Chapter 11:
Bella's P.O.V-
The next morning Rose, Alice, and I took quick showers and rushed back to the table to find a red envelope. I picked it up carfully and opened it.
Good morning girls,
here are is the last challenge winers,
1. Jocylen, Carrie, and Beth
2. Bella, Rosalie, and Alice
3. Emmy, Penny, and Alana
4. Sue, Faith, and Gianna
5. Jessica, Lauren, and Angels
My eyes began to tear up. It was because of me that we didn't get first place. Alice and Rose wrapped a comforting arms around me.
"Bella, it wasn't your fault," Alice whispered to me. Rose nodded as she leaned her head on my shoulder.
"Wait, Bella, look!" Rose exclaimed and pointed to the envelope. There was another paper. Alice grabbed it and we all read it.
Congratulations,
Your group has been chosen for the final challenge.
1. We would like all of you to pick out an everyday outfit to wear.
2. We will meet you girls downstairs in front of the door at 8 am sharp.
3. We will explain the rest to you later.
Sincerely,
The Dominators
We made it!
"Hurry you guys we have less then 15 minutes to get ready!" I yelled out seeing the time. We all scrambled grabbing clothes. We were supposed to dress in an everyday outfit. I chose a pair of jeans and a plain blue blouse. I added a pair of white lace flats. I ran my brush through my hair and added some light mascara and eye shadow.
"You guys we need to leave!" I belowed out. Rose and Alice emerged, and we all grabbed our purses along with our cell phones.
Alice was wearing her usual pair of jeans and a light pink long-sleeved top with heels. Rose was wearing her skinny jeans and a tube top.
We arrived downstairs to find the boys waiting.
Edward was wearing a pair of faded jeans and a plain gray sweater that showed off his toned chest. My cheeks flushed a light pink. Wait! Why was I blushing? No, Bella don't fall for him! I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts.
"Are you reay to go?" Edward asked me a light smile touching his lips. I couldn't help but smile back.
"Yeah," I replied in a whisper. Edward let out a low chuckle and all six of us walked out to the front to find a stretch sleek black limo waiting for us. We all stepped in to find the glossy highly expensive Italian leather. The crystal glasses, the limo even had a platinum flat screen T.V. Alice and Jasper took their seats on the far right, Rose and Emmett sat facing the driver, and that left Edward and I to sit behind the driver.
"Where are we going?" Alice asked glancing up at Jasper. My eyes narrowed. What happened between her and Jasper, they seemed more...chummy, like friends even.
Jasper brought his pointer finger to his lips, "It's a secret, but I know you'll love it." I turned my attention to watch the other cars and scenery rush passed us.
The only two people speaking were Alice and Jasper. I would have to ask her about that later.
"Young Master we are here." the limo driver said. We all stepped out of the car to be facing...the mall?
"Why are we at the mall?" Rose asked. All three guys smirked.
"Well this is the first part of the Challenge. Well it's not really even a challenge all you have to do is...shop." Jasper said. I was confused. Rose looked very confused, but Alice...she was hyper.
"SHOPPING REALLY! I LOVE SHOPPING!! DID YOU KNOW I LIKE SHOPPING?!" she was already esctatic, great.
"All you need to do is make sure you buy an outift for later tonight." Emmett said.
"And we are your personal escorts." Edward said. Alice grabbed Jasper's arm and began pulling him to the front doors.
"Oh and we get the mall to ourselves, we rented it out." Edward added.
"You rented the mall." I said my eye brows raised.
"Yes, I did." Edward said matter-of-factly.
"I didn't even know you could do that," I said to myself.
"Come on Jasper!" Alice screamed as she ran into the mall. I began walking up to the door knowing that Edward was following me.
The seond I entered the mall my mouth dropped open. There at every entrence of the mall were the store clerks and they were all fashioned to be waiting for us, it was like in the movie 'Sweet Home Alabama' with Reese Witherspoon and Patrick Dempsey. When he took her to Tiffany's to buy an engagment ring, that is how it looked.
