Special shout out to chitown4183! I totally understood that kudos, :D. Still yet so close to my favorite chapter!!!
BPOV
A week passed, full of hot and sweaty soccer practices. I knew we were gonna win. I wanted this.
"Bella! Rosalie! Good luck out there!!" Alice shouted from the stands.
"Bella, wait!!" I heard Edward yell. He ran up next to me.
"Good luck kiss?" He asked.
I giggled before pressing my lips against his. He ran his tongue across my bottom lip and bit gently while my hands knotted into his hair.
"Bella!! Good luck kiss. Not good luck makeout!! Come on!!" I heard Rosalie say.
"I'm coming!!" I said reluctantly breaking the kiss. "Gotta go."
"Kick some ass," Edward mumbled before smiling and leaving to sit in the stands.
We huddled up.
"Girls, we are ready. You hear? We. Are. Ready. And we're gonna whip some prissy asses. Am I clear?!!?!" I said, getting louder with each word.
"Yeah!!" My teammates screamed before taking their positions. The game started, and I ran in and took the ball from the opposing striker and passing it to Rose. She kicked it to Jessica, back to me. I kicked it up high in the air before kicking it straight in the goal.
"Score!!!!" I yelled, smiling. I high fived Rosalie before running after the ball again.
**
The score board read 19-19. We were tied against the hornets.
"Swan!" Coach yelled from the benches.
"Yeah coach?" I asked, running over.
"Angela hurt her hand on that last save and I need you to fill in. You're the next best goalie. Can you handle that?"
"'Course coach," I said, grabbing a pair of gloves and taking my place in the net.
The girl on the opposing team had a free shot. I bent my knees and stretched out my arms. She ran back a bit before kicking it to the side of the net. I lunged over, the ball hitting my stomach instead of the net.
"Save by Swan!!" The loudspeakers boomed. I threw the ball back into the field and the game continued.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the NYU Violets are dominating this game! Tied with the Hornets, both teams only need one more goal to win this game!"
The crowd roared in anticipation as Rosalie kicked the ball into the net, but being stopped short by the defense. The girls ran across the field, protecting their number one striker. The striker kicked the ball high in the air before kicking it once more into the net. I jumped up and caught the ball, earning cheers and screams from the crowd.
"Yet another save by Miss Swan!!"
I threw the ball into the field to be swooped away by one of my teammates.
"BELLA!!!!!!!" I heard someone scream from the crowd. I whipped my head around and saw Edward, wrapped around and kissing Tanya, or in other words, the bitchy slut.
What.
The.
Fuck.
They broke apart and I saw Tanya flip her hair before turning to me, waving innocently.
"Bella! The striker's coming!" I heard Rosalie yell. I turned away from them and caught the ball before it hit the net. I didn't wanna look at them anymore. I threw the ball back to Rosalie. I watched them, hopefully getting my mind off of those two.
EPOV
I ran back up to the stands and took my spot high up to see my girl win.
"Mind if I sit next to you?" I looked up and saw Tanya, all in her plastic boob glory, giving me a toothy grin.
"Er, no, I don't mind," I said, trying to be polite. She squeezed herself in and smiled. I faked a smile back before watching the game.
There were a few minutes left in the game, and the Violets were tied with the hornets. Bella caught the ball just in time before it hit the net.
I smiled and cheered.
"You know, you could do better than that little bitch," I heard Tanya say.
"What?"
"You heard me. All she does is drool over you and dangle you in front of all the girls during class," Tanya continued.
"She doesn't show me off," I defended. "And what do you mean, I could do better?"
"I mean," She whispered getting closer. "Me."
"BELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed before grabbing my face and attacking my mouth. I put my hands on her waist trying to push her away. She finally let go of my face and flipped her hair, smiling at Bella. Bella's face looked hurt.
Crap crap crap crap crap.
I desperately wanted to run onto the field and explain to her, but Tanya held me in place inbetween her and an overweight senior.
"Why the fuck did you do that?!" I yelled at her.
"Because you are so cute and I wanted to make Bella jealous. Little bitch won't win now," Tanya murmured the last part.
BPOV
Edward. Tanya. Kissing. No, no no no no no no.
"Score by the Violets!! Yes they take home the trophy!!"
The crowd began to cheer.
"Bella!" Alice yelled. She ran over to me. "I saw everything. I'm sorry. Are you alright?!?!" She asked frantically.
I wiped away the tears rimming my eyes. "Y-Yeah. I'm fine."
"Bella, what's wrong?" Rosalie asked when she got off the field.
"She saw Edward and Tanya making out," Alice said.
