A/N: I am super sorry for the long wait. Life got in the way and I've been struggling to keep up with homework and all that stuff. This chapter was also a pain in the ass, I've been writing it for three months. I really don't like it and i would have prefered skipping over it, but I think it would be good for some background info. The next chapter will be up sooner than this, for sure. Now that everything is calm, i can get back to work, Hope you enjoy.
Video
"This is Rosalie Hale speaking. We are all here today to finally start our documentary. The Bella Swan Project."
"More like the Bella Whale project." I could barely recognize that as Lauren's voice.
"Anyway, Alice Brandon has been kind enough to do the honors." The camera was turned to face Alice. Her hands on the steering wheel tensed and she turned to the camera. She stuck her tongue out to the camera and made a gagging noise. "Now now Alice. You picked the shortest straw so it's fair."
"Yeah, but it doesn't mean I like it. At least you don't have to pretend to like her." Alice replied, shoving her long hair behind her shoulder.
"Look, there she is." The camera spun around and I saw the window being rolled down, revealing my former self.
I saw as I 'gracefully' made my way into the school. I stumbled on the curb and I heard the word 'loser' being said into the camera.
"Let's get this over with." Alice mumbled.
I paused the video and glared at the T.V. I had no idea that the filming had started before prom night. I couldn't believe how heart less they could have been to humiliate me like that, but making a whole documentary just took it too far.
I could feel my eyes begin to water at the thought of what they could have gotten. I pressed play once again and sat back on the couch.
…
The camera fumbled around as Rosalie exited Alice's car.
"Come on, hurry up before we lose her." Rosalie yelled back.
"It's not like she's gonna disappear, I mean just look at her." Alice mumbled as she walked past Rosalie. She made a sudden turn and looked at the camera. "Let me get this straight, this is a dare. I am in no way romantically involved with that walrus."
She then turned and walked away to the school.
"Come on Alice, it's just a joke. No one will think badly of you." Rosalie started running toward Alice, the camera facing toward the floor.
I heard mumbling, but it wasn't coherent. The camera moved up again to reveal a smiling Alice.
"There's that smile, now come on. We may have lost her." Rosalie started running once again.
The movement slowed down once again, and the camera was lifted slowly. I could see myself at my locker, putting my books up. My shirt was ridden up, revealing me in all my glory.
"Look, there she is." Lauren half giggle half whispered. I had completely forgotten that she was there.
"I know, look at her rolls." Rosalie giggled. "I bet that's where my homework was lost."
I could distinctly hear Alice's giggle ring. It made me hate her more.
The bell rang and I could see my former self slam my locker shut and race to class.
…
The video was cut off and the blue screen came up again. I wiped the tears of anger that had formed in my eyes away as I stood up to eject the disc. If I saw anymore, I was sure that I would go through with my plan. I didn't want to. I didn't want to be run by vengeance. Her life now was more than enough punishment.
As I got to the DVD player, the video started up again.
… A few more seconds wouldn't hurt.
…
The camera was pointed straight at my bent form. I was retrieving my books after dropping them. This was when she had asked me to prom.
"Go on Alice, we said right after gym." Lauren giggled.
"You guys can't be serious, I mean, look at her. She's huge, I wouldn't even think about it if I were a male and drunk." Alice whined.
"You promised, and this is your dare of the year. Everyone else had done theirs except you." Rosalie shot back.
"I know, but no one had to do one as bad as this… here goes nothing." Alice mumbled.
She was pushed forward, toward me.
I was still trying to gather all my books before she had gotten there. I clearly remembered that.
"I wish we could get closer." Rosalie sighed impatiently.
"It'll be more obvious." Lauren chided her.
Alice walked up to me and smiled down at me. I looked up and shyly smiled back. Alice started speaking to me with the same smile planted on her face.
My face looked shocked and I'm pretty sure that was the moment she had asked me. My former self looked everywhere, trying to come up with an excuse, but came up with nothing. There were a few more words interchanged between us before Alice smiled at me and skipped away toward the camera.
