SUPER DUPER DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!(READ THIS!)
THIS FF IS NOT BASED OFF OF REAL EXPERIENCES!
(I live in a small town where some people read this… I don't to become the latest gossip, so I never used alcohol or drugs EVER. I was only high once off of second hand smoke at the Live Earth Concert.)
Oh, and I don't own Twilight, you all should know that…
"Um, yeah." He got his car keys from his back pocket.
"I need to borrow them for a moment." He gave them to me and I dashed to the Vanquish.
"Don't you dare, Bella!" Alice threatened as she walked, oh so gracefully from her car.
Edward was already next to me. "Are you drunk Bella?" his eyes were skeptical.
"No, just a little tipsy. Now, I have some revenge I attend on fulfilling, excuse me."
I put the keys near the paint job. Before I could scratch it I heard Jon scream from the porch. "No! NOT THE PAINT JOB!"
It stalled me enough so Edward could take the keys away.
"Damn." I started to swear under my breath.
Edward growled, "You better be happy that Carlisle and Esme isn't here, or that I don't tell Charlie." He growled so only I could hear it.
"Alice! Why did you have to tell him?" I yelled to Alice, forgetting that she could hear me just fine without screaming.
"You forgot to wear a helmet." Emmett and Jasper laughed.
"Wow, this is a first, Bella, catching you on national television then catching you drinking and smoking."
"I wasn't smoking, Emmett, Jon was."
"WHO'S SMOKING?!" I heard Hannah yell from inside the house, sure, she doesn't notice that four people show up in the front yard, but she notices when I mentioned smoking.
"Shit." I heard Jon swear under his breath. He dropped it on the cement porch and smothered it with his shoe, then kicking it into the bushes next to the porch, as Hannah slammed open the door.
"Are you smoking again?" she smelled his breath, "And drinking too? Do you know how this could screw up everything?" That is when she noticed the Cullens. "Who is this?"
"Hannah, this is my fiancé, Edward. His sister Alice," I pointed to the car, "and his brothers, Jasper and Emmett."
"I guess you could come in… And you!" she screamed to Jon, "are in serious shit! You are gonna chug SO much water." She pushed him inside and continued to scream.
Edward hugged me something fierce. "Do you have any idea how worried I've been? No more calls after that first one, and you didn't give me a number to call." He let go of me to look at me in the eye. "Why didn't tell us? And why didn't you wear a helmet?"
"Ok, one question at once. I didn't tell you because I was retiring, haven't you noticed that Forks seldom has any paved roads and helmets weigh me down."
"You don't have any self preservation, don't you?"
"Nope!" I popped my lips on the "p".
"So, who was that Bella?" Emmett asked, he was already right next to me.
"That's Jon," Edward growled. "he's JUST a friend, geezmus, Edward!"
"You're not hearing the other boy's thoughts from inside."
"Great, first the bet, now this."
"What bet?" Jasper asked.
"You'll probably find out sooner or later." I led them to the front door, "Oh, and please be nice, they knew me before you did and I was a bit of a different person back then. They have different memories of me than you think." I was warning mostly Edward. "Don't hurt them until after Leagues is over."
"Ok, when is that?" I was surprised that Alice didn't know this.
"I think three days, maybe longer."
We walked in, Emmett and Jasper sniggered when they saw the living room, the couch was filled with the five guys playing Halo. And Hannah was forcing water down Jon's throat in the kitchen, which was visible from where I stood.
"Guys," no response, "GUYS!" still no response. "Jesus loves you!" that got their attention.
That saying was a result of an experiment that we tried in high school, people reacted more to 'Jesus loves you' than 'Rape' or 'Molester'.
"This is Edward, my fiancé, and his brothers and sister, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice."
A little chorus of hi's, what's up's, and nods followed. That was good enough for me.
I walked into the kitchen where Hannah and Jon were, Emmett and Jasper stayed in the living room, probably for Halo.
"So this is the famous Edward." Hannah said cooly. "I'm Hannah, and this nincompoop is Jon."
"Nice to meet you, this is my sister, Alice." Edward pointed to Alice.
"I guess you didn't take Bella's threat."
"No, I saw her on television. She never said why she left, she just said that there was a friend emergency." Alice, Hannah, and Edward gave me icy looks. Yeah, this was the time to leave.
"Yeah, I'm getting up early to practice, the next round starts at noon, right?" I asked Hannah. I knew this would soften her up, people who wanted to practice more always got on her good side.
"Yeah, don't be late, or I'll whip your pretty ass again." I heard Edward growl.
I kissed Edward on the cheek and grabbed his hand to pull him towards the doorway.
He followed, thank god for that. When we reached my room, I broke the ice.
"She's just kidding, you know."
"I know, but she didn't have to threaten you like that."
