Bella's POV
" There's your sister," Joseph said happily to me. He was extra spunky today, since we accepted the fact he was in love with a human. Well at least most of us did.
I looked over at Rosalie. She was standing next to the same Silver Volvo, with Emmett by her side. She had a furious look on her face, and Emmett was shaking his head slightly at her. Jasper was trying to hold back Alice, who was arguing with my sister. And Edward….well Edward was staring at me.
"Yeah," I replied to him. It took most of my willpower to force my eyes away from Edward's gaze.. His golden eyes mesmerized me every time I studied them.
"Let's go with your dearest Sis, there's something I need to ask her," Mark said. He grabbed my skateboard out my hand, and began to drag me over to them. Sarah and Luis followed silently, but Joseph showed reluctance to join us.
The two Cullen's stopped their argument and snapped their heads towards us. Jasper let go of Alice, probably sensing she was calmer.
"Hi Bella," Rosalie smiled.
"Hey Rose," I said chipper. "Sorry for um… intruding, whatever is that you were doing." I said. I wonder why they were arguing? "But Mark wants to ask you something," I said to her.
Rosalie's eyebrow rose, and looked at my brother. "What do you want?" She asked him bemused.
"Well, I want to know how you feel about exposing our secret," He smirked. I felt Joseph become rigid next to me.
"What do you mean?" Jasper asked, before Rosalie could say anything.
"Well my brother here-" He smacked Joseph on the arm somewhat roughly-" Wants to tell a human, that he thinks he is in love with, who we all are.," He said again, With the same smirk on his stupid pale face.
I let out a growl. "Mark! What the hell is your problem?" I shouted at him. How dare he! How can he screw up everything for Joseph this way? He is our brother damn it!
"I want to know what your Sister has to say Bella. It's only fair they know what Joe wants to do. It's exposing them. Exposing her," He said seriously.
"I love her Mark. And there is nothing you can do to stop me from revealing what I am to her," Joseph hissed.
"Mark, please," Sarah said shaking her head at him. "What has gotten into you? This is about Joseph, about us. This is notwe are, not about my sister and her family. about the Cullen's," She said. I nodded in agreement. This was about the King's, and who
"What? Am I the only one who thinks, he is making a huge mistake? No. That he is being an idiot and he is going to destroy everything we have achieved for the past two centuries for some dull human!" He yelled.
"Shut up!" Joseph hissed. In a flash, He launched himself at Mark. Joseph seized our brother by the throat ,before Mark had the chance to move, baring his teeth, ready to take a go at his own brother.
"Stop!" I yelled. Luis and I rushed to them and pulled them off each other. I pulled Joseph back. Holding onto him tightly while he struggled to break loose. I've never seen such hate in Mark's eyes.
"We are a family! And we will stick like one. You have no right to interfere with what your brother desires. If he fell for a human, then let him be! No one has a say in this Mark. Not you, not me, and not the Cullen's!" Luis yelled.
"Your actually going to let him, reveal our secret?" Rosalie asked acidly. Implying that Luis was an idiot.
"Im not his owner Rosalie, he can do what he chooses. I happen to support him. And so does your sister," He told her. Rosalie darted her eyes towards me, and for a second I felt intimidated like when we were younger, and human.
"Isabella?" She called me, in the same tone she used to do. Just to get me scared out of my dress.
"Yes?" I ask her. I tried to keep my legs from making a run for it.
"Why do you allow your brother to expose our real identities?" She asked me. She looked at Joseph evilly, and then my overprotective sister characteristic kicked in.
"It's love Rosalie.," I began, for a fraction of a second I allowed myself to look at Edward. And when my golden eyes met his, he gave me the courage to defend love. "His heart is hers. She owns him. And she feels the same way. It might not be logical, or normal., But most relationships aren't. Just because she is a human, and he is immortal doesn't mean they aren't allowed to love one another." I said.
"Besides, he already told her," Edward gave me a small smile.
"You what?" We all say in unison, looking at my brother. I let Joseph go, and I see Luis hardening his grip on Mark. Afraid that our brothers will expose us to everyone, and to kill each other in the process.
"I told her yesterday after our Talk," He said looking only at me. I looked at him. I analyzed his face, and there was a beseeching expression on his face. He looked like he wanted me to understand, just me. That he had to do it. The sooner the better.
"How did she take it?" I asked him, forcing not to smile.
