I stood at the patio looking down at the piece of paper Bella handed me that contained seven numbers which right now was seven of my luckiest numbers. After staring at them for another minute or two I gathered my bearings and walked right back into the party. There was no way in the hell the guys would believe Bella gave me her number and I couldn't believe it myself. But right now I was Charlie and this here was my freaking golden ticket. I spotted Jasper and the rest of the guys over by the loud speakers so a walked over to them. Jasper handed me a white cup and I sniffed it and smelled that it was beer.
"Where the hell have you been?" Jasper asked as I took a sip of the beer he handed me.
"Getting fresh air it had gotten too hot in here for a minute," I swiftly said as Eric and Ben gave me the 'yeah right' look.
"Whatever dude but we might bail on this party because it's starting to get lame so me and Ben gonna head out check you guys later…and hit me up if you going to the courts tomorrow so I can whoop that ass," Eric said as we all slapped hands. Eric was Mr. Cool Kid on the Block, and added a splash of color to our little group. And no not like that meant with his personality. He was animated, loud, and girl crazy which got him in trouble a lot with whoever he was dating at the time. Ben was the opposite he was quiet, calm, and a very shelled person around people but around us he would talk and goof off. He was like the Screech of the group. After Eric and Ben left Jasper and I decided to leave 10 minutes later and because some guy had gotten completely wasted and ended up streaking through the house and Jasper said that shit spoiled the beer in his stomach. As we were walking out I chanced a look and saw Jacob glaring in my direction and flipped me off. I shook my head not wanting to add fuel to fire because I could go all night.
"Hey did you want to head to the courts tomorrow?" Jasper asked as he started up his car.
"Umm…yeah sure… I can just walk ad meet you guys there," I said as I strapped on my seatbelt because Jasper was very anal about that shit.
"I can pick you up bro…you don't have to walk," he says as he speeds off down the road and I nodded my head.
"I know but I like walking helps clear my head and shit like that…and helps me become one with nature," I joke and Jasper had a wide grin and shook his head before looking at me.
"Ok Yogi Bear whatever you say," was all he said and the rest of my trip home was spent in a comfortable silence with the Kings of Leon playing throughout the car. I walked inside the trailer placing the spare key inside the key bowl. I walked towards Anna's room and poked my head in to check on her and she was sleeping soundly with George clinging to her. I took off my pants and shirt and threw it in the laundry basket in the hallway and reached over to the closet and grabbed my blanket and cover. I situated myself on the couch and after a minute I bolted up and scattered to the laundry basket and grabbed my pants I was just wearing and pulled out the paper with Bella's number on it. I went back to the couch and grabbed my cell phone. I stared at the numbers and my phone wondering what the hell was I going to say. I opened up my text box and typed her number in and sent one word that would make me or break me I simply typed in 'me' and I fell asleep with the phone in my hand. That night I dreamed of Isabella Swan.
"Edddddddddwwaaaarrrrddddddd," a voice called my name and I turned over pulling the sheet over my head to shield the voice. "Eddddddwwwwaaaaarrrrrdddddddd," the voice called out again and I then knew it was Anna then she jumped on top of me knocking the wind from my system. "Wake up wake up I wanna watch Clifford you big goof," she said and I leaned my body up and grabbed her bringing her down and giving her a tickling attack. Her laughs filled the room as she kicked to get away from me. After the tickle attack I got up turning on the t.v. for her and turned to the big red dog that was the source of my early weekend morning wake ups. Anna situated herself in my spot as she watched Clifford and I walked into the kitchen grabbing me a bowl, milk, spoon, and the best cereal ever cap't crunch peanut butter. While I as eating my mom and dad came into the kitchen mom starting a pot of coffee and my dad sitting at the table. I glanced at the microwave clock and it read 9:38 and wondered why my parents got up so late. My mom walked over to my dad's chair leaned down and gave him a lingering kiss on his lips. And my mind went blank. Ewww now I know why they woke up late isn't there an age limit to when parents shouldn't have sex. I know the trick I know when they have one of their "nights" and it grosses me out. My mom turned around and my dad gave her a light tap on her ass and I groaned suddenly losing my appetite. I mean seriously who wouldn't after what I just witnessed.
"Don't hate that your old man still got game son," my dad said as I faked puked over the table.
"It's not hating dad it's called not needing to see my parents grope each other because its nasty," I say taking my bowls to the sink and washing it out and my mom laughed as she lightly smacked my arm.
"Exactly…hating," and my mom pulled out two mugs from the cabinet and poured coffee in them.
"Emma do you want some toast?" my mom asked loudly to my sister who was into the t.v. and didn't reply. "Emma," my mom simply called out as she walked into the living room.
