Bella's POV.
The month went by quickly. Today was my wedding day and I wasn't scared. Through out the month I got closer to Edward, he was a good friend now, and I was starting to grow feelings for him. I saw changes in him too, like when he only looked at me when there was other pretty women around, or how he ignored both Tanya and Irina when we ran into them. I was starting to think this might actually work, maybe we could even stay together.
My arguments with Rene got more and more loud. She was always trying to control everything. Like she picked my wedding dress, but I destroyed it because it looked like a slut would wear it. I let Alice design my dress and I was happy with it, but Rene wasn't. I looked like a real princess, okay I am a princess but my big puffy dress said it all, and then the beautiful tiara. Everything was working.
Emmett walked me down the isle and gave my hand to Edward. I cried a lot when Rene wouldn't let my dad come. I even slapped her, she slapped me back, and I was so mad I grabbed her favorite vase and threw it at the picture she has of herself in the family room, it took most of the wall. But Emmett was my other option for walking down the isle. When I saw Edward, I saw happiness and I actually felt right.
After our I do's and congratulating, we went back to the palace for the party. That's when everything went down hill…
"Come on Bella let's just go for a quick walk outside. Edward's probably in the bathroom." Alice said. I finally gave up and let her walk me towards the front. There was a beautiful fountain there were we took a seat and breathed the fresh air.
"Bella, are you happy?" she asked.
"Honestly I think I am.""His changed you know that.""I've seen it too. I think I might actually start falling for him.""I knew it would work out, I just didn't think it would end up like this." I reached over to give Alice a hug when I saw behind her by the bushes that lead you to the back of the palace was a couple making out. It was my mom.
"Alice, Rene is cheating on Phil." I whispered looking behind her. She turned to see what I was talking about and gasped.
"Oh god, I can't believe it." and then I saw her pull away and a got a full view of the guy.
"Edward." Alice yelled taking the name right out of my mouth. I stood up and ran, I ran inside and up my room, I was very aware of the voice calling out to me and the footsteps behind me. I locked my room and tore the dress off me. I grabbed something simple, all I wanted was to get out of here. I couldn't take it. I was in jeans and a shirt when the door broke open, Emmett , Rose, and Jasper stood there seeing me changed and with tears.
"Bella what's going on."
"I'm leaving." I cried. I grabbed my purse shoved my stuff in and walked away from them and down the stairs. They all followed me out the doors everyone staring at us.
"Bella dam it stop now." Emmett yelled but I didn't stop, I kept walking towards the cars. Edward and Rene ran towards me. Rene stopped me and pulled on my shoulders.
"GET THE FUCK OUT MY FACE." I yelled at her making her drop her hands. I felt a grip on my waist and saw it was Emmett.
"What the hell is going on." He yelled. I could see the cameras from the paparazzi.
"Why don't you ask our dear mommy Emmett, I mean I'm sure she would love to tell us what exactly I caught her doing." I told him."Mom?" He asked. She only turned her face away from us.
"That's right, she doesn't have the guts to tell you. But she sure does have the guts to make out with my husband right. Thanks mom, right when I feel right you go and snatch it from me. I hope you burn in hell." I saw Emmett look at Edward with pure hate and then he lunched himself at him. I didn't even bother to stop them, I jumped in the car and drove through the gate. I pulled my cell out and dialed the only person I had right now.
"Daddy, I'm coming home."
................................................................
8 hours later I was finally out of that stupid plain. I saw my dad and I ran to him, crying and not carrying.
"Oh Bella what happen?" I shook my head, I didn't want to talk about it.
"Come on baby girl let's get you home. Sue is making dinner I'm sure your hungry." I didn't say anything, I only cried. I felt my dad pick me up bridal style and carry me inside. I felt him sit me on his lap and let me cry, rocking me the whole way while the car moved. Not once did I stop sobbing and I didn't even try. I felt him carry me again.
"No Seth I'll carry her.""Okay Charlie." I felt him open a door and take me somewhere inside. And then I heard the TV.
This just in Princess Isabella married today and ended her marriage in the same day. She found her husband Edward Cullen lip locking with her mother Rene McCarty. After getting injured from Emmett Swan -Bella's twin brother- they had to take Mr. Cullen to the hospital. As for Isabella, no one knows where exactly she is right now.