"Score!" She squealed, jumping up and down with her friends.
"She believed you?" Lauren laughed.
"Well of course she believed her." Rosalie pointed the camera to Alice. "So was that as bad as you thought it would be?"
Alice's eyes focused on the camera and she smiled.
"No, and I wouldn't be surprised if Hollywood called in tomorrow after my star performance." She threw her hair over her shoulders and walked away.
Lauren and Rosalie laughed and followed her.
…
The blue screen appeared again and I was taken out of my trance. My resolve was broken and I needed to see more. Not that I would use it as an excuse to get revenge. This was strictly curiosity.
I pressed the fast forward button until the video started again.
…
The camera was shaking and I could hear laughter in the background. There was a slight glare coming from a car window.
"That's like the fifth dress she's tried on in this store." Lauren laughed out.
The camera moved up again and it stilled. I had just come out of the dressing room with another disappointed look, that dress hadn't fit me either.
"I bet you they don't even have her size." Rosalie laughed.
"Maybe the next dress she tries on will tear like the last store." Alice joked in the background.
The camera zoomed in on the store and I could see myself looking around hopelessly for a dress. I skimmed through all the dresses until I found one that clearly wouldn't fit me. I looked around for a sales person and handed them the dress for a room.
I remembered ripping the back of a dress that I had tried on in Banana Republic. I was completely devastated when I had to tell the sales clerk.
I soon disappeared into the dressing room, not being able to find anything else.
"Ten bucks say she gets a dress from here." Lauren says.
"Ten bucks she doesn't." Rosalie snorted. "That dress had to be the biggest here and it still didn't look like it fit."
"Yeah, but isn't this a store for fat people? There should be something for her." Alice spoke from the side.
The camera was turned back to her. She was slouched in her seat, picking at her nails.
"So Alice, what has been on your mind lately? Felling nervous?" Rosalie questioned Alice.
"No, I just can't wait to get this over with. The sooner the better." Her head snapped up. "I hope you guys know that this is totally ruining my prom."
"Hey you went last year for junior prom. You've already had the experience." Lauren countered her argument. "Plus Jasper told me that Prom is going to be THE night."
Alice's head shot up and the comment. "Really?" She blushed at her forwardness. " I mean he said he wanted to wait until… you know."
"Well he isn't anymore so perk up." Rosalie shot in.
…
The screen went blue for what seemed like the tenth time. I wasn't surprised to see that they had filmed my quest for a dress. It did hurt to know that they saw the entire struggle I had gone through just to find a fitting dress, but what can you do?
There was at least one scene left in this entire video. I knew that it wasn't going to be pretty, but I had relived it for three years, a few more minutes wouldn't hurt.
…
The camera was pointed forward toward a familiar yellow car, driving along the highway.
"I knew we should have left your house earlier. We didn't even get to see them come out of the house." Lauren complained.
"Well if you and Jasper hadn't been sexing it up, we wouldn't be in this position." Rosalie snapped. "I still can't believe you'd let Jasper cheat on Alice with you."
"He came on to me, and plus a girl has needs, and he was willing to help." Lauren countered. "Where is he anyway?"
"He went with Felix to pick up something at Walgreens, and I think you know exactly what I mean cause he used his only one on you. We're picking them up on the way." Rosalie's voice was hostile and I could tell she wasn't pleased with her friend's unfaithfulness. "Damnit Lauren, that was stupid of you. This is Alice we are talking about, she's my best friend and this doesn't make me happy."
"Hey, all the blame can't be put on me, Jasper did it too." She paused. "Is this recording?"
The camera shifted showing a surprised Lauren.
"Yes, but don't worry, we can record over this." Rosalie still sounded annoyed. "I think you should tell Alice about this. It isn't right that you took advantage of Jasper's blue balls."
"I swear that if you tell Alice, I will tell everyone that you had and still have a crush on HER." Lauren emphasized the her.
