So summer just ended and school just began. Senior year, yikes. I was excited and yet scared and nervous all in one. Prepared though. I've always been a B and A+ student. Except when it came to gym class and certain things in science. I'm a major klutz, and me plus blood equals a horrible time for me.
My summer was spent with my best friends, Alice and Rosalie. Me and Rose went way back to diapers. While me and Alice only met at the end of my Junior year, we were inseparable since then. Alice even got me and Rose a job as a waitress for The Bloated Toad. The restaurant favored by most of Fork's High students. Big hangout spot with cheap food but people would rather eat there than work there, so Alice had no big problem with getting us jobs. It was hard for anyone to tell the beautiful pixie no.
So boyfriend? Yeah I have one. Jacob Black. We've been together for almost a year. Not the best relationship in the world. He had a big temper problem. And around the seven month mark he started arguing and yelling and even throwing things. Our fights were always over small petty things, such as his big jealousy issue with any guy I spoke to besides Charlie, my dad. And our fights usually ended in me crying and apologizing for fear of it becoming physical, just taking the blame to end it. But I'm sure he loves me, so I won't leave him.
Alice and Rose insisted I find another boyfriend. But I was so sure I loved Jake and he loved me, why split? 'Just a bump in the road.' Was always my excuse.
My alarm blared through my room instantly pulling me from my comfortable slumber. I hit the button and sat up, my hair in tangled knots. Stretching and groaning as I looked at the clock I got out of bed and went to my usual school morning routine. Quick shower, brush teeth and hair. Make up? No way. Only when Alice made me when we'd go out to underage clubs or movies or whatever.
I glanced at the calender, September 6th it was. My 18th birthday was coming up soon. September 13th and I couldn't wait! I was so excited, I mean I hated the thought of getting older and the way Alice went way overboard with any type of celebration as well as I hated getting gifts. But it was still something good for me, because I was still alive. As I said before, I'm a total klutz and the fact that I made it through another birthday was a big accomplishment for me.
I dressed into a pair of faded jeans and a dark brown plaid button up shirt and let my hair down only putting a band to keep it from my face. My phone went off letting me know I had a text. Two. One from Alice and one from Jacob.
Hey Bells! Hope your awake, sleepy head. Tee hee... anywho! Meet me at your usual parking spot, okay? And btw, WE'RE SENIORS! - Alice
I smiled and rolled my eyes, texting back a simple 'okay, meet you there. :)' I bit my lip as I opened Jacob's text.
Bells, I wanna see you after school pronto. And watch out for other boys. I'll be waiting, 3:10 sharp. - Jacob
Rolling my eyes I didn't even answer that one. He was so controlling, possessive almost. But I wanted badly to look past that and see the good I knew was there. The good that made me like him in the first place. I shoved my phone into my pocket, grabbed my gym bag and keys and made my way downstairs where Charlie was standing in the kitchen looking half asleep drinking a mug of coffee.
"Mornin', Bells." he mumbled.
"Morning, dad. Say, we got any pop-tarts? Alice wants me to meet her."
"Ah, yeah over there. Huh, no morning breakfast for me?" he asked with a chuckled. I smiled shaking my head. He really needed to learn to cook for himself. I wouldn't be here forever. Though lately him and Sue Clearwater have become rather close over the summer. I thought they were dating and dad was waiting for the right time. Oh well, as long as he was being taken care of.
"Tomarrow, maybe. Gotta go, bye." I said stuffin them into the side pouch of my gym back as I made my way out the door and to my truck. I tossed it into the passanger and walked around to the driver side, hopping in and starting it up. Roaring to life, I smiled that my old as hell truck still worked, and was off.
I pulled into my usual spot and got out of the truck, slinging my gym back over my left shoulder I leaned against my truck as I waited for Alice. I texted her, saying that I was waiting and got a response right away saying 'one minute'.
True to her word, Alice pulled up only about a minute later parking right next to the passanger side of my truck. I began to walk around to meet her when I noticed something different today, three other people got out of the car with her. Not Rose, nor Alice's boyfriend, Jasper. Hmmm...