I broke into a bigger and harder sob as the words sunk in.
"Bella your mom did this.""She's not my mother." I yelled. I cried louder
"Oh baby, shush, I'm right here. Rene won't ever hurt you again." and he was right. When dad was around Rene was never able to get to me. That made me fall into a deep peaceful sleep.
Emmett's POV
"Emmett stop, your hurting Edward." Fuck if I cared, this kids gong to die for what he did to her. I let my anger wash over me and socked the shit out of him, he didn't even put up a fight, like I fucken cared. I felt someone pull me back and hold me there.
"Let me go, his going to pay for what he did." I yelled.
"Emmett stop this right now." Rene yelled.
"Don't tell me what to do. Why don't you go fuck the pooll boy." I yelled at her and she slapped me. I loosened my grip from Jasper and walked passed them and up my room. I packed my things in a suite case. Rose was right behind me.
"Where are you going?" She whispered."To find Bella. And I know exactly where she is. Come with me Rose. I'm not sure I'm coming back though." I saw her hesitate but she nodded. I grabbed her hand and we walked out the door to where everyone was. Rene was over at me at once.
"Where do you think your going." Rene said.
"I'm leaving. If you think I'm staying with you for one more second your dead wrong.""But Emmett your suppose to be king in only a few months.""Screw the crown and screw you." I stomped on the gas and drove off to the airport.
"Where is she at?" Rose asked.
"With our dad." that's where, the only parent that ever loved us, our dad.
Alice POV.
I was sitting here looking as dad fixed Edward up. Everyone was gone and Rene was upstairs arguing with Phil.
"I can't believe you did this." I told him.
"I didn't do anything, she came up to me." Edward spat.
"You lost her Edward, you lost her forever and there's no way your getting her back." I saw him cringe at that and not the pain. He was pretty messed up, his eyes were black, his lip was cut so was his eyebrow, there was blood everywhere. Emmett did a good job.
"I hate you Edward. I hope your happy." I left crying over my best friend, I lost her and all over my stupid brother.
Edward's POV.
She was right, I did loose her. This was my fault, I shouldn't have let Rene walk with me, I should have told her to stop when she kept on touching me, this would have never happened. Bella and I would probably be on our honeymoon right now, maybe even….
I saw mom pace around the room as dad fixed me up.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"Don't you even dare. I raised you better then this Edward, you were to treat girls with respect, this is why your father and I arranged this marriage, so you could settle down for once in your life." She yelled. I was doomed with out her, and there was no way of getting her back.
Emmett's POV.
"So where does he live?" Rose asked.
"Right here." I said stopping at the big house with a gate. The guard walked up to me.
"Your trespassing Swan territory I'm going to have to ask you to leave.""My name is Emmett swan, Charlie's son, can you tell him I'm outside so I can go in." I told the guard as nicely as I could. I saw him talk into his walkie talkie and then nod at the guy to open the gates. I finally went in and stopped the car when I was in front of the house.
"Come on." I told Rose getting out the car. The door opened to a maid.
"Mr. Swan, your father is in his daughter room would you like me to take you." I nodded and we followed up the stairs. When we finally got to the room I saw dad sitting there holding Bella's hand as she slept with tears slipping. I walked over to dad and gave him a hug, last time I saw him I was about 7.
"Son what are you doing here.""Dad, can Rose and I stay here. I can't live with mom anymore." "Of course Emmett, this house is big enough for more." I nodded and leaned over to kiss Bella's forehead."How is she?" I asked him.
"She won't eat or talk, she only cry's. she's broken. Emmett what exactly happen?"
"Rene arranged for Bella to get married, she had no choice, Bella worked up a plan though, she was going to stay married for 6 months and then divorce him and come live with you, but she began to fall in love with him. We all saw it, the way she moved around him and the look in her eyes. She was falling in love with him. Then today after the wedding Edward went outside for fresh air. I saw Alice and Bella follow a little later. I'm not sure what happened after. Rose and I were only dancing when I saw Bella run up the stairs crying. Rose, Jasper and I ran up and her door was locked, I could only hear sobs and movements. I got worried so I broke her door open to see her dress on the floor torn and her in pair of new clothes. I asked her what happened she only said she had to get out of here. She ran out the room and we followed. When we were outside Rene stopped Bella from getting in the car but Bella yelled at her. I asked what was going on, she said she found Edward and Rene making out. I don't know what happen after, I only remembered lunching myself at Edward and getting my anger out on him until Jasper pulled me off of him. After I grabbed some stuff and Rose and we left over here." Charlie looked sad and pained.