"So what are you going to do today?" my dad asked as I put up the clean dish and put the cereal up on the refrigerator.
"Going to go play basketball with the guys today nothing special," I answered as I sat back at the table with him. My mom walked back into the kitchen and started putting bread in the toaster and walked over to dad handing him his cup of coffee and he thanked her. Me and my dad sat at the table talking for a little bit when Anna came bouncing into the kitchen giving me and dad a kiss on the cheeks.
"Mommy may I please have some apple butter on my toast?" she asked pulling out a chair for herself.
"Sure honey…do you want milk or juice?" my mom asked in return as the toast popped up.
"Milk please…Edward do you wanna play tea party with me later on?" she asked and as much as I wanted to I couldn't so I shook my head at her.
"I'm sorry sweet pea I can't I'm hanging with some friends today…another time ok," I suggested and she seemed content with my answer. "Hey dad you think I could get 10 dollars to put on my phone?" and my dad nodded reaching in his pocket for his wallet pulling out a 10. My dad didn't have a problem giving me a 10 every month since I really don't ask for anything and I stay out of trouble.
"Oh Edward I needed you to come by Mr. Donald's house after school Monday and cut his grass," my mom said as she placed some toast in front of dad and Anna leaving one for herself.
"Sure thing mom anything else you need me to do around there?" I always pitched in when it came to doing some work for rather it be cutting grass, clearing out his rain gutters, or just fixing his wheelchair ramp on his porch. And every time I asked for some water he always contributed how when he was growing up he did everything without a lick of water till he was done. We young folks don't know we have it good as he would always tell me. He is an annoying old man but he sure is wise.
"Nothing I could think of honey but you know he will think of something," she said as she sat down to the table and stared eating. After everyone was done eating I went back into the living room and grabbed my phone noticing I had a text message. I opened it noticing it was from Bella.
*Hey I tried calling you but it said something about you not being able to be reached*- B Yeah one of the many joys of a minute phone I thought to myself as I typed out a response.
*Yea I have a minute phone can only text sorry * -E I grabbed the remote to the t.v. and switched to Sports Center where they was talking about the NASCAR racing. I flipped through the channels and settled on the show King of the Hill. Hey don't judge I love the show Dale is HI-larious. It was one of the episodes when Bobby was kicking people in the nuts. As I was watching my phone beeped right beside me and I saw it was another text from Bella which in turn made my smile.
*That's sucks :/ so I've been thinking about breaking up with Jake* -B Whoa did I just see right I never thought in a million years that would happen and I texted her back.
*Now that sucks…I'm srry 2 hear that* - E I kept thinking about our conversation last night and I kind of felt maybe she did like me but the chances of that happening was slim and my phone beeped.
*Not really long time coming so what r u doing today?* -B
*Going to the basketball court l8r on with my friends* I responded and when I looked up I saw Bobby kick Hank in his nuts and I busted out laughing. Anna then came out the kitchen while the commercial came on and sat in my lap. I wrapped my arms around her little frame and snuggled her giving the back of her head a little kiss taking in the smell of her shampoo which smelled like fresh picked flowers. After that I didn't get a response back from Bella and boy did I feel rejected.
BPOV
After I read Edward's text which said he was going to the basketball courts I called up Alice and told her I was picking her little pixie ass up later. I didn't want to bring Rose because one she would bitch about Edward and two she didn't like to sweat well neither did Alice but I would rather have Alice with me. I exited out my room and down the stairs to go and grab me a apple when I saw my dad at the table with his police uniform and his 1980's pornstach in full effect. I went over and kissed him on his cheek and went towards the fruit basket. I looked at my dad and he was reading the morning paper looking upset.
"How was the party Isabella?" my father asked not looking up from his paper to ask.
"It was good didn't really hang out too much," I say as I take a bite of the red apple.
"There better not have been drinking Bella," He said sternly and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Of course not daddy scouts honor," I say smiling cheesily at him and he shook his head.
"So Jacob said you're mad at him…may I ask why?" now looking up from the paper. I swear my dad was is Team Jacob wait what am I saying he is and has gotten on my nerves plenty of times.
"No you may not dad it's between me and Jacob," I say as I take another bite not really like where this was heading.
"He also told me he saw you talking to that Mason boy at the party," he is return took a sip of his coffee in his blue mug.
"Dad don't start this ok? He is nice," I simply said and the ball just dropped.
"Bella you know how I feel about those people," he said getting up from his chair and I rolled my eyes making sure he saw me do it.
"What people dad? People who don't have a lot of money…that's bull crap dad and you know it…you're not even rich yourself your middle class" I ranted throwing my apple away not having much of an appetite now.