EPOV
"Edward! Emmett! Oh my god!" Alice screeched running to us at the airport. She ran at full speed right into my waiting arms, hitting me hard. I chuckled and hugged my crazy sister back, and watching as she hugged our older brother, Emmett. We'd stayed all last year in Denali with Emmetts mother. He hadn't seen her in a few years, and While Carlise was all of our father, Esme was only me and Alice's mother. Emmett the outcome of a drunken night. Probably why he was such a weirdo, but we all love him. And Esme treated him just like me and Alice, he even called her mom. She pretty much was, she'd been in his life more than his real mom.
"Hey, Alice." I said with a smirk. She'd begged and begged and finally got us to come home. Of course I missed my parents, but it was so much fun in Denali to be quite honest. But I did miss Forks. "I told you we'd be back to graduate together." I said with a grin.
"I know, and you'd be doing it regardless. Even if I had to fly up there and drag the two of you back." she said.
"Hey, technically I already graduated." Emmett said. Alice giggled.
"No, you were supposed to have already. Not our fault you got held back freshman year." she said.
"Oh shut up!" Emmett laughed.
"Bro, she's right. Frosh for two years? That must've blowed." I said with a laugh. This was a typical reunion for us. And picking on Emmett for havin been held back in freshman year after failing four classes. Me and Alice were twins, looked nothing alike, but twins and rather close though a little space was nice once in a while from my hyper as hell sister.
A throat cleared behind me and I stopped, swallowing I turned and slung my arm around my girlfriend, Tanya. We dated before me and Emmett left, and she came up to Denali with us for our final week and flew back. Alice never liked her, and Emmett at least tried. Tanya wasn't the worlds nicest girlfriend.
"Oh, hey Tanya." Alice said with a smile, though the bitterness in her voice was evident. "Nice to see you again."
"Sure." Tanya said with the same amount of bitterness, and tugged on me. "C'mon, Eddie. I'm tired from the flight." she said. I sighed and nodded, and we all headed for Alice's car.
We all got back to my house to big hugs and kisses from Carlise and Esme. It was about 10:45 at night, Tanya was still with us, going home soon though because we had school the next day. We actually planned on returning home a week earlier, but Tanya suprised me with her coming in and fought like crazy for us to stay at least a week because she spent the money. I didn't fucking make her, but whatever. We had no choice. But we already phoned Carlise and Esme and they enrolled us back into Forks High.
"God I've missed you, Edward. Emmett." Esme said, almost in tears.
"Missed you too, mom. Dad." I said, and Emmett hugged them both in his big bear hug.
Carlise was the only one to notice Tanya, everyone else so engrossed in our arrival. Esme and Alice taking our things upstairs. "Hello, sweetie. How are you? Did you enjoy it up there?" he asked.
"Eh, could've been better. Just needed to see, Eddie." she said. Ugh, I hated it when she called me Eddie. Emmett was usually the only one who could get away with calling me that. And no matter how many times I complained, she wouldn't let it up.
Charlise noticed my frustration. "Well that sounds, er, good. You should be headed home, right? It's late and I'm sure you both must be tired." he said. Thanks, dad.
"Well actually, my parents aren't home." What!They so were! She called and let them know the minute we landed in the airport, and told them she'd be home tonight. I knew what this meant. I'd hardly be sleeping tonight. Tanya, never let me rest. She was sex sex sex all the time, and she'd usually never let me finish. I lost my virginity to her, and though it was awkward at first, that was the only good sex I remembered having with her.
"Oh. Well I'm sure Edward wouldn't mind you staying the night. Head off to bed you two, school bright and early." he said, giving me a quick sorry glance, he walked off. Thanks a bunch, dad...
"Your dad is so nice. So, to your room, baby?" she asked biting her lip. My stomach churned. I just was not in the mood. I was tired but, telling her no was a big big mistake.
"Okay, but babe I'm not in the mood for anything tonight." I said, nearly flinching from her. i was surprised when she smiled. "Oh honey, that's fine. I know you are, you look it. We can go right to bed, I'll even massage your aching shoulders for you from carrying that heavy luggage." she said.
I smiled and nodded, taking her hand and pulling her to me. "I love you, y'know that?" I said with a smile. She nodded and we kissed quickly then headed upstairs. This women was something. She got under my skin so easily, but when she was nice.. genuine. I just couldn't stay mad at her. She had me in the spell and it was like impossible to get out of. And shockingly so she stuck to her word and massaged me right to sleep.
We woke up not to an alarm, but Alice barging into the room clapping her hands and giggling like crazy. Emmett right behind her. "C'mon rise and shine!" she sang.
Me and Tanya groaned, me sitting up to see it was only a quarter after seven. I pushed my hair from my face and rubbed my sleep filled eyes. "What the hell, Alice?" I mumbled. I got a good look at Alice, she was already dressed and hair done and looking like it was the afternoon. Sleep wasn't in her face whatsoever. Alice was an all day person, seeing her tired ment something was seriously wrong. Hyper little pixie.
"C'mon! We're seniors! We should be celebrating and ready to pick on the freshy's and get the year going and over and, ugh!" she was just so fuckin excited. I laughed, while Tanya looked pissed as she got up and made her way to the bathroom. "Plus, I want you two to meet my best-est friends in the whole world!" she cheered.
"Oh yeah, Rosanna and Bell?" I mummbled getting up and going to my dressor to pull out a white tee and some black shorts. I pulled the shirt over my head and turned to her.
"What? Ugh! No." she groaned, I always got the damn names wrong. She told me about these two alot on the phone. I just didn't care for her friends usually to be quite honest. "Rosalie and Bella. And Rose is single, Emmett." she called to our big brother who's head immediately peaked into my bedroom.
"She hot?" he said with a big grin on his face. Alice giggled and walked past him. "You'll see." she sang. "Now hurry! I hate being late!" she clapped her hands and headed downstairs. "You have ten minutes!" she called.
Laughing Emmett left to his room, and me and Tanya finished getting dressed.
Pulling up to the school I smiled looking around for familiar faces. My old teammates from when I was the quarterback Sophomore year. Of course I'd be going head to head with Emmett and any other guys who wanted the position this year. I kinda missed this place I guess. Tanya was tense beside me and I held her hand which put a small smile on her face.
Alice pulled up next to this fucked up looking truck. A Chevy maybe? Red, and probably older than Carlise and Esme's ages put together. "Nice peace of shit, eh, Edward?" Emmett laughed. I laughed along only to get a death glare from Alice. "That's Bella's, car. Be nice! She loves it." Alice said and got out of the car. Still chuckling, me and Emmett got out along with Tanya. Our fingers locked together. Alice waved us over to the other side of the car.
"Hey Bella!" Alice said cheerfully, hugging her friend. "So, these are my brothers I've told you about. Emmett, and Edward." she said pointing to us individualy.
"Hel-" the girl went to say but Emmett was there so fast pulling her into his infamous bear hug. "Hey Bella!" Emmett said. He let her down smiling at her. "Nice to meet ya, I'm Emmett. You can call me Em, or Emdog." he said pounding his chest and making a peace sign. Weirdo. The girl giggled and looked to me. My heart instantly began pounding when our eyes met.
"Hi, I'm Bella." she said, her cheeks going red. I couldn't help but smile, she looked so adorable when she blushed. I was stuck for a moment, taking in her beauty. Her beautiful long brown locks, her chocolate eyes, her cute blush and lips. Gathering in her outfit and back to her face, she looked a bit awkward now.
"Oh sorry," I cleared my throat. "Edward. Nice to meet you." I said smiling friendly to her. Tanya rolled her eyes and stuck out her hand quickly to Bella. "And I'm Tanya, his girlfriend." she said it almost like a hidden threat, and I didn't like that at all. Bella looked almost hurt, and looked away from me to her. "Hello, Tanya. We actually have had gym together for past few years." she said in the softest voice. She was just adorable, and I hated that she seemed to be so awkward because of my girlfriends rudeness.
