Music: The Lonely Island- Incredibad and Kelly Clarkson- My December
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning when Sue was helping my with my hair she looked like she was thinking that she wanted to say something. She kept on going to say something and then closed her mouth again. I was starting to get annoyed so I finally said, "Sue please tell me."
"I think you should tell your father about Jake."
"Sue he is going to want to arrest him. I do not want him to arrest his best friend's son. That is wrong."
"I know dear, but he keeps on asking questions. I want him to understand why this is going on."
"So do I Sue, I mean I feel bad about putting you and Seth in this spot, but isn't it kind of better? How do you think Harry would have reacted if you told him that Leah was rapped by Jake?"
"I know you have a point. I just feel bad for Charlie; he is so in the dark."
"I promise Sue I will try and make this better. I mean I have not had another problem with Jake since my arm."
Sue giggled, "I heard that Edward and that big boy came to talk to Jake."
I had to laugh too, "Yeah well that was not my idea. They wanted to go down there and kick his ass so we just settled for words."
Sue handed me a bottle of cover up. I looked at her confused. She knew that I never wore make up. It never came out looking like how it should so I always stayed away from it. "What is this for?"
Sue smiled and pointed to my fading purple mark. I nodded and started to apply a little bit to my neck. I guess it looked kind of trashy to walk around school with a hicky. When we were done it was time for breakfast.
Edward picked me up at his normal time. I unfortunately was not quick enough to answer the door first. Charlie got there and gave Edward a dirty look. I peeked from behind my father.
"You mark up my daughter and I make up your face? I like you Edward, but I do not like my daughter looking like a tramp," my father said and moved over to the side so I could leave.
"Yes sir, I am very sorry. It will not happen again," Edward told him and lead me over to his car. I got into the car and waved to my dad who was not closing the door. When Edward got into the car he simply asked, "What is the Chief talking about?"
I moved my hair to the side so that Edward could see the very faint toning of a hicky. I had taken Sue's cover up with me so I could reapply as needed.
"Oh shit Beauty I am sorry. I did not see that or I would have given you some of my mom's stuff to cover that up."
"It is fine; Charlie did not say anything to me. He took it out on you this morning and Sue got an earful last night. She held her own though and let Charlie see the other side of things."
When we got to school it was raining like normal so there was no hanging out in front of the cars. I loved it when it was overcast and it allowed us to be outside, even if it was cold and threatening to all the time. Edward got his umbrella and led me into the building. We met Alice and all of them over by Alice's locker.
"OK so Bella is it me you and Rose after school. We have a lot of shopping to do. So the party is going to be a costume Valentines Day party. You must dress up as a famous couple. I sent out a mass e-mail last night so the whole school knows. Bella make sure to invite that cute brother of yours, Seth, I like him."
I saw Jasper give a look of distaste. Alice said it too and out him at ease quickly, "He is a boy baby, I only love you." Jasper smiled and kissed Alice's short little head.
"OK Bella time for class. Edward is not going to follow you around today. I need my Bella fix since I did not get to see her too much yesterday." Alice's tiny hands grabbed my good arm and started to pull. I waved bye to everyone and was able to give Edward a quick kiss before I was gone.
"So what's up Alice?"
"What did you two do yesterday?"
"Um, nothing really. We hung out at his house and then I was home for dinner. It was a normal day."
"Really Bella? I do not know why you bother trying to lie to me. You know I know everything before it happens and that hicky on your neck says that yesterday was not a normal day," Alice replied smugly as we kept on walking.
"Alice, shhh, I do not want everyone to hear," I scolded her like she was a child.
"Oh Bella you know no one is paying attention to us. They are busy in their own little worlds to worry about ours. So spill. We are girlfriends and that means that we tell each other everything. I can tell you about Jasper and I if that helps."
I looked around a saw a little out cove. I started to pull Alice over there and she squealed in excitement. I know Alice loved gossip and she was better at this kind of stuff then I am. "OK if I tell you, I do not want to hear a word from you. I do not want you running and telling everyone. OK?"
"Yes Bella, Duh! Now get to talking!"
"OK. So Edward showed up late and everyone was gone. Well we where playfully bantering outside because it was not raining. Well the banter became an all out make out session on top of his car. We where rudely interrupted by a car so he put me in this car. He drove us to his house and he picked me up and carried me into the house, kissing me the whole time. I was thrown down on the bed. By the end of everything both of us had our shirts off, but that is it."
"REALLY! OH BELLA I AM SO EXCITED!" Alice shirked. I let her stand there for a moment thinking and then she calmed down and asked, "Why did you two stop?"
"He did not want it to go any farther and I agreed. We where kind of swept up by hormones."
