Empty Promises, Broken
Ch 7- Discussion
Bella POV
We stayed there lying down. I was lying with my head on top of his chest. It felt right. Like this is the place I was meant to be in and Edward was the person I was meant to be with. We stayed there for what seemed like minutes. I noticed the sun coming up. I looked at the clock. Darn, 5:00 am already.
'Well we better go to my house so you can get your car and family before school starts.' He said breaking the silence
'Oh, right. Wait what are we gunna tell everyone else about us?'
'Well most likely Alice already told them and Brett is probably sulking.'
'But he knows that I don't love him like that.'
'Well it doesn't matter he's still upset.'
'Oh joy, should be fun. 'I said my tone dripping with sarcasm. He let out a small chuckle.
'I'm watching you Edward Anthony Masen Cullen.' I said to him through my thoughts. He still looked shocked. 'My powers remember?' He nodded.
'And I'm watching you Isabella Marie Swan Flood.'
'Well, I'm serious. No funny business, ok?'
'Fine, whatever you say Bella.' He said in a mocking tone. I glared, or at least tried to, at him.
'Let's go then.' We ran to his house since Edward and I each got to my house by running.
When we got there we were bombarded with hugs. Alice was busy yelling ' I knew it! I knew it!'
Esme and Carlisle both took turns hugging us. Meanwhile, my family with the exception of Jenny looked upset. And of course Brett looked sulky as Edward predicted.
'Isabella, can we speak to you alone?' Jordyn thought. I sighed. Of course Edward heard what Jordyn said and he heard me sigh. He looked at me worriedly. I knew it meant trouble. They only called me Isabella when it was serious. I went up with them to Edward's room. I knew he wouldn't mind.
Even though Jenny had no problem with the current situation, she followed us upstairs. We got there and I laid down on the bed that was still there. Which seemed weird seeing as the inhabitants of this household didn't sleep at all and I was no longer human. I haven't even been there since 50 years ago. The others sat on his leather couch while Jordyn stood by the door.
'So what's up?' I asked trying to move it along. Still no answer from anyone. 'Hello? What do you need me for?' again no answer. 'So I guess I can go now?' I asked starting to get up from the bed. I was just testing the waters. Then out of nowhere, Jordyn turned around and started yelling at me.
'HOW COULD YOU GET BACK WITH HIM AFTER HWO HE HURT YOU! TWICE MAY I ADD!' I had only seen Jordyn this angry once and that time she almost killed Josh. Of course Jenny was furious after that and they started fighting between the two girls and they brought attention to us so we had to move. Then it was quiet. Which was weird. Then I realized that they were waiting for me to answer.
'I love him.' I simply said. That got Brett going
'HOW CAN YOUSTILL LOVE HIM? HE HURT YOU SO MUCH A VERY BADLY. HE'S NOT RIGHT FOR YOU! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT AT ALL BELLA? EDWARD ISN'TRIGHT FOR YOU! YOU SHOULD SERIOUSLY STAY AWAY FROM HIM!' I knew that the Cullens could hear him no matter how much they tried not to. I simply said,
'No, I refuse. I love him.'
'Well, then you leave us no choice,' Josh started.
'Josh no!' Jenny yelled. Josh ignored her and continued. But he was interrupted by Alice and Edward bursting into the room.
'Josh don't do this to us please! Think of Bella! Think of Edward and what it would do to the both of them! You said so yourself that she was like a zombie without him!' Alice pleaded. But he still continued.
'We're leaving.'
