Another update! Im very excited! I had SO much fun writing this chapter. I'm pretty sure that you guys will love it too.
So just to let you guys know...this will def be my last update until next monday when I will definetly update. I have my Math exam this friday and my Science exam on monday then I am finished!! I also have to write a Prefect Essay due monday morning at 9 am so I should be working on that. And I have to guard from 2 till 6 tomorrow, 7:30 to 8:30 on monday and 4:30 to 9:30 on tuesday.
I would like to dedicate this chapter to my cat Jasper. My father (who I am now calling evil man) put my cat to sleep on tuesday. He didnt tell me, my brother or my mom until 9 oclock that night. He put him to sleep becasue he wouldnt stop peeing on our stuff. I was so pissed when I heard. I still am pissed off at him that I didnt even get him anything for fathers day. I just couldnt. Not after he killed my cat for a stupid reason.
Also. I hope you guys like soccer. Becasue personally I love it. I love watching it and have fun playing it but I dont play to often. My favorite team is Brazil :) but unfortuently they dont get to be in the Euro cup :(. Did anyone see the Italy vs. Netherlands game? I laughed so hard. I cant believe Italy lost to the Netherlands. My science class is still picking on my teacher for it. Kids were asking her why she hasnt commited suicide yet :P.
Anyways... HERE YOU GO!
"Bella…." I heard my angels voice whispering. I groaned and pulled a pillow over my head, "Come on love, don't be like that," Edward ran his hand down my side. I gasped when his fingers slightly touched the side of my breast. I turn over to face him.
"Hi," I smiled. I started to laugh when I noticed his hair. It was messier than usual, sticking up in all different directions.
"Don't hate the hair," he ran his fingers through his hair.
"Your hair…it's umm…shiny?" it came out more like a question than a statement. I ran my fingers through his hair trying to make it look at least decent.
"Thanks," Edward smiled before kissing me.
"Mmm…" I sighed.
"Come on, we have to get ready," Edward sat up and pulled me up too. We stood and I stretched my arms over my head when I noticed the clock on the dresser.
"Edward! That clock does not say what I think it says, does it?" Edward merely nodded his head. The clock read three-thirty in the afternoon.
"Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" I asked.
"You looked to peaceful and didn't even wake up when I tried the first time," he brushed my hair out of my eyes.
"Where are our kids?" I asked.
"At there regular activities, Laura and Emmett are watching them.
"Well should we get dressed?" I asked.
"Yes but remember that the semi formal dinner is tonight," Edward smiled.
"I remember," I grinned back and wrapped my arms around his neck. Edward wrapped his around my back.
"Bye love, see you in a bit," he leaned down to kiss me one last time which resulted in Laura walking in.
"Whoops sorry guys don't mind me," Laura was about to walk back out of the room when Edward stopped her.
"Hold Laura, technically I'm not even allowed in here," Edward kissed me once more before he walked out of the room and headed towards the front door.
"Hi Edward…" I heard the girl's voice's giggle in the hall.
"I love you Bella, only you," Edward called loud enough so that everyone in the cabin could hear.
"Thanks for the heads up," I laughed.
"So…" Laura sighed, "Things getting pretty serious with Edward?" she raised an eyebrow at me.
"I don't know…I think that they may some day," I sighed.
"Well I think that you both are ready for it," Laura smiled.
"Speaking of boyfriends," I tried changing the topic, "I saw you with that Eric guy…flirting…I must say, he is pretty cute," I grinned. Laura's cheeks started to turn red.
"You like him!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah…" she smiled shyly.
"Do you think he will ask you out?" I asked.
"He already did…" she whispered.
"Aww really! You better have said yes," I pointed at her.
"Of course I said yes, I'm not stupid," she shot back at me.
"Calm Laura," I giggled.
"I am," she laughed.
"Okay who needs help getting ready for tonight!" the one voice I didn't want to hear walked through the door. Alice. I swear that this girl would live in the mall if she could.
"Please Alice," I sighed. I was not ready for makeover time. I swear…she doesn't understand the concept of big sister and little sister. She seems to think she can use me as her 'mannequin'.
"Okay so let's see what you two have in your closets," she said totally ignoring me completely.
"Love you too Alice," I groaned.
"Shhh…trying to work some of my magic," she raised her palm to me.
"Just let me wear this one," I walked over to my closet and pulled out a Forever 21 dress that I bought just before we left. It is a silky royal blue on the chest area and below the bust it had a dark blue, light blue, green, white, black and gray design on it. It was really pretty.
"Perfect!" Alice exclaimed.
"Umm…" Laura looked uncomfortable, "May I borrow a dress, I didn't bring one of my own," she bit her lip.
"Sure," I smiled. Alice stood in front of the closet for a few minutes taking in all of the fifteen dresses that Alice, Rose and I had brought. We decided that since I had the most closet space left that the dresses would stay in there.
