Chapter 3: Family Feud
Notes: I had some trouble deciding whose POV to write from but Edward seemed the best since everyone else's thoughts would be bombarding him. Esme was another thought, but we'll see her later. Please review, we appreciate the feedback!
Edwards POV:
I was dreading going home. I could not prepare myself enough for the rage my family would be in or the disappointed look I knew Esme would give me.
I slowly turned into our drive and was bombarded at once by the thoughts of my family. I had been tuning them out but I knew I'd have to face them eventually.
I wasn't even out of my car but I knew they would all be in the living room, silently assaulting my mind with their thoughts and not even looking at each other.
I knew it! I just knew he'd have to show off to the stupid little human and get himself in trouble and now the whole town is going to talk about it. I cannot believe him. All he worries about is that girl.
Rosalie couldn't have been even more self-centered even if she tried. I realize what I have done and am ashamed of it but she never seems to cut me some slack.
You've done it this time buddy. I can't believe this. You know, Rose is going to have field day taking your car apart and putting in the worst engine ever- haha sucks for you!
Of course, Emmett is only thinking about Rosalie and how it's affecting him. What he was thinking is true though- she is going to have a field day and no one is going to try and stop her.
You know Edward; I never even saw that coming until you were already pulling over! You do realize how furious Carlisle is though don't you?
At least Alice was being partially normal for the moment.
I hadn't even noticed, but when I walked in Carlisle was nowhere to be found. I assumed he was up in his study because the only thoughts I got from him were of operating on a patient that had a kidney stone. Not the most pleasant experience.
On the other hand, I was dreading looking at Esme. She has always been there for me, my mother and confidant.
I know you probably don't want to hear this Edward, but please honey, why did you have to do that? I know you were with Bella but just please be careful next time? I know you didn't mean to.
She always understands and I love her for it.
I could feel Jasper trying to control the tempers that would be flying momentarily and he was doing a good job, it was very subtle.
I hope you appreciate this because as soon as I stop calming everyone you are dead meat. And even I would like to say some stuff to you that would not be too great for anyone to hear. I'm just warning you but I'm sure you've already heard everyone else. Just explain yourself as best you can and I'll try to keep everyone from attacking you, including myself.
Well, it looked as if my family already had a plan in for my death, if they could kill me.
"You idiot! Self absorbed--"
"Stop it!" Carlisle cut Rosalie off.
"Now, I know you got a speeding ticket. But 120mph?! That is completely unreasonable."
Suddenly, Alice sees Bella driving Edward to Port Angeles with Alice in the back seat planning a great shopping trip.
"Great idea Carlisle!" Alice had a sudden outburst, "Oops! Sorry! Um, go ahead with how you were going to punish Edward."
"Is not!" I retorted.
"Anyways…as Alice has already revealed to you, I will be taking away your driving privileges for a month. That includes even driving Bella's car. Maybe you can learn from her about to drive safely because apparently she dislikes how you drive as well."
"This is completely unfair! You know I would never do this again!" Edward was outraged; he turned to Emmett, "That is not funny Emmett! Not funny at all!"
"Yes it is! Oh my gosh, Bella driving you!" He was practically rolling on the floor with laughter.
"Oh Edward," Alice started, "Bella is going to have so much fun with this! You're going to have a great time."
"Alice, that is not funny. Not funny at all."
I guess I was going to have to call Bella.
