Edward`s POV

I found her sitting on the stairs, with a glass of punch in her hand. She stared at the liquid, without drinking. Slowly I made my way over to Bella, put a foot on the first wooden step and leaned down. "You okay?"

Her head jolted up to me, I had startled her. "Yes," she answered, as I lowered myself next to her on the stairs. She took a sip and looked at me. "Why did you do it?"

"What," I asked her grinning. Turning my attention to the crowd in our house, hoping nobody would damage anything.

The music was getting louder and Bella punched me with her elbow in my ribs. "You know very well what I mean Edward! Why did you attack Jacob?"

In my mind I rolled my eyes at the question. I knew that she would want to talk about it. I sighed deeply and prepared myself for an answer, as I smelled my mother behind me. I looked over my shoulder, as Esme was coming down the stairs. I stood up to let her pass and she smiled at me.

"Where's your father," she asked, scanning the living room for Carlisle.

I cleared my throat. "Outside."

Esme made her way through our guests and was suddenly gone. I sat down again, trying to think about something else. Bella was watching me and I turned my head to her again. She drank a little bit, and then put the cup down next to her on the stair that we were sitting on. "You still haven't answered my question, Edward," she softly spoke to me.

"He was thinking some … stuff, okay," I whispered to her and linked my hands together on my legs. I really did not want to say exactly what Jake was thinking back there and I hoped she did not want to know.

"What kind of stuff Edward?" She asked in an annoyed tone of voice.

Here we go … I groaned and covered my face with my hands. Please Bella, I do not want to repeat THAT ...

I heard nothing a few seconds, then my hands were grabbed and pulled away from my eyes. I froze as I looked into the very angry face of my mother. Her eyes were flashing with anger and I gulped as I pulled back. Esme leaned closer to me. "What happened to my garden and my flowers, Edward?" she enquired

She must have spoken with Carlisle and had seen the garden. I sighed and without thinking first, I gave her a very sarcastic answer. "Jacob fell in your flowers, Mum."

Her face changed and she gave me a very angry stare. Ow … Mum is not one to get angry very easily, but if she does, you better run. She jabbed a finger at me, still glaring. "If I were you, my son, I would be very careful now, about what you say! I will leave you to talk to Carlisle, but this better not happen again. Have I made myself clear, Edward?"

I bowed my head in shame. "Yes, Mum," I answered whispering. "I am sorry for making fun about it."

She turned and I heard footsteps on our floor. "And you will pay for my garden, Edward!"

A second later she was out of sight again and I was getting even more nervous.

Bella watched me. "Wait a second," she said and turned her full attention to me. "What did Esme mean by she will leave your to talk to Carlisle?"

I took her hand and rubbed it gently. "You know what she meant by that. Please don't make me say it out loud, my love."

Yes, I was begging. She raised an eyebrow questioningly and then I saw pure shock in her face, as she realized it by herself. I nodded sadly. "Yes, that's it what he will do, when the party is over."

She gulped and let it slide then. "Ehm, I am sorry for asking, Edward."

I pulled her closer to me, kissed her brown hair and watched the other party guests. Rosalie standing with other girls near the big table, where we had the food set out. My dear sister watched me and grinned devilishly.

"Someone is going to get his butt spanked by Daddy!"

The grin on her face grew wider and I let Bella's hand fall on her knee. Slowly I got up, ready to confront my sister, who was teasing me in her mind. As my foot took the last stair Alice placed a hand on the staircase to stop me. I pierced my blonde sister with angry eyes, before Alice caught my attention. "Please don't, Edward. Dad will not be pleased, if you make a scene. Look at him!"

I turned my eyes away from Alice and looked in the direction she pointed. My father had entered the living room a few minutes ago and was standing in the kitchen next to Esme now. He leaned against the black counter, arms crossed over his chest. His eyes were on me … my sister was right! The fight with Rose was not worth the consequences!

Time went by and almost all of the partygoers had left our home. Most of them had been picked up by their parents; some walked or drove with their own cars. Carlisle and Esme were standing in the doorway, shook hands, waved goodbye and grinned at our school mates. I heard the sound of cars driving off and door slamming outside. The music was turned off and party lights as well. Rose was in the kitchen cleaning up. Emmett and Jasper were searching the whole house for broken furniture and things that had to be replaced. I got rid of my black tie the moment, Dad had shoved the last girl out of our home. The door was closed and I chanced a very quick glance with my father, who made his way to the kitchen. Esme followed him.

I groaned at the thought of what is going to happen in a few minutes, at best if half an hour. I'm going to get my ass spanked for attacking one of our guests! Great! I bit back a growl, as Alice and my girlfriend were coming down the stairs. She fell into my arms and kissed me. We leaned closer and the kiss got deeper.

"I will leave you two alone now. See you later, Edward." Alice said smiling and I heard her move away and out to the garage. I'm guessing she wanted to pull the car out of the garage for her and the others. Yes, if any of my siblings was getting a whipping I wouldn't want to be here either. Jasper and Emmett were coming into the living room and went straight to the kitchen to report the damaged interior to our father. With Bella in my arms I listened to the conversation. Two lamps, one picture in the hallway and lots of glasses of course …

Suddenly I moved away from Bella and took her hand. "Come on," I said and pulled her softly with me in the direction of the kitchen. "I ask him, if I can bring you home ..."

"Okay."

I made my way through the living room, as my brothers came towards us. Both were grinning. Emmett stopped in front of me. "I really wouldn't want to be you right now, Eddy!"

My eyes narrowed and I growled deeply in my chest. Emmett did not flinch, but our vampire father cleared his throat in the kitchen as a warning. Emmett ducked his head. "Sorry, Dad!"

They strolled off to my sister's car as we entered the big kitchen. Dad sat on a chair behind the table, studying his service schedule for work. Mum and Rosalie were doing the dishes. He looked up and raised an eyebrow at me. "Yes?"

I sighed. "May I bring Bella home, please?"

He tapped the pencil on the paper in front of him – thinking. "Yes," he answered quiet and looked me in the eyes. "You are to be home in half an hour! Not one minute later. Because we have something to discuss, right?"

I bit my lip and bowed my head in shame. "Yes."

Bella embraced my mother first, then my father, who kissed her on the top of her head and waved to Rosalie, who was not even looking at her. We walked out to my silver Volvo and got in. As I sat down and felt the cotton of the seat on my bottom, I shivered. The whole way to Bella's place, I thought about the upcoming talk with my father, who I had showed the rebellious son, who had lost control ... again. I really wasn't looking forward to my return home.

A/N: Edward comes home in the next chapter and someone needs medical treatment :) See you guys!
