Chapter 4:
(A.N. This chapter will mention suicide attempts and family striking family)
Bella let out a breath she was holding in as Tom and Mina looked over at her in concern. Then they noticed the angry look on her face.
"Who on earth told him I was back in Forks?" Bella asked, irritated.
"I doubt it was Jacob doing," Billy replied, "he hates the Cullens more than he does of you being a vampire. So him telling the Cullen's boy you had returned."
She sighed as she said, "I guess it doesn't matter anymore now."
"I think it does through."
Bella looked at Skinner, who took off his sunglasses.
"Don't you think it's odd Bella," Skinner pointed out, "that whoever told the sparkling boy that you're back, left out that you were married?"
Bella was going to ask what he meant but remembered what her ex was saying about her marriage.
"What did he say?" Orlando asked, clearly invested in what the idiot said.
"He said," Skinner explains, "and I quote, 'It's clearly a fake ring to keep creeps away from her while waiting for me, plus her initials are the same.'"
"Oh yeah!" Charlie exclaimed. "He did say that. I thought it was odd."
"Well it is odd," Mina said thinking about it, "but it does make me wonder who could know that much about Bella and decided to tell the Cullen's boy."
"Well we can rule out Jacob again," Skinner snickered, "that man would relish in telling the walking disco ball that his precious Bella has married someone else."
Everyone either sighed, snickered, or smiled at the fact that it was definitely what Jacob would do the moment he saw Bella's ex. Until Griffin looked over at Charlie.
"Did your arm get stuck again?"
"Right!" Billy said aloud as he turned to Charlie. "Let's get that unstuck."
Charlie grumbled as he followed Billy into the house. The League decided to wait for Sam to come so they can explain whatever just happened.
-With the Cullens-
"Carlisle please listen to me," Edward said as Carlisle kept his attention on Alice, Jasper, and Emmet as they explained what happened when they saw Bella again. Rosalie was on the computer looking up something.
'Probably looking at clothes and makeup,' Edward thought annoyed, 'she'll definitely be upset when Bella comes back into the family, since she doesn't want me to be happy.'
"Bella is in trouble," Edward continued, "these three traitors left her in the wolves' territory with a band of monsters."
"You mean her teammates?" Esme asked angrily. "If you stuck around to listen to Sam you would've heard that those monsters are people she works with."
"We can't trust the wolves," Edward countered, "they hate all of us, but they don't attack us due to the treaty we still have with them."
"Hah!" Rosalie laughed from where she was sitting. "Of course they hate us. We make a few of them transform into giant wolves whenever we come to live here, so imagine what an army of Newborns and a crazy chick did to a lot of their people."
"And what's this about Alice, Jasper, and Emmet being traitors?" Carlisle asked very calmly, but the air around him made Edward take pause. He finally looked at his first family member, which made Edward step back.
"T-they-" Edward stammered a bit, "they didn't help convince Bella to come back to us after lying about her marriage-"
"She isn't lying," Rosalie butted in, "there's literally a news article about her marriage to a mister Tom Sawyer from 2010. Plus we already just heard how you wanted her to divorce the 'cowboy'."
'Okay,' Edward thought, 'I guess I can't hide behind the lie about marriage then.'
"But then they dragged me away!" Edward exclaimed. "If any of you cared about Bella you would have-"
SMACK!
The room was filled with gasps and a 'holy shit!' Carlisle had just smacked Edward across the face. Him, Carlisle's first companion.
"C-Carlisle�"
"If any of us cared about Bella," Carlisle repeated coldly, "we do care about her when you brought her here as your girlfriend. We cared about her when James decided to hunt her and when he injected her with his venom. We cared about her so much about her when YOU lied to us in order to make us leave her behind! We have been worried about her ever since you left us as well!"
"Then you should have gone back for her then," Edward huffed.
"How?!" Carlisle growled out, casually Edward to jump. "You kept trying to kill your self or nearly exposing us at the drop of the hat over the years!"
"Well these four could've done it when they left this family!" Edward yelled. "They haven't been with us for the last sixteen years! And now they all have finally decided to slowly come crawling back a year ago!"
"Because you kept snapping at them until living with us was too much for them," Carlisle pointed out frustrated, "and then you kept running off to keep yelling at them for being 'disgraces to the family name', it took us all those years of pleading for them to come back."
"Then do the same to Bella!" Edward roared. "DO THIS FOR ME SO YOU CAN FINALLY BE FORGIVEN FOR TURNING ME!!"
The room went deathly quiet after Edward said that Edward looked shocked while Carlisle looked hurt by his words. Then Carlisle's face became devoid of emotion and Edward couldn't read his mind at all.
"Alice," Carlisle asked in a level, but caring, tone, "when does Bella's team want us to meet?"
"They didn't say," Alice said as Jasper stood protectively at her side, "but they would still be at Billy's place and Billy is going there."
"Then please call Sam and arrange a time for all of us to meet," Carlisle said, "and once it is over, I want you out Mr. Masen."
"What?" Edward asked as his eyes widen in shock. "What do you mean?"
"I want you out of this house," Carlisle explained coldly, "out of Forks, and out of this family. After this meeting you are no longer a part of this family, so you can happily or unhappily do whatever the hell you want."
Carlisle then turned and left the house. The entire family were statues until Esme snapped out of it first.
"I'm going to go hunt with him," Esme said quietly, "Alice if you can please set up that meeting while we're away?"
"Okay Esme," Alice replied, "let's go Jasper."
Esme followed her mate while Jasper followed Alice to his study. Emmet and Rosalie were the only ones to look at Edward, but they had disappointed looks before going after Alice and Jasper.
All that was left was a shocked Edward.
