A/N: and the second chapter of the saga that is Mike's Stupidity is about to unfold! Huzzah!
Anyway, on that summary thing, I'm going to change the part with them finding out, but you'll see how in this chapter. No guarantees on length, I'm thinking about 2,000 words though, we'll see if my prediction is correct.
P.S.- hey guys, I'm going to start dedicating my chapters to the person who leaves me the most entertaining review!
This chapter is dedicated to:
Schmexybella and Julia Kearns !!
- The day of the party –
"Come on Bella, if I can't be there at least let me make my impression by doing your outfit and makeup!" Whined Alice.
"You know how much I hate makeovers, but if you feel that way then it's alrigh--" I began to answer Alice, but I was cut off by Edward.
"I do not want Bella to look that good around anyone but me, Alice." Edward said coldly, I assumed he had looked into Alice's mind to see the outfit he picked out for me.
"Prude…" Alice muttered under her breath. "Fine, I won't have her wear something quite so… revealing." She said before dragging me into her master-bedroom sized bathroom and got to work.
When Alice was done, I drew in a large breath so I would not gasp, I was not a pretty as I usually was when Alice did my makeup, but I did still look good. My hair was in gentle waves, with one long bang hanging in my face, the rest was in a messy bun. Alice had added minimal eye liner to my eyes, making them more almond-shaped. I wore a simple Hollister tee with a frayed blue jean mini-shirt (but not so mini Edward would disapprove) and some sensible flats.
When I walked out, Edward gasped slightly and was instantly by my side trailing butterfly kisses up my neck. "No one should be allowed to be as tempting as you Bella…" He began and I saw Alice slyly sneak out of the room to give us our privacy.
"Edward, are you sure you have to go hunting tonight? If you didn't I'd have an excuse to get out of this party, Mike has kind of been freaking me out lately." Edward stiffened at my words and I saw how dark his eyes were – or had become – since I had mentioned Mike. I suspected he had read something out of Mike's mind that he had not wanted to see.
Suddenly Alice was back at the door just in time for my human reflexes to see her eyes glaze over and suddenly Edward was by her side, catching her before she fell flat on his floor.
Edward's Point Of View –
(Sorry about the POV change, it'll make more sense this way, I promise)
I saw Alice go into one of her trances when she got her visions and left Bella's side to catch Alice before she could fall. Jasper would kill me if I did that. I delved into Alice's mind, and I did not like what I saw when the vision she was having entered my mind.
Bella was at Angela's party and there was Mike Newton by her side. She was standing, bored, by the punch bowl while Mike came dancing up to her. He tried for a while to flirt, but it was a fruitless attempt.
Suddenly I could see Newton getting impatient and he grabbed Bella's wrist. I saw her wince in pain and I knew I had let a growl escape my lips but I didn't care. NO ONE is allowed to harm my Bella.
She struggled futilely against his grasp on her wrist. It did not work and ever so slowly he began to pull her closer to him, her eyes were full of hatred and fear and anger. He started to kiss my Bella up her neck and then he slowly reached her mouth. She struggled and tried to get out of his grasp, but he only pulled his lips from hers before slapping her in the face and dragging her into one of the secluded rooms...
I let out another loud growl and I knew my eyes would be inky black by now. I turned to Alice, and her eyes were also black and she was growling, possibly louder than I had been before. Bella looked scared and the rest of our family came into the room, obviously worried about Alice's vision if it could arouse that kind of reaction from both of us.
I turned to Emmett and in a voice I was positive that Bella could not hear I said, "Emmett, you were the last one to go hunting and you went with Carlisle, I need you to go to the party with Bella. I need to know that she will be… safe."
My family did not need to know that a dick head at my school wanted to rape my girlfriend, nope. Alice would probably tell jasper, who would then get her to tell Carlisle and Esme, and I might have to tell Emmett to convince him, but it was a tender subject that would not be brought up unless it needed to br brought up. End. Of. Story.
Jasper gave Alice a questioning look, obviously feeling the waves of hate and anger radiating from my body.
Edward why the hell do I feel Jealousy…? Thought Jasper, he was concerned. Shit!
Damn empath. With his stupid feel-good attitude and all his worry about other people's problems. Oh who the hell am I kidding? I'm jealous of jasper and Alice, and Carlisle and Esme, and Emmett and Rosalie, and even vile Mike Newton, because he is able to do to Bella what I can't, well he won't do that, but he could.
I can't stand this anymore. I need to hunt, so I can get back all the faster.
I'll do it, but this if for Bella. You get to explain yourself later. Damn it. Emmett was getting smarter about the whole negotiating thing, but I don't have time right now.
I nodded to Emmett then said in a voice loud enough that my family and Bella could all hear, "Bella, Emmett is coming to the party with you, then you will return here and we will be back shortly, Alice will go call Charlie now then we will leave so we can get back sooner."
I saw Bella nod and her eyes flickered to my coal black ones. I quickly closed my eyes and tried to relax myself, I could feel Jasper helping me and once I opened my eyes I gave him a grateful look. My eyes did not go back to the topaz color my Bella loved, it was more like the color you would get if you mixed oil and vegetable oil because I needed to hunt, but I knew that Bella felt better now that my eyes were not the dark black shade.
I went over to her and she snuggled her small form into my chest and I kissed her softly on the hair while Emmett went to change and get Rosalie's car. I am surprised she is letting him use it, but she did say once 'I will never allow you to drive your goddamned jeep to a party. Two words. Social. Suicide.' Whatever.
I heard Emmett honk the horn all too soon and I quickly ran Bella down to the living room so she didn't trip on the stairs, I gave her a soft kiss before she departed.
Soon after my family and I went out to hunt. Alice went with Carlisle and Esme while Rosalie, Jasper and I went a different way. Soon after Rosalie said she wanted to hunt alone and ran off.
I started to chase a cougar when I felt Jasper's hand on my arm. I looked over at him, confusion in my eyes and he said, "Alice will not tell me what you saw, I felt the pure anger and hate radiating off of the two of you, you both wanted to kill someone and I want to know what is going on. I can help you." He tried to give me a small smile, but it failed and it looked more like he had a bad smell under his nose.
"Alright Jasper, I'll tell you." I began, then I began to tell him the whole story, by the time I had finished his eyes were as coal black as Alice's and mine were before, and he had blocked his mind from me. I was grateful; I did not want to see the invitingness of his thoughts of killing Newton would be.
Soon Jasper ran into the forest chasing after an 'elk' but I knew for a fact that I had the best sense of smell in the family and the scent of elk was in the OTHER direction. I think that Jasper is just trying to get over what I just told him.
I hope he is, but I have a strange feeling about this…
A/N: Good lord, I only have 8 more days of school. Thank you LORD. So, I'll get the next chapter out sometime this weekend.
Next chapter is the actual party.
Summary:
Emmet is like glued to Bella's side until he is overwhelmed with thirst. He leaves to feed and says he'll be back momentarily. He comes back to find Mike in the act. Jasper ties in. You figure out Jasper's part and I'll dedicate the next chapter to you (along with best review) and use your name in it! If not the best review gets the name in the story also!