"Wow," I whispered.
"It's amazing isn't it," Edward spoke as he stood next to me. I shot him a glare and stormed off to the nearest store.
For the next three hours I went from shop to shop, Edward following me like a dog would to its master. He was currently holding four shopping bags, but as I was walking to another store I spotted Alice and Jasper. And wow I felt horrible for Jasper there he was carrying what looked like six shopping bags on each arm, and there was another man following them with four shopping bags on each arm. I couldn't help but let out a giggle, Alice certanily was different.
"Bella, you really should buy a dress," Edward said in my ear, his warm breath tickling me. My cheeks instantly flushed as I jumped back away from him. I gave him a light humph as I walked into a dress store.
"Welcome to Blossoms Formal Dress do you need any help?" a tall slender blonde girl asked me but fluttering her eyelashes at Edward.
"No, thank you," I said as I began searching through the racks of silk dresses. Maybe I should pick this blue one, or maybe black...Arg this is to difficult! I pushed my conflicting thoughts away and picked out a few simple ones.
"What about this one?" Edward suggested holding up a blue dress.
"Wow, um, sure. I'll try it on." I said scrambling for words, it was perfect. I rushed into one of the changing stalls and slid on the dress. I stared at myself, this body couldn't be mine. The silk clung to my curves making me look much skinnier, and creating the illusion that I had a small waist.
It was a sleek dress that hung around my feet and piled on the floor from the extra length. The only strap the dress had was split into two thick pieces that wrapped around. The thinner piece of the two connected at the back of the dress under my right arm. Ironed pleats began at the waist and worked themselves down to the bottom of the dress. Wrapped around the chest was another pleated piece of material that, at the bottom, came up and molded itself neatly into the strap. It appeared as though that same piece of fabric came down, out from under the arm, and wrapped down my right side before ending and falling into the pleated pattern.
I couldn't help but stare at myself until someone broke my trance.
"Do I get to see what it looks like on you?" Edward asked. I lightly blushed, I would save the dress to show him later. I quickly but carfeully took off the silky dress and hurriedly put back on my original clothing. I stepped out of the changing room and went up to the counter and handed her the dress.
"That would be 1,200," she said. I froze. No way! There was no way I was going to have Edward pay for this.
"Here," Edward said handing the lady a gold credit card.
"Edward," I said as I grabbed his hand to stop him, "There is no way in hell I am going to let you buy this dress for me!" I practically yelled at him.
He let out a sigh, "Bella I have already spent money on you, why does this change anything?" I stared into his emerald green eyes,
"Because those things added together is 1,200 dollars I can't let you pay for a dress that is 1,200 dollars!" I said. He chuckled under his breath as he took his other hand and removed my hand as he continued to let the lady pay for the dress.
"I can't believe you bought that dress," I muttered.
"Bella I'm sure you have spent much more money than that." Edward said. I whipped my head around.
"What? Is that what the kind of person I am?" I yelled at him. "No Edward, I have never spent that much money. Some people don't spend their money willy nilly!" I said as I stormed off.
Edward's P.O.V-
I sighed. How could I say something so careless? I called over one of the workers and asked him to hold the bags of clothes as I ran after Bella.
"Bella, wait!" I cried out. She made a quick left and ran out of one of the exits. I followed as swiftly as I could.
I ran out to Bella. She was standing in the middle of the street, rain was pouring down, and she just stood their frozen.
"Bella," I spoke as I gently grabbed her shoulder. She turned to me her hair, face, and body soaked with water. It looked as if she was crying.
"Bella, it was nothing. What I said...I didn't mean it." I said trying to explain myself. She shook her head.
"Edward, do you think that I am upset about what you just said? No. It's everything." she said her eyes boring into mine. I gave her a confused look. She let out a sigh.
"Edward, our parents HATE each other. Although I think that their hate for each other is stupid and childish...I can't do this anymore." Bella was giving up.
I grasped her shoulders, "No, Bella what our parents are doing, that has nothing to do with us. Nothing!" I said. I really just wanted things to go back to the way they were when we were four.
