Chapter Five
- Repercussions -
Edward.
My shoulder throbs painfully as the officer leads me away from my temporary cell and me down the corridor towards the front desk. I hear Esme before I see her.
"You shot my son!!" I flinch at the painfully loud volume of her voice.
"Darling, stay calm. Edward is fine, it's nothing more than a flesh wound"
Me and the officer turn the corner as Esme yells at Carlisle
"'Nothing more than a flesh wound'? That bastard shot our son!" She points over at Bella's dad who is glaring across the room at me.
"Edward!" She shouts when she spots me. She runs over and to my surprise pulls me into a hug. I thought she was going to kill me! I hadn't thought that she'd hug me!
She pulls away and whacks my uninjured shoulder, then the side of my head. Now this is more the reaction i was expecting!
"You stupid idiot! You got yourself shot!" She yells at me as shes hit me.
Carlisle takes her hand and pulls her away from me before she gets to carried away and actually hurts me.
"Let's get you home, son." Carlisle says a look of disappoint on his face. Oh god! disappointment is always worse than anger! I'd rather he was yelling at me than looking at me like that. He moves over to the front desk, towards Bella's seething father, and picks up the clear plastic bag that contains the few things I had in my pockets. As we go to leave Charlie says from behind us
"Remember our agreement."
I turn around and see Carlisle nod once in response.
"What agreement?" I ask once we're a safe distance from the station. Carlisle doesn't answer me straight away but after a few seconds he sighs and says
"I'll explain later" and opens the side door of Esme's Bentley for me giving me a stern look as he did so. I took his not so subtle hint and got inside. The car remained silent as we drove. I hate to admit it but i felt terrified about what they were going to say when we got home. I had slept with an under aged girl and had been caught by her cop father. It didn't matter to Charlie that I was also, by law, classed underage. I was older therefore he wanted me to go down for what we'd done. But he would only have a case against me if Bella said she wanted to prosecute me which she wouldn't. We loved each other and it had been her idea, not that i was complaining, this morning had been the single greatest experience of my life so far. Well apart from the bit where i got shot, it would have been better if that hadn't happened. Carlisle pulls up outside the house and we all go inside. The moment the front door closes behind us Esme practically growls at me.
"Kitchen."
Feeling like a lamb heading off to slaughter I follow my parents into the kitchen.
Jasper.
"You can't do that! You can't stop me!" Edward's voice yells from downstairs. Me and Emmett both freeze at the sound. We share a look before running from the upstairs games room and out into the hallway. We're both leaning over the railings to hear better when Rose and Alice join us.
"Edward we had no choice! It was stop seeing her or go to prison!" Esme shouts back. I turn to glare at my brother and his girlfriend as they start laughing again.
"You think this is funny? You've ruined his fucking life!" They stop laughing, Emmett looks down at the ground and Rose glares at me.
"I'm sure he'll find someone else to fuck!"
Before I can say anything to her. We hear a loud bang and then Carlisle yell
"Edward calm down!" What the hell had he just done?!
"Fuck you!" Edward shouts back and we all freeze in shock. Edward doesn't swear! In fact I don't think I've ever heard him swear before.
"Edward!" Esme screams as we all watch him storm out the kitchen slamming the door after him. He heads for the stairs and Emmett curses
"Crap!" and we all run back into my room, the closest room to where we currently are.
I manage to close the door enough so that we can all see Edward, face like thunder, storm pass the door but he can't see us. We hear his bedroom door bang shut and in response to it I say to nobody in particular.
"Someone needs to talk to him"
Emmett sighs and says in a quiet voice
"I'll go"
Even though I'm surprised I nod to him and he walks out the room not once looking back.
Bella.
It's Monday morning, It's time for school but I just can't make myself move. Dad had come home and had told me that I was not to see Edward again. I'd argued against obvious, we went to school together and he couldn't stop us seeing each other there. Dad had said then that if he caught us again, he would make sure Edward went down for a long time. I'd come upstairs after that and I hadn't moved from my bed since. There's a knock at my door but I ignore it.
"Bella?" mum calls as the door creaks open gradually. Sam, my cat who has sat patiently beside me since I locked myself in here, lifts his head and utters a soft meow at the sudden noise.
I make no movement or sound to show I heard her. She sighs and pushes open the door fully
"Bella, you have school."
I say nothing again and after a minute or so she says
"Bella I know you can hear me. You have to go to school! I'm sorry, I know your upset but you don't have a choice. If your not up in ten minutes I'll get the wet flannel!" She threatens before dumping my washed uniform onto my bed and leaving.
The second the door closes I pull back my covers and climb out of my bed. I throw on my uniform and hack through my hair with my hairbrush. Against my better judgment I glance at my reflexion in the mirror and grimace at the person who stares back at me. She has huge dark bags under her eyes, her hair is very obviously unwashed and tears tracks stain her cheeks. I don't want that girl to be me but she is. I go into my bathroom and scrub my face hoping it will help. It does but not much and after deciding its hopeless I pick up Sam and leave my bedroom. I feed Sam when I get downstairs. I ignore mum as she offers me toast and I grab my keys and phone before I leave the house a good hour early.
