Chapter 10: Who are you to me Edward?
Tomorrow I would be going on a date with Mike Newton. Just thinking about it made me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit. I knew I was just doing it to make Edward jealous, but I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach, and it didn't feel good. Me and Mike weren't meant to be, but I had a feeling me and Edward were. Whenever we touched hot tingles made their way through my body, my heart fluttered and he actually made me happy. Mike on the other hand made me feel creeped out. But I had to go on with the plan.
Ever since Edward and Tanya have been dating, he's been ignoring me. But you cant deny the happiness she's brought him, it makes me so sick it isn't funny. I'm in love with Edward Cullen and he doesn't even know. I sighed. Tanya hates my guts, and makes sure every time she sees me she makes it known to me. But you know, she's an angel in Edwards eyes. Tanya can be the biggest bitch to me, and Edward don't even do anything, hell, sometimes he even plays along or laughs at me! What the hell?
Alice is encouraging me on my scheme to make Edward jealous. Right now she's picking out my 'perfect' outfit for my date tomorrow. I just cant shake the feeling that all hell is going to break loose, but that's just me, the paranoid bitch. At first I thought Alice would freak out on me, and tell me its wrong to play with other peoples emotions, but she went along with me. At least I have someone on my side for once. And you better believe, I will do anything it takes to win Edward.
The pixie bounded in with tons of clothes in tow. That only means one thing… Its Bella Barbie time. I scowled. "Aw don't be that way chick! You'll look so sexy for Mike, Edward wont know what to think."
I shuddered. "That guy creeps me out, he wouldn't try anything funny would he?"
"Don't be so negative honey," She smiled sweetly at me. "And if he tries anything silly with you, I'll rip his balls off myself alright?" She said it with a dead serious face.
I muffled a laugh, because I realized she wasn't playing around. "Thank you Alice, I really do appreciate it. Your like the sister I never had." I stepped over to her and hugged her as big and as hard as I possibly could. She seemed a little shocked for a second, but then hugged with all her might back. I was squeezing pretty hard too, she didn't falter once though. I smiled at her. "I love you Ali." I blushed realizing I just said I loved someone out loud.
Her pretty little eyes lit up at that. "Oh Bella!" She latched herself around me again. "I love you too!" We giggled a little bit like idiots before we broke apart at a knock at the door. Edward popped his big head in. Yes I've resulted in name calling in my head. I was pissed at him.
"Mom said it's time to eat." He said in a monotone, void of all emotion. Somehow that made me even more mad.
"Save us some food, were getting ready for my date tomorrow night." I spat towards him, in a fake cheery tone. His eyebrows rose, and he made direct contact at me. "What?" I said icily.
"Nothing." He stuttered towards me, then hesitantly closed the door behind him. I made sure he was gone before I turned to Alice and started laughing happily, she soon joined after and we started jumping up and down like hyper people.
"You are going to make this plan work!" She sang happily. "But now, here's the fun part…" She trailed off and I groaned. "Clothes!" She yelled.
She started throwing all kinds of weird colors at me, but at the same time, they all looked like something I would wear. I stepped into my giant walk in closet and changed at least 15 times until Alice found the right outfit. It was one of my least favorites, but I still looked good. Not to sound conceited or anything. The first few outfits were cute, I dressed quickly, not wanting to face the pixie's wrath. A tight black shirt, stripped pink and grey vest with black faded skinny jeans were the winner.
I wasn't crazy about it, but I liked it I guess. After that she put me in front of this huge mirror at the back of my closet. I tucked my left arm under my right one, I'm surprised Alice hasn't seen my cuts yet, I mean I was everywhere with my arms today. A part of me would love Alice to know about it, but the other part just wants to keep it quiet.
Alice busied herself in front of the mirror, collecting the makeup she'll need. "My date isn't until tomorrow Ali, can't we worry about this then?" I whined.
She tsked. "Silly Bella! We want to get ahead and try out everything before tomorrow, so we'll know what to do when the time comes!" She tried to reason, but I think I just didn't like make up. I rolled my eyes. She took that as her opportunity to pounce on my face with an eye shadow lid base, we waited for that to dry before she used a very pretty pink on me. Then used two different kinds of mascara! My eyes popped, they looked so huge and pretty I couldn't even believe it. She lined my eyes with a thin layer of eye liner and added some lip gloss. "Bella you are drop dead gorgeous!" She stated. "I'm so jealous, you have the looks and the body!" She beamed. "You'll win Edward in no time!" She exclaimed.