"My little girl was hurt by her mother.""She not out mother." I said with a cold voice.
"Emmett, I'm sure your tired, and Rose as well. Let me take you two to a room." I nodded and followed after him.
"Rose you need to call your parents and tell them your staying here." I told her handing her my phone.
"Emmett I don't want to go back." She told me.
"Then don't but tell them that your not coming back." She nodded and dialed her parents number. Dad showed us our room and left to take care of Bella. I closed the door behind Rose and sat on the bed.
"Hey mom…yeah I'm okay…I came to find Bella with Emmett…Yes mom it was really tragic…I know I'll tell them…I'm not coming back mom…You don't need me, you knew I would move out once I was 18...I understand…yeah…thanks…love you to…I'll tell him…bye." she hung up and kissed me lightly.
"She's actually okay with it. I think she's just glad I'm finally out of her house."
"Come on, let's sleep. We have a long day ahead of us." She nodded and laid next to me. I just wanted it to be tomorrow, I could see Bella and help her out, because I knew that for the first time she would be in denial. And I needed to break that so she can heal.
Bella's POV
This bed was so warm and comfortable, but it felt small, and it didn't smell like strawberry's it smelled new. I stirred and felt a body next to me. What the…
"Emmett" I asked when I saw a big bulky body holding my hand and laying there head on the bed. But it wasn't Emmett it was…my dad…what…wait what happen? Why am I here? I looked around and found the time, it was 9 in the morning. I shook my hand to wake dad up.
"Dad, wake up." he stirred and then opened his eyes.
"Hey baby how are you today."
"I'm good but do you mind explaining what's going on. Why am I here? And how did I get here?"
"Bella don't you remember?" I shook my head.
"Hold on." he got up and left the room. He came back with Emmett rubbing his eyes. I attacked in a hug.
"Hey Em. What happen?" he looked down at me and frowned.
"She's in denial, she doesn't want to remember." He told dad, what were they talking about. I'm not in denial.
"So don't remind her.""I have to dad, she'll only get worse. I need to break her in order to heal her. I've done this things before." no I don't want to know.
"Dad let's go eat I'm hungry." I said letting go of Emmett.
"No Isabella, sit down. I'm not going to let you lie to yourself like this. You will listen to me and you will get through this because Rose and I will help you. Dad will help you too."
"No, stop, I don't want to hear anything.""Your married and you found mom kissing your husband yesterday on your wedding day.""No your lying stop it Emmett." I let the tears fall. he was lying, he had too. but his your brother and he loves you why would he lie. stop it. He is lying.
"Bella stop. Here if you don't believe me, believe the TV." he turned on the TV and I saw Edward getting beat up by Emmett while I screamed at my mom and left. Everything came back. Edward kissed Rene on my wedding day, she didn't care, she never did, and he never changed. I broke down and cried. I felt Emmett pick me up and lay me on the bed.
"Bella your going to be okay. You're a swan and were strong." he as right, I was a swan and Swans don't cry like baby's over some ass. I whipped the tears away, and I felt something on my finger, my wedding ring. I took it off.
"Daddy do you have a lawyer?" I asked him.
"Yes Bella, you want him to come over today?" I nodded. He left the room and left me alone with Emmett.
"It hurts Em. It feels like someone ripped my heart out." I let the tears fall silently.
"I know Bella. But you have me and Rose, we'll get through this I promise. Now come on, you haven't ate at all. Let's get you feed because we need to go and buy you clothes and Rose and me." I smiled and nodded. I knew he was right, I had Emmett and Rose. I looked in the mirror and looked horrible, so I put my hair up and left with Emmett. Rose was outside the door waiting for us, she gave me a hug and kissed my forehead.
