Quick Review: Bella spiked Edward's drink to get him intoxicated enough to sleep with her to prove her theory that he's just sticking to homosexuality because it's all he knows and it's how people will always view him. Bella truly believes she's the spoke in his wheel and that in defiance of all logic and nature the two of them were somehow meant to be together--that's how strong her feelings for him are. Of course, her attempts go terribly wrong and Edward slips into an unconscious state. The doctors perform tests to see what exactly lead to this situation and they discover the seditive traces found in the NYquil and automatically suspect foul play by the rival football team. Bella's relieved to be off the hook but now the blame is shifting all onto Jacob, who only hours after the game threw homophobic slurs and went off in a jealous rage on Edward in front of dozens of witnesses. Will Bella do the right thing and confess to her horrible deed or will she let Jacob deal with it in pay back for the pain he's caused Edward.

JANUARY

(PART ELEVEN)

As expected the daylight came and I was still on the couch. I didn't know the exact time I had fallen asleep but I smelled coffee and heard sounds coming from the kitchen. I yawned and stretched looking at the cable box to see the time it was a quarter past 11. I walked over groggily to the kitchen where I saw the same officers as yesterday conversing with Charlie candidly holding cups of coffee.

"Morning..." I said seemingly appearing from nowhere

"Bells, this is officers Sullivan and Franklin from the station," Charlie said

"Yeah, I saw them last night at the hospital." I said softly making a small smile

"Nice to see you again hon," Officer Sullivan said waving

I smiled curtly and went to the refridgerator to get some grape juice.

"Dad where's the grape juice?" I asked pulling my head out from the ridge

"Check the pantry Bells." Charlie said and reentered the conversation he was having with the officers. I went to the pnatry and opened it and stepped it looking for the big jug of grape juice.

"Yeah, so you guys are plenty welcomed to come over for dinner--I have some fresh fish in the freezer and Bella can whip up some sides; we'd love it" I heard Charlie said

"That would be great but the Cullen kid is coming out of the hopsital tonight and we're gonna have to monitor their house just to see if any possible suspects go there." officer Franklin said

"Well, ya know what why not invite them too that way you can stil do your job and have a big meal whiles doing it." Charlie said sounding as friendly and opened as I had ever heard him be.

I came out the pantry not really knowing if I heard him correctly until he addressed me

"Bells, how would you like it if the Cullens and Officers Franklin and Sullivan come over for dinner?" Charlie asked

"...Sure...that would be nice." I said trying to sound as pleasant as possible. In my mind I wanted to scream, why was it the only time my dad wanted to invite some of his police chums over the only time our house was the scene of the crime, and I the sole purpertraitor. I had an English paper to finish and a crime scene to cover up oh, and now guests to cook and entertain for...why me.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*

I tried to squeeze in some homework time a few hours later while Charlie was down stairs frying up batches of fish. I was in my now meticuously cleaned and scrubbed room typing on my laptop. I disposed the bottle of wine and nyquil in the garbage that had to be put out and it was resting all the way at the bottom wrapped in three small plastic bags and laced with extra garbage to further conceal it. I kinda gigled to myself because of how seemingly skilled I was at masking crime scenes. But then I thought about Jacob and the hell was to be going through the moment officers found more evidence to connect him. As I typed I knew dozens of Forks police with the exception of my dad, who wanted nothing to do with the case, were scanning through the survaillance cameras at the game. Testing, the kegs of gatorade for any tainting which to me didn't make any sense because then other players would've gotten sick as well. But by far the most damning thing to Jacob would prove to be his public outburst at the party. He surely sealed his fate with that...I thought as I rubbed my head taking a small break from my furious typing when I looked down and saw Edward's varsity jacket and shirt I threw up on a chair while cleaning. THen it stuck me, I brought Edward to the hospital completely shirtless. I told the officers Edward slipped into unconsciousness the second I brought him through my house door....I had to think of some excuse I could pass that would make up for the fact he was shirtless, if they even asked. I couldn't believe I let a detail like that escape my mind. I walked over to Edward's stuff and grabbed them in my hand then stuffed them ina little bag and went down the stairs. I peeked in the kitchen enclave and saw Charlie knee deep into his cooking process and well distracted as I went for the door and outside. I went to my car and flung the door open and chucked his clothes into the back seat. I figured I'd make it look like I took his clothes off to perform CPR in the back seat. I closed the door, locked it and went back inside.

"Bells is that you?" Charlie asked turning around

"Yep." I said plainly

"Oh, were you outside?" He asked

"Yeah, I had to get something from my car to finish my English paper." I said now noticing I was completely empty handed

"Ohhh...what did you get?" Charlie asked perplexed

"Oh, I wanted my ummm, 'Othello' book but I must've misplaced it somewhere." I said casually and headed back up the stairs.

"Oh, Bells make sure you call your mom back she called yesterday after the game when you were with your friends." Charlie said

"Ok dad." I replied and walked back into my room and saw Jacob sitting on my bed dripping wet in sweat and looking like he hadn't slept the entire night.

Short chappy I know but I'll be back with a really long one wrapping up the month tomorrow.