"That's great." Tanya spat. Bella looked like a dog with a tail between it's legs.
"Tanya, chill." Alice said rolling her eyes. "Well this couldn't have been any more awkward. See yous, later." she said shooting me a look and walking off with Bella.
"Tanya, what's your problem lately?" I asked with a groan as we headed into the building.
"Nothing. I just don't want any tramps trying to hit on my man." she said.
"She wasn't hitting on me."
"And that's how it better stay."
I rolled my eyes and ignored her for now, trying to think back to the excitement of this being my senior year and trying out for football again and seeing all my old friends. Luckily for me, Tanya took off to see her own friends. Me and Emmett met up soon after before homeroom started.
"Hey man, where's the devil?" he asked jokingly.
"Stop, man. She's just... in a bad mood. She'll get out of it." I said defending her, like any good boyfriend would, right?
"Yeah yeah. So, your going out for quarter back?" he asked. I nodded which made him laugh like I told some funny ass joke. "Well good luck! See these guns?" he kissed his biceps. "I got this." he wiggled his brows. I couldn't help but laugh and then flex my own. Build, but not ripped like him. "Nice, not bad. But.. I got it this year." he said.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, I'm still gonna try out." I said. Emmett went to say something, but suddenly he walked right into some blond chick as we were turning a corner.
"Shit.." she mumbled having dropped her purse. "My stuff." she mumbled and bent down to pick everything up. Emmett also bent down to help her, handing her things to her. "Thanks..." they looked up at each other and I smiled seeing the look in both their eyes. "Hey.. I'm Rosalie." she introduced herself.
"Emmett." he said, his eyes quickly went up and down her back and back to her eyes. The girl was gorgeous. Long blond hair, amazing hazel eyes.
"Emmett you big ooff!" came Alice's voice. She watched the two, who were now snapped from their trances and looked to her. "Well, you seem to have met my brothers, Rose." Alice said.
"I'm Edward." I introduced myself with a friendly smile. Rose smiled at me and nodded.
"Rose, c'mon we gotta go meet Bella. You two are gonna be trying out for quarter back after school right?" Alice asked us.
"Yeah." I said. "It's after school, right?"
She nodded. "Yeah, along with cheer leading tryouts." She said and looked at Emmett quickly. "Me, Rose and Bella are trying out." she said and Emmetts eyes instantly lit up.
"Cool. Um, see ya's there." he said and walked off. I smiled shaking my head and headed off to find my homeroom. So far this first day was pretty interesting.

Wow was all I could think of when I was first introduced to Alice's brothers. She'd told me only a little bit about them. Their names, why they were away in Alaska and not here. And that she had a twin brother, Edward and older brother who was held back freshman year. Obviously the bigger one Emmett. But she'd told me not to be intimidated by his size, describing him as a big teddy bear. Funny how she told me so little about her brother, Edward. The one I found myself wanting to know a little bit more about.
I mean face it, he was gorgeous. From his bronze hair and green eyes to his smile and voice. His arms looked built along with what could be seen through his shirt. He looked like he was built. Abs maybe, pecs.. a nice toned body but not disgustingly ripped. I didn't like guys that looked like that. But wait, I have a boyfriend. Jacob... I shouldn't have been sitting there checking out this guy. My best friend's twin brother no less, it was wrong.
But there was just something so, alluring about him. Well, until his bitchy girlfriend jumped it. Ugh. Whatever. I always hated Tanya, a bitch to be honest. A whore by rumor, but whatever. That wasn't my problem. So I pushed Edward and Tanya from my mind.
Sitting now in homeroom. Rose was here with me, Alice must've been in a different homeroom, but knowing her she was probably in the office trying to get in with us right now.
