Please forgive!
Ha! Anyway I will try and update all my stories this week, but I can't promise anything!
Enjoy and Review!
IMPORTANT NOTE AT THE BOTTOM!
BPOV
After all of our tears were dried, we pulled apart and tried to put ourselves back together. My mother had to go back to the party and allowed for Rose and me to stay at the house while she makes up some excuse for us.
I was fine with that because I couldn't face my father at the moment. I was pissed at him for many, many reasons. For one, we didn't even know he got remarried. He didn't send us an invite or never called to tell us about her…not to mention, we now have a step brother and step sister. WTF? Do we not get to know about them? What are there names? Or, how old are they? We may never know.
Uh. And then that he hid all of the pictures of us behind his new family pictures. I wasn't really found of that idea. I mean, we are his blood children. We have half of him in us. Or, at least I have the half that actually shows through in my features. Rose is all my mother's half. Back to the point, he could have at least acknowledged us. It's like he wanted to kick us out of his life. I don't appreciate that.
I had gone over and pulled out a stool at the breakfast bar and watched Rose pace around the room with her head in her hands. She does that all the time when she is either, nervous, scared, pissed, upset…you get the point. I could faintly hear her muttering things into her hands but I was to worn out to understand.
"So…" I stated trying to get answers.
"So what?" She challenged sitting down beside me.
"What are we going to do when we see Charlie?" I asked playing with a stray orange that was on the counter.
"Oh, so now it's Charlie?" She raised her eyebrow and smirked.
"Yup" I popped the 'p' and continued to roll the orange around.
She sighed and let out a breath before continuing. "Well. We are apparently still stuck in this hell hole this summer, so we will have to see him almost everyday…and we can't be complete bitches-"
"And why not?" I said in disbelief. It was usually me who says that we can't be bitches.
"If you had let me finish my sentence you would understand. Now, hence the word 'complete'. We can be, but we can't be total bitches. I he is the person who is letting us stay in his house, and he is known to be quite a bit of a snitch." Se responded throwing her hair over her shoulder.
"Fine" I mumbled under my breath.
I guess that was the game plan for the summer. Or, only the part that involved Charlie.
It 10'oclock and know one had returned from the party, so Rose and I decided to call it a night and go to sleep. As we made our way to the stairs, my eye caught on a yellow sticky-note that was posted on the banister. I ripped it off and read the elegant writing on the piece of paper.
Girls,
I had a feeling that you might want to know where our rooms were.
At the top of the staircase, there are two rooms to the right.
They are yours. They have a connecting bathroom for you two to share, or just to see each other without leaving your room. (I do remember wanting to see my sister at night! ;)
I'm so glad to finally have you two with us!
-Sue
I finished reading it and tossed it to Rose her ended up ripping it to shreds before throwing it all over the ground. I'm guessing she didn't like the sister remark, or the sharing the same bathroom. She'll get over herself. We lugged our many suitcases up the stairs and to our rooms before locking the doors and turning off the lights.
I was so tired that I didn't take in my surroundings and went straight to go take a shower before Rose hogged all the hot water.
I turned on the hot water and turned to take in my appearance. The mirror was slowly turning foggy so it messed it up a little but I could see the whole picture. My face was paler than usual and my nose was still a little red at the point. My hair was messed from me running my hands through it; a habit which I rarely do; my eye make up was smudged and I had black tear stains imbedded n my cheeks. I looked horrible. And then to make matters worse, I could see a pimple starting to form on my chin.
Just my luck.
I stepped into the shower and moved at a snail pace. I slowly wet my hair and shampooed and conditioned, I lathered on Dove body wash and cleansed my face. After I finished washing, I just stood there with the scorching water running down from hair, to my shoulders and downward. How was I going to survive this summer?
I sighed and turned off the shower before sliding out. I changed into a tank top and shorts and barged into Rosalie's room. The moment I opened the connecting door, she flew past me and slammed the door behind me. Someone was anxious to be clean.
What to do what to do? Rose's room was similar to mine, except for the fact that her bed was pushed up against the left wall; mine was against the right wall. Her comforter was a royal red and had matching curtains. Mine consisted of pale blue and brown lining. I slid down the wall and was staring to get really bored. I know I could go downstairs and watch TV. But I didn't want to face everyone else yet, It would be weird to have them walking in on the girl that never showed up at the party, in your house watching TV. My eyes scanned the room looking for something to do when they landed on her laptop that was sitting on the floor closed, but on.
