the surface.
It all happend very quickly. My smile faltered something was wrong, Edward looked at me like he was seeing me for the first time, assesing me and then i seen Jasper dart out from behind him and make his way at me. I couldnt move. Jasper collided with me grabbing my arms and pulling them behind my back as he dragged me away from the sofa against the the wall away from the scene. I was so shocked i didnt struggle against him, i couldnt. Everyone was talking at once.
Rose was crouched over the sofa shaking Renesmee "Nessie, Ness, wake up. Carlisle is she all right" she shouted sounding deranged.
"What the hell is wrong with all of you" Emmett shouted, moving his way towards me and Jasper, Jasper hissed and pulled us back further tighting his grip on me. Emmett stopped in his tracks beside the sofa looking thunderously as Jasper.
Edward was sitting down beside Renessmeee who was now sitting up awake and looking around alarmed. Edward pulled her into his lap cradiling her there. Esme was clutching Carlisle's arm whispering frantically for explanations, he looked as confused as i was trying to calm her down. I looked around for Alice and found her near the door they'd all burst through. She was looking at me her pixie face screwed up in confusion and her black spiky hair everywhere from running.
Why would they all react like this, how would they even know. I glanced back at Alice, some peices clicking into place. Alice had seen Nessie get hurt so they'd all come back, but why was Jasper restraining me from the rest of them, as if i was dangerous. Why hadnt Edward come to my defence, he wasnt even looking at me. Renesmee was crying and looking at me from Jasper, to Edward, to me pressing her hands against his face trying for answers. He held her tighter against him. I felt the pull to her, i had to comfort her. I shifted against Jasper moving towards Nessie, he growled and tightened his grip causing me to yelp. Edward opened his eyes but still didnt look at me, he looked as if he were in pain.
"Dont move bella" Jasper said quietly, it sounded like a threat.
"Jazz, let her go. Nothing will happen" Alice said slowly, her face going blank and then coming back into the present. Still confused.
"Why.." Emmett began before Rosalie exploded
"Dont you dare. Jasper, take her outside", her voice burned with acid dripping from every word. i cringed back against Jasper instinctivly. "Why have you still allowed her in here!! Anywhere near her, what the hells wrong with you" she hurled between Emmett and Carlisle.
"Rosalie will you please calm down.." Carlisle began starting to look furious but talking softly
"Us, whats wrong with you lot?!" Emmett snarled back. Emmett never talked to rose like that, shock flitted acorss her features before turning back into the hardned mask burning with rage. I was more terrified of her than i ever had been. Renesmee began to sob more loudly and tried to break Edwards grasp and reach out to me.
"Fine" Rose hissed, "Ill do it" she strightened up out of her protective crouch and and started to move around the sofa. Emmett appeared in front of me blocking Rose.
Why didnt Edward?
Before anyway one else could speak carlisle intervened
"Will everybody please calm down for a few seconds, there is no need to remove Bella,releasing her would be more accurate. Jasper will you please explain to us why you are holding her and what you have all assumed Alice has seen". Ive never heard Carlisle angry, it was scary. His eyes bore into everyone, like a scoulding father. He looked like a furious God.
Jaspers grip loosened under Carlisle's glare, but not by much.I tried not to concentrate on the pain that was rolling over my shoulders. My body must be in an obvious strain, vampires arn't hurt easily. I was trying to push down the agnony being caused on me by my family, not pyhsically but emotionally. Why would they do this to me. Why would Edward allow this to happen to me.
Emmett got it first.
"They think Bella bit her." he snapped out disgusted. I stiffened along with the room. Every feeling i had trying to push its way to the surface evaporated. I felt numb and i was sure id never want to feel again, i didnt underestimate the pain that would come.
Edward sprang up, looking at emmett and reading, hearing and seeing his thoughts. Renesmee still in his arms.
"Oh" he sounded as if he were being strangled. His eyes slid to mine, full of remorse. I couldnt hold his gaze, it made something rear in the pit of my stomach. I looked passed him to the glass window and watched the river not before seeing the appalled look etched into Carlisle handsome face.
Alice moved closer to the scene, "What happend" how could two words sound so pained. I felt eyes on me but i wouldnt respond.
I heard Carlisle slipping over what happened quickly,wanting the hostile situation to pass.
