"We're here!" Emmett said, parking the Cullen's driveway.
I unbuckled my seatbelt and jumped out of the car. Alice and Jasper had gotten together, after dinner. It wasn't a surprise that they did, but the two kept kissing and whispering to each other on the ride home. It was sickening to me, yet very sweet and romantic. I couldn't help but smile when I saw Edward's Volvo in the driveway. I quickly slapped my hand over my mouth, when I had noticed what I was doing. You're not suppose to smile over a guy, I commanded myself. I followed the two couples into the house.
"You guys want to hang out here for a while?" Alice asked. We all knew that she only wanted Jasper to stay, but ignored that small fact. I didn't get how they could get together so quickly. It had only been two days since they've known each other. Weren't you supposed to get together with someone once you got to know them?
"Sure!" Emmett agreed. Like Alice and Jasper, Emmett only wanted to stay so that he could spend sometime with Rosalie.
"Hey," a familiar voice said from the stairs. Edward came walking down in a t-shirt and shorts. How could he look so good in something so casual? I asked in my head. When I heard that thought I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Edward does not look good; you will not be sucked in. When I opened my eyes, I found Edward standing between Rosalie and Jasper.
"Hi Edward," Alice greeted. She was wearing a wide grin on her face.
"Why don't we go change?" Rosalie implied.
Alice and I nodded and we hurried upstairs. When we reached Alice's room and the door was securely locked, Alice and Rosalie squealed with delight.
"Jasper is so awesome!" Alice exclaimed. She skipped over to her closet and tossed Rosalie and me our sleeping outfits. We all had tank tops and shorts, the only thing different were the designs on them and the colors.
"Thanks," I said. I stripped off my clothes and slipped into the pajamas. I sighed with pleasure. Now this was what I called comfortable.
"Come on! Let's hurry before the guys start a conversation about us," Alice said, opening the door and hurrying down the stairs. Rosalie was right on her heels while I was slowly following behind.
"Where'd they go?" Alice asked, standing in the middle of the hallway. "Where are you guys?" Alice called out.
I had reached the floor when I heard Edward's voice echo through the walls. "Living room!"
We all walked over to a large room with a humongous T.V.
Alice and Rosalie went with their men, while I was left alone. I looked around and couldn't help but grin when I saw Edward sitting by himself. I walked over and flopped down on the small loveseat. I moved myself around on my seat, until I was resting comfortably against the arm rest and facing Edward.
"Hey there," he acknowledged me in a voice that could've passed as seductive.
"Hi," I said beaming at him.
"So tell me about your date," I conveyed, trying not to seem that interested.
Edward took a moment before answering. "It was horrifyingly boring, but a certain someone that I met next to the restrooms, made it somewhat better."
I turned red. That was such a nice answer, but I didn't think that I done much.
"So what was she talking about that made everything so boring?" I asked, pressing on to the subject.
Edward tilted his head in a thoughtful way. "Clothes, shoes, gossip. Stuff you would want to talk about to a girl."
I chuckled to myself. You're nothing like a girl I said in my head.
"Thank you," he said.
I looked at him in surprise. I smiled at him. At least I hadn't said something worse.
"So what happened after?" I inquired.
"Well, when I dropped her off, she sort of hinted me that she like the date, and that maybe she wanted to go on another," Edward said, a grimace on his face.
"Did you ask her?" I asked.
"No, I ignored her."
I was surprised by the relief that I felt when he said his answer. I laughed, "You are such an ass!" I yelled.
I grabbed the tiny yellow pillow from next to me and threw it at him.
"If Mike Newton hinted that he liked a date and wanted you to ask him to go out again, would you ask?" Edward questioned.
I thought about it for a minute. He did have a point. "No, I guess not."
"Yeah, that's what I thought," Edward said lightly throwing the pillow back. It landed on my lap and I stared at it.
"Okay, so what else happened?" I asked.