"Do you really think so Alice?" I asked doubtful.
"Girl, trust me, I'm usually right about these things, and Edward will fall for you, if it's the last thing I do!" She put her hands on her hips and stood like Superman. I shook my head at her, then looked at my reflection, I looked like a completely different person. I looked pretty and happy. Alice was amazing at makeup, I could never do what she just did, I would probably end up poking my eye out, and being in pain.
XxX
I didn't go down for dinner, I was too nervous to eat. But now I felt a little hungry, it still felt weird eating whenever I wanted without being told no. I had changed into shorts and a long sleeved purple shirt, yeah it was from Wal-Mart, but I still liked it. Alice threw a fit about it, but I loved it, it was such a pretty color.
I trudged myself towards the kitchen wanting to find something quick to eat without making much noise. But you know, I tripped on the very last step, I tumbled down and landed on my side. I cried out in pain, that didn't feel too pleasant whatsoever. Carlisle hopped up from the couch and sprinted over to me as fast as he could. The rest of the family was just staring in shock, not knowing what to do. Tanya happened to be there, and guess what the fuck she just did! She let out a harsh laugh.
I managed to raise up my whole arm despite the pain, and give her the middle finger. "Bitch." I muttered. Its like she heard me all the way over there, because she crossed her arms and pouted, snuggling closer to Edward on his lap. Did I mention I hated her guts? Carlisle looked at me with humor in his eyes, I only shrugged. He sat on his knees in front of me.
"Does it hurt anywhere Bella?" He asked, going into complete doctor mode. He was kind of intimidating, in a good way though.
"I just feel a little sore, I'll manage though." He stood up holding his hand down to me.
"Are you sure?" He asked pulling me up. I winced a little bit, but I knew I'd be okay. I was not going to be taken out by a staircase. Or for that matter a step!
"Yeah, I'll just walk it off, I'm sure it's not that bad." I smiled at him. "I was just going to grab some food real quick, then head to bed…" I trailed off.
He laughed. "It's okay Bella, you don't have to explain yourself, you're a part of the family now remember?" He smiled and gave me a hug.
"Thank you Carlisle." I smiled back at him
"For what honey?"
"For being so nice, and accepting." I hugged him once back and took off for the kitchen, a little embarrassed because there was a crowd watching us, granted they were my family it still made me feel a little weird. When the door swung close behind me, I heard wild mumbles, they were all telling Tanya to come and apologize! Psh whatever that bitch had to say didn't matter to me, she was a nothing in my life.
I was popping some popcorn and making a few cheese sandwiches when the door opened and I heard her walking toward me. I knew it was her, because I could smell her perfume! I wasn't even cracking a whore joke, but now that you say something about it…
"We need to talk." She stated. I rolled my eyes.
"What about?" I played it off, busying myself with pouring my popcorn in a giant plastic bowl.
She put her and on my shoulder and yanked me to where I was facing her. "Ok, so obviously we hate each other…"
I grabbed her hand and removed it forcefully. "Obviously." I sneered to her.
She only rolled her eyes and continued talking. "But can we put our differences behind us?" That kind of caught me off guard.
I double looked her. "Do what?" I asked dumbfounded. I still wasn't grasping what she was trying to say.
"Exactly what I said dumb ass!" Her patience was wearing thin, even I could tell that. "Lets just pretend to be nice to each other for Edwards sake." Ha. Knew she wasn't really wanting to be nice to me.
"Why should I do that huh?" I said a little stubbornly. I had my reasons though.
She scoffed. "Ok you freak, all I'm asking is for us to at least pretend to get along, because I've waited a long time to date Edward, and now that I have my chance some dirty foreign bitch isn't going to come between me and my opportunity." Wow she is such a frigid bitch.
I put down my popcorn and crossed my arms. Edward may be a dumb asshole, but I care about him. I stepped closer to Tanya. "So let me get this straight." I said in my most menacing tone. "You want to lie to Edward about us getting along?" She tried to protest but I cut her off. "Bitch, don't even, pretending is the same is lying! And I'm not going to lie to him." I said, proud of myself.
She sighed in frustration. "I fucking hate you! You're ruining my life!" She actually stomped her foot. Wow, such a baby.
