Chapter 8
Edward's POV
Okay so yelling at her wasn't a good idea.
Calling her names wasn't a good idea.
And saying that she was just a piece of ass to me definitely wasn't a good idea.
Great job Edward! No really you've done a wonderful job of getting Bella back.
I regretted those words the moment they came out of my mouth. I wish there was something I could do or say to prove that I didn't mean a single word. If I could just sit her down for 5 minutes and tell her everything. Then maybe she won't hate me for the rest of my life. But the chances of her even breathing the same air as me were slim to none. Maybe even less than slim.
I ran out of that house not looking back, and before I knew it I had driven all the way home. She just makes me so mad sometimes. How could she think I didn't love her? She thinks I manipulated her. I would love to read her mind so I can see what's going on in that pretty little head of hers.
My dad was at work and my mom was in Seattle this week. Jasper was out with friends. So I was home alone. That was worst than having a house full of people. I couldn't take the silence.
I hated myself for what I said to her. And I couldn't help but replay it over and over again in my head. I couldn't stand to be in this house. It felt like I was suffocating. I ran outside and just took a few deep breaths but it wasn't working. I was having a panic attack I think. My legs gave out from under me and I fell to the ground. I just lied there in the damp grass not wanting to move. I couldn't make myself care about anything going on around me. I just wanted to disappear. No I wanted to go back and explain myself.
I found the strength to sit up. I stayed there pulling my hair cursing at myself for being a dick. That's when I knew I had to make things right. I had to go back to her house. I had to take care of her. I had to make things better.
I stood up and walked back into the house. I grabbed my keys that I threw at the wall and made my way to my car when Emmett burst through the front door.
He was furious. And I knew that anger was meant for me and only me. He just looked at me for a long time. His fists were balled up at his sides, and he was breathing hard. I guess he was trying to control himself.
"I'm not going to hurt you. But I would like to know why my sister is alone in her room crying once again." Emmett said through clenched teeth. The not hurting me part seemed like a lie. It looked like any second he could jump at me. I had to choose my words carefully.
"I was being a dick." I said truthfully.
"What did you say to her?" he sounded really mad now.
"Nothing. She just freaked out that's all." I couldn't tell him the truth. He would kill me.
"Edward I'm your best friend. I think I can tell when you're not telling me something. Now I'm being very patient with you. What did you say?"
"I would rather we move outside when I tell you. I don't want to get blood on my mother's hard wood floor." I said.
We both walked out the back door. I made sure that he was a few feet away from me. Here goes nothing. Well not nothing. Here goes my life. My best friend was going to kill me. And I deserved it. For all the shit I put her through and myself for the past 2 years. I was finally getting what I deserved. I guess if I had to die this way, I'm glad it was by Emmett. He might take it easy on me.
Yea right. I wouldn't even go easy on me.
"I told Bella that I just kept her around for a piece of ass, and that she was easy and a few other things. But that was the worst." I said. I couldn't look at him in the eyes.
Emmett let out a breath. But it wasn't one of relief.
"I'll give you a 5 second head start. You can run away. But just know that you might be fast, but not fast enough." Emmett said cracking his knuckles and rolling his head around and losing up his shoulders.
"Just make sure to burry my body deep in the woods so I don't get eaten by wolves." I said.
"Dumb ass there is no wolves in Forks."
"Just in case there is just make sure they don't eat my corpse, or any other wild animal for that matter."
"I'm going to miss you man. Can I have your car?"
"Why do you want my car? You have a car."
"I know but your life insurance money will go to your parents. So I plan on selling your car for parts to make some extra cash this summer."
"Just make sure you sell it to someone who will appreciate it."
"Um Edward your time started 3 seconds ago. You have 2 seconds left." And with that I ran like hell into the woods. I was fast. But Emmett was too. I could hear him behind me before I got to the tree line.
