The first thing I noticed when I woke, was the construction worker that was taking a jackhammer to the inside of my brain.
The next thing I noticed, was that I couldn't move my hands. I rushed to open my eyes prepared to panic, but the construction worker decided that this was good time to hit a power line and the pain in my head exploded.
Where the hell am I?
I suddenly realized that I was in complete darkness and unable to move. I pushed and pulled, trying to free my body, but the more I moved, the worse things got. I stopped struggling and willed my head to stop pounding long enough for me to figure out where I was.
I listened for talking or footsteps, anything to tell me where I was. I was met with extreme silence. I noticed that everything around me smelled of vomit and alcohol.
What is going on?
I moved around again, desperate to find a way out of my bindings when I realized that I was practically naked. The only clothing I could feel were my bra and panties.
As my heart began to race, the pounding in my head matched it's rhythm. I had no memory of last night and no idea where I had ended up.
Did I go home with some psycho killer?
What happened to Alice and Rose?
I was about to have a serious panic attack when I heard a shrill laughter that pierced the inner hallows of my tortured head. I struggled harder to try to free my hands, I had to block out that horrible sound.
"Bella, how the heck did you end up like that?"
I stopped my struggling, my poor brain working overtime to make sense of the words I had just heard. My mouth was parched and my throat was scratchy as I tried to talk.
"Alice?"
"Of course silly. Hold still a minute and I'll help you out of there."
I felt a tugging from everywhere around me and soon found myself tumbling in a heap on to my hard wood floor, hitting my head in the process. I groaned as I shielded my eyes from the light.
"Woops, sorry about that." Alice said as she helped me to a sitting position. I looked around and noticed that my horrid prison was actually my blanket and sheets and that I was safe in my own bedroom, sitting up next to my bed. Not too far away was a bucket whose smell threatened to make my stomach turn.
I placed my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands. "What happened, Alice? The last thing I remember was going to the bar to drink away my anger at Edward."
Alice scrunched up her face a bit, clearly deciding what to tell me. Suddenly her face brightened, "I'm gonna call Rose, you get a shower and meet me in the kitchen. I'll make breakfast and tell you all about it."
I groaned, wanting and not wanting at the same time to hear what she had to say. I didn't think my stomach could handle standing up, so I crawled into my bathtub and pulled the knob for the shower. For the first few minutes I didn't even care that I was still in my undies, or that the shower curtain was pulled back getting water everywhere. I just wanted to wash this ugly feeling off of my skin.
It took me nearly an hour before I felt human enough to walk out of the bathroom. Alice had placed some clothes out for me and I quickly got dressed. Looking around the room, I noticed that she had also removed the bucket and stripped my sheets. Alice really is the best friend ever.
I trudged down the hall into the kitchen and found Alice and Rose whispering quietly over two cups of coffee, their faces very close as to not be overheard, by me I'm guessing. I cleared my throat and they both looked up at me slightly startled.
"Hey Bella, I have a plate all ready for you and some hot coffee too." Alice told me as I moved to sit down. Rose gave me a weak smile and glared slightly at Alice, I turned to notice that Alice was shaking her head trying to tell Rose no about whatever it was they were thinking about. Finally Rose was done with conversing silently.
"If you don't tell her Alice, I will."
"Tell me what?" I asked as I sat down with my plate of eggs, bacon and pancakes. Alice quickly placed the coffee in front of me and asked how many sugars I would like. I could tell she was trying to avoid answering my question. "Alice," I stopped to look her directly in the eyes, "tell me what?"
Alice took a deep breath and seemed to be collecting her thoughts, "It's about last night."
"Well I came home and there was no strange man in my bed, so it couldn't have been that bad." I remembered that Alice was there this morning when I woke up, "Oh my God Alice, I didn't try to sleep with you did I?"
"What?" Alice and Rose exchanged confused glances before Alice answered my question, "No! No Bella, you didn't sleep with anyone."
"Okay, so then what happened?"
