Chapter 25: Party Part Two

Edward’s POV

I couldn’t help but smile as I watched Jasper and Emma walk outside. I really hope that he is going to tell her about his feelings. Even with only technically having Emma as my sister for almost a month, I can already tell that Jasper will be the one who can have the most impact in her life. He knows exactly what it takes to make a rape victim open back up – well him and Emmett both. I just hope that he was finally going to come clean about his feelings to her. And hopefully that doesn’t scare her away.

“Do you think that they are going to become an item?” Bella whispered as she curled against me, as we sat on the loveseat in Tanya’s living room. She had been watching Emma and Jasper as well.

“Who knows? But I know that Jasper likes Emma.”

“I can tell.”

I smiled at Bella softly as I gently pulled her tighter to me. As I did, I gently placed a kiss into her hair. But just as soon as she had been pulled close to me, she pulled away. “I gotta go pee,” she said standing up and moving towards one of the various bathrooms that were in Tanya’s house. “I’ll be right back.”

I nodded and watched her head out of the room. Part of me had wanted to go with her, to make sure that Tanya didn’t corner her or anything. But part of me just wanted to sit and wait for her to come back. I decided that I would go with the later. We had avoided Tanya for most of the night, so perhaps she was simply busy.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Alice practically come running into the room. “Edward! You’ve gotta come quickly. Emma’s having a panic attack!” she hissed at me.

Not good.

I stood up and followed Alice to where Emma was sitting outside on the large porch with Emmett, Rose, Ian and Jasper all around her. Emma had her good knee pulled up to her chest with her head laying on it. Emmett and Ian were standing protectively over her while Jasper and Rose sat on each side of her. Jasper had his arm wrapped around her, whispering something to her, while Rose was simply rubbing her arm – trying to keep her calm.

“What happened?” I asked kneeling next to them.

“Emma and I were walking back into the house from the back when she saw a picture sitting on a table. She stopped to look at it them her entire body went rigid. I asked her what was wrong and she simply asked me to take her home, but there was pure terror in her eyes. She was setting back down the picture, when Kate walked by. She mentioned something about one of the guys in the picture being her cousin who was in jail and that her parents were out of town to get him. He was being released for some reason that I didn’t catch. That was when I noticed Emma start to hyperventilate after Kate had walked away. I brought her back outside to get some fresh air when I bumped into everyone else.” Jasper quickly explained as he looked up from whispering things to Emma. “She keeps saying something over and over again in I think German or something. But what, I dunno.”

Rose moved out of the way, so I could sit on the other side of Emma. I leaned close to her and heard her muttering something. I looked up at Rose. “Bella was in the bathroom. Can you go find her and tell her that we need to leave, please?”

“Sure,” Rose said disappearing into the house.

Once Rose was gone, I looked back at Emma.

“Ik weet dat hij haar neef is! Ik weet dat hij is! De afbeelding had hem en de anderen samen met haar! Zij vertelde mij zichzelf dat hij van gevangenis vroeg ontkomt! Het is vaar niet! Het is vaar niet!!!” she kept saying over and over again.

That is definitely not German. But I think it’s like Dutch.

“Emma, we can’t understand you,” I whispered to her.

“So chef è suo cugino! So che è! L'immagine l'ha avuto e gli altri con lei! Sé mi ha detto che esce dalla prigione presto! Non è giusto! Non è giusto!!!”

Ok another language. Not sure what this one was. “Still can’t understand you.” I said again.

“Je sais qu'il est son cousin ! Je sais qu'il est ! L'image l'a eu et les autres avec elle ! Elle m'a dit se qu'il sort de la prison tôt ! Ce n'est pas juste ! Ce n'est pas juste ! ! !”

Ok that was French. I glance up at Alice, who shrugs her shoulders. “She said it too fast for me to catch,” Alice said.

“How many languages does she know?” I asked Ian.

“She fluent in Spanish and French. But she knows bits and pieces of Russian, Italian, Dutch and German.”

Great. This could take all night. “Ok Emma, tell it to me in Spanish and tell it slowly.” I said. Hopefully I could understand poart of what she was saying.

“¡Sé que él es su primo! ¡Sé que él es! ¡La imagen lo tuvo y el otros junto con ella! ¡Ella me dijo que ella misma que él sale de cárcel temprano! ¡No es justo! ¡No es justo!!!”

Ok I caught something about Kate’s cousin and something not being fair. She still had said it too fast.

“What about her cousin?” Ian asked. He had caught almost the same words that I had.

She simply looked up at him and somehow he knew.

“Oh God,” he whispered.

“What?” Emmett asked.

“We’ll tell you on the way home. But we’ve got to go now. Jayme and your parents need to know this.” Ian said.

Jasper and I helped Emma up and we all made our way back inside, carefully avoiding any crowds. Part of me wanted to go find Rose and Bella, but part of me wanted to stay close to my sister.

“I’ll go find Rose and Bella,” Alice said almost reading my thoughts.

Thank goodness for my friends and family.

Rose’s POV

It didn’t take me long to find Bella. I simply had to look for where the most commotion was coming from.

“You simply have all of them wrapped around your little finger,” Tanya snarled. “All because your father was killed. But I see right through you. You simply want to have Edward all to yourself. You may say that you love him, but you don’t. If you did you wouldn’t have run off to another country. I was here picking up the pieces of his broken heart. He and I were almost an item. Then as soon as you come back he runs right to you.”

Bella was backed into a corner where Tanya was going at her with vengeance. A small crowd had formed around them. And I could see tears beginning to form

“What do you have that I don’t? I mean for the two weeks that you’ve been back at school you’ve probably gained like 10 or 20 pounds. Oh well, as soon as Edward realizes that you are nothing but a fat whale, then he’ll come running back to me.”

Oh that was the last straw. Tears slowly began to fall down Bella’s cheeks as she sunk down to the floor. Tanya spun around with a smirk on her face.

But that smirk wasn’t there for long.

As soon as she had spun around, I back handed her across the face. It was a move that Alice had taught me.

“No one deserves to be fucking treated like that.” I spat at Tanya as I shoved past her shocked frame that was stumped over from the stinging on her face.

I helped Bella up and we quickly left, but not before several of our classmates began cheering for me. I smiled on the way out.

Tanya wasn’t as popular as she thought. Serves her right.

AN #2: What Emma was saying was this: ‘I know he is her cousin! I know that he is! The picture had him and the others along with her! She told me herself that he is getting out of jail early! It’s not fair! It’s not fair!!!’ – she said it in Dutch, Italian, French and then Spanish.