"That's good. I mean you two have not been together for too long so yeah I can understand not going too far yet. But you saw him without his shirt on so you saw his scar?"
"Yeah. After we decided to not do anything else I asked him about the scar and I he told me all about his parents and Gabe. Alice, you gave me a watered down version."
"I know it was not my story to tell. I just wanted you to understand why Edward can be a little hard to get though to."
"Thank you Alice."
We decided to walk over to class now. We where going to be late. We got in a few seconds after the bell rang but did not say too much. The rest of my morning was normal.
During my third class I had to use the bathroom so I asked my teacher for a pass. I walked down the hall to the closest bathroom. When I entered there was no one in there. A few seconds after I went into a stall I heard three girls come in. They where talking about nothing special so I did not think anything of us. Then I smelled smoke. So they went to the bathroom to take a smoke break. Nice. I do not want to get busted with them. I finished quickly and debated on if I should wash my hands. Being someone who is overly protective about their person hygiene I knew I had to wash them. I walked out of the stall and over to the large sink and finally saw who it was. FUCK, just who I did not want to see, Victoria, Tanya, and Sulpicia.
Victoria was the female big wig because she was with James. She had long flowing fire red hair with a strong face. Tanya was her best friend so she was second in command. Tanya's face was soft and beautiful with her strawberry blond hair. Sulpicia was different from the girls. I knew she was a forging student. She had long black hair that passed her ass. She normally wore it on a braid or a ponytail. Today was the braid.
"Well look what we have here!" Victoria said excited.
I smiled at the girls and went to go wash my hands. Maybe if I ignore them it will be OK. They will get bored and leave me alone. Plus I was not strong enough to ever try and fight them off.
"It if Fork's new slut! It seems that you have taken Rosalie Hale's place," Tanya told me.
"I do not know what you guys are talking about."
"Yes you do. First you get the Newton boy to do nothing but talk about you, then you have Emmett becoming your best buddy, Masen is all love struck by you, and it seems like there is a whole bunch of the India boys who love you down on the reservation," Victoria sneered.
"EDWARD IS MINE EVRYONE KNOWS THAT!" Tanya screamed at me.
"That is not what he tells me. He tells me what a cold hearted bitch you are," I said back and regretted it. I am not in a place to fight so why would I choose fighting words. I am an asshole.
"Little girl I would watch what you say when you are so out numbered and you are injured," Sulpicia warned with a thick Russian accent.
"Well our message is to leave our men alone. We know you are working on a little project with James and Aro and do not even think about trying at add them to your little collection of men," Victoria warned.
"I have no interest in any of your men. I am with Edward and that is the only man I care about. All of the others are just friends."
"Well consider this a warning. I know James was telling me all about this picture and I am not happy. So keep your hands fucking off," Victoria said flipping her hair and walking out of the bathroom. Sulpicia gave me a dirty looked and followed.
Tanya was not so quick to follow. She had a few more words with me. "I do not like you Swan, and I hate who your father is. Edward is mine; we are just on a break. SO if you want to slut yourself on him that is fine, but he will always be mine. He will come back. I promise he will, he loved me." Tanya left after that.
I stood with my back to the wall and waited. What the fuck had just happened. Well what happened was that I survived my first girl attack in a bathroom. This is why I did not date in Arizona, I forgot about this kind of shit. I quickly rewashed my hands and left. When I came back into the classroom my teacher gave me a dirty look. I sat down next to Jasper and he asked me what happened with his eyes. I just shook my head no telling him, not now. He nodded.
When class was over Jasper jumped on me. "What happened?"
"I just ran into a few girls who do not like me too much in the bathroom. I was told to stay away from their men since I am the Fork's slut."
"Who?"
"Jasper it was nothing, just a bunch of girl drama."
"WHO!" he demanded.
I finally gave him an answer, "Victoria, Tanya, and Sulpicia."
"Oh. OK well I do not think they will be too much trouble. Victoria is the only one who likes to fight the others are just her little minions. Plus if she gets in another fight she is going to get kicked out so you should be safe."
"Thanks Jasper. I will see you at lunch," I said with a smile and walked off the other way. I was wondering what kind of costume that I would be getting for me and Edward. I was going to ask Rose who her and Emmett are going to be. Maybe her ideas would help me out in some way.
When I walked into the classroom they where back to the normal rows, so that means no group work. I went over to my seat by Rose and turned to ask her, "What are you and Emmett being for the costume party?"
"Barbie and Ken. Did you really have to ask that." Rose said.
I started to laugh. Well I guess that did make the most sense. She did look like Barbie and I can see Emmett as Ken on steroids. I heard Rose giggle too. "Where are we getting these outfits?"