I have to wait for Angela to get ready but she doesn't take long and soon I'm driving along the main road thinking that I really can't face school right now. I make a decision in my head and I pull over the car and Angela shots me a quizzical look as I pull up on the side of the road.
"Bella what are you doing?" She asks as I turn the key and take it out of the ignition.
"I can't go. I can't do it." I say shaking my head and beginning to cry. Angela unbuckles her seat belt and maneuvers awkwardly in the front seat to hug me.
"It's alright. It'll be ok"
I shake my head and cry into her shoulder. I pull away from her and with tears streaming down my face I hand her my keys and climb out of my car. I walk slowly around the front and lean down by her window.
"I'm fine, just go"
She looks like shes going to argue so I quickly say
"Just go" and I turn around and walk away.
I hear the rev of the engine before she pulls away. I'm at the little beach that me, Alice and Rose used to go to almost every weekend. I don't care that I could get in trouble for skipping school, I normally would, but today I just don't give a crap! There's a couple of huge rocks that we all used to climb on when we were kids just down the beach from where I'm standing now. I sit beside them so that passing cars wont see me. I lean back against the cold stone and cry for hours. My phone beeps to tell my there's a new message. I pull it out of my pocket and smile, its from Edward.
Where are you? I'm worried.
Need to see you.
I love you!
E
I quickly text back.
At the beach near us. Couldn't face school.
Sorry.
Love you too!
B xxx
Its only mere seconds before my phone beeps again.
I'm coming to meet you now.
E
I don't answer his message because I know that I wont be able to tell him to stay away even though part of me wants him to since I know my dad isn't joking about getting him sent down but another stronger part of me craves him so badly that it doesn't care. It's another half an hour before my phone buzzes loudly, he's ringing me. I click the green phone and his beautiful voice fills my ear.
"Where are you? I can't see you"
I don't say anything I just stand up, coming out of my hiding place that clearly worked if he couldn't find me. The moment I see him my jaw drops and not because he's gorgeous like normal, his face is covered in blood. What the hell did I miss at school today?!
Rose.
It's lunch time and in the cafeteria eating my salad as Emmett devours a cheeseburger and fries, I laugh as he gets some ketchup on his chin. I giggle and wipe it of with a napkin.
"Cheers!" He smiles. He offers me a fry but I shake my head. I'm waiting until tonight for my calorific meal. We're going on a date and Em's probably taking me to McDonalds as we haven't been there since our first date. I've had to work to keep my figure but I can go wild once in a while.
"I can't wait for this weekend, and it's only Monday!" I exclaim. Emmett looks confused until I glare at him. I raise my hand but he puts his hands up to stop me.
"Whoa! I was kidding I know it's your sixteenth Rose! I'm not that stupid." He nods his head in triumph before going back to trying to open a ketchup sachet. He struggles for a while before I rip it from his hand and open it in one movement from the dotted lines.
"Cheers." He repeats grinning. I place a sweet kiss on his gorgeous lips and it turned to tongues.
"You bitch!" I hear a voice I recognise shout loudly from directly behind me. I turn and glare at the person that has dared to interrupt mine and Emmett's mini make out session. I look behind me to see Edward. I stand up and hiss.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" The whole room goes silent. I look down and notice the bottom of his bandage peaking out from under his sleeves.
"Nice war wound." I smirk rocking back on my heels silently daring him to come up with a smart ass comment.
"Only because you called Charlie and got me shot!" He shouts. I momentarily freeze and my blood runs cold. How does he know? Oh god! I swear I'm going to kill the person that blabbed!
" Well if you hadn't been shagging that nerdy bitch Bella Swan, in the first place, you wouldn't have got shot!" I yell through the gasps. The first set of gasps was that the Edward Cullen got shot. The second louder gasps were for him shagging Bella Swan Queen of the nerds.
"Don't talk about her like that. She's kind caring and the opposite of your slag self!"
" I'm a virgin for you information and I'm not the slut in this school. That would be Jess or Lauren, but your kind caring and not so innocent Bella is a very, very close second."
"You bitch!" He repeats sounding angrier than before as he takes a step forward towards me. Emmett takes a step in front of me blocking me from his infuriated younger brother.
"Back off!" Emmett growls, but his eyes look as if he's saying something else, pleading almost.
"Your defending her?" He asks shocked. I don't understand why he's surprised until he continues by saying
"Since your the one that told me what she did!"
"You did what?!" I shout and look at Emmett. For the second time in my life my face shows fear. Did he tell him that I called the cops for payback?
"Rose I'm sorr-" I slap him as he goes to apologise and by doing so confirming that he told on me. The cafeteria goes silent at the sound of my vicious slap.
"Your not fucking sorry! If you were, you wouldn't have told him" I say before looking over at Edward. The smug grin on his face tells me that he's clearly enjoying my humiliation. I wipe that grin off his face in a second with a swift knee in the balls.
