Chapter 11
Alone and Betrayed
BPOV
Monday was a bitch!
I left to see my mom tomorrow, I haven't spoken to Edward since that night, 2 weeks ago.
I ignored my brothers for the past 2 weeks as well, my dad didn't notice, he was at the station most of the time, short on officers.
Alice and Rose had forgiven the guys and those 4 hung out all the time, I just ignored them, Alice kept trying to talk to me and trying to get me to forgive her brother, telling me that he was tore up over the fact of what he's done, I told her to stay out of it, we got in huge fight and I told her to tell Edward he didn't need to show up at the airport the day of the trip, to just rip up the ticket, he wasn't welcome. She had sighed at that, but promised to pass it on, that was the last time we talked, that was a week ago, she ignored me when she was at my house and I of course didn't go to hers, Rose always said 'hi' to me and gave me a sad look, but I knew who's side she was on!
I talked to James a few times during the past couple of weeks and set up a date when I got back from Florida. I could hear the smile in his voice, I told him I'd call him from Florida.
Emmett and Jasper had overheard that conversation, which was intentional, I sat on the front porch talking to him, on the home phone, not my cell.
"What the hell? You're already dating someone new Bella?" Emmett boomed.
"No asshole, it's just a friend and we're just going to the movies when I get back from Florida. I'm not ready to date seriously now, thanks to your asshole of a friend!" I screamed and ran inside to my room.
I threw myself on my bed and cried. About 20 minutes later, my bed shifted and I looked up to see Jasper.
"Look sis, what we did was wrong and I'm meeting him this afternoon to get the extra ticket from him, want one of us to go with you to Florida?" He asked hopefully.
I shook my head no and he sighed.
"Jasper, you know it would be awkward, she doesn't even want me there for the week, how would it be if the son she left so many years ago showed up? She'd be pissed!" I sighed.
"Well, I'll drive you to the airport and as for when you get back, talk to Edward, he is really sorry for what he did. And the whole James thing, not going to happen!" he grimaced at me.
"Jazz, FUCK YOU! I thought you were being all sweet and caring and now, it's something different,
I will go out with whomever I want to go with, thank you very much and don't worry about wasting your time tomorrow! I've already got a ride!" With that, I shoved him out of my room and locked my door, I threw stuff in my suitcase and finished packing, I closed my suitcase and sat down on my bed in a huff, I picked up my phone and dialed.
"Bella!" James said.
"Hey James, um, I was wondering, about going out, would you like to get pizza or something tonight, I can't stay out late because I have to leave out early tomorrow for Florida." I held my breath.
"Yeah! Give me 20 minutes, I'll pick you up!" he was smiling again.
"O.K., I'll see you in a few." I hung up and went to fix my hair and add some light makeup and gloss.
I ran out the door, to wait for James, sure enough, I finished in time, we were backing out of the drive way when Emmett walked out and gave James a dirty look, I just smirked and settled in.
We arrived at the pizza place and were talking, getting to know each other a little, when the door opened loudly, I looked up and groaned, I whispered to James 'please keep your cool, it's about to get hot in here'. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek, right as those green eyes bore into mine as did all of there eyes, Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett, who of course approached the table, I just kept giving James a smile.
"So, this is where you and him went, at least I can keep an eye on you now!" Emmett spoke.
He motioned for everyone to sit at the table next to ours, Alice shot me a dirty look and I looked up at her with sadness in my eyes, I can't believe she was taking his side!
James and I sat in uncomfortable silence and finished our pizza, he kept giving me little smiles and I'd reply back with a smile of my own, knowing those green eyes were staring at me.
Thankfully their pizza was just getting there when our check was, so we paid and left, not saying anything to them, James put his hand on the small of my back to guide me out and I heard 3 chairs fall to the floor, I turned to look around and I gave my brothers the 'I dare you' look and again, neglected the green eyes staring at me.
I grabbed James' hand after that and kissed his cheek as we walked back to his car.
"Thanks James, I'm sorry about the show back there, my brothers are assholes!" I smiled.
We rode back to my house and surprise, my dad was just pulling in, he looked confused when I was stepping out of Nissan Pathfinder, instead of the Volvo he was use to seeing.
"James, I want to introduce you to my dad, it'll be good timing, since my brothers aren't here." I said before getting out of the truck, he smiled nervously.
"Hi daddy! I haven't seen you in days!" I gave him a big hug. "I want you to meet someone."
"Dad, James/ James, Dad or Police Chief Swan Actually." I smiled.
"nice to meet you sir." James said respectfully.
"Just call me Charlie, James" my dad said.
James held out his hand and gave a nice firm shake, my dad cracked a smile.
"Well Bella, I know you've got an early flight tomorrow, I'll call you during the week. O.K." James said.
"Oh Shit!" Charlie shouted.
"What's wrong dad?" I asked.
"I've got to work until 10 in the morning, I'm just coming home to shower and eat quickly before going back, I can't take you and Edward to the airport. Maybe Car…" I cut Charlie off.
"Dad, there is no more Edward, we broke up 2 weeks ago, I'm going by myself." I replied.
"Oh, sorry princess, I've been working so hard, I didn't know. You O.K.?" he asked.
I smiled at James, I will be.
Right then, asshole one and two appear.
"James, thanks for everything, I had a good time tonight." I kissed his cheek, he did the same.
"Hey, you need me to give you a ride?" James asked.
"No, we'll be doing that!" Jasper said with venom.
"Well, I'll call you later Bella, night." James said.
I waved and stomped inside and slammed the door.
"BELLA!" my dad yelled.
I stopped half up the stairs and turned around, tears already streaming.
"Family Meeting!" dad bellowed.
We all sat at the table.
Dad and Emmett at the head, Jasper and I across from one another, glaring at each other.
