Chapter Four.
Surprise
I woke up in the middle of the night but felt something beside me. I just turned toward whatever it was and fell back asleep.
I heard noises in the room but didn't know where they were coming from.
I didn't feel like opening my eyes at the moment. I felt comfortable and I wasn't going to move.
Finally, I could understand what they were saying.
They were all saying things like. "how cute" or "never know it could happen." and even "they look perfect together."
Wait. Who looked perfect together?
I snapped my eyes open. I looked straight in front of me.
It was Edward. He had his arm wrapped around my waist. His face was only inches away from mine.
I gasped. Was that what I felt earlier?
Alice, Jasper, Rose, and Emmett were all staring at me. Aw, man.
"You know, Bella, you and Edward look lovely together." Alice commented.
"Why didn't you wake me up when you saw that he was holding me?" I was mad at that.
"You guys looked so comfortable so I let you guys sleep." Alice was smiling. This isn't a smiling matter.
I groaned and pushed myself up. Well I tried to at least. Edward had his arm around me and seemed like he wasn't letting go.
"Edward." I patted his arm to try and wake him.
He just groaned and pulled me closer.
"Edward, get up." I shook him.
His eyes fluttered open."Hmm?" He mumbled.
"Can I have my body back?" Sarcasm was clearly in my voice.
"Oh, yeah, sorry." He lifted up his arm so I could stand up.
"So, this is our last day before school starts. Want to go out for breakfast?" I could tell Alice already has plans.
"Ehh." I took a minute to think. " I suppose."
I heard a chorus of yeahs.
"Denny's it is!" And we went to the car.
"Bella you ride with me and Jasper. Rose and Emmett can ride with Edward."Alice told me.
Good that's what I wanted. To not be with him.
Alice drove pretty quickly to the restaurant. We got a table big enough for all of us and sat down.
I wasn't really hungry so I just ordered some eggs and pancakes with some orange juice. Alice had gotten eggs, bacon, and hash browns. Rosalie gotten a fruit salad bowl. I mentally laughed about that. She was skinny enough. Jasper, Edward, and Emmett had gotten the Grand Slam with pretty much everything they had for breakfast. Jeez. I couldn't even eat all of that.
I picked at my food. I had only eaten a few bites of my eggs and pancakes.
I just wasn't hungry. I wondered if the reason why I wasn't hungry is because I had woken up next to Edward.
I felt a hand on my arm."Bella?"
I looked up at Alice. She looked worried.
"Hm?" I mumbled. I wasn't completely aware of everything at the moment.
"I asked if everything was okay. You seem... different, depressed even.You haven't even touched your food." Alice asked concerned.
I looked back up. All the Cullens and Hales were looking at me. What was I suppose to say.
I took a moment to find an answer.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just not feeling hungry." I half- lied. Because I wasn't hungry. But if I was fine or not..? I don't know.
"If you say so.."Alice probably knew I was lieing." Well, I was thinking maybe we could all go the the mall."
There was a silence. Jasper decided he might as well as agree first."I'm in."
"Me too." And I did really want to go. Maybe it will be fun, hanging out with all of them.
Rosalie smiled."Like you even had to ask me."
"I guess I can go too. Since I love my family." Emmett laughed. I could tell he didn't want to go though.
Everyone turned there heads to Edward. He sighed." Fine, I guess I'm in."
I looked at him, closely. It can't be that bad.
We paid for the meal and left. Nobody let me see it so I didn't know how much it cost.
We were off to the mall. I was again, in the car with Alice and Jasper.
Alice pulled to a stop. I guess we were at the mall.
She got out and walked towards the Volvo. Jasper and I followed behind.
I remembered the last time I was here with Rose and Alice. I busted up laughing. I remember how Rose wore a sundress, Alice wore a formal dress, and I... I looked like a girl off of Spice World.
"What's so funny, Bella?" Alice asked.
"I was remembering the last time.." I started laughing again.
Soon they started laughing as well. The guys stared at us, totally confused.
That made me laugh harder. "Well, let's just say.. I'm not playing dress up today." And I took off.
We walked around for hours. We pretty much talked and had a good time.
I kind of felt lonely, though. Alice was with Jasper. Rose was with Emmett. And I was by myself. Well then there was Edward.
The whole time I didn't bother looking at him. I felt weird around him now. But I'm not so sure why.
I remembered how when I was at home I used to do these kind of things with Katie.
We always went to the arcade and blew off our money. That made me have an idea.
I swear you could have heard the light bulb go off. "How 'bout we go to the arcade, guys?"
I heard a chorus of yeahs. We all started walking towards it.
When we got there, it wasn't crammed so we could do more things.
Jasper and Emmett started playing Dance Dance Revolution. It was funny the way they were moving.
Alice, Rose, Edward and I were all cheering them on. "Come on! You can do it!" We all called stuff like that.
Emmet ended up winning. They gave each other a high five.
Alice and Jasper went there own way and so did Rosalie and Emmett.
I stood there with Edward.."So..."
"So.." I really don't know what to say.
"Let's go throw the ball things." He said and walked over to it.
I ended up losing. So he won. He got a lot of tickets.
I started to wonder around since Edward left to go some place.
Something tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around.
It was Edward holding a big, purple, Tasmanian devil off of Looney Tunes. "I.. I, ugh, got this for you, Bella." He handed me it.
I smiled. He was actually being nice. I gave him a hug." Thanks."
"No problem." He said. We started walking to where Alice and Jasper were.
"Hey, it's getting kind of late. Let's get going." Alice said.
We got Rosalie and Emmett and went to the cars. I looked out the window the whole time, lost in thought.
When we got there I grabbed my devil and walked to the dorm.
Jasper walked Alice to the room. They said goodnight and gave one another a kiss.
"Night Bella!" He called as he walked away.
I looked up. Edward was still in the doorway, talking to Alice. "Yeah I'm going to bed. Bye Alice. Bye Bella."
I waved goodbye. I headed to the bathroom and changed my clothes.
Man, tomorrow I start classes.
There you go. Last night at my mom's, I took out a notebook and wrote down everything. So what do you think?
Oh! And I also have the next 3 chapters planned. Not ready though. I'll be writing the next one soon, so review.
