( Hey all you vampire fans. Some of you were confused on why Bella and Mat were going out on a date. Well here's the answer…jealously savvy. Lol anyway just to remind you the vote on the pirates of Caribbean/twilight crossover ends on the 1st of February. You can see the details and my ideas for the story in chapter ten. But anyway here is chapter eleven!) xxxx
Why do you care?
I hadn't actually realised that today was Saturday so I didn't have to go to school today. Which was defiantly a relief since I'd been dreading going back to school. Then I remembered that I'd promised Elena that she could dress me for my date. Oh godddd she was probably going to make me go shopping for something.
Elena had already left out some clothes on my bed for me to wear today. I felt like she was turning into my mother or something. But she did enjoy playing Barbie Bella so I guess it's okay with me.
I picked up her clothes and pulled on the dark blue pair of skinny jeans. A dark blue tank top that hugged in my body showing off my figure. I'd ever actually worn a tank top before. Back then I thought wearing them was ridiculous since you had to pull the top up every ten minutes. But now wearing one it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I went downstairs drank some coffee and ate a breakfast bar as quickly as I could. Once I'd finished Elena and Jeremy came downstairs. I noticed that Elena was carrying a black purse and her leather jacket with her down the stairs. Jeremy smirked at me and handed me my coat.
" Prepare for a world of pain Bella." he laughed. I couldn't help but smile widely back to him.
Elena rolled her eyes and pulled me over to the door. Before I was out the door I heard Jeremy shout to me " I hope you survive!" Even though I knew that Jeremy had been joking I did feel somewhat scared.
Elena drove us to a huge building that was crowded with teens. We parked in front of the building and went through huge white double doors. The place was huge just like Elena said it was. Almost every shop looked about the size of a small house. I was actually excited about shopping which was weird but oh well.
I smiled the biggest smile I'd smiled since I'd got here. Elena noticed my excitement which made her look as if she was going to explode in happiness. I usual didn't get so happy over shopping but I guess I'd just changed.
Elena led me to a shop filled with expensive designer clothes. I could tell that they were designer because most of the racks had some of the stuff Alice used to wear. It instantly felt bad for Elena because she would have to pay of the stuff got, only because I forgot my purse back home.
" Elena is this really necessary. I mean it's just one date and I don't know if I'm even going to go out with him again." I said as we looked at almost every piece of clothing.
I was telling the truth. I didn't really want to go out with him again. The only reason that I'd agreed to go out with him was just to be polite, and to give him a chance. But I didn't have any feels towards him other than friendship. And I felt like I was using him for that reason.
" Bella trust me it's necessary. And we're not just shopping for your date, we're also shopping for your new closet." she said grinned while handing me a tall pile of clothes.
The weight of the pile made me huff and my knees start to shake. But when Elena was carrying it she didn't look like she was having trouble at all. But then again Jeremy had told me she had started shopping more, so she was probably used to it.
" What's wrong with my clothes?" I asked while Elena guided me to a dressing room. pushing me in and drawing the certain.
" Bella do you see how you dress. Seriously sometimes I want to just burn your clothes so I never see them again." I laughed as I undressed.
I scanned the pile and pulled out a hot pink no-sleeved top. I held it up to the mirror looked more closely at it. The shoulder line and the neckline had little pink frills all around it. A little too girly for my taste but apparently my taste in clothes makes some people want to burn them. I sighed and pulled the top on over my body and cringed at my reflection in the mirror.
" Bella are you ready or not!" Elena shouted from outside. I straightened my top lifted the certain and stepped outside.
I walked over to where Elena sat and did a little twirl for her. She got up and walked around in a circle looking at me up and down.
" It's a little bit too strong for you Bella. I don't think it really says anything about you really. Go and try something else." she said and pushed me back into the dressing room again.
After trying on many, many, many clothes I found something I liked very much. It was a red, knee length dress with thin straps. The dress wasn't too dressy or too pale which was just right for me. I went over to Elena trying to walk like a supermodel and did another twirl. Elena looked me up and down and hmmmed.
" Hmmm as in okay, or hmmm as in gorgeous and he was a fool to let you go." I tensed her. Elena snorted and wiped away at the dress.
" Alright you do look beautiful in it. Well I guess that settles it, this is what your wearing on your date with Mat." she smiled proudly at me.
I smiled back and went to go take the dress off and put my other clothes back on. I still didn't really want to go on this date but I couldn't cancel on Mat now. No matter how much I wanted to and believe me I wanted to. But if Mat asked me out again then I wouldn't have to turn him down or matter how much it hurt him.
After we paid or Elena paid for the dress and a few other pieces of clothing, we walked over to McDonalds to eat. Hardly anybody was in the restaurants so we decided to eat inside. Elena ordered a chicken legend with twelve chicken nuggets, a mcflurry and a diet coke, and I ordered a box of twenty chicken nuggets and a diet coke.
I didn't think that Elena would have ordered so much since she was at least five stone. But then again she always had been a heavy eater but somehow she ever gained much fat form the food. We talked mostly about school and some of the local gossip. Usually I never did like getting involved when it came to rumours, but I'd become more curious since I'd moved here.
Boys was the next subject we talked about. I wanted to know more about her and Stefan, how they met, if they fell in love quickly or slowly and such. Elena being such a good friend, didn't ask much about me and Edward just in case I'd get upset.
" So do you find it hard to be dating a….vampire." I whispered leaning into her.
" No not really but he could have one eye and knifes for hands and I'd still love him." Elena said with her mouth full taking a long gulp of her coke.
" So you don't think it'd dangerous to be dating a vampire?" I asked thinking back to how Edward used to say that I shouldn't be with him because it was to dangerous.
" No. I think you can love anybody no matter who they are, or what they've done. You can't pick who you love it just…happens. Fate brought you together for a reason and there's nothing you can do about it."
I contemplated Elena's words for a while and found that she spoke the truth. Love is not something you can control or make happen. You can pretend to love someone because you don't want to hurt them. Or because you love them but you're not in love with them.
I wasn't sure what love me and Edward shared but I somehow knew that it wasn't love, but it was something that I'd cried over and over for many nights. And I still wanted to cry over it now and then. But if he did come back and want me back, then I wouldn't go back to him.
Once me and Elena had finished our meal we both went back to the mini and headed home. Elena had received a phone call which she put on speaker.
" Oh hey Mat what's up!" Elena smiled excitedly. I was a little bit embarrassed since Mat obviously didn't know I was here too.
" Hey Elena sorry to bother you but I didn't know how to contact Bella and I heard that she was staying at your house. So I just wanted to ask if she was free tomorrow night?" Elena nudged me and I blushed.
" Yeah she's free tomorrow what time will you be picking her up?" Elena was grinning from ear to ear. There was a short pause after Mat said anything else.
" Ummm is five okay?"
" Yeah five is perfect! She can't wait for the date by the way!" Elena smirked while I turned to the window and covered my face with my hands.
" Okay well see ya." I could tell that Mat was just as embarrassed as I was by his voice.
Elena ended the call and laughed uncontrollable the rest of the way home. I blushed and hide my face from her until we pulled up to the house. I turned to her just after she had took the keys out of the ignition.
" You know I hate you right." I joked still blushing.
" Awww is Bella embarrassed." Elena half laughed half mocked.
I rolled my eyes as we went inside the house. Jeremy was sitting on the couch playing call of duty 4 on the wii. Making grunting noises every time he shot something or someone.
" Jeremy, are you playing a game or are you having an orgasm?" I teased as I hung my coat over the stair banister.
Jeremy looked up from his game with wide eyes and ducked his head down blushing. I laughed and sat down beside him while Elena checked the phone for any missed calls. Are was two missed calls from Stefan and one from Mat.
