Previously...

I felt the dampness on my shirt.

I wrapped her as tight as I could in my arms.

I lowered my lips to her ears.

"I got you, boo." I whispered.

*precourse*

*course*

"Everything will be ok." I said

"Watch the sunlight peak over the horizon
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
The sun ain't the only thing that's shinin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Now I'ma send you out into the world with my love
Tell everybody, Ay
Everybody
Ay, Ay-ay-ay, Ay, Ay-ay-ay, Ay, Ay-ay-ay, Ay"

Even as the song ended and another one began I still held her in my arms and swayed, letting her cry in to my chest.

My heart had never hurt for anything but it hurt for her.

Esme's POV

I finished up helping my mother with plans for my father's birthday party the next weekend and ran up to my room to freshen up for tonight. I was worried about Isabella. She had seemed so upset and I was thankful Edward could get to her while I was tied up.

Aro was picking me up soon and we were suppose to go to dinner and then the club but first we were going to the apartment so I could check on Isabella.

I quickly changed into a nice cream colored wrap dress and slipped on some gold Louboutins. I ran a brush through my hair, leaving in in loose waves and put on some fresh lipstick. I threw on some gold bangles and hoops to match and grabbed my purse before heading back downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen to grab a water and tell my mother goodbye.

"Figlia mia, sei così bello, così cresciuto." (My daughter, you look so beautiful, so grown up.) My mother said with a mix of happiness and sorrow in her eyes. I was the baby and believe me, you could tell. They had wanted more children but she never conceived again after me.

"Thank you Mama." I said smiling at her.

"What are we thankful for this evening?" Aro asked striding into the kitchen.

"Buona sera Aronni." (Good evening Aronni.) Mother greeted him.

"Anche a te la signora Cullen." (Same to you Mrs Cullen." Aro told her giving her a mega watt smile.

My mother beamed. She loved Aro and my parents were happy with us as a couple. In this life, they knew he would care for me, provide for me, and most importantly, protect me.

"Ma, we must go, Isabella needs me." I told her placing a kiss on her cheek.

"Dare Isabella caro il mio amore." (Give dear Isabella my love.)

"I will. Love you." I said as Aro helped me into my jacket. He placed his hand on the small of my back and lead me towards the front door.

He helped me into the car and we were on our way.

"Do you know what's going on with Isabella?" Aro asked taking my hand in his.

"No, I was busy with Ma but I told Edward we would be there shortly. I hope she is alright."

"He would have called it if was anything too bad. I haven't heard a word out of him since he left to go get her." Aro told me easing my nerves some. He had a point.

It didn't take long to get to the apartment.

My heart warmed when we walked in and I saw my dear brother cradling Isabella in his arms as they danced in the living room until he looked up and I saw she was crying.

I rushed over to her placing my hand on her shoulder.

"Isabella, what's wrong?" I asked.

She shook her head and tried to compose herself.

"It's ok. Do you want to go upstairs and talk?" I asked motioning toward the stairs.

"No, I can talk about it here. Everyone will know soon anyway."

"Let's sit. Aro, please make us some drinks." I flashed a smile at him while I lead Isabella to the couch.

Edward stood there looking lost. I had never seen him unsure of what to do.

He was dressed in blue jeans and a tee with a huge wet spot from Isabella's tears.

Inwardly I did a happy dance. I could see something happening even if he wouldn't admit it yet.

Aro quickly brought us cocktails and I sipped mine while Isabella took a huge gulp.

After a minute, her tears had subsided and she was rubbing her red eyes.

"My parents tell me they are getting a divorce and my mother thinks I am going to live with her, be her fucking paycheck. It just... just makes me so mad. I don't think my father will go against her but I don't want to live with that bitch!"

"Oh Bella, I'm so sorry." I said sitting my glass on the coffee table and wrapping my arms around her.

"I don't know what to do." Isabella said crying again.

"We'll figure something out honey." I cooed in her ear. I couldn't stand seeing anyone close to me upset and from what I understood, Renee Swan was a wannabe status whore.

"I think this calls for more drinks." Aro said mixing up a larger batch.

"Margaritas please." I asked him sweetly. Aro has always been nice to me, but he was being attentive on a whole new level.

"Yes, ma'am." He said with another mega watt smile.

"I''ve got to take some calls. Will she be alright?" Edward asked.

"Yea, thanks for being there for me. I don't want to take up anymore of your time." Bella mumbled against my shoulder.

"Isabella... we'll discuss it later. If you need me, I'm upstairs." Edward said before disappearing. I think he had ignored business altogether until we got here.

My father would have a cow but I thought it was romantic.

