Note: Hey everyone! I'm trying my best to type the next couple of chapters as quick as I can, so that I can get the good, dramatic, action part. You are lucky that I'm in school today and we're doing nothing so I typed up the next chapter. Wow, two chapters in one day, I've never done that!. I hope you guys like this one!
Chapter 9: You're What?
"C'mon Emmett! It's been 3 hours! All of us are here, in this cramped living room, waiting for you to tell us what you meant earlier!"
I was sitting between Charlie and Edward. I kept sneaking looks at the beautiful person that sat beside me and I couldn't believe he may not be human.
I thought back to early this morning, when I was researching vampires and Quileute myths. He did seem too beautiful to be human, but then again, he had always seemed that way to me. Even Emmett was more handsome than I remember him, and speaking about my cousin, that's saying a lot...
I could see Rose looking at him every chance she got. Jasper was sitting next to her, and for once, he did seem more beautiful that his sister. I knew then that it wasn't humanly possible for that to happen.
I decided on talking to the boys about it after Emmett's big news. Edward and Jasper seemed to be in on it too because they were giving each other knowing glances. I couldn't wait to see what their reaction would be when I tell them I know what they are. I hope they don't get angry at me for figuring it out...
"C'mon big bear, tell us!" Rosalie made her voice as whiney as she could and used Emmett's nickname.
All of us 'kids' laughed at the usage of that name because it had been the one she used when we were younger. Emmett didn't look too happy that she used his old nickname but quickly laughed it off, telling the rest of us that he wasn't really angry.
"Alright, since you all keep asking me so nicely...Edward, you want to tell 'em?"
Edward looked at Emmett, sending daggers with his eyes. He still looked like a god.
"Naw, you were really excited about it. You were the one who was jumping up and down when we found out." Edward had a grin on his face as Emmett now stared at him shooting daggers. After a couple of seconds Edwards grin widened.
"Alright then. Well, I'm 20, so it doesn't really apply to me but the record company wants the other three boys to go back to high school here in forks for their last year."
It took all of us a few seconds to understand what Emmett meant. As soon as I realized it, I hugged Edward as hard as I could. When I grabbed onto him I realized he wasn't breathing, and only started a couple of seconds after I grabbed onto him.
Why would he be holding his breath? We were the ones who didn't know what they were going to tell us. Unless...
I quickly thought back to the Vampire research I had done this morning. When I read about the Twilight book, it was written that the vampires don't need to breathe; they only do it to look more human. The main male character loved the smell of the females and it almost tempted him to drink her blood, but he held his breath to stop himself.
I let go of Edward and looked at him smiling. He smiled back but behind those golden eyes there was a slight hint of confusion.
I pretended not to notice anything strange and proceeded to hug Emmett and Jasper.
Jasper seemed the only one who was clam and everyone else calmed down to light excitement as well. It was very strange.
"Who wants to go celebrate the boys being in town?" Esme called. She and Alice loved to through parties for any possible reason. Everyone raised their hands and Esme and Alice left to get the phone book and call some fancy restaurant.
"I guess I'll go change into something a little more...fancy...and make myself beautiful." Edward looked at me and smiled.
"Bella, it wouldn't matter if you wore a trash bag as a dress. You'd look beautiful."
My heart swooned when he said my name. His voice was so beautiful, and he made my name sound much better than I thought it was. My response was that of a typical teenage girl, who just got her very first compliment from a boy.
"Uh...Thanks." I looked down and blushed.
Stupid Bella, now he'll think you're a dork and he should find another girl to compliment.
"It's done! We will be eating at The Bella Italia tonight at 7:00. Everyone needs to be dressed nicely, and girls need to be covered or I'm not letting you into a car." Esme mostly looked at me, knowing full well that my idea of nicely dressed was one of my black and red corsets and one of the skirts I'd wear for a mini performance at the talent show. (Like Amy Lee, of Evanescence)
Rosalie and Alice immediately grabbed my arms and dragged me upstairs.
Edward, help me!
I saw Edward smile and look at Alice. I thought I saw him mouth 'Thank you' but I'm not sure.
Once in my room the girls emptied my closet and dresser of their contents and started looking for something that wasn't a corset or revealing. They went right through my funny shirts. One landed right next to me. It was black and it said 'Everyone knows the purple crayon is gay' and it had 8 Crayola coloring crayons with all of them frowning except the purple one. (On profile like the one from the previous chapter))
The next things they went through were my PJ's, but don't ask me why...they are very strange girls...just never say that to their faces...One of my favourite pair, my more naughty than nice ones, landed next to me as well. I decided to put the tank top and boy shorts on the nightstand right next to my bed to use them tonight. They were black and pink, the only pink thing I had, thanks to Alice. (On profile!)
"Jeez, Bella, you have more crap than actual clothes to wear out at a nice restaurant" Alice said while digging through my closet.
"AH! There we go!" She must have found all the dresses she has forced me to buy over the years. I had a dress in every color imaginable. I even had a back up wedding dress in case the one I would, someday, wear gets destroyed or something bad happened to it.
She pulled out one of my favourite ones. It was a light blue halter dress that went to the knee. There was a sash built into it just under the bust line, like I need any accentuating there...
"This is the one Bella! You have to wear this. If you so, I'll allow those boots my brother bought you years ago. You are really lucky your feet didn't grow..."
I looked up at Alice and debated whether or not I should wear the dress. It was the most beautiful one I owned and it looked great on me. Edward used to say that blue was magical on me and I wanted to make him happy. Plus I got to wear my boots instead of some death trap they had forced me to buy.
"Alright, but if any of the boys start staring at me I'm putting on a sweater. Can you girls do my hair and...Make...up..." Uh-oh. I might as well have asked them for a complete makeover of me and my wardrobe. They both loved to use me to try out new hair styles and try on different color pallets on my porcelain skin.
"Let's start now so we can have time to get ready too." Alice dragged me into the bathroom as Rosalie went down to tell the boys and our parents that I'm going to be going through hell for the next couple of hours.
"Alrighty then! First, I want to trim your hair, you're getting split ends again." Alice took out her hair dressing stuff and started by wetting my hair.
Rosalie came in with her three makeup cases and started picking out colors for all three of us.
After two long and annoying hours they were done and I was finally ready to get dressed and go out to supper.
"Edward is going to faint when he see's you looking so hot Bella."
Note: I'm done this chapter YAY!!! The next one should be the confrontation (I know what you are) and then it'll get very interesting and the supper of course. Also, I have nothing against the purple crayon or the color purple. It's my favourite color. Plus the one I chose is much less offensive than the original one I wanted to put. If you want to know which on it is, ask me. Anyways R&R like always!