"So! I met Alice's brothers today, sexy." Rose said raising her brows. I giggled. "Especially that Emmett, ughh. Did you see them? Did you see him? Total hunk! Yumm!" We giggled and I shook my head putting my hand to my forehead. Typical Rose.
"Yes I seen them. They're good looking, I'll addmitt. Emmett like, threw me into the worlds tightest hug." I said with a giggle.
Rose's jaw dropped. "I wish he woulda done that to mee!" she whined. I cocked a brow. "We bumped into each other. He helped me pick up my things. Such a sweetie. And that Edward, such a gentle man. And very hot, alot more than Ja-" I shot her a death glare. Rose didn't like Jacob, at all. Mean or not. But I hated when she'd try and set me up with other people.
"Bells, c'mon. I'm only speaking the truth. I mean c'mon, he is like, insanely hot. Both of them." she said. She went on and on, but I tuned her put looking around the room. I was glad when the bell rang and it was time for first period. Much to my bad luck though, my first class would be gym. Ughh.
We didn't have to change today, of course with it being our first day but we did play dodge ball. Boys Vs Girls. As usual I stood in the back with a few other girls. Off by myself, while the other girls and boys went at it with balls. I noticed Emmett was in this class, the biggest of all the guys, muscular wise and the loudest. I smiled watching him. He did seem like a big playful teddy bear. Suddenly I was smacked against the wall by a ball I never saw coming. Right in the nose. Perfect. I let myself slide to the ground sitting back against the wall. Sounded like everyone was still playing, not noticing my condition.
Even more perfect, I felt the warm liquid running down my nose and only my lip. Me and blood were not a good combo at all.
"Oh my god, Bella, I'm so sorry." Came a male voice I couldn't quite place. I looked up into bright green eyes filled with worry. Edward. "I'm really sorry, I thought you were playing... here let me..."
"No, it's fine." I looked down and noticed I got some I my shirt. "Great thats gonna fucking stain." I mumbled.
"I'm sorry, Bella." I heard him mummbled again. He had a towel in hand offering it to me. I shook my head and stood up. He rose too, and I looked at him, his eyes. They were filled with so much worry and sorrow, I shook my head. "I'll just go to the nurse."
"Let me take you..."
"No, I'm fine." I said a little more sternly, and stalked off to the girls bathroom. I let it bleed out, blew my nose and washed off my face and my shirt as best as possible. Thankfully it was dark and the stain wasn't so noticeable, but I was just a little mad about it. This kinda stuff always happened to me. And blood, ugh.
The rest of the school day went by so easily. All my teachers just explaining classroom rules and expectations. The no cell phone use policy was told constantly, ipods and mp3's not aloud to be listened to except in study period or the library on low. Computer do's and don'ts. Dumb shit we already knew.
Finally the three o'clock bell rang and me and Rose and Alice met up. Me heading to my truck to go meet Jacob for 3:10.
"Bella!" Alice said bouncing over to me. "C'mon, cheer leading tryouts." she said with a smile. Rose looked antsy beside her, but to see the football tryouts. Not for cheer leading tryouts.
"I can't today, I gotta go meet Jacob." I said softly.
"What? No no no, we talked about this last weekend. The three of us on the cheer leading squad, c'mon! Please, Bells? I'm sure he'll understand. Please!" They begged me, Alice puckering out her lower lip. I hated how hard it was to tell her no!
"Fine!" I caved with a groan yet a small smile. I fallowed them to the football Field, while texting Jacob real quick.
Cheer leading tryouts, sorry I totally forgot! Over at 4, work isn't till 5. Meet me at my house? - Bella.
I pressed send and within seconds got a response as we arrived at the Field.
So cheerleading practice is more important, huh? I'll be waiting at your truck at 5 to 4. When we make plans, you don't change shit. - Jacob
I felt my heart begin to pound in my chest, looking around as if he could maybe see me. Alice was watching me impatiently at this point.
I'm sorry, babe... I'll be there. No later than 4. - Bella
You better. - Jacob.
