Chapter 14

"You get ready for school, I'll be back soon."

I turned round to give Edward a questioning look, but he was already gone. I sighed happily and stood up. Everything seemed much better when you had found the love of your life. I went to the window to admire the view. The sun seemed brighter, the birds sounded chirpier. The tress were gorgeous shades of crimson, orange and amber. There was a slight breeze, making the leaves of the trees sway lazily. The green grass had drops of dew on them. The day just seemed really fresh.

Content with my life, I laid some clothes out and then headed for the shower. I enjoyed a long hot shower, that seemed to relax me even more. I walked into my room, smiling at the thought of my night. I heard someone moving in my room again. Boy, Edward doesn't stay away for long, I thought.

I swung the door open and said, "Edward, I thought you were picking me up later…"

I stopped mid-sentence.

Instead of seeing Edward like I thought I would, I saw Yvonne on my chair with her feet up on my desk. She was flicking through a fashion magazine I had bought, and seemed very engrossed in it.

"Looking for my dumb-ass brother?" She said, dropping the magazine and looking at me. "Nah, he'll be back later. I wanted to see you in the meantime. Like my shoes?"

She pointed at the black biker boots. This was a little different than her usual style. On the back of the boots, there was a diamond studded skull and cross bones. She was wearing a black leather mini skirt and a brilliant red strapless top. As usual, she wore her black leather jacket to go.

"Oh and I got this done on my jacket."

She stood up and turned round. On the back of the jacket there was a large Y with a halo around it in diamond studs.

"What, no skull and cross bones?" I said sarcastically.

"Nope. That's only for my biker look and that would have meant I could only use it when I was going for this look." She took her hand and gestured towards her outfit. "Oh, and I thought the clothes you were going to wear today were far too drab. So I picked out an outfit for you. Far more our style."

I groaned. She didn't understand that my style wasn't the same as hers. I looked at the clothes to see there was only one leather garment there. That was a first. She usually tried to dress me the exact same as her.

My tight black skinny jeans and a green strapless top finished with my leather jacket. I suppose she did try to get me like her but I had not leather skirt in my closet. I quickly pulled my clothes on while Yvonne turned back to her magazine.

"Now, how should we do your hair?"

"Why are you being nice to me? You made it clear last night that you weren't happy."

"God you are so silly." She flung the magazine on the desk again. "Of course I wasn't happy. You completely stopped me from using my power on you. Then you saw me feed on that guy. Oh and you are dating my brother." She let out her breath. "Who can be such a pain in the ass by the way, consider this my warning."

She twirled over to me, her curly blonde hair flowing around her. Her hair had always had a life of its own, flying everywhere. Maybe that's what made her so intimidating, it looked like an unearthly power made her hair flow.

"Your hair is so last season, Bella. Let me try and do something to make it work."

I barely had time to utter an answer as she grabbed a pair of scissors and started to cut. I shrieked, horrified as chunks of my hair fell to the floor.

"Done. That's your hair cut. Now time to style it!" she cried.

She grabbed my curling tongs and set to work, while tears streamed down my face. She had cut my beautiful hair. I had spent ages growing it, now it was gone.

"Stop being such a baby. I have been around for a long time, I think I know how to work hair, babe." She grabbed hair spray and started going crazy with it. I couldn't believe what was happening. I had no urge to fight back, I just sat there, deflated.

"Oh, dahling! You look absolutely fantastic!" She exclaimed, in a posh voice. "Look in the mirror, you have to see my creation!"

I looked into the mirror, tears poling in my eyes as I thought of how awful it was going to look. I won't go to school for weeks, I thought.

What I saw in the mirror though, was a crying girl with amazing hair. I couldn't even begin to comprehend what had happened. It was shorter, but not by much. It had volume and wasn't sitting straight down like it usually was. My hair was like Yvonne's. It was flowing. It was twisted and turned in every direction and it sort of floated. I was mesmerized.

"How…" I was lost for words.

She grinned at me in the mirror. "It's to say sorry, for how I acted last night. I was a right bitch." She explained. "I told you I knew how to do hair."

She winked at me. She took my hand and made me stand up.

"You'll need a pair of heels now." She walked over to my closet and ransacked it.

Shoes were flying everywhere as she tried to find the perfect pair.

"These will have to do." Came her voice from inside the closet. She pulled out one of my favourite pairs of heels. They were black, around 4 inches and had an open toe. They had a little black bow just above the toe. I slid them on and appreciated myself in the mirror. I had to admit it, I looked good.