She didn't care if I went on her laptop so I dragged my body over the laptop and pulled it open. Facebook and iTunes was pulled up, so I decided to use those apps and also twitter. I filled in what I was doing and started to play calm peaceful music. My eyes were starting to shut and before I knew it, my cheek had planted itself on something hard and the room began to fade away into my dreamland.
EMPOV
The sound of a car door slamming arose me from my peaceful slumber and caused me to roll of the bed.
Damn you Jasper! I thought to myself. He still had school for another three weeks and I was out of collage for the summer, so my day consisted of, sleeping till noon, eating, cleaning myself by taking a shower, TV, Go watch Jasper and Edward play basketball, or pick them up from practice. I know that the basketball season is really late in the year, but Maycomb County High is just plain weird.
Any way, that little schedule is going to change majorly today. I am still going to eat, take a shower, watch TV, and go watch a basketball game, I just have to add in entertain Rosalie Swan and Isabella Swan. This will be good! If you asked me yesterday that I would ever see the Swan girls again and spend all summer with them, I would have burst out laughing and say something is mentally unsound in your head. But, here I am, about to do just that. Crazy, I know.
Last night after they crashed the party, this was amazing if I do say so myself, they left and never came back. At first, no one remembered who they were until I saw Renee enter the tent, and they called Charlie 'dad'. I was so shocked that I was speechless. (This is a very rare thing) (And since I am adding things mentally…I must say that Rosalie is HOT! Her hair had grown out and was to her mid-back, her legs were miles long, she was nicely tanned and her eyes were a killer. They were like Renee's only intensified. I will describe her more later…)
Back to my first train of thought, they just disappeared in a nice white M3 and never returned. I wonder whose car that is…if I do remember correctly, then I saw a brown headed girl open the driver's door, and if Rose is still the same Rose, if that was her car, it would only be her driving it. So, it must have been Bella's car and her driving. I didn't get a clear look at Bella since I was drawn to Rosalie, but I could tell she was easy on the eye. Very easy on the tender eye.
After Charlie was cleaned up after the cake incident, thanks to Bella…we will really get along…, and the entire table was reset, Renee and this guy named Phil sat down. Renee still kind of looked like she did a while ago...but she was happier now. She had more of a happy glow to her. I was happy to see her finally pleased with what life had in store for her. When she was in Alabama, she seemed miserable and always cried when she thought know one was watching. Only, everyone was watching. Everyone knew that Charlie was messed up and needed help, and that their marriage was going down the drain, but know one wanted them to split up and ruin Rosalie's and Bella's life. In the end though, it had to be done.
When Rose and Bella left, everyone was a wreck would be an understatement. Alice wasn't her usual perky crazy self; she just went through the rest of the year in the motions. Not really being there, just placing her body where it was needed to be. She was only nine, but she still took it personally that her best friends had left her with three boys to live with. She wouldn't have that one close friend where you can tell her anything and she will listen and keep it a secret. A friend that she could talk about crushes and girl…problems…and changing. I mean the three of us were always there for her, but we couldn't do it the same way that a girl could.
Edward and her parents seemed to be in pain every time she would sit in the back of the classroom by herself and not be talking with all the other girls. People just didn't usually get Alice as a person. Her personality and attitude is very rare and any one who has that kind of her person in their life should cherish that person, instead people seemed to shun her away. But, year after year, she began to snap out of it and actually try and make friends and talk to people. She is a very lovable girl, so now she has friends, but they aren't anywhere as close as the swan girls were.
She is one year behind Edward and Jasper and will be very lonely when the leave high school. I feel for her, I really do. Last night at the dinner, when she figured out who the two strangers were, she became even more herself and EVEN more hyper and happier if that is even possible. Before the dinner, she was the regular Alice that had finally returned, but after, she was even more herself and it made everyone take a double take on her.
She was dying to meet them again, but they never showed up, and she, Jasper and Edward had school the next morning so they had to leave. I could tell she was bummed but I told her to cheer up because if they wouldn't come to Alice by themselves, the Emmett would bring them to her. She didn't fully understand what I meant, but who ever does but myself? Not even my own brother does…my own flesh and blood.
Jasper and Edward were alright after they left, but not the same like Alice. No one really smiled anymore or wanted to do anything. Everyday seemed like a struggle and we were barely making it through it. In the end, we made it, and after two years of not having any communication from them, we gave up hoping, and continued on with life. We smiled again and I was cracking jokes again. Edward began taking piano lesson's again and Jasper would go back to watch the civil war re-enactments. We were back to normal, maybe not all the way, but close enough.