"He expected her to run away, or to be frightened, but she wasn't," Edward said looking at my brother. Studying his mind.
"She said it explained a lot, and that-" He paused.
"She wants to be with him forever," Edward whispered. He turned and looked at me. "They want to spend all eternity together. He cant stand having her for some years, and she doesn't want to die without him," He continued.
"Well I guess we'll meet her at lunch," I said to my brother as the bell rang to start the school day.
"And you-" I turned to look at Mark. What is wrong with him? "-Behave yourself. Go to class," I ordered him.
"We'll talk later," He hissed at me.
I growled back at him. "Now," I said through my teeth.
"Let's go to class Bella," Edward grabbed my hand in his and he began to pull me to Building four. I felt like I could hear my heart beating to an extreme, that the small hiss that my sister gave was sounded out.
--
"I don't know how you are related to her," Edward chuckled as he led me towards and empty classroom.
"Tell me why did I agree to ditch with you?" I asked him, as I sat on a old chair.
"Because, I wanted to talk to you," He said smoothly. God! His voice can get any vampire sweating.
"About?" I asked him nervously. I didn't know what to expect.
"About us," He said, I sensed some uneasiness from his voice.
"Us?" I tried not to smile. I liked how 'us' sounded. Just Perfect.
"Yeah," He said looking at his lap.
"Bella, have you ever been in love?" He asked me. His question didn't take me by surprise.
"No, I've never found the right person," I said. "Eventually every couple of decades, I think I might finally settle down, but my relationships never end up happening,."
"Why is that?" He asked.
"Something always comes in the way. My family tends not to approve," I added.
"Mark is in love with you," He said.
"Im his sister," I laughed. Mark doesn't love me.
"You might see him as a sibling, but he sees you very differently." He said.
"How would you know?" I asked annoyed.
"Mind reader," He said irritated too.
"Didn't Esme teach you some manners?" I said to him. "It's not polite to ease drop in other peoples heads," I rolled my eyes.
"It's hard not to hear someone's mind when they show exactly what you want" He said angrily.
"And what exactly do you want?" I yell.
"You," He said hastily.
We stopped. Our eyes locked amongst each others. There was no moving. We sat there perfectly still.. I go over what he just said. What if I misunderstood? What if he made a mistake? What if he really doesn't want me? "What if-
A pair of lushes lips interrupted, me from destroying my self-esteem any further. Edward began kissing me softly. For a moment I didn't know what to do. The electricity that was running through my frozen body, began tugging at my heart, at every organ. It was almost a sense of living again. The electricity desperately wanted my heart to begin beating, beating only for him. I wanted to scream out. But before I could ruin the moment by thinking about what was going on, I began to sync my lips with his. I could taste him on the tip of my tongue, and I wanted his sweet scent, almost like lilac, to invade all of me. I brushed my fingers into his messy, silky bronzed hair. And he held on tighter to my waist, gripping me tightly to him.
"Rosalie no!" I heard a bell-like voice.
Edward and I pulled away from each other. Our heads turned to the door, and at the doorway there was a very furious blonde, with a guilty looking pixie.
"What the hell?" Rosalie asked. She pushed Alice inside the room and closed the door. "Ditching for a make-out break?" She asked me.
"Rosalie I think we should leave them-"
"I don't care what you think Alice," My sister interrupted the pixie vampire "What's going on Edward?" She took me off the spotlight, and began hissing at Edward. Poor guy.
"Nothing," He said simply. Nothing? Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?
"You better go to class," She ordered. I nodded. I grabbed my blue and purple skateboard off the floor. "Not you," She said.
"Oh," I huffed, dropping my board back on the floor.
"Leave Edward. And take the fortune-teller with you," She said angrily.
In a flash, Alice grabbed Edward by the arm, and dragged him out the door. Letting the door shut roughly behind them. I momentarily have the courage to look up at Rosalie. Huge Mistake! If it wasn't because she was a vampire, she would have been tomato red from the anger. She looked ready to kill, or worse, discipline.
"Rose," I tried saying her name as angelic as I could. Why was I so scared?
"No Bella. " She said coldly. "I don't want you to set your heart out for Edward," She said.
"Why?" I asked her. "It's too late anyway," I added.
"You don't know him Bella," She sighed. "Edward is my brother, and even though I hate to admit it, I love him. He is a great man, very stubborn, and never listens to what I say, and always tries to go against anything I ask, stupid-"
Rosalie," I groaned. "Get to the point," I rolled my eyes at her.