"No good motherfucking bastard. I'll show him something," Rosalie said, stalking her way to the stands.
"No Rose! Just, I-I wanna go home," I stuttered. She rubbed my back soothingly as we entered the locker room.
"Bells, please wait!" I heard Edward yell from the entrance of the lockers.
"I'll deal with him," Rosalie said. "Just change and we'll go home." She patted my shoulder before turning to leave.
I heard everything from my squatted position in the corner.
"What do you want?" Rose asked icily.
"I just wanna talk to Bella." I heard him say.
"She doesn't want to talk to you, you... motherfucking son of a bitch! How could you do this to her?! You're the one who wanted to be her boyfriend in the first place and yet you still cheat on her. Don't ever talk or look at her again. Damn you, fucking bastard," Rosalie yelled at him .
EPOV
"Rosalie, just let me talk to her," I pleaded.
"She doesn't want to talk to you, you... motherfucking son of a bitch! How could you do this to her?! You're the one who wanted to be her boyfriend in the first place and yet you still cheat on her. Don't ever talk or look at her again. Damn you, fucking bastard," Rosalie yelled at me.
"I just need to talk to her. I want to expla--"
"Well, you shouldn't have made out with Tanya," Rosalie said, slapping my face before leaving.
I rubbed my cheek, walking out of the hallway, finding Jasper and Emmett.
"I feel like shit," I mumbled.
"Dude, what happened?" Emmett asked. "Why would you kiss Tanya? Her fucking boobs aren't even real."
I rolled my eyes and explained to them what had happened.
"Ouch," Jasper said. "And Rose slapped you, too."
"Yeah, good thing she didn't use her claws on you," Emmett said. "We were gonna celebrate with the girls, but maybe some time off from Bella will do."
I nodded and we walked off to our car.
BPOV
"Come on Bells, let's go home. We'll use the back exit."
I nodded weakly and stood up, grabbing my bag.
"Bella?"
I turned around and saw the whole team, including coach, looking at me.
"Yeah?"
"On behalf of the whole team, we wanted to give you the trophy. You worked the hardest, am I right?" Coach Caldwell asked.
All the girls said yes. "We're sorry about what happened," Angela said.
"Nice work out there Captain," some of the girls said before handing me the trophy.
"I, Y-You really d-didn't have to..."
"We want to," they all chanted. We all gathered in for a group hug.
"Thank you," I breathed. They all smiled back before me and Rose went out the back.
"Bella!" I heard a shrill voice say. I whipped my head around and saw Tanya, all smiles, with her usual posse. "Edward's such a good kisser."
It took all I had not to beat her into a bloody pulp. Instead I stalked my way over to where she was standing.
"Listen, fucking bitch, and listen good. It doesn't matter if you make out with my boyfriend or not. You are not beating me in that pageant. Mark my fucking words. That will not distract me. You may have beaten me for twelve years straight but I will win this year. I'm not some priss who'll mope all week about someone fucking cheating on me." I said. I brushed off my shorts before returning to Rosalie and leaving her.
"Alice will be back soon, 'kay? She's just picking up a few things and she'll come home." Rose said when we got back to our apartment. I tossed my bags and trudged to my room. I flopped on my bed covering my face with a pillow.
"Bella?" I heard Alice's voice say.
"Yes Alice?" I mumbled into the pillow. I felt her sit down on the bed and rub my back.
"I'm calling off the bet," she said softly.
I sat up. "What?"
"Bella, it's almost the end of the month, and you didn't cave in anytime. You're stronger than I'd taken you for, going through my horrible makeup routines everyday. You win."
"A-Are you serious? You don't have to do this Alice."
"Bella, I want to OK? It's obvious you can take on anything, and I bet you're missing your giants jersey," Alice said with a sad smile.
"I love you Alice," I said, hugging her.
"Love you too." She pointed to several large plastic bags. "You want me to help unload the icky stuff?"
"N-No. Actually, I just want to wear my jersey. I'll just get that." I stood up and rummaged through the bags until finding the jersey with MANNING on it. I sniffed the fabric and pressed it against my chest. "Ah, I missed this."
Alice giggled. "I'll never understand you, Bella." She got up to leave. "I picked up dinner. We'll be waiting when you're done."
I smiled and changed into my jersey and my newly favorite silk shorts Alice got me. I looked in the mirror, inspecting myself. I shook my hair out of the undone pony tail. I had dark circles under my eyes and my mascara was running from the few tears escaping my eyes. I dabbed my eyes with some tissues and wrapped my hair up in a bun.
When I walked back down the stairs, Alice and Rosalie were sitting on the couch, waiting for me. The coffee table had a big pizza box on it, accompanied with sodas and fries.
