It is weird being home. I was so used to being in Forks with my sister. I missed her already. And I could kick my own ass for leaving her with that monster. But of course optimistic Bella think everything will be ok. I wish more than anything she would have come back with us. Us?
I turn my head to look at Emmett. We are sitting on my beige plush couch with Jasmine on his lap and her head on his chest. Emmett put on Finding Nemo for Jasmine. That is her favorite movie. I smiled and put my hand to my lips. How did he fuse into my life so easily? We haven't been dating long and now he is practically living here. I don't mind it. It's just that he just feels like he's been in my life forever.
I put my hand into his curly dark brown hair and started to run my fingers thru it. He turned to look at me and smile.
"You ok?" He scrunched his eyebrows.
"Yeah just thinking."
I lean towards him and kiss his lips. Jasmine whines and pushes me back.
"Excuse me little girl."
"Mine. Emlet."
She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a wet kiss. I laughed and leaned closer and kissed his cheek. Jasmine started getting annoyed. She whines and pushed me back again. This made Emmett and I laugh harder.
"I could never stop ladies for fighting over me." I hit his shoulder.
"I'm going to make some popcorn."
Emmett winked at me and I went into the kitchen. I put the popcorn in the microwave and leaned on the door frame and watched Emmett making Jasmine laugh. They really loved each other. Emmett treats her well and that's what important to me.
My thoughts were interrupted by my cell phone vibrating. I reached in my pocket and pulled it out. Checking the name I smile.
"I was going to call you after the movie."
"We need to talk." The voice said cold.
"Edward? What's going on?" I walked into the living room and mouthed to Emmett that it was Edward calling me. He shrugged his shoulder and continued to make Jas laugh.
"Bella and your mom got into a fight today."
I stopped pacing and closed my eyes. I knew I should have tied her ass up and threw her in the car.
"Is she ok?"
Edward went on to tell me how my sister was doing. I could kill that woman. I am so tired of her hurting my little sister. I have to go and get her. I shouldn't have left her. Damn her.
After Edward was done I hung up with him and went into the living room.
"What's wrong?"
Emmett sees something on my face.
"My loving mother hit Bella again."
Emmett got off the couch and put Jas on the floor. She walked over to the TV talking to Dora. He walked to me and wrapped his strong arms while I cried.
"We are taking my car. Go pack something for us to wear. We are going to stay at my parents. I have some clothes here so I don't have to go to my apartment. And I will call my parents while I get Jas ready to go."
I lifted my eyes to his.
"When did you become a take charge kind of guy?"
"Since the woman I love sheds tears."
He wiped my tears with his finger and kisses me lightly on the lips. He smacked my ass for me to move and I went into the room to pack while he took car of everything else.
We reached my parent's house quick. Emmett is a very good driver but he drives very fast. I told him to stay in the car with Jas who was fast asleep. The Incredibles is playing on the TV for her to watch but it was watching her now. I stroked her hair and got out of the car.
I walked up to the house and opened the door. Everything was quiet. The only light on in the house was the kitchen so I closed the door and walked into the living room.
"Where have you been?"
The living room light came on. I have to cover my eyes from the bright light. It took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust only to find it is Renee standing there fuming.
"It's you. What are you doing here?"
"I heard what happened to Bella. How could you?"
Renee scoffed.
"That little slut deserved it. She's becoming a whore like you. I had to knock it out of her before it's too late."
I walked closer to her.
"I was never nor am I a whore. What happened to you?"
"Who do you think you are? I am still your mother."
"You are not my mother Renee. I buried my mother with my father."
I looked at her with such disgust. She stumbled back clutching her blue button down shirt together.
"How dare you."
I walked closer to her.
"How dare I what? You've been hitting my sister for years. Blaming her for something she had no control over. What about us? We needed you too. We needed our mother. I wonder how daddy would feel if he knew you became a spiteful bitch."
She raises her hand to hit me.
"If you do it I swear to god I will break that arm."
Renee lowered her hand and stared into my eyes.
"I never thought a woman would hate her children so much."
Renee laughed.
"Children. I have ungrateful whores."
She walks to the door and opens it for me to leave. I put a smile.
"I am leaving but so you know you are very sad woman. And you need help. You have a child who still hopes the best out of you for what I don't know. I learned a long time ago not to expect more than what you can give me which is shit. You have a grandchild that you don't want anything to do with. I am taking my sister out of forks and away from you."
