Chapter Twelve
"Bella!" I could hear Rosalie calling for me. Why would she be looking for me though? I was sitting by the creek looking out at the water that was glowing from the moon's bright light.
"Bella are you out here?" Rose shouted again. I didn't have the energy to answer her back. I just wanted to sit here.
"There you are." She said standing next me.
"Oh hey Rose." I said still looking out at the water.
"What are you doing out here?" She asked. Her voice was a little harsh. She must know what's going on but I'm not sure.
"Did you need something?" I asked her ignoring her question.
"I don't need anything from you. But your daughter needs you." She sneered. Damn that was harsh. She does know, why else would she be so harsh with me right now.
"You know don't you? He told you." I said not taking my eyes off the water.
"He told everyone. How could you Bella?" She sneered.
"It's none of your business Rose." I replied.
"This is my family so this is my business." She barked back.
"This has nothing to do with you so just stay out of it." I finally looked up at her. The look of anger was all over her face.
"Excuse me? You're about to have Jasper and Edward at war with each other. You are about to break this family apart but you want me to stay out of this?" She spat at me. Her words slapped me so hard. But she was right. I deserved all of this. I looked down.
"I don't feel sorry for you. Instead of cheating on your husband you should be taking care of your daughter." She added.
"Don't you dare bring Renesme into this." I warned her.
"Well it's the truth." She said.
"You don't know anything." I snapped.
"I know you're a cheating whore." She sneered. My jaw dropped. I know Rose and I don't have the best relationship in the world but I never thought she would go this far with me. I got up from where I was sitting. And I looked at her. She stared back at me like she was ready for a fight.
"I won't sink to your level." I said then I turned away from her and started to walk off.
"You could never be on my level. It's too high for you." She said coldly I was walking. I stopped.
"Carlisle wants you at the house. Don't make me come back out here to find you. I won't be as nice." And with that she was gone. She left me there standing, shaking from anger.

I was sitting down and everyone was quiet. Anyone hardly said anything while we waited for Rose to come back from retrieving Bella and on Edward to come down stairs from talking to Renesme. I was tensed and on edge. Alice sat there scrolling on her phone like she didn't have a care in the world it made me sick. Emmett kept shooting me sad looks like he was ashamed of me or something. It made me feel like shit. I heard Edward coming down stairs. He was walking towards the door.
"Edward stop." Carlisle said.
"I said there's nothing for me to talk about." He said coldly.
"No one is leaving until we got this straighten out. So just have a seat." Carlisle said. He really sounded like a father right now.
"This is unnecessary and I don't need this right now." He protested.
"Edward please, just have a seat darling I want to get this fixed before anyone do anything rash." Esme pleaded. And I hated that she had to beg him to stay here. If he wants to leave then go!
"Esme you don't have to beg for him to stay." I said.
"Who was talking to you?" He quickly replied.
"If he wants to leave then let him go." I said ignoring him.
"I bet you would love to see me leave huh?" He said.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" I asked looking at him
"You want me gone so you can go be with my wife again." He said. I couldn't say anything all I could I do was just stare at him.
"That's what I thought. Well, let me get something straight for you, you bastard! That is my wife and I'm her husband. You will never take my place." He growled.
"Are you sure about that dear brother? It's not like she didn't enjoy what we did. Actually, I'm pretty sure she loved every minute of it." I said egging him on. He was quickly in my face and he grabbed me by my shirt jacking me up.
"What did you just say?" He growled.
"You heard what I said." I growled back.
"You two stop this!" Esme called out.
"Edward just put him down, we can talk about this." Carlisle added.
"I should just kill him right now." He said with his nostrils flaring.
"I would like to see you try it!" I said pushing him off of me. He was breathing hard he was so angry. One more bad word and I know that he will snap.
"Just calm down you two." Carlisle jumped in again. The door opened and Rosalie came in.
"What the hell is going on now?" She said.
"Where's Bella?" Emmett asked her.
