Edward's POV:
"I'll kill him!" I snarled, while Emmett and Jasper restrained my arms. "I swear if I get my hands on him, I will make him regret ever messing with us!"
"Edward, calm down," Jasper said. "Murdering Mike Newton won't solve your problem, it will make it worse!"
"Yeah, besides, Alice went with Carlisle to explain what happened since Charlie won't let you near Bella and she's locked her bedroom window," Emmett reminded me. "Once Carlisle explains, Bella will understand."
"I know Bella will understand," I growled, "but the point is that for the past twelve hours she's been crying! He hurt her with those deceitful pictures and I'm not letting him get away with it."
"Don't get mad," Rosalie quipped, "get even. I did."
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Jasper perked up.
"Brokeback Mountain?" Emmett beamed. They slapped each other a high five.
"Don't do anything dangerous, boys," Esme warned.
"Don't worry," I joined in, fully comprehending their plan, "this won't be dangerous. I'll call Sebastian!"
I ran up to my bedroom and called the only guy I know who would be willing to participate in this plan. I looked at the time on my cell phone before dialing. I hope he can make it here from LA quickly.

Bella's POV:
"Oh, of course I'll help you with the plan," I replied to Edward and his brothers. "I'm just so glad this whole mess has been cleared up!"
"I'm just glad you believe me," Edward smiled.
"I'm sorry I ever doubted you," I grabbed his hand.
"Okay, you two, let's stop all the lovey dovey crap and get this plan in motion!" Emmett laughed.
I picked up Edward's cell phone, blocked the number and dialed Mike Newton. "Hello?" Mike answered cautiously.
"Mike!" I cried into the phone. "I'm so… so… upset. I… I… I can't even talk ab---out it." I whimpered a few more times for effect.
"Bella, what's wrong? Where are you?"
"I'm… home," I continued to whine. "It's… it's Edward… he cheated on me!"
"Oh, Bella, I'm so sorry!"
"Mike, I need you. Please. Can we go somewhere?"
"Anywhere, of course," he replied a little too anxiously. I gagged.
"Come and pick me up in thirty minutes."
"I'll be there, honey, just sit tight." Again, my vomit reflex kicked in when he called me "honey." I shut the phone and smiled up at Edward.
"Let's go," I hopped on his back and he ran me home faster than he could have in his Volvo. Plus, I didn't want Mike to see Edward's car, just in case the over zealous dweeb showed up early.
"Bella, are you sure you want to do this?" Edward asked, putting me down on my front porch.
"Yes," I assured him. "I have the sedative that I'm going to slip into his hot cocoa, don't worry, this'll be great."
"I'll be nearby the whole time, I promise." Edward pressed his cold lips to mine and it sent a wave of heat through me. "I love you."
"Me too," I kissed him back, then went inside to prepare quickly for my camping trip with Mike Newton.
