BPOV

The next few days went by quickly. We had very little trouble from those other English people who tried to pick up a fight, we went to the Turkish market and went to Antalya to check out the sites. It was beautiful and boiling. I was so glad when Edward bought me an ice cream and another bottle of water. It was so sweet as well. We learn that the statues were black for a reason- something to do with the war or other countries or something. I wasn't really listening to Alice as she read the booklet. Antalya was again, beautiful. It was so cheery and busy and there was an amazing view of the port! It was really something! As we went for the drive home in the taxi, we were wiped. All i could think about was jumping in the pool, in clothes and all. Edward rubbed small circles on my leg, soothing me. I cuddled closer to him and he picked up my legs, putting them on his lap. As the days had past, we had inevitably, gotten closer. I had never felt this way about a boy before. Not even Nahuel. Our nights sometimes consisted of our group going back to the disco, but I haven't downed any drinks lately. I've learnt my lesson. Plus, If i were to have sex with Edward, honestly, I would want to remember it. the other nights, we would go to the lobby and chat for hours, within the circle of our group, or find other places to sit, such as outside of the hotel in the seating area, the karaoke bar, the sofas, or in our room, as it was much bigger. We all acted like close friends, even Angela and...Jess. Jess had still been acting odd, but the reason why they weren't there at the start was because they were boy-hunting. Otherwise meaning that Angela was dragged by Jess to go boy hunting for Jess.

Edward sighed, content. I laid my head on his chest and felt his breathing torso. Alice and Jazz were in a simlar position infront of us. Angela and Jess were silent on the opposite side of us, and Em was drinking down a whole bottle of water as Rose read another magazine.

Em whined."How long until we are back? I need to pee."

I laughed. "Not long now, just don't pee in the car. I think if you stop drinking then you'll need to pee less."

Emmett nodded, holding the water out in front of his face. "You're right. But whenever I drink something other than juice or water, you all complain it's bad for me. Now, when I'm drinking water, you still complain. Its a win lose situation!"

"You know its bad if you drink TOO much water." I said, my science knowledge flowing through. Emmett looked shocked and scared.

"W-w-what?" Em stuttered. "Am I going to die?"

"NO, but my science teacher told me about this girl who drank litres and litres of water when she took some drugs at a party, as she knew the drug would make her dehydrated. So she drank LOADS within a short amount of time, and she was either hospitalized, or...you know. She drank so much though (A/N- don't be afraid to drink too much water xD! read the bold bit at bottom about the 'water story') so you'll be fine. I was just saying..." I tried to make him less afraid of water. Emmett shrugged.

"okay then, smarty" And he took another gulp. I smiled, thankful he wasn't discouraged. I noticed Jess was looking a little tense.

"Jess? You alright?" She nodded. I looked at Edward oddly, who shrugged, frowning a little at Jess's behaviour.

"I'll talk to her later" Edward whispered quietly. I nodded.

When the taxi came to a stop, Emmett dashed for the nearest toilet, slipping slightly when running, but managing to catch his own fall, and carried on running at the same speed, having not learnt. The rest of us ran for the pool. I saw Jess walking behind everyone else, so Edward slowed down to talk. I didn't want to know. I ran with the rest of them and dived into the pool, ravishing in the coolness and promising myself I'll never take water for-granted. I sighed in contentment. Just then Emmett came running again and did a flip into the water, causing the splash to knock my floating, making me choke. I coughed for a few seconds, then felt better.

"Bella, you okay?" Em asked. I nodded, but he slapped my back anyway, making me cough more, incidentally. I saw Edward and Jess still heading over here, so I waved them over. Edward waved back, gave Jess another few words, and ran off in my direction, diving under and reaching me. I tried to swim behind Emmett, but he caught my feet and dragged me under. I made another feeble attempt to get away from him, but he wsn't having any of that. he grabbed me by the waist and wrapped both arms around me, kissing me underwater. We continued to kiss when we floated to the surface, not realising how Rose swore and Emmett clicked his knuckles again. Only when he shouted "OI!" did we look up.

The ginger lad from the other group had gone to talk to Jess, who was talking to him back. At the sound of Emmett's voice, the ginger guy looked at him, startled, but Jess pulled him away and they started walking to the bar. I looked at Edward and Em. What will Em do? What did Edward and Jess talk about? Edward looked at Jess longingly.

"I need to talk to her, tell her what that group was doing. She nor Angela know about it." Angela heard this.

"Heard about what?"

