A/N: hey everyone! I've decided to do a new thing, I'm going to mention one of my reviewers name. I'm going to pick my favorite review for the previous chapter and give that person a shout out! So I'm going to start with this one:
So this chapter is dedicated to TwilighterluvsEdward. Her review was really funny! I love funny reviews :)
Previously: He smiled then slung his arm over my shoulder, "You're something else."
"Is that a good thing?" I asked innocently, a little more timidly than I had planned.
"Nope," he said and my face fell. "It's a great thing." His smile showed me how sincere he was.
I gave him a huge grin, "Well then, you're something else too."
Bella's POV:
"So, liked your first time of paintball?" Emmett asked as we made out way back to the house. We all had our goggles on our foreheads; they were making a paint outline.
I nodded, "Yeah, it was…well it was insanely fun!" It seriously was though, it was exhilarating and exciting, it was fun, and it ended greatly with Edward chasing me……honestly that was probably one of my favorite parts. Can you blame me though?
We were now in sight of the house and Edward's arm was still around my shoulders. He kept getting even more paint on me though because his hands were covered. Not that I was going to complain, I'd rather be covered in paint then have him let go.
Emmett and Jasper kept making kissy faces at us that we either just ignored or laughed at.
"Guess who I am!" Emmett said going up to Jasper and throwing his arms around him, "Oh Jasper! I'm just totally all over you even though I don't love you!"
"And I'm totally fine with your arms around me whenever….but I only like you as a friend." Jasper answered, making his eyes look all innocent as he stared up at Emmett.
My face got red and at that point Edward took his arm off of me. Great guys, couldn't let me enjoy it could you?
"Do you know who we are?" Emmett asked again.
I just ignored them, so did Edward.
It didn't take us too long to get to the house, only about five minutes. It wasn't like we were a mile away.
Emmett went home saying he had to help his mom—Terry—with some house-work. Surprisingly, his mom is really tiny, his dad isn't in the picture anymore, he passed away when Emmett was a kid. Rosalie and Jasper had to leave to because they were having family over. That left, Alice, Edward and I.
Edward was in the shower and Alice and I were getting some of our school work done. I didn't have too much considering it was my first day, most of my stuff were just worksheets telling me what to expect and what we would be doing the rest of the year. I did end up helping Alice out with her biology homework. I've always been really good at it.
"So, what are the stages of mitosis again? I can never remember their order!" she complained, chewing the eraser on her pencil.
I laughed, "You might want to make an acronym or something for it. They are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase, and cytokinesis. It can be anything stupid like; I Provide Medicine Always To Chill. Or something dumb like that, just anything you can remember."
That's what I would always do for pretty much anything. It really helped me memorize stuff. Not even just acronyms, just little sayings or hints to help me remember something.
She nodded, taking in what I was telling her, "Okay, what about Icing, PacSun, Macys, Aero, Timberland, and Converse."
I chuckled, "Stores?" I asked her, how would she be able to remember just the name of stores?
She shrugged with a smile, "Like you said, make it anything I can remember, and I can remember so many store names in so many different orders that it's not even funny. I plan ahead when I go shopping so I know exactly which stores I'll be going to and when. This way if I think like I'm shopping in biology I'll remember. Oh! Wouldn't it be awesome if we could go on a field trip to the mall?" She squealed thinking of the idea, "That would just be amazing!"
I nodded to what she was saying, sort of shocked with how much pre-planning she goes to just to go shopping.
A glint appeared in her eyes, "You know, one day I'm going to have to take you shopping with me! It'll be so much fun!"
I remember the text Edward had sent me once telling me how awful shopping with her would be. I was about to tell her how much I despise shopping, but the hopeful gleam in her eyes made me feel like I had to say yes and act excited.
"That sounds great!" I said as enthusiastically as I could when talking about shopping.
She beamed, her homework was the least of her worries now, "Oh gosh it'll be fun! We can go to Aero and Wet Seal! Oh and I heard that Hot Topic just got in these really cute bangles that are all different colors! And we can go out to lunch and…." She went on and on about shopping. Maybe Edward was right when he warned me. One day of shopping couldn't be that bad….could it?
I heard footsteps upstairs, and since Carlisle and Esme weren't here, it was obviously Edward.
Alice must have been thinking the same thing because she jumped up and said, "Well, I think Edward's out of the shower, so I'm going to take mine now….you can either take one after me or just wait till you get home, but, if you take one here you can borrow some of my clothes. I'll be back in a jiffy!" She ran gracefully up the stairs.
Did she really just say jiffy? Does anyone say that anymore? Besides Alice I mean? I just shook my head and laughed. This family really is the best.
I made myself comfortable sitting in the couch. My legs were curled up under me, the house was really cold and I was wearing short sleeves. I just got situated when I heard Edward's phone start ringing.
"Edward!" I called loudly up the stairs, not wanting to move.
"Yeah?" he shouted from his rooms. You see, the walls in this place are really thing so it's easy to hear each other.
"Your phones ringing!" I called back.
"Can you please answer it? I'll be down in a second."
I sighed but yelled that I would. I got out of my comfortable position and got his phone. It came up as an unknown number, so either the person *69'd the call or it was someone that wasn't in Edward's contact list.
"Hello?" I answered cheerfully, well trying to be cheerful.
"Edward?" came a voice that was seemed too deep. Almost like he was trying to sound different, I could tell it wasn't Jasper or Emmett though, they wouldn't be able to stay serious.
"No," I said. Could he seriously not tell that I was a girl?
"Alice?" the voice asked again.
"No, this is Bella….may I ask who's calling?" I asked a little creeped out. Seriously, who was this guy?
All I heard was deep breathing from the other line and the faint sound of a television playing in the background.
"Please answer me, who are you?" I asked a littler sterner but also quieter. Edward better get his butt down here!
Still there was just that constant breathing. Nothing else, it seemed like the guy was thinking of what to say.
"If you don't say something soon, I'm going to hang up," I said, getting frantic. He obviously knew who he was calling, so I couldn't try to put the thought in my mind that it was a wrong number. Unless of course I tried to believe that he was trying to call a different Edward and Alice, not very likely though.
The breathing got a bit deeper until the man cleared his throat. When he spoke it his voice wasn't as deep anymore, but his voice reminded me of someone from a horror movie. "Tell Edward and Alice, that I'm back…and I'm not leaving this time. I'll find them. I know everything."
I tried to speak once more but I heard a clicking sound, leaving the phone disconnected and the dial tone the only noise I could hear. I pressed the off button and sunk down in the carpet, not bothering to make it over to the couch.
My throat closed up and I was breathing is short pants, staring straight ahead not looking at anything. My fists were clenched so tight that my knuckles were white and my heart was beating unnaturally fast. I quietly and slowly brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around my legs, and just stared. I wanted to call Edward but I didn't trust my voice. I just sat there for what seemed like hours but could have only been a minute.
At least, that's what I was doing until I heard Alice scream.
A/N: sorry for the long wait. Hope you liked the chapter :) please review!