"Watch yourself Isabella and who you talk to effects me in the end and I will not jeopardize that you hear! Stay away from the kid," he stated as he walked out of the kitchen thinking he got one over on me. Little does he know I don't give a damn what he says and I don't give a damn if he becomes mayor. He has to learn he can't control me all of my life and push me towards Jacob. My mom walked in the kitchen wondering what all the fuss was about and I shook my head and said it was nothing. I walked back upstairs to my room and slammed my door shut and fell down on my bed forcefully. And who does Jake think he is talking to my dad like he owns me. I grabbed my phone searching for Jake's number. It had rung three times before he picked it up and I was ready to give him an earful.
"Hey baby what's up" he said trying to sound sexy but I groaned inside.
"Next time you feel the need to tell me dad shit do me and you a favor and don't. You don't control me Jacob when will you learn that," I say loudly hoping his ear falls off.
"Bella chill out and your dad loves me so keep that in mind we both want what's best for you," he says and I scoffed at him and his ridiculous statement.
"You and my dad want what's best for ya'll and I'm not going to sit here and let you guys control my life so here's my first step to that Jacob Black we are over don't ever speak to me again or even fucking look at me you fucking loser and who cares if I talked to Edward he has more going for himself than you! BYE!" I screamed and pressed end on my phone before he could respond and I suddenly felt a weight lift off of me. I was proud of myself I should of done this months and months ago. My phone started ringing and I looked to see that it was Jacob calling be back and I pressed decline on my phone and raced to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready. After my shower I brushed and blow dried my hair and put some make up on while still wrapped in my towel. I then went to my walk in closet pulling out different clothes to see what I wanted to wear. After putting on my clothes I texted Alice letting her know I was on my way and I was out my door by 11:56. I got inside my red truck that my dad had got me for my 16th birthday it use to be grandpa Swan's truck so it meant a lot to me to keep it. I called her Old Bessie but Rosalie said I should call it old scrap but who cares I loved it. I knew Alice would rather drive her car because she couldn't stand when I drove because it meant she had to ride in Old Bessie. Haters is what they are they don't understand classics. I had gotten Jacob to install a cd player in it and at least he was good for something during our relationship. Placing my Maroon 5 cd in I began taking off towards Alice's while jamming. I stopped at a red light and was continuing to bop my head to the music and I looked over to see Mike looking inside from his car jamming with me as if he could hear and I laughed at his craziness. I was in too much of a good mood today my proof is I'm jamming at a red light with Mike Newton, that's a first. When the light turned green I sped off and finally approached Alice's house and she was outside waiting for me. She hurried and got inside the car then placed her sunglasses on.
"Hey chick," she greeted pulling her seatbelt across her.
"Hey…so guess what I broke up with Jake this morning," I say and she gave off a little laugh while fixing her hair.
"Do you want me to say I'm surprised because I would be lying" she seemed unfazed by what I told her.
"You aren't going to even ask why? Wow that's a first," I laughed as I backed up out of the driveway.
"Because he is a egotistical, barbaric, ass kissing, big nosed douchebag…I'm correct?" and I laughed and nodded my head and she gave me a little shrug.
"Wow you should be a poet Mary Alice," she glared at me and I chuckled she always hated when I called her Mary Alice. She always said if 'you're going to call me Mary call me Mary if you're going to call me Alice call me Alice don't say both of them because that's just country'. She rolled her eyes at me and I smiled back at her. Five minutes later we pulled up at the park and I could see other cars out here and people walking, playing football and basketball. I saw that Jasper's car was here so it must have meant Edward was here with him. Alice shrieked in her seat and pinched me hard on my arm and I screamed.
"What the hell Alice!," I yelled rubbing the now sore spot on my arms.
"You bitch! Why didn't you tell me Jasper was going to be here," she yelled holding her eyeliner up at me as if she was going to rob me.
"Because you would have freaked and it would of token you longer to get ready then I would of gotten aggravated and leave you then you would have been mad because I left then we wouldn't talk for a week because you would blame me for interfering with destiny," I said summing up what would happen.
"OH MY GOD! My hair! It isn't right and I why the hell did I wear my pink tank top," and here we go the Alice Brandon rampaged and she was really freaking out.