Sighing I shut my phone, and meeting Alice's worried gaze I shook my head warding off the question in her eyes. Tryouts took my mind off it though. And we even finished early, not many girls tried out today, but they had another meet tomorrow we all had to go to.
"Bella, you were great girl! Those years dancing did good to you." Alice said patting my back. I smiled looking out to the football field were the guys were having a football tryout.
"Say Bells, your nose is a lil black and blue. Red. You okay?" she asked.
"Oh yeah. Your brother... Edward. Hit me in the face with a dodge ball on accident in gym class. It's fine." I said forcing a smile. She nodded and glared at her brother, I couldn't tell which one he was.
"Can we go watch them tryout? Sorry Ali, but Emmett is fuckin sexy!" Rose said. We all giggled and I shook my head.
"Well I'm sure he thinks so of you too. Geez, the way you two were looking at each other earlier." Alice shook her head with a smile.
We made our way around the bleechers and sat on the bottom row watching the boys. Some just throwing the ball back and forth. Some doing running passes and pushing those metal things. And most of the guys, which is where I now saw Edward and Emmett, were trying out for quarter back.
"Whooo! Go Emmett and Edward!" Alice cheered.
"Ali, it's kinda weird to cheer for both. Brothers or not, only one can be quarter back." I said.
"Well I cheer for Emmett. Just look at him." Rose said and sighed softly looking at him with a smile across her lips. Girl was hooked and he wasn't even hers. Damn.
"Fine, I'll go for Edward. Bella?" Alice said. Her and Rose looked at me expectantly.
"Um, Edward I guess?" I said. Alice and Rose exchanged a smirk and looked out and began cheering for Emmett and Edward. I just watched, my eyes glued on Edward. Slightly sweaty, his bronze hair falling on his for head. Damp face. Eyes locked and completely focused. Body tense. He was now wearing a grey beater. And god, did he look gorgeous. I don't know how long I'd been staring, but suddenly Edward looked over and smiled and waved at us along with Emmett. Edward's and my eyes met. I quickly tore my eyes away and looked around, seeing Tanya sitting on the other side of the feild watching Edward reminded me that I was supposed to be meeting my boyfriend, Jacob.
"Shit..."
"What, Bells? Edward is sexy, isn't he?" Rose asked me. I opened my phone seeing it was 4:15. Shit, shit, shit!
"No. I mean, yeah, I mean. Ugh! I was supposed to meet Jake at my car fifteen minutes ago. I gotta go." I said. I texted Jacob as I jogged to my car. He never texted back... I was worried. I got to my truck and saw him nowhere. I got in and started up the car. A strong knock came on the passanger side window. I looked over seeing Jacob. I swallowed and unlocked the door. He got in and without a word I drove to my house.
Unfortunately, Charlie's cruiser wasn't outside. I swallowed and turned off my truck and got out. I waited for Jacob and went to kiss him, but he turned his head. Rejection overflowed me and I sighed. "Jacob, I'm so sorry." I pleaded. "I got caught up, I'm sorry." I said.
Jacob was silent, but his hands trembled. Silently we went to my door. I unlocked it, set down my keys and we headed upstairs into my bedroom. I sat on my bed and Jacob just watched me. I felt uncomfortable. "Will you please say something?" I asked finally.
"What the fuck am I supposed to say?" he asked. I swallowed and shrugged. His hands were shaking pretty badly and I really didn't want him getting to angry again.
"It's just.. I forgot what time it was and then the girls wanted me to watch the football tryouts.."
"Oh! So it was to watch a bunch of jock assholes chase a ball, huh?" he said. "What, do you like one of them Bella? Wanna fuck one of them instead of me!" he barked.
This hurt, because lately he'd gotten mad that we've been dating this long, yet he's never even seen me naked. I'd only ever given him a handjob from time to time. "You know that's not it..." I mumbled.
"Then what is it, Bella? Your always hung up on them fuckin boy obsessed chicks! Unless your a fuckin lesbian."
