Chapter 5

BPOV

I was lying in my room listening to music when I heard a knock on my door. "Hey B you want to talk?" "Hey, sure I guess." "Alright so whats bugging you?" "I just miss home. I can't wait for Jess and Tyler to get here tomorrow but I miss everybody else too, somedays I wish I could go back and change what I did so I didn't have to come here but then I know that I would have never met any of you and that makes me sad too. I don't know what to do." "Bells there's a boy isn't there?" "Yeah I guess but it isn't anyone in this house." I hope he couldn't tell I was lying. "I promise '.' that it isn't anybody you know." "Don't lie to me Bella I know who you like." "Who?" Well it's not Edward because that would be just weird and its not Mike cause we beat him up today and he is a crazy ass stalker, and it can't be anybody that you didn't meet today." "That doesn't say anything you just know who I don't like." "Okay well then just tell me who it is." "Okay well it's..." I paused I don't want to say anything Jazz. It will be too weird after, if you happen to tell him by accident then I will feel like an idiot and besides he doesn't like me back. Bells it's okay I know you like Em. I looked up at him shocked. I can see the way you look at him and you wouldn't have made him your fake boyfriend today if you didn't like him. Okay fine I do but he doesn't like me and besides it would be too weird if we dated. Why? I was about to answer when I heard Esme call us for dinner. Sorry Jazz maybe I'll tell you later. He nodded and we both left my room.

Over dinner Esme told everybody that my friends were coming down tomorrow and staying in the guest room at the end of the hall. I am extremely excited to see Tyler and Jess tomorrow we have been best friends for as long as I can remember. I made up some random excuse about being tired and wanted to be well rested for tomorrow and made my way to bed.

EMPOV

We heard the girls pull into the drive way and walk in the door laughing. I was glad she was liking it here. I am still mad she made that bet without telling me first because I am apart of it and I don't want to be any where near Lauren. I hope she wins because then I wont have to be any where near Lauren.

I watched Bella walk in with her bags and run up to her room, then come running back downstairs into the kitchen to talk to Esme and Carlisle. We were about to put on a movie when Bella came out to the kitchen and Edward stood up and asked Bella to watch it movie but she kept making up an excuse why she couldn't and ran upstairs. Everybody turned and looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders.

Hey I'll be right back. Everybody looked over at Jasper. The bathroom. He walked out of the room and headed towards the bathroom.

Alice looked over at me and sighed. What do you want Pixie? She glared at me and I laughed. I want to know what is going on between you and Bella? Nothing is going on with Bella and I she made up that lie so Mike would get off her back today. She sighed and I looked back over at her. It's the truth Alice what more do you want from me? I want you to admit that you like her. I don't like her though. She glared at me and I tried again. I only like her as a friend. Besides she probably has a boyfriend back home and I don't want a girlfriend they are too annoying for my liking. Edward laughed and Rose smacked the back of his head. He turned to her and started to apoligize to her and it gave Alice more time to bug me about Bella. Emmett why are you mad at her she will win this bet. How do you know Alice? You can't see the future. Because she is an all star cheerleader, she was on team U.S.A and was the youngest captain to win NCA Championships believe me you have to be the best to make captain as young as she was and to beat out all the others, that takes talent. So get your facts straight before you get pissed at her.

I didn't even have time to think about what I should say back to Alice because Esme called us to come and eat. At dinner Esme filled us in that Bella's friends were flying in tomorrow and she wanted us to be on our best behaviour. It didn't really matter to me if Bella's friends were coming it would just give me a chance to meet people she really cares about.

After dinner Bella ran straight to her room, saying she was tired and had a big day tomorrow. I knew it wasn't the truth and it looked like everybody else did too.

Hey, Em help me with something for a second. I looked over and Jasper and he nodded towards the door. Yeah sure J. I followed him towards the garage door not really knowing what he wanted. We got to the garage Jasper sat down on the bench. What's up J? Look dude, do you care about Bella? Yeah; she's my friend of course I care about her. Why? No I didn't mean it that way Em and you know it, and because you are making her feel like you don't care about her because she thinks you don't trust her to win this bet and she hates that you are mad at her. Did she actually tell you this Jasper or did your little Pixie tell you to say something to me? Look neither of them said anything to me but I can see it on her face ever since she made that bet you have been giving her the cold shoulder except after Mike put his hands on her, and that's because you felt guilty that you werent there to protect her. Damn Jasper was right in more then one way. I did care about Bella, more then a friend should and I was hurting her by being hot and cold with her I need to tell her how I feel, and maybe just maybe she feels the same way about me.