We dated, had girlfriends, and went to the movies, shopping (Alice), swimming, camps, and regular teenage lives. I always felt like something was missing and now, I felt like it had magically reappeared.
(I was going to stop there, but I know that I hadn't updated in a while, and it might be a while till I update again…so I decided to continue…)
EMPOV STILL
I jumped out of my red jeep and spotted the white M3 again. It was pulled into the driveway and had the top up. I might just have to take it for a little joy ride some time. I never had driven a BMW and I would love to have that experience. I ran my hand over the newly waxed coat and hoped to god that an alarm wouldn't go off. And to my surprise, it didn't. It's defiantly Bella's car. Bella would be the person that would leave it unlocked, unalarmed, and unprotected. That's the little Bella I know.
(Just to make it clear, Emmett does not LIKE BELLA IN THAT WAY! Brother Sister Way, or friend way. Gotcha?)
I made my way up to the front porch and knocked on the door.
No answer.
I knocked again.
No answer.
Once more…
NO answer.
I guess I will have to use the doorbell.
I ran the doorbell.
NO answer
This is really starting to annoy the crap out of me. Did Charlie not know I was coming today? I'm pretty sure that Sue, Renee and Charlie were the ones how planned our little outing today. Did they not tell the girls? I mean, I know that Renee and Phil left for Hawaii, and that Charlie and Sue had work…oh and Leah and Seth were at their dad's house. Oh! I get it. It's just Bella and Rosalie in the house. I'll try once more. The probably are used to ringing and knocking all the time back in the city.
I rang again.
NO FREAKING ANSWER!
Ok, THAT'S IT! I shoved my hand in my jean pocket and pulled out a toothpick. If I know Charlie, he still has the locks that were on the door almost 10 years ago. Rose and I figured out how to crack the lock with a toothpick awhile ago. Good times!
I stuck it in the lock and wiggled it around in the lock until I heard a quiet 'click' and I turned the handle.
SCORE FOR EMMETT!
I opened the door and snuck in quietly. No one except for the adults knew about me coming to surprise them by spending the day with them, so they would be clueless when they saw a random dude in their house. I wonder if they will recognize me or not? I mean I have changed a lot since I last saw them. They sure did change though.
The house was silent except for the dog Patty yapping around outside and the hum of the air conditioning. It looks like the city girls are tired. It's one in the afternoon and they are still sleeping. Tsk,tsk,tsk.
Hell, I would still be asleep if it weren't for my brother having to slam Edward's car door so damn loud! People are still sleeping at 8:15 in the morning. I wonder why he doesn't use his Ford Explorer in the mornings. Oh, yea…carpools…save money… that kind of shit.
I crept up the stairs and silently opened the first door that I knew wasn't Seth's or Leah's. It had a double bed pushed up against the right side of the wall and had a baby blue comforter with brown lining.
One other thing, it had suitcases in it, but the room was empty. Huh. That's kind of weird. They better be here or else my ass is going to get kicked. I was given strict rules and regulations that the three of us had to follow or else…
Some of the things that they weren't allowed to do were unheard of down here. No one is this little old town would never even dream of attempting stunts like these. Well, except for me. I will just have to ask Bella and Rose about everything they had done to earn such harsh rules. I shut the door to the empty room and continued down to the next door. I could hear someone faintly breathing and another person mumbling stuff in their sleep.
I guess they decided to sleep together? Not strange at all.
I creaked open the door and what I first saw; I had to stifle my laughter. Bella was lying on the floor with her cheek pressed against the laptop. There were headphones in her ears that were plugged into the computer and her mouth was slightly moving. She was conked out against the computer and I don't know how that could have been comfortable.
She looked very peaceful in her sleep; and cute. But not in an attractive way too me. To any other teenage guy; yes. To me though, that would be like telling a sister she was hot. Yea, not going there. I do hope that we can go back to the way things were. I miss those days like crap man. And those were the good crap days.
I then lifted my eyes to see blonde hair fanned out across the bottom of the bed and a book thrown to the side of her head.
The first thought that came to my head was; since when does Rosalie Swan ever read? If she used to pick up a book, it would be like asking her to hold fire. Impossible for her to do. I guess she has changed…
Her face was somber and relaxed and I had a sudden urge to reach out and push her hair out of her face.
