Bella
"Crap!" I said. How long where they there? How much did they hear? And why the hell did they run away?
"What." I started.
"Was." Rosalie began
"That." Alice finished.
"I don't know, but come on!" Alice jolted out of the door., with Rosalie and I right behind her.
We saw the Volvo drive away into the darkness and not once did they glance back.. Again. This reminded me of the time at cheer practice when they ran off with those girls, never glancing back or an apology.
Rosalie remained silent while I was sobbing in the passenger and Alice was crying silently while driving. We tried to follow the Volvo. Let me tell you, whoever was driving in that sleek, shiny car, was fast!
You know when people say car chases look fun? Think Again. This was horrible. We were going 200 over the speed limit.
My job was to check for the Volvo taking any unexpected turns. Our thought was that they were headed for either a bar, or home.
Alice just had to drive and Rosalie had to check for cop cars that were coming close.
The Volvo was driving out of town towards the woods. We followed willingly. We had to know what happened and what they heard.
Since no one else was on the street and there were no houses here, we slowed our pace just like the Volvo's.
Good thing none of the Cullen brothers saw my Martin Vanquish or else they would know it was one of us or all of us.
At this point I really didn't care if they were mad at us. All I wanted to know was how much they know about our personal lives now, which was a secret to everyone except my sisters.
" I have no clue why they are mad. What did we do ? CRY !?! It's not our fault at all ! Why are we even here?" Rosalie spoke form the backseat of the car.
"I have no clue either. I Agree all we did was cry and yell at each other. It's definitely not our fault. And we're here because I don't want them going around telling everyone about our personal lives. You know what they say 'don't trust a hoe' or in this case a 'player'. They were laughing at my choice of words.
Just as we expected, the Volvo stopped at a huge white mansion. Although, not as big as our house. It was like from a fairytale.
"Wow. They weren't joking around when they told us their parents were wealthy." Alice said in an obvious tone.
We saw the three of them slam the doors of their Volvo and enter their home with beer bottles in their hands. They stumbled a lot doubt they were drunk. Shocker !
We contemplated weather or not to go in or not.
"Oh. Come on. We drove all the way out here, we might was well." Alice said shrugging.
"Let's go already !" I said growing impatient.
We walked up onto the wide porch and I drew in a deep breath and knocked. No one answered. I knocked again. No one. Again. No one.
"Let's just go right in. Maybe your supposed to go right in." Alice said smiling.
I relaxed a little and opened the door. I saw lights upstairs and nodded to my sisters. We interlocked our hands and walked up the long and narrow staircase.
I only saw one light on and we slowly stood in front of the midnight blue door. Now this person has good taste.
I knocked once and Edward opened the door only in a pair of black basketball shorts and a bottle of tequila.
"Hey sexy." He replied groggily.
"Edward who is it?" Jasper asked form inside the room. Apparently, they were having a guys night. The were watching Live free or die hard. Ugh. I hate anything loud.
"Um. The Hales" He replied with a grin towards me.
Emmett and Jasper stood up or should I say stumbled? They were grinning like fools.
"Come in girls." Emmett said while eyeing Rosalie like she was a piece of meat.
Realizing, I was only wearing mini silk shorts and a tank top that barely covered me, I felt weird as Edward eyed me up and down, never missing a spot.
I felt self-conscious and I walked into the humongous bedroom. I kneeled down in front of the huge plasma screen that took up most of the north wall.
Edward paused the movie and my sisters and I glanced at each other nervously. I nodded and I sat by Edward in the corner while Rosalie sat by Emmett and Alice was by Jasper.
"So where's your ring?" Edward asked coldly.
I flinched but got angry. "I don't know you tell me!"
He glared at me but I wasn't shocked. " So why are you here?" He asked.
"I wanted to ask you why you were listening before and how much you heard."
"Well we were talking until we heard you screams and cries. Then we walked in on you guys … discussing. I heard everything from Alice's story to the part where you all yanked your jewelry off and threw it." Edward flinched.
"So you heard abut me an-" I was cut off by him
"Yeah I heard about you and Adam!" He sneered the name and I flinched.
"Oh!" I started sobbing.
"Bella !! Why the hell are you crying again?" Edward practically yelled.
"Why? Why !!! Because I was cheated on!" I shouted back. What a stupid question to ask.
"SO?" he pressed.
"SO! Are you serious ! Of course you've never been cheated on. You're the one who cheats!. I shouted.
" This is not about me, this is about why you are so desperate to let go of your past." He replied like it was no bid deal.
I scoffed. "I lost my virginity to him and the next day.. He left me there standing and crying." I cried.
"Bella you could have any guy you wanted so why the fuck are you wasting you time thinking about him." Edward had a point but I just couldn't..
"Because Edward, I know I could, but I'm not like you. I don't screw other people for the fun of it. I wanted it to be for the one I love, but I was wrong ! I was completely blind." I whispered to him.