-NEXT DAY-

BPOV

I can't believe it, today is the day I get to see my girls! I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to see Esme in the kitchen making breakfast. Morning Esme.

Good morning Bella. Are you going to school today or do you have to head right to the airport? I'm going to go school until lunch but then I need to leave to go get Tyler and Jessica. I really am thankful that you are letting them come and stay with us. It means a lot to me. Oh Bella you should know by now that it isn't a problem. She came around the counter and gave me a hug. Now eat breakfast then you can go get ready. She gave me a plate with bacon and eggs and went to get another plate ready for Alice and Edward.

Just as I started eating Alice came running into the kitchen. MOM! I CAN'T FIND MY BLUE TANK TOP! YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT I GOT LAST WEEK WHEN ROSE AND I WENT SHOPPING! OH WHAT IF I LEFT IT AT THE STORE IM SURE I BOUGHT IT THOUGH! ALICE! Alice looked over at Esme and smiled. Lower your voice and it's hanging up in the laundry room it was lying on your floor so I put it in the wash. Alice ran over and hugged her mom. But before you go running threw the house and waking your father up eat some breakfast. Don't worry Esme I'm already awake. I heard Alice screaming her head off about a shirt. Carlisle walked into the kitchen and looked over at Alice who gave him an apologetic smile. He walked over to Esme and gave her a kiss on the cheek and took his coffee out of her hands. Sorry Daddy. He laughed and sat down beside me. Morning Bella. Morning Carlisle. I know you might be mad about this but I want you to take somebody with you when you got to get Jessica and Tyler today. Why? Because I don't want you driving to Seattle alone. I nodded. I don't care who it is I just want somebody to be there to talk to you. Alright I'll find somebody. Oh Bella I'll come with you. Both Esme and Carlisle yelled No pretty fast. Why not you said you don't care who it is that goes with her. Because if you go Alice you will end up making the girls go shopping and I don't want you guys getting home at midnight. Fine that means Rose can't go with them either. That's true so Bella any of the guys can go with you. At that moment Edward walked into the kitchen. Count me out dad I'm taking Rose out tonight, and I think Emmett needs to be there for the end of the day because he cant miss practice. So that means Jasper has to go. Edward stated as he sat down at the table. Oh and before you say anything Alice there is a second string that can fill in for Jazz at practice. Alice, Esme and I all nodded. Then it's settled see if Jasper can go with you and if he cant Esme or myself will since I don't have work today. said Carlisle, he was so set on having somebody go with me that would keep me company. Alright Jasper can come with me I'll ask him at school. Im going to get ready, thanks Esme for breakfast. She nodded and I left to put my plate in the sink.

I walked upstairs to get ready for the day. I decided to wear yoga pants since it was cold and I wanted to be comfortable for the ride to the Seattle Air Port. I decided on my black Hollister yoga pants and my white tank top that say property of Lake Howell's Quarterback. Jess and Tyler made it for me when I started dating Nathan. They would laugh if they seen me wearing it. For some reason I dont miss my old life as much as I thought I would maybe it has something to do with the Cullen's and Emmett, Rose and Jasper. I never thought I would find people like them here. I heard Alice yell my name and I grabbed my bags and walked down the stairs to see her glaring at me. "What Alice?" "Why are you wearing that?" I sighed and rolled my eyes at her. "Because I want too and I can." She glared at me and walked outside. Emmett was already outside with his jeep. "Hey Em. What are you doing here?" "I came to see if you wanted a drive to school." "I would say yes but I'm leaving at lunch to go to Seattle, to pick up my girls." After I said this he looked really sad. "Well how about this...You get a ride with me and you can take my jeep to Seattle." I heard Alice gasp and Emmett glared at her. "I don't know Em I have never drove a jeep before." He sighed. "Okay how about this you come with me in my car and Edward will drive you here after school to get your jeep." He nodded and we walked over to my car with Alice following. "Alice can you go with Edward today?" She smirked and nodded. Emmett walked around to the driver door and opened it for me I smiled at him and shook my head...He is trying waaaaaay too hard. He laughed knowing what I was thinking and got into in the car.

Emmett and I didnt really talk that much on the way to school but it wasnt awakward or anything it was comfortable silence. When we got to school I seen Jasper leaning against his truck talking to Rose. I parked and ran up to him. "JASPER! I NEED A MAJOR FAVOR!" "What's up Bella?" "Is there any possible way you can miss practice today?" "Yeah I can why?" "Well...Esme and Carlisle don't want me to drive to Seattle alone and Alice and Rose arent allowed to come because we would end up going shopping and not getting home till like midnight so they can't come and Edward and Emmett can't miss practice." "Yeah I will come with you. What time are we leaving?" "Lunch. If that's okay." He laughed and nodded and gave Rose his truck keys. I looked over at Rose and she looked really sad. "What's wrong Rose?" "It's nothing...just Jasper gets to meet Team USA cheerleaders before me." "Awe Rose don't worry you will meet them tonight we wont be back late." She laughed and walked over to Edward to give him a kiss. Ew. I really don't want to see somebody kissing my brother. Yes, I concider Edward and Alice my brother and sister and I consider Esme and Carlisle my parents.