"Well, she started hinting that she wanted me to kiss her when I was in front of her house," he said slowly.
The words sunk into me, burning me like an iron. Why were these simple words doing this to me? It's not as if I cared. Right?
"Did you? I mean, kiss her?" I was gazing at the pillow in my hands. I was trying to hide my eyes, because they were usually the things that gave away all of my lies. I didn't want Edward to see how much I wanted to know that answer.
"No," said Edward in a firm voice.
When he said that, I couldn't help but feel jubilant and ecstatic inside of me. I looked up to Edward, and saw that he was smirking at me.
"Really? Why not?" I questioned in a more provoking voice than necessary.
Edward laughed a delightful laugh. "Because I don't like her and I don't want to lead her on," he elaborated.
"Well, do you like somebody?"
I had no idea where that question had come from. I didn't even know why I wanted to know this. For some reason my voice had gone so soft, that is was just a little louder than a whisper. I hadn't noticed that I was looking down again, avoiding any eye contact with him.
"Yeah, yeah I do," Edward replied in a voice that was just as soft.
Our conversation was interrupted when Alice jumped out of her seat next to Jasper, and announced in a very loud and demanding voice, "Let's watch a movie!"
Everybody's heads turned in Alice's direction.
"What movie do you guys want to watch, because right now, it's too good of a night to just be talking," exclaimed Alice. She put her hands on her hips, and pouted.
"Let's play DDS!" Rosalie suggested.
"What's that?" Edward asked from next to me.
I turned my head to over to peer at him. Was he serious? He didn't know what DDS was?
"You don't know?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
Edward moved his head from side to side.
I gave him a sly grin. "It's called the game of Deep Dark Secrets," I explained to him.
I watched as Edward's expression turned into a knowing look. "Oh, okay. So what are the rules?"
"The rules are that everybody has to tell everyone a deep and dark secret that nobody knows. If another player already knows the secret, it doesn't count and the person has to tell everybody another one. We all play rock, paper, scissors to decide who goes in what order," I explained, describing the rules in the simplest form.
"I guess that's cool," Edward said hesitating a little.
I grinned at him. "It is cool," I said, before calling to Rose. "We're in!"
"Perfect!" Rose exclaimed.
She motioned me and Edward over to the tiny circle that the four of them had already made. There was a space between Alice and Emmett that Edward and I filled in.
"Does everybody know the rules?" Rosalie asked, looking mainly at Edward and Alice.
Both of their heads nodded. "Now we get ten minutes to think of a secret. After those ten minutes are over, we will play rock, paper, scissors to decide what order that we will all be going in. Got it?"
All of our heads bobbed up and down. "Okay then. Let's start thinking," Rosalie told everybody.
The room got quiet as everybody started to think of what they were about to say.
What was my secret? I searched everywhere in my brain for a secret, but I couldn't think of anything, except for one. But that secret is just too… deep. Nobody knows about it. I then remembered that I usually always hated this game whenever we played because I never had anything that wasn't bad. All of my secrets were usually always extreme, and I would periodically turn beet red. But that was the whole point of the game. I sighed.
I was just going to try to make something up. But before my brain could start working for a cover up, Rosalie stood up and said in a loud voice, "Times up! It's time for rock, paper scissors!"
What?! I didn't even get to think of a plan yet! I sighed in a frustrated tone before holding out my fist.
"Whoever is out first then they have to go. Rock, paper, scissors," Emmett said.
We all got rock except for Alice and Emmett. I chuckled to myself as both of their mouths turned into a pout.
"Rock, paper, scissors," Alice said pounding her fist into the air. She squealed in delight when her hand went into paper form, while Emmett's hand was in rock form.
We all sat back waiting for Emmett's secret. "Come on, Em. Spill it out," I said when Emmett wouldn't say anything.
Em let out a deep breath. "Okay, you promise you won't laugh?"
"We can't make a secret that we are sure to break, honey," Rose soothed, trying her hardest to hide the smile that was on her lips.