"You promised you wouldn't. That would ruin my reputation and ." She huffed.
"Well then, if you don't want to end up sitting in the bathroom with Bella at lunch, then I suggest that you don't tell anyone." Lauren shot back.
"Whatever." Rosalie whispered. "Just pay attention to the road, we're getting there soon."
….
To say I was surprised would be an understatement. The Rosalie Hale, the woman who probably slept with the whole baseball team, was gay. Well, bisexual at least, but anyway. To think that I went through my whole high school career feeling all alone made me even angrier than before.
And don't get me started on Lauren and Jasper. I can't say that I'm too surprised, but I would think that Alice kept her man in check better than that. Jasper had always seemed like a sleeze bag, but to sleep with his girlfriend's best friend was the lowest of lows. I could definitely use this to my advantage; I just needed to figure out how.
Yet, wouldn't Alice have found out if she had watched this? I would think she would have the decency to break up with the bastard. It made me wonder whether she felt guilty of pulling this over me, therefore found it wrong to watch it… Pshh, yeah right.
I ran a hand through my hair flabbergasted with everything I didn't know and just found out. Filming me while I was trying on dresses seemed like a pretty stockerish thing to do, and I was a lawyer for crying out loud. There had to be something I could charge them for, I just had to look it up.
….
The camera zoomed in on two figures exiting a yellow car. I could easily see myself, as I was the only person there that looked like a whale.
"Oh my gosh, is that a tear in her dress?" Jasper drunkenly laughed from somewhere to the side.
"Yeah, she probably couldn't find a dress the right size." Lauren laughed as well.
"Guys, we have to park and get out. Alice's reservations ends in a few hours and we have to get her the room keys." Rosalie stated, I could tell she was still annoyed.
"Yeah, let's go." Lauren laughed.
The camera was pointed down as the group made their way to the hotel. There were few words shared between them, most of them being insults directed toward me about my weight and appearance… original.
The camera was immediately shot up and directed at Alice and I signing at the small table situated in front of the escalator. Alice made a charming comment and all the teachers started to laugh. I could throw up at just the sight.
"Do you think the teachers will let us take the camera inside?" Rosalie questioned. "They seem to be kind of strict about what we bring into the dance this year."
"Whatever, it's called hiding." Lauren shot at her.
The group was on the move again as they made their way to the table. Rosalie brought the camera behind her back as they signed in.
"And who are you taking this year Rosalie?" Mr. Banner asked.
"I'm taking Felix Ares. He's in the bathroom." She replied sweetly.
"And Lauren, who will you be taking this year?" Mr. Banner asked Lauren.
"I'm taking Jasper Whitlock." I could hear the smugness in her voice.
"You guys just met your friends Alice and Bella. They were here just minutes before you got here." He told them before they headed off for the ballroom.
"Aw thanks for the heads up Mr. Banner. I was hoping we could all get here at the same time." Lauren said before Rosalie could say anything.
They all said their goodbyes and walked toward the escalator. Rosalie pointed the camera down at the floor where I could see Felix running toward them with something in his hand. He caught up to them smiling.
"I got them. Room 213." He spread them out revealing two cards. He handed one to Jasper. "One for you." The other to me. "Give this to Alice."
"Guys I don't think we should go through with this. I feel kind of bad just setting this whole thing up." Rosalie said from behind the camera.
"Oh no you don't. We had a deal." Jasper said. "Here just drink this, it'll calm the nerves."
Jasper pulled a silver flask from his sock and handed it to the person holding the camera, Rosalie.
"You know I don't drink." Rosalie pushed it back. "It'll ruin my figure."
"Stop being such a pissy face. Just drink it." He said, rudely I might add.
"Fine." Rosalie mumbled back.
I could tell by their interaction that they weren't as strong as a group as they put themselves out to be. They lacked in conversation skills and all they did was rag on me. That was probably the only reason they were all friends.
I could hear the music in the background as they made their way into the ballroom.
"Where do you think they are?" Lauren yelled.
