Previously in Love is my curse---
Edward---
"Loosen up bud! Hey, to take your mind off Bella, we'll go out tonight, you me, and Jasper!" Emmett said.
"There's this new club downtown for high school and college students, we could go there," Jasper suggested.
"Black Point..." Cali Grends said.
"Oh, cool. Can we come?" Angela asked.
"That would be awesome! The seven of us, out together." Emmett said excitedly. After that we all started to talk about tonight's plans.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bella---
"Um...can I see Edward?..." I asked.
"Oh, darling I'm sorry, but Edward's not here. You just missed him." Esme said sadly.
"Oh…. Okay…." I walked back to the car.
"Bella, what's wrong?" Cloud asked.
"Edward wasn't there…." I said softly.
"Oh, Bella I'm sorry..."
"I'll go out. I'd rather not sulk at home." I said.

Chapter 4 Fate has brought us apart
Now in Love is my curse--- (A/N- actually, it's more like 25 minutes before Bella came, but yeah!)
Edward POV---

Uh, be my girl.
Be my girl.
Are you gonna be my girl?! Yea
The song "Are you gonna be my girl" by Jet faded away and the entire time that song played, I couldn't help but think of Bella. She's the center of all my thoughts, an angel; how can someone not love an angel? She's like my drug, my heroine. My mind couldn't go one thought without trying to picture her beauty. Which was bad. Very, very bad. I have to forget about her for the night. Just for the night.
... That's going to be difficult.
"Edward, dear!" Esme called. I could tell she was just down the hall, probably at the staircase. I bet the next she says is that Emmett is here. "Emmett's here," oh yeah, I'm good.
"OK," I called back. Just then Emmett came bursting through the door.
"Dude! The millions of times I've been in your house, and I still got lost!" He exclaimed.
"Why am I not surprised?" I mumbled.
I really wasn't surprised. When I first moved here in 2002 I got lost all the time. Of course, at that time, I was only 12. Most people at my school don't know it, but... I'm rich. And I mean rich. My house has 5 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 3 fireplaces, tennis court, sport court, balcony, gazebo, a private/diving/heated pool, private/heated spa, a game room with a pool table, a mini movie theater, and you should see my parents bathroom. Esme wanted a house with a view, and we sure got one hell of a view.
"Let's get Jasper." I said. We left the room to go find Jasper, and found him laughing his butt off in the living room.
"What's so funny Jasper?" I asked. He pointed to the fireplace, struggling to lift his arm up, he was holding onto his stomach with the other, trying his best to stop laughing for a few seconds, and failing completely. Emmett and I whipped our heads to the fireplace.
There, inside the fireplace, was Rosalie in overalls and a rag wrapped around her head, scrubbing furiously at the walls. She was covered in dust with a frustrated expression, muttering to herself. There were several cleaning supplies, such as a duster, scrubs, sponges, spray...thingeys for cleaning, and...other stuff. I could smell the chemicals from the liquid supplies.
Emmett and I burst out laughing. "Jasper...what...is...Rose...doing?!?! HAHAHA!!!" I said between laughs.
He managed to stop laughing to answer. "That my brother, is what I like to call pay back for recking the car. Emmett, you're next." Emmett stopped laughing and backed away from Jasper.
"I think we should go now. The girls aren't going to wait forever," Emmett said in a rush, still backing away.
We left with one last glance of Rosalie, and got into the car. Emmett's jeep only held five seats, so I took my Vanquish to ride with whoever was left.
We got to Angela's house first, though it took us a while to get to her because she lives in a gated neighborhood and we had trouble finding her last name in the listing. Then we made it to Braya's house, though I stayed away from the house because the sprinklers were on and I didn't want water stains on my car. Soon after that we got to Liz's without a problem. We finally got to Cali's house. The only thing was that there wasn't any room for Cali in Emmett's Wrangler, which is why I have my Vanquish, because it seats two, so she came with me.
"Hey Edward," she said as she got in my car. "Nice car. I didn't know you had a Vanquish."
"Yup. Brand new too. But I don't want any chances of getting it hurt, so I take my Volvo to school instead."
"That makes sense." She said, and smiled at me. I smiled back. It was silent for a bit except for the radio until Cali spoke up. "Edward...would you mind saving me a dance when we get there? I mean...just so I can get comfortable there, and all." She rambled, looking anywhere but at me.
"Okay, that would be nice," I promised, smiling down at her again.
Soon we got into conversation, and after a while of talking, we finally made it to the club. I parked my car in a darker area of the parking lot so it was difficult to see. I helped Cali out of the car, and we made our way over to everyone else.
"Are you ready to PARTY?!" Emmett yelled, throwing his arms up in the air.
"Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit much?" Jasper accused him. Emmett didn't know how to reply to that, so he just slowly started putting his arms down with an intensely confused look on his face.