"I'm not a god damn lesbian, Jake. God damn, calm down. I'm just not ready for sex, you know that." I nearly shouted. He came over, towering over me. His black eyes filled with furry. I swallowed.
"Jake.. it was just fifteen minutes. I'm sorry, okay? I really am. I lost track of time." I said. Jacob was glaring knifes at me at this point, freaking me out.
"What happened to your nose?" he suddenly asked. My hands flew to my nose and I groaned.
"Dodge ball, Alice's brother, Edward hit me on accident..."
"Edward Cullen?"
"Yeah, why? Do you know him?" I asked with surprise. Jacob nodded, a thoughtful yet angry look on his face. I was still worried.
"Yeah, and Alice's brother or not. I don't want you talking to him." he said with alot of anger in his voice. And he made it sound final. Also like a threat.
"Why not? He seems like a nice guy..." he grasped my upper arms with a great firmness.
"Because I fuckin said so. I don't like the prick. 'Ladies man.' And he's dating that skank, Tanya which means all he wants is ass." I was shocked at how much he knew when he didn't even go to our school. Though Edward didn't come off to me as that type of guy, despite that he was dating Tanya. And I found myself thinking about his green eyes, filled with such care and sorrow from when he hit me on accident.
"Hello? I'm fuckin talkin here!" Jacob shook me and squeezed tighter.
"Jake, your hurting me." I whined. He kept his strong grip.
"You stay away, got it?" he growled.
"Jake..." His eyes were like hot flames burning into me. "I hear you, Jake... I-I have work soon. Please let me go... your hurting me." I said. The sound of Charlies cruiser coming into the driveway is what got him to let go of me. He sighed and kissed my lips quickly then left. I sat there, and took in deep breaths then got on my uniform for work. Black pants and white button up shirt and black tie. Girls and boys had to wear them. Ours of course were the thin ties just ment for style, not business.
I headed downstairs to Charlie heading in the door. "Hey dad, gotta go to work." I said. I had my hair down for now so he couldn't see my nose. "I might sleep over Alice's, I'll call." I said and ducked out the door.
Heading to work I gripped the steering wheel hard, sighing and replaying the argument with Jacob in my head. It seemed he was only seconds from really snapping out and hitting me. I didn't know what to do. I was so sure I loved him, I couldn't leave him. And at this point, I was sure I wouldn't be able to. I dialed Alice's number as I drove down the quiet street to my job, the Bloated Toad.
"Hey Bella!" Alice's cheerful voice answered.
I sighed. "Hey, Ali. I um... can I sleep over?" I asked. The line was silent then of course, she squealed.
"Of course silly goose! Why, is it Jacob again?" her voice was abruptly serious.
I pulled into the employee parking lot and parked shutting off my car. I nodded, though she couldn't see me of course.
"Where are you?" was all I asked.
"I'll be right there." She said, and the line went dead. I waited in my car until her headlights came rolling in. She got into the passenger seat of my truck and I explained everything to her. The whole fight and how dumb it was, how he gripped me.
"Aw honey," she hugged me tight. Alice was such a good friend. we both looked over seeing Rose pulling in. Our shifts started in 5 minutes. "I'm always here for you. I think you should try talking to him. Call him tonight from my house, and if worse comes to worse, I'll send Emmett after him." she said with a giggle.
I rolled my eyes and got out of the car. "C'mon, big teddy bear will be a grizzly bear to protect my lil Bella." Alice said putting an arm around me. Rose got out of her car and waved to her. "Hey Rose guess what Bella just told me!"
"What?" She yelled back. I looked at Alice and she winked at me.
"We're officialy lesbians, so tonight you two are sleeping over and we're gonna have lesbian sex!"
"Says who?" Rose said coming up to us. I was giggling by now along with Alice.
"Jacob. So, we're gonna have lots of hot lesbian sex and video tape it for Jake." Alice said. Rose laughed along with me and Alice.
"I'm in." Rose said. They both looked at my and I shrugged my shoulders.
Oh, what the heck? I had the best friends in the world who always knew how to cheer me up.
