1 "Why are you being such and ass?" Alice asked as she poked me in the chest with her finger.
"I have no idea what you are talking about" I said as I tried to walk past her with no success.
"No you do know. Now go find Bella and apologize"
"I have no need to apologize" great she even got the song stuck in my head.
I finally brushed past her and into my room where i shut and locked my door. I sat down at my desk and stared at my blank computer screen. Distractions were my down fall. I hated them, and they threatened to take my future away. My parents would come home in two days and I still had a ton of work to be done that had to be finished by that time. It would never get done by that time and it bugged me. If I couldn't handle a girl and her daughter then how could I handle a country? I couldn't do this. I was the oldest child and therefore I had to do it. I had to get Bella out of my head. And quick.

I woke up the next day still at my desk. I looked at the clock and it was 9 AM. I quickly changed my jeans and shirt into another pair of jeans and a black button up shirt. I walked out of my room and down into the kitchen where I heard giggling. I walked in to find Jasper with Emmy on his shoulders trying to reach a plate. She was laughing and jasper had a smile on his face. I simply stood in the door way waiting for them to notice my presence. Which happened to be Jasper first.
"Good morning Edward" he gave a small wave.
"Jasper, Emilia" I smiled and Jasper set her back down on the ground.
"Hi Edward. Me and Uncle Jazz were makin' Breakfast." she smiled
"Good luck with that. I'll be in my office if you need me" I went to walk away but Emilia ran in front of my to stop me.
"But we made food". She stuck out her bottom lip in a perfect pout that rivaled Alice's.
"But I have work to do" I tried to reason with her
" But everyone has to eat and breakfast is the most important meal of the day" she still had the pout on her face.
"How about I take the food to my office and do both. Like yesterday with your peanut butter and jelly." i smiled down at her.
"Okay. But I'll bring it to you. It's not done yet."she skipped back to Jasper as I walked away and to my office.
I walked into my office only to hear soft crying. I looked around, not finding anything that would be crying. I walked into the connecting room that held all my uniforms and horse equipment for parades. This room was set up basically like a maze and was confusing the first couple of times you walk in. As children we used it as the ultimate hide and go seek room. I walked through it with no problem since I had learned the trick. Towards the middle I found Bella curled up in a ball on the floor crying. She looked up at me and screamed.
