EPOV (Continuing from where his POV stopped)
"Sooo..." I said, trying to clear the silence
"So?" She replied
"Why were you crying?" I asked.
"I was talking to Jasper" She sighed.
Jasper? She was talking to Jasper? At least I know I didn't make her cry, but... Jasper? I know he is her boyfriend and all. I shouldn't care so much, but I do.
"Are you jealous?" She laughed
"What? No" I scoffed. Trying to hide the fact I really was.
"Sure sure" She replied, laughing again "Anyway, I called to talk to him. To tell him how I was feeling... And well I heard a female voice in the background – "
"Alice?" I said, cutting her off
"Yeah, how did you know?" She asked.
"She had been following him all night" I stated. "It wasn't hard to figure out" I shrugged
Alice looked like a lost puppy following him around after his and Bella's little issue. It wasn't difficult to figure out something was up. But why the hell would she do this to Bella? Her best friend.
"Oh.. Ok. Well anyway he tried to deny it... and so that made me think he had been cheating on me. That's why I was crying" She replied, with a sigh
I slowly nodded my head, showing her that I was listening and was interested about what happened with her, or too her.
"Then I told him what I called to tell him, and I ended it" She continued, looking at me intently
"Are you ok?" I asked, a bit concerned
"Yeah, I'm a little upset that Alice would do that though ya know"
"Yeah it doesn't seem right"
"No it doesn't, she is supposed to be my best friend. And he was my boyfriend" She huffed
"You can do better than that" I said, It's true. She could do ten times better than him, especially after that.
"Like you?" She replied, with a small smile playing on the corners of her lips.
"You could even do better than me" I laughed, of course she can do better than me, she deserved better than me too.
"What if I don't want to do better?" She said, sounding serious
what am I supposed to say? I don't want to be the guy that lets her down…
"I'll change" I said "I'll change for you" I promised.
She nodded her head, looking at me.
"I trust you" She replied "what are we going to do about this" She said, motioning between herself and me.
"Well.. I want to give it a go but only if you want to, I don't want to make you feel too uncomfortable"
"I think we should take it slow. Maybe be friends first, then see where that takes us" That sounds like a good enough plan…
"I can deal with that" I laughed, but could I do it?
"Ok. Well I'm going to go to bed. But I'll see you later?" She said as she walked away, looking at me from over her shoulder and giving me a sweet smile
"Yeah sure. Good night, Bella"
"Night Edward"
After that, I felt rather happy. She did like me after all, she broke up with Jasper for me! I felt like doing back flips. But then, what is going to happen at school? What about when and if Bella and I make it official, what will happen then?
I finished my smoke and climbed into bed, closing my eyes and forgetting about the 'what if's'. I fell asleep happy, thinking about everything that had happened with Bella that night.
********************
I woke up to my phone ringing, I glanced over at by bedside table checking the time 8:00am who the hell would call at 8am on a Saturday morning?
I searched for my phone and held it up to my ear letting out a yawn as I answered the phone.
"This better be important" I said in an annoyed tone once I answered the phone, I had no idea who it was, I didn't check the caller I.D
"Edward?" I heard a female voice on the other line
"Yeah, who is this?"
"It's Rosalie. I need a favour"
"What's up?"
"Emmett and I have an appointment this morning at 9:30 and he is still in bed. I can't wake him up and Bella didn't budge I pocked her and yelled and everything. People in this family sleep like fucken logs"
"What do you want me to do?" I asked laughing
"I need you to come and wake him up"
"But I'm in fucken bed"
"You can go back to bed once you have woken him up" She sighed
"Fine, whatever. Open the front door for me"
"Thank you!!" And she hung up
I crawled out of bed, extra slow. Trying to wake myself up a little. I pulled on a pair of black tracksuit pants, I'm sure Rose wouldn't appreciate it if I rocked up in my boxers. I didn't bother about a top, I was only going next door.
I jogged sleepily down the stairs to the front door then dashed across the front yard. I was met by Rosalie who was standing in her dressing gown at the front door.
"Let's get this over with so I can go back to bed" I said as I walked past her
"Don't you own any tops?" She asked with a small chuckle
"Yes I do. But I couldn't be bothered putting one on" I stated
"Fair enough" She sighed.
I walked into Emmett's room, where he was sleeping, snoring loudly.
"Fuck Rose, how on earth do you sleep with that" I laughed
"It's hard" She said shaking her head.
I tried shaking him lightly, then shook harder and harder. He didn't budge. I pulled at his ears, pocked his eyes and pinched his cheeks… everything and he wouldn't move, until I slapped him hard across the face. If that didn't work I was going to resort to using a bucket of water again.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" He yelled as he shot out of bed.
"Good he is up, Bye Rose" I said as I started to make my way hastily out of the room
"Thanks' Edward" Rose called after me.