I stepped through the door felling like a big weight was removed from my shoulders. I took a deep breath filling up my lungs. And she slammed the door behind me I shed a tear for the mother I have lost.

Something was tapping on my nose. I flicked it away but the tapping was still there. I slowly opened my eyes and jumped up. I groan from the pain that was caused from the quick movement. I held my side.
"What are you doing here?"
Hands reached out to inspect me.
"Oh God. I am so sorry Bells. I should have dragged you to the car with me."
I pulled my sister close to me and I smelled her hair and my eyes filled up. I blinked the tears away.
"Edward called you didn't he?"
"Maybe." She said and moved closer to me on the bed. Rosalie put me back on the bed and snuggled next to me with her arms around my waist.
"Where is doodle bug?" I asked and touched my lip that was pulsing. The Advil was wearing off.
"She's at the Cullen's with Emmett. Are you ok?"
I shrugged my shoulder and that hurt but I didn't want Rosalie to know. She looks worried enough.
"What else is new? You left and she just went crazy."
Rosalie winced like I just slapped her.
"What happened?"
I blew out a breath and told her what happened.
"I'm so sorry Bella." Rosalie said into my hair.
"It's ok." I said tapping her arm.
"No it isn't. But get some sleep anyway and we talk in the morning. Are you going to school?"
"No."
My eyes started to droop but I couldn't hear anything Rosalie said. I drifted off to sleep.
As I fell asleep I heard something tapping against the window. I opened my eyes and noticed it was morning. The sky was a grey and it looked like we were going to be blessed with another dreary day. I turned to see if Rosalie was still here and she was still asleep. I groaned while I was trying to get out of bed. I was tired of feeling like this. I hated getting hurt and in pain because my mother couldn't talk to me like her child. I was her enemy. I killed the man she loves. But I lost him too. I was there. I watched him die under my hands.
I got off the bed and the pain was hitting me all over my body. I stepped out of Angela's room and went into the kitchen where Mrs. Yorkie was drinking a cup of coffee and reading a book. She looked up smiled at me. Renee and Mrs. Yorkie have been best friends since they were in high school. So I always looked at Mrs. Yorkie as my second mother.
"How are you feeling dear?"
"In pain. Do you have any Advil?"
It seemed to do the trick.
"Yes in the medicine cabinet. I will have a cup of coffee waiting for you."
I thanked her and went into the bathroom to look for the relief that was sure to come. I found it and popped 2 in my mouth. I washed my face and brush my teeth and went back into the kitchen.
I sat at the table and took of sip of coffee.
"How did you sleep?"
"I slept good. Thanks for everything Mrs. Yorkie."
"Anytime dear. Your mother called her looking for you."
I stiffened. Thank God I didn't have taken another sip. I would have choked.
"And what did she say?"
Mrs. Yorkie got off the table and went to the sink to wash out her cup.
"She said that you guys had a fight and that you left the house. And she was worried about you."
I scoffed at that. Yeah I am sure she is worried about her punching bag.
"I am so sorry I didn't notice this Bells."
I didn't need this. Pity. I could see the pity in her eyes. Tears were building in my eyes.
"It's ok Mrs. Yorkie. She knew how to hide it really well."
"Oh honey. If there's anything you need I am here for you."
I went to her and hugged her.
"Thanks."
My phone started ringing. She sniffed and wiped her tears. I reached in my pink and white pj bottom pocket and pulled out my phone. I checked the number and didn't recognize it.
"Hello. Yes this is she. Who is this?'
I couldn't believe who was on the phone.
"Excuse me can you please repeat that."
"Sorry. Miss Swan my name is Jacob Black and I am calling from Sonic Elite Records. Have you heard of us?" A husky voice said on the other end of the line.
Is he serious? Anybody who listens to music today knows Sonic Elite Records.
"Of course I have heard of Sonic Elite Records." My voice was very high.
He chuckled.
"That's good. I heard good things about you Miss Swan. And I would love to meet with you."
They want to meet with me.
"I would like to meet you at the club Sonar you were singing at."
It sounded like he was looking at a piece of paper.
"Hello are you there?"
I stuttered.
"Y-yes. That would be great."
"Tomorrow then."
"T-tomorrow is fine."
We discussed the time we will meet and we hung up. What just happened? I squealed and Mrs. Yorkie looked at me and I ran into the room to wake up Rosalie.
