Streetwise
Chapter 10
Planning Revenge
Come on guys, did you hoestly think I'd be cruel enough to actually kill Bella?! Well, I wold hurt her, but not kill her. I don't do major character deaths.
You may not be satisfied with dis chptr, it's kinda short, but leave me some love anyway!
Alice POV
When the shock wore off, Rosalie actually tried to strangle Lauren. Edward and I had to pull Rose off of her and Jasper called the police and the ambulance.
Rose and I were in tears as they loaded Bella into the ambulance and Emmett, Edward, and Jasper yelled at Lauren. I could tell they were firing her big time.
Emmett drove us to the hospital and we paced in the hall outside Bella's room while we waited for her x-rays to finish. Finally, after what seemed like eternity, Dr Marc came out.
"How is she?" Jasper asked. The doctor sighed.
"Well, luckily for her it was just the hard impact. Porbably a level two concusssion. I'm sure we can just let her sleep it off, but just to safe, I'll run a few tests to see anything else was affected by the fall." he informed us. I let out a relieved sigh with Rose.
"Thank God." Rose gasped. Emmett rubbed her arm.
"I'm positive your sister will be just fine." said Dr Marc with a happy smile.
"Thank you so much Dr Marc." Emmett said. He nodded at him.
"Just doing my job, sir." he said, going off to another hall. Emmett nodded, and we went in quietly.
Bella lay practically motionless in the hospital bed, the heart monitor beeping steadily, her breathing deep and even. I sat down carefully on the edge of the bed while Em, Jazz, Rose stood behind me. I gently took Bell's hand and rubbed it with my thumb. A tear fell from my eye and landed on her ivory wrist.
Edward POV
Even though I had stopped Rosalie from strangling Lauren, it was only because I'd wanted to do it myself. But at least now, she was being accused of slander, assault, and possible attempted homicide.
After yelling my guts out in her face, I raced to the hospital and found Bella's room with a quick call to Emmett. I came in quietly and my heart throbbed at seeing Bella lying there, looking so unnaturally defenseless.
"Hey guys." I whispered, walking over to the girls.
"Hey Edward." Rose whispered, not looking away from her sister.
"What did the doctor say?" I asked. Jasper sighed.
"Said it was probably a concussion, she should be fine after they run a few tests on her." he answered. I sighed in relief.
"Thank God." I said. I silently moved to stand on her other side, brushing away her bangs.
Why had Lauren pushed her, anyway? Why make up something so vicsious about the girls just to make us kick them out? What did she even have against them? Nothing was adding up in my book.
I pushed away those thoughts to save them for later. Right now, I had to worry about Bella.
Lauren POV
"The court has decided that the defendant will be sentenced to 48 hours in prison, and 100 hours of community service." said the judge in that pompous all-mighty voice. But my heart was thumping in fear and disbelief.
"What?! Wait no, this is a mistake, I didn't mean to push her!! It was an accident, I swear! WAIT!!" I screamed as the security gaurds dragged me away.
They slammed the bar door into place with a clang. I looked up at the gaurd with hate. He only made a blank face and walked away. I checked the shadows of the disgusting cell and saw with relief that I was alone.
"Hey newbie. What'd they put you in for?" asked an Australian voice from behind me. I turned and saw a short, tan girl with wild curly dark brown hair in a messy pony tail. She was playing around with a pocket knife. I cocked a brow.
"Me?" I asked. She rolled her eyes and jammed the knife into the dirt floor.
"Duh, you." she snorted. I scowled.
"I'm not even supposed to be here, I didn't do anything." I said quietly.
"Yeah, that's what they all say. So, why are you here?" she chuckled, playing with the knife again.
"I accidentally pushed a girl down some stairs." I admitted.
"Accidentally? Huh, somethin' tells me there was a big whop of weird events that led to you pushing that sheila down the stairs." she said with a smirk, showing off amazingly bright white teeth. I bit my lip; just how much should I tell this whacko?
"Well, she and her street trash sisters were trying to steal my man, so I kind of made something up so he would kick them out of the house but this stupid blond ratted me out and then I got into a fight with her sisters. I guess I pushed the girl too hard and she fell." I said, sitting in front of the cell door. She raised a perfect brow and went back to playing with the knife.
"So what about you, what did you do to wind up in here?" I asked. She smiled and looked up at me with a wicked glint in her hazel eyes.
"I tried to kill my ex. He broke up with me after three years of dating. I knew he was probably sleeping some whore, so I tried to get revenge. Didn't exactly work as you can probably tell." she chuckled. I blinked.
Maybe she actually was crazy.
But...
The gears in my head started spinning, considering the possible oppertunity that was starting to present itself. If I could somehow convice the nut case to help me, I'd be able to get out of here and get back at those filthy street rats for ruining my life. My lips twitched up into an evil smile and I looked at the Aussie who was balencing the knife on the tip of her pinkie.
"Hey, uh, what's your name?"
She didn't look up at me.
"Stanley. Jessica Stanley." she said in a James Bond way with a wry smirk.
I smirked back at the girl and started to tell her my plan. If she got us out with that little knife, I'd find her ex and help her finish what she started. Her eyes were alight and you could see the devil in them with that eagar smile.
"Deal."
And so Jessica joins in. DUN DUN DUUUUN!
