Chapter 10
Edward's
POV.
We
finally capture Alice after 5 laps around the house. Emmett joined us
while carrying a foot long hoagie
"What did she do to you anyway?" Emmett asked us.
"She poured a bucket of water on Bella and I while we were sleeping."
"Alice, You can't just pour buckets of water on people when they sleep. It's...rude...or something. Just don't do it!" He turned around and left. I looked down the hall that we ran through, and Emmett's hoagie was everywhere. I closed my eyes and sighed.
"Emmett!" I called.
"Yeah? You want me to help you torture her?" He asked excitingly.
"Not
exactly...I want you to clean the hoagie up." I pointed at the
mess.
He looked at the loaf of bread in his hands and
mumbled.
"No wonder I was just getting bread." He said quietly.
Alice was tied to a dining room chair, and we brought all of her things from her bedroom out into the hallway.
"What are you doing?" Alice asked anxiously.
"Payback, Alice." I started." You've been pouring water on me for...years." I told her. She smiled at her accomplishments.
"What item should we destroy first, Bella?" I asked.
She smiled, and then picked up a Bracelet with millions of little charms on it.
"Pssh. That's nothing." She said. I broke off an "I Love to Shop!" charm, and a tiny noise left Alice's mouth.
I took off another charm. An "A" -for Alice- and she narrowed her eyes waiting to see what I would pick up next.
"Hmmm." I thought to myself. I bent down and searched through the pile.
I now found a Juicy Couture purse.
I handed it to Emmett, He did help capture her, and tie the knot.
He took a marker from his pocket and then scribbled his signature on one side, mine and Bella's on the other.
"Emmett!? Do you understand how expensive that was?" She squealed.
"No, I don't really care, either!" He pretends to giggle.
"Humph." She pouted.
"Maybe we should stop now, guys," Bella said.
"She has a ton of these." I assured her. "I usually help Emmett."
"Yeah, Alice once ate my Ribs" He smiled to himself."That was a bad idea. I tracked her down. Sooo...Don't eat my food. Just a warning."
Emmett picked up a Coach Bag, and she squealed with fright. It's just a purse.
"Okay, Okay!" She said with her eyes locked on the bag." If I swear not to dump water on you again...Will you stop killing me?"
I shrugged my shoulders." Fine." I grabbed Bella's hand and led her back into my room.
"Wait Untie me!" She screamed."Emmett! Don't leave!" I heard his heavy footsteps on the stairs. Alice was now alone in the hallway.
Bella and I were almost fully dry, But we still changed into dry clothes. It was 5:45 AM. I was going to kill Alice.
I hesitantly put my arm around her waist and pulled her close to me slowly. She didn't pull away; she snuggled closer to me.
Alright...She flipped over, facing me, and put her face into my chest. My head was resting on the top of hers. She eventually fell asleep, and after a while of staring around my room, I did too.
Bella's POV"Hey...Edward, Bella." I felt a nudge on my shoulder, and then they tried to move the hair from my face.
"You promised, Alice." Edward mumbled, with his head in his pillow.
I heard a chuckle. "It's Carlisle." He pulled off the covers and then shook the bed.
"Come on, kids." He said.
"Why?" Edward whined.
"You...need to get dressed." He said hesitantly.
"What for?" Edward asked again.
"Uhhhh. Well, Charlie's Funeral is today." He said slowly.
I sat up quickly and stared at Carlisle in shock. Edward slid from under the covers and moved next to me.
"Funeral? You guys planned the funeral already?" I asked.
"Well, actually Alice planned the funeral, and...Booked the church, and...Found a very nice gravesite."
Edward was gripping around my shoulders, pulling me closer to his side. Carlisle sat on the edge of the bed and touched the top of my hand slowly. I stared at how his hand was smooth, and tan. While mine was dry, and pale white. Carlisle was the only tan one in the family. Except for Alice, but she goes to a Tanning Salon.
"Bella, Alice bought an outfit for you this morning...After I untied her." He glanced at Edward for a second, and then fixed his eyes on my face again. He saw the tears starting to form in my eyes, and knew now was the time to retreat.
"You two get dressed." He said walking towards the door, then swiftly turned around and looked at Edward. "In...Separate bathrooms." Edward nodded and Carlisle left the room shutting the door.
We got off the bed and he went into his closet, and then pulled out a black suit with a black tie. Then went back in and brought out his shiny black dress shoes. He walked over to his Maple wood dresser and grabbed a pair of black socks. I stood in the middle of the room watching him get his things ready.
He glanced around the room -looking for something- and saw me watching him.
"What?" He asked. Then walked over to me silently.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm just not sure what to do." I replied.
"Hmm. You could get a shower while I get Alice to put together your things." He suggested.
"Alright." I looked around, and walked to a pink door in his room. I heard a chuckle from behind me while I opened the door to a massive walk in closet. With girl clothes nicely hung up on pink hangers. I turned around to find Edward laughing at me.
I tried to hold back a smile. "Shut up." I walked to another door across the room. The door was blue -baby blue.
"Bella.." He said before I touched the handle. He pointed to the other pink door. "That one is your bathroom." He told me -smiling.
"Why do you have pink doors anyway?" I asked.
"Alice painted it while we were sleeping. I'm surprised you didn't smell the fumes. I kicked her out before she could finish the other side." He shrugged. I went back to the pink closet door, and grabbed a soft black towel from the hook on the back of the door.