"Well," Alice was cut off by my phone ringing. Alice and Rose looked at each other before turning to me before both talking at the same time.
"Don't answer that!" Rose yelled.
"Let the machine get it." Alice told me.
We were all silent as I let the phone ring the normal five times before the machine picked up.
"Hi, you've reached Bella Swan. I'm busy at the moment so leave your name and number at the beep and I'll call you back. Bye!"
BEEP. "Well, well, well, Bella Swan. I do hope you're feeling better this morning." My heart nearly stopped as I recognized Edward's extremely smug voice. "After all, I am sure that professing your undying love to someone you say you hate has to take a toll on you. For the record, you ruined my date, thank you very much. Though I am sure you'll be getting a lot more after that little stunt." I looked over at Alice and Rose, completely horrified at what I was hearing, but neither one would look me in the eyes. "Not that I care, but you really need to move on; your attempts at winning me back, well, it's embarrassing." I could practically see the smug look on his face as he ended the call. I was seething as the house became suddenly quiet.
"Alice. Rose. What. The. Fuck. Happened."
Rose decided the answer me first, "We went out last night to drink away your anger at Edward. While we were there, he showed up with a date and you just lost it. You started doing shots like nobody's business and then you went and talked to the DJ. I'm not sure what you said to him, but he turned down the music and handed you the microphone."
"We took pictures because we knew being that drunk that you wouldn't remember it." Alice told me as she handed me my camera.
I turned on the LED display and started flipping through the pictures. They started with us three having a good time and posing for different silly pictures. Very quickly, it changed to pictures of me slamming down drink after drink after drink. In between, I was flailing my arms around and it looked like I was yelling. Apparently, something had set me off. Then there came a picture of Edward with some woman, they were off talking in a dark corner, very close to each other and obviously very friendly. The next picture showed the girl with her hand on Edward's arm and Rose holding me back from storming off in their direction. I closed the camera not wanting to see any more.
I groaned as I dropped my head in my arms resting on the table. Alice tried to put a comforting hand on my shoulder, but all that did was alert me that there was worse coming from this story.
I sighed as I looked back at the girls, "What else?"
Alice decided to continue the story. "After you called for Edward to come out, you started accusing him of playing with your emotions and being a player. You brought up his little speech from last week and then screamed about him having a date."
Alice stopped for a moment, looking like she was trying to figure something out. "It was weird cause his date was trying not to laugh the whole time and Edward was just shocked, amused and had this smug look on his face."
Rose decided to chime in. "Are you sure you want to hear the rest of it Bella? It might be best just left alone for now."
"It's best if she hears it from us Rose." Alice knew me well enough to know that I would think of every terrible possibility if they didn't tell me now.
"Well it's not like I did a strip tease to Bon Jovi or anything." I was trying to lighten the mood, then I saw their faces fall and realized that they were looking everywhere but at me.
Then I remembered my state of dress when I woke this morning.
"No, no, no, no, no! Please tell me I didn't try doing a strip tease for him!"
Rose perked up at my question, "No, you didn't do a strip tease. You did however take off your shirt and ask if his date had better tits. Then you pulled off your skirt and asked if she had better legs. You got right up in his face and kissed him. It looked like he was kissing back too."
"So is that why I was down to my underwear when I woke up? Why didn't you guys get me back into my clothes?"
"We were planning on it, but you passed out and Edward took off with your clothes. Memories or some shit like that. We ended up dragging you out in a tablecloth the bartender let us borrow." Alice defended, "We have to return it tonight by the way, and I already put it in the wash."
All I could think about was the phone call we had yesterday, how I told him that I wanted nothing to do with him and how pissy he was being the entire call. And now, Edward has my clothes, I'm assuming in some sort of attempt to get me to call him to get them back. Not a chance, he can keep them.
I wanted to blame the alcohol, I wanted to blame him, I wanted to blame Alice and Rose for letting me do that; but in the end I couldn't find anyone but myself to blame.
I am so confused, and so fucked!