I zig zaged all through the woods hopping to loss him. I was starting to get tired and out of breath. I looked behind me and saw Emmett nowhere in sight. Maybe I did lose him. Then I fell. I tripped on a tree truck and hit my head pretty hard against a rock. That caused a hug cut alone my forehead. I used my shirt to whip up the blood that was pouring out. My father always told us that head injuries always bleed faster and more than a usual cut so I wasn't too freaked out.
I got up and looked around. I hadn't taken the trail so I was in the middle of nowhere alone. Great. Well this is better than Emmett killing me. But I might die of starvation out here alone. Great.
I didn't hear anything that would give Emmett away if he was hiding somewhere just watching me. So I started walking back to my house. At least I was walking the way I think was too my house.
Do to my head bleeding some blood got into my eyes making me not able to see anything. That's when I fell once again and busted my lip open. I managed to beat myself up. I didn't need Emmett. When did I get so clumsy? I was a football player for crying out loud. I had great hand eye coronation.
About an hour later I saw my house come into view. I walked out on my lawn and was met with Emmett sitting in a car with a beer in his hand just waiting for me.
"Glad to see you made it out of there. I was getting pretty worried. Looks like my job is done. You clearly beat yourself up." Emmett said taking a sip of his beer.
"I fell." I said.
"Really now let me see." Emmett said getting up and walking toward me. He took a while inspecting my cut and busted lip.
"Damn I did a good job. But wait there's something missing." Emmett said putting his figure up to his chin thinking.
"What's that?" but before I could blink Emmett's fist connected with my eye. I fell to the ground and screamed out in pain.
"Don't you ever disrespect my sister like that again. And if I ever come home to her crying over something you said I WILL kill you. Got that?" Emmett yelled at me. I was still on the ground. I just nodded my head.
"Good now let's go see your dad about that nasty cut." Emmett said putting his hand out for me to take. I took it and he helped me up. My eye was throbbing and my head started to bleed again.
"What's that?" Emmett said pointing in back of me. I started to turn around when Emmett hit me once again but this time it was in the gut. I hunched over in pain and cursed Emmett out at the top of my lungs.
"Sorry dude I couldn't resist. Now this time I'm serious that cut is still bleeding. You might be the once with the brain damage once it's all said and done."
Emmett and I walked to his jeep and I got in still holding on to my stomach.
"Emmett?" I said.
"Yea?"
"Thanks."
"You're thanking me?"
"Yea I deserved that, and thanks for not killing me. But just to let you know I was going over there and apologize to her and tell her everything just when you showed up."
"Yea well just to let you know. This is your mess. And you're going to clean it up by the end of the summer."
"I know and I'll do everything in my power to make things better. But I don't think she will ever talk to me after this."
"Don't worry give her some time. I have a plan."
Emmett Swan had a plan. This can't go well.

My plan for revenge was going to be so bitter sweet. Sweet for me, but bitter for Edward. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees me.
I talked to Rose and Alice and they both agreed to help when I needed it, but they were on the fence if this was the right thing to do.
My plan was to make Edward fall in love with me all over again. Then right when I have him under my spell I was going to break his heart just like he broke mine. I was going to do whatever it took to win him over.
I was going to be flirty. He always loved to flirt with me before we dated.
I was going to wear tight clothing when I was around him. I knew he couldn't resist.
I was going to make him think he had control.
I was going to make him chocolate cookies because they were his favorite.
I was going to do everything that I would have normally if I was trying to get him to like me without have dated him before. I was going to treat him like Emmett's hot friend that came down from college with him.
I was so excited that I could burst any moment. I talked to Emmett and told him to bring Edward over anytime he wanted. I even told him that me and Edward could try to be friends. He was happy I was putting forth the effort. So tonight Edward was coming over to hang out with Emmett. My parents were out of town visiting my grandparents. So Emmett and I had the house to ourselves for a few days.
I had everything planned out.
I was finishing up my make up when I heard Emmett in the hallway talking to someone. And that someone was Edward. They must be going to his room.