"Blind?" he asked his voice in a whisper. When will it get through to him?
"Yeah. You know the saying, You turn blind in love" I told him.
"In love? You were in love with him? Even after everything that had fucking happened?" He asked me, his voice deadly and murderous.
"I knew you wouldn't understand. I can't bring myself to forget him and everything we ever had. It was so real, and I felt so happy when I was with him. And now without him, I feel blank and dead." I explained, hoping he would catch on.
"Oh. I don't think I've ever been in love Bella." I laughed.
"Of course you weren't. Well when you find someone special, you'll just know it." I dazed off in my dream when I first met Adam.
I looked into space and I unintentionally pt my hand into the pocket of my robe and pulled out the ring.
Edward snatched the ring swiftly out of my hands and his jaw clenched as he read the tiny engraving Adam showed me. He tried to read it but it was in font size 5.
"It says, Before you Bella, my life was like a moonless night, very dark, but there were stars-points of light and reason… And you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly, everything was on fire: there was brilliancy everywhere, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went blank. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light.
I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything." I quieted down because I could feel the tears forming and I let them fall freely.
I was crying like crazy and I missed him a lot. I loved him and he let me down.
I felt Edward tense under me and I realized I was crying on his shoulder.
"Sorry. My bad. I get carried away easily." I apologized.
I looked at my sisters and they were crying too. I loved them so much.
"Bella, how do you know you're in love?" He surprised by the question, but I answered anyways.
" When you're in love, you feel like no there feeling. You feel like its just you and him and nothing else matters in the world. You feel happy and smile all the time. You think about him all the time. You smile when you see him. You laugh when he laughs. Nothing else matters as long as he's with you." I replied with a smile on my face trying to recall all the good times we had.
"Wait! Is it Adam Rodriquez ?" I gasped and I turned the ring around.
He read out loud," Mr. And Mrs. Rodriquez." He gasped and I stated,
"You know him."
"Know him! I hate him ! He's a jerk and he always used to brag about his girlfriend some girl named Isabella." I gasped and I pointed to myself while crying.
"My real name is Isabella." I stated and he clenched his fists.
"Hmm.I didn't know that." He clenched his jaw and fists tighter.
"Are you like mad at me or something?" I asked confused.
"No, but I am mad he cheated on you and that you can't get over him." He spoke glumly.
"Why are you mad? You have no right to be mad! There's no reason for you to be upset."
"Why and I mad ? Why !! Because this is ridiculous ! You're crying when you could be having fun." He shouted.
After I quieted down, he asked my something so shocking I would laugh.
" So when did you get engaged?!" He asked me, his voice filled with anger and panicky.
"WHAT !!??!! I am not engaged. " I started to laugh and he looked at me with horror struck eyes.
"Then what about the ring?" He asked eagerly.
"Adam gave it to me when we were dating. It was a promise ring. It was to show that I would marry him someday." I told him and he nodded slowly.
"Why did you keep it on this whole time?" He asked me with concern.
"I don't know" I shrugged. "I felt weird without it"
"You know what Bella?" he asked me suddenly
"What?" I asked him curiously.
"I'm glad we're friends and we're not fighting anymore." He admitted shyly.
"Me too. And you know what?" I asked silently.
"What?" he pulled his arm around my shoulder and it brought memories of Adam, which I wasn't ready for just yet.
"I like this Edward way better than the playboy Edward."
"Really?!" He asked in surprise
"Yeah a whole lot better." I said and in surprise, he kissed my cheek lightly and I smiled.
"Don't tell anybody !!" he fake glared and I could see the crooked smile spreading across his face.
"No problem." I said and Jasper un paused the movie. It began and lots of gunshots were being shot so I was covering my eyes by shoving my face into Emmett's shoulder who chucked and out his arm around me.
I looked from the corner of my eye to see Edward glaring at Emmett and Emmett shrugging. Hmm?? What was that about?
An hour passed and I was completely out cold. I was so freaking tired. I was leaning on someone's shoulder.
My dream was about Emmett trying to steal my cookies.
"Argh ! Emmett leave me alone !! Leave me and my cookies alone !!"
"NOoo !! I want my cookies !! I m hungry !!
"Stop it !! You'll regret it !" I yelled.
"Ohh I m so scared.!! " he faked mocked.
"Muahaahaha" I laughed evilly.
"Um Bella?"
"Ha try and catch me now" I wailed
I was pulled out of my dream by chuckling. Ugh. Not Again. Let's have some fun with this.
"Bella? Bells?!!" Alice shrieked.
"Belly-wellie!!" Rosalie screamed shaking me.
I fought so hard to not to smile and it was successful.
They were all panicking because I stopped talking and I wouldn't move.
Every time someone checked if I was breathing, I would hold my breath.
I knew someone shouting directions and I noticed it was Alice, of course.