I looked over my shoulder at Emmett who was looking around the room a bit shocked and confused, his cheek was bright red. I laughed at myself and mentally gave myself a pat on the back.
I turned back around and saw something flash in front of me. I tried to stop but I ran straight into it, it was a person, I knew that much.
We tumbled to the ground, I somehow twisted us so that whoever was falling with me wouldn't hit the ground, they landed on top of me and their head flew forward banging with mine.
"Oww" The person said, who I am guessing was Bella considering the bell like voice that rang through my ears.
"Shit" I muttered "This is too much for me this early in the morning" I sighed
"Edward?" Bella said as she looked up at me "Oh my god, I'm sorry did I hurt you?" She said, sounding a bit panicked.
I could hear Rose and Emmett laughing at us from inside their bedroom.
"Yeah Bella I'm fine. I should have watched where I was going"
"What are you doing here?" She laughed, we were still on the ground, she was on top of me. In the middle of the hall way, in front of her brother and his girlfriend.
"Rose called me and asked me to come over and wake Emmett up"
"I
tried waking you up but you didn't budge so I called him" Rose
yelled from inside the bedroom
"Oh,
sorry. I was dead to the world, I was sleeping like a baby… until I
heard Emmett yelling" She laughed. "I suppose I better get off"
She sighed.
I nodded my head laughing at how much it sounded like she didn't want to move. She climbed off me and stood up straightening out her pyjama pants and tank top. Her hair was messy… She looked sexy.
"Ahem" She said, giggling softly.
I stopped staring and looked up at her before climbing to my feet.
"Well, this has been..... Rather interesting. I'm going back home to bed now" I said as I quickly made my way downstairs.
"Bye
Edward" She called after me
"Cya"
I said as I closed the front door.
Well that was embarrassing. Getting busted staring at her, not to mention the fact I was only in a pair of track suit pants.
When I got home I went back to bed pulling the covers up over my head.
BPOV
I
woke up the next morning to Emmett yelling. It scared the shit out of
me. His voice echoed throughout the house.
I jumped out of bed and ran down the hall way towards my brother's room. I saw a flicker of bronze hair come out of the Emmett's bedroom and tried to skid to a stop but ran straight into the person. We toppled over and I landed on top of him on the ground, my head fell forward and hit the persons head hard. It bloody hurt.
"Oww" I muttered as I rubbed the spot on my head.
"Shit" The person groaned beneath me, the velvety voice gave away the fact that it was Edward "This is too much for me this early in the morning" he sighed
"Edward?" I said as I looked down at him "Oh my god, I'm sorry did I hurt you?" Oh god, I hope I didn't hurt him. Wait... what is he doing here?
Emmett and Rose were laughing behind us in Emmett's room. It is kind of funny.
"Yeah Bella I'm fine. I should have watched where I was going"
"What are you doing here?" I laughed.
"Rose called me and asked me to come over and wake Emmett up" He stated.
"I tried waking you up but you didn't budge so I called him" Rose yelled from inside the bedroom
"Oh, sorry. I was dead to the world, I was sleeping like a baby… until I heard Emmett yelling" I laughed, shaking my head
"I suppose I better get off" I sighed.
I was rather comfortable lying on top of Edward. It was like our bodies just fit or something.
He laughed at me and nodded his head. I crawled of him and stood up trying to straighten out my pyjamas. When I looked at Edward, who was still on the ground he was staring at me. His eyes were wide and were trailing up and down my body.
"Ahem" I said, as I giggled softly. I was a bit embarrassed of the fact that he was staring at me, in front of my brother. He stopped staring and climbed to his feet re-adjusting himself.
"Well, this has been..... Rather interesting. I'm going back home to bed now" He said as he quickly made his way downstairs.
"Bye
Edward" I called after him
"Cya"
He said, then I heard the door slam.
I sighed and ran my hand through my messy hair. I was up now, what's the point in going back to bed? I turned around and saw Rose smiling at me and Emmett frowning at me.
"What?" I asked
"There is something going on between you and Edward" Rose sang
"Yeah what happened with jasper?" Emmett growled
"There isn't anything going on between me and Edward." I sighed "And me and Jasper broke up. Well I broke up with him but... well you know what I mean"
"Why would you break up with him?" Rose asked, sounding concerned.
"I would rather not talk about it" I said, leaving out the part about my feelings for Edward
"I wanna know what's going on with you and Edward" She said as she put her hands on her hip, raising an eyebrow at me.
Emmett was looking at us both, his eyes darting from me to Rose and back again, he looked confused.
"Nothing is going on" I said
"Bullshit Bella, tell me" She demanded
"Why? What's it to you?" I almost yelled at her. I don't need to be interrogated.