I plopped down next to Alice, opening the box.
My eyes widened when I saw my favorite veggie pizza in the box.
"Thanks," I said, giving them both a hug.
We flickered through the channels until settling on the Princess Diaries. We ate the pizza, making small remarks on some of the girls' eyebrows and sudden transformations that reminded them of me.
"Thanks, that makes me feel sooo much better," I said sarcastically when we finished dinner.
"Sorry Bella! Don't take it the wrong way!" Alice began.
I laughed. "I was kidding!" We all laughed together.
"I'll be right back," Alice said before skipping into the kitchen
"Bella, are you sure you're fine with all of this?" Rose asked.
"Rosalie, I'm fine. I won't let some bullshit that happened bring me down," I lied. Rosalie raised her eyebrows but let it go. I really wasn't okay. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. I'd save that for the shower or bed.
"What was that all about... her winning all the pageants and always beating you?" Rosalie pressed.
I sighed. She wasn't gonna let this go. "She competed in the pageants against me every year since we were 9, and she always won and I always came in second."
"Wait!! I wanna listen!" Alice said, running back with double chocolate cheesecake and some plates and forks.
"I love you Alice," I said, eyeing the cheesecake.
"Doesn't everyone?" Alice asked, laughing and giving me a slice. "Now, she always won...?"
"Oh, and it's been driving me crazy all these years. The way the winner was decided was not only by the judges, but by the audience, too. Who ever got the loudest round of applause would get the best chance of winning. She always invited the football teams, or any male population that would cheer for her."
"So she cheated," Rosalie said.
"Not exactly. That's a loophole she found, and she threatened me not to tell anyone," I said, taking a bite of the cheesecake.
"But this year she doesn't have something that we do," Alice said.
"What?"
"Jasper and Emmett. They plan on bringing the entire football and baseball team to support you," Alice said with a smile.
"Can that work?" I asked.
"Yup. The invite you gave us said 'up to 10 people per invite', so we are all bringing ten people to the pageant," Rosalie smiled at her plan.
"Thanks so much, you guys!" I gave them a hug.
"No problem. Only one thing though. Who's gonna be your escort now?" Alice asked.
"I haven't thought of that yet, but I think I know just the person," I said. I told them my ideas, and they all agreed it was good.
"He'll look so good on your arm!" Rosalie and Alice squealed.
"Can I dress him?!" Alice asked.
"He only needs to wear a tux," I said.
"So? It needs to be perfect. It must compliment your dress in every way possible. Please? Pretty please?" Alice begged.
"Oh alright, but he won't like it very much." I gave in.
"Yay!! When are you calling him?" Alice asked. I looked at the clock.
"Um, do you think he'd be awake by now?" I asked.
They both nodded eagerly.
"Alright, I'll call him after I finish eating." I scooped up the rest of the chocolate, dumped my plates into the sink, and ran back upstairs to call him. When I looked at my phone, Edward left 22 texts and 15 calls. I rolled my eyes and ignored the calls, but I'd figured he'd still call back. I wrote a very short text and sent it.
We are over.
As much as I wanted to get back together, I couldn't bring myself up to telling him, because there's still the possibility that he's with Tanya now. I dialed the number and put my phone to my ear.
"Hello?" I heard on the other line.
"Hi, it's Bella. I know it's kind of last minute, but could you please come here? I really need to talk to you."
"Sure Bella. I'll talk to dad and let you know when I'm coming."
"Thanks. See you."
"Bye Bella." I slid my phone shut and flopped on my bed.
"Bella?" Rosalie and Alice stood at my door. "Can we come in?"
"Sure." I patted the side of the bed, motioning for them to sit down.
"I know you're still at post breakup stage, but we think we know a good way to get rid of that," Alice started.
"I already ate chocolate." I said.
"No not that. Did your mom ever give you the shoes for the ball thing?" Alice asked.
"Nope."
"I sense a great shopping trip!!" Alice squealed. "Can we go? Please?"
"Fine. I need new running shoes anyway." I said giving in. Alice squealed and we bid our good nights.
I grabbed my stereo remote, flickering through the songs on my ipod until finding the right song to fit my mood. I rethought my choice for the talent competition, and this song was better than the others I picked. Listening to the melody, I grabbed my guitar and followed along, over and over until it stuck in my head. After two long hours, my eyes finally drooped shut and I fell asleep.
OK, did anyone see that coming? Don't be too mad at Bella, I mean come on, wouldn't you get mad if Edward cheated on you? Can anyone guess the song she's gonna sing? Or the person who's gonna be her escort?
Review please?
