BPOV

I dialled Jakes number and waited for an answer.

"Hello? Is that you Jacob?" I was getting quite anxious.

"No it's Billy. I'll just get him now."

"Oh. Thanks." I tapped my fingers impatiently on my leg. What would I say?

"Hi Bella." I heard Jacob's voice. He sounded upset. I hope it wasn't because of this.

"Jake, listen I need to talk to you. Did Mike Newton call you before by any chance?" I already knew the answer.

"Yeah he did. What's it to you?" Either he was being defensive or he was really angry with me.

"Did he mention something about me doing certain things with Edward and Jasper and Carlisle and Emmett?"

"Yeah. He also said something to do with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. And something about rape. He was talking so fast I didn't catch all of it. But I caught enough." He sounded so cold and aloof. He didn't trust me either. I felt like screaming again but I kept my cool.

"Jake, you can't believe him. I thought you knew me better than that. I thought I knew you better." I started to trail off. "You didn't even ask me if it was true, you just assumed it was. Does that really sound like me? Sleeping my way around the family? Thanks for that Jacob, you're a real pal." I pinched the bridge of my nose. I could feel myself going off on one again. I sighed and calmed down.

"So it's not true then? I knew it couldn't be. I knew you wouldn't do that to me." He sounded perkier than before.

"I wouldn't do that to Edward, not you." I hung up. I was so mad. Why does everyone believe Mike Newton? I mean it's not as though he's the brightest crayon in the pack. In fact he's more like the mouldy green colour no one ever uses. Deep breaths. I still had a lot of phone calls to make. When I was feeling better I called Angela. Surely she wouldn't believe it.

"Hi Bella. Are you okay?" Angela didn't seem mad or even shocked.

"Hi Angela. I'm a bit fed up. Stupid Mike Newton! I bloody hate him. I guess he told you." Of course he did. Moron.

"Yeah he did. But just to let you know I didn't think much of it. I mean, you were tricking him right? It didn't sound much like you." I loved her. A smile spread across my face.

"Of course I was messing with him. But he told everyone. Even my Dad! I had some explaining to do there."

"I knew it. Oh, and I believe a congratulations are in order. How far are you gone?" She whispered excitedly down the phone. It took me a while to work out what she was on about. Then the penny dropped.

"Actually it's not real. I'm doing this thing for Doctor Cullen. Like an experiment thing. We've got to wear empathy bellies for four days. Then we get these dolls. I don't know too much about it. I know it's driving me crazy though."

"Well that's not what Mike thinks. You're tricking the poor guy again. Bella, you are cruel." Angela said through the laughter. Cruel? She'd seen nothing yet.

"I'll tell him. One day. I'm not quite done with him yet." My mind was alive with plans. What would I do to Mike next? One thing's for sure, he needed to be taught a lesson!

"Sorry, I've got to go. My mom wants me to tidy my room. I'll call you soon okay?"

"Bye then. Oh and do you have Tyler or Eric's number. I need to call them as well."

"I'll do it for you. It's the least I can do. See you soon."

"See ya." Well, that had raised my spirits. Now there was just two more people to call.

Edward was watching me with curiosity. "Do you want some help love? You sound a bit fed up."

"I'll be fine. I only have two more calls to make. Then I'm all yours." He smiled my favourite crooked smile and watched as I dialled Jessica's number.

"Hello?"

"Hi Jess! It's Bella." I said with fake enthusiasm. There was a moment of silence, and then she spoke.

"Hi Bella. Gosh, I've not talked to you forever. I hope you don't mind me asking but I've heard something about you getting busy with the whole Cullen family. Someone's been a naughty girl." Straight to the point.

"But, it's not true. Seriously, Mike just made it up because we had a fight. And now he's gone and told everyone. Please Jess, you gotta believe me on this one." I knew I was wasting my breath. She already knew which story she wanted to believe.

"Oh, don't worry. Your secret's safe with me. But tell me, what's Emmett like. I bet he's big right?"

"I wouldn't know. I've never seen." I was clenching my teeth, trying not to explode.

"Oh come on Bella. I want to know all the juicy details. Is he experienced?" I just hung up before I turned nasty. I tried to chuck the phone across the room but Edward caught my hand.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." He chuckled and slowly brought my hand down. "Oh Bella, it's okay. Don't worry about them. It will all work out. Don't be sad." He brushed his thumbs under my eyes. I hadn't realised I was crying.

"I'm not crying because I'm sad. I'm just so angry! I can't believe he did that and now everyone believes him." I tried to throw the phone again but Edward stopped my by pulling me into his chest.

