Chapter 10

The next morning I woke up early because I kept on having nightmares. Mostly about Edward, James, Alice and my forky friends (Friends from Forks). Especially about my forky friends, in my dreams they keep on leaving me. I've once left them and I didn't even call them, and lost all contact, and I know this is selfish of me, but I don't want them to leave me. They're all I've got. And I still love them to bits. They're like my family here. I don't want them to disown me.

Anywayz, I was thinking of wearing my Gucci leopard print skirt, but then I remembered all the perverts, and decided against it. Instead, I wore black Stella Mccartney jeans with my gold sequined tank and a black fly away cardigan by Raphael Cien. Add a Betsey Johnson Miami Chic Multi Row Necklace with Honora Baroque Chocolate Pearl Drop Earrings and a gorgeous Grand Cabas canvas sequin tote, and I'm ready for school. I decided on just eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss. Too much would kill the look, in my opinion.

I remembered last night's video chatting with friends. Taylor, Kyle, Brian, Chace, Leighton everyone there in Dusk. They made me miss home, but it's okay, at least I'm not getting drunk, killing my braincells and then getting the paparazzi to take shots of me in that state and, I'm fine here and I have more spare time. It's not all taken up by shoots, interviews and fashion shows.

I did manage to tell Tally about the evening at the Cullens, coz she called me later at 1 am after she arrived at her apartment. Her advice was, don't forgive him, the guy doesn't deserve it, even if he never asks for forgiveness from anyone, end of, period, no more discussions. Then an eyeroll (I know I didn't see it, but I could just imagine it).

Back to present, I was having my count chocula cereal, without gaining weight, coz I've got this super-technique , basically while your eating you sit on one of your feet as in like, ermm….the legs bent and the other legs is also bent but, ermm…basically your thigh is pushing against your stomach, so erm….yeah, when sitting like that and eating, your hard-earned flat stomach doesn't de-flatten. It works! It's even better when both thighs are pushing against your stomach, but it's really hard to eat like that, so I just do one leg thing. the reason for sitting like that is you just end up eating till your stomach is full, and the stomach doesn't expand. It's even more effective when you're sitting on the floor, but, I just do it on the table and chair. And I never eat standing up, except in emergency, coz all the fat goes to your thighs and sitting cross legged and eating, the fat goes straight to the butt. And sitting cross legged is bad for your health, basically it's bad for the blood circulation. My mom's friend, this Muslim woman called Fatima told me how in Islam it's been told to sit like that when they eat, but they don't have to; it's just something their Prophet used to do. My mom asked her how she kept heir flat stomach, even though she ate like a non anorexic. How typical, Renee. Sorry, I don't know why I started talking about how not to gain weight and going all science geek on you.

Yet again, back to present, while I was eating my cereal, I noticed this Yellow Porsche parking into the driveway, out of the kitchen window. A short girl with black hair and wide green eyes stepped out and gracefully walked towards the gate. Her white leather Gucci bag, in her hand, swinging back and forth. Why is Alice Cullen ringing my doorbell?

I swallowed the cereal and opened the door with an overly confused looking face.

"Alice?" I gaped at her.

"Gooood morning! What a nice day don't you think? Remember we're going shopping today!" she exclaimed in a perky voice.

"I swear we were planning that for tomorrow…" my voice trailed off.

"Oh, I guess I got the days mixed up…but it doesn't matter! We can still ride to school together! Seeing as I bought my Porsche…right?" her wide emerald eyes, getting watery, which made them look lighter. Her full pink lip gloss smeared lips, quivered as she pouted. She looked so adorable, I couldn't say no.

"Oh…erm…sure! Come inside! I just have to erm…get my stuff from upstairs!" I excused myself and ran upstairs to my room.

I grabbed my tote, shoved anything I needed inside and sauntered back down the stairs and found Alice texting someone.

"Let's go, I'm ready."

"Great! Come on!" she dragged me outside to her Porsche, barely letting me lock the house up.

"Looking good! Loving the jeans!" she complimented as she started the enginethen continued after a few seconds "Basically, I need to ask you some stuff…" she confessed, guiltily.

"Argh! Why didn't I see this coming. I knew you were acting weird!" I groaned. I knew it!

"Yeah. Now, this person attempted rape on my friend."

"What?" I asked shocked. I didn't see that coming.

