Disclaimer: I don't own anything... only in my dreams would I own Alice. XD
Chapter 14! :). I'm excited. Although I'm not so excited about the fact that I found some things that my ex best friend made for me. Those were the good times of our friendship but there weren't many, hence the ex. I'm writing a one shot too but it's only on paper so far and it's not completely finished. Anyway on with the chapter I hope y'all like it :).
Angela and I came out of the bathroom and sat back down at the table. Looks were passed between Rosalie and Alice. I figured they were discussing me but I didn't mind. Alice was thinking about me in some way. That made my heart skip a beat. Stupid emotions I wish they would go away.
My phone started vibrating in my pocket. And I jumped and giggled. I pulled it out to see Jess was calling.
"Hello," I said. I actually forgot about Jess. But now that I think about it where is she? What a ditcher. Hee hee.
"Hey Bella sorry I couldn't make it. I had a date. I want to see you guys so bad so I wanted to know where you were so that we could meet up and you could meet my date," I could hear the smile on her voice. This guy must be special or really hot. Maybe it's Mike from Subway. He was cuter than a lot of the other guys that she dated.
"It's alright Jess don't worry about it. But we are at the night club that called Demon's Dungeon, it's on the south side of town we have been here before if you remember that." I said. I don't really remember the last time we were here. It was a while ago and I was too drunk like always.
"Okay Bells we'll find it. See you in a bit." She said. I could still picture the smile on her face.
"Okay see you Jess." I said and I shut my phone and put it back in my pocket.
"That was Jess she's on her way here and she's bringing a guy." I said with a smirk. "She talked like he was cute. But you never know with her. Her kind of guy is weird."
"I know right remember Eric? He was the biggest dork ever. Even worse than Ben and Ben is pretty bad. But I haven't seen her in like forever." Angela said next to me laughing a bit. And yes I do remember Eric he was the worst. Not even cute at all. And had no personality.
"Yeah I remember Eric and he is a dork. And I don't think she will ever date him again because she loves to have conversation and he just did not talk like at all. Hey does anyone want to come get a drink with me?" I asked randomly. I was hoping it would be Alice to be the one to say yes.
"Sure I'll come" Alice said in a cheerful voice. I about died. She just made me feel so good inside I don't even know how to explain it. And I didn't like the fact that someone I didn't even know had so much power over me, because it could turn out hurting me in the end or her taking advantage of me but I don't think she would even think about doing that.
We got up and walked to the bar. Our hands brushed, every once in a while, on the way over there and sparks flew. I felt weak at my knees.
"So do you know the guy that Jess is bringing?" Alice asked curiously.
"No she didn't tell me she just said that she had a date. I'm sure he's an ass most guys are. And he probably is a dork. Just throwing that out there because Jess's dating history is very diverse." I said rolling my eyes and smiling.
"Yeah I know. I agree totally. About guys. I mean you know my story. But even in general guys can be dick heads." She said with a cute sad smile. Did I seriously just hear that word come out of her mouth? That's funny and unexpected.
I frowned at the thought of that asshole named Jasper, and ordered a beer and she got red wine again.
"Again with the red wine? I mean at first I thought you were joking. And I didn't even know they had wine here." I asked giggling.
"Yes Ma'am they do and it's very yummy. Want some?" she said smiling.
I nodded and she brought the glass to my lips. She tilted it slightly and I took a sip. It seemed as if everything slowed down, and it was just me and Alice in the whole world. She took the cup away and smiled, she then took a sip right where my lips have been. Oh gosh I thought I was going to explode. I liked my lips still looking at her. That red wine does taste good.
She winked and we made our way back to the table and again I felt the electric shock that went through me when her hand lightly touched mine. I tried to hide my reaction, but I don't know how well that went. If she felt it too she was better at hiding it. I hoped that this meant something good.
When we made it back to the table everything was just as it was when we left, but everyone seemed quiet. It might have been just me.
Right as we sat down Jess walked in with a guy fallowing her. My heart stopped when I saw him, and not in the good way it does when I see Alice. I would know that face anywhere. It was Jacob. How in the hell did she meet him?
"Ange look who she brought!" I hissed under my breath. Here comes the scene that I'm sure is going to play out.
"Oh. My. God." Angela said and everyone looked at her with question marks written all over their faces.
I stood up. Ange went to stand up with me but I motioned her to stay. "If I need you I promise I will scream. Loud" I said. I didn't want to bring Ange into anything I always hated when something in my life screwed with hers, so I would rather handle it alone.
"Hey Jess." I said trying hard not to glare at both of them. It wasn't Jess's fault she didn't know I knew him.
"Bella." she said smiling, and looking up at Jake. Ewe I don't get how anyone could be even remotely attracted to a man like him. It made me want to throw up. "This is Jacob."
"Yeah I know who he is Jess. He went to high school with me." I said frowning.
"Oh well Jake didn't tell me that and I told him I knew you a while ago." She said giving him a look.
"Sorry Babe. It slipped my mind." he said with a stupid smirk that I could see through. I wonder if Jess could. Probably not I knew him more than she did.