"Now for the best part." Yvonne picked up my jacket and turned it around to show me the back. It had the letter B with a halo around it in diamond studs on the back.

"No way, you did not just ruin my jacket," I said staring at the symbol.

"You're right, I didn't ruin it. I pimped it," She said laughing. "Just wait Bella, with us wearing these, everyone will want one like that. With your celebrity status and my skills, we could totally take over the fashion world."

I rolled my eyes and shrugged on the jacket. "For once, I think you re wrong about this."

"Well, we will see tomorrow, I bet you most of the girls at your school will have a jacket like this."

"You're on," I laughed. I remembered why I was such good friends with Yvonne, she was such a laugh.

"I'm gonna go now. I don't want to interrupt your car journey with Edward." She stuck her tongue out at me. "I will hang around long enough though to see Edward's face when he says you though, I like to see people appreciate my work."

I giggled. I really wondered what Edward would do. Would he think I looked silly? I panicked.

"Speaking of Edward, here he is now."

I looked out the window but Edward's Volvo wasn't there. I kept looking and then saw his car in the distance, just coming up the road.

"You could hear that?" I gasped.

"Sure can!" She headed towards the door. I stayed to watch Edward's car approach. When he drove up, he got out of the car to come to the door, with a determined look on his face. I got butterflies in my stomach as I fixed myself in the mirror. I dabbed on a bit of lip gloss, used some brown eyes shadow and a little bit of mascara. I done a twirl in front of the mirror to check I was ok from all angles. I grabbed my purse and headed out in the hall. I could hear Charlie's gentle snores after a long night in work. I smiled at made my way onto the stairs. I was halfway down when Yvonne opened the door. I expected for Edward to look up at me in amazement, and for me to blush. He would have grabbed my hand and led me down the stairs and kissed me, because we hadn't seen each other for at least an hour.

But nothing ever goes how I expect it any more.

Instead, Edward grabbed Yvonne by the neck and slammed her against the wall.

"What are you doing here?" he hissed at her. "Come to harm Bella to hurt me?"

Yvonne's eyes were wide with shock and fear.

"No!" She spluttered. Edward's eyes were animal like, his face contorted with anger.

"Leave her Edward!" I cried. This made the effect I was expecting in the first place.

He looked up at me with awe in his face. I liked to think that there was a breeze coming from somewhere, making me look god-like as I stood on the stairs looking down on them. Probably not though.

I walked quickly down the stairs. That is actually not a good idea when you are wearing heels though because I got to the last step and tripped over air. Yes, air. I tend to do that a lot.

Just as I was about to faceplant in the ground, Edward caught me in his arms.

"I've got you," he said, as he lifted me up. There was not one strained look in his face, it looked as though he was picking up a feather. He set me back down on my feet and I hugged him.

"Yvonne was just here this morning to apologize, nothing bad," I told him soothingly. His faced relaxed and smiled at me.

"Told you, bro." Yvonne said, rubbing her neck. "Don't be so harsh next time."

She strutted to the door, her heels clicking against the floor. She turned back and winked at me. "See you later, Bells. We should go shopping."

Then she was gone. Edward visibly relaxed more and I rubbed his shoulders. I had no idea if this made him feel good as his skin was rock solid. He shivered and grabbed my hands.

"We better head off. Are you sure she didn't do anything to harm you?" he asked, still slightly worried.

"She only attacked me with scissors," I said, dismissively. His eyebrows shot up and his face looked alarmed.

"She did what?"

"Calm, calm. I meant she cut my hair," I said, gesturing towards the new style. "Do you like it?"

"I love it, you look amazing."

He kissed me slowly, leaving me with shivers.

"You're a good kisser," I told him truthfully.

"As are you," he said as he climbed in the car.

He drove to school rather fast, which made me, a cops daughter, rather nervous.

"Slow down Edward!" I shrieked.

"He just smirked at me but slowed down a little bit. I calmed down and soon I saw the gates of school. We had gotten there in record time. Edward found a parking spot quite close to the school.

"Are you ready to face the prying eyes of our gossiping peers? You know we will be the talk of the school."

"Let them talk." I smiled at Edward. He leant over and kissed me quickly then got out of the car. He quickly jogged over to my side of the car and opened the door for me. Yet another way to show he was the perfect gentleman.

I graciously thanked him and shut the door. I grabbed his hand and got ready to face the day ahead.

A/N - Sorry to take so long again, I hope you enjoy it!
