ESME POV
I couldn't believe my children. They have all ignored Bella because of Tanya. Everytime Bella comes to see me, I can see the pain in her eyes and it has multiplied a great deal since her mothers death. And the others didn't even know about it. They didn't even know about the funeral. Poor child, no wonder Bella is upset.
I nearly shouted at Edward the other day just because he had the nerve to ask me what was wrong. My best friend dies, his ex best friends mother dies and he says 'what's wrong'. Then Carlisle came before I could say anything and asked if I was upset because of Renee' death. At least I have Carlisle. Poor Bella has no one, Charlie doesn't even know how to handle himself never mind his own child.
I couldn't stand it anymore. After Edward disappeared, I turned to my husband.
"I think we should give them a piece of our minds and tell them about Bellas mother"
"Come one then, I agree, we have let them destroy Bella for too long"
We walked into the house and saw them all in watching a movie. Tanya was one of them. God, I couldn't stand the girl and I honestly don't know what Edward sees in her.
We both walked right in front of the television and they all groaned.
"SHUT UP!" Carlisle shouted, silencing them all.
"Now, we have let this go on too long and now we want answers, why have you been ignoring Bella?" I asked, through my tears,
"Erm.. because...um..." They all stuttered,
"Because I came" Tanya said in a 'duh' tone of voice that I wanted to just smack right out of her.
"THAT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH! HOW COULD YOU, ALL OF YOU, SHE NEEDS YOU, NOW MORE THAN EVER AND YOU LEAVE HER, YOU ALL KNEW ABOUT JAMES, YOU ALL KNOW HE RAPED HER, YOU KNOW THAT HE IS STILL OUT THERE AND YOU ARE DOING NOTHING TO HELP HER THROUGH THIS" I shouted,
"Rape?" Edward asked, his face going pale.
"Yes, she was raped by the guy in the club" Alice said,
"Wait, but what has that got to do with us?" Edward asked,
"You should be helping her. You were best friends and you are ignoring her, she needs you, she came over here everday to talk to us about her problems and she has so many more than before, we both could see the pain in her eyes when she saw you all or when we mentioned you, YOU HEARTLESS PEOPLE" Carlisle said, raising his voice at the end. I was grateful he was talking, I was crying so much harder now, because we were about to mention Renee. Bur Edward had to go and make it worse.
"I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE SHOUTING AT US, I RANG HER BEFORE ASKING HER TO COME OVER AND I ASKED TO PUT HER MOTHER ON AND SHE CRIED AND HUNG UP" Edward screamed,
"YOU MENTIONED HER MOTHER THAT WAS ENOUGH TO SET HER OFF CRYING, LOOK AT POOR ESME, WHY DO YOU THINK SHE HAS BEEN SO UPSET LATELY?"
"I don't know" They all said,
"HER BEST FRIEND DEID A WEEK AGO"
"But mom your best friend is...Renee" Jasper said, and I could't stand it any longer. I shouted.
"YES RENEE DIED AND ALL YOU COULD DO WAS IGNORE HER. YOU LET HER AT YOUR TABLE, DIDN'T YOU NOTICE HER CRYING, IN LESSONS, SHE SAID SHE WAS ALWAYS QUITE, THE WHOLE BLOODY TOWN SHOWED UP FOR HER FUNERAL AND YOU LOT WERE TOO GOD DAMN BUSY WITH YOUR OWN LIVES TO BE THERE OR EVEN CARE"
I was happy to see the looks on all their faces. Shocked, upset, regret. I knew they felt sorry for Bella and so they should be. I was just about to add more, when Carlisle put a hand on my shoulder. He told me to read the message on my phone. I pulled it out and noticed it was from Bella.
im sory i am doing this but they all hate me, and i dnt no y, they dnt even no my mther is dead, chrlie is depressd tht he doesnt ntice me anymor, so i can thnk of only 1 solution, suicide, i so sorry bout this bt i av 2. and 1 thing can u tell thm can thy evr find it in their hearts to forgive me 4 wtevr i av dne. your r the best ppl i av evr knwn, u r my 2nd set of parnts...i lve u.. and good bye..xxxxx
"NOOOOO, NO PLEASE NO BELLA"
I rang her phone, praying she would answer and luckily she did. I quickly put it on speaker phone for us all to hear.
"Bella, please don't do this" I begged, crying,
"I'm so sorry Esme, I truly am, I'm guessing you put me on speaker phone so I'll say it all now. Edward I'm in love with you. Alice, Rose, you were the sisters I never had, Em, Jazz, you were the brothers I never had, Carlisle and Esme, I love you you are the second set of parents and I will always remember you. But I can't go on any longer. I have to do this. The reason why is simple, because of them. They all ignored me as soon as Tanya came and that was after I told them about the rape. They said they would help, but as the days wore on, I dobuted them. I didn't believe them. To be honest I don't even know if they were even aware I was on the same table at lunch. And my mothers death was the final straw. I can't handle it, so I say these final words, I love you and goodbye" And with that she hung up.
Me and Carlisle ran to the car, the others following behind as we all got in Emmett's jeep which was big enough to fit all of us in.
"THIS IS YOUR FAULT, IF SHE GOES AHEAD WITH THIS I WILL BLAME YOU, I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU ALL" Carlisle screamed as we drove to Bella'.
"What she going to do?" Jasper asked, his face still pale,
It only took 2 words. Too words to make Emmett drive faster and fill the car with complete silence.
"Committ suicide"