"Well, I was uh, sort of, um, kissed…" Emmett stopped and looked over at Rosalie to see she wasn't smiling anymore. He looked around at us, and stopped on me. Emmett's big puppy dog eyes were pleading me, asking for help. I just motioned my hand for him to continue.
Emmett then looked down on the ground and said quickly, "Iwaskissedbyaguylastsummer."
Jasper put his hand to his ear and leaned over to Em. "Say what now?"
Emmett groaned. "I just said it!" he whined.
"I wasn't sure if I was hearing correctly either," Rosalie said. She was grinning at him. "Just repeat it one more time, and more slow and clear this time."
Emmett let out another breath. "I was kissed by a guy last year."
His eyes were still on the ground. All of our jaws were hanging in disbelief. Exactly when Emmett looked up, everybody started cracking up.
"Ohmigosh! Are you serious?" Rosalie asked, gasping for breath.
Emmett nodded. "My poor baby!" Rosalie exclaimed, hugging him.
He flashed us a wide grin, before hugging her back. I was still doubled up in laughter, rolling on the carpeted floor. "Ow!" I said through giggles. "My sides hurt."
"That's what you get for laughing so hard," Emmett said.
"What happened?" asked Jasper.
"Well, me and my family were in Florida, at the beach. A guy came up to me and we started to talk. I had thought that he wanted to be friends, so we started to hang out. Then one day, when we were at a restaurant eating lunch, he kissed me," Emmett explained, his face scrunching up from the memory.
"What did you do?" Edward asked.
"I avoided him for the rest of the trip there." Emmett said.
I chuckled softly and put my arm around his shoulder. "That's why you were so distant to Jasper when you came back. Thank goodness you're your old self again."
Emmett looked to Rosalie and asked, using his puppy dog eyes, "Am I forgiven?"
Rosalie threw her head back and laughed. When she was done laughing, she looked down. "Of course."
Emmett's usual wide grin was on his face again. He leaned in and gave Rosalie a peck on the lips once… twice… three times… And it went on like this forever. Finally, they gave into kissing each other and started to kiss like they were going to start a make out session.
"Come on, not here you guys," I exclaimed, covering my eyes like they were being blinded.
Emmett and Rosalie finally pulled away from each other and grinned at us. "Sorry," Emmett whispered nudging his elbow into my rib.
"Ouch!" I yelped, hugging my rib in pain. Emmett thought he was nudging, but to me it felt like jabbing.
"Okay, Alice, you're next," Rosalie said. All of our heads turned to Alice's direction.
She looked around and grinned. "I have a doll collection that I dress up and make over."
My jaw dropped. Was she serious?
Alice burst out laughing. "I'm sorry, but your faces are so hilarious!"
I looked around, and saw that everyone practically had on the same expression that as on my face. I let out a small bubble of laughter. Edward looked over at me and grinned when he noticed everybody's faces too.
"Let's play again to decide the rest," Rosalie announced. Alice and Emmett relaxed on their butts, while the rest of us had to lean in and play again.
"Rock, paper, scissors!" I said.
We all shaped our hands into our forms. Edward and I had our hands shaped into rocks while Jasper and Rosalie had theirs shaped into scissors. They both turned to each other, and pounded their fists into the air again. Rosalie won, making Jasper go next. He sighed.
"My turn," he said trying to stall.
"Just out with it Jasper," Rosalie ordered.
"I am a Star Wars nerd. I have all the action figures and movies stashed into my closet," Jasper quickly told us.
"That was lame, Jasper," Emmett said, punching him on the shoulder.
Jasper only shrugged and grinned. "That's the darkest secret I've got."
I laughed. "That secret sucked."
"I know," he answered.
"Rose, you're next," said Emmett. He rubbed his hands together like an evil professor.
