I arrived at the house very quickly. I wanted to be able to film the drama for Bella, like I promised.

Plus, I kinda wanted to watch Edward get obliterated.

When I got there, everyone was already there and waiting.

Esme and Carlisle sat on the couch, with Emmett waiting on the other end of it for me. I smiled, and sat next to him, resting my head on his shoulder.

On the way to the couch, I discreetly leaned my phone. against the wall on the table and pressed record. I wanted to keep this forever.

Edward and Alice sat next to each other, on the chairs. Jasper was standing in the background, obviously conflicted as to whether he should support someone who was like a sister to him or his girlfriend.

"Ok, now that everyone is here, let's begin," Carlisle said. "We need to discuss the argument between Bella and Edward."

"I already told you," Edward insisted, sounding annoyed, "she was making it all up because she wanted some her info to argue about! I would never do something like that. Do you really believe I would do that, Esme?"

Esme looked startled at being brought into this. "Oh, well... I mean... she did have a point, Edward. Jason is her friend, and you were trying to keep her from him. That's not something a loving boyfriend should do."

Edward scoffed. "Oh please, of course I would do that! How can I know that she didn't used to date him? She is my girlfriend, so I should have a say in where she goes!"

"That's not how it works, shitdick!" Emmett yelled. It was truly touching how much he cared for Bella. As soon as Bella and Edward had their argument, he had gone full-on big brother mode, protecting her at every turn.

"You should let her do things that she wants, not keep her locked in like she's in a jail!"

Edward opened his mouth to retort, but Carlisle cut him off. "That's enough. Emmett, don't call Edward a shitdick. Edward, Emmett has a point. You were being overly possessive. Now, I understand that you grew up in a time when this was normal, but you are over 100 years old now. You should know better."

"Seriously, Carlisle? I'm protecting her! Bella is delicate! If I let her do what she wants, what do you think will happen?" Edward yelled.

"Oh, so you want to talk about what she does on her own?" I interjected. "Well, here's what she's done so far: bought new clothes for her own style, made a new best friend, dyed her hair to feel more comfortable as herself- which you stopped her from doing- and not so much as stubbed her toe."

"She dyed her hair?" Edward growled furiously. "I specifically told her not to do that!"

"This is exactly what we're talking about, dipshit!" I yelled. "You tried to control her, and now that she's free, she's happier than I've ever seen her!"

"But she was so sad when Edward left! I saw it in my visions!" Alice protested.

"Check again, Alice. Is she depressed now? Or is she happy? Living her best life? Because I would be prepared to bet that it's the last one," I retaliated.

"I don't need to. I know I'm right," Alice said smugly.

I groaned, exasperated.

"Let's move on from that," Carlisle interrupted. "We can all agree that what you did was wrong, Edward, and there will be repercussions. But that's not what I wanted to talk about."

Everyone except me frowned at in confusion. I knew what he was talking about though, and I guessed what he was going to say before he said it.

"Rosalie and I visited Bella, and she mentioned that Edward used to sneak into her room and watch her sleep before they started dating."

Esme let out a choked gasp. "Oh, Edward, you didn't!"

Edward's furious stare confirmed that he did. "She said that?" he growled under his breath.

"Yes, she did. And it was true," I growled. This was a majority of why I was mad.

After the reason for my changing, any form of sexism was a trigger for me.

"So what if I did? She's delicate! I was trying to protect her!"

"No you fucking weren't, dumbfuck!" Emmett yelled, standing up in his rage.

He sure could be creative with his insults.

"If you were trying to protect her, you would have waited for some evidence that she needed protection, not just gone from strangers to so overprotective you take away all her freedom!" I yelled at my brother.

Edward's face contorted with anger; I guessed I had hit a nerve.

"You know what, Hale?" he yelled. "You deserved what happened to you when you were changed! I'm not surprised he did it if you acted like this much of a bitch even then!"

"That is enough!" Carlisle yelled, standing up. I but back my retort; I had never seen Carlisle yell before.

Edward looked shocked- I don't think he had seen Carlisle mad before either, even though he had known him for longer than I had.

"You never say that again! Rosalie most definitely did not deserve what happened to her, and neither does anyone else that that happens to!" Carlisle growled.

"I have had enough of you, Edward. I've made my decision; you are going to go to the Denalis and live with them. You will be allowed back once you have fully understood the consequences of your actions, if ever!"

Carlisle paused, and spun around slowly on his heel. "I rarely have the need to act like it, but I am the leader of this clan, and therefore I make the rules. What you did is entirely unacceptable. I can see that I'm going to have to be more strict with rules. That goes for all of you. If anything like this ever happens again, there will be very severe consequences.

He stared us all down for a second, Esme the only exception.

"Understand?" he growled.

I met his eyes, and smiled in gratitude for him defending me.

He turned to Edward sharply. "You will go to school for one more week, so that you can see Bella and truly understand how happy she is on her own. After that, you will go to the Denali's. Got it?"

Edward stared at him for a few seconds, frozen by shock. "Carlisle, I-you can't do this!"

"I most definitely can, and I did," Carlisle growled. "Now go."

Edward didn't waste a second, scrambling up the stairs as fast as possible.

Carlisle sighed. "I'm going to hunt," he said, and sprinted out of the house at vampire speed, leaving us all on shock.

"Hol. Ee. Shit," Jasper said.

That just about summed it up.
