Chapter 12
Okay, before I actually start this chapter I have to make something clear about the last chapter. The tittle was Ping pong, now some were confused to why the tittle was called Ping pong. Well, you know the game ping pong, right? The different paddles hit the ball? Well think of it this way, you are the ball and all the different paddles are Edward, Rose, Anna, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and possibly Carlisle, and Esme (and unrevealed characters) later. So, now when I'm rewriting a chapter with different POV's I'll call it Chapter -Ping pong. That way you'll know that it's basically the same except in different POV's.
"So, Bella. Are you going to get in the car or what?" Alice persisted appearing on my right.
"Where am I supposed to go?" I asked impatiently. No more games.
"To your bachelorette party silly!" she giggled at my naivety.
"WHAT?!"
"You heard me!" Alice said defiantly.
"You're serious!" I felt my eyes go wide in shock.
Yeah, sure I knew they'd do this eventually, but isn't it a little soon? What month was it? June, right? End of June beginning of July. Somewhere around there. And when's the wedding?
Oh my god. I don't know when the wedding is. I don't know the date of my own wedding. I don't know who's coming. I don't know what my dress is going to look like! I don't even know what type of flowers I'm going to have! Or the color themes!!!
I gasped.
"What is it?" Anna asked.
"She's worried," Jasper grunted.
"I'm sorry," I mouthed to him.
And I was. I didn't want him to feel the way I'm feeling. I mean the color scheme could be teal and burgundy for all I know. And my dress could be Versachi or whatever. And then some perverted uncle might be invited. Even though I'm pretty sure I don't have a perverted uncle... But that's not the point!
Why am I worrying about this? I never worry about stuff like this. I usually hate stuff like this, a big fancy-smancy wedding. But now...
"What is it Bella?" Edward nuzzled my neck concerned.
"I-I don't-" I decided against saying that,"What day is it?" Everyone gave me strange looks, but I ignored them.
"Well, for starters its a Saturday," Emmett started,"And it's a full moon. Then, in five days it's fourth of July. After that, it's my birthday on the 3rd." He grinned in spite of himself.
Alice elbowed him hard,"You forgot the most important date!"
"And what would that be?" he asked confused.
Edward cleared his throat.
"Riiiiiight!" he managed a nervous laugh."I didn't forget that! It's on the..."
Alice rolled her eyes,"It's on July twentieth."
"See! The twentieth!" exclaimed Emmett. "I told you I knew!"
"Right Em," Rose shook her head at her husband's spontaneous stupidity.
"So?! I bet you, Bella didn't know!" he whined as Rose pulled his ear to talk to him inside.
I opened my mouth to protest, but I couldn't. I didn't know my wedding date until this very second. So I closed it fast and flushed.
"That soon?" Anna said surprised.
"I guess so," I shrugged."I let my wedding planner do all the details." Alice beamed at this.
"Really? Who'd you get?" Anna asked excitedly.
"Me, of course!" Alice was swelling with pride.
"But why so soon?" Anna repeated the question.
"Because, we have a deadline." Alice stated it like it was the simplest thing.
"YOU'RE PREGNANT?!" Anna screamed looking to me in shock and to Edward in disgust.
"No, no, no! I can't! It's impossible! I can't! NO!" I started stuttering. How could she think that? I can't be pregnant! It's impossible, I'm a--and Edward is a-
"Oh, I just thought..." she looked down embarrassed.
Rose giggled. She an Emmett were back. "Hah! Bella and Edward! Having sex together?!" Anna flinched at the word sex. Rose just laughed like it was the funniest things in the world. "Do you know long it took Edward to feel safe with Bella? To touch her? None the less even kiss her."
I crossed my arms. That wasn't fair. He was being careful, although... That was one of the most agonizing things I had to go through.
Edward growled at Rosalie, for offending him and myself.
Anna stared at Edward with her nose slightly crinkled,"Did you just growl at her?"
Edward's face turned expressionless,"Why?"
She shrugged, not feeling intimidated by Edward at all,"I don't know. But aren't you a little old to be growling at people?"
Everyone stood rigid. It wasn't really their fault that they growl, or purr. It was a reflex. And, I thought, it was adorable. Especially when Edward purrs. His voice was even more silkier than usual when he purrs...
"What? You don't anyone who growls?" Alice defended her brother.
Anna just shrugged,"I guess it's a Washington thing."