Rosalie glared at him. She took a few deep breaths before saying what she was about to say. "Okay, I've never told anybody this and nobody knows this, but I know that you guy will all keep this only between us."
Rose took one last breath before saying, "When I was younger, I had been playing outside by myself, while my dad and his friends were watching a football game. After a while, I had gone inside and found them all drunk. When I went upstairs to my room, I didn't know that one of my dad's friends were following me. When he asked to come in, I let him since he was an adult. The guy secretly locked the door, and…"
Rosalie trailed off; the tears in her eyes were on the verge of spilling over. "He raped me," she said in a soft whisper.
I didn't know why, but my head turned to look over at Emmett. His face was pale. Before I knew it, he stood up abruptly and headed out towards the door.
"Emmett, what are you doing?" Rosalie asked, jumping up and following him.
I stood up quick and motioned for Jasper to follow.
"Stay here," I said, directing the order to Alice and Edward. They both just nodded silently, while Jasper and I ran outside.
Emmett was getting into his jeep by now, with Rosalie pleading, with tears streaming down her face.
"Emmett stop!" I yelled in a firm and confident voice.
He looked over at me and glared. "You can't stop me Bella."
"Yes I can!"
I walked over to his car, thankfully without hurting myself and opened his door.
"Emmett, you just need to cool down. You don't need to stoop this low to beat someone up. It was a long time ago, and you don't know what you're going to do. You will probably do something so stupid that will get you in jail," I said.
Emmett glanced over at Rosalie who was being comforted by Jasper.
"If you hurt yourself, you will hurt Rose even more, and you don't want to hurt her do you?"
He looked over again, but his stare was softer. "He raped her," whispered Emmett.
"I know, and I will talk to Rose about telling her parents to do something about it, but right now, we have to go inside and you have no choice but to just stay calm. Got it?"
Emmett hesitated before nodding.
"Come here, bear," I said, pulling the big softie into my arms. "She's going to be fine. Just don't get yourself in trouble because of something in the past okay? It will only hurt you and everybody around you."
I felt Emmett nod his big head. "Okay, let's go inside now."
Emmett hopped out of his jeep and ran over to Rosalie, giving her a big hug. His mouth was moving like he was whispering something in her ear. She said something back and they kissed.
I smiled at Jasper and said, "Good job mate!"
We shook hands, grinning at each other.
"Okay let's go in."
The four of us walked back inside the house and into the living room to where Alice and Edward were waiting.
"Sorry you guys, it was a bit of an emergency," Jasper said, sitting down next to Alice.
I looked over at Edward, to see that he was watching me. Instead of turning away like he usually did, Edward just continued to stare. I sat down next to him and smiled.
"Is Rosalie okay?" he asked.
I nodded. "It's our turn to play rock, paper, scissors now."
I held up my fist, getting ready to beat Edward's butt. I had spoken too soon, because after our three little games, Edward had one.
I scowled and looked down at the ground. Breathe, Bella, I soothed myself. It's not that bad.
"Come on Bells, just say it," Emmett teased. He had cooled down a lot, because now, he had Rosalie in his lap.
"I'm uh, not, um… a…" my voice traveled off before I finished the sentence's last word in a whisper, "Virgin."
"What?!" Emmett yelled.
I looked over and glared at him. You promise, I mouthed.
Emmett's face was turning red with anger. "Bella! You can't expect me to keep calm about that! Who was he?"
I turned my head down and stared at my crossed legs.
"No way," Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper said in unison, disbelief in all of their voices.
"You're kidding me right Bells?" Rose beseeched.
I shook my head, slowly.
"Your turn Edward," I said, trying to get the attention off of me.
"Um, oh, uh, okay," Edward stuttered. He was clearly surprised by my command.
"Well, I use to have this girlfriend. She and I had dated for many months already, but something happened. Alice, you remember Tanya, don't you?"
I glanced over at Alice to see her nodding her head.
Edward continued, "Well she didn't really break up with me because she didn't like me anymore. She, um, sort of broke up with me because she had caught me cheating on her."