"You know that group of English who we don't talk to?" She nodded, curious as to why we never spoke."They tried to mess with our 'group' last week. Em may have made them scared of us, or rather, just him and Bella and Alice." He winked at me and then grinned at Alice.

"That guy Jess is talking to is part of that group." Angela looked shocked.

"What were you talking about before?" i asked, curious. Edward looked at me, and squeezed me.

"Well Jess was feeling a little annoyed at how...Alice and you have found us and are so comfortable with us, and Em and Rose, and she isn't feeling as confident." My mouth dropped. She can't take THAT out on us! That's isn't our fault she isn't 'feeling' as good about everything that has happened this week! "It isn't your fault, of course, it's just that she wants to find someone she is comfortable with herself." I looked at Jess, sympathetically. Well her and that guy did look like they were having fun...Jess was laughing at something he said, and then they both ordered some drinks. I just hope it doesn't get the the stage of them using her to get to us, or whatever.

About an hour later, we were still in the pool, having fun. Jess and the ginger guy walked to the poolside close to us and sat down. Jess called us over, happier. I swam over, cautious of him. He looked afraid of me, so I tried to make a good...second impression. I smiled lightly.

"Hey Jess, who's your friend?" Jess looked over at him then back at me.

The ginger guy held out a hand at me, and I shook it lightly. "Hi...I'm Colin, you?"

"Bella." I decided to break the ice quickly. "I hope you aren't like your...friends... And for the record, I was merely protecting myself."

He nodded."No...I didn't want James to go do that. He is very...possessive and controlling. You were right to do that. He deserved it. Have you seen those girls that were all over him? One of them, is my twin sister, Corin. The one with the red streak? I know she's my sis and all, but she is a slut. No doubt." He looked down, hands in a fist.

I sat on the other side of him on the poolside "Don't worry about it. Okay..." I pointed out everyone in our group, and welcomed him to hang around whenever. Colin turned out to be a quite decent guy. I really liked him and was glad that Jess finally found someone, instead of feeling left out. Colin was...hilarious. He told me a story of how Tanya, the strawberry blond haired girl, tried to seductively walk along the poolside to 'attract' the boys, and he pushed her in the pool mid-strut. She fell ungracefully.

"Colin!" Corin waved him over. He shook his head. She frowned, then strutted towards us, obviously conscious of Em, Jazz and Edward. Ugh.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Corin asked sweetly. Colin sighed and got up, walking over to a spot about 10m away from us. I looked at Jess, worried. I didn't want Colin to feel pressurised by anyone to stay with that group if he doesn't want to. Tanya and Bree joined Corin in talking to Colin. Tanya pointed at us and shouted loudly:

"Because you just CAN'T!"

It was an obvious argument. "Jess, we have to do something." She nodded. We both got up and joined the circle.

"Hi Tanyahh, Bree and Corin..." We said, just as sweetly. "We were just wondering...whats the problem? Because if Colin wants to hang around with us, then he can!"

"Well, we were just explaining how you are a man-stealing biatch! So obviously it is wrong to hang around with you!" Tanya put out.

"And who the hell did we steal?" I asked sharply. " Give me names!"

"HIM!" She pointed to Edward. "I SAW HIM FIRST! YOU STOLE HIM!"

Edward noticed it was himself that was being referred to, so got out of the pool and joined me.

"No I didn't STEAL him! He was never yours!" I shouted at her, going into her personal bubble now. Edward pulled me back slightly.

"Why would I prefer a bitch to Bella?" He asked Tanya simply. Her mouth shut and she whimpered.

"Bree, come on! Corin, If you want to stick with your dick of a brother, go ahead." She turned and left. Corin looked at Colin pleadingly. He shook his head.

"I'm sorry" she whispered as she followed the girls, like a puppy. Edward put a hand on Colin's shoulder.

"You okay? You can join them if you want, we won't hold it against you..." Colin shook his head again, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm good, I didn't want to look like a douche-bag, on holiday. Its over now." He smiled and took Jess's hand, which she gladly accepted. "Now, have you guys jumped off the pier yet?" We all grinned.

Thanks for reading! Btw the water story did come from my science teacher. We were learning about osmosis and diffusion and such (like E and B in twilight, lol) and she just came out with that! So lesson 3 did contain abit about drugs, who knew? I didn't xD.

Lesson 3 xD- drinking water is good for you, drink at least 1500ml (3 bottles of 500ml) on average a day to keep you hydrated. Just try not to gulp it all down in a last minute thing. Look it up if you want, to see if my science teacher was correct.