The girls laughed at him and stalked off into the building, and me and Jasper followed them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bella POV
"So, where do you want to go?" Cloud asked as he drove down the street. He had just changed, and we were trying to figure out a good place to go.
"Umm...how 'bout the mall? We could watch a movie, and then eat." I suggested. "Or we could go to Black Point again."
"It's your pick." He said, smiling down at me. I smiled back at him.
Movie, or club...? The club is fun and has good music, and some people from the crew might be there, but then again it's also loud, and crowded, and full of perverts and skanks. The movie is good because I can cuddle, and then we could eat after that, so when I get home, I don't have to eat my mother's awful cooking.
"Movie." I decided.
"Movie it is." He said.
Soon we had made it to Fashion Square mall, and I saw Alicia, Mike, Kevin, Lauren, and Ally all sitting together in front of Paradise Bakery.
"I didn't know they would be here! Hey, why don't we go say hi?" I suggested.
Cloud took one look at them, and made a face. "Do we have to?"
"Yes! What's wrong with my friends?" I asked, though my mind was screaming '... What isn't wrong with my friends...?'
"Well...can you handle the truth?" He asked cautiously, as if he didn't want to offend me. Though I'm sure he read perfectly what I was just thinking by my expression. I was always said to be an open book.
"...Yeah, I think so."
He took in a big breath. "The guys are really bad posers, and the girls are whores." He admitted. I pursed my lips and looked down, grinding my foot in the floor, making a few particles of dust meet and create small dust bunnies.
"I know..." I said. I grabbed his arm and started pulling him to them. "Just be pretty and nice, and they'll love you in no time." Cloud just rolled his eyes and laughed.
"You're so strange some times Bella." He said, and then smiled. "It's very cute."
I laughed at that. "I'd hardly say I'm just cute," I said in a mock playful seductive tone.
"That's right, you're more like a sexy mama with a bad ass," he said in that same tone.
"Well you're a slice of hotty pie there yourself, stud man," I shot back at him in the same voice. By now we were laughing so hard had to hold onto each other for support.
"Bella, Cloud! Come here." Someone called for us. I looked up and saw Ally waving us over, along with everyone else staring in our direction.
"Come on," I nudged him so he would follow.
We sat down in a few chairs near them, because there weren't enough at the table.
"So, what are you guys doing here?" I asked casually, trying to start conversation.
"Oh, we're waiting for someone, and just hanging out a bit before heading to Black Point. You should come with." Mike suggested.
"No, thanks. We were just going to watch a movie here. I'm not really in the mood for partying." I replied truthfully. I didn't want to be dancing for the rest of the day, I just kind of wanted to hang.
Ally's phone rang and she looked at who sent it. Apparently it was a text.
Her jaw dropped as she read. "She left without us! Come on, we have to go!" She ordered, motioning for everyone to get up.
"Well we better go, bye Bella." Alicia said while standing up, and being followed by everyone else. They all waved bye, and soon enough they were gone.
"Well, now that, that's over, what do you want to see?" Cloud asked, clapping his hands once when he said well.
"Uhh...I Know Who Killed Me! I heard it was really great!" I squealed.
Cloud laughed. "Okay, let's go get the tickets."
We went over to the booth, and it had a pretty lengthy line, but it wasn't all too bad.
"Cloud, you don't have to buy a ticket for me, I can get it on my own." I said when we were next in line.
He looked down at me and raised an eyebrow. "Really?" He asked in an awfully faked surprised voice...which was the point I guess. "Then may I ask, where is your money?"
I opened my mouth to answer, but stopped myself. I was about to say where it was, but that was the problem. It was in my messenger bag at home. I had forgotten to switch it into my purse. 'Damn my heedlessness.' I thought to myself.
I tried opening my mouth again, but failed completely in coming up with something to say. Cloud took that as my answer.
"That's what I thought," he chuckled under his breath. He took his credit card out of is wallet and handed it to the slightly large teenager with bad acne behind the counter.
"Next time I promise to let you pay, if you have your wallet...maybe." He muttered the last word. I rolled my eyes with a smile on my face that was really there for no reason. Maybe it was just because I was so happy with him, he made me feel so safe and...loved.
We got our tickets and then went into the theater. We got a small popcorn, and one drink to share. The movie finally started after all the trailers of all the "Coming to Theaters Soon" movies.
I snuggled into Cloud's chest after we pulled up the arm rest. He rested his head on top of mine. "Comfy?" He whispered into my hair. I answered by snuggling closer, letting him know that was a "Most comfortable I've ever been."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edward POV
After a while of dancing with the group of us, I decided to take break and go to the bar. Of course, it wasn't the kind of bar that gives out alcohol. It pretty much had every drink you could think of that doesn't have alcohol.