I could understand. I could understand the others assuming this, assuming that i'd bit her if thats what Alice vision had only allowed her to see me biting into her shoulder. They relied on her sight. What i couldnt understand was Edward. Even if everyone else had believed Alice's vision, why would he. How could he. How could believe i'd do such a thing, i knew my love for my daughter would never be ruled by thirst and her scent was the same to everyone as it were to me. Perfume. He mustn't trust me. If he cant trust me, he cant love me. Not in the way that he should. Even if all evidence pointed to me he was mean to to believe in me, agaisnt everything. Like i would for him.
I felt something break inside me. My heart.
Carlisle came to the end of the his speech, adding "Let her go jasper". Jasper reluctantly released his grip on me, moving around to stand beside me, still a little infront. Not fully convinced i wasnt arms were still behind my back, i must of looked ubsurd but i couldnt move. Esme broke out into loud sobs, coming into sync with Renesmees. I felt as if i were carved from stone. The barricade against my emotions crumbled and i felt it all, as they stabbed me. Pain,anger,fury,humilation,hurt,betrayl and more i couldnt register. I didnt let them play off my face. I must of missed one because out of the corner of my eye i seen and felt Edward wince. Emmett moved so he didnt have his back to me but so he could watch the party at sofa and Jasper and I.
"But Alice seen.." Rose said still determined
"Bella, Im so sorry" Esme choked out sitting down on the sofa. I felt her eyes pleading with me, trying to make me look at her. I couldnt. Jaspers shoulders drooped and he crossed the room to stand beside Alice.
"Its not your fault" he whispered feircely, i heard her sob. Id never heard Alice sob. She was always determined to find a way out of a dark corner. She was trapped in this one.
The remorse was building up in the room, i could feel it. I couldnt stand it. It broke Edward first. He set Rensmee, still crying on the sofa. Taking a step to towards me
"Bella" he said softly. I closed my eyes. I could feel the remorse,the disgust and the shame he was feeling in the way he said my name. I didnt feel anything.
"Dont" i replied flatly, coldly, as i heard him take another step towards me. He froze.
I moved at the same time Alice whispered "Your leaving". Not a question but a statement, it nearly made me break hearing her sound so defeated. Esme began to sob louder.
I was going to feel soon and i needed to be away from here, i needed to leave. I crossed the room and was half way to the door when the only thing that could stop me screamed,
"MOMMA"
I turned round in time to see Rose reach out to try and restrain her, a snarl built up in my throat but died when Renessmee screamed "LET GO OF ME!" at her with so much hatred i knew it would scare me later. Rose collapsed into the sofa her face mangled in shock and then agony. I looked at everyone then.
Carlisle looked as if he'd lived years in torture, Esme relfected him with choking sobs as he held her to him both watching Renesmee hiccup and walk over to me slowly. Emmetts eyes were closed, he looked defeated but accepting, it was so out of character for him. Alice was watching me with her eyes like the grave, Jaspers were pleading. Edward, my literly heart breaking angel, looked as if he were being burned alive and i felt somthing stab into my heart, and it further. He was shaking, a man on the edge of despair. I had to say something, id rather die than watch him look like this,despite everything he had and could do, i wouldnt let him hurt like this. Know that i was causing this, id caused my whole family to look like this. Because i couldnt protect our daughter when she needed me.
"I'll be back in the morning" i said as comfortingly as i could, my voice sounded dead. Something tugged on my blue shirt, Edwards favourte on me, i looked down into hurting brown eyes.
"Take me with you" Renesmee pleaded. I couldnt deny her but i couldnt take her if she were in danger.
I crouched down to her level and took her face in my hands. She placed one on mine quickly, a picture of me and her together flashed across my eyes and then of me her and Edward. I pulled her hand away and held it, one hand still on her face.
"You have to stay with Carlisle" i whispered, i could see the protest about to scream at me but i hurried on, "You have to rest, you need to be near Carlisle until your better"
The hand that wasnt holding mine wrapped around my wrist of the hand holding her face. Restraining me.
"But you said you'd be back in the morning" she hiccupped and then she wailed "I dont want to stay here"
And i couldnt argue with her, i didnt want to, i needed her with me.
I scooped her up against my chest. Someone let out a heartbroken wail, Rose hid her face in her hands.
