Diclaimer: I don't own anything. Haha.

AN: SO SORRY for the wait. I hit a major roadblock, and this chapter sucks, but it's necessary. It sets stuff up for a few chapters at least.

It's short, as well. I didn't know what else to add though. Haha.

God! FOUR days until the movie. Or three if you're seeing it at midnight... which I can't because my mom is stupid and said "you can't. you have school on Friday." Pshh. Whatever.

Oh, sorry if there's typos. I'm sure there's a lot. I didn't proof read because I'm to lazy too. Haha.

I downloaded the soundtrack. It's effing amazing. :)

So, this chapter takes place two weeks after Halloween.

Chapter 13 song: There is no song. Sorry.

Dances With Football Players
Chapter 13: Win or Lose?

"Alice," I yelled, "You're going to a football game in November! You don't have to look perfect. You're going to be bundled up and it's windy. Get your ass down here so we can leave!"

I heard a door open upstairs and heard her yell back, "I don't care!" Then the door shut again.

I sighed and sunk back into the couch. "What time is it?" I asked Rose, who was already sitting there.

She looked at her phone, "6:00."

I groaned. "God, we don't even have our tickets yet. We aren't gonna get in!"

"Oh, quite whining, Bella." I heard Alice as she came down the stairs. "I'm done."

"Finally!" I jumped up, "Let's go."

"Yeah. I'm going to have to agree with Bella on this one." Rose said, "It takes about 15 mintues to get to the field, then we need tickets and seats and food and stuff."

"Okay then," Alice said, grabbing her keys, "Let's go."

We walked out to her car and got in. I was in back while Rose was in front with Alice.

While Rose fiddled around with the radio, I felt my phone vibrated.

I looked. It was my mom.

"Hello?" I asked. Why was my mom calling me?

"Bella!" I heard. She sounded excited.

"Hi, mom. What's up?"

"Oh Bella, you remember Phil, right?"

Phil was her new boyfriend that she's been seeing a little over a year. I only met him twice before I left. He seemed nice enough.

"Yeah. Why?"

"Well," She dragged that word out. "I'm getting married!"

I blinked.

"Married?" Then I said quieter to Rose, "Turn that down."

She did.

"Yes, Bella. Married! Can you believe it?"

No.

"Of course I can mom. Why would I think any differently?"

"I don't know. Just my age, I suppose."

"Oh mom." I sighed.

"Yeah. So, I was wondering if you'd be my maid of honor?"

"Maid of honor?"

"Yes. Of course. Who else than my daughter?"

"Well, I guess. When exactly is this wedding?"

"November 29."

"November 29, of this year? Mom, that's in two weeks!"

"I know, it's really soon, but I can't help it. We can't wait any longer. Plus, there a waiting list at the church and there was a cancelation, so we just took it!"

"It's okay. I understand."

"So, you can make it."

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure I can. And if I'm busy, I'll cancel."

"Okay. I'm going to call Charlie to work out travel detail. I just wanted to talk to you first."

"Okay mom."

"So, I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing. I'll talk to you later."

"Yep. Bye."

"Bye."

I hung up.

"What's up?" Rosalie asked.

"My mom's getting married on November 29th."

"Wow."

"Yeah. I have to be her maid of honor."

"Wow." She repeated.

"Yeah."

"So you're leaving us that weekend?" Alice asked.

"Yeah, I suppose."

By this time, we were at the football field. Alice found a parking spot, which was kind of hard because the lot was pretty packed already, and then got out of the car.

As we walked to the field, I noticed that the two teams were warming up on the field.

By the time we had food, soda, and found out seats, there was only five minutes until the game was supposed to start.

"Oh, Bella. By the way, if we win tonight, there's a celebration dance tomorrow."

"Oh? Really?"

"Yeah. Isn't that exciting."

"Sure." I replied.

"And-" She was cut off by the announcer.

"Hello!" It bellowed, "Welcome to the Washington State High School Football Championship game!" There were cheers from both sides. "Tonight's game is between the Tacoma Bobcats," The bobcats cheered, "And the Seattle Wildcats!" Louder cheers from us this time. "Let's meet our starting line-ups." He went onto announce the players from the other teams, then from our team. "Now, let the game begin!"