"She should be on her way now." She said rolling her eyes like she was tired of hearing about her.
"I'm leaving." Edward said heading towards the door. Carlisle quickly moved in front of the door.
"Sit down." He said.
"Carlisle, get out of my way." Edward challenged him.
"I said sit down." Carlisle growled. That was shocking because Carlisle rarely lost his temper. Edward back up I don't think he was going to bark up that tree. He sighed and went to go sit on the couch across from Alice. She just sat there with a smirk on her face enjoying the show we were putting on for her.
"When I said no one is leaving tonight I meant it." Carlisle barked. Edward looked away trying to calm down. I sat on a bar stool on the other side of the room. I hate all of this.
BPOV
How dare she? I was still pissed off by my encounter with Rosalie. I was still shaking from anger. How dare she talk to me the way she did. A cheating whore? I can't believe she called me that. I was on my way back to the main house feeling sick to my stomach. I was not ready for what was awaiting me back at the house. I feel too ashamed to see anyone right now. But I don't want to fight Rosalie in case she did come back out here for me. So I sucked it up and here I'am. I wonder if they were able to get Edward to stay. I doubt it though. He seem like he had his mind set on leaving. I made it to the house and took a huge breath and walked in.
"There you are." Esme called as soon as I walked in. I looked around and everyone was in the living room and Jasper was sitting alone from everyone else.
"Where's Renesme?" I asked softly.
"Oh now you're worried about her." Rosalie sneered. Alice giggled.
"Rose, mind your mouth." Carlisle said. It made me feel a little bit better that Carlisle seem to be on my side.
"She's upstairs and safe. Jacob is up there with her. You have nothing to worry about." Esme said grabbing my hand pulling me from the doorway.
"Please have a seat." Carlisle said.
"Okay." I said softly as I went to go sit on the empty space next to Edward. He didn't even look my way. That hurt a lot.
"Emmett, Rosalie, leave us." Carlisle said.
"But Carlisle -" Rose stared.
"Don't start Rose, just leave." Carlisle cut her off.
"Come on Rose." Emmett said grabbing her hand. And they left upstairs. Rose gave me the death stare as she was leaving the room. I felt so alone. Alice hated and me and now so does Rose. Carlisle sighed and sat down in the big arm chair in the living room. Esme joined him by sitting on the arm of the chair.
"Jasper could you please come join us." Carlisle said gently. He looked hesitant but Jasper came without protesting. He sat down on a couch away from Edward and me and by Alice.
"Now what on earth is going on here?" Carlisle asked. No one said anything we just all looked straight ahead expressionless.
"Carlisle is speaking to you all." Esme said breaking the silence. I sighed.
"I made a mistake." I said quietly.
"Be quiet Bella, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone." Jasper said.
"Excuse me?" I replied looking at him.
"This has nothing to do with anyone but us." He said. Edward snickered rudely.
"You got something to say Edward?" Jasper asked him.
"Yeah, I actually do." Edward said.
"Then say it." Jasper challenged him.
"No one is going to say anything until I get a full explanation on what's going on here." Carlisle cut them off.
"You guys don't need to know, it's none of your business." Jasper replied.
"Jasper what has gotten into you? Have you lost all respect for us?" Esme asked.
"No of course not." He quickly replied. He obviously did not like hurting Esme.
"Then please tell us, what is going on." She said.
"I'll tell you what's going on. I saw it all." Alice finally said something.
"You're telling me that you saw this happening before it all happened Alice?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes I did." She said.
"Why didn't you inform me on this when you first saw this happening?" Carlisle asked.
"Because I thought Bella would have never went through with it. But I guess I thought too highly of her. I thought she was my sister and wasn't capable of causing me that kind of pain but I guess I was wrong about her." I could I feel her staring at me as she said these words. I felt terrible at this point.
"I'm sorry Alice." I said quietly.
"You can keep your sorry Isabella. It means absolutely nothing to me." She replied.