"Edward!" Called a high voice that I immediately took in as Alice. "I knew you weren't going to change into something nicer, so I decided to buy you some clothe at the mall today!" She squealed.
I stared at her in horror. "No, please! Spare me!" I said as if I was in an old and cheesy horror movie, the kind that are in black and white.
She grinned evilly at me, and the next thing I knew, I was being shoved into the ladies restroom, and Alice locking the door. She pushed me into a stall and threw some clothe over it. I caught it before it touched the ground.
"Alice, is this really necessary?" I asked, hoping she'll realize how pointless this is and let me go.
"Yes, and no," she said sternly. I sighed in defeat.
After I finished changing, I came out of the stall and she looked me up and down, then shook her head.
"What's wrong? And don't tell me it doesn't look good, because if you do I'll..."
"Shut up!" Alice yelled, interrupting me. "You look fine, you just put it on wrong." She stepped forward so she was inches away from me, and pulled my shirt out of my pants, put the collar up, and lowered my pants a bit. Then she prodded me towards the mirror.
"Kneel," she authorized. I did what she told me. I understood why I had to kneel, considering she was 4'10", and I was 6' 2".
My head was the only thing I could see of myself in the mirror. Alice was messing around with my hair, shuffling it, wetting it, putting it in different directions. I sighed impatiently, but she ignored it. I've learned not to fight against Alice when she was doing one of her "makeovers" because it only angered her, and for a short person, she could be very violent.
Finally she stopped messing with my hair. Then she told me to stay where I was, and was filling up the sink with water, making sure to close it first.
"What are you doing...?" I asked carefully and hesitantly. She only smiled mischievously back at me, and I groaned.
When it was full she, she splashed water in my face.
"What the f-" I was yet again interrupted by her rubbing some weird, rough, lotion gunk on my face. "Alice! What is this?!"
"Do you really need to know?" She asked irritated.
"Well, yes! It would be very nice to know what you're putting on my face.
"Relax! Do you have to be such a winy baby? If you must know, it's a special type of soap especially made for cleaning your face so it looks sparkley clean!"
I stayed silent as she kept scrubbing my face. It was starting to hurt, she was scrubbing really hard, and the soap was really rough. I finally asked a question that has been bugging me.
"Alice, why are you doing this? I mean, we're only at a club. Not a big party, or a dance." I questioned. This was getting really frustrating.
"Because. You just had to have all your friends go out tonight, which includes Jasper! And I was really looking forward to tonight's date with him! Pay-back's a bitch Edward." She explained. I groaned angrily.
"It wasn't my idea to come here! It was Emmett's! I don't even want to be here in the first place." I complained.
"Oh..."
"So will you let go and find Emmett to torture him instead of me?" I asked hopefully.
"Of course not!" She said appalled. Then she giggled. "Why not finish what we started." Now she was really scaring me. She had that evil glint in her eye.
"Fine! Just hurry up before someone needs to use the bathroom."
"OK!" Alice squeaked, and then continued to rub my face. Eventually - and thankfully - she cleaned the soap of my face by soaking paper towels in the full sink. She stood me up and looked up and down again. She nodded and smiled to herself. Then she got out AX and started spraying me all around with it.
"Alice, XcoughX stop! XcoughXcoughX" I begged her.
"XsighX fine," and she stopped. "OK! Now you're ready to go out there! You have no idea how much better you look, Edward!"
"Whatever. Just make sure no ones looking while I get out of here.
"Right," she skipped to the door and creaked it open, and looked around, making sure the coast was clear. "All clear."
"Good." I sighed in relief and cautiously walked out of the bathroom. She was right, no one was looking. I was actually surprised nobody needed to use the restroom. It was a long time that we were in there. I walked back to the "bar" and noticed no one had taken my seat, so I went over and sat in the same place as before. Not even a minute later, a girl came, and sat next to me. I ignored her, thinking she was just sitting there. How wrong that was.
"Hi. I'm Lexy, what's your name?" She flirted, twisting her hair and smiled at me. Only one word as to how I felt at the moment. Confused.
"Umm... Edward." I answered, looking at her. She couldn't be older then 15. "How old are you?" I asked.
"!7 years old!" She replied, straightening her self up right, bringing out her chest more as if to look older.
"Oh, really?" ☺ hehehehe, this is going to fun. "So what school do you go to, Lexy?"
"Chaparral. I'm a junior." She lied. You could tell, because she was starting to fidget with her shirt.
"You are? So am I, I haven't seen you there. What classes do you have?" (A/N- OK! Before I go any further, I have to say something. If you live in AZ this isn't important, but if you don't, the school grades are weird here. it goes from 1st-6th grade for Elementary, for JH 7-freshman, and HS sophomore-senior. So yeah! that's it!)
She hesitated to answer. "Umm, English 1st hour..."