"Don't sweat it." I chuckled from that ironic statement. "I've always had to put up with it, we've all been friends since, well forever."
"Ok, no more secrets now, when did you start skating?"
"Umm, I would have to say the summer after middle school ended, before ninth grade."
"You're very good, I just wish that you will wear a helmet." He hugged me tightly.
"I'll try it, but if it gets in the way, it's going to be taken off. I can't afford to lose anymore, I already have more conflicts against me."
"Like what?" he breathed into my hair.
"Like not skating for two years, it took me 72 hours to get some moves back, I'm still not as good as I used to be. That slip yesterday cost us second place. I really need to practice." I broke the hug so I could set the alarm clock for five in the morning.
Edward sighed, it was twelve now. I was only going to get five hours of sleep.
"You wanna come tomorrow, you just have to promise not to catch me before I fall."
He looked hurt. "But I've always caught you."
"It's just how I've learned my mistakes. Did you notice all those bruises I had the first couple weeks I moved to Forks?"
"No, I noticed more of your scent." He put his arms around me and fell into the bed, with me in his arms.
"Well, that's just how I learn." I snuggled, getting comfortable. His icy presence made a good ice pack for the bruises I've already received.
EPOV-
While Bella slept, I looked at her bruises. They looked deep; her normally pale skin was covered in smudges of green, blue, purple, yellow, and the classic brown. Unlike her attire in Forks, she wore more baggy clothes here, almost tomboyish. She wore baggy black basketball shorts with a dark grey wife beater, which she wore under that black team uniform that she shoved in her duffle bag, which was overflowing in clothes, which were unfolded, no doubt due to her hurried departure of Forks.
But why wouldn't she tell us about her past here? Why wouldn't she tell me?
Was she afraid that I would disapprove? Of course I didn't approve, but clearly this is a part of Bella, and I wouldn't get in the way of that.
I turned my head to the commotion that was starting downstairs.
Did that steroid-ass just beat me?
Ha! Finally! Someone worthy of beating!
Oh, god, Chris is going to pick a fight.
I started to hear yelling downstairs. I carefully got up from the bed, being cautious of not waking Bella up.
I tiptoed out of the room, closed the door and ran down the stairs.
I found Chris and Hannah restraining a very angry Evan. "Evan! We have to play tomorrow anyway! If I find that you have even gotten one bruise, I'll kill you." Hannah yelled into his ear, he remembered a memory that made me laugh out loud; Hannah locking Evan and Greg in the neighbor's dog kennel, where they kept two Dobermans and Chihuahua, they were tame, but they were aggressive towards strangers. The image was quite hilarious, and it shut him up.
Evan shuddered, which caused Greg to shudder, he had a memory of the Chihuahua knawing on his ankle.
I decided to take action.
"I believe it's time for my siblings to go back to the hotel, I'll stay in Bella's room." I shoved a very amused Emmett out the door, a bemused Alice and Jasper followed suit.
"Aren't you going?" Jared asked; his mind was full of x-ideas of what he could do with my Bella.
"No, as I said I'm staying Bella's room." I started to walk up the stairs, but Jared stopped me.
"Wait, we need some questions answered. It's not everyday that our Bella brings a guy home with her." Their minds were filled with questions; the most common was 'how she was in the sack.' Alice had seen this, I was sure.
I looked back at them and walked to the living room, this was going to be a long night.
BPOV-
I woke up thinking of ways I could destroy the alarm clock; most of them included explosives. I picked it up, looking at the time. 5:01 AM. I groaned and threw it across the room.
"Bella, do you usually throw the clock across the room when I'm not the one to wake you up?" I groaned; I forgot Edward was here, I just got used to the idea of sleeping alone. I groaned then got up, which resulted me falling.
I just lay there, wanting this to be just a dream and I could sleep for a couple more hours.
"You ok, Bella?" I rolled over on to my stomach and groaned.
"The world needs to just die," I mumbled. I heard him laugh.
"I wouldn't allow that, I love you too much." I got up.
"Well, now that I've shown you my violent side, I really need a human moment." I grabbed my shirt from my duffel bag, the same uniform from yesterday, yeah; it was gross that I was wearing the same shirt that I wore, sweating in the Arizona sun.
"Didn't you wear that yesterday?"
"Don't ask." That was all I was in the mood to say. I walked out into the hall, looking down from the balcony at the top of the stairs, to find all of the guys, plus Hannah, snoring on the couch, only Chris was the only person on the floor.
It was amazing; they still did this since the fifth grade. Ever since the fifth and sixth grade dance, we all had hypothermia, we sweated so much during the dance. We all shivered together, sharing the three blankets that we could find.
My thoughts were interrupted when two cold arms wrapped themselves around my waist.