Wait…back up there Emmett. This is Rosalie Swan who is the same girl who beat the shit out of a guy twice the size of her. She was also your best friend! What the hell are you thinking?
Snap out of it.
NOW!
I shook my head and tried to collect my thoughts back together. I looked away from Rosalie and back to Bella who had shifted around a little bit causing her tank top to rise up just above her hip. She was lying horizontally so that her hips were supporting her weight and I could now see a little something that was on her left hip.
A tattoo.
A TATTO!
SHE DID NOT!
Little Angel Bella got a tattoo? Since when was she a rebel? I am pretty damn sure that she didn't get permission from her parents since them both hate tattoos.
Haha! This means BLACKMAIL! She will get it if her parents find out… I wonder how she was able to get. Looks like I will just have find out now won't I?
If I want this blackmail thing to work, then I will need proof! I know. I will record her waking up with my camera on my cell phone.
HELL YES!
I tugged my phone out of my pocket and got ready to record her. Before I woke her from her peaceful slumber, I got a close up of her tattoo which was a ribbon swirled around the word 'LOVE'. I didn't know she was a hopeless romantic. Or something along the lines of that. It was actually a pretty cool tattoo that I would approve of. I think I might get a tattoo one day. I'll get Bella to come help me pick it out.
Back to my Blackmailing…
(Will try to get a pic of it on my profile)
I zoomed back out and prepared to wake the sleeping beauties with my booming voice. Here go's nothing.
"ISABELLA SWAN! IS THAT A TATTO?"
BPOV
I was very calm and peaceful in my deep and enchanting sleep when I heard someone screaming my name and something about a Tattoo.
A tattoo?
Wait. Tattoo, Isabella swan…man's voice...
DAD
TATTOO
SHIT!
I shot my head open so fast that I was dragged back down and my head whacked something hard.
What the hell just happened? I tried to sit up but there was something gently tugging on my head.
Oh. My headphones. I tore them off and pulled my head of the laptop which my head slammed against. I rubbed my temple, for it was beginning to throb in pain. In the background I could someone snickering in laughter and I was ready to kill that person. So, if that person was laughing, then it obviously wasn't my dad…then who was it?
I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was a cell phone right in my face. Why the hell is there a cell phone in my freaking face? It was shaking because the person who was holding it was laughing at my pain.
Asshole.
I glared up around the camera and caught sight of a dark haired man behind the phone. He was one of the people who was sitting at the end of the table after my table running experience.
His hair was a dark brown, almost black; it was slightly curly and short. His eyes were a glistening hazel mix of just green and brown; he also had dimples that were very pronounced when he laughed.
Dimples…dimples…dimples.
DIMPLES!
I only knew one person who had dimples and dark curly hair with those exact color eyes.
Emmett McCarthy.
That son of a bitch who I miss like there is no tomorrow. I am going to kill him when I get the chance, but with his muscles, I doubt that I could even get a kick in with it hurting him. I never took Emmett to be one of those muscle people. But, I guess people change, I hoping not his personality because it is like a well needed son on a rainy day.
"I see little angel Bella got a tattoo now!" He chuckled pointing to my reveled tattoo. No wonder he called out my name with my tattoo. I pulled my tank top back over the ink and crossed my arms over my hips pouting at him.
"Aw, come on. Is that the way your going to greet Emmett after 8 years?" He begged giving me the eyes. Those eyes were irresistible to my rage. I couldn't be mad at him when he throws in the eyes.
I tried to look away but my eyes kept wondering back to his which were still n the same position with the begging.
Damn.
"Fine! Hey Emmett…" I said
"Bella! Man, have you sprouted from a little munchkin to a nice little lady!" He smirked and stood up.
"Shut up!" I smirked and stood up myself. He was at least 6'4 and that was like 8 inches taller than me. I FEEL SO SHORT! "When did you get tall?" I wondered out loud and all I received was laughter and then I was lifted off the ground.
He was hugging me! Aw! I missed him to and Emmett wasn't that type of person that would really shoe emotion much…or be serious for that matter, but what the hell, I will enjoy is while I have it.
I started to hug him back and I heard him mumble stuff in my ear.
"I sure did miss you Bella."
I felt like I was going to cry! I didn't know leaving had an affect on people! I didn't think I was important to people. I never did, and with all the stuff that happened last night, I was pretty sure of it. But at the moment, being squeezed to death by an old friend reassured me that I did mean something.