"Shhhhh. Don't think about it. It doesn't matter. We can sort it out later. But right now I think it's time for bed."

"But what about Lauren? She's the worst of the lot. If I leave her then the whole of the world will know by tomorrow morning."

" It will get sorted out. Now, I just need to drop the car back then I'll be right with you. Ten minutes okay? Just try not to throw anything else." He hugged me tighter for a brief moment before letting me go. He said goodbye to Charlie then left.

I stayed sat on the sofa for a few minutes. Then I got up and walked up to my Dad who was now sat in his chair. "I'm going to bed now. Night Dad." I bent down to hug him. I don't know why. I've not hugged Charlie for ages. He's not really one to show affection, unless the situation demands it. Needless to say he looked startled when I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. Then he relaxed and hugged me back, being careful not to touch my bump.

"Good night Bells. Have a good sleep."

"You too Dad." It occurred to me as I walked up the stairs that Charlie was still slightly scared of me. I would have to say sorry for my outburst. "Dad!" I called when I reached the top.

"What's wrong?" I saw his face appear at the bottom.

"I just want to say sorry for before. It won't happen again. Well, I hope it doesn't anyway." I smiled at his worried face.

"It's all right. Night." He went back to his chair. That was simple.

When I was in my room I thought it would be a good idea to get changed. Show Edward I can fend for myself when he's gone. I even spent time deciding whether to wear pyjamas or a nightshirt. I decided on a pair of PJ's that Alice bought me yesterday. But when it came to getting my top off, I got in a spot of bother. I got my T-Shirt stuck over my head.

"Crap!" I tried wiggling my head, bending over and pulling, I even tried taking it off downwards but none of them worked. There was only one thing left to try. I pulled it over my head as far as it would go and shook my whole body like crazy. I was totally freaking out. My arms were flying around and my butt was wiggling. I must have looked insane. I even thought I was making progress, then I heard the one thing I didn't want to hear right now.

"Bella? What the heck are you doing?" I turned around with my nose and left eye still trapped under my shirt. Edward was stood by the window with eyes wide and mouth twisted into a smile. I whirled around again so fast I almost fell over.

"Oh my God!" I could feel my cheeks flaming. Why did he have to come in now?

"Bella?" I could hear the humour in his voice and his footsteps as he crossed the room towards me. "Do you want some help love?" I stood still and admitted defeat. Then I regained the ability to see out of both eyes and breathe out of my nose as my shirt was lifted up.

"Thanks." I mumbled and buttoned up my pyjama top. I tried not to look him in the eyes. I can't believe he caught me like that. His laughter echoed around the room. "Charlie's going to catch you if you carry on being this loud."

"He won't catch me unless I want to be caught." He spun me round and flashed me a devilish smile.

"Still." I plodded towards my bed and climbed into it. Edward sat next to me and tried to keep me talking. He knew I was embarrassed and didn't want me to clam up.

"So, you know what I've forgotten about? I was meant to do five things for you today." I looked up at him and tried to push the awkwardness behind me.

"Did you do five things then? I'll count them. Tell me what you've done for me today then." I smiled and held out my hand and wiggled my five fingers. Well, four fingers and a thumb if you want to be fussy!

"Well, for starters, I played along with your little prank on Mike, saving you embarrassment. That counts as one." He bent my thumb down. "I also stopped you from destroying your fathers phone. Twice." He put my next two fingers down.

"No way! That only counts as one." I pushed my middle finger back up only to have it put back.

"I don't think so. I saved the phone on two separate occasions. I think you'll find it counts as two."

"Fine then. Number four?" I smirked as I watched him trying to remember.

"Erm … does coming back here to be with you count as one?"

"I guess I can let that one pass. But what about number five?" I asked shifting my weight closer to his body.

"How about if I sing you to sleep?" Edward looked at me with his perfect topaz coloured eyes.

"That's fine by me. We have our five good deeds people." I switched the bedside lamp odd and put my head on the pillow. I heard my lullaby coming from Edward's mouth. "Hey, that's not singing." I accused playfully.

He just pulled my duvet up higher and said, "You can't tell the difference. You're asleep remember." I felt a gentle kiss on my forehead before he carried on. I drifted into a happy sleep, wondering what tomorrow would bring.


Awww. Bella will get a shock in the morning though. Any guesses as to what it might be? I bet no one will be right. But I could be wrong. I won't underestimate you :) Please review for me. Hope to update soon XX
