Last Chapter...

Alice narrowed her eyes at me, "You're a bad liar Isabella Swan it would probably drive you insane."

I knew it to be true. After all I learned that you should never bet against Alice.

Chapter Six – Not A Third Wheel

Bella POV

It had been two days since the bonfire incident and I was currently standing in front of Alice's house.

I was officially in enemy territory.

Alice invited me for a swim in her backyard pool. I did not expect to see some of the cars we seen in La Push to be in her driveway.

I rang the door bell and I groaned out loud when Emmett answered.

"What are you doing here?" Emmett demanded to know with his arms folded in front of him making his massive arms look larger. He suddenly reminded me of a puffer fish trying to look as big and bad as possible. A puffer fish with a black eye, bruised nose and busted lip. I giggled on inside my mind.

He was pushed to the side.

"Bella darling it's been to long! Alice told me you just moved here," Alice's mom, Andrea said pulling me into a hug.

"Emmett be nice," Alice ordered with a growl as I heard her voice out of nowhere.

I couldn't see her behind Emmett's massive frame but I could see her legs and feet.

Andrea pulled me inside the house offering me cookies and I accepted. Alice's mom made the best cookies on the world.

She gave me one fresh out the oven and I moaned in delight as I ate.

"God I love you woman," I said with a mouthful of cookies and she laughed.

Emmett POV

I couldn't believe Alice would invite the crazy girl into our house. Now she was eating my cookies. Well actually Andrea baked them for Bella after Alice told her she was coming over today but still those should have been mine! After I heard that Bella was invited over I called my friends inviting them also. I hoped I made her uncomfortable enough to leave.

They arrived just two minutes before Bella. Prefect... except Alice was pissed off at me for that. Now she was moaning over what-should-have-been-my cookies, god that was sexy and my felt body react in certain place.

Bella POV

Emmett was no longer glaring at me but giving me a weird look. I stuck my tongue out at him and his glared returned. Alice giggled and pulled me upstairs going to her room.

"Bella I'm so sorry Emmett is being a jerk and he didn't tell me he invited his friends over they just arrived not even minutes after you did," Alice explained. I looked out her window out the backyard to see about people out back playing in large pool.

Alice began pointing out a few people and told me who they were, "That one you know is Edward, he is pissed off I helped you yesterday the one in his arms is Tanya," I looked to see that the strawberry blond had grown into a woman. "Irina is that one," She growled pointing to the one the silvery blond throwing herself at none than Jasper Hale.

I looked at Alice with a raised eyebrow after she growled. Alice never hated unless it was in defense for her friends, "Spill."

She didn't say anything but she was still looking at the window. I followed her line of sight and saw Jasper Hale was looking up at the window staring at Alice. Their eyes were locked. Irina then came behind Jasper held on his shoulders and wrapped her legs around him. Alice glared and huffed as his gaze was pulled away and Irina turned him head forcing him to kiss her. Alice growled again.

"Jasper Hale huh?" I asked Alice and she blushed.

"He isn't a bad guy once you get him away from the crowd," Alice said in a tiny voice.

It was a little hot in the house since they had the back door open they turned off the A/C.

"Let's go down to the pool," I told Alice and she looked surprise. "It's ok we'll just stay on the other side of the pool. Let's not let them ruin our fun besides your mom is watching they won't do anything." Alice grinned and we went downstairs.

Emmett POV

"Emmett," Edward said pointedly and nodded his head to the back door and I looked to see my sister and her little friend coming out back. That girl had a lot of guts.

They went to the other side of the pool and took she pulled off her shirt showing a black bikini top. I felt myself suck in a sharp breath of air as she bent of to take off her shorts. Edward glanced my way eye rolling his eyes and he smirked.

"I bet you $100 dollars you can't get that piece of ass cousin," Edward said causing our little group to laugh.

Emmett Cullen was never one to back down from a bet.

"You're on," I smiled back. I canon balled into the pool, swimming to Alice and Bella's side of the pool.

"Hello sister… hello pretty lady," I said in a smooth voice.

Bella POV

Alice and I were floating in the pool when I heard a voice say, "Hello sister… hello pretty lady."

I looked to see Emmett Cullen's topless body for the first time. I felt heart jump as I looked into his clear blue eyes but I kept my expression neutral.

"What do you want Emmett?" Alice asked.

"Nothing just noticed this fine piece of woman here floating all alone," Emmett replied looking as if he was going to eat me. The worst part was I felt my body respond to his words. I blushed.

"Eww Emmett. Go away!" Alice yelled splashing water his way and he laughed swimming back to his side of the pool.

"He's up to something," I said.

"Duh Bella he is always seems to be up to something when Edward if around," Alice replied sending a glare at Edward.

I shrugged and we played in the water for another hour. Thankfully Emmett didn't come back to bother us in the pool.

I was to meeting up with Jacob later tonight so I took a shower in Alice's bathroom and got dressed. I opened the door to see Emmett waiting for me. Looking down the hallway I saw that no one was around. Everyone was still outside and I could hear Alice and her mother in the kitchen. No one could save me if he was going to attack.

"Bella…" Emmett said causing me to jump up. "Look I'm sorry for calling you names when we were younger." He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Can we start over?" He asked.

He looked and sounded pretty sincere. He gave me a goofy grin and his big blue puppy dog eyes won me over. He looked so cute.

