You know you love me. Review.
BPOV
Edward had promised that he would wait for me out in the Volvo. I still didn't understand what his letter about Jessica had meant. In league with Nick Newton…
Hoping that Charlie wouldn't be hearing about this anytime soon, I walked into Ms. Marshall's classroom. Mike was already there. He kept his head down as I sat at an empty desk. Ms. Marshall was sitting at her desk marking essays.
"You know, Mike, I could tell your father about this new way of talking you've adapted. But since your brother here was once one of my favourite students, I guess I'll let it go for now," said Ms. Marshall, not looking up. I gulped and glanced at the door.
Nick Newton was standing there grinning at me. His bright pink shirt clashed with his rainbow coloured hair.
"Nick used to have the most interesting ideas in class," she continued, smiling up at Nick. I rolled my eyes. What a teacher's pet!
"Am I allowed to take my brother and girlfriend home now, Ms. Marshall?" asked Nick. GIRLFRIEND? There was no way that that would ever happen.
"Of course, Nick!" beamed Ms. Marshall. "But that's a very um… interesting girlfriend you've got there. You might want to take a look at this. I believe Bella to be cheating on you."
Nick walked over and read the note from before. The note that had gotten me into this stupid mess. I watched Nick's face turn bright red in anger. Before he could say anything, I got to my feet and walked out of the classroom.
"Ow! Help! My… my… OW! My leg! Help!"
I looked to my right. Jessica was lying on the ground clutching her right leg, a pained expression on her face. Her books were scattered all around her. I instantly rushed to her side.
"Jess? Are you okay?"
I felt arms pull me back. I was hoisted into the air, and thrown over someone's shoulder. I looked down at the back of their pink shirt. It was Nick!
"Let me…" I began, but was silenced by Nick's hand.
"Shh, Bella. Don't worry. It's all right. Edward's gone now," he soothed. I wanted to scream, I wanted to run, but Nick's firm grip on me wouldn't be easing anytime soon. And his hairy hand blocked my mouth.
He began to walk, Jessica hot on his heels. We walked out into the parking lot. I looked around for the Volvo, but the only car there was Nick's rusty red car. I felt tears forming in my eyes. Where was Edward?
I was thrown into the back of the car. Jessica duct taped my mouth and bound my hands and feet tightly. I heard them get into the front of the car. Nick started the engine, and roared off into the distance.
"You're safe now Bella. Edward is far, far away. I got Jessica to take your cell phone when you had your back turned. I sent an SMS to Edward, telling him that Ms. Marshall was keeping you in longer. I pretended to be you. I told him to go home, because Charlie was on his way. But it's okay, we'll soon be out of here," explained Nick.
"Where are we going?" asked Jessica's curious voice.
"La Push," replied Nick. "A boy called Jacob told me that the Cullen's hate going… URGH!"
A large popping noise sent the car skidding over to the side of the road.
"DAMN IT!" yelled Nick. "I knew I should have put some air in those godforsaken tires!"
"You should have put some more effort into your plans, Newton," said a familiar voice. The back door of the car opened, and I saw the godly figure of Edward.
"Drive!" squealed Jessica, slapping Nick across the face. "DRIVE!"
Edward hoisted me out of the car and gently pulled the duct tape off of my mouth.
"Edward…" I murmured, before he bent down and kissed me passionately. He pulled away gasping and smiled at me. He undid my legs and arms, and allowed me to stand next to him. I looked down at Nick's back tire. It looked as if it had been punctured somehow.
"I popped it," muttered Edward. I giggled and looked in at Jessica at Nick's horrified faces. Suddenly, Emmett appeared. He opened Jessica's door and put a towel to her face. Her head lolled to the side and she became still.
Nick gasped, turning his head away, knowing what was coming. But Emmett yanked his face into position. He pressed the towel to his face roughly. Nick's head lolled and he fell forward onto the steering wheel. A loud honk made me jump. Emmett moved his head and pulled out a black marker.
On Nick's head, in large letters, Emmett wrote man whore. On Jessica's head, in large letters, Emmett wrote transgender. I giggled.

The next morning, Edward and I drove past the big McDonald's billboard outside of the Port Angeles mall. Nick and Jessica were taped and tied to the centre of the billboard, squirming helplessly, just as I had in Nick's car. Nick was wearing only a pair of pink fairy underpants, showing off his hairy black chest. Jessica was in her Wiggles bra and underwear, showing off her hairy back.
I burst out laughing as Edward pulled up. We climbed out of the car and looked up at them, grinning.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, CULLEN!" yelled Nick. A group of teenage boys and a tall, slimming girl walked over and looked up at Nick and Jessica, grinning. They pulled out a carton of eggs, and began pelting them at Nick and Jessica.
"I don't get it!" the girl yelled up at Nick and Jessica. "Which one of you is the guy?"
The boys burst out laughing.
"Nice fairy underpants!" they yelled up at Nick. "They really clash with your hair!" A few of them wolf whistled teasingly.
Jessica screamed, squirming and kicking.
Quite a crowd was forming now. I saw Nick's grandmother make her way to the front of the crowd.
"Nicky! How DARE you embarrass me like this by wearing DIRTY UNDERWEAR IN PUBLIC!" she squealed, waving her handbag in the air. "I know they're you're favorites, but you have similar pink ones at home."
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Emmett tends to go a little overboard with these things," said Edward, frowning a little. "He doesn't know the meaning of inconspicuous."
"Are you kidding? This is hilarious!"
I turned to see Mike.
"Oh… um… hey, Mike," I greeted. He laughed.
"I hate my brother. I hate Jessica. Do what you like to them. Just send a few shots into the school paper and I'll be happy," he grinned. When he had vanished into the crowd, I turned to Edward.
"What did your note mean? The one about how Jessica was in league with Nick…?" I asked him.
"Jessica is getting desperate. With no one to sleep with, her life tends to get very dull. Nick told her that if he slept with her, then she had to help him kidnap you," explained Edward. I gasped.
"You knew about this?"
"I knew you wouldn't be in any real danger. Besides, that vile Newton had this coming for a long time."
I glanced over at Nick's grandmother, who was still yelling at Nick for wearing dirty underwear. Edward placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Charlie's on his way."
I knew that Nick would blame everything on Edward. He'd love to get him into trouble with Charlie. But I would tell Charlie just what Nick had been up to. I smiled. We were even. There was no way that Nick would tell Charlie what we did, because he knew that I would tell him about Nick trying to kidnap me. Jessica was in the same boat.
"Let's go," I grinned, walking over to the Volvo, hand-in-hand with Edward. I heard Nick screaming in the distance. He really had some major issues.
"Don't worry," Edward told me, "Nick Newton won't be annoying us for much longer."
I looked up at him curiously. I could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't giving anything away.
"Charlie is getting closer," he told me.
"I hope he brings a gun," I muttered, looking up at Nick in his fairy pants.

Is it wrong to laugh at your own writing? If it is, then you had better cuff me now. Still a few more chapters to go. Don't worry; I've got something EPIC up my sleeve. I just had a thought that they should make a really hilarious movie about people playing pranks on each other. I'm not sure if it's been done before, but if it has, then it must have been a bad movie, because I haven't heard of it. But, I mean, come ON! Who WOULDN'T watch a movie like that? It'd be so hilarious!
All of your reviews so far have been really great. It makes me feel better to know that people are enjoying my story. So thanks for that, guys. Don't give up on me yet, though. There's no WAY anyone can miss the last few chapters.
