Chapter 10

Bella's POV

Oh my God. This creepy girl is running around, looking for a bottle of paint that hasn't already been thrown by the kids following her example. My eyes were wide as I watched her, but when it looked like she got some more ammo, I slowly turned my head to stare at Edward. He was actually petrified.

"Bella," he croaked. "I love you."

I blinked, as I let his last words process. I turned back to where Kristy was charging at me. I closed my eyes tightly, when I was hit by something hard. That strange girl. I was pelted with yellow paint this time, and Edward tried to pull her off of me, but Kristy just grabbed his arm and flipped him. He hit the ground with a thump and wide eyes.

"Oh my goodness, I'm sorry Eddy Weddy!!!" She chirped as she stepped away from me and to him.

So there I lay . . . blue and yellow, my eyes wide with fright, awaiting a worse fate.

Until, I heard the doors to this building open. Slowly I turned my head, seeing Jacob there a smile on his face. "Where's Bell-" Someone threw a big bowl of red paint in his face.

With a shaking hand, he wiped the paint away from his eyes.

"JAKE!" Kristy screeched as she looked to the kid who threw that. "Oh! You're going to pay!"

The kid—a little girl with blonde pigtails and red overalls—screamed and began running away from Kristy.

Gradually, I stood up, wiping as much yellow and blue paint from my face as I could, and in the corner of my eye, I watched Edward do the same.

We looked at each other quickly and then back to where Kristy was chasing the little girl in circles, and then to Jake, who was standing in the doorway, afraid as he stared at the fiasco.

Edward ran—at human pace—to the little girl that Kristy was chasing and picked her up quickly before Kristy would grab her. He then set the girl on a table and ran over to a wall. Inconspicuously, he gestured with his finger for me to come.

I ran over to him, dodging the occasional paint flying by the unsuspecting, happy kids. Once I was next to Edward, leaning on the wall, we watched Kristy now shift her path to come for me. I tensed up and was about to get out of the way, but Edward held me down with his hand.

When she was two feet from our faces, Edward pushed me out of the way, so Kristy collided into the wall. Without skipping a beat, Edward grabbed one of the tables that none of the kids were on and put it over Kristy like a cage.

She screamed and banged on the small legs of the table, too small for her to crawl out of. With what seemed like great effort, Edward continued to hold the table over her.

Jacob's POV

What. The. Heck. Is. Going. On. Why. Am. I. Wearing. Red. Paint. Why. Is. Edward. Standing. On. Top. Of. A. Table.

Some Random Kid's POV

Dude, dude, dude, dude, DUDE! This is the bestest arts and crafts day ever!!!!!

Kristy's POV

Why is my Eddy doing this to me!?! All I ever did was lovehim! OH dear Lord!! Get me out of this thing!!

I tried to squeeze under the arms of this table my love was holding me in. Oh, I get why he's trapping me like this. Ooh, he's an animal! That just goes to show that too skinny hussy!! And my Jakey Wakey, he came all the way from what him and his district were doing—going to the lake at exactly 8:03 AM and forty-seven seconds—to see me! OR! He could be just trying to get Edward out of the picture because he wants me all to himself! Oh my goodness, I've never been fought over before! This new deodorant must be working. . . .

Some Random Kid's POV

EW! Kristy's smelling her armpits!!

Bella's POV

Oh my God, Edward's a genius!! I smiled at his triumph as I slowly looked around for any children that might be injured for getting in Kristy's path . . .

How could I forget that Jake's here! I ran up to him, again avoiding the flying paint. He smiled at me and wiped some more of the paint off himself.

"Hi, Jake!" I opened my arms for a hug, but closed them remembering the paint.

"Hey Bella! What the heck is going on?" He chuckled.

I looked over to Edward, standing on top of a table, slowly looking down to see into Kristy's cage. "It's . . . a long story. So," I turned back to him. "How are you? Why aren't you with your kids?"

He shrugged. "It's potty time, and I thought that really quickly I would come over here to see you. But now I'm going to have to tell the kids why I'm wearing the arts and crafts."

I laughed quietly, until I was hit in the back with another bowl of paint. I turned around and there was a little kid with a skull and crossbones shirt, snickering at me. "Hey!" I growled as I stepped towards him, but I slipped on the paint and went tumbling down. I heard the kid snicker again.

Skull and Crossbones kid's POV

Ha ha! There's an old lady on the floor!

Jacob's POV

My eyebrows pulled together as I held out my hand for Bella to take to get herself up. She took it and stood up, while glaring at the kid that was laughing at her.

Some Random Kid's POV
