I'm Not Some Fragile Flower, I'm A Woman

Jasper's point of view

Later that same day, we were all sitting on the couch, with Bella snuggled up to my side, as Emmett related the story of what Edward pulled at the cafeteria, to Esme & Carlisle, who had just come back from a doctor's meeting in Cleveland.

As Emmett told the story, I could see the disapproval towards their favored son in their eyes. I knew they wouldn't be happy at the stunt he pulled, making a scene like that in front of humans, let alone hurting Bella, someone they both viewed as another daughter.

Carlisle was surprised about the fact that Alice & I weren't mate's, & instead, I was Bella's, we decided to wait a bit, before telling him about Eric, figured that would be to much information at this time, but he took it all in stride, as Emmett finished explaining everything.

He then stared sternly at Edward, who sat in the arm chair, with slumped shoulders, & a deviant expression, as Carlisle said, "Edward, how did you think it was right, to yank Bella from her mate like that?"

Edward scowled at this, & said, "She's not his, she's mine! No matter what any of you say! She just needs to get to be away from Jasper & that other guy she's been seeing, they are both dazzling her."

Bella growled, actually growled as he said this, standing up in a furious huff, her hands placed on her hips as she glared at him, while saying, "What kind of fucking idiot are you?! Are you so fucking dense that you can't see that I loath the ground you walk on? You can't see that I finally see how controlling you were to me? Telling me who I can & can not see? I'M FUCKING OVER IT ALREADY & OF YOU! AS FOR ME BEING FUCKING DAZZLED, IT WAS YOUR FUCKING ASS DOING THE DAZZLING, YOU FUCKING PANSY ASS PRICK!" By the time she was finished, my Bella was red in the face from her anger, her chest chest heaving with her heavy breaths, & couldn't help the desire I felt for her just then. I was so very proud of her, for sticking up for herself, but I did not want Edward getting so angry that he hurt her again, so I stood to pull her in my arms, whispering into her ear that it would be alright, that she wasn't his anymore, as I sent her, the love both Eric & I felt for her, & slowly she began to calm down. She then realized that she had said all of that in front of Esme & Carlisle, & blushed in embarrassment, hiding her face against my chest.

Carlisle just nodded in understanding before returning his attention back to Edward, giving him his own scowl as he said, "Edward, with your behavior the way is, & how you behaved at school today, almost giving us away to the humans in your actions, it saddens me that I have no choice in your banishment of this family.

Bella's point of view

All though I hoped that something would be done about Edward's actions towards me, I was not expecting Carlisle to banish his favored son. I was happy, but saddened that it had to come to this. I knew how much both Carlisle & Esme loved Edward & would miss him terribly.

"Carlisle.." I said from the safety of Jasper's arms, "I...don't want to be responsible for you banishing Edward, I know how much you both love him. I can just leave, & Jasper can come to my place, & we still have school." I felt the tightening in the muscles of his arms as Jasper held me, at my words.

"No, Bella, as much as this pains both Esme & myself, Edward has a great disrespect of what all we have taught him, not to mention that he hurt you, someone who we see as another daughter. That can not go unpunished," he says to me, his gaze filled with tenderness & care as they gazed at me. I nodded that I understood, before he turned back to Edward. "Do you understand why your being banished, Edward?"

Edward just glared defiantly, before standing up, glaring at us all, before storming past us & heading upstairs to hopefully pack.

Once he was gone, Carlisle's shoulders slumped, & even I with no empath ability, I could see the sadness of the slump in his shoulders & expression. I slipped from Jasper to go him, moving to hug him as I said how sorry I was this had to happen. He held me close, his soft spoken words, making his chest rumble, "It's not your fault this happened, Bella, it's Edward's for not wanting to listen to reason. I'm just grateful that you will still be in our family."

I smiled up at him as I said, "Why would leave a family that has been so good to me & ne who I love so dearly?" My words made him smile as he bent to kiss my forehead, causing me to smile at the sweet affection.

Esme then pulled me from Carlisle to hug me as well, her fingers gently running through my hair in a motherly fashion, her words gentle as she spoke, "Carlisle is right, dear, your a part of this family now, no matter who you are with."