"Alice you are fine you look amazing so please shut up, get out the car and walk over there with me because I wanna see Edward," I say shutting off my car and getting out and Alice poked her lips out. After a minute she got out giving me a evil look and I walked over to her linking my arm with hers. "You look perfect and Jasper will not be able to look at where the ball is at because he will be distracted by your beauty," I stated giving her a kiss on her cheek and she smiled half way but I knew I reached her. We walked over to the basketball court arm and arm and we stopped at the bleachers watching the guys play. Then I saw Edward dribbling the ball and it went all slow motion for me that instant. His hair beautiful golden brown hair reflecting in the sun going everywhere as the sweat was pouring off his body. He wasn't wearing a shirt so I could see his body. He wasn't muscular but his chest was defined but I didn't care he still looked hot. My eyes traveled down his body down past his black basketball shorts to his well toned legs. Damn I never knew I could find legs sexy on a guy. Then time sped up for me as I saw him go for a three pointer over Eric's head and the ball went through the net. Eric began cussing up a storm telling a guy on his team to play defense. Jasper ran over and high fived Edward and Alice let out a sharp gasp. Jasper was totally opposite of Edward because he was a lot more slimmer but he did have a well defined body and you could see his six pack very well. Me and Alice sat down on the top of the bleachers and watched the guys play. And I learned two things while watching them play one guys were sure competitive over a game and two they can get rough as well. Eric ran while dribbling the ball and jumped up over Jasper and slammed the ball in the net. He landed on his feet and started beating his chest saying 'I'm the man'. I loved Eric he was a funny guy and had a very charismatic personality life of the party so to say. I looked over and saw Ben guarding Edward down the court. Unlike everybody else he was wearing a t-shirt so I guess he was shy to show what he's got. Jasper passed the ball to one of his team mates and Eric crept by and stole the ball taking it to his side of the court taking in a three point shot. Wow Eric was really good at this and the cocky bastard knew it too. We watched the guys play some more until someone yelled game and the guys walked over huffing trying to catch their breaths and they were sweating pools. Edward saw me and gave me his signature crooked smile and waved at me and I smiled back and waved as Alice did the same with Jasper.
"Ayy Bella you game to check out the Dewayne Wade of Forks," Eric said as he walked over taking a drink of his water bottle and I playfully rolled my eyes at him.
"You wish Mr. Dewayne Wade," I say exaggerating the name and he laughed and walked over to Ben.
"Hey Bella if I didn't know any better I would say you were stalking me," Edward walked over joking with a towel hanging from his shoulders.
"How did you know Mason…and here I thought I was being discreet," and Edward gave off a laugh and he sat down in front of me and Alice facing us.
"Well I'm glad I have a beautiful stalker then," he says bashfully and I swear I turned a shade of red. Jasper then walked over and greeted us while looking only at Alice.
"What brings you two sexy ladies here," Jasper asked still only looking at Alice.
"Oh nothing just hanging out," Alice answers looking right back at Jasper and me and Edward looked at each other and then Edward rolled his eyes and acted like he was going to throw up and I laughed.
"Hey we was about to head over to the pizza place you lovely ladies are welcomed to join us," Eric walked over to us taking me and Alice's hands in his and gave it a kiss "but ya'll are paying for your own pizzas," he said and I playfully snatched my hand from his.
"Wow Eric your such a fucking gentleman," I say and Alice, Edward, and Jasper laughed while Eric made kissing noises at me.
"You ladies should come with us it will be fun and I promise to taser Eric if he gets too manish" Jasper jokes and me and Alice agreed to go with him but Edward looked down not talking. We all left in our respective cars and met up at pizza place. Once we settled in our booths me, Alice, and Ben on one side and Edward, Jasper, and Eric on the other. We decided to get our own personal pan pizza because no one could decide what they wanted to get as a group. Edward was the only one silent during the whole thing he kind of looked like he felt out of place.
"Edward you ok?" I asked getting concerned because he was quiet.
"Umm yea I'm good Bella just tired I guess," I could tell he wasn't saying what was really on his mind but I didn't press. By the time the waitress came to take our orders we all placed it in but Edward she looked to Edward to see if he wanted anything and he shook his head.
"No thank you but I will take a glass of water please," he says and she smiles and walks off to get our orders.
"Not hungry Edward? You sure played hard today," Alice says and Jasper looked over at Edward.
"I don't have any money," he says softly looking down and now I felt bed and Alice looked at me. "Umm I'll be right back I gotta go to the bathroom," and he gets up walking fast towards the bathroom areas.
"Don't worry about him Bella I'm going to share half of mines with him" Jasper says and I nodded still looking towards the bathrooms. After about five minutes Edward came back to the table as soon as the food arrived. True to his word Jasper cut half of his personal pan and gave some to Edward but Edward declined. Jasper still placed it on the plate in front of Edward and Edward just stared and eventually ate the pizza. The whole time Edward didn't even look at me while the others laughed and talked about whatever. After we were done eating we paid our bill and left a tip but Eric thought she didn't deserve one because she didn't refill our drinks. I wanted to talk to Edward so bad right now to find out what was bothering him so I swallowed my nervousness and lightly kicked Edward under the table to get his attention. I pointed my head to outside telling his to come on and we told everyone that we would be right back. I got up swiftly with Edward in tow and I was determined to find out what the hell was wrong.
