Chapter 3
BPOV
I woke to the sound of someone banging on my door. I was just about to go tell whoever it was to go fly a kite.
"Bella someone is here to see you.", Jason yelled up. I quickly grabbed my robe and went running down the stairs thinking that Jason just saved who ever it was from getting an earful.
I let out a scream, it was Rosalie. I thought maybe I was dreaming they weren't supposed to be back for at least another week.
"What are you doing back," I asked after we were done hugging.
We followed Jason in to the kitchen. He was making coffee, realizing that with my two best friends home early sleep would be nearly impossible.
"Well Alice got a message from Carlisle last night saying there was some sort of family crisis and she needed to get home?"she explained.
"What kind of family crisis?" I asked all worried. "I saw Em last night and he didn't say anything." I told her as I grabbed a cup of coffee. The Cullens were like family to me and I loved them to bits, even their absent sibling Edward. I hadn't seen him in about 3 years whenever there was a break from school I was with my mom. He was going to some sort of private school for the artistically gifted. So now my curiosity was peaked to what the family crisis was.
Jason was looking over at me wondering if I would ask Rose if she knew the guy that was with them last night. I decided that I really didn't want to know from them or else they would try to set me up. Last time they tried to set me up with a guy from a town over he turned out to be a jerk and he had a girlfriend. Which to give my friends credit they didn't know. They just thought he was a nice, cute guy who didn't see me go from what they say the ugly duckling to a swan.(no pun intended) I never think of myself that way I always see myself as ordinary. So I don't date the guys from school.
Just then there was another knock at the door, "Geez Bella I think I am going to go home and grab a change of clothes and a shower. And maybe a nap I have to work tonight. Enjoy your day off and if you need someone tonight call me okay?" he leaned over to kiss me on the cheek and gave Rose one too. If it would have been any other guy Rose would have smacked him. "You seem to have enough company here to keep you safe from the wolves." Jason said as he went to open the door. "Hey Emmett. Your girl is in the kitchen." And he left. He lived 2 blocks away so he didn't need a ride.
"There's my girl", Emmett smiled as he grabbed Rose in a hug and kissed her with so much passion that you would have thought that she was gone for a month instead of only a week.
"Nice to see you too Em." I said when he put he down finally. "Sorry Bells its just I thought that I would be the first one she would want to see when she got off the plane."
He pouted.
"You were, but I figured that with the family crisis that Carlisle told Alice about you wouldn't want me there distracting you." She told him as she circled his arms around his waist and gave him her pouty lips. Rose and Emmett are like the perfect couple they are both tall, she looks like she should be on every cover of every fashion magazine, with her long blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes that change colour depends on her mood. He is just a big teddy bear not fat just very muscular. They were made for each other.
"What family crisis?" He asked looking at us as if this was news to him.
"I don't know that's just what Alice told me when she explained why we had to leave early. Not that I mind being home early." she said as she ran her fingers through his hair.
"Maybe Carlisle got her credit card report and decided that she had spent enough already. So rather then let her break us he needed her to be home to stop spending." Em laughed. Rose and I looked at his face realized he was joking and burst into laughter.
Just then the phone rang. We all looked at each other, her ears must have been burning "Alice." Then we giggled. "Hey alice how was shopping?" I ignored Rose and Em and made small talk with Alice for awhile.
"Bella I bought you a few new clothes while I was there I know that your mad but I couldn't resist. Can you come over today?" she asked not telling me why they had to come home early from their trip.
"Actually today is my day off, and I need to go see Charlie and I wanted to know if Rose wanted to come shopping," I got cut off before I could finish.
"What you are asking Rose to go shopping with you." I could feel her anger through the phone.
"not clothes shopping car shopping, Renee and Charlie decided they were going to buy me a car together all the paperwork is in order I just need to go and pick one out." I had to quickly fill in. I don't want Alice to feel left out, but when it comes to cars it was Rosalie's expertise I needed.
"Bella I am hurt. I don't care if it is Rose's area. Too me shopping is shopping." I could hear her pouting on the other end.
"Alice, would you like to come car shopping with me and Rose this afternoon. That is if Rose is free." I turned to look at her and her face was lit up like you just told her that she was going shopping for herself. Emmett looked a little hurt that Rose wouldn't be spending her first day with him but if he wanted to come along he could and I told him that.
"Actually I have plans this afternoon me and a few guys were going to watch the game on T.V. at my house. So I couldn't really cancel." He explained.
"So I guess Jasper is busy too." Alice said over the phone. "Great so I'll pick you up at noon and we will go for lunch first okay."
"Sure. I'll meet you at my house." I hung up after that.
So with our plans settled for the afternoon Rose decided to go over to the Cullens and spend some alone time with Emmett before she came car shopping with me and Alice which would probably turn into a whole afternoon thing. I would probably end up back at the Cullens for the night. They offered me a place to stay with Charlie in the hospital but with Alice gone I didn't really want to intrude. So I politely declined.
Holy crap it was 10 am I really needed to get going. I wanted to see Charlie before he went for more testing. I also wanted to go see him to thank him again for what would be my new car.
I quickly dressed in what Alice would call my standard Bella uniform. Skinny jeans, tank top with a hooded zip up and a pair of canvas shoes. She would hate it when we went shopping this afternoon, but hey I wasn't going clothes shopping I was going car shopping. I quickly ran a brush through my long brown hair decided not to throw it up.
Quickly put on some eyeliner and lipgloss and I ran out the door. I did the make up for Alices benefit. Normally if I don't have school or work I don't do anything with my face and I usually just pull my hair up but to save an argument I decided to do a little bit (very little).
When I got to the hospital I saw Carlisle standing just outside of my dad's hospital room arguing with someone. They looked like they were having a heated discussion about something so I didn't want to interrupt. I decided I would find Carlisle after to see if he knew anything more about Charlie's condition.
As I passed him Carlisle smiled. As I walked into Charlies room I got a good glimpse of who he was talking too. It was the hottie from the night before. I knew I could ask Carlisle who he was and he would tell me. My visit with Charlie was short he was really groggy from all the medication so I just stayed for a bit and thanked him again for my new car. We don't talk much at the best of times so with him in the hospital we talked even less. We mostly talked about the restaurant and I told him things were under control. Which they were. He had good staff working for him and he knew it he just needed reassurance from me he knows that I wouldn't lie to him about it. I left when the nurse came to take his vitals I told him I would come back after I was done car shopping. He just nodded and went back to sleep.
I went to look for Carlisle and they told me that he was called in for an emergency surgery but that he left me a message.
Bella,
You dad is going to be fine. Come for dinner tonight. Esme misses you. Please.
Carlisle.
I knew I would go for dinner but when I went over to the Cullens lately I was starting to feel like a fifth wheel.
I was walking towards my truck when I noticed the hottie pulling out of the parking lot in a silver Volvo.
Nice wheels.
I had to get home quickly so I would be ready when Alice got there. She hates waiting for people but she will make you wait for her. Unless of course you are going shopping.
Typical Alice already waiting for me. I needed to quickly run in an get all the paperwork for my new car.
I grabbed it and dashed out to her yellow Porsche I liked it but I didn't want the same kind of car so I would just have to get something different.
I hope you liked this chapter.
