Previously. . .
I sighed. To tell or not to tell. On one hand she did tell me her story which must have been hard. But on the other, I've never told anyone before. I looked into Bella's eyes and she must have known I was looking for something because she stayed quiet.
I decided.
SammyPOV
"Okay, if I tell you, you have to come to Seattle with me to go shopping."
"Shopping? Really?" She groaned.
"Yes, shopping. I have all this money and I don't know what to do! I already sorted half of it into different insurances and savings and all that but I still have millions. I'm completely intimidated so tomorrow we can go shopping! We can even get Halloween costumes!!!!" I squealed. I hated holidays but Halloween was my all time favorite.
Bella laughed. "Okay, okay. Just because of the Halloween costumes. I. Love. Halloween!" She said with a big smile. I smiled back.
"There's something I need to tell you before I start. Something that's super duper secret."
Bella's face went serious. "Go on."
"I practice witchcraft."
"... What?" She asked dead panned.
"Would you like a demonstration?" I asked with a smirk.
"Sure."
I cast a fairly simple levitating spell. My eyes went from a dull gray to blue and green with designs in it and light blue swirls around it. {[Pic On Profile Under 'Magic Eye']}
BellaPOV
"No. Way." She was levitating the whole freaking couch with just a few muttered Latin words! And her eyes were just... Wow.
She just laughed. "Yes. Way. Now do you want me to go on with the story or do you want to just leave now?" She asked quietly. I could see the fear of rejection in her eyes though she tried desperately to hide it. "It's not a happy story."
I looked her in the eye seriously and said. "This may sound cheesy but I'm here to listen. If you want to tell me then I'll sit and listen, I'm not going to pressure you. And I'm not leaving."
She smiled and set the couch back on the floor with a wave of her hand. "Okay then. My parents fought all the time. Like all the time. My sisters and I were forced to sit there and listen to them scream at each other. They would go all night if they felt like it. My Dad was an alcoholic as well as a drug addict and a smoker. My Mom was a chain smoker and a drug addict. They used to do crack but they moved on to weed so I guess it could have been worse. We were always poor. My parents sold my Christmas and birthday gifts for drugs. We lived on Mr. Noodles and water. We each had about one outfit that had no holes in it. We went from living in dirty cockroach infested welfare buildings to motel rooms to homeless shelters. I was used to it. That's why it's so weird having money." Her eyes started to turn red with what I assumed to be anger. {[ Pic On Profile Under 'Angry Eye']}
"I was only when I turned 13 when I started realizing that this shit is fucked up. I started going for walks alone at night which isn't smart when you live in Scarborough, Toronto. I ran into this group of guys one night that 'liked the way I moved' or some shit like that. After some choice words they grabbed me and tried to molest and rape me. I let all my anger out. Before anger management I was a really angry person. I still am but it takes a lot to get me angry. Surprisingly I won. I wasn't even practicing witchcraft back then, I didn't start 'till I was 14. I walked away with a stab wound above my left breast and a bunch of bruises but that's it. Apparently a man saw me. He offered me a job as an underground fighter. I'd get paid and get to release my anger. I took it." Her eyes started to go back to their natural silver.
"Any ways, my Dad got drunk last Christmas and told me he regretted adopting me. I didn't even know I was adopted. He told me all about my real parents, showed me the safe where he kept the checks they sent me and the house and money that they left me in their will. He showed me the letter they wrote me all the while telling me how worthless I was that not even my parents wanted me. The note said that my Mom was just too young to take care of me but she loved me. I found Wanda and came to move in with her."
I stared blankly at her. "I think I hate the assholes that raised you." I then quickly covered my mouth. I don't swear.
She laughed. "Don't worry. I know I do."
We talked and laughed until I went home to cook Charlie some dinner.
THE NEXT DAY
SammyPOV
I was just reading some X-Men comics (yes, I know I'm a dork) when Bella walked in. We decided to take Bella's Volvo seeing as I didn't get my motorcycle yet.
As we drove we were singing along with the radio. Bella had a really good voice and I was pretty good to if I do say so myself.

That's pretty much how it went the whole way there. Singing and laughing the whole way.
We were on our second trip after putting all our bags in the car because we couldn't carry them all. We were now looking for costumes. I was trying to coax Bella into the Victoria's Secret shop for our costumes. They were so hot!
"Come on Iz! At least look at them!" I begged.
She let out a mock suffering sigh. "Fine. But I'm only looking." Heheh. Not for long.
"I'm thinking an Alice in wonderland theme?" I looked over to Bella noticed her staring at a Alice costume. Perfect! The costume she was looking at was a short sexy blue Alice dress with a white apron and thigh high white sock with black bows on them and little school girl shoes. The top half of her dress was tight while the bottom poofed out. {[Pic On Profile Under 'Bella's Costume']}
After some some strong persuasion, I got Bella to let me buy it for her.
Now on to my costume. I wanted to be the Queen Of Hearts. The helper or whatever you call those people, helped me pick out the perfect one. She was really nice and let me try it on and everything. My costume was black leather with three red hearts going down my top half and a little bit of red on the bottom. The top half was tight and the short bottom half was poofed outwards. It came with thigh high black stockings. I had to add black arm bands to cover the scars on my wrist though. {[Pic On Profile Under 'Samantha's Costume']}
We packed up all our stuff and headed back home, both nervous about school tomorrow though she was the only one I'd let know that.
Rate, review, whatever. - C.B. (:
