"Bella!" I heard Emmett shout. What does he want?
I ran down stairs to find him sitting with Edward on the couch.
"Hi, love. I hear that you were a great help to Alice." Edward said. He looked a lot better. His eyes were liquid gold. He was beautiful.
I smiled and sat next to him, carful not to be to close to Emmett. I didn't want to find out if he knew what Alice and I have done. The guilt was eating me alive.
I could imagine what he would do if he found out I helped Alice…
"Bella?" Emmett said waving his hand in front of my face.
"Huh?"
"Are you feeling ok? You seem…nervous."
"Well I-"
"She is both nervous and guilty," Jasper said interrupting. He floated down the stairs. I can't believe he just said that! I don't want anyone to know I had helped. I-it's not fair.
"Guilty?" Edward asked.
"Well, I…yes." I couldn't lie to Edward no matter how bad the case. I knew he loved me and still would. It was stupid to be guilty about this. Isn't that part of the competition?
"Why?" Emmett asked.
"I… uh…" I couldn't think of anything to say. I either tell the truth and ruin Alice's plan or come up with something quick.
"What is it, Bella?" Edward said. I avoided his eyes because he could always make me do anything just by looking into them.
"I changed Charlie's shampoo to…glue. It was a trick and I feel bad for it."
"Oh…" Emmett said. I could tell he wanted to laugh but he held it in.
Edward wasn't buying it. He swooped me up into his arms and carried me to his room. He wasn't breathing and neither was I. I could hear Emmett quietly laughing at something Jasper said.
Edward closed the door and sat me on his bed. He made me look at him and he said," Ok, what is wrong with you, love?"
I hesitated and said," Alice and I tore up all of Emmett's clothes."
He looked at me and chuckled. I could sense that he thought it was a stupid reason to be so sad. Maybe it was but I'm not used to doing things like that. The most that I've done that was bad would probably be taking a pencil from my friend in the third grade. I gave it back to her a month later.
He kissed me and smiled his gorgeous crooked smile.
"Well, the guilt is gone," I said.
"WE HAVE A FEW HOURS UNTIL I KICK EMMETT'S A-"
"Alice, language!" Esme shouted.
"BUTT!" she giggled.
I laughed. This will be an interesting night.
A/N: sorry for the shortness of this chapter. Next chapter we will drum roll FINALLY get to the fashion show. Emmett may have a few tricks up his sleeve.