"They're coming over." Rosalie pointed the camera toward Alice and I. "Here Felix, take the camera and make sure she can't see it."
I could already hear the affect of the alcohol in her voice. I'm guessing she didn't drink much.
The camera was clumsily handed to Felix just as we got to them. Alice greeted everyone, with a big smile on her face. I was standing in the back, oblivious as to what was going to occur.
The camera zoomed in on Rosalie and Alice. It was the exact moment of the Room Key hand off. It was much more noticeable from this angle. Rosalie smiled at Alice and pulled the flask to her lips for another sip.
"Give me that!" Jasper exclaimed with a slight slur. "I don't want you ogling my woman."
The camera pointed to the crowd of people dancing. Alice could be seen rubbing herself against me. As she turned around and rubbed her butt into my stomach, I could see her roll her eyes at the camera. Jasper laughed at this and gave her a thumbs up. Me, I was standing there awkwardly, attempting to move to the bass of the song. I of course failed miserably and ended up making myself worse than usual.
"Tell Alice to hurry up. Prom ends soon and I have to be home by two." Lauren said impatiently.
"I know, just let my girl take her time." Jasper countered back.
The song ended and Alice pulled me to the table to get a drink. She whispered some words into my ears and I was pretty sure that if the lighting was better, you could see my blush. I was pulled to the ballroom doors and soon disappeared.
"Come on, we have to take the stairs and get there first." Felix rushed as they ran to the door.
The camera was moved here and there as they ran to the stair well. Nothing was clear until they got the floor. They quickly searched for the room and listened against the door for sound. When they were clear, they quickly put the key in and ran in.
"Behind the couch." Jasper whispered. "Don't laugh or make any noise. Does this have a recording light?"
"Yeah, ri-right next to the lense." Rosalie slurred.
"They're here." Lauren giggled just as the door was open.
Jasper moved the camera up and pointed it at the door.
I walked in first, looking shy as ever. Alice followed and closed the door shut, leaning against it with a smirk.
"Alone at last." She said in her 'sexy' voice.
"Yep, I guess we are." I muttered.
"You aren't getting shy on me now, are you?" Alice giggled, but I could tell she was trying to hold in a laugh.
"No it's just… oh I don't know. I'm talking too much aren't I?" I stuttered. What a loser.
"Shh, just don't ruin this for me." She slowly stalked to me and brought me down to her level.
I noticed for a few minutes something I had noticed back then. She didn't go anywhere near my mouth. I was pushed slowly toward the bed and like the loser I was, jumped in surprise when we hit the bed.
With much force from her, she pushed me onto the bed and struggled to get on top of my big from. She gave me a series of kisses until she had enough.
"Strip." She commanded me. I could hear the stifled laughter of the people behind the couch.
I awkwardly stood in the middle of the room, wondering where to start first. I could see myself struggling with my comfort level.
"Go nice and slow for me, ok?" She lay back on the bed and crossed her legs looking directly at the camera.
I could see myself shyly pulling my straps down and quickly pulling them back up as Alice laughed at the camera. She shook her head and motioned to my former self to continue.
I struggled to pull the straps down along with the zipper, but I eventually did it.
My back rose in a deep breath before the dress fell to the floor.
I was disgusted with what I saw. I could see the layers of fat on my back and the sides of my body. Alice was looking straight at the camera with the biggest smile I could ever see.
….
The tears flowed freely by now. I was disgusted with both myself and Alice and her evil minions. How could I have let myself become like that? How could people be so cruel?
I slowly walked to the DVD player and took the disc out. I was beyond reason now and I wasn't going to back down. They will ALL get my revenge. I didn't know how I was going to get back at the others, but Alice and Jasper were first.
They will all regret the day they even thought of making a mockery of me.
...
A/N: I hop that was okay for you guys, I again say it wasn't all that good in my opinion, but it was the best I could do. I think to whole video thing was kind of awkward and I made it seem like Bella was actually there instead of watching a video. I hope you guys understood it. R&R!