"There is this great year round costume store in Olympia. All of their outfits are authentic. They give Alice a great discount because Esme is related to the guy."
"Does Alice have a hook up every where she goes?" I asked with a giggle.
"Its good to be Alice!" Rose said.
The rest of the day was same as always. I counted down the minutes until I saw Edward. Once I did I gave him my large hug and kiss. We ate lunch and discussed what we would be for the costume party. Edward joked about being Chucky and the Bride of Chucky. Alice was also talking to Jasper about what they would be. She could not think of a really good idea and Jasper was no help, like all of the boys. Emmett was not happy about being Ken. Once Rose told him that she would ask Newton to be her Ken he shut up.
When school was over I met Alice by her car. After class. Rose was telling Emmett how to drive her car. They always did this. Rose hated how Emmett would drive her car, but you can not give a boy a sports car like that and expect him to not drive it like an ass.
We all talked at once about everything when we got into the car and started our three hour drive. I had already called Charlie to let him know what I was doing and that I would be out late. He was happy with that because he heard Rose and Alice in the car so he knew I was not lying.
When we finally got there the place was huge. Alice had finally decided that she wanted to be Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. When we got in there both of the girls told the man who they wanted to be. He whisked my two friends away from me to where they would be able to find their costumes.
As for me I started to walk around looking at all of the pictures of the couple costumes. I found one of a tall man with a smaller dark haired woman. Now my hair was not the same color as hers but the mans was very close to Edwards. I looked t the names on the page. Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. I remembered hearing about them in a history class. Henry changed the world for Anne so he could marry her. He ended up killing her in the end, but he did love her very much. It is said that he told her he was coming to see her on his death bed.
They man finally came back to me to see if I had found anything. I showed him the picture in the book and he told me that would look perfect on me. The dress was the same color green emerald as Edward's eyes. The top was like a corset top and then flowed into a beautiful skirt. I was placed in a dressing room and in a few minutes the dress was thrown in to me. I needed the sale's man help to close the back. When it was on it looked wonderful.
I came out of the dressing room to show my friends. They also where in their out fits. Alice was in a cute little dress that you would see on any I Love Lucy episode. Rose was in this crazy pink outfit that was as Barbie as you can get without being plastic. We both commented on how each other looked and then went back into our dressing rooms.
I told him the size of Edward and he grabbed a hanger for him. Alice and Rose where also done trying on their outfits. Rose and Emmett where going to be Malibu Barbie and Ken. Alice was busying trying to find a red wig for her to hear and a black one for Jasper.
When all was said in done we paid a total of 100 dollars which Alice insisted that Esme wanted to pay for. I kept on trying to give Alice money but she kept on smacking my hands. We put out outfits in the car and then decided that it was time for dinner. We ate at a Chinese food place.
We got a table at the Chinese place and waited for the waitress. Alice smiled at me as if asking me if she can tell Rose. I grounded and smiled.
"I will tell her."
"OK. Rose you are going to love this! Guess what Bella and Edward did yesterday?"
"Alice, my story!"
"Right," Alice said with a smile and then shut up.
I told Rose my whole story. Like Alice she was all overly excited and was bouncing in her seat. She gave me a thousand congratulations on my next step in my relationship. I also wanted to ask them about Victoria and the others.
"So I have a questions for you guys."
"Shoot Bella," Alice told me after she had given all of our orders to the waitress.
"So today I got cornered in the bathroom by Victoria, Tanya and Sulpicia."
"What did they say?" Rose demanded.
"Well they told me keep my hands off of their men and called me the Fork's slut. I mean all of that does not bother me. What bothers me is that fact that Jasper told me Victoria likes to fight. I really do not want to get in a fight. Do I have a lot of worry about?"
Alice nodded, "Well just avoid James and Aro."
"I can't. They are in Rose and my group for history class."
"Oh, well best bet is to talk to them as little as possible. They just feel threatened. Yes Victoria does like to fight, but she is on her last strike. If she gets in one more she is out of here. So she will not start a fight unless she is truly threatened," Alice said.
"Did they say anything about me?" Rose cut in.
"Kinda."
"What?"
"That I took you place as the Fork's slut…"
"Those WHORES! I will fight them myself."
"Rose calm down. You know what kind of crazy bitches they are. Do not worry about them," Alice soothed.
"I have another question," I said wanting to change to topic of conversation.
"Yes?" they both called back.
"Tanya said some things about Edward being hers and that he was going to get back with her. I know this is just me being paranoid, but do you think that could ever happen?"
Alice and Rose both smiled at me. "No Bella, they had a very bad break up so I find it highly unlikely that they will EVER get back together," Rose said first.
