22 - After: Part Nine

Bella knocks on the door gently, looking up from her feet as she hears footsteps. She huffs when she sees Embry. "Where is she?" She demands.

Embry points upstairs and let's Bella in, closing the door. Bella takes the steps 2 at a time and pushes the bedroom door open, crossing her arms. "Blake. It's 2pm. Up."

"No." Blake rolls over and pulls the covers over herself.

Bella pulls them off. "Yes, now. Come on. Swan's don't wallow- okay, maybe we do." Bella says as her sister glares and raises an eyebrow. "But not over this. Not over selfish mom's who cross a line. Flynn said you can't wallow you'll end up in a place that'll lead to another place and we all know mom is just waiting for that."

"I'm. Fine. If I'm in bed then I'm not doing drugs am I, is that not good enough?" She snaps, grabbing the covers again. "Gimme the covers!" She growls as Bella just holds onto them loosely, but Blake tugs as hard as she can.

Bella grins. "Really? Tug of War with a vampire?"

Blake huffs and let's go, just curling up without them. "I don't want them anyway." She snaps.

Bella sighs and lays behind her, tucking her up so she doesn't get cold laid against her. She pushes Blakes hair back and watches her sister. "I know this sucks. I know things were just getting good. But you're okay you're free. Dad will be home later, they just kept him for 48 hour obs. Carlisle said they're actually sick of him so it'll probably be sooner."

Blake huffs and lays on her back, looking at Bella. "Just... Tell me why it's always me. What did I do? Why did you get it all?" She whispers.

Bella smiles sadly. "I dunno... I did have my fair share of drama, I mean come on." She teases. Blake just glares. "Blake Helen, come on. Let's get up, go for a ride."

"I'm not taking you on my bike." Blake rolls her eyes.

"It's fine, I borrowed Jasper's." Bella grins, heading downstairs.

Blake grows curious, but doesn't want to get up. Hmm... Eventually the curiosity grows stronger and she huffs, slamming the door so she can change. She slips jeans on, her boots and a plain white t-shirt, grabbing her leather jacket and helmet before she storms downstairs to make a point.

Embry sips his coffee, leant on the kitchen counter. "She's aliiiive!" He says dramatically.

Blake glares. "I want a divorce."

He laughs and kisses her. "I love you too. Be at the res by 5."

She sticks her tongue out and goes outside, Bella sat on a silver Harley beside her bike. "Jasper has good taste."

"Edward bought it, it was a gift."

"Ew I take it back then. Edward has bad taste." Blake pulls a face, straddling her bike.

Bella rolls her eyes. "Not moving on from that grudge huh."

"We made a deal. We don't like each other but we're cool." Blake shrugs, slipping her helmet on and tucking her hair in. Bella does the same, though her helmet is for show. "Where are you dragging me to then, Isabella Marie?"

"Keep up and you'll see." Bella smirks, kicking the bike to life before she speeds off. Blake scrambles to kick the bike to life before she speeds after her sister, easily catching up. They zig zag playfully, overtaking each other all the time. They're safe, but maybe a little reckless at the same time. Charlie would not like this at all!

Bella turns off onto the highway and both girls act a little more sensible. Blake begins to think they're going to the new house but Bella takes a turning just before it, heading onto a road that looks like something right from an episode of Criminal Minds.