"Mhmm, basically me, her, and a few other friends went to L.A because of this concert, last year. So, we went and I managed to persuade my Mom, for us to stay two extra days, after the Pussycatdolls concert. I didn't really get to see his face, but I did hear his voice, and I recognized it yesterday. Basically we were in a club and my friend was dancing with that blonde guy. Unfortunately I didn't see his face, but I do know he's blonde. He tried to you know kiss her, make out, etc on the dancefloor, but obviously, she wouldn't let him, she had a boyfriend of her own, then he dragged her off the dancefloor and tried again. She was hopelessly hitting his shoulder's but he seemed really strong. I saw it happen, so I ran to them, kicked the guy between the legs, punched his face, grabbed Rose's arm and ran to our bf's and left the club. Our bf's stayed and tried looking for him with the description of clothes and hair, I gave them. But he was nowhere to be found, the bastard, had gone, somehow." She stopped the car in the middle of the forest. What are we doing in the middle of the forest?

"Alice, Rosalie Hale nearly got raped?" I asked bleakly.

"Rosalie? Where did you get that from?" she asked, her already pale face, had gone even paler.

"You just said, you got Rose away from him…" I accused.

"Did I? I'm sure you misheard! It was..R…Riley got away"

"And I'm supposed to just believe that just like that?" I raised one eyebrow.

"Of course! I speak the truth and nothing but the truth! Okay, that was not the truth and nothing but the truth but still! That doesn't not mean I'm lying right now! I'm talking about Rachel!" she defended herself. She just said she was talking talking about Riley, now it's Rachel? Oh, I'll just drop it, I got my answer anyway.

"Okay, erm…I'm touched you trust me enough to tell me, and it's a real sad story and I feel really sorry for the girl and all, yeah, Why'd you tell me? And…why on earth are we in the forest?"

"Erm..we are here because, it's a shortcut to school from your place…now…I just can't remember the direction to go now.." she looked wearily at the three possible paths, wide enough for her car to drive through.

"So we're lost?"

"No! I know my way through her, I'm just confused at the moment…"

"Okay, so we're lost. So Alice, why d'you tell me the whole story of Rosa—, I mean Rachel's incident?"

"So, you can help me find the culprit."

"Erm..how?"

"You made Edward talk to him. The guy who attempted rape."

"No. That's impossible. It's not…I'm sure you misheard…it..it can't have been him!" my eyes were filling with tears.

" Why? What's wrong?" Alice put an arm around me.

"when was this?" my voice shook.

"Last year, July, 20th or 21st 2009." He was in L.A. for 'Never back down' that baseball movie that came out in December.

I was mentally suffocating inside the car. I couldn't breathe anymore. I exited the tree and sat on the nearest tree stump.

I pulled my iPhone out and called Alisha Mazzerelli. There was bad network, but lucky to me, it worked. Thanks Tally, soo much for giving me her number yesterday.

"Hey Hun! How's home?" she asked happily

"It's okay, you know how you love me so much? Get Antonio to call this number." I gave her the school number. "Yeah? Tell him to pretend to be my doctor (coz he's a doctor, well, intern but still he's going to be one) and tell whoever picks the phone up, that I'm ill and that I'm not going to school. If they ask extra, just make up some random lies."I sniffed

"Bella, what's wrong? What' happened?"she asked concerned.

"It's nothing, just the usual, James drama. Please just do what I asked. I'll persuade Raphael for the before showstopper entry."I sniffed.

"It's okay hun, I don't nee that! I'll get Ant to do it right now. Tell me all about it, later. I'm coming back from Italy on Tuesday! What did he do now?" she asked concerned.

"Erm..no! he didn't do anything! I..I have to go now, !"I put the iPhone back into my tote.

I noticed Alice sitting next to me with a concerned look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, everything's right! Thanks for telling me." This time I got my Samsung Tocco out of my phone and made my very important call.

"Hello, who is this?"he asked.

"It's just me."

"Oooh! My love! Oops, I forgot, I call Vicky that now! How are you! I haven't heard your voice for soo long! Where are you? The paparazzi is looking for you like crazy!"

"I don't give a damn, let them search. Just tell me one thing were you in a shooting on the 20th and 21st July 2009?"

"Oh! The good old days, you know I miss you! I was in L.A., shooting Never Back Down, so yh, we had a shoot nearly everyday for a month, remember I had to pretend to be a high school student. So what's with the surprise call? You haven't called me for soo long! Let's catch up! Where are you?" by the end of his speech, I could feel hot tears on my cheeks.

"You know what? You can just go to hell for all I care. I can't believe you could do this! I can't believe how you can be so disgusting! You were with all that time as well! You're such a bastard!" I chucked the cell onto the wet soil. It hit a rock and the phone cracked. Oh well, who cares. Damn phone.

"Bella please tell me what's going on! I hate to see people cry!" Alice exclaimed. I just bawled even more. She hugged me tight and I was feeling even worse, I was snottifying her crop cardigan. Add to that, she heard so much of all my conversations; it won't be long till she clicks on. She's a smart girl, always has been. That thought made me cry even more.

