Sorry! I was going to post this on Thursday, but I didn't finish it until now! I'm way to busy for my own good plus it's Friday night! We all know what that means, High School Football games! Those are the best. I am home now and ready to write!
Thanks to all your amazing comments, they make me just want to write more and more.
Now onto the important part: I have a question! What Chapter so far has been your favorite?
I'm going to start asking questions now that you can answer in your reviews to make it fun! Feel free to list reasons why or why not you liked a chapter.
And now the most important part...the story!
Bella POV
"Bella, you're not scared are you?" Emmett teased. I scowled into the darkness. I'd been riding on his back for 30 minutes now. We weren't having the bonfire at the Cullen house, oh no, of course we weren't. They were taking me to who knows where in the pitch black where I couldn't see a thing. Hearing little noises was a different story though.
"Ooooo..."Emmett whispered, trying to sound ghostly. "Stop it!" I snapped. I clamped on tighter to him. It was ridiculous that I should be scared in the forest when I had two amazingly strong and gifted vampires with me, but I was. I swear Jasper was manipulating me.
I started screaming bloody murder when we passed under a tree and the branch caught on my arm. "Geez Bella! Calm yourself, that even hurt my ears," Emmett complained. I stuck my tongue out. "Jasper, you should lay off before Bella has an aneurysm." I knew it! "Uhm, actually," Jasper stated, "I stopped making her feel scared about ten minutes ago. Bella is just easily spooked."
Emmett broke out into laughter. "Seriously? Then why isn't she freaked by us?" There was a loud snapping noise. "Ow! That hurt Jazz." We continued the rest of the way in silence.
When we finally reached our destination, I was shocked that I could see. We were on top of a cliff. The clouds dispersed and the stars were bright and twinkling. Emmett got a roaring fire going and we all sat around it on logs Jasper collected. I pulled a blanket from the backpack and wrapped it around myself. "So, who's starting?" I asked.
"I will," Emmett said. I leaned in so I could listen hard. Emmett tended to whisper when he got excited about his stories.
"So, you know how Tanya had, and I quote, "expressed interest" in our dear Edward?" he asked. My stomache dropped. Oh no, I could tell I wouldn't like this story. I gulped and nodded. "Well, let's say that is our fault."
"So in the summer of good ole 1987, Esme and Carlisle were away on some private island for a couple months. He'd been working so much and Esme had restored three homes that Spring, so they took time off and just spent the summer together-which was good because Esme would have been furious. Edward was still pissed about our wedding the year before, but he was defrosting so we thought it proper to prank him again. Now you see, even though Alice and Jasper had been with us for decades, they hadn't met the Denali's. We'd all been too busy traveling and going to school to go up there. I know what your thinking, but back then we liked school because we went to private schools that were amazing and of course the Ivy Leagues. But why we stopped private school is another story. And they couldn't come see us because they so rarely leave Alaska. So we invited them down for a few weeks-"
"Wait, can you tell the private school story as one of your own? I mean it's got to be either funny or embarrassing why you went public. You dismissed it awfully quick," I interupted. Emmett nudged his brother. "Jasper can tell you that one, it is his fault." Jasper sighed, "Thanks for reminding me...again!"
Emmett cleared his throat, "Anyways, I was saying, they came down. However poor Edward was still a single, bitter old man. We noticed that Tanya was also single. Perfect, right? We thought so." He must have seen the sadness in my face because he quickly added, "Of course no one is perfect for him but you, but at the time...But on with it. So we told Tanya that Edward wanted to start a relatinoship with her but he didn't think she liked him. After all Tanya and her sisters are much older than us and they still considered even Carlisle a child compared to them. Tanya though, told us that she'd had her eyes on him for quite some time.
"I still remember that sparkle in her eye. Now that he's with you, I feel bad for doing that to Tanya, but at the time I thought they would try it out and find that spark...but the flame was never even touched. The whole three weeks Tanya was walking around in her cutest, skimpiest outfits, flaunting every part of her for Edward. At first he thought Tanya was just trying new trends, it was the 80's after all. Then he got really uncomfortable when she would caress his face or kiss his cheek. It clicked in his mind, Tanya wanted him."
"She w-wanted him?" I stammered. Edward never even got close to telling me the full story. No wonder he didn't want Emmett to tell me this.
He chuckled, "Tanya wouldn't keep him though. She has lovers for awhile and then gets rid of them. No doubt Edward would just be another victory. Tanya and her sisters don't understand how you can have one true soulmate, they never understood how any of us gave up everything for our mates, but that's just them. But you know Edward, always the gentleman. She thought he was playing hard to get at first. It was extremely irritating to her. I could only imagine the things Edward heard her think."
I stopped him again. "I thought this was a funny story. So far it's depressing me."
He sighed, "Let me continue." Jasper stopped him, too. "Maybe I should finish it. You get sidetracked and you tend to spit when you get excited."
Emmett gathered a huge venom spit wad in his mouth and spit it at Jasper who gracefully dodged it.
"So..."Jasper started, "We decided to crank up the heat. Before he met you, most nights he'd be in his room listening to that dreadful classical music or reading books. We told Tanya that he was waiting for her and had been planning something for a long time. So Tanya goes in wearing this nasty-thin lingerie. We ran outside and climbed in the tree outside his window to watch. Geez, if we thought the look he had when Roberta popped in, this was ten times worse. He looks up from his book, expecting to greet Tanya and then literally jumps from the chair when he sees her."
I gritted my teeth at the mental picture. "This isn't funny, it's stupid and depressing. I don't want to know about all the women that throw themselves at him." A fresh wave of calm came over me.
"Hold still, this is the funny part, " Jasper told me. " Tanya corners him and then just rips his shirt off. We are sitting on the extreme edge of this branch when in pure rush, Edward jumped right out the window and goes so far he lands right on us and we all fall to the ground."
Were they kidding? Edward jumps from a window? I guess it was a had-to-be-there-moment. "Uhm, funny?" Emmett rolled his eyes, "Are you kidding? It was HILARIOUS!"
"Your turn Bella!" Jasper sang. I sighed. "Fine. Uhm...I don't know, like a couple years ago I wore a skirt on the first day of school, which was stupid but my mother made me. Anway, I was opening my locker and I bent down to put a book in it and when I stood up the door caught on my skirt and I pantsed myself."
I blushed dark red but both of them just stared at me like I was stupid. "Are you joking?" Emmett asked. "You can do better! Give us a really juicy, funny story. Who cares if you can pants yourself." I glared him. I rarely felt challenged in my life, but this was one rare time where I was fighting back. "Fine then! I'll tell you a better story. Ready?" The both nodded their heads in anticipation.
I know it's short but I'm too tired to finish the chapter but I don't want to make you all wait another day so I'm posting it and I'll put up the rest tomorrow hopefully! And that skirt story is true, it happened to my friend, lol. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Don't forget to review and answer the question!
