"Izzy, if you don't get out of
that blooming shower before I get to the number one, I'm going to
flush the toilet. Do you hear me?" my sister Alice wailed. If there
was anything worse than getting on her bad side, it was when she
acted on those negative feelings.
"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3-"she
counted and I quickly shut off the water.
"You're going to be
the death of me Alice!" I yelled and I heard her high pitched
laughter coming from behind the door.
"Crazy pixie" I
muttered and the bathroom door flew open.
"Don't call me a
pixie!" she screeched and I pulled a towel over my body.
"Alice
I'm NAKED!" I squealed and she slammed her hand over her eyes.
"When did you get boobs little sis?" My big brother Emmett
chuckled as he entered the bathroom.
"Emmett! GET OUT!" I
screamed and he chuckled before walking back out of the bathroom. I
slammed the door shut in humiliation and got dressed quickly. Today I
was going to wear a black tube top, cream cashmere coat and black
skinny jeans, with a black barrette. My brown hair was straight and I
wore black mascara to brim my brown eyes.
I walked downstairs and heard Emmett
laughing on the phone.
"Chris man, you should have seen it!"
he boasted and I was immediately interested in the conversation.
Chris has been my boyfriend for six months; we'd met at my job at
the local café.
"Emmett, give me the phone!" I squealed
excitedly and he laughed in my face before saying goodbye to
Chris.
"Your girlfriend wants to talk, see you later man" he
smiled and handed me the phone. "He called for you anyway you
freak" he muttered and walked away. I slammed the receiver up to my
ear and hit the barbell that was through the top of it.
"Ouch.
Hey babe!" I smiled and I heard heavy breathing from the other end
of the phone. "Chris, what's wrong?" I asked and he sighed.
'Come to dinner with me tonight?" he asked and I instantly
agreed.
"Yeah I will. Can't wait. I've got school, bye.
Mwa" I said and then hung up. I was elated because I could finally
see Chris. He'd been on a vacation with his family for three weeks
and I missed him terribly.
"Emmett, don't tell anyone
that you saw me naked!" he hissed and he shrugged.
"Fine,
but I can always write it down" he called as he darted out the
door.
"EMMETT!" I wailed but he didn't come back inside. I
huffed but went to get some money for the cafeteria. "Bye Mum, have
a good day" I smiled and walked out the door.
"Goodbye Izzy"
she smiled and kissed my cheek before I ran out and got into my
convertible. When I got to school, I was greeted by Lauren, Jessica
and Angela. They were my best friends and my life was perfect. Ugh,
except for one minor detail. I turned to see Emmett doing charades
for all his friends. He had a badge saying my name attached to his
shirt and he was pretending cover up his body. I blushed and looked
down. As soon as I looked away, I heard all the schools jocks burst
into a roar of laughter, and then warm hands were wrapped around my
waist. I turned around to see Edward Cullen, the schools biggest
player, smiling twinkly eyed at me.
"I'm upset Izzy" he
said, feigning sadness.
"Oh yeah and why is that?" he said
raising my eyebrow.
"Emmett saw you naked before I did" he
smiled and I slapped him across the face.
"Emmett will see me
naked one million more times before you do" I hissed and stomped
away. I turned back and gave him the finger before darting in for my
first class.
"Isabella, do you know the square
root of pie?" Mr. Stye asked.
"Do I look like I know the
square root of pie?" I asked sarcastically and he turned red from
aggravation.
"You look hot, that what you look like" Edward
laughed and I fumed. I walked over to Edward's desk and he stood
up, I put my arms around his neck, and then I kneed him in his
special area. I walked away and sat back at my table as Edward
moaned in pain on the floor. Through all his pain he managed to say
the words 'smoking' hot'. Here is the run down with me and
Edward. We met when we were seven and he's my best friend. We are
different sorts of friends as well though. I don't know how to
explain it; he tries to feel me up and he always ends up crumpled on
the floor in pain. As the day came to a close, I think I'd kneed
Edward six times. I got into my convertible and turned the top down.
"Bye sexy!" Edward called.