Class was extremely boring and I couldn't really focuse because my girls were almost on a plane heading to see me. I couldnt wait. I miss them so much. By the time lunch rolled around I was almost running to my locker to put my books away and grab my purse. I pretty much ran to cafiteria and grabbed Jasper out of his seat and pulled him to my car with the others following behind us. "Okay Jazz say goodbye to Alice and let's go. Fast, fast, fast. We can't be late getting them because that would be really rude and I would hate to blame you and have them hate you." He rolled his eyes and gave Alice a kiss when I suddenly got lifted up. "AH! EMMETT PUT ME DOWN!" He laughed and put me down. "What your not going to say goodbye to me?" I shook my head. "Well then I'm sorry but I can't let you leave then. I want a hug then you can go." "Fine." I gave Emmett a hug when I heard Jasper telling me to hurry up. I laugh and waved bye to everybody else and got in the car. On the ride to the airport Jasper and I talked about pretty much everything including Emmett. I must say I was kind of embarrassed about that but he assured me that Emmett is just worried about me not caring about him but I do. Even if I am scared to admit it. Jasped told me I should talk to him about it but I'm scared that he isn't going to feel the same way. Jasper even spilled some secerts to get Alice not to take me shopping and ways that she always gives in. Damn he is amazing. I'm actually really happy that Jasper came with me some how he has this way of calming me. He is already like my brother I never had. Were so much alike.

"Bella. Are you excited to see them?" We were standing in the airport now waiting for Jess and Tyler. I think I was pretty much jumping up and down but Jasper was laughing so I really didnt care. I was excited to see my bestfriends I haven't seen them in a couple of months but it feels like forever. All of a sudden I seen two girls come running towards me. "AHHHH YOUR HERE!" We were all screaming and jumping around when Jasper grabbed my shoulders to try and calm me down.

"Bells calm down and intruduce me." I looked at him and started laughing. "Okay Jazz these are my best friends Tyler and Jess, Tyler and Jess this is Jasper my foster sisters boyfriend." The girls said hi and Jess whispered in my ear that he was cute. I started laughing and Jasper looked at me wierd. "So Belly Bee any cute boys? Or maybe possibly a boyfriend yet?" I laughed at Tyler and rolled my eyes. "No Small Fry there isnt a boyfriend yet. How is everybody back home?" Tyler glared at me when I called her Small Fry but laughed. She is the shortest girl in our group so we made up the nickname Small Fry and she hates it, but I also hate the name Belly Bee and I still to this day have no idea why people call me it. "Good I guess Nathan is a mess nobody really know why but he has been ever since you left, Max and of course James are good sad that we left but they will get over it." Jess said that a much more about the girls at school and talked about the cheerleading team the whole way home how we kind of sucked now but not enough to lose the NCA Championships thank gosh. Sooner rather then later we were pulling into my new driveway and I told them about Alice on the ride so they were already ready for her and Rose to attack. As soon as we got there Alice and Rose were standing on the poarch. I got out of the front seat of the car and seen Alice and Rose's face light up in a huge smile. I started to laugh and Tyler and Jess got out of the car. Alice booked it off the poarch towards Tyler and Jess Jasper reached out and grabbed her before she could launch and jump on them. I was so happy to finally have my best friends home I couldnt even wait for them to meet Emmett.

I looked back at the porch to see Carlisle and Esme standing there smiling at the way everybody was being around each other. I grabbed Tyler and Jess who were still talking to Alice and Rose and pulled them towards the porch. I intruduced them to Carlisle and Esme. While they talked and invited them inside I ran into the living room to see Emmett and Edward playing video games on the couch. I ran over to the tv and shut it off listening to the boys yell. "Em can you and Edward go and bring the girls bags upstairs please?" I gave Emmett a puppy dog look and he nodded and pulled Edward outside. I heard laughing and turned around to see the girls and Esme standing there.

"Girl you already have Emmett whipped." I laughed and nodded at Rose. While I heard Tyler whisper to Jess that Emmett was hot and completely my type. I rolled my eyes and laughed.
"Come on girls were all sleeping in the basement tonight and watching movies." We ran upstairs to change and decided that we would meet in my room after and go downstairs.