"This one would be perfect," Alice smiled. She pulled out a light green halter dress with flowers on it. It was very simple yet elegant.
"Thanks," Laura smiled as Alice handed her the dress. Alice left soon after grabbing a dress for her and a dress for Rose.
Twenty minutes later we were all dressed. The campers headed outside to wait while Laura and I finished our hair. My hair was perfectly straight and about half way down my back. I put my bangs up in a 'puff'. I walked outside to find that many of the girls had shorter dresses on than I did. I swear, pre teens theses days are dressing older and older. After Laura and I spent five minutes going around to the girls and telling them to either pull down there dress or go change, Alice and Rose came over with their cabins.
Alice was wearing a coral pink strapless dress from Forever 21 and Rose was wearing a red knee length spaghetti strap dress, also from Forever 21.
"Well ladies, let's start heading up."
We walked up to the mess hall. All of the girl's cabins were walking together. The boys were already up there waiting for us. And that's when I saw Edward. He looked gorgeous. He was wearing black pants and a royal blue button down t-shirt. We matched.
"Hi," he smiled.
"Hello," I grinned back before he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine.
"You look stunning," he lifted my hand over my head and twirled me.
"I could say the same about you," I smiled in return.
"Okay you two," Catherine smiled, "Were getting a group picture of all the counselors."
Edward and I walked over to where everyone else was standing in front of the oak tree by the water.
"Bella, come stand over here," Alice waved at me. Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me towards where she was standing. I stood beside her and we all started laughing as Emmett did stupid things to piss Rose off which resulted in her smacking him.
"Okay guys, go with your cabins into the mess hall, you may eat at whatever table you like tonight," James said as we started to walk back up to the mess hall.
"Bella, would you like to join me at my table tonight," Edward smiled down at me.
"I would be honored," I squeezed his hand.
"Thank you," he kissed my temple. We now reached the mess hall. The line was pretty long to get food so Edward and I hung back outside. He led me over to a bench where he pulled me onto his lap.
"Did I already mention breath taking you look in that dress?" Edward smiled and brushed a piece of my hair out of my face.
"Maybe…but it's still nice to hear," I smiled and twirled my fingers in his hair.
"Mmm…" he tucked his head into my neck.
"I love you," he whispered against my skin. I could feel the smile against my lip.
"I love you too," I smiled and kissed his head.
"Edward! Bella!" Jasper called us.
"What?" Edward asked looking up to see Jasper standing in the doorway.
"If want any dinner you better come inside, before Emmett eats it all," Jasper laughed. Edward and I stood. He wrapped an arm around my waist as we walked inside.
Dinner was very good. We had Ham and Scalped Potatoes. After dinner we all went over to the rec hall for a debrief on everything that was going to happen tomorrow. Tomorrow it was international day. Every cabin represented a different country and there was a competition between the cabins for points.
Edward and I stood at the back of the hall with the rest of the counselors. James and Catherine were taking turns explaining to them the different stations and challenges when I realized that I forgot my cell phone in the mess hall.
"I'll be right back," I said grabbing Edward's arm.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"The mess hall, I forgot my cell phone," I replied.
"Do you want me to come with you?" he asked.
"No, that's okay, I'll be fine. I promise," I kissed him quickly before leaving the hall.
I walked across the courtyard to see that all the lights were off in the mess hall. I opened the door and flicked on the lights. When I did my body went into shock. I was not ready for what I saw. I saw a young adult standing in the middle of the hall holding my cell phone, glaring at me. Mike.
"Hello Isabella," he sighed walking towards me.
I couldn't speak. I stood there in shock not sure what to do. I realized that I was still standing in front of the door. I turned around trying to make a run for it. I ran out the door but only made it a couple feet away before he grabbed me from behind.
"Now, now Bella. We must behave now. You don't want what happened to you last time to happen to you again do you?" he put a hand over my mouth.
I bit him hard. He took his hand off of my mouth but not before calling me a bitch and pushing me to the ground. It was now or never. I let out the loudest scream that I could. That set him off. He jumped on top of me, wrestling with me as I tried to push him off of me.
"Bella!" I heard Edward's voice yell before his weight was no longer on me. I gasped for air as I heard Edward yelling at him. The words 'touch her again and I'll kill you," ran through my mind as I drifted off into unconsciousness.
EPOV
Bella had just left to go get her cell phone, which she forgot in the mess hall. I brought my attention back towards Catherine and James who were telling the campers about tomorrow's activities. Suddenly I heard a scream from outside. I ran as fast as I could. As soon as I stepped outside I saw her.
"Bella!" I yelled and pulled a guy off of her. Her eyes closed and I knew she had passed out.
"Mike," Jasper growled. Emmett brought Bella inside and Jasper stayed outside.
"Who the fuck is this guy?" I yelled at Jasper.
