The Joke

Alice, Jasper and I sat on her bed in her room. Alice had stolen me for three days, making sure Edward knew nothing. Soon, I would be going to see him again, I truly missed him. The family was gathered in the living room as I walked down the stairs without tripping. Everyone looked surprised when I appeared. My face was turned downwards.

“Heya, Bella!” Emmett called to me.

“Hi Emmett,” I said looking up.

Jasper manipulated the motions in the room to panic.

Edward sucked in a breath, and his face contorted into fury.

“Jasper!” Edward hissed.

“It was an accident..” he mumbled.

Carlisle shook his head, and Esme just looked worried.

My red eyes studied them. Suddenly I grinned and leaned down.

I bounced over to Edward and placed his hand on my still beating heart.

He relaxed. “Don’t scare me like that,” he murmured. “It’s not good for my heart.”

I snorted.