"He is not for you Bella. Stay away from him. He will only cause you pain," She said.
"I cant promise you that," I said honestly. "Im in love with him," I felt the overwhelming tug at my heart. I love him.
"How do you know he loves you?" She asked.
"I-" How do I know?
"Go to Lunch Bella. You have to meet that human," She said before storming out the class room.
After my sister walked away from me, I grabbed my things and slowly made my way to the cafeteria. Argh, I should have just gone to music class with Emmett. At least with him, Rosalie wouldn't have had the need to try and stomp the love for Edward right out my heart.
As I entered, I saw the Cullen's already seated in their table. The table on the far right corner, next to the exist doors. They were all looking in opposite directions, not paying attention to each other, but I could tell they are talking animatedly. And from afar I could still see Rosalie's furious expression. I could also Tell Emmett wants to make a run for it, and Alice wants to tag along. Poor Jasper, he looks confused between all the emotions going on around hi.
"Hey," I said casually to Mark as I approach my table.
"Hi," He sighed.
"What's going on with you Mark?" I asked him.
"I have to apologize," He whispers.
"About?" I asked him, but I knew why he was apologizing for.
"About Joseph and the girl," He paused. "I guess I was just jealous," He admitted.
"Jealous of what?" I continued.
"That he found someone who loves him," He said looking deep into my eyes. Oh no. Edward was right. How do you reject your brother?
"Love will eventually find you Mark. You wont have the need to be jealous for it, or dream it either, once the right person comes along," I said to him. Almost the same way Rosalie said it to me all those years ago. There is someone meant for you out there. You just have to be patient.
"What if, that person is close to you, but you don't know how to…approach them?" He asked. I suddenly felt the urge to walk away.
"Um," I don't know how to respond.
"Hey Guys," Saved by the King! I turned around to face Joseph, giving him a great smile for saving me from an awkward "I love you," scene.
"Hey Joe!" I said happily.
"Bella," Joseph began to talk, but his eyes drifted to his brother. "Mark," He sighed. Aw, Joseph has a good heart. "I want you to meet Emma Davis," He pulled the human girl from behind him. She stopped in front of us. She looked nervous.
"Hey, Im Bella," I smiled, extending my hand to her.
"Hi," She smiles, and she shook my hand.
"Hi, Im Mark," My brother said politely, and Joseph looked surprised.
"Hi!" She said letting out a sigh of relief.
"You were nervous because of Mark? Or because you know what we are?" I asked her, as she and Joseph took a seat facing me.
"Well it's nerve racking when you meet your boyfriends family," She laughed lightly. Humph, she wasn't scared. She acted natural, almost comfortable, being around us.
"Well Welcome to the King's," I responded giving her a smile.
"Thank you," She said honestly. She took Josephs' hand into hers.
"Where's Luis and Sarah?" I asked my brothers.
"Hunting," Mark replied simply.
"Your about to meet the others," Joseph replied. I looked to the direction where the Cullen's sat, and saw Alice and Emmett approaching our table.
"Hey Grizzly!" I cheered to my brother-in-law.
"Hey Bells," He smiled back.
"Bella," Alice began. "We're going to ditch right after lunch, want to tag along?" She asked me.
"I don't know…" What if Rosalie was still mad?
"Come on! We'll play Guitar Hero! I need someone else to play! Jasper is bitching out!" Emmett complained.
"Cullen's meet Emma," I side-track them, introducing them to my brothers girlfriend, or mate.
"Hi! Im Alice!," The pixie introduces herself.
"Hi Im Emmett, Now Bella come!" He said. Damn, Edward said Emmett was easily distracted.
"Fine. King's want to come?" I asked my family.
:I cant. I'll see you guys later," Mark said hastily and walked away form us.
"Come on Emma! You know you want to come and play video games with an immmooortaaal" Emmett taunted her.
"Okay," She giggled.
Before I got up, I noticed Alice's face went blank. She stood there, zoned out form the world. Did she faint?
"Emmett," I whispered nervously pointing at Alice.
"Vision," He whispered back.
"Cool," Emma murmured.
"How long does-" Before I could finish asking my question, Alice's eyes flooded open, and she looked serious.
"Rosalie," She hissed. Her eyes darted back to her table.
"What happened?" Emmett and I asked together, warily.
"She's about to do something stupid," She said through her teeth.