"Okay well why don't you guys catch up while I go use the bathroom?" she asked and then was off to the bathroom I guess she really had to go. Why couldn't she stay here that way maybe things would be easier.
"So Bella let's cut to the chase. I'm here because I have been looking all over for you. It wasn't that hard to find you since Charlie told me what part of L.A. you live in. I met Jess at her work, it was a day you weren't working and she told me she knew you so I asked her out. I just wanted to get to you though Bella." he said smiling like he actually had a chance with me. Please just please, no way in hell would I ever think about dating him again. He's possessive and abusive, plus I think my heart is calling for someone else, as cheesy as that sounds.
" Why do you want to find me?" I asked glaring at him I was really not in the mood for this. I had better things to do than sit around and listen to him.
"So we can be together like we are supposed to be. Bella you know it's true. It's been you and me even when we were split apart. We are soul mates Bells." He said with a smirk. Oh because I was totally buying this, total sarcasm. Why would he even try? I broke up with him a while ago does he really think that I'm stupid enough to go back to that?
"Don't tell me what I know and what I don't." I snapped. I really did hate it when people told me what to do.
Alice walked over then I think she knew something was wrong. She was my angel sent from haven.
"Is everything alright over here? You both looked a little tense and I don't want anything to start," she said lightly while glaring at Jake.
"Everything's okay. I was just telling Jake here how much I don't want him and how much we aren't supposed to be together," I said through my teeth. Realization struck Alice's face, and she looked mad now too, and I think a little sad but I wasn't positive.
"Bella please don't do this. I'm sorry for everything I did in the past. We can fix it Bella I just want you back." He said and it was so fake I don't think the stupidest person in the world would have believed it.
"Jake sorry it's not going to cut it." I said getting more angry by the second. But I made myself calm. Was he really going to try this on me?
"But I love you Bella and you love me you just refuse to admit it." He said seeming annoyed. "Give me one good reason why you shouldn't take me back."
Alice was still standing there, watching very closely. "I don't play for your team anymore Jake."
"What?" he asked confused. "So you're gay?" He asked with a shocked expression when realization struck.
"Yes and maybe I found someone else her name is," I couldn't think of a name so I just took the first one that came to mind. "Lizzie. Her real name is Elizabeth but she likes Lizzie." I lied. Alice shot me a look and I didn't know if it was because she knew I was lying or was totally buying my lie.
"It's her isn't it? She's the one that took you from me! She's the one that's keeping you from me!" he was shouting now and he was glaring at Alice. He was furious.
What happened next happened in a split second. Jake stepped back and threw his fist forward aiming at Alice's beautiful face. As soon as I saw him step back I reach out in front of Alice and grabbed his hand before he could hit her.
I amazed myself with those fast reflexes. I was always a klutz, but something about him wanting to hurt Alice, who flinched, set me off. Good thing I knew how to stop a punch. That would have hurt. I was still holding his hand when I said well more like spat at him "Don't ever try to touch her again!" And I threw his hand back at him.
Jess was back and she heard that, but did nothing to step in. She looked like a doe with big brown eyes that were super wide.
Emmett came over then, and everyone at the table was looking this way. Alice had a shocked look on her face as she realized that someone was going to hit her really hard. "Do you have a problem, dude? Because if you do I can be settle it quickly" Emmett said cracking his knuckles and glaring.
"Emmett!" Alice shouted finally back to normal kind of. "Don't. Let it go," She said with so much authority you wouldn't think she was capable of because she is so small, but she still amazes me.
Emmett backed down but not without a frown on his face. He was scary for a second. I wouldn't have liked to be up against him. And if I ever hurt Alice that's where I'm going to go. As if I don't have enough motivation to not hurt Alice.
Jake looked like he was about to shit his pants. "Jake I swear if you ever try to touch her again I will let Emmett step in. And maybe she is the one that took me from you maybe she's not but don't worry even without her I don't think I would have taken you back. Ange wouldn't have let me. But you better leave and never come back because I don't want to see you ever." I said through me teeth. "And I defiantly don't want you around Alice. So go" I snapped at him. That should have been key enough that Alice was not the person.
"I'm sorry Jess," he mumbled on his way out. He ran with his tail between his legs so to speak.
Everyone went and sat back down. Angela was watching from far away. Once everyone was seated I stood at the edge of the table. "I'm really really sorry everyone." I said. I was near my breaking point I could feel it.
"At least no one got hurt," Emmett said. "And that was a pretty sick save there. How did you learn to do that?" He asked with a smile. Leave it to Emmett to lighten the mood.
"Well I knew it was coming. He was always a violent person, and my dad taught me some basic self defense moves. He was afraid for me because he's a cop and he has seen some really bad people. But I surprised myself there. That was a hard punch and I'm usually falling over my own feet." I said blushing and giggling.
Emmett nodded as if in approval, and Alice said "That's impressive. Thank you for saving me from a punch." She smiled at me.
