Twilight Short Stories

Edward - Bella Mishap

   "Wow Edward," Emmett said, walking in and plopping down onto the recliner. "I havent seen Bella around all day, this may be a new record." He clicked through the t.v. channels quickly, searching for anything sports related.

    "She's at Jessica's right?" Alice asked. She had been looking through a fashion magazine next to me.

    I nodded, "She went over last night."

    I tried not to look worried but I could hear their thoughts, and they saw right through me. Jessica asked Bella to sleepover last night, and Bella agreed on behalf of her dad, because he claims we spend too much time together. She hadn't called me once all day though, and it's been dark for nearly two hours. She could have just gone home and crashed.

     Jasper's eyes flickered over to me, and I took my mind off of Bella so that he wouldnt feel my anxiousness. I closed my eyes, trying to relax a little. Well, as relaxed as I can possibly get with voices in my head that are nearly impossible to tune out.

    Cooking channel, mtv, drama, cartoon, disney, commercial, soap opera, scientific documentary. Emmett's mind changed just as fast as the t.v. in front of him did.

     Wow, they are just now selling these handbags? Chanel had those out months ago, they are practically out of style now- OOH those shoes would be perfect for my white laced dress! Alice, of course was thinking about fashion.

    I heard a loud sputtering car turn off the road down our driveway and my eyes snapped open. Bella, I sighed in relief. Alice smiled at me lightly, as I stood up and walked towards the door. Finally, I'm not good at being away from her for any allotment of time, especially when she doesnt call me. Theres so many bad things that could happen to an accident prone human like her, I don't even dare think about the scenarios. Wait. Something isn't right. I stood in the driveway, tense as her truck sluggishly made it's way down. I sniffed the air. That doesn't smell like Bella, but at the same time it does. I smell... alcohol.

     My suspicions were confirmed when she stepped out of the car and nearly fell smack down onto the pavement. Luckily I ran over and caught her, wide eyed and livid. Why is she drunk! Why the HELL was she driving?! Her eyes were unfocused and her system reeked of beer and drugs.

    She laughed absentmindedly as I straightened her out. "Thanks I've think I've gotten it I cans walk thanks." She slurred, pushing me away and walking to the steps. The second I let go of her she tripped again. Being drunk doesnt help the uncoordinated. I carried her inside and didnt let go until I set her on the couch.

    "Shes drunk," I spat.

    "Drunk?!" Alice exlaimed. I ignored my families thoughts as they all gathered in, shocked.

    "Alice, please get a glass of water."

    She nodded walking out quickly. Bella tugged on my shirt and I turned to her.

    "I missed you so I came home the party was great hold me." She mumbled, trying to focus her eyes on me, but failing. Her sentences really arent making much sense.

    "Edward calm down," Jasper murmured.

    I took a few breaths before I pulled her into my lap, turning her towards me. "What party? Listen Bella, try to pay attention."

    "Jess took me to Tylers and a party was there.. Mike and everyone was there wow I cant remember right now."

    I'm going to rip their heads off. "Was their beer? Bella love, did you drink?"

   Her eyebrows furrowed as she played with the collar on my shirt. "Uhhhhh. Oh beer! I think there might have been some beer ok, I'm sorry. I didnt have ANY though not any, really Edward I swear. I was going to leave when I saw it but I felt weird after a while."