I fluffed my hair one more time and put on my high heels. I was planning to make it look like I was going somewhere. Then I was going to sit in my truck for a few minutes then go back inside and say that I had a change of plans. That way I was stuck in the house with them all night. Alice came up with the idea.
I walked down the hall to Emmett's room and heard music playing and the TV on. I knocked but I knew they probably couldn't hear me so I just opened the door. I saw Emmett sitting on his bed and Edward sitting in his desk chair. They were both watching TV, but when I walked in their attention was on me. I looked at Edward first and saw his eyes go wide and his mouth open in shock. Yes my plan was working. I walked all the way into the room so he could get a closer look.
"I'm leaving." I said to Emmett.
"Were are you going?"
"Rose and Alice want to go out so I'm going with them." I said.
"Okay. Just don't do anything stupid. I'm not bailing you three out of jail at 3 am."
"Whatever." I said walking out the door. "Oh hi Edward." I said turning around to wave at him. He just looked at me, mouth still open, I gave him a wink and shut the door behind me.
I walked to my truck and stayed there for a few minutes and texted Rose and Alice. I told them that phase one was complete. They were happy and told me to text them with the details later tonight. I sent a quick reply and decided I wasted enough time so I made my way inside.
This time they were in the kitchen.
"What are you doing back?" Emmett asked with a mouth full of food.
"Rose got sick so my plans were canceled. Looks like it's just us three for tonight." I said sitting in a chair across form Edward and Emmett. I made sure Edward go a good look at my boobs. I saw him shift in his seat avoiding eye contact with me. This was so much fun.
"So what are we doing tonight?" I asked.
"Me and Edward are chilling in my room. You can do whatever you want." Emmett said.
"Oh come on Emmett it'll be like old times. Remember when we would have sleep over's? We can make a fort in the living room like we use to do, and watch Friday the 13th." I said.
"No."Emmett said.
"Well it's not just up to you Edward has a say. Edward what do you think?" I said turning my attention to him. I bit my lower lip. I knew that use to drive him wild.
"Um..I don't…um…I have to go..um..get my phone." Edward said getting up and walking down the hall.
"What are you doing Bella?" Emmett asked me.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"What are you trying to pull? Just the other day you were crying over him and now you want to spend time with him. I don't get you sometimes."
"I'm just trying okay. I'm done with crying over him. I'm over it. I just want to move on and be friends." I was proud of myself. I actually sounded convincing.
"Okay whatever. Just go put on some clothes. I think your giving the poor man a heart attack."
"Whatever." I got up and walked over to the stairs. But not before I ran into Edward.
"Hey you okay?" I asked.
"Yea." Edward said.
"Good. So I hope that your okay with all of this." I said.
'Well it's different, but I'm just happy that you're talking to Me." he said with a smile. It was his crocked smile. That's when I lost my train of thought and just stared at him. That smile was dangerous. I can't lose my focus.
"Yea well I want to be friends if that alright."
"Bella you have no idea how great that sounds."
"Good. So I'll see you later." I said walking up the stairs. I swayed my hips giving him something to look at. I got half way up when I turned around.
"Oh and Edward."
"Yea?" he asked. He was still standing at the foot of the stairs.
"Your fly is undone." I said with a smile and biting my lip. He looked down and his face started to get red. He zipped up his pants and looked at me.
"Thanks." He said looking embarrassed.
"No problem." I said walking up the stars to my room.
This was going to be too easy.
AN: so if some of you are disappointed with Emmett "beating up" Edward I'm sorry. They are best friends and best friends can't stay mad at each other. And I didn't want to write a whole scene describing Emmett beating him up. That's just not my cup of tea. So I thought this was better.
So what do you think of Bella's plan for Revenge? I think she has gone crazy. Does anyone agree?
Review and tell me what you think. Every time I read a review it leaves a smile on my face. Your thoughts and comments just make me so happy. Keep 'em coming.
Until next time…..
