AN: Hello! This chapter was written by me and not my sister, ilovejasper20. Warning: my writing style is slightly different to that of my sisters. But anyway, enjoy.
Disclaimer: Do I really have to say this again? I do not own anything, if you thought I did, thankyou, but you were wrong. If I did own this Edward would have bitten me already. One can dream. On with it!
EPOV:
I had no idea why our parents thought this show was a good idea. I mean, yeah my brothers and I had had a little trouble finding a decent girl lately. That didn't mean anything. We should solve this problem like normal guys. But no, mum and dad had to go out a buy a TV show. Who does that? Not only that, but they named the show, 'The One'.
So now, my brothers and I are sitting in our room looking through photos of girls. Some of them are fairly attractive. Others, not so much. We had developed a system. Emmett would look at the photo, give it a rating, pass to Jasper. Jasper would look at it, give it a rating, pass it to me. I would look at it, try not to gag, give it a rating, put it in the seen pile. Occassionally we would comment on a particularly desperate, hot or needy chick. Aside from that, it was a quiet process.
"Check out this chick. Is it natural to be able to stick out your bottom lip that much?" Emmett laughed. I looked at the photo and saw a blonde doing an over the top pout. I think it was supposed to look sexy, but she failed miserably. I saw the name below the photo.
"I vote we keep Lauren in just for laughs," I sugegsted.
"Done," they agreed.
Soon we had three girls we were keeping in simply because we thought they would provide some amusement. All of us had picked two of our top girls each, that we thought were pretty. None of them stood out though. We were down to last three when I heard Emmett gasp. And let me tell you, Emmett is not a gasper, so I knew something was up. I walked over to his side of the table and looked over his shoulder. In front of him was a picture of a blonde woman. She looked gorgeous, like a supermodel. She wasn't smiling over the top, pouting or trying to look sexy. She was smirking, but it looked natural.
"Damn! This girl is hot!" Emmett exclaimed.
"Figures. I'm guessing you found you're last one?" Jasper snickered.
"Hell yeah! This Rosalie chick is smoking." Emmett moved the photo to his top three pile, revealing the next photo. It was Jasper's turn to gasp. And he isnt a gasper either. I looked down and saw a photo of a petite girl, with black hair and green eyes. She looked like she was laughing, enjoying herself. Her eyes were lit up with mischief and joy. She was quite small, but she gave off the air of being strong.
"Looks like Jasper found his final one too."
"Jasper and Alice sitting in a tree. K.I.S.S.I.N.G!" Emmett sang. I laughed. Jasper snatched the photo away from Emmett. I laughed. Then I heard Emmett let out a long whistle.
"Looks like they were saving best till last. This girl aint to bad on the eyes either."
I looked over his shoulder and saw the most gorgeous woman smiling uncertainly from the photo. She looked nervous and out of place. Her brown eyes were swirling with a depth and understanding. Her brown hair cascaded down her shoulders and their was a slight pink colouring her cheeks. I sighed.
"Looks like Eddie likes the look of Miss Bella," Jasper teased, glad to have the light of him.
I maturely poked my tongue out at both of them. They were pains in the butts, but they were my brothers and I loved them... deep, deep down.
"Why don't we call it a night? We have a big day tomorrow," I suggested. Jasper agreed and Emmett grumbed. I smirked and settled down into my bed. I closed my eyes and dreamt of a borwn hair, brown eyes angel. My Bella.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning we were to meet the 75 girls in the show. And let them know which nine of them would be leaving. I wasn't particularly looking forward to it. But I would get to see Bella. That was enough to make my day. I wanted to see if she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. I had no doubt she would be.
"Ready for this mornings entertainment, Eddie?" Emmett shouted from the kitchen.
"Why do you insist on calling me Eddie? It sounds like something you would call a dog, not a person," I snapped. I'm not the worlds best morning person.
"Aww! Eddiekins is in a bad mood. Watching hot girls in bikinis should cheer you up."
"What are you talking about?"
"The girls are by the pool this morning, and they're looking hot. Come on, I got you some waffles."
I walked into the loungeroom and grabbed some waffles before turning my attention to the TV. True to his word, the girls were by the pool. I scanned the grounds for Bella, but she wasn't there. Rosalie and Alice weren't there either. I noticed Jasper and Emmet were also disappointed. Then the three girls entered the pool area, all wearing short dresses over their swimmers. I took in the beauty that was Bella.
They started to set up their towels and bags on three chairs when Lauren, Tanya and Jessica approached them. I noticed Bella tense but Rosalie and Alice took it in stride.
"Jasper, can you zoom in and turn the sound on so we can hear what they're saying?" I demanded. He nodded and started working on the controls. Soon we were listening in on their conversation. It felt kind of stalkerish, but this was a TV show.
"What do you think you're doing?" Lauren screeched.
"We are setting up our things. Do you have a problem with that?" Rosalie snapped. Jessica and Tanya visibly flinch, but Lauren held her ground.
"This is our area. You can't be here," Lauren retorted.
"Is your name here?"