"Rose I am so sorry." Emmett apologises again with tears in his eyes and in response I slap him as hard as I can since he clearly didn't get the message the first time I did.
"Stay the fuck away from me! I hate you!" I shout before I quickly exit the cafeteria.
Emmett, the love of my life, ratted me out to his brother therefore I am now humiliated because, I ratted Swan out to Charlie. Will this war ever end with a victory that isn't temporary?
Emmett.
"Edward I'm gonna fucking kill you!" I tackle him to the floor. I punch him once in the nose and the blood gushes down his face from the break. I manage to punch him once more in the mouth before he overcomes his shock and pushes me away. I throw another punch aiming at his gut I only miss because Jasper yells at me from the doorway.
"Emmett stop!"
We both turn to him as he charges across the room pushing through the growing crowd to get to us. When he reaches us he says
"First, Ed don't pick fights with girls! It's not nice! Especially when said girl could easily kick your ass! And don't call them sluts, they don't like it!" I look very smug before he turns to me
"Second, Em!" He looks at me very seriously before saying simply "Bro's before whoes!"
"You calling my girlfriend a whore?" I yell as my anger flares up as he too calls my angel a whoe.
Jasper suddenly looks very scared and he starts stuttering
"Dude, I didn't mean it like that! Geez! .. Er .. What I meant was .. Er . Er .. was um brothers before women! You know um good virtuous innocent women." I laugh and say
"That don't count Bella then!"
Edward snaps to attention at my words since he'd clearly got bored and had started texting his slag.
"For the last time Bella is not a whore!!" He roars looking livid.
"Of course she's not" I say in a voice so patronising that if looks could kill I would've dropped dead on the spot.
He walks forward balling his fist. I ain't scared though I can block any hit he throws at me easily the weakling. He stops mid walk as his phone vibrates loudly. He pulls it out of his pocket, reads the message, smiles then turns and walks away.
"Hey we're not finished!" I yell aggravated but he ignores me which makes me even more angry. I go to follow him but Jasper grabs my forearm
"Leave him."
I go to argue but he starts tugging on my arm.
"Rose is upset and she needs you."
Alice.
"So sexy." Jasper mumbles as he plants open mouthed kisses along my neck. I have to resist the urge to rip his clothes off but I am finding it so damn hard to! It's like you have a bloody Jackson Rathbone (yes I have a 'little' thing for the guy in 100 monkeys) in front of you naked and covered in melted Thornton's chocolate and someone telling you he's forbidden, out of bounds, etc. It makes you want it all the more! Basically it sucks! Big time!
"Jasper I wan–" I say in a breath but I dont get to finish my sentence because Rose bursts through the door. Me and Jasper detangle ourselves and I sit up properly on the art table. When I do I see that Rose is crying and her once perfect make-up looks a state because of it.
"Alice – Emmett – Edward – then – I – hit – him!" Rosalie tries to spit the words out as she is crying to much. I can't put any of those words into a sensible order so I press her for more
"Rose, Rose! What happened?" I ask jumping down of the table and running over to her. I pull her into a hug and Jasper slips quietly out of the door. I silently hope that he's gone to find his brothers, make sure they're ok.
"Emmett – told – Edward –that – I – called the cops! Emmett humiliated me! So much for being able to trust him. I thought he loved me!" She cries hard into my shoulder.
"He does!"
She shakes her head against me
"Rose you can see it in his eyes! Every time he looks at you, its obvious how he feels! Never doubt that he loves you!"
"But he told" She mumbles before breaking down into even louder and harder sobs.
"Shh honey...its ok." I say soothingly as I attempt to rock her back and fourth. I hold her for what seems like forever. Rose rarely ever cries so when she does it takes her a while to calm down. By the time she has Jasper's back and Emmett is with him.
Rose straightens up and inelegantly swipes her shirt sleeve over her face. Emmett grabs her up into his arms before she can protest against it. It doesn't take them long to make up and soon they're so wrapped up in one another that me and Jas share one look before hurriedly leaving. The bell rings over our heads and Jas walks me to home room. Outside the room he stops guides me gently so my back hits the wall and kisses me deeply. As I pull away from him I whisper
"I'm ready."
He freezes in shock for a second before asking quietly
"Sure?"
I nod and kiss him again.
"Brandon! Cullen! Detention!" My tutor yells as he spots us. We break apart and I sigh. This isn't the first time we've gotten in trouble for public displays of affection. Personally I think that she's never had a boyfriend and therefore takes it out on all the girls lucky enough to get them! I go to walk away but Jasper takes hold of my hand and refuses to let go. I turn and frown at him. He's looking up at my teacher
"Detention?" He questions to which my teacher nods once sharply. He smiles down at me and says
"Well then I might as well make it worth it" he then pulls me to him and kisses me with such force I would've fallen over had he not been holding me. Panting we break apart. The expression on my teachers is priceless.
"Inside!" She practically barks at me. I reach up on my tiptoes and whisper into his ear
"Tonight"