With that, the ball was kicked off, and we got the ball. We didn't get very far before we got tackled.

We didn't any points before we had to hand the ball over. Fortunatley we kicked it way to the other end of the field, so they had to do a lot of running to get any points.

Unfortunatley, they did get a field goal, so they had three points, while we had none.

After that, they gave us the ball back, and we got farther this time. Emmett was able to run about 30 yards before being tackled, but on the next play, we gained another 30 points, and we were almost to a touchdown. We got on one the next play, and with that the first quarter was done.

During the second quarter, the Bobcats scored a touchdown as well, while we only scored a field goal. So during halftime, the score was 10-10.

The dance team and cheerleaders from both schools did the half time entertainment, but noone really paid any attention to them. Everyone was too nervous and excited for the rest of the game to start up again.

The third quarter was a diappointment. The Bobcats scored a touchdown and a field goal, so after the third quarter, the score was 20-10. This wasn't looking too good.

Then, came quarter four. We lost posession right away, and the Bobcats got the ball again. However, Edward caught a ball, and ran it in for a touchdown. 20-17.

There were 4:49 left in the came, and the Bobcats had the ball again. When they only had to go 20 more yards, they didn't get it far enough on 10 downs, so they attemped a field goal, but missed. That earned a lot of cheers from us Wildcats.

So, at 1:29, we had the ball again, and we were very close to a touch down.

Which we got. At 0:27.

Needless to say, we won that game 20-24.

I'm pretty sure that the Wildcats cheered for about 15 minutes.

That's not the most memorable thing though.

What I remember most is how the players reacted.

I remember as soon as the buzzer went off signaling the end of the game, they all took off their helmets and threw them everywhere, and were cheering along with the audience, especially the seniors.

I remember seeing three of the players run up to the coach, and it was a super bowl ending. Gatorade and all.

Once everyone settled down, the announcer came back on, this time he was on the field.

"It's time for the award ceremony!" He announed. "State Champion runner-ups, are the Tacoma Bobcats." The fans for Tacoma, started cheering, but not very loudly. Then it was our turn. "And in first place, for the third year in a row, the Seattle Wildcats!" At that point, you could barely hear the announcer, because the fans were cheering so loud.

All the players and coaches went out to the trophy, and different people said different things, but I could barely hear them.

About and hour after the win, people started filing out of the stands, mostly Tacoma fans and team members. It seemed like noone on our team wanted to leave, however some were. Probably trying to beat traffic.

Eventually the team went to the locker rooms, and people took that as their cue to start leaving. Alice said to wait a while because there were already a million cars trying to get out of the parking lot.

So we waiting.

After about 15 mintues, my phone started vibrating in my pocket. I it out and opened it, after fumbling a few time because I had my big gloves on.

"Well hello champion." I said to Edward as I answered.

He laughed, "Well thanks." He sounded very pumped, "So, I would ask you to come see me under the bleachers real quick, but I'm a little busy."

I laughed this time, "I can hear." I could. It was very loud in the background.

"Yeah. So, I'll probably see you tomorrow, then."

"Okay. See you tomorrow."

I shut my phone, and noticed that Alice and Rosalie decided it was time to go.

-----------------

When I got home, Charlie was waiting for me in the kitchen.

"Hey, dad." I said.

"Hey Bella. How was the game?"

"Good. We won."

"That's good."

"Something wrong?" He normally wasn't up this late, even on a Friday night.

"Just wondering if your mom called you."

"She did." I said, as I sat down.

"Okay. I guess she was going to have you down for Thanksgiving already. Did you know that?"

"No."

"Yeah. Well, I guess she wants to fly down next weekend. The 21st or 22nd? You're going to have to call her again. But she wants you to stay until after the wedding."

"Oh."

"She didn't tell you any of this?"

"No. I was in the car."

"And she cared."

"Actually she didn't know." I laughed, "She just said she'd call later. She probably assumed since it was a Friday night, I'd be busy."

"Well, that's new. Realized her daughter has a life."

I laughed, "I know."

There was a pause.

"So, you guys won? Tell me about it."

Review :)

Again, sorry it took so long.

I actually know what I want to do now, so it shouldn't be so long next time. haha.