"I wish things would just go back to the way they were when we were four." Bella whispered, it was as if she read my mind. I embraced her in a hug and whispered in her ear,
"I do too."
Bella's P.O.V-
After we were finished shopping we were off to some other place. Edward and I had changed into different clothes before we left. I couldn't help but remember Edward and my moment in the rain. After he gave me the hug I saw something.
Because it was raining his clothes got soaked, that's when I saw it. Around his neck was a silver necklace. I could clearly see the ring. I bit my lip, he had kept it! I had thought it was childish of me to keep the ring so I had hidden it a secret place.
"We have arrived," Edward's driver announced. We stepped out to see...a carnival? There were roller coasters, a farris wheel, games, junk food, entertainment and lots of fun to be had!
"Are you girls ready to have some fun?" Emmett cheered. I couldn't help but smile.
"Don't over eat though, we have something special planned for after this," Jasper warned us.
We broke off; Jasper and Alice, Emmett and Rose, and Edward and me.
Rosalie's P.O.V-
Emmett and I had just gotten off one of the roller coasters. Today I had forgotten about the incident and just let go to have fun.
"You there, young man, would you like to test your strength?" a man in white and red striped clothing asked Emmett. It was one of those games where you hit the platform with a hammer and the metal piece shoots up and hits the bell, if your strong enough.
"If you hit the bell you get this free HUGE stuffed animal." the man said pointing to a huge stuffed bear with a red bow around its neck.
"Sure," Emmett said as he rolled up his sleeves. The man handed him the hammer, and Emmett swung it down on the platform, the metal piece shot up and rang the bell, as it went the rainbow colored lights followed it. The man looked shocked, I smirked I guess he didn't expect Emmett to win. He handed Emmett the huge stuffed animal with a bewildered look on his face.
"Here you go my lady," Emmett said as he handed me the animal. I laughed and took the stuffed bear. I looked up, smiled at him and hugged the animal. Emmett still remembered that bears were my favorite anamals.
"Thank you Emmett." I said. He gave me a grin as we continued our way through the fair.
Alice's P.O.V-
"Come on Jasper, pppppppppppppppllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeee can we go on that roller coaster?" I pleaded with Jasper as I pointed up at the biggest rollar coaster in the fair. It was a bright red and orange roller coaster, it had four loops, a huge 210 foot drop, and it looked totally freakin' awesome!
"I don't know, Alice," Jasper said hesitantly as he stared at the monsterous roller coaster. I looked up at him and gave him the Alice puupy look. He let a sigh of defeat and let me drag him to the ride.
After the ride we got off and Jasper didn't look that good.
"Jasper, are you okay?"I asked in concern he looked a little green. Jasper let go of my hand and ran over to a trash can as he threw up. I bit my lip and walked up to him.
"Jasper, why didn't you tell me you didn't want to go on the ride?" I asked him as I gave him a light smack on the head.
"I did," he muttered.
"Oh," I said looking down.
"Hey Alice it was fun, well okay I'm lying, but I just wanted to make you happy." he said as he gave me a hug. I smiled up at him,
"But I'm with you, so I'm as happy as I can be." I replied as I hugged him back.
Bella's P.O.V-
Edward and I were going from ride to ride, but I didn't want to go on any of the major roller coasters. I didn't want to get sick.
"Hey Edward lets go on the ferris wheel!" I said as we rushed over and got into one of the seats. The ride jerked forward and we slowly began to go around.
"Wow," I breathed, I thought Edward's balcony had a great view this was incredible! The sun was slowly setting, you could see the houses and trees.
I glanced over at Edward, he looked just as captivated as I was. His bronze hair ruffled in the wind, his eyes glowing, and he looked utterly perfect.
"Um...Edward about today when I made you get soaked in the rain...I'm sorry." I said not making eye contact.
"Why are you apologizing?" he whispered his voice light and gentle. I turned to stare at him,
"I just...I'm sorry." I said again, he let out a melodic laugh.
