(Bella's point of view)
We all got pretty comfortable on the couches. We just sat and talked about random things. It was so relaxing to chill with my best friends after finals. I felt like all the stress eased out of me like sweat on a hot day. I closed my eyes. Unfortunately, that wasn't a good idea. In the few seconds my eyes closed, I was drenched from head to toe in frigid ice water.
"Emmett! YOU ARE SOOOO DEAD!" I ran after him with anything I could find.
(Carlisle's point of view)
I walked through the kitchen door only to see Bella run in chasing Emmett.
"Let me guess, he threw water on her?" They smirked as I laughed. Such a classic.
"You closed early today?" Jasper asked.
"Yes because everyone earned it. We did a mash-up with different solos and tunes. The rhythm was the same though, but the way it worked out was that the dynamic structure made it sound like everyone was ten times better than normal." I smiled impressed. The last couple of days teaching at the high school have been amazing, but if we wanted states, we'd still have to work in spite of finals and summer vacation. I was the Main music instructor at the high school they went to. Even though they are younger by a few years, I still look at them more like my kids. I watched each of them grow up. I even babysat Jasper, that's why I was able to come and go whenever I pleased. I was their mentor and family friend, and since their parents weren't home for the week, it was my job to keep them out of trouble.
"BBBAAMMM!" Or not. Emmett came running through the living room with a string cheese all over him. I'm surprised she even threw food at him.
"Bella I think you and him are equal now." All of a sudden, the authority that was in my voice silenced the room. I felt dizzy and confused. I don't remember putting my foot down. We were simply laughing and having a good time.
"All of you need to get ready for the changes around here. Things won't always be so carefree. There will be responsibilities that must be tended to. Shape up for a new chapter called adulthood." The room was deadly quiet. I don't understand why I stated that like it was destiny, but it even scared me.
"Excuse me a moment." I left before the silence screamed any louder. I called Esme because she was the only one who could tell me what to do in times like these. What is this?
(Edward's point of view)
"What the hell! He's right. When will we see that we all have potential and that we carelessly toss our talent around? Come on guys, we need to use our gifts to benefit from each other!" I left the room. For some reason I was just as confused as Carlisle might have been, because I was going to say how weird he sounded. I bit my tongue and the blood came rushing out. Frigg man!
(Esme's point of view)
I ran to the den to answer my phone. When I read the caller ID, my heart sunk to my stomach.
"Hello?" I sounded high pitched. Odd.I knew I loved Carlisle, but I was never Love stricken.
"Hey honey I..(he sighed)..I need to talk. You have time?" He seemed upset. Why was I tearing up?
"Of course." He slowly explained. He sounded broken.
"They will always love you. I will always love you. No matter what happens to us, we will stand strong as a family ready to battle what we must." Where did that come from?
"You are so inspirational Esme and that's one reason I love you. Goodnight." He hung up.
I wonder if I should tell him I'm pregnant. Not yet, it's too soon.