"I can't remember the last time I saw five doors in somebody's bedroom." I mumbled on my way to my bathroom.
He laughed as I shut the door. I flipped the switch, and was in shock. Charlie made just as much money as Carlisle did and I never got this size of a bathroom.
I turned the turned the shower handle to Hot and got un-dressed. I opened the glass door, and entered the hot water. I stood in the burning water for a few minutes, and then started to wash my hair. I heard the door open and slam -causing me to jump- while I was shaving my legs. My bathroom was completely stocked. Razors..Shampoo..Conditioner, everything.
"Hello?" I asked. "Edward?"
"No silly, it's Alice." She said.
I sighed in relief.
I felt a sharp pain in my left leg. I looked down curiously. Red liquid was running down my leg. Blood. The shower was suddenly spinning in a fast circle. I had to put my hand on the glass to stop myself from falling down.
"You okay?" She asked anxiously. Obviously seeing my hand.
"Yeah." I said un-steadily. I looked down at my leg again. "I just...I just..." I trailed off.
She opened the glass door, making me fall on my back.
"Ahh." I said quickly. I was on the shower floor, with my leg still bleeding.
"Oh my god, Bella." She said. She reached out a hand, and I grabbed it. The blood stopped and so did the spinning room. I notice that I was still naked, and that Alice was still in the shower with me.
She looked at me from head to toe. "Danggg, Bella. You're lucky!" She told me.
"What!?" I asked -not sure what she had meant.
She sighed and then put her hands up to her torso area.
I covered myself up when I found out that she meant my Breast.
"Alice!" I yelled laughing. She laughed back as she backed out of the shower.
"You guys alright?" Edward asked.
"Yes, Edward. We're fine." She assured him.
"Alright." He mumbled.
"Hurry up, I have your things all picked out. You are going to love them!" She squealed.
I rinsed off the rest of my leg with my eyes closed. I finished shaving my legs, and then rinsed the rest of my body off. I opened the glass door, grabbed my towel, and looked around the massive bathroom for my clothes. Alice is sitting on the vanity chair, scaring me to death.
"Ahhh!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. She jumped out of her chair and fell to the ground, along with a bottle of clear liquid. "I'm so sorry, Alice." I apologized laughing. She was laughing on the floor and was so red in the face. She was waving her hand in front of her face and almost gasping for air -this was just how Alice laughed, though.
I went to grab her hand, and then slipped on the substance in the bottle and fell on my butt.
We were laughing like crazy on my bathroom floor. We finally calmed down when Edward knocked anxiously on the door.
"Bella!? Are you okay?" He asked me.
I started laughing again. "Yeah!" I hollered back.
We stopped laughing and the cut on my leg stung.
"Ouch." I said. I put my finger into the puddle and then smelled it.
"Nail Polish Remover?" I asked her.
She started laughing again, and then nodded.
"Alice can you zipper this up?" I asked her.
She put down the straightener then pulled up the zipper.
"Thanks." I said.
"Mhmm." She replied, then she went back to work on my hair. She was all done, everybody but Rosalie, Me...and Emmett were done. I started to paint my nails while Alice was finishing up my hair.
After I was done, I walked out of the bathroom and saw Edward pacing around in our Bedroom.
He took a glance over at me, then the ground. Then he stopped and looked at me again.
"You look beautiful." He stated.
I blushed. "Thanks. You look very nice." I told him.
He grinned at me, and took my hand. Alice was following us down the stairs and once we got to the final set of stairs everyone was quiet. They we all staring at me, which was making me feel self-cautious.
Esme came up a hugged me. "You look Gorgeous, Darling." She told me.
"Thank-you." I'm sure I was still blushing.
Carlisle opened the door.
"Time to go." Emmett said standing up and walking out the door. Edward squeezed my hand, and then led me to the Volvo.
I walked out of the house and saw people standing on the lawn. Angela.
"Bella!" She screamed running towards me.
"I'm so so so sorry about Charlie...your house. Your life!" She said.
My life? What's wrong with my life?
"Hmm." That was all I could say. I looked past her and saw my friends standing with Roses in their hands. They all were wearing Jeans and simple tee shirts.
"Oh God." I said covering my mouth.
"Thanks guys." I told them. They handed me the flowers and we had 2 minute conversations each, I didn't want to be late to my own father's funeral. The more I thought about it...the more that I missed him.
I finally got into the passenger seat of Edward's car. Alice and Emmett rode with us. While and Rosalie, Esme, Jasper, and Rosalie's Boyfriend, Jimmy, went in Carlisle's Mercedes.
"Good Job, Bella." Alice said, patting my shoulder.
"Huh?" I asked.
"We thought you were going to cry a river in our front yard." Emmett said for her. She punched him in the arm, knowing a simple smack wouldn't bother him, and he pushed her against the door, and then shoved his armpit in her face. Ew, Gross. I feel so bad for Alice. Who knows what kind of things are under there.
"Hey...Guys! Guys!" He yelled at them. "Stop." Emmett put down his arm and she stuck her tongue at him. He narrowed his eyes then lifted his arm up again to warn her.
"NO!" She begged."Jeeze, Could you please try to even attempt to clean under there!?" She asked him. He smiled. I chuckled. I never had a Brother or Sister to fight with. Must be fun.
Please Review. I'm sorry it took so long.
