Hate Is A Strong Word
A/N: You guys! Thank you so much for the reviews! I love reading what you think about my writing. I'm glad you like the story. Please please drop me a review if you can! And just so you don't get confused Emmett will show up in the next chapter and none of the characters are related except Jasper and Rosalie, that are twins. Alice knows them from an exchange-a-student-thing-y trip she did. Hope that wasn't confusing.
Thanks so much for reading!
BPOV.
I swallowed the pill and took a sip of my water. The last thing I needed right now was to get pregnant with that idiot baby. That was the last pill. First Tylenol, then 'the-day-after-pill'. It had only been half an hour since I had awaken and it felt like days. Specially because of the constant knocking on the bathroom door. We hadn't decided what to do yet but one thing I knew for sure. I couldn't tell Alice, she would kill me, rip me to shreds and make me suffer. I slapped myself on the face when he knocked yet again. God, this guy was a really good fuck but the fact that he was brainless didn't help him much. I grabbed my small nightgown from the floor and put it on, when I opened the door I found him there. Looking as stupidly sexy as ever.
And then, in that exact moment my life ended. Someone knocked.
"BELLA OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR!"
Alice. Shit.
"Shit. Shit. FUCK!" I ran towards the bed and buried my face in the pillow.
"Bella I CAN HEAR YOU CURSING! OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR. YOU BETTER DO BEFORE..."
Edward opened the door and I popped myself in one elbow trying to look smug. Alice didn't look smug at all. She looked annoyed, angry, murderous. Her tiny hands were placed on her hips and she was arching her eyebrow at me. She had something underneath her arm. I titled my head and watched a tall blond man enter the room, closing the door behind him. Edward dropped his head.
"Bella..." she grabbed the newspaper from underneath her arm and stretched it, there in the front page it was a picture of me and Edward. I dropped my arm and let my face fall into the pillow again. "Tell me this isn't true."
"Alice I'm not pretty sure of what happened last night..." and with that I lifted my hand showing her my wedding ring. "But I did get married to the asshole."
"Hey" Edward finally spoke up. "I got married to a pms-ing bitch for crying out loud!"
"Edward, behave." the blond guy that had entered the room behind Alice glared at him.
"I'm sorry blond-kind-of-hot-guy...who the hell are you?" Alice asked as she dropped the newspaper and titled her head to stare at him. The guy smiled and offered his hand to her.
"Jasper Hale mademoiselle . I'm Edward's manager." he ducked his head and grinned as Alice blushed.
"I'm Alice Brandon." she offered with a huge grin.
"Mary..." I coughed and Edward started laughing.
"Shut up!" Alice hissed as she placed her hands on her hips again. "You are the two idiots who got married last night! Couldn't you just get laid and walk away? Seriously Bella! Couldn't you just wait for me for five seconds! No! You had to go and find a manwhore. The first time you get drunk in your life and you get married! I can't believe it!"
"Chillax. Don't get your panties in a bunch Amy, we'll get an anulment." Edward murmured as he sat down on the bed.
"It's Alice you dick. And you can't get an annulment...what do you think the headlines would be? 'America's Sweetheart Bella Swan is the new Britney Spears' Bella you can't have an annulment and you know it!"
"Edward..." Jasper interrupted as he took a step forward "An annulment wouldn't be the best thing for you right now either. Your reputation is hanging by a threat. They don't want you anywhere and this would just be...terrible."
A soft knock on the door interrupted his point.
"Who is it?" Edward asked, in response he only got a growl. "Shit Jasper, did you call Rose?" Jasper narrowed his eyes and nodded. "You just had to didn't you?" he sighed and walked towards the door and opened it. A stunning blond girl entered the room, Edward closed the door behind him and she turned around, almost growling at him.
"The idiot, himself. Now tell me where's your bride?" she snarled but the words still sounded like music with her voice.
"Rosalie calm down, please." Jasper pleaded, the girl rolled her eyes and turned around to face Alice.
"OH.MY.GOD!" both, Rosalie and Alice, screamed at the same time. They threw their hands around each other as we stared quizzically at them.
"Alice!" Rosalie smiled as she let go of her. "I thought I'd never see you again! What are you doing here? Do you know any of this asses?"
"Yes!" Alice squeaked as she clasped her hands together. "Oh Rose! Why are you here?"
"Jasper's my brother! I can't believe you forgot! You two totally had a thing for each other!" Rosalie smiled. "Aw Alice! Je t'aime!" she exclaimed in a perfect french accent. That was when it sunk in. She must be a part of the family Alice was staying with when she went on that trip to France. "So this is Bella? Bella Swan! The girl you talked so much about! Enchantée!" She smiled at me delighted and turned to her cousin. "Jasper ne te souviens-tu pas d'Alice ? Vous deux faites une paire parfaite!" (Jasper don't you remember Alice? You two make a perfect couple!)
"Merci Rosalie. Mais je crois que tu as besoin de te concentrer." Jasper nodded his head towards Edward and Rosalie nodded. (Thank you, Rosalie. But I think you need to focus.)