"No, but everyone knows its our area."
"Well, we were here first so, run along now. Go get some more plastic surgery," Alice said, acidly. She was getting extrememly annoyed.
"You might wanna consider it. I mean, you're eyes are so far apart, your cheeks are flabby, you're nose is really big and you're ears are at different heights," Lauren pointed out.
Alice tense and then she jumped, arms outstretched, ready to strangle her. Bella caught her and held her back, though you could tell she was struggling to do so. Then Alice's fist made contact with Bella's face, and she fell back. Alice immediately stopped struggling and went to help her friend.
"Haha. Some friend you are. You're an animal," Lauren laughed.
"You're an uptight, pompous, plastic who wears too much make up and had to buy her way into the competition. You're one to talk," Rosalie fumed.
"Can't we just settle this calmly?" Bella sugested from the ground. Everyone seemed to ignore her comment.
"The Cullen Boys are ours. Just stay away from them and we won't have a problem."
"We'll see. After all, you can't buy love, like you buy everything else. And you know what else, you can have this spot. This pool is to crowded with you and you're ego," Rosalie snapped. She went to walk away but went back up to Lauren and poked her in the shoulder. "And if you ever hurt my friends, you will wish you were dead."
Rosalie, Alice and Bella went to walk away but Bella tripped. It didn't look like she tripped on air, but there was no water. I saw Jessica, Tanya and Lauren laughing on the side. Bella lay still on the ground, she didn't wake up.
"What's wrong with Bella," I demanded of my brother, even though I knew they didn't know.
My angel couldn't be hurt. She couldn't. I had to find her and make sure she was alright. I jumped out of my seat and Emmett and Jasper followed. We went down to my dad's office and knocked.
"Come in," he called.
"Dad, one of the girls is knocked out by the pool area. We need to get some medical assistance down there," I insisted. He nodded and there was a curiousity in his eyes. Thankfully he didn't voice it.
"Do you know what girl it was?"
"Bella Swan."
"Okay. You guys go ahead and assistance will be there soon," dad ushered us.
All three of us walked swiftly to the pool area. I entered in the access code and walked in. I heard girls shrieking and some threw themselves at me. I shrugged them off and went straight to where I saw Bella laying. I noticed Rosalie and Alice bent over her body. Alice was in hysterics but Rosalie had kept a cool head.
I knealed down next to Bella and checked her pulse. It was there and it was steady. By this time Rosalie and Alice had noticed us. Rosalie swatted my hand away from Bella and glared.
"What do you think you're doing?" she demanded.
"I was checking her pulse. I'm Edward Cullen. My brothers, Emmett, Jasper and I saw Bella fall and came down to help. Medical assistance is on the way," I assured her. Rosalie looked appeased but still suspicious. Emmett went over to Rosalie and put his arm around her.
"Don't worry Rosalie. Bella will be up and at em in no time," he assured her.
"How do you know my name?" she asked. Alice had now calmed down and was looking at Jasper as if he were her god.
"We went through everyone photos last night. Though we only remembered our favourites, and the really hideous ones," Emmett joked.
"So what one was I? A favourite or an ugly?" she asked, already knowing the answer. She looked underneath her eyes at him, holding the challenge.
"You know as well as I do, that with a body like that, you gotta be a favourite," Emmett assured her.
"Just imagine what I can do with this body," she laughed. I noticed Emmett gulp and almost start panting. I stifled a laugh.
"EDDIE!" I heard Lauren screech. I sighed impatiently and turned to her.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I just want you to know, that I am you're one." She fluttered her eye lashes and I tried not to gag.
"Well, so are the other 74 girls here, apparently. Now, if you'll excuse me."
The medical team arrived and examined Bella. By this point Emmett and Jasper were both flirting with Rosalie and Alice. I tried not to roll my eyes, and turned my attention back to the angel in my arms. Once the medical team gave the okay to move her, they offered a stretcher but I refused.
I picked my angel up and carried her gently from the pool area. I heard a couple of girls swoon but ignored it. Jasper, Alice, Emmett and Rosalie all followed. Bella started to stir in my arms.
"Wh-where am I? What's going on?" she mumbled.
"You're at the Cullen residence and you hit your head, nothing serious though," I assured her.
"That explains the headache," she murmured. I laughed, and the sound jerked her eyes open.
"Whoa. You're Edward," she stated, eyes wide.
"Well, that's what people tell me," I chuckled.
"You're carrying me."
"Yes."
"This is a very good dream," she whispered.
"Go to sleep Bella," I soothed.
She nodded and her eyelids drifted as she went limp again in my arms. I smiled. I had my angel in my arms. That was all I could ask for. My beauty, my wonderful... my one. Is it possible this beautiful creature was meant for me? Meant to be my one? Only time would tell.
AN: Well, hope you enjoyed that chappie. In the next chapter you find out how Bella fell, this time it wasn't her clumsiness. And yes, Alice gave her a black eye. She is small but she's strong. Hope you liked Edwards Point of view. Who doesn't love romance, drama, cat fights and the knight in shining armour. *sigh*