"If it wasn't for me I wouldn't have had to save you" I said frowning. Just thinking about that makes me want to die. How could anyone hurt something so sweet? Unless you a big asshole that has nothing better to do than hurt girls like that one low life I don't even know but hate already. If I ever meet him he better hope people are around otherwise I wouldn't be able to control myself. But in that case I would probably end up hurting myself.
"It wasn't all your fault Bella. It was his. He is too protective of you even though he doesn't have you." She said with a smile.
I smiled back. "Okay Alice. Whatever you say. And anytime If I didn't know I was going to catch his fist I would have put myself in front of you anyway. I can't let your pretty little face get screwed up because of a big jerk like Jake." I said blushing and smiling at her.
"Awe, thank you Bella that means a lot." She blush and smiled.
After that everyone looked at us. They all knew something. I said, "Just for the record everyone Lizzie is not real. I made her up because usually it works when you tell a guy your gay they usually leave you alone. I don't know how many of you heard me telling him that I don't play for his team but I thought I would throw it out there."
"Don't kid yourself Bells. You and I both know who Lizzie is," Ange whispered so low only I could hear. Everyone went on talk, I joined in a few times but I was too busy stealing glances at Alice to pay attention much.
Angela noticed me glancing at Alice and so did Jess, but she didn't know what Ange knew. Ange knew that I like Alice or thought that I liked Alice as more than just a friend.
"Bella, would you like to take a walk with me? There's too many people in here I need some air," she asked hesitantly as if I would ay no.
"Sure Alice. Angela, Jess I will be back." I said smiling at them. I gave Ange a knowing look. She looked smiled and winked quickly.
"See you Bella. And Alice." Angela said.
"Bye guys" Jess said.
We walked out together and I was very aware of everyone at the table watching us. And still sometimes her hand brushes mine and I feel tingles run up my arm.
I look up at the night sky. The stars are really beautiful, along with the full moon that's shining. Almost as beautiful as Alice I thought.
"It's beautiful don't you think?" Alice asked. I looked from the sky back down to her face.
"Yes, it is very beautiful." At that point I didn't know if I was talking about her or the sky.
Slowly I looked away from her face to keep walking.
"So to continue our getting to know each other from my concert, what's your favorite color?" She laughed. "We'll start simple."
"Blue, by far. You?" I said without even thinking. I wanted to add that it's partly because of the color of her eyes but I didn't.
"Purple. Without a doubt. Um when is your birthday?"
"September, 13. You?
"February 21." She smiled at me.
After that we asked each other questions and talked about a lot of stuff. Soon we made it to a park she sat down on the grass and I sat next to her.
"I love looking at the night sky. It inspired me to write most of the songs that I wrote," she said staring at the sky.
"I always found it peaceful, and calming. I usually sit outside and look at it when I'm stressed. And stars were always fascinating to me." I said looking over at her. She had her arms wrapped around herself and she looked like she was slightly shivering. I wasn't even slightly cold but she's so much smaller than I am. I took off my sweater and hesitantly wrapped it around her shoulders.
"Bella I like the offer but now you are going to get cold." She said objecting.
"Cold doesn't bother me. Plus it's not even cold to me. You're so tiny you're probably cold when it's ninety degrees out," I said giggling.
"Okay fine. But as soon as I see any sign of you getting cold you're going to put it back on if I have to force you to," she laughed.
"Don't worry about me. Even if I get cold I'd rather me be cold than you," I said blushing but I hope she can't see it.
"That's one of the many things I really like about you Bella, you put other people before yourself. All the time," she smiled her beautiful smile at me and even though it was way dark out I could still see her beautiful white teeth.
"I'm glad you like it but that's just me," I said smiling back.
"I love it. Hey there was one more thing I was going to ask you," Alice said with a smile still planted on her face.
"What's that?"
"What's your middle name?"
"Marie. You?" I giggled.
"Isabella Marie Swan. That sounds nice together," she smiles. And I love the way my name rolls off her tongue. It gives me butterflies. "And mine is actually Alice which I go by but my full name is Mary Alice Brandon. I don't like Mary it makes me sound old." She giggles.
"Mary Alice Brandon. That sounds nice too. But I like Alice the best. It's a very beautiful name," I say blushing and loving the way her name feels coming out of my mouth.
"Thank you," She smiles at me and lays her hand over mine. I feel the heat from her hand running all over my body and it makes me want to explode. I love the way she feels, and I'm tempted to run my hands all over her body. So tempted that it hurts. I never believed you could want something so much it hurt. I guess I know now.
We sat like that for a long time, saying nothing and looking up at the stars. That was until Alice suggested we start our way back to the club. As we were walking back. Not saying anything still, because no words are needed. I think about what happened tonight. And I want to do it all again very soon. Spending time with Alice just made my burning want for her burn even stronger. Sometime soon I needed to tell Alice how I felt. But I think we needed to spend more time together before that. I don't want things to go too fast but I don't want them to go so slow that she becomes uninterested (if she even is interested). At least I have her number I can call her to hang out anytime that I want.
Sorry about the long wait. High School's a bitch haha. Anyway I hope the wait was worth it. :) I really love writing this story. Tell me what you think.
