Bella POV
"Go upstairs for a bit, please. I'll call you in bit," I hissed at Emmett when we walked inside. He gave me a weird look and left. "Jazz, can we talk?" I asked, staying by the door. "Uh, sure," Jasper said standing up but staying across the room.
Jasper POV
I stayed where I was and scanned Bella's emotions. She was hurt, remorseful, and a little annoyed. None of the fear I expected her to feel seemed to be there, although I didn't understand her emotions in the slightest. I looked up and saw her standing across the room, looking as though she was waiting for something. Finally, after a long awkward silence, she huffed and stomped over. "I'm not having a conversation with you from opposite sides of the room. Just sit down and don't you dare move until I'm finished. Got it?" she said, grabbing my hand and pulling toward the couch. What the hell just happened? "Got it?" she asked, glaring fiercely at me. "Uh, yes ma'am," I said with a gulp. "Good. Now, I just want to apologize, and I'll be gone. If you want, that is," Bella said. "What? Apologize for what?" I asked, shocked. "For my birthday. I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry. Edward told me how you felt when he… when he left. He said it was like sticking a branding iron down your throat. I'm really sorry," she said, starting to cry. "I didn't mean to hurt you." I heard Emmett growl from upstairs. Why the hell would Edward tell her that? "Oh, Bella. You didn't hurt me nearly as much as I almost did you. You thought I was staying away from you because I was mad?" Bella looked shocked, slowly nodding. "I just didn't want to slip up again and do more damage. I could've killed you." I said, pulling her into my arms. Surprisingly, I felt no thirst, just sadness for the pain I had caused her, and anger for the lies Edward told her. I knew Emmett was pissed too. "You're really not mad?" Bella asked. "Not at you, little sis," I said. I felt her freeze, and worried I'd offended her. Then I felt her joy rush through the room and she tightened her arms around me. "EMMETT GET DOWN HERE!" Bella shouted. He ran down the stairs and Bells waved him over, pulling us into a three-way hug. "You guys are awesome big brothers. I love you so much," Bella said. I couldn't speak, I just held her tighter. "Love you too, sis," Emmett said in a choked voice.