Aro sat a picture and two glasses on the coffee table and stood up straightening his jacket.

"I'm going to pick up some food. Everyone has got to be getting hungry." Aro said leaning down to kiss me quickly before leaving.

"Now that we're alone, we'll have some girl time and these will make you feel better!" I said pouring the margaritas into the glasses.

Isabella gave me a small smile and took the glass. She had retired to small sips and that made me feel better. She was already going to feel rough in the morning.

"Want me to call Alice and Rose?" I asked.

"I don't want to ruin their saturday night or yours for that matter. You can still go out. I'll be ok." She said drying her face with a tissue.

"Bella, you're in this group and we take care of our own. Besides, we can go out whenever we like." I told her grabbing my phone to text Rosalie and Mary Alice.

Isabella's parents are getting divorced. Please come to the penthouse. We have margaritas and takeout!

"I'm sure they'll be here before long." I told her putting my phone back down.

Mary Alice's POV

I was laying tangled in Carlisle's sheets listening to him sing in the shower when I got the message from Esme. Carlisle was going to work and I planned on going over there for a little while anyway to hang out before the club.

I quickly texted back I would be there in a little while and got out of the bed. I walked into the bathroom and wrapped my hair in a bun on top of my head.

"Leave the water on, I need to take a quick shower. I'm going to Emmett's apartment to meet with the girls." I told Carlisle right before he was getting out.

"That'll be fun for you love." He said smacking my ass as I stepped into the steaming hot water.

"I have to get going but I'll see you soon kid." He told me placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Think about me." I called after him and quickly began scrubbing down.

I heard the front door shut as I stepped out of the shower. I quickly dried off and slipped on a white sweaterdress and heels. I had never taken my jewelry off so I just had to grab my bag and I left.

I was enjoying all my time with Carlisle but it was getting harder to make excuses as to where I was to everyone. Everyone knew everyone and everyone knew everything. Or at least they thought they did.

My phone buzzed as I pulled up to the apartment.

I smiled as I opened the message.

Think about me kid ;)

Carlisle was something else, and not just because he was next in line the be Boss.

I walked into the apartment to the smell of chinese and a margarita placed in my hand.

"We're having a girls night, to comfort Isabella." Esme said greeting me with a smile.

"Sounds good to me." I returned her smile and walked into the living room.

Isabella was laughing at something Aro said but I could tell where she had been crying. I sat my bag down and walked over to hug her.

"How you holding up?" I asked her looking at her face.

"I'll be ok. It just surprised me so much. Life has been very crazy for me since school started." She said slightly slurred.

How many margaritas had they poured down her throat?

"Take it easy on those drinks. We have mass in the morning." I teased her.

"I do, they just don't take it easy on me!" She shouted, hiccuping.

I laughed. I knew I picked a good one. Even if Aro ended up with Esme.

"So what's the plan?" I asked glancing at her and Esme in pajama pants and tees.

"Well, we're thinking margarita, take out, and movies. You are a little overdressed though." Esme said waving her hand over my outfit.

"I can dress for the occasion." I laughed. "Now get me some pajamas!"

"Yes ma'am!" Esme laughed jumping up to run upstairs. I followed behind her to Aro's room quickly changing into the pajamas she threw on the bed.

"You should text Rose about the attire." I said skipping back downstairs. I had been stressed with all the sneaking around and a night with my girls was just what I needed.

Rosalie's POV

I had just finished curling my hair when Esme and Alice texted me at the same time.

Put on pajamas and get your ass over here! Esme

Prendi questo vestito e vieni! Ally (Take that dress off and come over!)

I had recieved the message earlier about Isabella's parents and was dressing to go out.

Why the hell couldn't they have texted me before I spent all this time getting ready?

Whatever.

I tossed my dress on the floor and put on some blood red silk pajamas and my furry boots.

I picked up my dress and folded it nicely, placing in it my bag along with my heels just in case. I should probably take a couple of outfits to Emmett's for just in case.

I walked downstairs to my father's office where he and Emmett were discussing business.

They both looked up at me questioningly.

"Are you sick?" My father asked.

"Girls night with movies." I replied smiling.

My father didn't like us staying at the apartment but I was almost 18 and I hadn't had a curfew since I got my driver's license.

"Stay out of trouble." He warned while staring at Emmett.

"Yes sir." Emmett and I replied at the same time.

"Emmett, we'll take things up later. Enjoy your night. Look after the girls." My father said dismissing us.

"Bye Daddy." I said blowing him a kiss.

"I was hoping you would sleep in nothing." Emmett whispered in my ear once we were out the front door.

"Maybe I will." I winked.

Once we were on our way, Emmett turned the music off.

