Chapter 9: It's Even Better Than the Movies

Yep, it was official. I was completely hating life right about now. Just as I figured it would, the next morning when I woke up, my head was throbbing so damn bad that I could almost swear that there was a speaker turned up on high volume right next to my head. But no, it'd be too easy to use that as an extremely lame excuse. This was all brought on by my very own doing. And now I was suffering because of it. Apparently, fun has its side effects as well. If only I had listened and stopped drinking when Jacob had first told me to. Too late now. If only time machines existed.

Moaning and groaning, I rolled over onto my back and slowly opened my eyes. It didn't take too long for me to realize where I was. Not thinking straight, I sat up quickly and instantly regretted it when I felt like I was going throw up. I fell backwards onto the bed again and waited before trying to get up again. I waited a minute or two for my nausea to pass before sitting up (slowly) this time.

It felt as if my head had just been run over by a bus or something. Sitting up quickly only made the feeling that much worse and also added on the nauseous feeling. I swear that I will never again drink like I did the night before. I mean it! Never again! I mean, goodness gracious. It freaking sucked feeling this way and I never wanted to feel this way again. Especially not on purpose.

Just as I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed, the door flew open ad banged against the wall behind it. I turned my head and tilted it up ever so slowly to find Paul standing in the doorway. Oh, great. I was definitely in for it now. Of all the possibilities of people who could be here, it had to be him. What was up with my luck these days? I was beginning to think that maybe luck wasn't even real. Maybe luck was just a way to make it easier to explain good and bad things happening.

Paul stood there with an amused expression on his face and his arms crossed over his once again shirtless chest. It took me a moment to get reused to it because of the previous times I'd been around him when he'd actually been wearing a shirt.

He grinned at me. "Look who is finally awake."

I rolled my eyes and groaned as I turned back over and stuffed my face into the pillow under my head. If I could have, I wouldn't have woken up just yet. I would've slept right on through the very painful hangover that I was sure would probably never go away if how I was currently feeling was any indication.

"Leave me alone," I mumbled into the pillow.

"Now what would the fun in that be?" he asked, laughing.

I surprisingly managed to turn and sit up quickly, reaching for and grabbing the pillow from behind me and throwing it at him. I was even more surprised when I actually hit him in his face with it, which had been my target all along.

"So drinking gives you good aim then?" he asked, jokingly as he threw the pillow back at me.

I glared up at him and yelled, "Shut up!"

However, I instantly regretted it when the pounding in my head got worse.

"Damn!" I whined, positioning the pillow back onto the bed where it had been before. "Just kill me now!" I exclaimed, rolling over and throwing myself back down face first into the pillow again.

A few moments of silence passed and I was grateful for those moments.

"Here," Paul said finally, breaking the peaceful silence.

I rolled back over and frowned up at him. That is until I saw what he had. I hadn't even realized he'd even left the room. He could definitely be quiet when he wanted to be.

"These should make your headache go away faster," he said, handing me two Tylenol and a bottle of water.

I took them from him and downed the pills in an instant. Then I finished the entire bottle of water in less than a minute after that.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"You're welcome."

"So why are you here?" I asked, curiously. "Where's Jake at?"

"He had some things to take care of," Paul answered, looking at every part of the room except the part I was in.

I raised an eyebrow. "Like what?" I wondered nosily.

For the life of me, I just couldn't figure out why I was in Jacob's bed but Paul was here with me instead of him.

Paul shrugged. "Just things."

"Paul..."

He cut me off. "Everything is fine, Bella. Don't worry about it."

I opened my mouth to protest some more but ended up thinking better of it because of my hangover headache and didn't say anything else.

"Fine." I realized that I wasn't going to get anything else than that out of him. "What time is it?" I asked, changing the subject.

"About 3:30."

My eyes widened. "PM?"

Paul nodded.

"Did I really drink that much last night?!" I asked in shock. "No, do not answer that. My hangover clearly answers that."

Paul laughed. "You should have stopped when Jacob told you to."

I stuck my tongue out at him and ignored him otherwise.

More silence fell until I remembered something.

"Oh shoot!"

"What?" Paul asked, curiously.

"The Cullen's are supposed to be due back in an hour or so."

"And?"

"And I want to be around so that I can see, or at least hear, their reactions!" I answered as I slowly got up out of the bed.

"Do you really think that's a good idea?"

I nodded my head. "Yes, I do think it is a good idea and you can come with as usual."

Paul gave me a look. "Says who?"

"Says me," I replied. "Plus, you know you wanna," I added a moment later. "Besides I promised Jacob I wouldn't go anywhere near them alone. And I want to go, so you go with and I don't break my promise to Jacob."

"Alright, fine. Why not? I got nothing better to do today."

I smiled. "Great!"

"We stay downwind, though. Otherwise they will smell me there and our presences will be given away."

I shook my head and smiled even more. "Deal! Now let's just stop somewhere and get a video camera on the way. That way everyone else can get to laugh at their reactions later, too!"

~TNBTR~

Paul stared at me like I was crazy. "I can not believe you actually brought popcorn here, too."

I shrugged my shoulders and smiled innocently. "I come prepared," I said, winking at him.