"Their relationship was volitional. I told you before that she always demanded more then what Edward had ever given her. Edward was with her because he just wanted to be with some one," Alice chimed in.
"Can you tell me about what happened with them?"
"That is something that you are going to have to ask him. He did not talk to us much while he was with her. During that year everything in his world was Tanya. That is why she hangs out with the Outcast. She did not like us, and hated Rose the most. So when they broke up she had no one else to go to but them. She fits in there perfectly. They are very angry people and I do not really know who for all of them. I know with James and Victoria, but that is it they just kind of formed a club around themselves."
I was left with my thoughts for the rest of dinner. Alice was now telling us how the party was going to be set up and what we where going to be doing. I was stuck thinking about Edward and Tanya's relationship. I wondered how physical they had gotten. I mean I know we have not gone that far but I do not want to be second to Tanya of all people.
When dinner was done it was time for more shopping. Alice took us to the local mall to try and find the perfect Valentines Day presents for our men. Rose wanted to get Emmett some football jersey that was signed. She saw it in the window of a store. It seemed to me like the perfect present for Emmett. He would love that.
Alice was as lost as I was for Jasper. "He does not seem to like simple things like that!" Alice complained.
"Yeah I am not sure what to do for Edward either. Maybe I should just forget about it all together."
"No Bella this is a very special holiday you have to make an effort. I think I am going to get Jasper a guitar. He is always talking about how he wants to learn to play it. What better way to learn the play then getting one. Help me pick one out," Alice said as she tugged me into the music store. I sat there as Alice talked to the music guy for awhile. They where talking about what kind is best for a starter.
"Hey I am gonna go walk around, I will be back in a little," I told Alice. She nodded and went back to her conversation. I saw Rose still in the sports store haggling over the price of the jersey telling him that was too high. I laughed and kept on going. I stopped when I saw a little antique shop in the mall. Normally malls did not have antique shops. I figured I might as well go in and try.
I saw a lot of furniture, clocks, tables, pictures, and house hold decoration. I stopped at a tall glass cabinet filled with small things. I looked inside and saw jewelry. There was rings, necklaces, and bracelets. In the back corner I saw something that caught my eye. It was a watch. Well a pocket watch like and old man's. On the front it had in lovely script MASEN. This was his Valentines Day present. I went to find the clerk.
"Excuse me sir, can I have the pocket watch in the glass case over there?"
I saw the old man poke his head out from a back room. He had big thick glasses and gave me a smile. "Sure Deary, give me a second."
I went back over to wait at the glass case. The old man was back in a few seconds like he promised. He had a key in hand. "What did you say you wanted to look at?"
"The Masen pocket watch."
"Oh, I just got that in the other day. You are a lucky girl. I knew this was going to move fast."
"How much sir."
"Um, 150."
"OK, I will take it."
"Sure dear. Would you like a box?"
"Yes."
I went over and paid for the watch with the credit card my mother got me. She told me to use it on whatever I wanted and Phil would pay it off every month. My mother was going to get very use to being a baseball player's wife. She is going to get to travel the country and spend money, something she has not done in years.
When I left the store I went over to the bench out side of the music store that Alice was still in. Rose was in there with her. I pulled the box out of the bag and opened it up. Inside was a beautiful gold watch. On the front was the name MASEN in raised script. There was a design around the edge that looked like Celtic knots. The back was just a plain gold backing.
Alice and Rose where out in a few minutes. Alice had a very large container that she was carrying. She had a large smile on her face. Rose had her bag too so it was time for us to leave. We went out of the car and got home by eleven at night.
When I walked thought my front door I knew Charlie would not be too happy with my late arrival. I had several bags in my arms. I looked around and did not see him on the first floor. I went up the stairs and put my stuff in my room. I saw the lights still on under Charlie and Sue's bedroom.
I knocked on their door and I heard Charlie call me in. I opened the door and smiled at the happy couple lying down in the bed. "Hey Dad, I am home."
"OK. Thanks for letting me know. Did you get something for Alice's big party tomorrow?"
"Yes. I am going to be dressed up as Anne Boleyn and Edward is going to be Henry VIII."
"That is a great idea. They where such a tragic love story. Lets hope you two do not end up like that," Sue joked.
"If Edward beheads her I may have to arrest him," Charlie chimed in and giggled at his own joke.
I smiled and said, "Yeah that would kinda suck. Well I have to go to bed. I love you guys."
"Love you too Bells," Charlie called to me as I shut the door. I walked down the hallway back to my room and saw Stormy waiting for me. I crouched down and picked her up and wrapped my arms around her. She meowed in my ear so I placed her down on my bed. I needed to get in a lot of rest because tomorrow was going to be a busy day.
