Ouch. My hair hurts. Oh, I've been pulling at it. Huh. My feet hurt. Right. I have been pacing back and forth for almost an hour. My lip! Is it bleeding? Wow, I bit hard. The Cullens would be here… today.. in ten minutes! I finally got dressed. I decided on black jeans and a white blouse and slipped my glasses on. I left my hair down, which was in natural curls. It stopped a few inches above my stomach.
Okay, so I have two plans. One was to play dumb and hope for everything to be okay or kill Edward. Sort of leaning towards the second one.
"Bells! They could be here at any time!" My dad yelled
"I know I am just brushing my hair" I lied.
Okay, I have gotta pull it together. Should I kill him with a candlestick? That seemed a bit unoriginal, though.
Ugh. I need to go downstairs soon. Eventually, I grabbed Withering Heights and forced myself down the stairs while reading it. It somewhat distracted me. While I was in the middle of the third paragraph I heard the front door open. Remember don't freak out! I peeked up from my book and saw Edward in the middle of the idiots. He wasn't looking at me any differently and neither was his family. Actually, he looked like he was in pain.
"Hello!" Emmett boomed.
"Dude! Not so loud." Edward moaned. Haha. Idiot had a hangover. Wait! Was he even drinking last night? Did he even remember what happened last night? I could feel a twinge of hope swelling inside me.
I heard my dad come down the stairs and he greeted each of them. The whole time Edward looked like he was trying hard not to pass out. Did he tell any of them? Did he remember seeing me there?
"Hello kids! How are you guys?" Charlie asked. They all replied good and acted very polite like they usually did around him.
"Hey I know I said I'd hang out with you guys today but I just got a call from work so I have to head out. Sorry guys." Charlie said looking around for his car keys. I shrugged off the disappointment that ran through me and reassured him it was fine.
Right when he walked out the door the Cullens just glared at me like they usually did. It was more disgust and annoyance than anything,
"So... Edward what did you do last night?" I asked, trying to look amused. I was really trying to figure out if he remembered anything.
Instead of being met with a witty remark by Edward I was met by a obnoxiously loud laugh from Emmett.
"He doesn't remember!" Emmett bellowed in between his laughter. I'm pretty sure he was being loud on purpose.
"I think anyone could figure that out genius." Edward remarked bitterly.
With that one statement I knew he forgot everything and I could feel a big grin stretch over my face. Yes! Yes! Yes! I am NOT screwed! I can still play and no one will ever know! Oh I can't wait to tell the band! Well, now I don't have to kill him!
"Well I'm outta here." Rosalie stated as she walked out the door. I watched as the others followed her.
When they shut the door behind them, I let out a squeal I had been holding. I grabbed my guitar, ran up to my room, and played Smile by Uncle Kracker.
You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
Lets me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade
As I got to this part I started dancing around and played my guitar while bobbing my head up and down.
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile
Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that
As I got to the chorus I started making longer, more dramatic movements with my guitar swinging my head side to side like I did on stage. I looked kind of stupid but I couldn't bring myself to care.
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile
Don't know how I lived without you
Cuz every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile
I slowly slipped my guitar off my shoulder and collapsed on my bed laughing softly. After a minute I turned around and saw Edward looking at me through the window from his room with a look of curiosity in his eyes. What was he thinking about?
I felt panic wash over me but ignored it. He wouldn't remember. Why the hell do they gawk at me all the time? I glared at him. I swear I thought I saw him flinch but instead of pondering over it I slowly walked over to the window and smiled sweetly at him and shut the blinds so he could no longer see me.
I was done being embarrassed by him. I was done listening to his stupid insults. I was done with him.