" Oh yeah Elena Stefan called asking for him and Damon to come over. So I told him and Damon to, come round when you guys came home. Sooo they'll be here in about twenty seconds or so." and fifteen seconds later Damon was sitting in the single seat in the corner and Stefan was standing next to Elena and gave her a quick but passionate kiss, that made Damon gag a little.
" Oh come on you two. Either get a room or get out." Damon said in disgust pointing to the door. Elena rolled her eyes and sat down next to Jeremy, and Stefan stayed standing and wrapped his arms around Elena's neck.
" Oh come Damon don't be such a spoiled sport." I smiled innocently at him.
He looked at me blankly for a moment making me feel a strange fuzzy inside my stomach. I tried to ignore it but the feeling started to grow more intense and more…wanting.
We all talked for a long time and every time Damon looked at me or talked to me, the feeling in my stomach would come back. I didn't know what is was but what I did know was that it was to do with Damon. It got so strong that it was actually becoming painful and made me feel a little sick.
I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to calm down my stomach. But it didn't help for long since Damon followed me into the kitchen as well. He stood across from me leaning against the fridge watching me for behind.
" So I heard your going on a date. Who with?" I turned to him to see him slowly walking towards me. My mouth went dry and my throat closed up.
" M-Mat." I managed to get out, I cleared my throat so I could speak clearly again. " What does it matter to you?" I watched his face closely to see him smirk at me. He was five steps away from me now just close enough to touch me if I stayed still.
" I just wanted to make sure you know how worthless he is, and how he doesn't deserve your company." two steps closer.
My heart was pounding like a drum beating a thousand times quicker than it should. My hands were getting sweating and were starting to shake a little. The fuzzy feeling in my stomach was still there only strong this time. But I had to stand my grounds.
" You don't know that he's worthless. You and I have only met just two days ago, how would you know who doesn't and does deserve my company." he thought that over for five seconds.
" Well your going on a date with the guy and you only met him yesterday." his voice was cold and harsh.
I was silent. He was right, I had only met him yesterday. But he have no right to tell me what I should and should not do. He didn't own me.
" Well it's already done! Why do you care anyway?" Our faces were now five inches part, I couldn't help but every once and a while have a quick glance at his lips.
He stared into my eyes and leaned in closer. I thought for a moment that he was going to kiss me. And I actually wanted him to. But I didn't move any closer. He raised his hand up towards my face and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. His hand moved slowly down my shoulder and down to the middle of my chest were my heart was. He placed his hand there for what seemed like forever and moved in closer until our lips were just two inches apart.
His surprisingly warm breath blew onto my face making my heart stop for a second. I wanted him to kiss me, I wanted to feel his lips against mine and his hand against my cheek. But I was too dazed to even move.
" What do you think?" he whispered into my face.
He then walked away from me and went out the front door, leaving me confused and alone in the kitchen. I stood there dumfounded not knowing what to do or where to go. I instantly missed his soft touch, his warm breath and his dark deep eyes.
Once I was thinking straight again I looked around and decided to go up stairs to my room. I walked as fast as I could without running ignoring the confused stares of Jeremy and Elena. But Stefan's face was blank as usual, then I remembered he'd probably heard every word.
Once I was inside my room I slammed the room and locked it not wanting to be disturbed. I stared out my window trying to make sense of what happened downstairs with Damon. I was just so confused.
I lad down on my bed and tried to get to sleep by singing a song that my mother used to sing to me when I was younger to help me sleep.
" Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
Love can touch just one time
And last for a life time
And never let go till
We're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always
Go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
At the end of the song I had just drifted to sleep with one single tear slowly falling down my cheek.
( There you go guys! I hope you liked this chapter I personally thought it was a little bit sad but oh well. Here's a little fun fact about this chapter the lullaby that Bella's mom used to sing for her was the song that my mom used to sing to me when I had trouble sleeping. And it still works. Anyway please review and I'll update as soon as I can! Bye! Xxxx)