Yes agree to get away from him. "Okay," I heard myself say in a tiny voice.

His grin turned into a very large smile that bedazzled me, "Thanks." He turned to go downstairs leaving me confused.

I stood there for a second stunned … what did I agree too? I sighed and made my way downstairs with my bag in hand. I hugged Alice goodbye and took a bag of cookie her mother gave me.

"See you tomorrow Pixie," I said as I walked out the door.

I headed to La Push and parked in front of Jacob's house. I knocked on the door and no one answered. I guessed Jacob was in the garage and headed around the corner towards the backside of the house and what I saw stopped me cold.

Jacob was there with a girl sitting on the hood of my Comet. Her hands were running up and down his bare chest and he was making out with her.

I gasped and quickly went back around the corner with my back leaning on the house for support. My face tickled so I rubbed my face and felt something wet. I was crying.

'Pull it together Bella! Just friends remember... what is wrong with you?' My mind said.

I quickly walked back to my SUV, opened the door and sat there for a minute. Should I leave? No. Jacob knew I was supposed to come today and if I drove off he might hear my car leaving. I told him we were only to be friends. Right. We are only friends. I sighed and looked in the mirror. I took my purse and touched up my makeup and ran my fingers through my hair. I got out the car and slammed my car hard enough to make sure Jacob heard it.

I pulled my shirt down to smooth out any wrinkles. I continued to walk on the porch and made a show of knocking on the door while loudly yelling Jacob's name. "Jacob are you home?" I yelled at the door.

I felt like a fake when Jacob rounded the corner holding the girl's hand. His shirt was back on, his hair disheveled from their make out and his lips were swollen. Pretending not to notice and ignoring the ache in my heart I shot a fake smile at them.

"Oh hey Jake I didn't know you weren't in the house. Who is your friend?" I asked.

"I'm Emily. His girlfriend," She piped up rudely and stressed out the word girlfriend.

I widened my fake smile as big as I could, so big that my cheeks hurt. "Wow Jake have you been hiding her? I didn't know you had a girlfriend," I said trying to keep be voice from sounding angry. Jacob seemed to be daydreaming for a moment and he blinked. My act must have worked, he didn't even noticing anything off.

"We just started going out this morning," He told me and looked at Emily. "This is my best friend Bella. That's her Comet in the back."

"Oh I thought when you spoke of your best friend it would be a guy," Emily said looking at me from top to bottom. She looked upset for a second and then her face gave a fake smile.

I laughed nervously and joked, "I hope he didn't say anything bad."

"Let's go to the garage," Jacob said pulling Emily with him and I followed them. I kept glancing at their hand clasped together and swallowed my jealously.

Jacob gave me the list of things need which was actually everything except for the body. He told me he was going to sand it down and repaint it this week. I had gotten the ok from my mom to restore the car and I gagged when she told me I was conceived in a similar car.

There are some things that should not be said.

I grabbed the list and told Jacob bye. I wanted to get the hell out of there was soon as possible. My stomach was in pain from the churning and turning I felt when I looked at Jacob and Emily.

I was about to drive off when Jacob came running down and knocked on my window. I unrolled it with a push of a button. "What's up Jake?" I asked him barely keeping my voice from wavering.

"Emily and I are going to the summer fair next week in Forks we were wondering if you wanted to tag along with us."

I pretended to look thoughtful for a second but I was really trying to stop myself from crying.

There was no way I would be a third wheel.

"I don't know Jake I don't want to be a third wheel," I said with a forced smile. I better be winning a best actress award for this.

Jacob looked disappointed for a second. "How about you bring Alice?" He asked even if she was Cullen's little sister he liked her.

There was no way to get out of this without him thinking there was something up.

"Sure."

Jacob's disappointment left his face and he shot me a big smile. I pulled out the drive way waving to him and started to cry. I tried to wipe away the tears but they were coming to fast. I pulled over on side of the dirt road as soon I was out of sight from Jacob's house and dialed Alice's number.

Jacob POV

I moaned as I pretended the girl in front of me was Bella and I deepened the kiss. I heard a car door slam loudly and jumped apart from Emily, she had a foggy expression on her face from our make out session. I looked down at my watch and I was surprised time had passed so quickly. I heard Bella pounding on my front door and yelling out my name and asking if I was home. I threw my shirt on as Emily fixed her clothes.

The night at the bonfire a planned formed in my mind. I had to make Bella jealous so she could admit and want me as more than just friends. Leah's cousin, Emily came into town… she was hot, she made me feel hot and she flirted shamelessly with me. She was perfect for my plan. She grabbed my hand was we walked to the front of the house and I saw Bella smiling at me.

"Oh hey Jake I didn't know you weren't in the house. Who is your friend?" She asked still smiling.

"I'm Emily. His girlfriend," I heard Emily pipe up rudely and stressed out the word girlfriend.

I couldn't believe my eyes when Bella's face widen with an even larger smile. I stood there upset for a moment. 'Why wasn't this working?'

We talked a bit longer and then headed to the garage. I gave the list that she asked me to make and she told me bye. She must have had other plans. She was about to drive off when I stopped her and asked her to go with us to the summer fair. I could try to make her jealous there. She was hesitant about being a tag along and I just told her to bring Alice.

She drove off and I wondered if I made a mistake.

Maybe that little pixie was wrong.
