Ch 8 surprise
Rosalie POV
I was going to find Bella. I had told the whole family that I wanted to go on a week-long hunting trip, to arrange my thoughts. But, of course, my sweet dear Emmett had wanted to come with me. I had told him that I really wanted to be alone; he had understood and let me go.
I was first going to check Hollywood that was the most likely place that she would be. I could be there in about two hours. I am going to be able to see Bella again! I remember what happened after Edward pushed Tanya on the floor …
-Flashback-
"HEY! SHUT UP!" Edward screeched at Tanya. It took him long enough to come to his senses!
"I don't get it!" Tanya whined like a first grader, "She's just a little human, why do you guys like her so much? I mean … you have ME here and you're over there sulking about her."
Emmett said "I'm surprised! I didn't know you knew what 'sulking' meant, you whore!" and with that he had her slammed up against the wall, strangling her, not that it would really do anything. The best part about this whole thing was that Edward didn't do a thing about it. Normally, he would defend her to the –almost- death. At least once a day Tanya would start a fight.
Just then Edward stormed out of the house while muttering something about thinking, we all let him be.
-End Flashback-
That was the best night I had had since Bella left and the treacherous Tanya entered our lives. Oh god, did I hate her! I also remembered the announcer on the television say something about a wild child …
-Flashback-
The announcer on the TV said "That was a great performance by Bella Swan! Also know as Hollywood's little wild child. She is usually at the center of the scene at parties," just then the screen showed a video of Bella at a bar, she was dancing like there was no tomorrow, and she was pretty good, everybody –and I mean everybody- was watching her. "She also goes around picking fights off the street." And –like last time- the screen showed a video of Bella. This time it showed Bella straddling a guy, who was bigger than Emmett, and punching him in the face. "Another one of her fave past-times is breaking guys' hearts." This time there was no video. "She was also caught last week by the L.A.P.D. smoking crystal meth, a dangerous drug. Nobody knows where she came from, she just showed up April 10, 2009 at the age of 18, looking for some people to start a band. Her boyfriend, Jamie Khal, a guitar player and lead male vocalist in Pointing Up was talking about her past and he said 'I'm not really sure what happened, but she said that she was hurt really bad and couldn't take it anymore. She needed a new life, something to take away the pain.' Not even Bella's own boyfriend knows where she was!"
Bella POV
After my concert on the television, I had decided to go home and have a nice mellow night, which was very unusual for me. I went upstairs to my bedroom and went to the closet. I took off the outfit I had been wearing and opted for something more comfortable. I came out wearing blue, green, and white loose flannel pants and a blue wife-beater. I also had my green frog slippers.
I went to the kitchen, grabbed a carton of moose tracks ice cream and a spoon, and then headed towards the couch. I wanted a chick flick, so I put in 'The Notebook' and started to try and put a dent in my ice cream carton.
I was half way through the movie and the ice cream when my cell phone rang. I looked and it was Jamie calling. "Hey Jamie!" I said while answering.
"Hey babes! Where you at?" he said.
"Oh! I am at home, I wanted to take it easy tonight." I replied. There was a long pause and then he broke out laughing.
"No, seriously, hun. Why would you be at home? You are out every night of the week? Are you PMSing? Do you want me to come over? I will, but I am having a lot of fun here and I don't want to help you …" he trailed off.
"Yeah, I am at home. I needed a break. You don't have to come over." I said, but I whispered, "I would like you to."
I knew he had heard me but he chosen to ignore me and he hung up. Then the doorbell rang. I grabbed my ice cream and walked to the door. I opened the door to see who it was and I dropped my ice cream in surprise.