He rolled his eyes and shook his head. "In the weirdest way," he muttered under his breath.

"I heard that!"

"I wasn't trying to make you not hear it."

I turned and stuck my tongue out at him.

"Alright so they should be back anytime now," I said, situating myself on the tree branch I was sitting on so that I was straddling it.

If I ended up pulling a clumsy Bella and fell over, I'd be prepared and I'd be holding onto the branch for dear life. There was no way I was falling out of a tree today. I don't even know how I let myself be talked into sitting up in a tree by Paul. I think I agreed somewhere between..."Stop being a sissy" and "You'll get a much better view from up here."

And now here I was sitting in a tree. Oh, no, wait! Correction...I was still hungover and sitting in a tree. Goodness gracious, the things I do in the name of revenge.

"Here," I said, handing the video camera over to Paul.

"What am I suppose to do with this?" he asked as he took it from me.

"You record videos with it," I deadpanned.

He turned and glared at me from his position propped back up against the tree trunk. "I know that."

"Then why'd you ask?"

"I meant why are you giving it to me?" he explained in slight exasperation.

"Why didn't you just come out and say that in the first place?"

"I did not think that I had to!"

"Don't you raise your voice at me!" I shot back. "Just shoot the damn video!"

Paul opened his mouth to protest against me but was cut off by the sound of voices coming from near the house.

"Show time baby!" I whispered, clapping my hands silently together. "Roll the tape, Paul! It is go time!"

"Don't rush me!" Paul whisper yelled back.

Jeez! And everyone says I'm the stubborn one out of the bunch. Yeah, right. I beg to differ right about now.

All of a sudden, a loud scream erupted from the house. I swear I could see the house shake. Quite frankly, I was surprised that all the windows of the house didn't burst thanks to how loud that scream was.

"I take it Alice has seen her room's decorated windows," I giggled, covering my mouth as I did so to muffle what was sure to be rather loud.

But I had a feeling that they were all too preoccupied by what they had found inside the house to actually be paying any attention to what was going on outside of it.

"How are the windows still in tact?" Paul asked, taking the thought right out of my mind.

I laughed. "I was just thinking that same exact thing."

"My nail polish and lipstick!"

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "That is what she gets for putting a price on beauty," I stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

"She will eventually just go out and by more," Paul reminded me. "They do have the money."

I sighed. "Darn, yeah that is true."

"But it's still hilarious."

"That's true, too."

"My china!" I heard Esme cry out seconds later.

"Oops," I said, feeling just the tiniest ping of guilt.

Until I once again remembered and reminded myself that the whole family knew what Edward was doing and didn't even try to stop him.

Not to mention, she could replace the china just as Alice could replace her nail polish and lipstick.

"Mama vamp does not sound too happy."

I shrugged, sighing somewhat sadly. "That's what she gets for letting everything go on for as long as it did."

A few more moments passed by before Edward's voice suddenly was heard throughout probably the next two or three miles of woods surrounding the house.

"BELLA!"

I could not help the booming laughter that escaped me. "Job well done!"

"Now we're gonna have to up the patrolling," Paul said seriously.

"Yeah, well..." I started to say but then stopped and thought over what I'd say. "Oops."

"Seriously, Bella? You have a family full of pissed off vamps who are going to more than likely be gunning for you now and all you can say is oops?!"

"They will not be able to get to me," I pointed out. "None of you will let that happen."

"It doesn't mean that they won't try."

"I know they will try to but they won't succeed. The last thing any of them want is to start a war. I may be getting my revenge on them now but they'll still draw a line somewhere. I mean, after all, I am only human and believe it or not Carlisle won't let any of them actually touch me."

Paul turned his head towards me and raised an eyebrow. "You sure about that?"

I nodded my head. "Positive."

Mostly positive, anyways.

I was just too stubborn to admit out loud that maybe just maybe I had sort of crossed the line a bit this time. But it was too late to do something about that now. However, if they did by chance try something to get me back...I still had the big guns to pull out and use on them. None of them would even see it coming from a planet away.

There was a lot more where everything was coming from.

~TNBTR~

Paul and I arrived back at my house an hour later. Just like last time, Jacob was there waiting. He didn't even have to ask where we had been this time. The past two times, my answer to him had been the same each time. This third time was not any different.

"You went back there?" The way he said it was more of a statement than a question.

I held out the video camera to him. "We have got their reactions on video."

Yeah, right. Would that really work in my favor like I hoped it would? Thankfully, it did end up working out to my advantage. By time the video had ended Jacob was laughing so hard that his previous anger was completely forgotten.

I was just wondering, however, about when my luck (if luck was even real and not just a way to explain things that couldn't normally be explained) would end up running out? I mean, one of these times, surely Jacob would have enough of me going and putting my life on the line for revenge and nothing would keep him from going off. I could see it now...next step...

Intervention for Bella and her need for revenge.

Oh, god. That sounded horrible.

I really needed to get to the point where I could just reveal my final revenge and move on with my life already. That time was coming soon. I could feel it getting closer and closer with each and every passing day. My revenge was almost complete and my need for getting revenge was almost completely satisfied.

So there it is! Thoughts?

Review please and let me know how the chapter was for you! I really love reading all of your thoughts!