"Bella if anyone has to say sorry it's me, I just..." he said as he lagged off.
"Wow," I said, " Edward Masen at a loss for words."
He laughed. "Yeah. Well . . . I guess I just wanted to spend time with you. We never talked after the incident when we were four." he continued.
I glanced at the sunset, "I know," I whispered I wasn't even sure if he heard me.
Then the ride was over and we got off and went around for a few more hours. We all met back at the limo and went on our way. We stopped, and the boys told us that we should get dressed. We split up and went into the room where the boys had reserved so that we could get changed and ready for what was next.
Once we were all dressed, we stepped out, but there wasn't anyone, and there was a different limo. This time a white one, we glanced at each other but stepped in.
Rose was wearing a glossy, red-orange dress that dropped into a deep V down her chest. The fabric that was actually covering something had an ironed pleat like my dress, but at the top of her shoulder the strap became a thick piece of fabric that had jewels lining the edges and beaded flowers intricately designed between them. The straps formed an X on her upper back and came down under the V where it met with a jeweled shape. Coming down from the base of the V was the same pattern as the straps but going around her waist and meeting at a small downward point just above her butt. As if that wasn't enough the dress had a slit that started about 5 inches above the knee. Talk about a dress!
Alice's dress, however, was much simpler. The dark purple halter fell about 5 inches above her knee and, although, there was a low kneck line on her dress as well, it appeared much more modest. At the base of the V there was a silver oval with designs and patterns on its face. Winding around her chest was a fabric that had little jewels embedded in it.
"Where did the guys go?" I asked the driver.
"They already left, they will meet you at the place." he replied. He drove and stopped a few minutes later.
"Alright, Miss Alice this is your stop." he said.
"Wait aren't we all going to the same place?" Rose questioned the driver.
He shook his head, "I just follow orders Miss Rosalie. This is where Master Jasper said to let Miss Alice off." he said. Alice shrugged and stepped out.
The driver went off and then stopped again.
"Okay, Miss Rosalie this is your stop."
Rose stepped out of the car. That left me. The drive was definitely longer then Alice and Rose's, but finally he stopped.
"Miss Bella this is your stop." he announced. I stepped out and froze. This couldn't be right, I was standing in front of a forest. I turned around to tell the driver he must be mistaken but he had already left.
I then saw lights that were twisted around the tree branches, it was lighting the way to where ever I was supposed to go. I followed the lights, it was harder then I thought wearing these heels and hiking through a forest, not a good mix especially with me being a klutz.
I froze, there in the center of a breath taking meadow was Edward. Around the meadow were lights that were stranded around trees and there, in the center was a table lit with candles and food. Edward stood there in a nice fitting tux looking like a god.
"Oh my god," I muttered.
Alice's P.O.V-
After the driver had let me out, I stood there confused. Where was I supposed to go? Then a women emerged dressed in an outfit that looked as though she would be serving someone with her hair tied in a tight pony tail. She looked to be about 5'5" and with my heels I was a few inches taller than her. She was holding one of those old fashioned candlebras.
"Good evning, Miss Alice. My name is Catherine and Master Jasper has hired me to help you find where he has set up dinner." Catherine said. She instantly began walking through the grass, and I followed. I hope Bella doesn't trip or fall and ruin her dress, I thought. I could see her now trying to find her way through a forest and breaking one of her heels and managing to break her arm along with the heel. I let out a giggle until I saw the light up ahead.
My mouth fell open, Jasper had a huge blanket set out on the lush grass, there where candles everywhere and he had a basket with food. Wasn't this supposed to be a challenge? This looked more like a date!
Rosalies' P.O.V-
The driver drove off and I stood there in front of a restraunt. I stepped in to find the whole place empty even the tables were gone except for one. There was Emmett standing there grinning like a fool at me. The restraunt was definitely fancy and there were candles at the table.
"Wow, Emmett. You guys didn't have to go this far. I mean a regular dinner would be fine too." I said. Emmett was wearing a sleek tux that made him look beautiful. He smiled sheepishly at me. I took my seat and Emmett took his.
