Chapter 5 ( Bella's prove)
We arrived at Jess's house about ten minutes after we hung up with her. She had a three story house, two floors and a basement. It was a light green and had flowers around the side. They had three cars, two motorcycle, and a Porsche. The Porsche was a sky blue and the motorcycles, one was black with red strips on the side and the other was purple with butterflies on it. Three guess who was whose.
"I guess Marissa really likes butterflies." Edward said and walked up to the front door and was about to knock when the front door opened and we were pulled inside.
"Oh thank god you're here, Bella you have to help me with Marissa, if I spend one more minute with her, I think I may murder her, will you help me?" Jess asked, giving me big sad puppy dog eyes.
"Okay, lets go get Marissa ready for her date." I said and walked up stairs with Jess.
"Oh and if Mike comes while were getting Marissa ready, Edward and he asks why you are here, just say that you and Bella came over to hang out." Jess said, still walking up the stairs.
We walked into a room that was purple with, yep butterflies and flowers. Marissa was wearing a powered blue dress with her hair down and in layers. She had on silver shoes and silver jewelry with a pale pink lip and silver eye shadow with black eye liner one. She turned away from the mirror and ran over to me and gave me a great big hug.
"Bella what are you doing here?" she asked me, looking suspiciously at her sister than back at me.
"Your sister invited me over to hang out, since your going on a date, she didn't want to be alone." I said, looking as innocently as I could.
"Okay I believe it….. for now. Bella what do you think, do I look okay?" she asked, turning back to the mirror. Jess rolled her eyes at her but than looked at me, waiting for the answer.
"Marissa, you look really great." I said and hugged her back.
"Bella, Jess, Marissa get down here, Mike's here" Edward yelled from down stairs.
"What's Edward doing here?" Marissa asked, looking at me and than at her sister, folding her arms across her chest.
"Well since Edward is Bella's boyfriend, and I invited Bella over so I could get to know each other better, I thought it would be a good idea to get to know Edward too, now come one, you don't want to keep Mike waiting." Jess said and pushed Marissa out of her room and pulled me along with her.
When we got down stairs, I went to go stand by Edward, who was looking fiercely at Mike, who was staring jaw dropped at Marissa. Finally, Jess walked over to him and closed him mouth and walked back over to where Marissa was standing. "Okay Mike, have her back at ten tonight, not a minute later, have a good night, oh and Mike," Jess walked over to where he was standing and whispered into his ear, and his smile vanished. "Okay have a good time." Jess said and Marissa walked over to where Jess was standing, gave her a hug and walked out the door with Mike. We heard a car start and saw lights pull away from the house and onto the road.
"Okay, you guys can go and make sure that they see you. Thanks I owe you big time." Jess said as she walked us to the door.
"No problem Jess, this is what friends do." I said as I pulled her into a hug.
"Yes this is what friends do, and you have to be back before ten, and if I'm not watching T.V, I'm down in the basement….. working out." She said as she walked out in to the rain without a jacket, shivering from the rain and the cold night air.
"Jess we will and you need to go inside before you catch a cold, here." Edward said and pulled out a jacket from the back of the car and handed it to Jess.
"No, thanks though, I'll be fine, now go, you don't want to loss them." Jess said and walked back inside, but stopped right outside her door and sneezed and mouthed the words 'I'm fine, don't worry, just go' and walked into her house.
We drove about fifteen miles before they stopped at the edge of a park and got out. "Come one, we have to follow them." I said to Edward and started to follow them. Edward grabbed me and put me on his back and started to follow them, hiding in the shadows of the trees. They stopped and walked into a building. We walked in after them and saw that there was a table set for two, and a CD player, at the edge of the room. We found a dark corner and sat down. I could hear the conversation from where we were without asking Edward to tell me.
(Marissa's prove)
"So tell me about yourself." Mike asked me and took a sip of his drink.
"Well Jess is the only family that I have, your parents died and we came to live with your grandmother but she died a few days ago, and since we have no other family members, we're using your grandmother and your parents money to live in the house and as long as we go to school, no one needs to know that were living without an adult." I said, taking a sip of my water.
"And how are you and Jess related?" He asked me, looking right into my eyes. I hate when people ask me this question but it comes up a lot.
"Well me and my parents adopted her years ago. See I've always wanted an older sibling, a sister and my parents said that they would adopted. So we went to the orphanage and I saw Jess, sitting in a corner all by herself and for some reason I was dawned to her. So I walked over to where she was sitting, took her hand, walked back over to the lady who was talking to my parents and told her that I wanted Jess to be my big sister." I told him, looking away as I said it. "And she is the best, she wont let anyone pick on me or hurt me." I said, trying very hard not to cry.
"And what happened to Jess's parents?" He asked, taking my hand in his.
"Well we were told that her parents died in a fire and that none of her family wanted her." I said, feeling a tear fall down my face. Mike leaned over and wiped it away.
We didn't talk very much after that, till mike asked me if I wanted to dance? I nodded my head and he held out his hand. I took it and he lead my over to another part of the room and walked over to a CD player and pressed play. He walked back over to me and took my hand and started to spin me around. A lower song started to play and I wrapped my arms around Mike's neck and rested my head on his chest. I looked up at him and he looked down and he kissed me. we kissed like that for a while till my cell phone rang.
"Damn it," I muttered, "Sorry, Hello?" I said, a little peeved.
"Marissa get home now." Jess said.
"Why what's wrong?" I asked, looking back at Mike who had a worried expression on his face.
"Um there is a problem with the power and I need your help with it." Jess said, but with more feeling in the word power. Crap, demons. I thought.
"Are Edward and Bella gone?" I asked, hoping we didn't have to move again or explain anything to them.
"Yes they're gone, just get home fast." Jess said and than the line went dead.
"Mike, I have to get home, there's a problem and my sister needs my help." I said and started to head back outside. We got in the car and drove off. I hope my sister is okay. I thought.