"Ah. L'idiot qui s'est marié par accident. Par le Dieu!" Rosalie threw her hands in the air in exasperation and sat down in the bed besides Edward. (Ah! The idiot that got married by accident. God!)
"Okay as much as I enjoy the cultural-mix I'm not getting a thing here." I finally spoke up and they all turned around to look at me.
"Rose was just insulting Edward." Alice explained as she smiled. "Now we need to make a decision about this." she continued as she waved the paper in front of my face.
"They have to remain married. For a while, at least." Jasper offered, Rosalie snorted and Alice nodded. "Rosalie..."
"Jasper! Excuse moi! This is stupid! This poor girl doesn't deserve this!" she exclaimed and then got up from the bed.
"Rose, your brother is right. It would destroy Bella's reputation...and Edward's...or what's left of it.." Alice sighed and she went on "You would pretend to be married of course, talk shows, interviews, lunchs in public, living in the same house..."
"How long?" Edward asked. I almost rubbed my eyes, was he actually accepting this? No way in hell I was going to be married to the asshole.
"Six months, at least." Alice answered in a small voice. I glared at her.
"No-freaking-way." I answered, Alice growled and turned to glare at me.
"Bella you are going to remain married to him. I don't care what you think, in fact don't think about it. Just do as you are told." Alice said.
"Alice!" I hissed. "Don't treat me like a two year old!"
"Since you are acting as one, you will be treated as one." she answered and she folded her arms carefully over her chest. "So what do we do with the children Jasper?" her tone softened and she smiled.
"Oh Alice has a crush.." I whistled as I jumped out of bed, Alice tiny hand flew to my head and she slapped me, hard.
"Before Bella so rudely interrupted..." Jasper said looking at her, he was smiling so much it looked like his face would break. "I think that they have to remain married. We need six months at least and everyone who is in this room right now must agree to keep his or her mouth shut."
"And...you didn't happen to sign a pre-nup, did you?" Rosalie asked as she turned her head to Edward. He shook his head and shrugged.
"That won't be a problem." I spoke up quickly, and four heads turned to stare at me. "I mean we are both very...wealthy. We have our own money." Jasper and Alice nodded.
"Now we just need a wedding reception!" Alice clapped her hands together. "Oh and by the way you two need to make up a story of how you have been dating in secret for the last months. And please no PDA, we have enough with the hotel security video."
"And no sex." Jasper stepped in, Edward's face almost fell off. "No with each other or other people. No sex. And no Edward I don't care how private your whores are. We can't take any risks so no sex with anyone."
"Well Jasper you might as well cut it off!" Edward exclaimed as he threw his hands in the air and sighed. "Holy Crap."
"That's what you get." Rosalie said as she smiled. "So Bella tell us more about yourself." Rosalie offered with a smile plastered in her perfect face.
"Wait a minute...Alice?" she turned to look at me quizzically. "What are we going to do about Jake?"
Alice just slapped her forehead.
Oh Boy.

"YOU WHAT? Bells have you lost it? Alice made you do it didn't she? Did he drug you? I am so kicking his ass Bella I swear, tell that pretty boy to say goodbye to his face..." Jacob's rant went on as I pulled the cellphone away from my ear. I knew that he would be difficult but his never-ending speech about morality and values wasn't something interesting for me right now.
"Look Jake, I gotta go. I have to catch a plane but we'll talk as soon as I get to LA, okay? I call you. Don't do anything stupid, stay in Forks with Billy." I warned him and he sighed.
"I promise Bells. Call me or I'll tear his eyes out." he threatened darkly.
"Maybe I won't call you then." I teased and he started laughing. "Miss you Jake, Bye." and as I ended the call and looked up I found my husband staring at me. I looked away quickly but when I turned again he was still staring. "What?"
"Who is Jake?" he asked as he leaned back never breaking eye contact. "I mean not that I care, but if we are supposed to be husband and wife I might as well know who my wife is talking to." he added a nervous edge on his voice as he lifted his glass,
"He is my lover." I teased he almost choked with his scotch. "Kidding. He is my best friend. He lives in Washington, where I grew up. Not that you care anyway." I added as I leaned forward to grab the other glass. How long until this private-jet-whatsoever took off?
"I know you did. Isabella Marie Swan, your dad was the police officer of the town of Forks, Washington. He and your mother, Reene, divorced when you were a baby, you moved with him when you were five and when you turned fifteen you started acting."
"You googled me." I bit my lip and looked away, trying to hide my blush. "I haven't...I...I didn't.." Why was I suddenly so nervous?
"Don't worry. There is nothing interesting about me there anyway. " he shrugged and took another sip of his drink.
I leaned back and smiled. Maybe this six months wouldn't be as bad as I thought. Maybe Edward would be a nice friend, I closed my eyes and sighed, trying to relax, maybe he was just acting maybe he really was...
"Oh I think I gave you a hickey on your stomach.." my eyes shot open and I looked down noticing the red mark in the little skin my shirt was exposing. I grunted.
"And by the way you still owe me twelve thousand dollars."
... an asshole.
