Yep, I have managed to do a first for me. Churn out two chapters at once. I got stuck halfway through the last one, so I started with this one and then went back when I had finished. New things pop up in my brain all the time, through my little life and I think, 'hey, I'm going to have to add that'.
Anyway, Onto saturday...
I'm Wide Awake, It's MorningBella
I woke up the next day not having a headache, more like feeling sick, either the amount of food I ate the night before or I was having withdrawal symptoms. From Edward. Last night was one of the best nights I have had in a while including all those I had with Jacob it was definitely in one of the top five.
Edward was moving over today and tomorrow (more likely today), a lot of tidying had to be done. Me and Alice are tidy, but over the last couple of months especially the house had gone a bit girly. Over radiators our bras and pants hung, behind sofas you could find random pieces of clothing which neither of us knew how they got there, the presence of vodka bottles, even though none of us were heavy drinkers and the usual money in the sofa and chairs, which I had first dibs on despite the total might only buy me a Starbucks coffee, if I was lucky.
Hmm, what time is it? 9.06 am, maybe its time to get up and see if they had started with the pancakes without me. It was customary for us girls to have pancakes each Saturday, every Saturday, AKA Pancake Saturday. Other rules included:
Only girls allowed, and any other girls who would make an appearance should be pre-invited.
No recordings, photos may be taken but not include any relevance of what was discussed
Pyjamas optional
Apologies in advance, for food preparations.
Only pancakes to be eaten, drinks optional (and no restrictions)
All discussions are kept in the kitchen and between the girls at there discretion. (Basically, if its a big secret we cant blurt it out)
Did I mention, NO GUYS allowed. Not even allowed to be in the hall, caught lurking and damage will be done.
Those not invited should choose to visit the kitchen, before or after the last pancake has been eaten or just don't bother having breakfast.
Pancakes cannot be made by any other person in the house, unless it is Shrove Tuesday
Pancakes cannot be borrowed or eaten by anyone else. They must stay in the kitchen.
You may think we are a little childish but this is sometime the only time we get to see each other. I cant remember how it started, we have been doing it for so long. Boyfriends, couldn't really understand it, many break ins, and earwiggin happened, to which we punished. In the end, they grew to understand it a little and Emmett was now known to have 'special secret' time with the lads that we weren't allowed to know about, that was usually spur of the moment stuff though.
I pulled my self out of bed, made my way to the kitchen in my shorts and shirt, I hoped that it would somehow be warmer in the kitchen.
I knocked on Alice's door and entered, there she was rolled up in the middle of her bed.
"Alice, come on are you getting up?"
She rolled over, and mumbled a little.
"What was that Alice?" I leaned against the door waiting for an answer.
"Yes, ill be down in a minute, Think Rosalie came a few minutes ago." I left the room, closing the door behind me.
Walking down the stairs I could already smell the pancakes that were cooking, they smelt so good, (second to chocolate) that I knew Rosalie was in the house.
"Morning Bella," she moved around the kitchen as if she still lived here.
"Hey Rose, how are you?" A sat on my usual stool and folded my arms trying to make myself warmer, envious of the jeans and hoodie Rosalie was wearing.
She looked up to me looking tired, "Knackered, and I was pretty darn cold until I saw you. Put some clothes on." I looked around for a heater or something to keep warm, I should have got changed I knew it.
I shrugged, when I couldn't find anything to get changed into, 'Oh well, i'll warm up soon. Pancakes ready yet?"
The door behind opened again, and Alice walked in fully clothed, she walked passed me and threw me a jumper.
"Here, I saw you, when you left my room and thought, 'God, Bella will freeze', I was right wasn't I?"
"Hmm."
Rosalie turned around towards us carrying a large plate of pancakes, dripping with toffee sauce, "Here we go girlies, I haven't had pancakes in ages. So, what are we talking about this morning?"
"Emmett, Jasper and Edward and Bella." Alice reeled of like she was waiting to be asked.
"Huh, Why me?" I was a little stunned to be mentioned.
"Cos Bella, Edward is moving in today and your working with him tonight and we need to figure out a game plan." Alice really was prepared had she already written a script out for today.
"Trust me Bella, it will be hard for you, even with your private bathroom. I have only lived with them for a couple of weeks, but phwoar in the apartment he walks around topless. If I didn't love Emmett or know Emmett, I would have slept with him over and over again. He takes ages in the bathroom, that's why I never see him, but when he comes out, you can smell that he has actually had a shower. Not just a quick wash like Emmett."
"I'm feeling hot and woozy already," I looked over to Alice, who was fanning herself.
"Oh come on, I think I can handle myself. I managed last night."
"I cant be there to kick you and cough around you all the time, Bella. That is why you 'managed', you would still be staring into those dreamy eyes right now, if it wasn't for me."
