This chapter is dedicated to teddybearpixiestix, she's been giving me needed input and suggestions, and my BFF, she's reading the story and thinks it's coming along. Knowing she likes my story helps me continue.
EPOV
Sun was lighting up where I was sleeping and I immediately hated the sun. I had a hangover from hell. I attempted to roll over on my stomach, but when I rolled I landed on the floor. If I hadn't woken up from the sun, I was sure awake now. I looked around the room and noticed that it wasn't my room. I was puzzled, until I remembered that I stayed at Emmett's because Victoria and I had gotten a little frisky in the room. I must've passed out.
I didn't plan on drinking that much, but when Bella asked if she could bring James, I changed my mind. In fact I changed my whole game plan. I was going to bring Bella and before we went into the party I was going to tell her that I wanted to have something more than our deal. I wanted to tell her I wanted a relationship with her.
But when she asked about James, I knew she was interested in him, and that crushed me. I've wanted Bella for so long that I didn't know if I could live without her, ever. I knew it was a little early to say that, especially since we're not dating, but that's how I felt. So, to get back at her, I decided to flirt with Victoria. I mean, she had no idea why I was flirting, but she enjoyed it. I asked her to the party and she agreed to come with me.
Flashback
We arrived around 10:30 and there was already a bunch of people there. Some of them weren't even from our school. Anyways, once we were at the party I made a bee line to the bar. I wanted to drink to forget. I had at least 25 shots in a matter of ten minutes and a few mixed drinks. Once I knew I was wasted I pulled Victoria to the dance floor. We danced for over an hour and a half, before I needed to get another drink.
That's when I noticed Bella sitting in a chair by herself with a drink. I didn't want her to see me so I moved until I was behind her. I knew she knew that I was there.
"Why are you sitting by yourself?" I asked when he sat down in the chair next to her. "Why aren't you with James?" I noticed the way she looked at me and I knew that she knew that I was drunk.
"Why do you care if I'm sitting by myself, or why I'm not by James?" She replied. I could that she was holding in her anger. That was good, because I make one mean drunk. Everyone kid in Forks has learned not to mess with drunk Edward.
I didn't want to do or say anything I'd regret so I tried to defuse the situation. "I don't." I replied without looking in her eyes. If I had looked at her she would've seen love in my eyes. "I was just curious."
"Whatever you say Edward." She looked in my eyes. And I could tell she was daring to continue.
I had to get the last say in this battle so I spoke. "I don't fucking care Bella." I stood up and walked away. I could feel my anger rising, and I didn't want to take out my anger on Bella.
I went back to the dance floor to find Victoria. I spotted her dancing in the middle of a big group. I made my way to her and pulled her out. She looked at me confused and because I was drunk and stupid, I kissed her. She responded immediately.
Next thing I knew we were making our way to a bedroom. Once in the room we stared another make-out session and we stumbled over to the bed. And since I had my back to the bed, I went down first. Victoria broke the kiss and climbed on top of me. Then we were back to kissing. Then I passed out.
Once I was done with the flashback and I was fully awake I decided it was time to go home and shower. I would do it here, but I had no clothes. Plus I liked to think in the shower today I had a lot to think about. I knew I shouldn't have made out with Victoria, but I wasn't thinking.
After I got dressed I walked out of the room and looked down the hallway. I had no idea how to get to the front door. So I just chose a direction and followed it.
I was walking for about 6 minutes when I saw the living room come into sight. I lucked out by choosing to go right. I was going to keep walking until I saw a small room, with the door slightly open, off to the side. Now, this wouldn't hold any interest to me at any other time, but today it was a hoodie that caught my attention. To be more specific it was Bella's hoodie. I'd know that black hoodie with pink ribbon any where. Bella's the only girl I know that buys clothes and what not from Hot Topic and actually wears them to be seen.
I slowly made my way to the door and peered in. Surprisingly Bella was lying on the bed in the fetal position. That was the only surprising thing. The other one was that she was completely naked. I didn't know if she was awake or not but I walked in and sat on the bed. That's when I noticed that Bella tensed. And when I put my hand on her shoulder it tensed even more if it was possible.
"Bella?" I called softly. Once she heard it was me a relaxed slightly. "Are you awake?"
Bella nodded her head but didn't give a verbal response.
This concerned me. I mean Bella's the quiet type, but when she's spoken to she answers.
"Are you alright?" I questioned. When I asked the question her body tensed yet again, but she nodded telling me everything was alright. I called her bluff.
"Bullshit." I told her in her ear. "Everything is not ok and you know it. If it was you wouldn't be sitting in this room, on this bed, naked." I noticed that she, again, tensed more. Before I could say anything else to her, she started to cry. I pulled her naked body against my clothed one and held her.
Bella had cried for 10 minutes straight and now I was even more concerned. I mean, Bella's not exactly an emotional person. So for her to cry means something bad happened. I had to find out.
"Bella, love, tell me what's wrong." I pleaded with her. I didn't like Bella holding things from me. Especially when they make her this upset.
"He….he….." She whimpered into my chest. "Clothes off…..drinking…..wasn't." I could tell she was in shock and she wasn't forming sentences I could understand. Well, I was thinking of something but I didn't want to believe it.
"Bella." I said sternly and lifter her face. "You have to tell me what's wrong. That's the only way I can help you." Bella looked like she was going to cry again, but she held it back enough to speak.
"James, he," and she paused and I could see fear in her eyes. "raped me." She said the last part so softly I was surprised I heard her. But heard her I did. I stared at her with wide eyes. It took me a few moments to control my breathing and thoughts to realize that Bella needed to be cared for.
Ok, so that's the morning after. I had to do an EPOV to show what he was thinking from Friday during school and through the party. Plus I just really wanted Edward to find her before I went to Bella's pov. That'll be next chapter, so please review. They really help me write.