My breath caught, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. My jaw dropped and my eyes were wide. No way. Edward was not that kind of person. He would never do that to a girl. Would he? I mean, I didn't know him that well, but I was so sure that Edward wasn't like those guys. But that was just assuming. I should've known from the start. Anger flooded through me, and I narrowed my eyes at him. I guess we wouldn't be friends after all.
"I think I'm going to go to bed Alice," I said, in an emotionless tone.
Alice looked over at me. "But it's only ten thirty," she said.
"I know, but I guess the dinner got me tired."
"Okay. Do you want me and Alice to go with you?" Rosalie asked concern in her voice.
"No, you guys stay and have fun. I'll be fine."
I walked upstairs into Alice's room, and climbed into the sleeping bag that Alice had laid out onto the floor. Why did all of the good guys have to be such jerks? I asked myself. I just couldn't believe that Edward was one of them. Why did I always feel a warm feeling when I was around him then? I hadn't felt this feeling ever since he was in my life. But I couldn't help but notice, that the feeling with Edward was stronger than the one with him. I sighed in exasperation. Was I a jerk magnet or what?
A while later, my mind started to ease out, not much frustration left. Right when I was about to doze off, one thought hit me like a punch in the gut.
Would I ever forgive Edward?
"Rise and shine!" Alice acclaimed.
"Go wake up Rose," I mumbled, still wanting to sleep.
"I'm already awake," Rosalie said.
I let out a loud sigh and turned over in the sleeping bag.
"Come on! We even slept later than you!" Alice whined.
"Fine," I yelled, wriggling out of my sleeping bag. When I stood up, I tripped over Alice's pillow and fell on the floor.
"It's too early for this," I said out loud.
I heard Rosalie and Alice giggling. "You're clothes are on the bed," Alice informed before she and Rosalie walked out the door, "Food is downstairs and we have a guest."
I trudged into the bathroom, got a quick shower and brushed my teeth. After I got changed into the new clothes, I wandered downstairs. I didn't know how hungry I was until I looked at all of the food that Alice had sprawled out onto a long table inside the kitchen. There were fruit, waffles, granola bars, cereal, oatmeal, sausage, and many more. I looked around some more, before picking out two halves of blueberry bagels. I smeared cream cheese over both of them, (mmmm lol there they are) before heading out into patio to where everybody was sitting. I took a seat as far away from Edward as possible.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked Emmett and Jasper before taking a bite out of the delicious bagel.
"Alice invited us over again," Emmett explained, putting one a whole sausage into his mouth and chewing.
I nodded. "Cool."
I looked around and noticed a girl staring at me.
I smiled. "Hi, I'm Bella," I said to her.
She was beautiful. Her figure was to die for. Her body was slender, and I could tell that she was way taller than me. Her wavy brown hair was loose, flowing in the morning breeze. She had blue eyes were in a very bright hue. They were even brighter than Alice's, but both were just as breathtaking.
The girl smiled. "I'm Kendyll, but you can call me Kendy," she said, introducing herself.
I extended my hand so that I could shake her hand.
"Nice meeting you," I said politely.
"You too. I bet you're wondering who I am and what I'm doing here. I'm Edward and Alice's cousin. I just moved in here with them. I finally got my mom to take me out of boarding school, but I was only allowed to get out if I stayed with Carlisle and his family. And yes, I'm going to be here for the rest of the year," Kendy said in a gorgeous English accent.
"Wow, I didn't even ask anything," I said.
"The guys had asked those questions, and I was just assuming that you would want to know the same," she explained.
I grinned. "Well, that did answer them.
"Good."
After the group and I chatted with Kendy about her life for a while, I headed into the kitchen to put my plate in the sink. I didn't notice that somebody had followed me until I heard the door open again after I had already closed it.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Edward's voice said from behind me.
I froze and slowly turned around.
