Yes, I know you are all proud of me, another chapter the very next day! So we left Bella crying last night. We are now at the 3rd verse, Part 1!
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
Bella's POV
Edward and I are hanging out today. . . in the park. How did this happen? One car ride that is how.
*Flash Back*
I woke with a start, and looked at the clock. 5:12. I looked around my room, and everything seemed to look just fine, so why did my eyes and heart hurt?
I wiped the crust out of my eyes and made my way to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and gasped.
I found the reason why my eyes hurt, my eyes were blood shot, and there were white streaks down my cheeks. I must have cried last night, but at what? I thought about what I had done last night. All I had done was watch a movie with Edward, but I didn't remember any of the movie. I had to think hard about what exactly happened.
And all of last night came flooding back. I whimpered to myself, finding the reason why my heart hurt, and the reason my eyes were bloodshot.
I quickly showered. I even shaved, and used conditioner. I got out and dried myself off. I was pleased that my eyes had lost the red. I decided something in my head.
I will dress to impress for the next few days, and actually try to put myself out of my box. If Edward would rather be with Lauren and change plans with me all because of her. . . then I needed some more friends.
I called Alice with my home phone.
It wasn't until I realized I still had her phone from last night, that I would either have to call the phone to her house, and wake everyone in the household. . . or call Edward and wake only 2 people. I thought about it severely.
I decided I would call Edward.
I looked at the clock. Just barely 5:30. Good the earlier the better, is what I always say.
I walked over to my french doors that led to my balcony, and pulled back the curtains just enough to have a clear shot to his bed room. I pushed send.
I watched it go off, and for a minute I didn't think he would pick it up.
He did. He fumbled with it, and I laughed out loud about how funny he looked trying to get ahold of his phone. He didn't even look at the caller ID when he flipped it up.
"Hello?" Edward said, his voice husky from sleep
"Hi." I said, I was going to continue with "Yeah, I need to speak with Alice." but he cut me off.
"Bella, my gosh I am so sorry about last night. I went inside, and Esme told me you went home. I took Lauren home, and I tried to see you after, but your mom said you were in bed already. Bella I am so sorry." Edward said this all in a rush
"Um, it's fine. It has happened before." I told him like I didn't care, I continued "I need to speak with Alice."
"Oh" Was all Edward said
He just sat there on his bed for a moment. If I didn't know any better I would say he was a little hurt.
"Um, Edward are you still there?" I asked
I saw his face compose itself.
"Yeah, hold on." and he stood up and walked out of his room, I couldn't see what he was going to do but I hoped it was give the phone to Alice. After a few seconds I considered what I could do.
"Edward? I, CinderBella, need a carriage today. Will you please be my driver?" I figured if I could make him smile he wouldn't beat himself up . . . to much.
"You need a ride? Yeah, of course I can give you one!" Edward said, he sounded a great deal happier, "Here is Alice."
"Bella?! Why on earth are you talking to this butt?" Alice practically screamed in my ear.
"Well Alice, you don't exactly have your phone, I can't call you. And I didn't want to wake the whole household. So Edward's number was my last option. But I have a question." I told her
"And what exactly is this question?" She asked with a hint of mischief in her voice
I knew I was going to regret this.
"Yeah, I know I am going to regret this, but can you come over and give me a makeover?" I asked
"AHHHH!!!!! Yes! I will be over in 20 minutes! Can you manage to blow dry your hair, so it doesn't go funky?" She said this with so much excitement in her voice, I knew I was in for trouble!
"Yeah I can. I am not challenged with a blow dryer." I told her
She just scoffed and said
"On second thought. . . go and eat." she said "Would you like to wear the red outfit?"
I didn't even consider I just said
"Yes!"
And with a quick exchange of "bye" we hung up
I went down to eat.
I made breakfast for my family, pancakes, french toast, eggs and bacon.
I guess the smell got my brother out of bed, it was just barley 6:00, and he sat himself at the table waiting to start eating.
I pulled out the syrup, ketchup, butter, jam, peanut butter, milk and orange juice.
I had barley gotten past my french toast when Alice showed up.
"Come on!" Alice said, "Lets get started!"
"Alice," I told her "I want to eat."
She looked at me like I was crazy,
"Fine," she said "bring up some for me. We will eat while you are getting ready."
I agreed with her.
Two minutes later and two plates filled with food, and a cup of milk and OJ and a cup a syrup, we made our way up the stairs.
Once in my bed room she had me get dressed. I looked at myself a little longer than normal, and went out. A look at her plate, and a quick glance to her mouth, told me she had stuffed the food from her plate into her mouth.