Or a vampire thing... At my side Edward's eyebrows raised in curiosity. I wonder what he heard. It better not be anymore information about me that Anna has stashed in her head. She knows too much, and knows nothing at the same time.
"Well, get in!" Alice indicated towards the car.
Reluctantly, fine okay. I wanted to sit in my new car. To feel the black leather interior. To feel the way it drives. But I don't know where I'm going! For all I know I could be going to Florida! I doubt it, too sunny. Way too sunny. Too much sun, ugh. Sun. Sun and vampires equal glitter, lots and lots of glittery skin. And that might draw a little too much attention. Just a little.
"But I still don't know were I'm going!" I complained.
Rose rolled her eyes,"Then follow the GPS system! Come on!"
The temptation was too great, I had to stall.
"What about Edward?" I pouted.
"Don't worry about him," Rose waved her hand like it was nothing.
"He'll be fine," Alice reassured. "He's just going to go in the other car with Emmett and Jasper."
"And the luggage," Jasper groaned.
"And the luggage," she gave Jasper a small smile.
The Jeep was the Jeep. Sure, it's big. But with all that luggage, not so much. And who knows where we're going? Or how long it'll take us. Okay fine, maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know, but that's not the point!
"Fine," I grumbled. I opened the door and slid in the seat. It was surprisingly roomy. Too bad there was only two seats. "Where are you guys going to sit?"
"Oh, I'll be following you in my Porshe." Alice winked,"Don't worry we won't lose sight of you."
I ran my fingers on the leather. It was so smooth and it smelled like new car.
Alice stood on her tip-toes and whispered something to Anna's ear. She giggled and nodded.
"So, are we going to go or what?" Anna asked.
I nodded. This is my car. My car. This tiny little detail I can't get out of my head. I put the key that happened to be in my hand and started the engine. It purred! You could barely hear it. Major difference from my truck. I love that thing to death, but this car takes the cake.
Pulling out of the driveway I felt an exhilarating rush. It felt good. So I speeded a little, okay a lot. I was surprise I could--would want to--go this fast. No wonder the Cullen's liked fast cars.
Anna pressed a little button that slowly made the top go down. I gasped. No way. A convertible? I laughed for no apparent reason. Just the surprising joy of my super cool shiny black car. Who cared if I'm going on a bachelorette party and my finance is going to his bachelor party? I have my shiny car, that's a convertible. Did a mention it's a convertible?
I flipped on the radio.

BY RIHANNA
I smirked, the whole way Anna was singing along with the song. Not, very well, but defiantly better than I ever could.
"Your fiance sure has a good taste in cars. And money, how else did he buy this?" Anna turned down the music so she didn't have to shout over it.
"Um, well. Carlisle is a doctor," I said. That's partially true. That and he's been saving money for a hundred years...
"Riiight," she said,"But really, I thought you said you didn't like guys like Edward."
"What do you mean?" I tried acting dumb. I don't want to go over this. Not now, not yet. They could hear us! I looked at the rear view mirror, there was Alice and Rose smirking. Then behind them, if I looked hard enough there was Emmett and Jasper rolling with laughter in the Jeep. Edward's lip was curled, no doubt he was growling.
"You know what I'm talkin' about," she nudged my arm.
"No, I seriously don't." Why can't she just drop the subject? You tell a girl your preference if men and they'll never forget. Errrr!
She rolled her eyes,"Yes you do." She was clearly annoyed now. "You know perfectly well that you didn't like guys like that."
I clenched the stirring wheel harder,"Oh really? And what guys did I use to like?"
Please, please, don't say it...
"You know, pretty boys." she said casually.
She did not just say pretty boy. Tell me she did not just say pretty boy. Anything else but pretty boy...
I could hear Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and Rose's laughter from here. And they're about fifty or so yards away.
"You didn't just say that," I groaned. I fought my reflex to scream and put my head in my hands.
"Why?" she cocked her head curiously.
"Ugh."
"What?" she whined,"It wasn't like they heard me or anything."
"Ha." I scoffed,"Right, didn't hear..."
My sight flickered to the rear view mirror once again. If I thought they were laughing hard before... Even Edward is smirking! Chuckling! Ugh! I'm surprised that they didn't need to pull over. Then again, they are perfect in every way possible.
Anna shifted so she could see what I'm looking at,"Wonder what's so funny."
Love it? Hate it? Okay-ish? Review! Don't forget to help me find grammar mistakes! Be specific!
P.S.-I need ideas for road-trip songs!!!