"Come on kid, your drop dead gorgeous, your Isabella Swan, and you're a princess, you will get through this and we'll find you your prince charming." I laughed at her statements and only nodded. Dad came back and kissed my check.
"He'll be over in a few. Now come on, I need to introduce you to some people. And we need to feed you Bella. You look so skinny." I smiled.
"Daddy I've always been that way, you just want me as big as Emmett and that's not happening." they laughed and we walked down the stairs and into some doors that lead to the dinning table. I saw 3 teens around my age sitting there with Sue. She stood up and gave me a hug.
"Feel better darling?" she was always so sweet.
"Yes, I'm okay now." she nodded.
"Okay so this are my kids and well your father's step kids too, so there your step brother and step sister." I nodded and walked over to them. I looked at the female, she was very pretty, skinny, and well gorgeous.
"Hi I'm Bella Swan." I hold me hand out for her to take and she did.
"Leah Clearwater." She gave me a hug. I smiled.
"So which of you boys is my step brother?" I asked to the two boys sitting there.
"That's me." I saw a young boy say. He looked a lot like Leah just a little younger.
"I'm Seth." he gave me a hug. Emmett walked behind me.
"And I'm Bella's Twin Emmett.""Your both twins?" asked the boy I still haven't meet.
"Yeah, I'm older though." I smirked making Emmett stick his tongue out.
"Wow, your so small and his huge." I laughed and smiled at Emmett, we got that a lot.
"So who are you?" I asked him.
"Seth's best friend Jacob." I smiled and nodded.
"His also a pain in the ass." Leah said.
"Leah play nice." I heard Sue say.
"Well isn't anyone going to introduce me." Rose pouted and came over to my side.
"Sorry. This is my best friend Rose and Emmett's girlfriend." they all said hi.
"Bella the lawyers here." said dad. I looked up and saw a man standing behind him.
"Excuse me I need to get rid of some trash." I said taking off my wedding ring and walking past them and into the family room.
"Hi my name is Aro Vulturi and I'll be your lawyer from now on." I shook his hand and nodded.
"I'm Bella." I told him.
"So Bella how can I help you." he asked.
"Okay so I got married yesterday and I'm sure you've seen the news so I really don't want to repeat myself. I want a divorce and now." I told him putting my ring on the table.
"I see, well, the thing is you can't until you turn 18 because your still young.""But then if I'm still young why am I allowed to marry?"
"Because your mother agreed.""But what if my dad agrees to the divorce.""That would work if he had custody over you." I looked at dad for help and he nodded.
"I want custody then. I have all the right in the world to have both my kids living with me and I have the right to decided Bella's future.""Okay well then that's different. I'll work on the custody papers, I'll have them done by the end of the day. Your divorce papers will be done by the end of the week, I'll need Charlie to come over and sign them along with you." I nodded and got ready to excuse myself.
"Oh and Aro, please send him the ring with the papers." I told him before heading back to the dinning room. When I was inside I saw Seth, Jacob, and Leah gawking at Emmett who was eating like crazy. I rolled my eyes.
"Don't chock on your food brother bear." he turned around with a pancake hanging from his mouth.
"Wow Emmett, didn't you ever learn table manners." I said taking a seat next to him. I saw the maid come in and put a plate of pancakes in front of me. I began to eat when I felt a pair of eyes boring into me. I looked up and saw it was Jake.
"What?" I asked.
"I still don't understand." he said.
"Understand what?" I asked getting irritated.
"How can you be related to him." he said pointing at Emmett who was eating more.
"I don't know. I guess we just grew up to complete opposites." I said with a shrug. After I was done I looked at Em and he took out his credit card. I laughed.
"Come on, we need clothes and Rene's going to pay for them." I shook my head in disbelief at my twin. I looked over at Leah.
"Leah do you guys want to come?" I asked.
"Sure, we'll take my car." I nodded. They lead us to the back of the house and down some stairs where the garage was at. We got in a BMW.
"Ugh, we kind of don't fit." I said looking at the seats.
"Come on princess you can sit in my lap." Jacob said.
"Unless you want you head on right I suggest not." I said pointing at Emmett. He looked at little mad. I laughed and got in when I saw Rose sitting on Emmett's lap. I felt okay, with new friends and old. I would be okay.