"What the hell has happened that Bella is not with Edward and that you two are acting like overprotective assholes!" dad yelled, I smiled at the last part.
Emmett started "2 weeks ago we went to Seattle and made Edward go with us, well we were pretty drunk (yes dad we had fake I.D.'s, sorry) Edward found a little hottie and was all over her, Bella caught them in the act, in Denny's."
Jasper finished "Bella overreacted and won't listen to him or us, he loves her, he was just drink, he can't handle his liquor, it happens every time he drinks." he stated flatly.
I was crying so hard, I couldn't focus.
"You 2 are on house restriction for 2 weeks, no Rose and no Alice, the only time you won't be home, is if you're at practice and seeing as it's the beginning of summer, there is none. No phone calls, hand over your cells. Actually Emmett, you'll give me yours tomorrow, you'll need it on the way to the airport, you're driving Bella in the morning, as I have to work another long shift. I'll swing by on patrol and pick up the phone. I will stop by and see if you're alone and trust me if you brake my trust, both of you will have your vehicles taken away. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior and to have it affect your sister!!!!" Charlie sighed and mumbled 'damn boys, gonna choke 'em, fake ID, Chief of Police' while headed to his room to dress.
I walked to my room and slammed my door, setting my alarm and falling asleep fully clothed.
My alarm went off too early, I went to shower and dressed.
I wore a blue tank top, with my white hoodie over it and a pair of skinny jeans and white Converse.
I put a little gel in my hair, not bothering to straighten it, knowing once I landed in Florida, it would frizz out.
I grabbed my bag and purse and ran down to the kitchen, grabbed a granola bar and juice, ate it quickly and waited for Emmett to come down.
They'd talked to dad and Jasper was coming as well, so we could 'talk', I had nothing to say.
"Bells, we're sorry!!!" they said in unison.
"Whatever, just get me to the airport, I need to be away from you guys for a few days." I shifted in my seat and text James…
"Bells, listen, we're truly sorry, this is affecting everyone now… Alice is pissed at me, especially now that were on house 'arrest' for 2 weeks and I can't even talk to her and her and Edward are fighting, she keeps trying to tell him he needs to contact you and try apologizing, instead of waiting for you to come around, because we all know how stubborn you are. And we miss hanging out with our little sister, I can't stand to see you crying day after day. Maybe this week will give you time to cool off, rethink things." Jasper finished.
I sighed and took a deep breath "I'll think about things while I'm gone and if I do forgive you assholes, maybe dad will let a week be enough punishment… No promises though, ya'll fucked things up good this time. And as for Edward, that is a done thing, not going to happen, he cheated 3 times, how will I ever trust him? I can't, I love him so much and the way he looked last night, I wanted to run into his arms and kiss him and just stay there forever, but then I see him with his tongue down another girls throat!" I let out a sigh and tried not to cry.
"Bells, it'll be o.k., it'll all work out, just think about what we said for our own good, we want you with the group, we love you and Alice misses you dearly, she hasn't shopped since your fight, you know? She was excited about you guys shopping for Florida and it didn't happen and so she's kind of on shoppers strike, Carlisle likes it, saved him some serious dough, but he knows his little girl is miserable, so he's not happy." Emmett smiled at me.
I smiled back.
"Just drop me in the front guys, no need to park, I'll be fine." I stated.
"O.K., call us with your landing times and we'll pick you up." Japer said.
I smiled and said "O.K., be good and we'll see what happens when I get home."
I hugged both of them and went to check in.
After, I made my way to Starbucks and a little shop, to buy snacks for the long ride as well as 2 bottles of water.
I made it to the gate and waited 35 minutes for my plane to board, I passed the time with Jane Austin.
When we boarded, I buckled up and took my window seat, knowing that the other seat would be empty, I put my purse in it and continued to read.
Right before the plane was going to take off, I heard a breathless "I think this is my seat", I looked up and into his green eyes, I was hurt, fuming and in love all at he same time…
"I thought Alice told you to shred the ticket and Jasper asked about it and you said you did!" I accused.
"Well, I thought about it and I was about to, but then it hit me, if I did that, I'd miss a whole week with you and not be able to show you how truly sorry I am, now, I think this is my seat, can you move your purse please?" Edward smiled.
I huffed, grabbed my purse and turned in my seat to glare out the window.
Half an hour into the flight, Edward couldn't handle the quiet treatment any longer.
"Bells, look, I am truly sorry, I can't handle my liquor and your brothers knew that, I wanted to call and tell you, but they hid my phone and then in Denny's it just happened." he put his head down.
"Edward, you were that way in the club as well, your hand was up her fucking skirt and you didn't even notice me on the dance floor! I got dressed up for you, not for James or whatever guys I might have met that night, do I regret going? No, James has become a good friend, he's going to be a Police Officer and Charlie likes him, might hire him if he's in the top of his class." I kinda smirked at the end and I was trying to keep my voice in check too.
"Bells, really, I want you to have this still." He held out my promise ring. I got bitter.
"What so you can promise to cheat on me for a 4th time! Do I have stupid written on my forehead!" I whispered.
He grabbed my hand and forced the ring on, holding it there and then kissing it. "This is where it belongs, not on any other girls finger, I don't want any other girls, I just need to stay away from the booze!" he laughed at himself.
"Look, we'll 'pretend' to get along this week, because Renne' doesn't know a thing, but once we're back on this plane, you're taking your damn ring and your stupid smile and leaving me alone, do you understand? I am not ready to be with you now." I sighed loudly again.
He gave me his crooked grin and said "Sure, Bells, whatever you say." then he leaned over and kissed me softly on the lips, lingering for a second and then pulling away and going to sleep with a smile on his face!
I continued to read, waiting for the long ass flight to end.