"Rosalie, I want o talk to you about something."

I felt the beginnings of butterflies in my stomach. Was he second thinking his decision about us?

"Ok." I said looking over at him.

He grinned at me.

"Don't be nervous babe."

He could read me so well.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Your birthday is coming up soon. You'll be legal in like two weeks."

"I know this. Believe me, I've been counting." I replied.

"As have I. What I want to talk about or say really, is once you're legal I want you under my roof."

I was stunned.

"Rose?" Emmett asked when I didn'y reply.

"Yea? Sorry. What about school? I have to finish." I asked as my mind was realing with all my new questions and thoughts. I was estatic that Emmett wanted this and so soon but I was nervous about how my parents would react.

"You can finish. I just want you close by. I know your father is made but now that we're public that makes you a double target and I want to know where you are and that your safe. Plus, I really want to be able to wrap you in my arms every night without having to sneak into your room. Come on, I'm a grown ass man." Emmett said to me laying his hand on my thigh.

I would love to live with Emmett but would it cause war?

"What you think?" Emmett asked squeezing my thigh.

"I would love that." I smiled at him laying my hand on his massive arm.

"Good. I wasn't giving you an option anyway. You're mine now."

Isabella's POV

I was feeling alot better. The girls had me drunk and dancing. It wasn't as nice as dancing in Edward's arms but still. Aro and Emmett has diappeared into the den with Edward and were playing pool.

Life would be ok. I would get through this. It wasn't the end of the world. Parents got divorces all the time.

I would not live with my mother. I would not. I would fight it if I had to.

After a few pitchers of margaritas we decided to watch a movie.

The Hangover.

How appropriated because that's exactly how I would feel in the morning but tonight I didn't care.

"Babe! Come watch the movie with me!" Rosalie yelled plopping down on one of the big couches.

Emmett jogged into the room and scooped her up.

"Let's watch one on bed." He told her waggling his eyebrows.

"But it's girls night!" She said laughing.

"They've had you all night it's my turn." He whined back.

"Go on girl, get yours!" Alice hollered throwing a pillow at them.

"Goodnight." Rosalie called over Emmett's shoulder smiling at us.

Aro and Edward came in and joined us.

Aro sitting down next to Esme and wrapping her in his arms. They looked so good together.

Edward sat in the middle of the couch I was on after grabbing a beer.

Alice turned on the movie and settled into one of the oversized chairs.

I sat down my half empty glass and wrapped my arms around myself. All the icy drinks had given me a chill now that I was sitting still.

"Here." Edward said pulling the throw off the back of the couch and handing it to me.

"Thanks." I said covering myself up.

He nodded and turned back to the big screen.

We were about halfway through the movie and the sounds of laughter and Aro hollering at the tv were lulling me to sleep. I would start to drift off and lean over when I would wake up.

Edward glanced at me before tugging on my arm. I let him scoot me over next to him.

"You can lean on me. I'll carry you to bed. You know I wouldn't let you sleep on a couch." He joked laying his arm on the back of the couch and sliding down.

I snuggled up next to him and laid my head over on his shoulder.

Right before I dozed off I saw Mary Alice giving me a smug look.

Edward's POV

It felt right to have Isabella in my arms. I didn't want her to leave them. I had to handle this situation quickly. My father was all tore up about the cop thing. It wasn't bothering me any less but I had a plan.

Isabella knew what I was but being around us and being with one of was completely different. Did she want that for herself? Could she handle it?

I had a million thoughts racing through my head and Aro was driving me fucking crazy sitting over there with my baby sister, singing some fucking kid song.

"Edwardo and Isabella sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G-" Esme smacked him in the face with a pillow.

I knew she was my favorite sister.

I gave her my thanks with a look and decided it was time to call in a night.

I snaked my arm under Isabella's legs and picker her letting the throw fall to the floor.

I walked quietly upstairs and laid her on my bed. I had planned on taking a shower but when I let go she reached out and wrapped her slender fingers around my wrist.

"Please don't go." She mumbled never opening her eyes.

How was I ever going to find my balls this way?

I slipped off my jeans and tee and was left in my boxers. I hoped she didn't mind.

I crawled into the bed next to her and she unconsciensly moved closer, snuggling into my side.

I had never cuddled before. Women were good for getting my dick wet and that was it.

Until now.

I wrapped my arm around her and relaxed into the mattress. I laid there for awhile listening to her breath. She had drank so much she wasn't even talking in her sleep.

She laid her hand over on my chest and something in my made me take it into my own.

She looked so small, so fragile laying there.

I just wanted to protect her.

I placed a kiss on her hair.

I would figure out the details later.