"Rosie. Rosie wake up."
"What time is it?" She asked while looking at the clock with one eye open.
I told her the time and she sat up.
"I have to go to Jasmine."
"Rosalie I have something to tell you."
She looked at me and I was dancing in place.
"What happened?
I told her about the phone call. She jumped up and hugged me. I winced in pain but I didn't care. A major record label wants to see me.
"I am so proud of you Bells."
I covered my face with my hands.
"What am I going to wear? What am I going to sing for him?"
I dropped my hands.
"What am I going to do about my bruises?"
Rosalie frowned.
"We can use cover up for your cheek. I don't know about your lip. We will work it out. They want to meet with you. I am so excited for you."
She hugged me again. I have to tell Angela and Edward. I pulled back from my sister and opened my phone that was still in my hand.
Edward and Angela
Good news. Sonic Elite Records wants to meet with me tomorrow. Crapping in pants right now.
I hit send. Rosalie and I left to get ready to go over to Edward's house.
As we got there we can hear Jasmine laughing. We walked into the house and she ran to us. Rosalie scooped her up and bathed her face with kisses.
"Auntie." She reached out for me. I grabbed her and hugged her. I put her down and she ran to Emmett to finish the game she was playing. Rosalie and I just shook our heads and followed her. They were outside with Esme watching over them.
"There they are. Come have a seat." Esme said sitting up from her chair.
"Thanks for taking Jasmine for me Mrs. Cullen."
"Anytime." She said while waving her hand at Rosalie. "And I told you to call me Esme."
"Sorry Esme." Rosalie said blushing.
Esme moved her eyes to me.
"How are you feeling?"
I didn't notice that the Advil was working in dulling the pain.
"I am fine." I said with a smile.
"I am glad to hear that. Did you guys eat yet?"
Rosalie and I just shook our heads.
"I will fix you something to eat." She rose.
"We can help." Rosalie said and nudged me.
"Yes we can help Mrs. I mean esme."
I smiled when she eyed us and said fine.
We walked into their beautiful kitchen and Esme started pulling stuff she needed.
"I am glad you girls are here. I wanted to talk you."
Rosalie and I just looked at each other.
"Don't worry. I won't bite. You can relax."
We both chuckled but we were still nervous.
"I just wanted to say that I am happy that my boys found you two. Especially you Bella. You changed Edward so much."
I blushed.
"He seems so much happier with you. He finally found somebody he cares about. I was getting very worried about him."
"Me too." I said under my breath. I remember how Edward was in the beginning.
"His grades have gone up and he is excited to go to school. He won't say it but you can tell. He doesn't cut anymore and he does his homework and he aces his tests."
"He's very smart. I just helped him bring it out." I said while chopping tomatoes.
"It's more than that. He loves you."
"I love him too."
She smiled and hugged me.
"And you Rosalie. You bring my son home. He hasn't visited this much… Well I just don't remember how long it's been. But he's home. And he loves that little girl. I am so happy to see my children so happy."
She pulled Rosalie into a group hug and she just cried tears of joy.
We pulled apart and continued to cook lunch. I looked at the time and noticed that Edward would be home in a couple of hours and I was very excited.
The rest of the day went by in a blur. Edward came home and we just hung out with his mother. Dr. Cullen was in the hospital working and it was good to finally sit down and hang out with his mother. She was beautiful woman and she has a very big heart. It made me remember how my mom used to be. She was beautiful and fun to be around. She could be that way again. Maybe it was best that I stayed away from her. She could be happy again. I want her to be happy again.
Rosalie and I decided to spend the night at the Cullen's house and it didn't seem to bother Esme we were there. She seemed happy that we wanted to stay. She excused herself early and went to her room. Rosalie, Emmett and Jasmine went to Emmett's room to do their little family thing. I smiled at that. Edward grabbed a movie, chips and some soda and we were off to his room. He gave me a t-shirt and some sweats to put on.
"I love when you wear my clothes. Even though they are big on you they make you look even sexier."
I blushed and he kissed me. Edward put on the movie and we sat on his bed. I looked at Edward while he positioned the pillow behind his back to make himself more comfortable. Then I remembered I didn't ask him about Mrs. Sanchez.
"How did it go today with Mrs. Sanchez?"
He huffed and turned his face to me.
"It was nothing."
"What do you mean nothing? What happened?"