"With who?" I interrupted her. I could see sweat running down the side of her face.
"Um... Mrs...eh, Mrs.-"
"Stop!" I ordered, holding my hands up. I laughed, "Obviously you don't go to Chaparrel, or any high school for that matter. How old are you really?" I asked. She had a face of shock, embarrassment, and relief on her face.
"Umm... I'm actually 15, and I'm a 9th grader at Copper Ridge...I'm here with my cousin. She goes to Chaparrel and is a senior." Lexy said sheepishly.
"Lexy? Lexy, what are you doing here?!" I heard Cali's voice coming near us from the crowd. I turned to her voice, and there she was, fuming.
"Actually, it was more like following her here, and spying on her. Got to go, bye! It was nice meeting you!" She said in a rush, and then ran, blending into the crowd. Just now did Cali actually get here.
"Damn it, why does she always follow me?" She muttered to herself, probably not meaning for me to hear. She turned to me "I am so sorry for that, she's not even in high school yet. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you, Sir?" She asked.
... Sir? Did she just...? "Cali, did you just call me Sir?"I asked in disbelief.
Her jaw dropped, and she gawked at me. "Edward? Oh my God! What happened to you? You look so...so...clean. Not that you weren't clean before! You're just cleaner then when we got here. But you weren't dirty or anything!I can't believe it though! I just...what happened?" She asked again.
"I got attacked by Alice. She shoved me into the restroom and...did this," I gestured to myself.
"Who's this boy toy you got here Cali?" Came Emmett's booming voice.
"There is no 'boy toy', this is Edward."
I stood up and faced him. It took him a few seconds more then a few seconds to realize I was, indeed, Edward.
"DUDE!! What did you do?" He asked, attracting stares...which lead to me, making me uncomfortable.
"Nothing, it was Alice." I told him. He started laughing at me and put his arm around me.
"So Alice strikes again! I can't believe you let her give you a makeover, you should be more manly then that dude," he chided. He was such a hypocrite.
I narrowed my eyes. "She's coming after you next," I warned him. Immediately he turned pale white and his arm dropped from my shoulder.
"That's not fair...I...I have two people plotting revenge on me now!! Why me?!" He whispered the beginning of it, and ended yelling, dropping to is knees as if he were begging for his life up to the heavens. People were definitely staring.
"Do you have to be so dramatic about it?" Angela asked as she came up. "People are staring you know. Actually...their staring at you." She pointed to me. "Who are you anyway?"
My jaw dropped. What did Alice do to me? I look completely different. What was that soap?! "I'm Edward!" I yelled. Her eyes widened.
"Hi Edward. I'm Sarah," a girl said, coming up to me.
"I'm Danielle."
"Hi, I'm Riley."
And so on it went. After a minute I was being circled by girls, all introducing themselves, and asking to dance, and trying to speak in seductive voices. It was getting really annoying. 'Is there something in the drinks here? Why are all these girls jumping at me?' I thought back to my "makeover" And then it dawned on me. 'Damn! Those commercials weren't lying! That AX really does work like they said it would! NOOOO!!!'
I ran out of the crowd and to find Alice. She was in the middle of the dance floor, talking with The Crew. I hesitated to approach them at first, but I was starting to get the attention of a lot of girls, so I quickly went in and grabbed her arm.
"Alice! What was that soap gunk you put on my face?! And why did you put that AX on me?" I shouted at her, but not loud enough for anybody else to hear with the boisterous music playing.
"Umm...I'm not really sure. I got it from some street vendor in Mexico a few weeks ago when I was vacationing. Why do you ask?"
"You got it where, from who? Are you insane? Where in Mexico?"
"Somewhere in the desert on the way to a beach, it was such a cute little shack too!"
"Well, people don't even recognize me! That thing changed my entire face!"
"No it didn't, it simply brings out your features more. Now stand straight, and look hot!" She giggled.
Before I could say something else, somebody tapped on my shoulder. I turned around to find Cali standing there with an embarrassed look. "Um...I have to go soon to take my cousin home, because her mom called me and...yeah, I don't need to get into detail. But...you promised me a dance, so this is your last chance." She explained, smiling nervously up at me.
I smiled back, "All right. Shall we?" I held out my hand and bowed a little, as if we were at a formal ball. She laughed lightly and grabbed my hand. I lead her further away from Alice and The Crew. The song that was just playing ended, and the song Paralyzer by Finger Eleven began.
Did you like it? I know it's a little weird, but whatever! did any of you read the last HP book? I hear it's really depressing. I might read them if I feel like it, I mean, it won't take long I guess... a month, two tops if I get distracted. ok, well anyway you're most likely not interested in that, well...
Review!!! please! I want to hit 50. even if it's only like one word, review!!!
lots of ♥ from me, mBcH
