(A/N: I kind of skipped over Bella explaining everything, so you wouldn't have to read what you already know. But you'll get to see some reactions! And a few surprises…EnjoyJ)
Ch. 6 - Tears of Confusion??
"You really want to know?" I said though I already knew the answer. What were they thinking happened? That I did this to myself? Isn't that impossible!? Do they think it was Charlie? I wonder if they know I moved to Jacksonville…. I was brought back to reality by Alice's yelling voice sounding appalled that even asked.
" Yeah! Don't you know me at all!" Alice appeared from behind Carlisle and Jasper. "Alice, please…" Carlisle gave her a look her a look I didn't understand at all. "Bella, please, we can help, first we need to kn--" He was interrupted by Esme and Emmett at the same time. Emmett yelled "What the hell is going on with you Bella?!?!?" Esme remained calm when she spoke "Bella, please tell us what's going on with you?" her voice as sweet as always.
"Ummm…okay, but it's kind of a long story." I was really procrastinating now. "We've got all day." Carlisle finally spoke to move the conversation to the story. I took a drink of water, because I would need it. I sighed, and started from the beginning.
They all stood, concerned and only a little shocked since they already the general situation. They'd asked questions about Renee but I didn't have answer, though I explained everything about Kara, Liz, and Brandon that they asked.
My throat was dry and sore from talking so I took a drink of water and a deep breath. "So now you know." I said hoping they would leave soon.
"What can we do? We should talk to Charlie, have someone send for your things. You shouldn't have to go back there again! Phil needs serious help, the police can take c--" Carlisle didn't get to finish once again, because I found myself yelling, and getting mad. I had no idea why.
"WHOA! No! I don't think so! Not happening. You don't need or have to do anything. I don't need your help." I stood up to all of their attention. "I have to get back to work, you need to be out of here by the time it's over." I squeezed my way out of their group and turned around to see even Rosalie's mouth hung down. Then went out the door.
Kara was winding the show down with slower, calmer songs. The very last thing to happen was, I was bringing a large cake out on stage. Only Liz, Brandon, Jenny and Steve, and I knew about it. It was all Brandon's idea, and I thought that was just adorable!! Kara was as surprised as ever and the audience gave her a HUGE round of applause for the show and her birthday.
After giving Kara the first piece of the cake, then Liz and Brandon, I even gave some to the crowd. I looked up to the back, and saw the Cullens were they should be. They were looking straight at me. I brought the cake off the stage and into the back, some men I didn't know picked it up and brought it who knows where. I had a few tasks to take care of.
1. Pack the clothes in a bag.
2. Throw away empty make up containers.
3. Pack away the full ones.
4. UGH. Then stand there for 10 minutes of Kara and Liz asking me if I needed to go to a clinic or hospital. If I'm bleeding or have a headache, which obviously I do not.
Liz and I went over what parts of the songs needed improvements or tweaking. Though they were set on the lyrics I wrote, since they loved them. We stood where the crowd was, as soon as there were enough people gone. The Cullens were still there, but standing outside a convenience store talking. You couldn't tell what they were saying though. Liz noticed me staring and noted out loud that she thought the muscular one was hot. I scrunched my nose together, I was so annoying though! I only said that mentally.
Kara, Brandon, and Steve came over saying they wanted to go back to our hotel, and have some dinner. Jenny was apparently asking people from here where to go, near the car where we were putting our bags from behind stage. I walked around to see who while "putting away the final bag" but didn't get it in the back when I saw who. You've got to be kidding me! What next!?
"Bella! I was on the phone with someone about dinner, who wasn't a big help I might add, and this nice family overheard and helped us out. I even got reservations!" She pointed to the Cullens standing a couple yards away looking as if they were waiting for someone. "They're a little scary though…eeep!" She joked.
When she left I walked over to them. "I told you! I don't need your help! What are you still doing here?" They looked to Carlisle since no one new what to say. "Well, truth is we needed you to leave since we are meeting someone. There's no changing the location. It's urgent. We thought the sooner you leave…" He explained leaving short, not knowing what else to say.
"Fine. We're leaving soon so…" I turned away on my heel, but didn't get far till I heard Alice freak out, "NO!!!" she yelled but wasn't looking at me.
Someone ran to them, really fast. "I'm going back! I have to! I need to get you-know-who though still. Yes, Alice you got your wish." !!!! ???? It was…him. Edward. Standing right there in front of me. I didn't get one word that he said. It didn't make any sense!
No one said anything, but Alice slowly lifted her arm and extended her finger, pointing at me. "What? What is it?" he sounded confused, and turned around. About two seconds after seeing my face, his eyes widened and he gasped. I looked away, and almost jogged to the back of the van. I stuffed the bag I was holding in with others, and slammed it shut.
Jenny and Steve were already in the car, so I grabbed my friends and practically dragged them to the open door. He was going back??? Huh? Three seconds after we started going, I looked out the back window to see Edward. Standing alone in the streets, staring, in shock, after me. I didn't know what to feel. But a small sad and confused tear escaped out my right eye. Hid from everyone. I leaned my head against the window, and repeated his words in my head. Then thought, he's back, Edward's back.
(A/N: I Kinda came close to crying while typing the end. But it was only just a simple sad feeling. About two chapters left. I've been looking forward to the last couple for a long time! I'll start on them right away!! Promise!)