"Bye Hun!" I laughed back
and drove away. Daily, Edward and I would part with that line and
then at night, I would council him with his lady troubles.
"Chris!" I screamed as I ran
from my car and jumped into his arms. I kissed him repeatedly up and
down his neck. We locked lips and his tongue was begging for entrance
so I gave in and opened my mouth. I tongues battled for what seemed
like hours and Chris's hands began riding up the back of my shirt.
"Chris… what are you doing?" I mumbled breathlessly.
"Having fun" he replied eagerly and I slapped his hands away.
"You know I'm not ready for that" I mumbled.
"What?
Come on Izz, I'm so ready for you. I want you to be all mine. I
don't think I can wait anymore" he declared and I looked up at
him questioningly.
"What do you mean?" I whimpered and he let
go of me.
"I'm just saying that I don't think we could be
together if you're not willing to give it up" he said with his
hands out in front of him in a surrender gesture.
"Give it up?"
I hissed and I was beyond angry. I was both heartbroken and
furious.
"I want to have sex with you Izzy" he urged and I
screamed loudly in frustration.
"Is that why you wanted to meet
here?" I yelled, gesturing to the look-out place that overlooked
the town.
"Yes, I thought you'd be nice to me and let me make
love to you" he answered and I felt my fury bubbling over.
"Oh
baby…" I said, feigning niceness. His eyes popped wide as I undid
my top button of the checkered shirt I wore. I walked over and put my
arms around his neck. "Did you really think I'd give it up that
easily?" I whispered against his cheek and the stuck my knee into
his groin. He fell to the floor in a crumple heap and whimpered in
agony. I did my buttons up and ran for my car and drove out of sight
immediately.
The whole way to my destination I
was wiping tears away from my eyes as the city lights passed me by. I
was sobbing as I knocked on the front door and I broke down when he
answered.
"Bella honey what's wrong?" he said as I fell
into his chest.
"E-E-Edward… C-C-Chris wanted to have s-s-sex
with me" I cried and he stroked my hair.
"Mum, Bella's here
so I'm not going to her house tonight!" he called out.
"Okay
dear! Hello Bella" Esme called. She was Edward's mother and
wonderful woman.
"Hello Esme" I choked and she came to see
what was wrong.
"Oh my dear what's the matter?" she said
worriedly and I just shook it off and she dismissed it. Edward took
me up to his room and sat me on the bed.
"What happened
sweety?" he asked and I began to calm down. Edward was my best
friend so I didn't care what name he sued for me, as long as it was
kind.
I told Edward the whole story and by
the end of it he was fuming.
"That bastard!" he hissed and I
walked over to hug him.
"It's okay Eddie honey, I am glad you
listened to me though" I smiled and kissed his cheek. He kissed my
cheek back and hugged me once more before he walked me down the
stairs.
"Thanks sweety, I love you" I
said half heartedly like I always did. In truth I did love Edward; he
was my best friend in the whole wide world.
"Bye sexy" he
smiled. I turned and winked at him.
"Bye Hun" said and got in
my car and drove away.
"Hey Izzy, Edward not coming
tonight?" mum asked and I shook my head.
"Nah, I went there"
I said and she smiled at me.
"Good, I finally didn't have to
make dinner for what feels like one hundred people" she laughed and
I rolled my eyes.
'Come on mum you know he doesn't eat that
much!" I protested and she shook it off. I just smiled and went up
to my room. I turned on the light and grabbed my toiletries and
pajamas. I walked into the bathroom and locked the door, turned on
the hot water and slid my clothes off. I jumped into the shower and
let the water untie all the knots in my muscles in my back. I sighed
and shivered when I turned off the water, but then went and dressed
into my pajamas. When I went back to my room I checked my phone and
saw the message form Edward that I got every night.
Night
Izzy. Thanks for being my best friend.
Edward.And I
sent back the one I always sent right afterwards.
Night Edward. No star could shine
bright enough for my blessings of having you as a best friend.
Izzy.
And I fell asleep, single, but completely happy.