"You ok?" he murmured into the hollow of my throat.
"Just thinking." I inhaled the sweet scent that came off his hair.
"You have no idea how much that frustrates me." He sighed, making the hair at the nape of my neck raise.
I turned towards him and pecked him on his lips. "I need to get moving. I only have a few hours to train." I ran into the bathroom, ignoring all of the hair products on the tub, toilet, and sink. Then I took the shortest shower in all of existence.
I ran out with my wet hair in a pony, it was moot point to dry your hair in Phoenix.
"You smell absolutely wonderful when you come out of the shower." Edward handed me a bowl of Coca Puffs, I ate it quickly, and then toasted some bread. "I've never seen you eat this much for breakfast."
"I need all the carbs I can get this morning, please remind me to get a sub or something before eleven."
He laughed, "Come on, Emmett is quite literary bouncing to see you skate."
I groaned.
FOUR DAYS LATER!!!!!
I held Edward's hand tightly as we watched Greg skate through the ramps and rails.
It was 'win or lose' time, if Greg screwed up; we lost.
This was probably in my top ten most tense moments of my life, of course, the top seven occurred the last two years, all involving my life on the line.
And he landed the last moves perfectly. We won.
THAT NIGHT!
The celebration mood had reached everyone, and I mean everyone. Jasper was playing DDR with Jared and Hannah, who was putting a good fight, or in this case; dance, and Alice was cheering Jasper on.
Emmett was playing Halo, teaming up with Greg and Chris against Evan and Smith. Edward was watching them, cheering Emmett's team naturally.
And, I don't know how, but Jon and I were getting sloshed on the front porch, Alice and Edward were either not paying attention, or ignoring us.
"So, when areyougunnaaskHannah?" I slurred my words. Jon took the last few breaths of his joint before putting it out on the cement back steps.
That's when I noticed that I was high too, off of victory and second hand smoke. "Man, your moves were so narley, man." He drank more than I did, a full solo cup, while I had ¾ of one.
"You didn't ask my answer." I accused him, not knowing that my grammar was off.
"About Hannah, god, I love her so much." He stretched out his arms to show me how much.
"Well, I love Edward this much!" I stretched my arms till they were as far as I could go. "You know what? I'm tired of you not telling her! If you don't ask her tonight, then I'll ask her for you!" His bloodshot eyes widened.
"You wouldn't dare." I grinned.
I ran into the house, through the kitchen, and knicked my side on the edge of the counter, losing my balance and fell. Soon Jon tripped on me and fell as well. We both laughed like lunatics.
"Bella?" Edward walked in. He eyed me carefully. "Are you high?" I laughed uncontrollably, for some reason, this remark seemed to be beyond hilarious.
"No, silly, it's his fault, he was the one smoking." I hiccupped.
"And you're drunk, you better be happy that I don't tell Charlie this."
I tried to get up, but failed because I couldn't stand in one spot without swaying.
"You need to learn how to hold your booze, Bella." Jon hiccupped.
I heard Edward growl at him under his breath. "Edward…" I tried to growl back, but it ended up sounding like a gurgle. They both laughed.
"Hey! You can't beat me!" I heard Emmett yell at Hannah. That reminded me of my mission.
"Hannah! Jon wants to talk to you!"
"BELLA!" Jon whined.
"Bite the big one, Jon. Go ask her." Edward laughed, he heard what I was talking about in Jon's mind.
"You told him too?" Jon was whining like a five year old.
"Come on, Jon! Everyone except Hannah knows! Actually I wouldn't be surprised if she knew too!"
"I know what?" Hannah came in. She saw me swaying in Edward's arms and Jon on the floor. "Were you guys drinking?" she almost screeched. Jon tried to get up.
"Hannah…" He was looking on the floor.
"And you've been smoking too?" He looked into her eyes with his blood-shot ones. "I thought-" and right there he interrupted her by kissing her.
She struggled a little at first, braking it, then she looked back at him and smiled. "It's about time!" then she kissed him back, going further than Edward and I have ever gone.
Edward edged with me out of the room. He brought me into the living room, where Jasper and Emmett were playing Halo. Jasper looked at me funny when I first came in, then chuckled.
"I've never seen you drunk and high, Bella."
I sighed. "This is going to be the last time, I'm afraid, Edward doesn't approve."
Emmett laughed, "You've been like this before?" he didn't look from the television.
"New Years." I sat next to Alice. She started to play with my hair, brushing it out gently, and then from what I could tell, she was making French braid pigtails.
"What?" Edward sat next to me, holding my hand.
"Tradition, that's all I'm going to say." He nodded, respecting my privacy.
The rest of the night we watched Emmett and Jasper play Halo until I passed out on the couch.
I woke up with the worst hangover of all existence.