"James cheated on me…again!" I meant to say but it came out as, "Jabez jeeded obbee eged!"

"Sorry, I don't really understand" she admitted apologetically.

Suddenly she rose and went to her car. She opened the door, fumbled for something in the glove department, and came back with a tissue pack and mineral water.

She shoved the tissue under my nose, which I gratefully took. The she gave me her waterbottle.

"Here, blow your nose, wipe away the tears and drink this. Sorry I just remembered I had this." She apologized.

I blew my nose, and embarrassingly it sounded like an elephant playing a trumpet. Thereafter I took a swig of the water.

"Basically—hic, James cheated on me." I confessed then hiccupped again.

"And..he's your boyfriend?" she asked curious.

"No…my ex.." I sniffed.

"So..who is this James? Well, which James is he?" she asked, trying to trick me into telling her. I knew about it, but told her anyway.

"James Tracker, currently dating Victoria Henderson, he's also working on her father's horror movie, Sweet or Sour starring Kirsten Dunst and a bit of Ashwariya Bacchan." I wiped my tears.

"Wait, James Tracker aka Brian from 'Fake or the real thing?' How is that possible, I swear he was dating Bella…" she started taking deep breaths, slowly, her eyes got wider, pretty close to popping out of their sockets, then she squealed in delight, jumped up and hugged me tight, "You're Bella! As in the Bella, spokes model of Raphael Cien! Why didn't I get it earlier! It's so obvious! I thought you look like her! Well, yourself! And what's with the short black hair? Oh! The paparazzi? Oh my Gosh! Rose would kill me if I told her I knew Bella personally! Ohmagawd!" her hug had been so tight, I was struggling to breathe. She let go of me and started jumping up and down.

"Shh! You can't tell anyone! Not even any of you brothers, your boyfriend, your best friend, your family, no one! Well, I guess you can tell Esme, I mean she knows anyway, she's the only person that knows, beside Jake, Leah, Angela, Embry and my Dad, of course, but that's it! Nobody knows and I don't inted on anyone else finding out!" I said firmly, putting the voice on that, I only ever used on my cousin, who's 15 and gets up to quite a lot of things and she also tends to need rescuing from me. Why am I thinking of this right now?

"Can I not even tell Jasper?" she pouted.

"No!" I looked at her like she'd gone crazy.

"You know, it all makes sense now! All those obvious lies! I still can't believe this—" her squealing was interrupted by Justin Bieber's voice coming from her Porsche.

"One minute!" she chirped. After she fished her LG KS360 answered her cell, "Hello?" one second later, she held her cell an arm away from her ear, with a tortured look on her face. I could make out some of the conversation, even though she was two meters away from me. Esme's voice was shouting, "Alice Mary Brandon Cullen! Why am I getting phonecalls from Forks High telling me your ditching! Young lady, you are lucky I covered for you! Where on earth are you!!!"

Alice slowly spoke into the cell: "Basically, Mom,I went to pick Bella up, coz, remember we were going to go shopping after school, so, on our way to school, I remembered the shortcut through the forest. I thought it'd be faster since we were kinda running late. Then we got stuck, coz I forgot which route to take in fact I think I took the wrong turn…coz before, there weren't 3 different paths to take, but now there is 3 different paths possible! Now I don't know which one to take!" she laughed nervously. A few minutes later, Alice ended the call and put it back in her bag.

When she sat back down next to me on the over-sized, fat tree stump, and informed me that Esme is coming out to look for us.

"Can I ask you something? But promise you won't get mad or offended." She asked, awkwardly.

"Erm..it depends, but go ahead and ask me…I think I know where this conversation is heading."

"Okay…is it true that James walked in on you and Kyle Jayden playing tongue tennis?" she looked like she was expecting a big go at her from me.

"Kyle is my best guy friend! Not my friend with benefits, snog buddy or boyfriend! I mean yeah, he's hot and all, add to that an amazing character, but he likes someone else, I don't have a chance." I stated bewildered. "And where did you get that from anyways?"

"I..erm…read it on the internet" she bit her bottom lip.

"Don't you know anything? Silly! Never believe what the internet says!" I made my voice like a elementary school teacher, which brought back memories of at home with Mom. Thinking of Mom, she must not know about how evil (hehee, evil) James is. She'd probably go in to CNN and announce it to the whole world.

"So..what really happened? Why did you break up?" she asked me sympathetically.

"I walked in on him and Victoria Henderson making." I said simply.

"I'm really sorry for bringing this up! You know this whole thing is so hard to believe, especially about James Tracker."

"What about him?"

"He tried to rape Rose—I mean Rachel…Bella, can I ask you something?" I nodded "Will you help me?"

"Help you with what?"

"Bring him down, then kill him" she replied with a straight, serious face.
