Discussions

"Can't it wait till later?" I asked. He sighed and looked at the ground.

"does it really have to wait?"

"We're watching a movie! That means its time for you to leave!" Alice said, well more yelled as she walked up behind me.

"But-"

"Nope, its movie time, so you can either come inside and shut up till the movie is over, or you can go home and I can call you when the movie's over" she said.

He sighed and turned to leave, Alice went back to her movie, I watched as he went back to his house, then went back to the living room. I really didn't care about the movie, I'd already seen it and it was just one of those movies that you can't watch more than once. I grabbed a book that I had laying around and started to read it, it was one that I started but never finished.

"Ok, seriously Bella, I get my brother to leave so we can watch the movie and you pick up a book?" she said book with disgust.

"I've already seen this" she just stared at me like I was stupid, then after a few seconds sighed,

"Fine, we'll do something else. Let's talk, what should we do this weekend?" she asked shutting off the TV. I sat back and thought, if it were me, id chose to lie around the house and do nothing, but I know that Alice and rose would have no part in that idea. So what's something that we could do that we all like? Then it hit me,

"Hey, you think your mom would take us up to Seattle this weekend, it's been a while since we last went." Alice's eyes light up. That was something we'd been doing for a while, the Cullen's own a 2 bedroom apartment in Seattle and Esme used to take me Alice and rose and we'd go stay there for the weekend. While we were there we'd see movies, do some shopping, just random stuff. It was always fun, we used to go every other weekend, but its been about 2 months now since we last went.

"Yea, probably, I can't believe I didn't think of that, its been forever, we need to go!" she squealed.

We spent the next few hours talking about anything that came to mind. Before we knew it, it was 8 already. Alice got up to go home, I sat down on the porch swing, it was sprinkling. I liked sitting outside when it rained, but not when it stormed. I saw a line of light stretch across the swing beside me, and then a few seconds, Emmett stepped outside.

"Hey Bell, what you doing?" he asked sitting beside me. I shrugged, and whispered nothing. He frowned, "ok fine, just don't fall asleep out here, last time you did, dad made me carry you inside." he laughed. I smiled at him; he was the best brother ever.

A few minutes later, I saw the door of the Cullen house open and a figure step outside and run across the grass towards me. I smiled as he stepped up onto the porch out of the rain.

"Hey Edward."

"Can we talk now, or is someone else going to stop that?" he laughed.

"No, I think we're good."

"Alright look, I'm really sorry about what happened today in school, and the pictures and everything, I swear if I could go back in time and make it where they never took the pictures, believe me I would." he said.

"It's ok Edward, the pictures don't really bother me anymore, it's just the rumors. Did you hear what they were saying about us? My dad is gonna kill me, and you once he hears them." I sighed, leaning on him, not caring if he was soaked from the rain.

"I know, where do they come up with this stuff?" he laughed. I shrugged. "Well, if all else fails, we could go along with some of their rumors, make them think they're real." I sat up and looked at him like he was crazy, "Hey, I'm just saying, instead of trying to say they aren't true, say they are. I bet it would shock them all."

"Have you forgotten what'll happen when our parents hear them? Um hello, we'll both be buried in the backyard. Especially if we say that what people are saying is true."

"Calm down Bella. Its simple, we'll tell them before they hear the rumors, we'll simply say that stuff has been going around about us, but none of it is true, and if it wasn't we'd tell them." he said.

"Are you serious, that'll never work"

"Yes it will, my parents trust me to tell the truth, and doesn't Charlie trust you?"

"Yes, but that's not my point."

"Bella just hush and say you're gonna go with it" he said.

"Fine, but if something goes wrong, I'm blaming it all on you." he smiled.

"Good. So now that we've gone over what I wanted to talk about, how was your movie?"

"Oh we didn't watch it; Alice shut it off like right after your left." I laughed. "But we talked for a while to"

We sat on the porch talking for another half hour before he headed back to his house; I went inside and up to the bathroom. After a quick shower, I went downstairs and found dad and Emmett talking.

"Hey dad, can I talk to you?" I asked from the doorway. I was nervous, I don't know how he's gonna take this, I went and sat on the couch. "Um, so there's some rumors and stuff going around about me, and I just wanted to make sure you knew that they aren't true and that if they were I'd tell you before you heard it from someone else…" I bit my lip, looking up at him. He nodded

"I understand Bella, but, would these rumors have anything to do with this picture?" he held up one of the pictures that had been covering the schools wall.

"Um… yea, um how'd you get that?"

"That's not important right now, I want you to explain this picture to me" he set it down on the coffee table.

"Well, it was Friday, and we decided to play truth or dare. That was the dare, I didn't even know they were gonna take the picture, but they did. That's all that happened." I explained. He nodded.

"Alright, I'm gonna believe you, unless you give me a reason that I shouldn't. But from now on, I don't want any truth or dare being played in my house" he said. I nodded and went upstairs to my room.

I texted Edward saying I explained everything to Charlie, then laid down in bed, he answered a few seconds later saying he did to. Well then, looks like tomorrow will be fun I thought as I drifted off to sleep.

Tuesday morning was awful. I woke up late and had to rush out the door. School was a different story. Eyes followed me as I walked to my first period. But I remembered mine and Edward's conversation from last night, that we were gonna go along with some of the rumors, so I ignored them and sat in my seat.

About halfway through class, I remembered something, we hadn't discussed which rumors we were gonna say were true.

Review,

Until later,
