Chapter 14: Victoria
Bella POV
"Bella….." a smooth voice filled my ears.
"Who is this?" I asked.
"I can't believe you forgot about me already," this mystery person replied.
"VICTORIA?!?!?!" I screamed.
"Yup," she replied popping the 'p.'
Yeah, that's right. Victoria and I became very good friends once she finally realized that James never truly loved her. So she no longer had a reason to hate me anymore. Although, she still hated Edward with a much more passion than before, because of what he did to me.
"Ohmygoshhowareyou!!" I said quickly.
"Slow down, Bella. I was just wondering how you were doing," she replied.
"Everything's great, so is the family, but guess what"
"What?" she asked.
"The Cullens are back," I said.
There was silence.
"Hello?" I asked multiple times, but there still was no answer. Just as I was about to put the phone back down, my door slammed open.
"You're freaking kidding me Bella!! They left you and you're sitting there being happy-go-lucky!!" Victoria screamed.
"How in the bloody hell did you get here so fast?"
"I was only a few miles away. I was already going to come and visit you. Ahhh!! You're getting me sidetracked. Now answer my question!!" she demanded.
"It's only actually Edward, Vic. The other Cullens are fault free," I assured her.
"But they still left you, didn't they?" she challenged.
Well, now that I think about it, she has a pretty damn good point.
"Hey, Bells, you have a – oh nevermind, I see you've seen her already," Dylan said, "both of you guys come down when you're done, ok?"
I nodded. He left to go downstairs.
"Love you," I shouted.
"Love ya too," he replied from downstairs.
Oops. I completely forgot about Vicky. I turned to look at her and she was tapping her foot as she glared at me.
"Well?" she asked.
"You have a good point. I never thought of it that way," I said then I was in deep thought.
"I'm going to give them hell when I see them. And you will not stop me," she ordered.
"Ehh, I don't mind. Be my guest. Do your worst on them," I said.
"Come on," I linked arms with her and we went downstairs.
"VICTORIA!!!" my whole family shouted, as they each gave her a hug.
"How are my favorite godchildren?" Vicky asked.
"We're your only godchildren. We have to be your favorite and we're great Aunt Vicky!!" Jane and Alec said to her.
I allowed Victoria to be the godmother of my children. She absolutely adored them and she was really supportive back then when I was still getting over the 'slimy mother fucking bastard who sucks his own dick', as Victoria says. Harsh you say? I say not!!
"Dylan," she said formally.
"Victoria," he returned her tone of voice.
"Come here you," she ran over to him and gave him a big bonecrushing hug.
"Nice to know you missed me that much Vicky," he joked.
"Of course I did!!"
Victoria completely adored Dylan. She's been team Dylan since she first met him. It's a good thing though, I really thought that she was going to be all O.P.B.S on me. O.P.B.S means Over-obsessive Protective Big Sister.
"So, what brings you here good 'ole Victoria?" Mitchy asked.
"To see you guys silly!!" she replied enthusiastically.
"Who are you and what have you done to Vic?" we all asked.
"What?" she said with a lazy grin.
"Before you were all emo-ish," Anna said.
"Now you're all smiling there's no tomorrow," Nick continued.
"And you haven't even teased me about anything," Andrew finished.
"I've changed for the better," she said in a serious tone.
We all ended laughing together.
"Just kidding!! Like I could ever change my ways," she said, "got any food?"
"Fridge," Keanna replied.
Vicky shares the same diet as us, so she's not very evil anymore.
As she was about to open the fridge, Andrew blocked her way.
"Get out of my way Andy," she seethed.
"No, you're going to eat all of our food. You always do!!" he whined.
"Andy, andy, andy, andy, andy," she sang his name for about 3 minutes.
"Fine, dammit," he gave up and gave her access to the fridge.
Andrew hates it when Vicky calls him Andy. He says that it makes him sound 'gay.' No it doesn't, Andy is a cute nickname.
"Hey you," Dylan grabbed my waist.
"Hey yourself," I turned around and gave him a kiss.
"So you promise that you'll never act like that again?" I asked.
"Mhmmm.." was his reply. That is not a promise.
I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Ok fine, I promise," he dragged on the 'promise.'
"Pinky promise?" I asked as I raised my pinky at him.
"Pinky promise," he assured as he linked our pinkys together.
"SOOO CUTEE!! I knew there was a reason I liked you," Victoria sang.
"Why thank you," Dylan replied in a British accent. I nearly moaned at the sound of his voice. He just merely smirked at me. Grrr
"How long you staying for Vic?" I asked.
Sometimes she stays for a week, three days, it always changes.
"Forever!!" she yelled.
"Really?!?!" we all asked.
She nodded.
"What made you change your mind?" Steph asked.
Before, no matter how many times we begged her, she still insisted on being a nomad. What's up with the change of heart?
"I decided that I don't want to be alone anymore," she replied.
"Finally!!" I screamed as I hugged her.
"So I'm welcome then?"
"Always," I replied.
Andrew groaned.
"Great…. Now she's going to tease me even more,"
"And I'm proud!!" she said.
"Aren't the Cullens coming today?" Dylan asked.
I groaned too. That completely slipped my mind. After our encounter at the concert, I gave them our address and told them to meet us today.
"I completely forgot," I replied.
"I'm going to give them hell," Victoria then said out of the blue.
"Who's with me??" she asked.
Everyone stood up, except me.
