It was two'o'clock in the afternoon when the limo pulled up to the mansion. Bella didn't get out. She sat there and beckoned her dates in. The producers on set told her that she needed to get out, at least to introduce the audience to the activity. She told them to fuck off.
Anger can get the best of us.
Emmett didn't know what to do. He felt as if his best friend was just in so much pain, and it was because of him. Bella was beautiful, but she wasn't for him. If only he could make her see that she doesn't belong with him. But he stood off to the sidelines, he was the only boy who didn't have a date, but he was trying to figure out what he was supposed to do. Did she want him to go home? Or did she believe that he deserved to be ignored?
Jacob was a pissed. Again he was clumped in a group of men, and there was no way that he was going to impress her when Edward Cullen stood before them all. And Laurent. Laurent was just so happy. He was with his Bella, and life was good. All he needed was a really big hamburger, or something, because he was really hungry.
"Well, boys." She looked at Jacob, Edward, and Laurent. "Get in the car. We're going skydiving!" And with that she threw up on the limo's floor.
Anger can make us do crazy things.
Before the date cards were handed out, Bella had run over to the Producer trailer out back.
"Rosie, I going skydiving."
"Bella, are you sure about that?" Rosie turned around in her swivel chair with a laugh on her face. Behind her clips of people moved on the four computer screens set up.
"Yes, I need to just do something."
"Bella, are you sure?" This time she was as serious as the FBI.
"What are you dumb? You already asked that question." Bella rolled her eyes. "I'm positive. It's going to be good. I want Laurent to come, and Edward. And I guess Jacob."
"Bella, what the hell is wrong?" Rosalie was standing up, and pushed Bella to a seat, but Bella just pushed her away and sat up.
"No, Rosalie. I am doing this. And while I'm gone, I need you to just go talk to Emmett."
"Why?" Rosalie was slightly caught off guard.
"Well, I'm not sending him on a date this week."
"Why the hell would you do that?"
"Because I think he is becoming a little stressed out, so I'm going to give him some free time. Let him decide if he really wants this with me."
"But couldn't you just give him a one-on-one date or something."
"Rosie." Bella finally looked Rosalie in the eyes. "Just please go talk to him." And she walked out with tears in her eyes.
Anger can make us think of others.
Edward was dragging Bella out of the car with difficulty. Every camera at the set was in the way, each trying to get a perfect shot of Bella. She looked drunk. Edward pulled her into his arms and went into the living room.
Laurent was behind them, "Bella, its okay. It's okay." He was walking a bit crooked, and tried to grab Bella from Edward.
"Laurent!" Jacob came from behind. "Go get a bucket." Emmett appeared from the doorway. "Emmett, can you get some water and towels?"
Emmett paused, but nodded his head as he walked towards the kitchen. Edward was cradling Bella in his arms on the sofa. And for a second, Jacob noticed how perfect it looked. The light was shining on his back, and she looked so feeble and perfect in Edward's arms. 'She wouldn't look the same in my arms.' His hands balled up into fists. But he shook of the thought, and went to put his fingers in Bella's hair. He would never let Edward intimidate him. He was just as perfect.
Anger can make us step up our game.
Bella was in bed with Laurent, Edward and Jacob. Instead of going skydiving they jumped into the bed. It was Jacob's idea, but Edward and Laurent joined in. Bella was all snuggled in her bed, and the boys were on the different sides of her. She felt so loved, when people surrounded her. Edward's laugh was filling the room as Jacob made the group laugh, and Laurent was being lauged at because he was completely high. He would request a different food every ten minutes. A bad case of the munchies, but Bella didn't care. Finally, she felt as if she was the center of attention. She felt perfect right where she was. Like friends were all she saw, and she didn't even think about falling in love with any of them. They were all the perfect best friends.
Anger can be settled by love.
Rosalie found Emmett in the back of the house doing his habitual laps in the swimming pool. She pulled off her shirt. Which revealed a red bikini, showing more skin than she possibly could imagine. Emmett was still doing his laps. So Rosalie jumped in the pool. Emmett suddenly stopped as he saw her bikini. He rose to the top, to see Rosalie's face. And he smiled.
Anger can give others a chance.
Evan was the happiest man in the world. His one-on-one date with Bella was in about 2 hours. She told the producers that she still wanted to go on the date with him. Evan immediately said he didn't want to strain her anymore. But Rosalie looked at Evan and told him that he had to do this.
"Bella needs to be reminded that there are guys here that do love her." And he welcomed the chance to do it.
Anger can bring pain to others.
Memories can cause pain. It can creep back and just ruin the moment of anything. You can't believe it's happening until the tears fall down. It can be a simple statement that nobody really means, but it burns. It scars. You can't help but just want to die. For that moment, you are six again and the other kindergartners are making fun of your new glasses or your ten, and you achieved the highest score in a vocabulary test.
Their dinner sat before them, barely touched. The wine's ice was slowly melting, and even the cameramen were still quiet. Evan and Bella were in a staring match. His face was melted, scared, vulnerable. Her's was a vixen. She was still pissed, and he was still trying to love her.
The night had gone so well. They had first rode horses on the beach. It was one of the most romantic dates of her life. She was forcing herself to smile and laugh. And Evan was just on the top of the world. He held her hand as the sun set, and he the electricity was jumping through his veins. They had just sat down for dinner. He was pumped about it, and knew for certain he was getting the rose.
They were just starting their salads when she said it. "So do you think that you are going to be here for a while? Or are you going to be sent to another country to like live?"
Evan smiled. She was thinking of the future. "Yeah, I could be sent anywhere."
"Well, can you quit?" Everything had stopped. After what seemed like a century, "I mean, are you going to be doing it forever?"
"What do you want? It's my job. I will be in it for as long as I live." The memories came flooding back: his last girlfriend acting the same way, his mother freaking out, and his father crying. He wasn't able to handle the conversation then, so he didn't know if he would be able to do now.
"But what if you're needed at home?"
"Then I can speak via skype. I mean there are so many ways that people speak to others."
"No!" She yelled a bit. But quickly held it together as she realized how loud she had become. "What if you're needed? What if the're are kids? What if you die? What if you get injured? What will I do if I can't handle losing you? " The tears started to fall, but her face stood strong.
He swallowed his last gulp of wine. "I can't tell you that I'm always going to be at your beck and call." She started to shake her head as the tears started to fall harder. "I might die. But my hope is that you will understand that I'm fighting for my country. I am a landscaper right now, but I'm also a soldier. I believe that you can be my wife, Isabella Swan. I know it. You are strong enough to handle anything. You are strong."
"But I'm not." She started to twiddle her thumbs. "I'm not at all. I still need to just cry every once in a while. Will I be able to just lean on you?"
Evan reached over and grabbed her hand. "You can lean on me right now."
"But,"
"Just do it Bella."
"I just…"
And he lifted her out of the chair and carried her over to blanket on the beach. He kissed her full on the mouth, then he pulled back. "I'm here right now. Take me or leave me."
And she strained up to start kissing him again.
Soooo yeah, that's all for now. Hope you enjoyed. Have a wonderful day!
