Chapter Twenty : Bet
EPOV ( before Jacob left)
Jacob knew where I was when I skip my P.E class. At my mom's.
He knocked on the glass doors before sitting beside me. He was holding two cans of sodas—one for me and one for him.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I should be the one to ask you that." I answered.
He chuckled, "I need a favor."
"Favor?" what if he asks me to stay away from Bella?
He nodded, "About Bella."
I'm right, "I—" I was supposed to answer 'I won't', but he stopped me.
"If she let me leave, please take care of her."
I was stunned. Leave? "Where are you going?"
He inhaled deeply, "Tanya made me choose between her and Bella."
"And you chose her?"
He shook his head, "Not yet. But I know Bella will."
"Huh?"
"She will let me go... I know she would."
"But you haven't asked her yet—"
"Just promise me you will."
I sighed, "That's hard—"he glared at me and I smiled, "—I'll try."
"Don't try, promise it."
"I promise I'll try,"
He laughed then raised his can up. I touched my can down on him. I suddenly felt guilty about hating Jacob because in the end he never thought of me as a rival but his best friend. He trusted me with Bella, and I'll keep my promise. From now on, I'll take care of her.
When my class ended, I was the one responsible of Jacob's flight. I booked him immediately on our private airline. Besides, the staffs know him.
I quickly kicked my bike to life and hurried to the airport... for her. I can't stop my heart's reaction when I saw Jacob kissing her. I planned to runaway but when she left sobbing I stopped my self to. She needs me.
"Hop in," I said as soon as I stopped in front of her.
She quickly wiped the evidence and hid her face from me and started running away.
"Bella!" I called, "Why do she always run when she's crying? " I muttered under my breath before running after her.
When I was close to her I quickly grabbed her hugging her tightly against me.
"Let me go." She sobbed.
"I won't."
As much as she struggled in my arms, she didn't escape me-she can't escape me. After some time she gave up and continued sobbing.
BPOV
Again, I've been weak in front of Cullen. So weak that I'd give in, in going with him... and it all happened with just one hug.
"Why are you crying?" he asked when he returned from getting drinks and food for me.
"How did you know where to find me?" I asked back.
"I asked first." He said.
I sighed, "Nothing. Now, answer me."
He pouted his lips at first while he sat down beside me on the edge of the cliff before answering me, "I've got built in GPA." I cringed. No one will ever confess.
He laughed, "You look so cute by the way when you cry."
I lifted my fist to punch him but he stopped me, "You've beaten me so many times now! It really hurts, you know?"
I backed away my fists and continued staring down, feeling so sad without my best friend.
"Don't feel too bad about what you've done... it's your decision after all."
I scoffed; I thought you were there to comfort me?
"Thanks. That's really comforting!" I said sarcastically.
He laughed, "Sorry. I don't want to be more melodramatic... I hate seeing you cry."
Even though my heart flopped I punched him, "I thought you said I was cute."
He smiled a heartfelt smile, "You really believed you're cute? "
I glared at him but he was still smiling. God, I hate him!
"Stop smiling." I said.
"Why? Does it make you... weak?"
"I said stop."
He rubbed his index finger under his chin, "Sorry. I can't. Anyway, for you." He gave me a brown lunch bag with the long-stemmed rose.
"I won't accept the flower Cullen. But thanks for this." I opened the brown bag and found a bottle of juice and sandwiches.
"Sure."
Before I took a bite I asked, "Are these free?"
He laughed, "Yeah. They are."
I shrugged before biting, "Are you serious?" I quietly asked.
"About what?"
"About... that... love thing?"
He snickered. I was relieved by it. He wasn't!
"What if I am?"
My heart flopped again, "Be serious!"
He laughed, "Don't worry. I'm not."
"Thanks!" I breathed. He can't imagine how grateful I am!
"But what if I... was? Will you?"
I examined his face first if he was serious... there was no hint of humor in his face so I answered him truthfully.
"In truth... I won't." I said.
"Why not?"
"I don't know. I'll just not."
He pursed his lips, "Someday you will."
I laughed, "Whatever."
"You're finally laughing! Good sign."
I sighed, "I've made the right decision... he really belongs to someone else."
"Of course he does, because you belong to me."
My jaw dropped as I stared at him. He really should stop saying words like that... words that will make me fall in love with him.
EPOV
"Are you serious about Bella?" Emmett asked after my turn in pool.
"What do you mean?" I asked. Of course I know what he means.
He sighed, "About her."
I rolled my eyes, "Of course not."
"I thought you were!"
"Why?"
He smiled, "I thought you're finally in love."
I scoffed, "Of course not!"