"He is the fucking asshole that hurt Bella last year," Jasper brought his arm back and decked the guy in the nose.
"Her fault not mines," he shrugged his shoulders. Was this guy serious?
"Her fault. How is it her fault?" I yelled.
"She wouldn't cooperate," he grinned wickedly. Jasper decked him again. I knew that Jasper wasn't much for violence but I could understand the anger he was feeling.
"That's fucking it," I growled. I pushed him up against the side of the building.
Jasper pushed the guys shoulders against the building letting me have my turn at him.
"This is for last summer," I punched his nose, "This is for Bella," I kneed his groin, "This is for coming back," I punched his face again I started to walk away, "And this…" I turned back around, "is how much I am willing to hurt you to protect her," I punched his face one last time before walking away.
James told me that he had called the police and that he is getting charged for breaking the restraining order that Bella had against him. I nodded my head and pushed past everyone. The other counselors were the kids calm at the front of the room. They all looked up me as I ran downstairs to the staff room where Alice told me Emmett brought Bella to.
I walked into the room to find Rose sitting on the couch talking to Bella, trying to get her to wake up I guessed. Emmett was leaning over the back of the couch doing the same.
"Is she up?" I asked. I saw Bella's eyelids flicker a little.
"Yeah, she's asking for you," Rose sighed placing her hand on my arm.
"We'll leave," Emmett said. He and Alice both got up and left. Rose was close to tears; Emmett wrapped his arms around her as they walked.
"Bella," I touched her cheek. She flinched away from my hand.
"Bella love, it's me and only me. I promise," she opened her eyes to look at me.
She started crying. I couldn't stand to see her like this. I lay down next to her, hold her tight against my chest; she grabbed my shirt in her hands and cried harder. I rubbed her back and whispered in her ear that she is safe now.
"I'm sorry Bella. I should have been there. I shouldn't have let you go on your own. I was so stupid…" I started ranting but Bella but her hand on my mouth.
"Shhh…" she whispered, "I'm safe, and I know you're sorry but there is nothing you could have done to stop it. You don't need to be my bodyguard," she wiped away a tear that had fallen from my eyes. I hadn't shed one tear since I was thirteen and my grandma had died.
"You're sleeping in my room tonight," I said with authority. She nodded her head against my chest.
We stayed down in the staff room till about nine. She looked like she was getting tired so I picked her up in my arms and carried her back to my cabin.
"Do you want to stop and get pajamas, Bella?" I asked setting her down and wrapping my arms around her protectively. She shook her head and I brought her into the cabin. Emmett said that he would sleep in his campers' room to give us some privacy. I knew that it might intimidate Bella to have both of us in the room.
"Bella, would you sleep in one of my t-shirts? You wouldn't want to sleep in that dress," I brushed the hair out of her eyes.
"Okay," she whispered. She kept her arms around my waist the whole time I looked for a t-shirt. She noticed a yellow shirt sticking out of the drawer.
"You're a Brazil fan?" she smiled taking my Brazil Jersey out of the drawer.
"Of course," I smiled. Brazil is my favorite soccer team. I remember last summer when Emmett and I were at my parent's cottage we were sitting cross legged right in front of the TV watching the finals of the 2007 Copa America Cup. My aunt (that I really do not like) came in and started freaking out at us for being inside because it was a perfectly nice day outside. She pulled the TV power plug so Emmett and I ran next door to his cottage and watched the game. We fought numerous time throughout the game to who would win. I was of course rooting for Brazil and Emmett was rooting for Argentina. When Brazil won I was crazy happy.
"Their favorite team," she smiled up at me she turned the jersey around, "And he's my favorite player," she say the 'Ronaldinho' on the back. It was good that she was smiling. I was afraid that I wouldn't see her smile for a while.
She walked into the bathroom. I took this time to change into my pajamas. She came out wearing just the jersey and underwear. She but her dress on the dresser and I welcomed her into my arms. We crawled into bed and I held onto her tight, humming a lullaby.
"I love you," she whispered.
"I know," I kissed her head; "I love you too."
I know, I know, I made him come back but hey where would the fun be if I didnt. That little story Edward said at the end with him and Emmett is a true story...well between me and my cousin Matt. Matt (18 at the time) and Me (15 at the time) were sitting infront of the TV at my great grandmas cottage along with my uncle peter when my aunt came in and started yelling at us to go outside because it was nice out. Then we started freaking out becasue this was the final game. So when we didnt listen she pulled the power plug and we walked outside and Matt was like "Hey Lys dont you have cable in your trailer?" so we ran down to my trailer and the end of the road and went inside. We found the game and watched it. Then like 20 minutes later there was a knock on the door and my uncle asks if he can come watch too becasue my aunt (his wife) kicked him out of the cottage too. :P
The links to the dresses and to the soccer jersey are on my profile.