I laughed at her, and she mumbled
"What? I had to hurry!" but it sounded more like 'Gwat? I hag to blurry'
I shook my head as she swallowed the last of what was in her mouth.
"Okay. . . curls or straight?" she asked. Wow she is giving me a choice?
"Curls?" I said, only it sounded more like a question.
"Okay, I will let your hair air dry." Alice "Make-up?"
"Yesterday." I told her it still sounded like a question, but I sounded more sure of myself
"Alright, we are set!" Alice said with a giggle.
She started my make-up. She said she had to run home, because she forgot her brushes. I told her she shouldnt' be using brushes, and she said it was a new one for her eyeliner and that I shouldn't look yet.
But curiosity got the better of me and I looked. She had done the stuff from yesterday yes. . . but had also given me eyeshadow. My eye looked dark.
She came in.
"Bella why on earth did you look?" she sounded annoyed "I didn't want you to see it yet!"
"Alice? What on earth have you done to my eye? It looks like I have a black eye!" I said
"It does not! It looks like you have a smoky eye!" Alice said "Learn your terms!"
"Alice I refuse to go to school looking like this!" I told her and folded my arms across my chest
"Fine" she said with a pouty face "Please?" I shook my head
She grabbed out a wash clothe and started to wipe the dark eye shadow off.
I didn't look until she had finished my hair. After she slid the black headband into place she said
"Bella will you just look?" Alice said "It doesn't look bad!" and she was right. I didn't look bad. I looked good.
"I will need something to cover my shoulders though." I told her
"Oh right." she said. "I forgot about that. Try this." and she tossed me a black cardigan
"Thanks Alice, I look great!" I told her and gave her a big hug.
The clock read 6:53
I still had a little bit of time. I needed to do my school work, anyway, so while I did my math, Alice got herself ready.
By the time I had to go Alice had left and I realized I had not had her pick shoes. I went to my closet and there on the floor were some high heels, and a note from Alice.
'Dear Bella' it read 'wear these with your outfit. It will look better than tennis shoes!'
I slipped them on, thank goodness it wasn't to high. I would kill myself for sure.
I got down stair just as Edward knocked on the door. I ran to the door.
"Hi Edward. You ready to go?" I asked him
"Um. Yeah. . . Bella what did Alice do to you?" He asked
"Do you not like it?" I asked him trying to not let myself get hurt by his answer
"No, that's not it. You just. You look really good! . . . But you look fine the way you usually dress. I don't want to have to save my best friend from those perverts at school." He told me
I didn't know how to react. So I laughed
"Bella, come on. Now that is hardly fair. I was just telling you what I thought. You don't have to laugh at me." He told me
"Edward? It's not that. You are worried about the perverts at school? Edward I am a nerd, you don't have to worry trust me." I told him
"Oh, okay. We will see. You just wait!" He said and pulled me to the car.
"Thank you my lovely driver. I appreciate your wonderful coach." I told him with a smile
"Oh you are very welcome CinderBella." Edward said, "would you care for some ball music?"
"Why certainly," I said "I would enjoy the tune of 'Disney 910' please."
"Of course my lady. Anything your heart desires" he said, if only he knew what I really disired, and changed the station to D-910
'You Belong With Me' came on
"Wow this song has been coming on lately" I said
"I don't mind, if you don't" He told me
"No I don't mind." I told him
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesn't get your humour like I do
"So Bella? Because we didn't get to hang out yesterday, do you want to today?" Edward asked me
I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do
"Um, Well when and where?" I asked
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time
"Probably after football practice. At the park?" He said
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me
"Oh okay sure yeah, that sounds fine." I told him
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
"Okay good cause I felt really bad about yesterday." Edward told me
"It's okay, really" I told him "things happen"
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
I snickered. He looked at me questioningly, I just shook my head
"Are you thinking about the song Bella?" He asked me
"Yeah, there is this girl in our school and she told me and Alice once that this was her song for her friend and her. They aren't together. . . yet. Alice is sure that they will get together soon." I told him with a slight smile on my face
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
"And do you think they will?" Edward asked me
"I don't know what to think actually." I told him
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
He nodded to the song and I followed along with him.
The rest of the way to school was silent.
Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
Edward got out of the car and opened the door for me.
"Your castle awaits you." he told me, "No go dance with prince charming!"
"What prince are you talking about?"
He shrugged "I will see you later meet me at the park at 4:30, okay?"
I nodded and walked into school
The stairs came after lunch