"We were betting—Jasper and me—if you're really into Bella."
"How much?" I asked.
"Jasper!" Emmett called. Jasper rise up from the couch and run beside him.
"What is this meeting all about?"
"Bet," I answered.
"Ooooh, I'm in."
Gamblers, "Okay, I bet against the two of you. About me getting really in love with Bella."
"Done. I bet for my new car." Jasper said.
"I bet for my damn motorcycle."
"Sure. I bet for my—"
"We don't need your freakin' mansion anymore."
I frowned, "What do you want me to bet then?"
"We want you to—" before the speak the looked at each other first, "—Wear something that reminds us of Alice."
"All?"
"No... Just pink stuffs like: pink shirt, pink jeans pink shoes and a pink fluffy headband."
"All day?"
They nodded, "All day."
"Fine with me if, you two will wear those too."
"Admit it eddie boy, this is the only bet you'll lose."
"Let's see..." I said with slight confidence... good thing I'm so good at concealing the true tone. Actually I was worried. It's not love okay? It's just a crush! I shouted in my head. Great... I feel like a fourteen year old.
*Emmett*
I pulled Jasper when Edward went back to his room.
"What will we do?" I panicked. We never win against Edward! Since when? Since ever!
"Calm down!" Jasper said.
"I can't give away my motorcycle! It was from Alice! She'll kill me if she knew that I bet it against him! and I won't wear those!"
"I said calm down, Em!" Jasper hissed.
"How could you stay calm?" I demanded.
"Easy. Alice kept babbling about Rosalie, Her and Bella's trip tomorrow, right?"
"Gosh, I forgot to tell Bella!" I was about to pick out my phone from my pocket when he slapped my hand.
"Ow!"
"Listen to me first!"
Why is everybody mad at me? I cried in my head.
"Go ahead." I whispered.
He sighed, "We should tell them that they should go to a shopping trip instead. In that way they could shop for Bella... or better yet... a makeover."
"Huh?" I asked. Nothing made sense, really.
He sharply sighed, "Edward don't like Bella because she's plain! Even though she's really cute, Edward prefers hot and sexy. He can't see her sexy side if she looks too simple!"
It took a moment for that statement to register... "Oh that's a great plan!"
"Thanks!" he said sarcastically.
I should really call Rosy for my littlest favor. Jasper was watching me as I sweating over the phone. Rosalie is really that sadistic.
"Rosalie pick up, pick up. Rosalie!" I shouted as the other line continued ringing. I really should scream Rosalie's name because every time I did that, she answers.
"Don't shout at me McCartey!" she shouted back that Jasper heard her.
'Ow' I mouthed putting the phone back on my ears, "Hey... so you see... I called because I miss you—"
"Don't mess with me McCartey. What do you want?"
Great, "You know about Bella right?"
"So?"
"Here's the thing. We have—me and Jasper—have some betting against her and Edward—" she cut me again.
"Could you go straight to the point?"
"We need you to makeover her!"
"That's easy. Call her right now."
"Not now! Tomorrow-!" she hang up. Why does everybody do that to me?
There's no need for Jasper to know what she said—he heard her. Edward came in to the room as me and Jasper scampered to go to Bella's house.
"Where are you two going?" we heard Edward said as we pass past him.
We nearly—as in nearly broke Bella's door.
"Bella open up! Please!" I rapped the door and... It broke.
Bella came down the stairs her hair ruffled wearing a white tank top and pink jammies. Her mouth formed a huge "O".
Jasper and I didn't risk another moment and kneeled in front of Bella.
"Bella we are to ask you a very, very, very, very little favor."
She rubbed her eyes, "What?"
"We need a favor."
She hesitated to listen to us first but she groaned then said 'Let's hear it out."
We stood up, "You see...—" I started but Jasper stopped me.
"You know that as a group we like throwing bets. And again we bet against Edward."
"What do I have to about it?"
"It's about you two... in love."
"In love?"
"I know it sound ridiculous so please help us out!"
"What's the risk?"
"Nothing for you but for us is our lives." Jasper said.
"Your lives?"
"It's not literally killing but it has the same—same thing to do with it."
She groaned, "Fine I'll help you two tomorrow."
"Let's not wait for tomorrow!" I said, "I already called Rosalie for help—"
"What kind of help?" she asked.
"A makeover."
"A makeover? No way! That's out of—!"
We pulled her out but immediately but gently.
"My door!" she screamed.
"Don't worry. We'll deal with it later!" I said as we placed her at the backseat of Jasper's Ferrari, slid upfront and drove to Port Angeles's mall.
With Bella as our weapon... we're sure that we can win against him.