"Alice we are trying to make peace here, for the sake of our coven." Carlisle said. All I could do was look down I couldn't do or say anything else. Everything is such a mess and I just wish I could find some way to f ix them.
"Obviously those two do not care about our coven, because if they did they wouldn't have done what they done." She replied
"Alice it was a mistake! I never wanted any of this." I cried out.
"Bella, again you don't have to explain yourself to no one." Jasper added.
"Stop talking to her like that. She doesn't belong to you." Edward said.
"And she belongs to you?" Jasper asked.
"She's my wife!" Edward exclaimed.
"She's also not a piece of property! You don't own her or speak for her." Jasper replied.
"Aren't you contradicting yourself right now? You're speaking on her behalf. If she wants to explain herself then let her be able to do so." Edward said.
"I want both of you to stop talking about me like I'm not here!" I jumped in. I was angry and tired of this whole situation. I turned to look at Edward.
"Edward, I love you so much but lately you have not been acting like yourself. You're cold and controlling." I said.
"Controlling? How am I controlling?" He asked shocked by what I just said.
"Look at the way you've been treating our daughter! Everything that happened today could have been easily avoided if you actually listened to her. You completely shot her down without even fully listening to her! And you quickly decided on something about her without even talking to me about it first! I'm her mother! My opinion on what she does matters just as much as yours. For you to decide that she couldn't go to high school with Jacob without so much asking me how I felt about it first is controlling Edward!" I said finally venting. I felt so much anger swelling inside of me.
"So you're okay with her going to high school with Jacob? I'm not comfortable with that Bella and you know why! You didn't walk in on them making out I did! So you can't possibly understand how I feel about that situation." He replied.
"You're right I wasn't there to witness that and I'm glad I wasn't! You even overreacted then! Banning Jacob from seeing Renesme because of that was a bit harsh! You know how important she is to him and how he is important to her! But I didn't question nor go against your decision." I said.
"So you're defending him? He's taking advantage of our daughter and you're condoning it!"
"He's not taking advantage of her Edward! He realized that what he did wasn't right and he's sorry about it! He now knows how we feel about them doing that kind of things and he knows not to do it again! You even heard him yourself when he told Nessie that she wasn't ready for sex and that was not something that they would be doing for a long time! All he wants is for her to be happy! I can see that, why can't you?" I yelled.
"He's a guy! A teenage guy at that! His hormones are probably racing and all over the place! You can't honestly believe that bullshit act he put on! He only did that for us. If we send her to the same high school with Jacob who knows what would happen!" He shouted back. Everyone just stared at us quietly. And I'm pretty sure that Jacob, Renesme, Rose, and Emmett could hear us from upstairs.
"This is what I mean when I say you're controlling. This is why what happened between Jasper and I happened. He was there to comfort me when you were being a complete asshole! Come to think about it he was there for me each and every time you decided not to be! I asked you tonight to help me find Renesme when she ran off because of you! But you refused to and you're her father! Jasper is not her father but he was more concern about Renesme tonight then you were." I said looking him dead in the eye.
"I apologize for what happened between Renesme and I. I didn't mean to hit her and I talked to her and told her I was sorry. I'am truly sorry for everything. But having sex with Jasper because we are having problems isn't a valid excuse. And I won't take that." He got up and left out the door. Carlisle called after him but he didn't stop he slammed the door after him. Alice giggled.
"There's nothing funny Alice." Jasper said. She looked over at him.
"Are you happy now Jasper? Is this exactly what you wanted?" She asked.
"Shut up Alice, you don't know anything." Jasper said.
"I do know that you probably made one of the biggest mistakes of your life. Enjoy yourself darling, this is what you wanted after all." Alice said and then she took off upstairs not giving me a single glance. Jasper, Esme, Carlisle and me just sat there in silence baffled by everything that just happened.
"I'm going to go see Renesme." I said softly putting on a brave face to go upstairs. No one said anything as I made my way upstairs but I could feel them all staring at me. The feeling was terrible.