"So there is something going on?" She laughed
"What? No" I replied
"Bells just tell us" Emmett interrupted, getting frustrated
I looked at him for a moment, he would probably hate me. He and Edward are best friends.
"I.... We-Well, I.... kind of Li-like him" I stuttered.
Emmett's eyes grew wide and Rose smiled so big I thought her face would tear any minute.
"OH MY GOD" She squealed.
"WHAT!?" Emmett Bellowed "You like my best friend... this... no... you can't... he can't.... wh-"
"Emmett shut up!" Rose said hitting him across the back of his head "She can like who she wants to like, it isn't your choice"
"Bu-but he is my best friend, she is my sister... it's... no!"
"Em please. I really like him" I whispered
He looked at me for a minute, opening and closing his mouth a few times.
"Fine, but if he hurts you I will have his head on a fucken pole, so help me god!" He growled
"Thank you Em" I said with a smile on my face.
"So Bella... does he know? How does he feel?" Rose said in a rush, even more excited than before
"Yeah he knows. I told him last night, and he likes me too" I beamed
"So what, are you guys an item or something?" She asked
"No, not yet" I said sadly "After what happened with Jazz... We are going to take it slow. Be friends first then see what happens"
"What happened with Jasper?" She asked
"I rang him last night to talk... and well, Alice was there, I heard her in the background. He lied to me saying it was the Television, he may as well of called me stupid. He said that she had been there because he was upset and went to check on him after he left. Which means she had been there since he left at 11pm. I called him at 2am. She didn't even bother to come see me, or call me to see how I was, and I'm her best friend. Or at least I was" I told them, looking down at my feet.
"I'll kill him!" Rose said, anger filled her voice.
"You don't need to do that Rose" I sighed.
"He is better than that..." She said shaking her head "Why would he do that?" She whispered.
Emmett looked shocked, anyone who knew Jasper knew he wasn't like that. He never tried to hide anything from anyone, especially me. He was always honest, It didn't matter if it was good or bad.
"Don't worry about it Rose." I said, as I turned around making my way back to my room.
I climbed up onto my bed and crossed my legs, letting out an over exaggerated sigh.
My phone vibrated next to me on my bed side table. I picked it up and looked at the caller I.D, Alice. I pressed ignore and put it back on my bedside table. I couldn't talk to her. She betrayed me, in a way I don't think I could ever forgive.
My phone continued to vibrate and I kept ignoring it.
"Bells, we are going" Emmett called from the other side of my bedroom door
"Kay Em, I'll see you soon" I replied.
I heard his heavy footsteps as he made his way down the stairs. I scrambled around my room, gathering the clothes I was going to wear today and pulled my towel off its hanger and made my way to the bathroom.
After having my shower I trudged back into my room and grabbed the load of washing that was starting to pile up. I took it down to the laundry and threw in a load before grabbing a garbage bag and making my way down to the backyard.
This place looked like a pig sty. There were empty bottles everywhere, plastic cups scattered everywhere, lolly wrappers, there was even clothing!
I sighed as I started to pick up the empty bottles of beer, don't people know how to put it in the bin? It's not that fucken hard.
It took me an hour and a half to get the backyard neater. I gagged a few times when it came to picking up spit covered bottles or bottles lying in puddles of vomit. I had to hose down the grass.
I walked back inside and scrubbed my hands clean of any spit or vomit I may have gotten on them
"Bella, Emmett? You guys home?" I heard my dad, Charlie, call from the front door.
"yeah dad, I'm up here" I replied.
I finished washing my hands and dried them on the towel
"Hey Bells" Charlie said, standing in the bathroom doorway.
"Hey dad, how's Nan?" I asked
"yeah she is fine. Just getting old" He sighed
I nodded my head "Where is mum?"
"Oh she is coming, she just wanted to grab a few things out of the car"
"Ok, I'll go see her" I said as I danced past Charlie giving him a quick kiss on the forehead.
I ran downstairs and jumped into my mother's arms. My mum was the best person I knew, Her name is Renee, She has a bubbly personality and is the friendliest, sweetest, most caring person I have ever met.
"Hey mum" I squealed, hugging her tightly
"Hey baby" She laughed "how was your night last night?" She asked
"Yeah was fine. How come you guys are home today? I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow"
"Oh, your grandmother didn't want us to fuss over her so she sent us home. You know how she is" She sighed.
I laughed. Good ole grandma. Thinks she can take care of herself, she is a sweet, but scary as hell old woman. I wouldn't cross her.
Emmett and Rose drove up and parked the car next to our parents. Emmett jumped up and dashed over to mum, nearly knocking her over. He was the BIGGEST mummy's boy I have ever met.
"Mum!" He yelled, almost deafening her "Your home early"
"Yeah Darling" She said with a laugh. I saw her roll her eyes.
I laughed at the two of them and walked back inside and up to my room.
