BPOV
I lay on my bed sobbing for hours after Alice and Rosalie yelled at me, hoping that I'd wear myself out and fall asleep, but I was just too upset. I was just starting to drift off, when I heard my phone ringing. I recognised the song immediately.
Together, together, together
everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together,
were there for each other every time
Together, together come on
let's do this right
It was "We're all in this together" from High school Musical. Alice had insisted on assigning it as her tone after we watched it together... Over and over... Singing along with every song. The memory brought on a whole new round of tears, and I wondered why she would be calling. There was a very slim chance that she'd decided she believed me, but I didn't wanna take that chance. I silenced the call, and tried to calm myself down.
A shower seemed like a good idea, and I was incredibly thankful these trailers had fully equipped bathrooms. I stripped down, and let the water run over me for a bit, before lathering up my hair with my favourite shampoo. I stayed under the water until it started to run cold, at which point I turned off the taps, shivering a little. I dressed in jeans and a tee, and slouched back to my bed, picking up my cell on the way. There were 8 missed calls, and it started ringing again as I held it, startling me so much that I dropped it. As it hit the ground it flipped open, answering the call, and I cursed. I had no choice now. Before I could pretend I hadn't heard my cell, but that wouldn't work now. I bent and picked it up, putting it to my ear carefully.
"Hello?"
"BELLA! Oh my god Bella I'm so sorry! You weren't lying and we were so horrid and I'm such a bad friend. I can't believe what I did to you I'm so sorry, Bella? BELLA? SAY SOMETHING! BEL-
"Calm down Alice!"
In truth I'd been waiting for her to take a breath, so I could say something, but I realised now that she was probably too stressed to remember to pause.
"Bella I'm so sorry"
"It's ok Alice. It's ok... Listen, get your driver to pull over and I'll come over to your trailer."
"You're so nice. I feel even worse. I'm so sorry."
I told her to calm down again, and hung up, then used an intercom system to contact the driver. He pulled over, and I grabbed a jacket in case it got cold before running towards the trailer parked behind my own. My driver watched me in the side mirror, and started to pull away as Alice's door opened.
Emmett stood before me, and held out a hand to help me inside. I walked up the three stairs, and was suddenly attacked. I screamed, until I realised it was Alice and Rosalie, not attacking but hugging me. They were both crying and apologising so much that I burst into tears as well, just as we started moving again. Emmett stood awkwardly to the side, evidently not knowing what to do. Eventually he decided it'd be best to try and move us somewhere we could sit, so he gently ushered us towards the lounge, where I sat between a sobbing Rosalie and Alice. I looked up to see Emmett backing away, but I stopped him
"Oh no you don't! I need someone to explain this! Why did they hate me? What happened?"
He sighed and sat down on one of the lounge chairs.
"Okay, long story short, Edward saw you and Jake and thought that you guys had something going on. As more than friends. So we played video games, but then Rose told him to talk to you, but then you were fucking Jake, so he got drunk and slept with club-girl, so Alice got angry until he told her you fucked Jake, so she got angrier! So I went to yell at you and Jake, but you weren't you, Leah was you, but Alice and Rose didn't know, and they thought you were Leah... Well that Leah was you... And then you ran away, and I ran and told Rose, and her and Alice cried, and then I made jasper get up and go to Edward, and then you wouldn't answer your phone for ages, and then you did, and now you're here."
I leaned back in my chair, letting it all sink in. I should've known Emmett's explanation would be blunt, but it still shocked me. Up until just a moment before, I'd been holding on to the hope that nothing had happened between Edward and the girl leaving his trailer. But hearing Emmett confirm it was a lot to handle. I don't know how long I sat in that seat, but at some point Alice fell asleep leaning on my shoulder, and Rose soon followed. We pulled into a service station just as the sun was beginning to set, and I carefully got up, taking care not to wake Alice and Rose. Emmett looked at me questioningly; he'd been playing gears of war for the last few hours, but I didn't doubt he noticed my lack of movement.
"Fresh air" I said simply, and he nodded. I walked down the stairs, and out into the cool air, shrugging on my jacket as I went. I started walking slowly, and noticed the service station was actually part of a shopping complex. I walked towards it, and saw that there was a restaurant, a supermarket, an electronics and gaming shop, a music shop, and a motorcycle shop. I heard someone giggling, and turned to see Jake tickling a girl he'd met a few weeks ago.
That must be Leah. She's gorgeous. I'm glad he's found someone.
They hadn't seen me, so I walked towards the oddly matched complex, fighting tears. He'd always been mine, and now he wasn't. I knew it was selfish, but I resented Leah for taking him away from me.
He wasn't yours. You rejected him. It's your fault.
I felt a few tears escaping, but I quickly wiped them away with the back of my hand, finding myself inside the bike shop. I looked around, and remembered Jake teaching me to ride one. It had taken a lot of convincing, but eventually Renee had allowed it, and let me get my licence.
"Can I help you miss?"
I was pulled out of my thoughts by a well built man in overalls. He stood about 6'1, with dark brown hair, and a tanned complexion.
"I'm fine for now thank you" I replied, turning towards the exit. I took a few steps, but stopped in my tracks when a mop of bronze hair caught my eye. Edward was standing near his trailer door, his arms around a voluptuous blonde girl.
My eyes started to tear up, but none fell, as I turned back to the man, who I now noticed had a nametag reading "Brett" clipped to his overalls.
"Which of these bikes can I buy right now, drive away?"
EPOV
I looked up from the CD I was signing at the sound of a roaring motorbike, just in time to see a bright red motorbike peel away from the shop it had obviously just been purchased from, and felt my insides twist up in horror. The rider had been wearing a helmet, but I recognised Bella's old jacket from the time we'd spent together. It had been her mom's, which made it the one piece of clothing she owned that Alice never criticized. I shoved the CD back at the girl who owned it, and started running after Bella. It didn't take long to realise that wouldn't work, so I ran to the person who she grew up with: Jacob. His trailer door was closed, but I didn't even knock. I flew in; panicking that Bella'd get hurt. He was in the bathroom, so I banged on the door like a crazy man, and screamed his name. He opened the door wrapped in a towel, and I quickly explained what I'd seen, and to my surprise he laughed. I stared at him in shock, until he explained that Bella had gotten her licence a year ago. Needless to say, I was still shocked, but panicking less. I drifted to Alice's trailer, and found everyone there, deep in discussion.
"What's going on guys?"
They all looked up at once, having obviously not noticed me come inside. Alice hesitated, and then spoke,
"We're gonna help you get Bella back."
