Chapter 44:
Little Miss Pouty
"It's exactly the same thing. Anyway, as much as I hated what he did, I couldn't deny that I still loved him, because I did. I'm certain he will never make that mistake again, he can't really now that I'm like him and . . . I'm just so happy Soph. Every time I laugh, it's so filling and I haven't smiled so much in such a long time.
He left me not because he didn't love me but because he loved me so much he couldn't stand that I could get hurt. Of course, his family knows about Nessie like you guys do, it's only fair. And . . . they missed me too! I was surprised at how easily they let me in with Nessie. Nessie . . . she surprised me by actually warming up them a bit.
She still hates him but she's giving him a chance because he makes me happy. I was hoping you guys could do the same thing. Though you're still upset and angry, give him and his family another chance. You never know" I said softly. "I just, I can't stand that our family might get pulled apart. You guys can't make me chose. I just . . . I can't" I said as I fell back onto the bed.
Suddenly, I heard the door creak open and heard the footsteps of my family walking. I looked up quickly and saw the rest of my family, with the exception of Nessie, walk in. 'Please tell me they weren't eavesdropping!!'
"What do you need?" I asked, hoping they wouldn't answer the way I expected them to.
"Bella, I'm sorry. As mad as I was, I shouldn't have yelled" Will said quietly as he sat on the other side of me. "It's just, I couldn't believe you would forgive him, after everything he did" Will said.
"Will, though it was a mistake, I can't hold him to it. I understand his reasons and as much pain as his mistake caused me, I decided to forgive him because I'm in love with him" I said as I laid my head on his shoulder.
He wrapped his arm around my shoulders in a brotherly sort of way.
"Bells, we heard everything" Alex said softly and I groaned. "And as much as we hate him for what he did to you—"
"We'll give him a chance" Will ended and I smiled hugely.
"Thank you!!" I said as I hugged him tightly along with Mel, Alex and Sophie.
"I'm glad you guys did but what caused you guys to change your minds so quickly?" I asked.
"Well, one, after hearing everything you told Sophie, it seems he really didn't mean you harm, he was trying to protect you. You always said he was way too protective" Alex said and I smiled. "But what impacted us most was Nessie" he admitted and I looked at them in confusion.
"Nessie came to talk to us. She told us to really look at you, and compare you to before. She made us see all the pain had evaporated from your eyes. We realized how these last few weeks, you've smiled and laughed so much. You've been so happy. And in that one second, when you went into his arms, you should've seen your face.
It was stressed but still so happy. Your body melted into his and he wrapped his arms around you so softly and lovingly . . . Nessie made us realize just how much you guys meant to each other" Will said.
"And we weren't going to let him tear our family apart" Mel said added.
"Thank you guys!!" I said as I gave them another hug. "Ness!!" I called and she came running in.
She had changed her outfit though her hair was still crazy as if she had just gotten out of bed.
"Hey, why didn't I get invited to this little pow-wow?" she asked as she walked over while I laughed.
"Thank you" I said as I gave her a hug.
"For what?" she said innocently.
"You know" I said and motioned to Will and all of them.
"Oh, that. Yeah, you're welcome" she said and we all laughed. "Well, if you guys are all done laughing" Nessie said as she suddenly flung a snowball at Will and ran off.
"Come back here you" he said as he ran out after her.
We heard a couple thumps and then Nessie's scream. We all ran downstairs to see Will next to Nessie, his hands vibrating over her ribs.
"WILL!!!!" she cried as she laughed. "STOP IT!! I'M SORRY!!! UNCLE!! UNCLE!!! STOP IT!!!" she begged as tears fell from her eyes.
He tickled her for a second longer before releasing her.
"Oh. My. Gosh!!!" Nessie said as she gasped. "Jeez Will! My sides are killing me" Nessie groaned as she got up. "I'm going to have breakfast" she said grumpily as she stalked off towards the kitchen.
"Smile!" Will said as he touched her sides quickly.
"OMG!!!" She yelled as she jumped.
She tried to smack his hand but missed and ended up smacking her leg.
"I'm going to get you one of these days Will" she muttered as she stalked off again.
I rolled my eyes and followed her, whipping up some quickly French Toast with a strawberry smoothie. Her stomach was growling as I made it and every 5 seconds she would ask me if it was done.
"Done!" I said as I carried the plate and glass to her.
"Yum!!" she said as she went to grab at the food.
"Nope" I said as I pulled it back. "Smile Little Miss. Pouty" I ordered.
She gave me a sarcastic smile and I rolled my eyes.
"Don't make me call Will" I threatened and she challenged me with her eyes. "Will! I need your tickling hands!!" I called.
"What Bells?" he said as he came walking in.
Nessie's eyes got wide. "Okay!" she said as she smiled still a tad bit sarcastic but I could tell she was trying.
"Better" I said as I gave her the food.
"So, what are we doing today?" she asked as she ate.
"You know, we probably should go back and apologize for yelling" Alex said and Will nodded sheepishly.
"Yeah, I'll call him to tell him we plan on coming back" I said as I took out my phone.
I pressed the number 1 and hit call.
"You have him on speed dial?" Will asked incredulously and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Real mature" he said with a laugh and I stuck my tongue out at him again as I walked off.
"Bella?" answered his musical voice.
"Hey, how are you?" I asked.
"I'm great but how are you?" he asked, his tone going worried.
"I'm fine, I was actually wondering if we could stop by"
"Sure, you're always welcome" he said.
"And my family?" I asked tentively.
"Them too I guess, if they even want to" he finally answered.
"Great, we'll be there soon" I said happily.
"Okay, I'll be waiting" he said and I smiled. "I love you"
"I love you too" I answered as I hung up. "Okay, when you guys are ready, we'll go" I said and they nodded.
Nessie finished up and washed her plate of quickly, heading up to finish getting ready. I changed into a more appropriate outfit. When I came down, Nessie was already down. She had on jeans with a long-sleeved purple shirt and a purple scarf. Her hair was loose but had a small purple clip to the side and she had her dark purple boot zipped up over her jeans.
"Ready" she said and slowly, everyone else came trickling down.
"Car or running?" I asked.
"Running they all immediately answered.
"Okay, let's go" I said as I ran out of the house and into the woods.
We all went full speed. Nessie was surprisingly quick for a half-vampire. She probably got it from Edward. She could even beat us when she wanted to. Right now though, she ran alongside with us. We arrived at Edward's house minutes later.
"Come on" I said as I went up to the porch.
I rang the doorbell and immediately heard rustling inside.
"Bella!" Edward called as he opened the door.
"Hey" I said as I hugged him, kissing him quickly.
We walked in, my family trailing behind us.
"Could you call your family for a minute" I asked and he just rolled his eyes.
"They're your family too Bella" he said.
"I know but still, after yesterday . . . " I trailed off and he nodded.
"Guys! Can you guys all come down for a second" he called through the house and everyone came running in from different directions.
"Bella!" Alice greeted happily as she hugged me. "Hi! It's been sooo long" she said and I laughed.
"12 hours" I said laughing and she just shrugged it off.