I felt someone unbutton my top and I immediately sat up and everyone sighed in relief as I started laughing like a maniac.
Everyone was glaring at me and I made a run for it. I ran towards the stairs to the kitchen.
I felt two warm arms wrap around me and thought it was Jasper.
"Very funny Jazz." I said, but the hands remained there.
"Should I feel upset that you don't know my hands wrapped around your waist." It wasn't Jasper it was a musical voice, Edward Cullen.
He turned me around and looked me straight in the eye.
"Don't you ever do that again Bella. You scared the shit out of me!" He yelled with anger and pain. Okay. This is weird and very uncomfortable.
" Err-r okay?" I said, but it sounded more like a question. He started to chuckle and we started our way back upstairs, but saw four figures smirking and glaring at me.
"Bella !! You scared me!" Alice and Rosalie screamed in unison.
"Sorry guys, but it was funny." I confessed while smiling slightly.
"Emmett don't eat my cookies !! Noooo!" Jasper mocked me.
"Very funny. It's not my fault my dreams are random."
"You know.. There are cookies in the pantry downstairs." Edward eyed us carefully and in that split second we dashed downstairs, while making the others laugh behind.
"Emmett. Noooo!" I begged. No one takes my cookies.
"Ohh. Emmett If I was you I would be very afraid. Bella gets awesome revenge. Once in eight grade, I ate Bella's Popsicle and let's just say I needed a new car." Alice said in a tone that was filled with excitement.
"Yes. Emmett. Be. Very. Afraid." I said in a menacing voice. I turned back and saw my sisters laughing and the guys had terrified expressions on their faces. I actually saw Jasper gulp really loudly which caused me to laugh really hard.
"Bella's not just another pretty face." Rosalie said in an obvious tone.
The girls and I ran up the stairs to the bedroom and we heard the guys behind us mumbling some stuff about school.
"OH CRAP ! SCHOOL !" I yelled out loud so everyone could hear me.
"Shit. I forgot we accidentally fell asleep. It's already 7:45 and we can't get ready in fifteen fucking minutes !!: Alice screeched.
"How long do you take to get ready?" Edward asked me in curiosity.
"Three hours or four hours tops." I replied like it was no big deal.
"Damn ! You girls take that long to get ready?" Emmett screeched.
"Yes. Is there a problem?" Rosalie asked menacingly.
Jasper gulped again loudly and he says, " No. Not at all"
"Good. Well what now?" I asked.
"Um. Well you could either be late and go get dressed at your house or you can borrow our clothes and be on time." Edward offered never talking taking his eyes off of me.
"What about make-up?" I asked the guys.
"Well you could use our mom's makeup. She has everything you'll need." Emmett said and we were shocked.
"Wow. Your mom must be cool." I stated and they all nodded.
"Bella, follow me. Rosalie go with Emmett. And Alice go with Jasper." Edward said while beaming at me.
I willingly followed him into his bedroom. He skipped to the big walk in closet and went all the way into the back and pulled out blue and white basketball shorts with a tight tee shirt that says, "Kiss Me, I'm Perfect."
"Nice. Thanks." I said and took the clothes and went to go change in the bathroom.
I washed my make up off and moisturized my face. I dabbed my face, and changed my clothes. The shorts were a bit big so had to tie them really tightly and the t-shirt fit perfectly. You could see all my curves and it made my boobs pop out. Perfect.
I walked out and saw my sisters fixing their make up. I saw their clothes and I laughed.
"What's so funny?" I looked down and they followed my gaze.
Alice was wearing black and white basketball shorts with a white shirt that said "Bite Me" and Rosalie was wearing red and white shorts with a shirt that said, "Kiss me I'm sexy"
We stared at each other for about 5 seconds and started laughing on the floor.
We went back to our makeup and we only had 10 minutes left. Alice did Smokey eyes on me and Rosalie did my let the loose curls down.
"Wow, we even look hot in guys clothes." Rosalie confided.
"Alright we only have 4 minutes and we have to go." Alice stated checking the clock.
I made my way downstairs, and saw the guys in the living room waiting for us.
They were playing some Grand Theft Auto game, and I cleared my throat . Edward turned my way and his jaw dropped on the floor. He never look his eyes off my face and his eyes were wide. 'Loser' flashed across his side of the screen. I giggled and he looked down and smiled.
"Man! What's wro-" Emmett started but shut up when he saw me.
"Holy Shit Bella !! You look hot as hell in Eddie's clothes." Emmett said.
"Hot Damn Bella !"Jasper shrieked. I giggled and my sisters made their way downstairs.
"Alright ! Let's go before we're late." I said trying to get the guys form staring at me.
"Err-r. Yeah" Edward spoke shakily. He shook his head a few times.
"Little Eddie is trying to get skimpy images of Bella out of his mind!" Emmett yelled.
I blushed and I looked at Edward who was smiling and looking away form me.
Operation Cullen is still in action !
