Chapter 3
BPOV
(An hour or so later...)
"What the hell am I supposed to do? Edward swore he wasn't going to drink much!" Jasper mumbled.
Everyone had had too much to drink; especially Emmett and Edward. I of course, had nothing to drink at all, so I was fine. Alice was a tad less drunk than Emmett and Edward, and Jasper and Rosalie were a little better than Alice. I didn't want any of them driving though. I had an idea.
"If you want, I can drive home and you guys can stay the night at our house. We have enough room, if Alice and I share a room," I told him.
He looked over at Edward and Rosalie, as if trying to decide whether that was a good idea. Edward looked more than just a little drunk and Rosalie was beginning to slur her words.
"I guess that's probably best. I may be least drunk... but I'm not entirely sure I'm good to drive," he said.
"Yeah, I agree. I honestly don't want any of you driving. Anyway, we're going to need to leave sometime soon. It's going to be hard enough as is to get them to the car."
"Let's get them now, then."
I realized my truck could only fit three people. Crap.
"How many people does your car hold?"
"It's not mine, it's Edward's Volvo, but it holds five. Why?"
"My truck only fits three. Think Edward would mind if I drove you guys in his Volvo? We'd have to squeeze, but it's better than my truck."
"Probably not, it's not like he has a choice."
Jasper and I gathered the others and took them outside into the cool air. Edward had the keys to his Volvo, but wouldn't give them up. I ended up having to get them from his pocket.
"No! I per-perfect-ly f-fine to driveee," all of his words slurred.
"I don't think so Edward, just get in the car," I told him.
I got in the driver's seat of the Volvo. Edward got in the passenger seat, and the other four got in the back. They had to all squish together. They started out squished together at least. By the time we got home, Rosalie was looking out the window sitting on Emmett's lap. Emmett and Edward both seemed to be asleep, and Jasper and Alice were just looking at each other, not saying anything.
Once Rosalie, Alice and Jasper were out of the car, Jasper and I helped Edward and Emmett out. I grabbed Emmett's arm, and helped him to his feet. His body leaned heavily against me as I lead him to the door. I sat him down in one of the chairs by the door so I could unlock the door. I opened the door and lead them all into the family room.
"Okay, Emmett obviously you can sleep in your own room. Jasper can have the guest room. Edward can sleep on the couch. Or the other way around, whatever works. Rosalie, you can sleep in my room and Alice, I'll share with you," I said.
"Dat's good with me," Edward said.
"I just need something to sleep in," Rosalie said.
"No you don't Rose, you don't need anything, if you know what I mean," Emmett mumbled. I smacked his arm.
"Of course, Rosalie, you can borrow something of mine," I offered. "Anyone else need anything for bed tonight?"
Mumbled nopes all around. I showed everyone to their rooms. After I laid some pajamas on the bed for Rosalie, I grabbed myself a pair, and headed to the bathroom. I got ready then went to Alice's room.
We shared her room instead of mine because her queen sized bed was big enough for the two of us, whereas my twin wasn't. She was already in bed when I came in., still fully dressed.
"Alice..."
"Hmm?"
"Did you brush your teeth?" I knew I was being like her mom, but she would complain in the morning if her mouth tasted gross.
"Yep."
"Don't lie, you're still dressed too."
"Fine." She got up and walked to the closet.
"Um, Alice? Where are you going?"
"The bathroom."
"Alice, that's the closet. Open your eyes."
"Oh." She giggled.
I walked with her down the hall to the bathroom. Half because I wanted to see Edward, and the other half because I wasn't quite sure she could make it, even if she did live here.
Edward was lying on the couch, still fully dressed, but sound asleep. I went and got a blanket from the hall closet, knowing he would be cold later. I draped it over him, and he smiled slightly.
"Goodnight, Edward," I whispered.
When Alice was done, we went back to her room, and went to bed.
I woke up the next morning and it was around noon. I went to the bathroom, showered and brushed my hair and teeth. Once I was dressed and ready I walked down the hall, and peeked in each room as I went. Alice, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, they were all still sound asleep. Last was Edward on the couch. He looked so peaceful when he slept.
His eyes were closed, and his mouth was turned up in a tiny smile, same as last night. His arm and one of his legs were hanging off the couch, slightly, exposing his bare leg from under the blanket I had put on him last night. Wait, bare leg? He must've taken his pants off. Sure enough, his pants we on the floor by his feet.
I wonder if he wears boxers or briefs. I thought. Whoa, Bella. Stop. You're going to get yourself in way too deep here.
To get my mind out of the gutter, I decided to make pancakes. I didn't know what kind they would like, so I got out blueberries, apples, and chocolate chips. I would leave a few just plain.
