Blind Sighted

 

It took us roughly ten hours to get back to forks, due to the fact that we were traveling late and there was no traffic.  We got to the house and I parked my car in the garage.

“Edward what are we going to do?  I just know they are waiting on the other side of that door to rip us to shreds” Emmett asked.

“What can we do Emmett, if we don’t go home that will make it even worse.  Do you really want Rose to hunt us down?” I said dryly.

“Good point, but it still doesn’t make it any easier” He retorted.

We slowly got out of the car and headed for the front door, we hesitated just outside when the door opened.

“I’ve been waiting on you guys” Alice said.

“Oh hey Alice” I quickly replied.

“Where on earth did you guys go?” she asked concerned.

“What do you mean where did we go?” I asked confused.

“Well I saw you two driving on the Fork’s highway, then you just disappeared”

“Really! Hmm we must’ve been too close to the Wolves, maybe that’s why you weren’t able to see us” I said with relief.

“So how was your night?” She asked.

“Very uneventful, nothing exciting happened.  We just drove around and talked”

“Well Bella has been calling the house for you, didn’t you have your cell phone with ya?” she quipped.

“Ya I had it with me, but I didn’t feel like talking to anyone but Emmett so I turned it off”

“You turned off your cell phone, what if there was an emergency Edward?”

“Emmett had his on, so if you needed to get a hold of me all you had to do is call him” I said rolling my eyes.

“Well are you going to see Bella in the cottage? Or are you going to keep avoiding her?” She spat.

“Look Alice I’ll go when I’m good and ready to.  I’m not in the mood for rejection right now thank you.  I proposed and she just stood there, and didn’t even say a word.  I thought I had set everything up perfectly, thought it was romantic, but I guess it wasn’t enough for her” I spat and walked back out the door slamming it behind me.

What the fuck did they want from me?  Did Bella expect me to bend over backwards for her, if that’s what she is thinking then she has another thing coming.  I refuse to be treated like this, especially by someone who says they love me.  I turned my cell phone back on and dialed Liz’s number.

“Hey Liz want to go to a movie or something”

“Alright I’ll come and pick you up, we can figure out what to do after that” I said hanging up the phone.

I went to the garage and got in my car.  Fuck this shit! I mumbled to myself as I sped off towards Liz’s place.

I got to her house and called her to let her know I was outside.  She came out and I sped off as soon as she was in the car.

She decided that she wanted to do some shopping before we went to a movie.  I wandered aimlessly with her through the mall as she tried on clothes and shoes, she bought a few things and we went back to the car to put them in the trunk and head for the theater.

“What’s on your mind Edward?  Why aren’t you back at the cottage with Bella?” she asked me.

“I don’t want to talk about it Liz” I spat distastefully.

“Edward we’re friends right?” she asked.

“Of course we are Liz”

“Well I hope you know that if you need to talk I’m here, and I will listen”

“Thanks Liz” I said with a small smile.

We went to the theater and choose a comedy.  It was rather funny and it lightened my mood a bit.

“Thanks for coming with me Liz.  I just needed to get away from my house, Alice is on my ass about Bella”

“No problem Edward.  So what happened?”

“Well I prepared a wonderful breakfast for her with flowers and everything.  I got down on my knee and proposed and she just stood there and said nothing” I said solemnly.

“Oh wow, now I see why your upset”

“Seems no matter what I do, I cannot please Bella.  Maybe I should just move on with my life” I hissed.

“How do you feel about her Edward?” she asked.

“I love her Liz, look at everything I did so we could be together”

“Well then maybe you should be a bit more patient with her, remember she is pregnant and her hormones are going kinda crazy right now”

“Just give her some time, if she loves you like she says she does she’ll come around”

All of a sudden my phone rang, I answered it.

“Hello.  What happened? Yeah, ok I’m on my way now thanks Alice” I said hanging up the phone.

“Something’s wrong with Bella, I’ve got to get back to the cottage ASAP” I said as I sped down the road.

“Shouldn’t you drop me off first Edward?” Liz quipped.

“No there’s no time it sounded urgent Liz, I don’t want to take any chances by stopping”

I floored it all the way to the cottage, I ran in throwing the door open, almost taking it off its hinges.

“Bella!” I yelled running to the living room, Liz was right behind me.

“In here Edward!” Alice bellowed.

I ran to the kitchen and found Alice there with Bella.  There was nothing wrong with her, she looked absolutely fine.

“What the fuck Alice, you had me fucking worried” I spat rushing to Bella’s side.

At that moment Liz walked into the kitchen.  “Is everything alright Edward?” she said as she walked in.

“What the hell is she doing here?” Alice spat with vehement hostility.

Bella looked up at me “That’s a question I’d like to hear an answer for”

“It’s not what you think Bella” Liz quickly said.

“Really then what is it Liz?” Alice said slowly walking towards her.

Liz started to back up slowly; she was just about to step out of the kitchen when Alice grabbed her by the hair, and dragged her across the kitchen floor.

“Alice stop it this instant!” I shouted.

“Why Edward, this bitch has been nothing but a thorn in my side since her skanky ass showed up here in Forks” Alice spat.

I rushed towards Alice and easily grabbed Liz from her grasp. 

“Alice chill, I just needed a friend.  All we did was go shopping and to a movie”

“Ahhh fuck, Edward go get the door” Alice said rolling her eyes.

I took Liz with me to the door, I opened it and there was Jacob.

“Ok who invited the mutt” I spat pinching my nose and turning away from the door.

“HAHA not like you smell any better blood sucker!” Jacob said with utter distaste.

“Look I don’t have time to argue with you Jacob, I’m not in the mood” I spat and walked back to the kitchen, leaving him and Liz standing in awe.

“Ok now would someone tell me what the hell is going on?  Why did you call me and tell me there was something wrong with Bella Alice?”

“Well Edward, you refused to come back to the cottage so it was the only way I could get you here”

“Are you trying to give me a heart attack Alice”

“Hardly not like you could have one anyways, your heart stopped beating many years ago”

“Alice enough!” Bella shouted.

“Alright Bella, I don’t want to upset you.”

“Edward Alice did it for me, she knew you would come if you thought there was something wrong with me” Bella said softly.

“Edward we need to talk, don’t you think?”

“I don’t feel like talking Bella”

“Don’t you want to know the answer to your question?”

“I already know the answer Bella; you made it plain and clear.  Don’t worry I won’t ask again” I said spinning on my heels and leaving the room.

“Then you clearly don’t know me as well as you think you do Edward” she said with a sigh as I walked out of the room.

That stopped me in my tracks “Come again?” I whispered.

“You heard me Edward, if you want to go don’t let the door hit you on the way out” she spat.

I turned back to her “Is that what you really want Bella?”

“No it’s not Edward, but if you’re going to act like a juvenile then keep walking and don’t come back”

I stood there my jaw dropped.  “I can’t believe you just said that”

“Alice could you leave us alone please?” Bella said turning to Alice.

“Of course Bella, and I’ll take the mutt and skank with me” she said while leaving the room.