"Come on Bella, it's going to be fun," Mitchy whined. He gave me his best puppy dog eyes and his best pout. Damn that face!! It's just too cute to resist.
"Fine, I'm in!! just stop looking at me like that," I demanded.
"Any suggestions?" Anna asked.
"Oh I got one!!" Andrew said.
We all looked at him gesturing to move on.
"We can put make up on their faces while they sleep," he said.
We all gave him a you've-got-to-be-kidding-me look.
"What?" he asked.
"Idiot! They can't sleep," Mitchy said.
"Oh sorry, I forgot," Andrew apologized.
"Amatuer," Dylan coughed.
"That's not nice," I playfully smacked him on the chest.
"I thought you liked me naughty," he asked huskily.
"Yeah to me, but not to them. Say sorry," I demanded.
"And what if I don't?" he challenged.
I gave him a you-really-want-me-to-answer-that look. He hesitated.
"Sorry," he mumbled.
Mitchy, Nick, and Vicky were on the verge of exploding.
"I'm sorry. What?" Andrew was mocking him I just knew it.
"Sorry," Dylan said again.
"Can't hear you," Andy gestured to his ears.
"I said sorry!!" he finally said louder.
"Whipped!!" Mitchy , Nick, and Victoria shouted, as they erupted into a fit of laughter.
"Hey, I'm not the only one," Dylan replied.
"True dat," the boys replied smiling at their wives. Anna, Keanna, and Steph smiled back.
"I'm my own woman," Vicky proudly.
"And I can't wait to play matchmaker for you," I replied.
She glared at me.
"It's time for you to settle down old lady," I joked
"I'm not old," she defended.
"Yeah, if you count being 317 years old young. Hence, the word old," I replied.
"Fine, do what you want. But he better be cute. Understood?" she asked.
"Sure, sure," I said.
"So plans?" I asked.
"I got a good one," Victoria stated, "for all they know, I'm still out to get you, right?"
I nodded.
"How about we fake that I'm here to kill you, then you'll beg for your life," she paused for a moment, "then offer me to kill you instead of your family."
"They'll go crazy and try to protect you. There's no possible way that the can see this coming," she continued.
"Good plan," we all said.
"Let's put it into action. Stay outside until you see them, then come barging in," I suggested, "I hope Edward gets hell for this."
Then the doorbell rang.
"Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear," Keanna murmured.
Go – I sent to Victoria in her head.
She nodded and jumped out of the window. I plastered on my fake smile and answered the door.
"Hey guys"
"Bella," Esme breathed and hugged me. I returned her hug.
"Nice to see you again Esme, and you too Carlisle" I gave a hug too.
"Bella!!" Alice and Emmett shouted at the same time. They ran over to me to give me a hug.
"I get to go first," Emmett demanded.
"No me," Alice said.
"I get to go first, I miss her more," Emmett shouted.
"No, I do," Alice seethed.
"Do not" Emmett
"Do too" Alice
"Do too," Emmett.
"Thank you," she sang then she went over to hug me.
"Damn it, I thought it would work," Emmett mumbled.
I went over to him and gave him a hug as well. I also gave Jasper and Rosalie a hug.
"Edward," I said.
"Look Bella I'm so sorry, if I had kno – "he was cut off as the front door slammed open.
Let the show begin.
"Victoria!!" I screamed in horror. Good job Bella. I sound convincing enough. My lying skills have been improved for the better.
"Bella, you will pay," she seethed.
"Okaay, how much money do you want?" I'm having fun with this.
Touche – she thought to me
"How dare you make a fool out of me!! You will pay for killing James," she paused for a moment and looked to glare at Edward, "After all I said 'a mate for mate.'"
Damn girl!! You got skillz – I sent to Vicky
Why thank you – she replied
Hey guys, it's showtime – I said to my family
"I'm no longer his mate," I said.
"I don't care, you were still the cause of James' death," she shouted. I pretended to flinch. The Cullens caught my action. Good.
"Kill me instead," Edward offered.
"Why would I kill you?? From what I heard you practically killed her," she pointed to me.
"I still love her," he said.
"NO!! Kill me instead, don't touch anyone," I whispered.
"Why Bella?!?! WHYYYY?!?!" Everyone said. Wow, dramatic much.
"NO BELLA!! I won't lose you," Dylan pleaded.
"I'm sorry, but I have to do this. I love you," I said as I gave into Victoria. He actually had tears in his eyes. Wow, he must be taking this seriously.
"This won't hurt a bit," Victoria said.
As she was about to "rip my head off," the Cullens smashed her into our wall. I couldn't take it anymore, and apparently neither could my family. We ended up erupting in laughter. I was laughing so hard that I had to grip onto my sides to balance myself. Everyone looked about the same, Victoria too. The Cullens looked at us like we were crazy.
"Nice job Vicky!!" I gave her a high five.
"You too!! I loved the 'how much money do you want?' That was hilarious," she said.
We were still laughing.
"Awesome job guys!!" I said, "a little too dramatic though, don't you think?"
"Nope," they replied.
"Can someone tell us what is going on?!?!" Alice and Rosalie yelled in frustration.
"Vicky would never kill me, right?" I asked.
"Right, except for when you steal my clothes," she replied. I grinned at her.
"We just kinda wanted to get back at you"
"I guess we had that coming," Emmett said.
"Now this is what I call family bonding!!" a voice said from the doorway.