The dinner was delicious I couldn't deny that. We chatted about random events, and after we finished our desserts Emmett stood up and offered me his hand. Then slow music began and I knew we were going to dance. I took his hand and he instictively wrapped his arm around my waist.
As we danced he brought that topic up.
"Rose, please tell me what I did wrong all those years ago." Emmett pleaded with me. I glared at him he just had to ruin the moment.
"Emmett I saw you with her," I hissed out. He stopped dancing.
"Who?" he demanded.
"That girl Jade. I saw you kiss her, you even said "I will always be here for you Jade" I quoted what he said. Emmett ran his hand through his hair,
"That's why you haven't spoken to me for years," he said shocked. I let out a humph and began heading towards the door. I felt him grab my wrist,
"That's not what I meant," he said. I stared into his eyes.
"Then tell me who she is!" I demanded.
"She is my cousin Rose, Jade Mathews. She is my mom's sister's daughter. Her mother had just died." he said. I froze,
"What?" I said shocked.
"Rose, I was just comforing her. That's why and we didn't even kiss, ok well we did but on the cheek." he began explaining himself.
"Oh," I whispered, how could I have been so stupid?
"Rose, your blaming youself." he said reading my mind. I shook my head denying it I could feel tears clouding my vision. I had ruined years of not talking to Emmett all because I saw him with his COUSIN!
"Rose, your crying." he said as he gingerly wiped away the tears. He then wrapped me in a hug.
"I love you Rose," he whispered. And that's when my world froze.
Edward's P.O.V-
Bella stood their under the moonlight looking like an angel. She was gorgeous.
"Good evening," I said. She walked into the meadow looking completely stunned.
"Edward, how did you find this place?" she breathed.
"I found it one day hiking," I replied not taking my eyes off of my angel. We began eating dinner and talked about random things. Once dinner was finished I hit a button on a remote and music began playing. Bella smiled up at me,
"May I have this dance?" I asked her and instantaneously she blushed. God, I just wanted to kiss her there.
"You may," she replied as we began dancing. Then she began a conversation.
"Edward, you still have it don't you." she whispered. I bent my head down into her hair,
"What do I still have?" I asked her breathing in her strawberry shampoo.
"The ring," she whispered. I stiffened for a second,
"I do," I replied. "Do you?" I asked her. She froze and looked up at me,
"Yes, I do." I smiled at her,
"Bella we shouldn't let our parents petty problems be an issue between us." I said.
"Edward, what are you talking about?" she asked me. She truley was an air head at times, could she not see it, I bent down and whispered in her ear,
"I love you Bella."
Jasper's P.O.V-
Alice and I had finished eating and we began dancing. This had been one of my wishes when I was younger. To have a chance to dance with Alice Brandon. I smiled. And here I was, with Alice in my arms.
"Jasper, I'm sorry," Alcie said to me.
"What for? I thought we said we had started over," I asked confused.
"No, not about that, about today on the roller coaster," Alice said. I let out a laugh,
"Alice I'm fine, it's okay now." She opened her mouth to say something but before she could let out a word I silenced her with a kiss.
Author Note:
lol okay I know I said I wouldn't type another 4,000 word chapter, but I had to it was just to much and I didn't want to stop. So I guess that's good for you readers, lol.
So I was thinking, some people have reviewed saying that they didn't like haveing the flashbacks during the story. So I would live you readers to vote.
If you want me to have three special chapters, where each chapter is dedicated to Edward and Bella, Jasper and Alice, and Emmett and Rose. It will just be a chapter about each of their pasts, nothing more. I will continue the regular chapters, so I will post the special chapters after every other regular chapter. I will only do this IF the majority of my reviews want this, AND if I recieve 100 reviews after the regular chapter.
If you do not want this then please add this to your review that you DO NOT want the special chapters.
So please Review letting me know if YOU DO want the special chapters or if YOU DO NOT want the special chapters!!
thanx