"Yeah, well the feelings mutual!" I was trying to keep it somewhat quiet in the house, but I had a feeling they were all listening anyways. "And who are you anyways! All your trying to do is get into Edwards pants!"
She gasped. "Who told you? Jessica did didn't she? That slut." She started digging around for her phone.
I gaped at her. Holy shit, she wasn't even dating him because she liked him, all she wanted was his cock. Should have known. "No Jessica didn't tell me, but you just did."
Her eyes held so much fury for me. I'm glad. I have a fan club. "You fucking cunt…" I slapped her hard on the cheek.
"No!" I trailed off. "You listen to me, you take your whore ass and leave, all your going to do is hurt Edward, he doesn't need all that petty bullshit." I said lowly and clearly. She gulped, she was totally scared of me.
"Why do you even fucking care?" She seethed. "Aren't you fucking Newton? So what me and Edward d is none of your damn business." She still seemed to be in shock, she had a glazed look to her eyes, and she was standing there with her hand over her cheek.
I laughed harshly. "I'm not fucking Newton!"
"That's not what he's saying…"
I took a step closer. "That's what your damn problem is Tanya," I spat her name. "You listen to too many rumors, you cant decipher the truth from the fake. So you've sucked up all the fake." I said cleverly.
She just stood there. "I'm not fake." She stuttered out.
I laughed. "Yeah well, if your not fake then I'm the happiest person in the world!"
"I'm not going to stop seeing him." She said stubbornly.
"I don't fucking care what you do, I'm just not going to pretend for you. It'll only end up hurting everyone in the end." I said before I grabbed up my food and turned on my heels.
"What are you a fucking devil worshiper or something!" She whispered loudly across the kitchen.
I laughed. "Honey, I'm worse." I stated then threw open the kitchen door. Like I said, the family was being nosey, but I don't think they could hear anything because we were whispering mainly. I would definitely have to talk to Edward later. She was a fucking bitch, she didn't even like him like that, all she wanted was a quick lay. I stomped off towards my room. I soo didn't need all this drama right now.
I quickly ate and fell asleep into the dreamless abyss.
XxX
Harsh shaking woke me up, I tried to slink back under the dreams, but the shaking kept me at bay. My eyes shot open and a horribly angry Edward stood in front of me. I sat up in my bed slowly and wiped the sleep out of my eyes, I yawned. "What is it Edward?" I stretched too.
"Don't play your fucking games with me Isabella Swan." His voice was laced with venom. This peaked interest with me, he called me by my whole name.
"What are you talking about?" I said sleepily.
"You fucking hit Tanya!" He exclaimed.
I nodded. "But did she tell you why?"
"I don't care." He said down to me. "Everything was just perfect until you came along! It's all your fault Bella! I don't give a rat's ass if where you came from violence was the answer… it's not the answer here, alright?" Wow, talk about taking it out on someone.
I only nodded though, if he was going to be mad, he should be mad at Tanya not me. "Are you going to let me explain? Edward Anthony Mason Cullen." I used his full name, I was beyond pissed at him right now.
"Why the fuck should I give you a reason to explain yourself to me? Give me one good reason!" He seethed, trying not to speak too loud, he didn't want to wake the rest of the family up to our argument.
"You know what?" I yelled. "Just get the fuck out and leave me alone!" I was so fucking mad. He looked like he was in complete shock, like he couldn't believe I yelled at him. Well he better believe it, because I just did. I loved him and all, but I need some space, especially if he was going to believe that slut over me.
"Give me your damn explanation!" He yelled back.
"No! You'll see when it happens. You'll see how I was right and your slut of a girlfriend was wrong!" I yelled.
"Tanya isn't a slut!"
"Right." I scoffed.
"Maybe your just jealous of her!" He tossed out towards me.
"Jealous how? Because she's dating you and I'm not? Well how about this Edward, open your eyes, not everyone wants to be with you! For your information I'm going on a date with Mike to-today? So why should I be jealous?"
"You are not going to date Mike!" He scowled.
"Who are you to tell me what I can and can not do?" I said angrily.
"He's going to fucking hurt you Bella, you aren't going to date him." He sounded protective, but I knew better than to let him get in-between me and my plan.
"Watch me." I said, trying to cut off conversation.
He growled angrily. "You are dumb. And don't come running to me when he tosses you aside. Because all I'll have to say to you is, 'I told you so!'" He stormed away and slammed my door shut as hard as he could.
I flipped over and screamed into my pillow.