I started the batch in the biggest bowl we had, and doubled the recipe. I took out three tinier bowls and poured some of the batter in each. I cut up the apples into tiny pieces, and then tossed them in one bowl. I put the blueberries in the second, and the chocolate chips in the third. I took out the griddle, and turned it up to where I needed it. Then I set the table, and got out the orange juice and the milk.
As I waited for it to heat up, I decided I would wake them all up. I started with Edward. I walked over to his side, and kneeled down by his head. I shook his shoulder gently, then brushed back his hair.
"Edward..." I muttered.
His eyes fluttered open, then back closed. "Mom?" He asked, sleep-dazed.
I went along with his charade. "Yes, honey, you have to get up. You're going to be late for school! You only have five minutes to get to the bus!" I told him.
"Oh no!" His eyes were still closed but he was starting to get up. "Mom? Where are my pants?" He asked me.
"Shh, Edward, I was kidding. It's me."
He opened his eyes slightly. "Oh, Bella?" He seemed confused.
"Yeah. I'm making breakfast, so I wanted you all up, in case you wanted to shower or anything first."
"Nope," he mumbled. "Wake me when the food is ready." And with that, he leaned back into the couch, and went back to sleep.
Then his eyes opened again. "Wait. Where are my pants?" He asked.
"On the floor by your feet, you must have kicked them off yesterday," I replied as I walked to the hallway.
"Oh, okay," he mumbled. I could tell he would be back to sleep fast.
Next was Rosalie. She got up pretty easily. She wanted to shower, so I found her a towel, and pointed to the direction of the bathroom.
Alice did the same, except I didn't have to point anything out to her. This was our room after all. That meant all the bathrooms were being used.
I went into Emmett's room.
"Alright Drunky McDrunkpants, time to get up," I said.
"Why??" He was whining.
"I'm making breakfast," I told him, knowing that would be all I needed to say.
Sure enough, he got up.
Finally Jasper. This was going to be awkward... I didn't really know Jasper.
I poked my head in his door.
"Jasper?" I asked, hoping he was a light sleeper.
His eyes opened and he looked around the room, then to me. "Yes?"
"Breakfast should be ready soon, if you want to get ready," I told him.
"Okay... thank you. For everything," he was started to get up.
"It's no problem," I replied. I closed the door and left the room.
I walked back to the kitchen. Edward hadn't moved since I left him, so I assumed he was asleep again.
I greased the griddle and made the pancakes. Jasper and Emmett came out both mumbling about not being able to use the bathrooms. Ten or so minutes after, Alice and Rose came out, dressed and ready to go. When they came out, both boys headed to the bathroom. When they came back I was done with all the pancakes, so I put the big stacks on the table.
I pointed to each stack and told them what each type was. Jasper and Alice both took blueberry, and smiled when their hands brushed. Rosalie and Emmett did the same, only with the chocolate chip pancakes.
"Where's Edward?" Someone asked.
"Oh, right. I was supposed to wake him up when the food was done," I told them with a laugh.
I walked over to the backside of the couch and leaned over it.
I shook his shoulder again. "Edward, food's ready."
"Mmkay," he said, and started to get up. He reached down looking for his pants.
I went back to the table. Seconds later, Edward showed up, frowning when he saw there where no seats.
"Oh come on, whiner. I'll eat at the barstools with you," I said.
He smiled, and grabbed some apple pancakes.
"Those are apple."
"I know," he said.
We both sat eating our apple pancakes. Breakfast was silent for all of us, but it wasn't awkward. We ate in peace.
I broke the silence first. "Well, guys, I guess we'll be eating plain pancakes for breakfast tomorrow. To bad I didn't know, I would've made more of these," I gestured to my pancakes.
"God, my head is killing me! Exactly how many beers did I have last night?" Emmett asked.
"Um, I think 10. Maybe more... I don't know. I stopped counting." I said
He just groaned.
"Don't feel too bad, you all drank a lot. Well, except Jasper and I," I told him.
Jasper smiled, and everyone else groaned too.
"We have to go back and pick up your truck, Bella. It's still at the bar," Jasper said.
Oh, right. I had completely forgotten about my truck. Good thing he remembered. If not, they would have left and I would have had no way to get to it.
A/N: There's chapter three... let me know what you think! Also, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask them. I won't bite... :)
I'll try to write and post chapter 4 by the end of the weekend at least. I have finals to study for, so I'm not entirely sure. As of now, none of it is written... but I'll work on it whenever I have time. So hopefully you'll see an update by Sunday.
Oh, one more thing... is there anything you guys want to see happen next? I have an idea for the next two chapters already, but if I get something better I may put it in the story somewhere.