He folded his hands together.
"Well. She said that my grades have improved and that I have made up enough credits to graduate in a couple of month with you."
I smiled.
"I am so proud of you. What else did she say?"
"She just said that I have to maintain my GPA and I will be fine. And that it's not too late for me to sign up for college. I told her that I was thinking about applying for community college then go to a university when I get enough college credits."
"Wow." I said breathless. "You are really serious about this."
Edward touched my cheek.
"You are thinking about your future and I am thinking about making a future with you."
I kissed the palm of his hand.
"I am proud of you too. Tomorrow your life is going to change. And it's going to change for the better."
"Yeah I am nervous for tomorrow."
"Ahhh. It's a piece of cake. You will be fine. And this Jacob Black is going to be crazy if he doesn't sign you tomorrow."
A record contract. I couldn't believe it. Edward pulled me into his chest and we watched The Unusual Suspect. I loved this movie.
"Rosalie I am nervous."
"You will be great."
I hoped so. But I was so nervous. I feel like I am about to puke and pass out. Take it easy Isabella. Just take a deep breath. You will be great. You will blow him away with your awesome personality and beautiful voice.
I walked through the doors of Sonar and Rosalie squeezed my shoulders to let me know she's right there with me. I noticed that there were only 3 people in the club. As we walk closer to the table that was being occupied I spotted its occupants. There was a guy who was a rustic color skin with short black wavy hair. He was cute. The woman sitting with him is very pretty. Her face reminded me of Juliette Moore. She had the same hair color and features. The third guy was shorter than the other guy. He was balding but it looked like he once had nice blondish hair. And he had the clearest blue eyes I've ever seen.
"You must be Bella Swan?" The cute guys said. He stood up to shake my hand. Wow he's tall.
"Yes this is my sister Rosalie."
"Well welcome ladies. It is always good to be graced with beautiful woman." The older guy said.
"Please sit." Jacob Black said while he sat back down. "This is Rebecca White. She is my assistant. And this guy who is trying to flirt with your sister is Greg Monterro."
"Pleasure." Greg said taking Rosalie's hand and kissing it. She pulled back quickly.
"I have a boyfriend." She said and rolled her eyes. That made everybody laugh. They were kind of cool. So I relaxed a little.
"Jacob your flight is in 2 hours. Rebecca said while looking at her palm pilot.
"Right let's get down to business. I am a good friend of Jason Mraz and he told me about you. He told me that your voice is amazing. So I had to come down to see for myself."
I blushed.
"Yeah she was amazing that night. She sang two songs and a song with Jason. She blew the crowd away." Greg said without turning his head away from staring at Rosalie.
"What kind of music do you like?" He asked me
"Any song that is good to me. I listen to anything from Indian music to rock. If it calls to me I love it. I blame my dad."
I looked at Rosalie who was smiling
"Can you sing something for me? Jacob said while running his finger through his short hair.
"Sure." I said getting out of my chair. I walked to the stage that had a piano and sat on it.
"Should I sing anything?"
"Sing a song that comes to your mind." Jacob said back to me. He reached for his glass and took a sip.
Ok I mumbled under my breath. I rolled my shoulder to calm myself down and I put my fingers on the cool keys and began to play. I started to play Gravity by Sara Bareilles. I closed my eyes and let the song swirl around me. I sang the song with all of my whole heart. I felt the song flow out of my mouth and my fingers like the song was written for me to sing. As I played the last note I opened my eyes and smiled at them
"Not bad." Jacob said. I looked in his face to see what kind of emotion he was having but his face was hard for me to read. He motioned his head to me and his Assistant reached in her bag. She pulled a card and wrote something on it and handed it to me. And it was an address.
"That is the address to our office. I will be in New York till Friday so Monday come by the office so we can discuss your future with Sonic Elite Records. You have any amazing voice and I would love to market that voice and you will become a big star. How do you feel about that?"
What? Me a star?
"I uhh I uhh I uhh."
Rosalie put her hand on my arm
"What my speechless sister is trying to say is that she is happy about it. And she will be there."
"Great. Miss White will call you on Sunday to confirm everything."
"Thank you Mr. Black."
"Please call me Jacob." He said taking my hand to shake again. But I just hugged him. That kind of shocked him.
"Thank you so much."
Rosalie and I walked away but not before I heard Jacob say that he has a future double platinum artist in his mists. I was very excited to hear that.