"Okay, point taken. Can we get on with these pancakes, they will go all cold?" Beaten down again, everyone just thought I would jump on him if we were left alone, or I would collapse because I had stopped breathing. I stabbed my fork into the middle of the pile, from the corner of my eye, I could see the two of them look at each other.
"Bella, all I was saying that your going to have to focus, and not embarrass yourself. Right should we change the subject?"
-----------xoxoxox---------
I was going to have to ring my mother sooner or later this morning, it was one of those phone calls you were dreading as you dialled the digits. I lived 2 hours away from my mum now, (it was hard to believe that Jacob had moved up here to be with me only to cheat on me, maybe a year later) I loved my mum but she was over-protective. I was dreading the phone call because Christmas was nearing, which usually meant christmas with the Blacks. Yes, my mum was best friends with Jacobs, so she was bound to already know some shite sob-story, Jacob will have fed the two of them.
I was sat in the living room (still in my shorts and jumper, I really needed to get dressed), Alice had gone into work for a couple of hours and Rose had gone back to her new home, probably helping Edward move out. I had tidied up a bit downstairs, before sitting down, hoovered around found all my belongings, some of Jacobs that I had to give back and couldn't wait to give back.
So, there I was sat on the sofa staring at the phone, hovering over the ring button. Oh go on press it, if she says something hurtful, hang up and never speak to her again or say you have to do something. The phone rings a few time and then my mum picks up.
"Bella, I've been waiting all morning for you to ring me."
"Mum, its only like half ten," I replied looking at the clock on the mantelpiece.
"Well, I have been up since seven. So, what's this I hear about you and Jacob.?"
"It's simple, I broke up with him and I'm not going to get back together with him. He has ruined my life over here, I have had to find a new job and it feels good without him."
"Bella, he misses you I can see it, he wants you back, we all do.."
"Hang on, did he tell you why I broke up with him? And what do you mean by, 'we all do'?"
"Well I'm missing my daughter, Bella you have to come home more. Christmas, I want you to come for the whole of the holidays, I'll come and pick you up and we can have girl time."
I signed, great a long Christmas with mum, "Hmm, I'm not sure. Did he explain why we broke up?"
"He said that you broke up with him, because you wanted a break." she said in a calm voice, it was like she was trying to compose herself, because she couldn't believe what her daughter had done.
"I did break up with him, but he was cheating on me. He told me that he had slept with other people for the past year, while we were together. He lost my job for me, because he nearly laid out one of the customers. Did he tell you that mum, does he sound like he misses me?"
"Oh, no he didn't say that."
"Then the night after, I saw him in town and he called me a slut in front of everyone. I was wearing a dress not a plastic bag. Mum, I am never getting back together with him. End of."
"So, is there anyone else, instead?"
"No not at the moment, I'm waiting to see what life has in store for me."
"Okay, how are your friends then, Alice and Rosalie, I haven't heard anything about them in ages."
"Erm, Alice has got a new boyfriend and Rosalie has moved in with your boyfriend, who's brother is moving in with us, this weekend. I work now work for at Liquid Lust, you know that bar where Rosalie's boyfriend works at?"
"Hmm, where?"
"Last time you cam up here, I took you out for lunch or something there."
"I think I remember now, did it have a dance floor?"
"Yes, mum. Hang on some is at the door." I car pulled up outside and then there was a knock at the door. Still in my pyjamas, I got up and went to the front door. I opened the door, to a cold breeze and shivered, I had no shoes or socks on either.
"Bella, your still not dressed?" Rose shouted from the boot of her car. In front of me was edward carrying a box of dvds and books.
"So, will you come over for Christmas?" I could hear mum ask from the phone in my hand, I stepped back to let everyone in and went back to finish talking to mum.
"Erm, I'll have to see, I might be pretty busy with work and I need the money. I'm going to have to go mum, Edward has come over with all his stuff. I'll ring you soon, bye." I pressed the end call button and looked up to a mad Rosalie.
"What have you done, since I have left?" Rosalie asked me, Edward and Emmett where staring at me, shivering.
"I have hoovered, cleaned the bathroom, kitchen and the living room and found a boxful of random items that don't belong to me. I have also rang my mum, to set things straight about me and Jacob." I smiled to myself, damn I had done a lot.
"You have been busy."
"Don't act so surprised, Rose. Is it okay, if I go put some clothes." I started to walk up the stairs.
"That would be a good idea, then these two will do some work instead of looking at your arse, or your boobs." Rose shouted out, sounding quite annoyed, I smiled to myself, happy to make an impression and carried up to my room.
So what did you think? It was a little shorter than I wanted, but I couldn't think what else to put in. So if I rewrite the whole story again, ill add more, probs.
The next chapter, will be in edwards point of view definitely, no doubt about it.
Happy new years