"Ok, Emmett, I missed you to death also... but do you mind letting me breath for a moment?" I laughed and he relaxed his muscles from around my torso.
"Thank you!" He set me down and then looked at Rosalie who was still sprawled out across the end of the bed.
Time to wake Rosalie up.
Later that day…
BPOV
It was almost 3:00 in the afternoon and we had all taken showers, changed, eaten, and joked around. Now was time to crack down on the questions that I know that he had been dying to ask, and that we have been dying to ask. Like, how did everyone react when we left, when did Charlie met Sue…stuff like that. We had managed to avoid questions concerning…people I guess.
"Hey Em,-" I started but was cut off by him clearing his throat.
"Now Bella, before we start to bombard each other with questions, why don't we have a little fun, and then when we have everybody back together, we will get down to business with all the questions. It would save time and my sanity." He said with a straight face on.
"Um…OK?" I answered like it was a question.
"Good. Ok, I have strict guidelines though. Ready?" We nodded and listened to the rules our mother had given us out of experience.

Mom and Phil.
Oh. Those rules. We got those all the time. Looks like Emmett doesn't. I guess there will be a lot of explaining to do later.
I looked up and saw him begin eye the paper and then us. I looked at Rosalie underneath my eyelashes and saw her doing the same thing…we sure have had some good time in the city.
"Well, that leaves us with absolutely nothing to do!" He smirked in a sarcastic way. "Let's go, I have something planned for us to do. We'll take Bella's car."
We were all piled into my car and I was driving, of course, while Rose was in the passenger seat and Emmett was in the back seat leaning forward so he could talk to us. The top was down and wind was blowing freely through my hair and the car.
Emmett was a little annoyed because I wouldn't let him drive my car, and I wasn't about to give him my baby. No way in hell I would put him behind this wheel.
I wasn't entire sure where we were headed but he kept pointing at turns for me to take and he and Rosalie kept giving each other sly glances through the mirror and it was worrying me. Whenever they start giving the glances, it means something is about to happen, and put those two together, and it's like putting two evil masterminds together. Whenever we got in trouble, it was always because of Evil 1, and Evil 2.
I was interrupted from my thought when Emmett told me to turn right and keep going straight. I did what I was told and then I was down a familiar street that I haven't been down in 8 years. It was North School Street. This street contained all three schools. It had Maycomb county Elementary, Middle and High.
I wonder why we were down here? What business did we have here?
"STOP!" Emmett bellowed me which caused me to slam on my brakes and they made a screeching noise.
"EMMETT! You will be buying me new brakes if they don't work again." I scolded and was staking deep breath because it startled me.
He just laughed in my face and Rosalie joined in. Traitor!
"Ok, not that you have laughed all of today, why don't you tell me why we are here on the school street?" I asked starting to get annoyed. The could have destroyed my baby and I was mad at that.
"Bella, don't you remember?" He said looking at me like I was crazy.
"Remember what?" I pondered
"The tree… You know, a while ago, we all came down to the tree down by the high school and carved our names into the tree?"He explained
Nothing was coming to me at the moment so it must be something that my mind hasn't recovered yet.
"Oh! I know that tree!" Rose voiced and started to open the door. "Let's go check it out; it may jog your memory of it."
I nodded and slid out of my car and onto the sidewalk that was right in front of the high school. The bell had just rung, so the whole high school had bee released and it looked like they were all looking at my car, the three of us, and what ever we were doing to the tree.
I looked around and some of them looked oddly familiar but none that seemed to ring a bell. I glanced away from al the wondering eyes and back at the tree. Rose was right behind me and Emmett was still trying to squirm out of the backseat. Ha, watching him try to get out id very funny. Is body like gets stuck and he has to wiggle his way around to get clear of that section. But…he didn't have trouble getting in the backseat. Whatever, that's just Emmett for you.
I finally reached the tree and began to search for our names on the bark. My fingers ran over the rough service but I still couldn't find anything…I went around the back of the tree and there was nothing. What the hell? It must be a different tree or something.
I made my way out behind the tree and was going to tell Rose and Emmett that this was the wrong tree. But, to my surprised Rose and Emmett weren't on the other side of the tree.
They were in the car.
Emmett was in the driver's seat and Rosalie was in the passenger seat.
OH HELL NO!
He started to rev the engine he turned around and waved at me.
WAVED AT ME!
He revved it one last time before the car started to move forward.
There was no way that I would be letting him drive my car without a fight. So, before it could go too far, I did the last thing I could thing of.
I-
