BPOV
The rest of school was B-O-R-I-N-G! It seemed to drag on for ages! Like almost a life time. I couldn't take my mind off of seeing Edward tonight. Fuck the nerves that swam in my stomach about the fact Jasper and I are telling our parents about our break up, I missed Edward. I was relieved that we finally told everyone. I felt bad for Claire, but really… What was I supposed to do? She didn't tell anyone until after me and Edward started sort of seeing each other. I wasn't about to break that apart, not at the rate I was falling for him.
I sighed and threw my phone on my bed. The clock ticked over really slow, I had been watching it since 4:00 waiting for it to turn 5. Like if I stared at it long enough it would automatically be 5:00. I only had another 5 minutes to wait so I turned on some music and started bouncing around my room, hopefully this would make time go by faster… and distract me so I didn't look at it.
After jumping around for a while I fell on my bed, I peered over at the clock 4:59. Not long now.
"Bella?" I heard Edward call as he walked into my room
Finally! He is here.
"EDWARD" I squealed, jumping into his arms and wrapping my legs around his waist.
Oh god this felt so right.
"Hello to you too" He laughed, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Hi" I said as I snuggled my head into the crook of his neck So warm… smells so good "I missed you" I whispered.
"I missed you too" He replied hugging me closer to him
Is this real? Or am I dreaming? Nooo I can't be dreaming.
He smelt musky, and nice musk scent. Like the lolly.
"So what do you want to do while we wait?" I asked as I un tangled my legs from his waist and jumped down back on my feet.
"I could think of a few things" He winked.
Dirty boy! "We are not doing that mister" I giggled, playfully slapping his arm
"I know, I was joking"
Sure you were!
"Edward?" I said, he looked a mile away.
"Mmmm"
"What are you doing?" I asked grinning at him
"Nothin" He replied with a shrug
He sat down next to me, and I raised my eyebrow at him. I'm not stupid. I got off the bed and walked into my closest. I needed to find something to wear tonight, I didn't want to look under dressed… but then I didn't want to look over dressed either.
Pants, Skirt or dress? Jacket, no jacket? Short sleeve or long sleeve top? GAHHH I need Alice
"Bella, your phone is ringing" Edward called
"Can you answer it"
"Sally's sex shop sally speaking" I heard answer into my phone in a girly voice. It really didn't suit him. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Alice, It's Edward you twit" Oww my saviour!!!
"I thought it was funny" Edward laughed
Black or white? No maybe pink… what about blue? Heel… or no heel? OH and what about my hair? Up or down?... Make up… light? I need one of those machines were you press a button and it dresses you, does your hair and makeup… Maybe I could make one myself? I'm sure it couldn't be that hard? Who am I kidding? I couldn't make one even if I tried. I'll just wait for some brainiac to build one. Then I'll buy it… Or steal it? They will cost allot of money. No I am not a thief.
"Yeah you did. Bella has disappeared into her closet" I heard Edward say to Alice
"Ye-"
"I'll ask Bel-"
Wasn't he going to ask me something? Hellooooo
"Bella, Alice is coming over"
"Oh good, I need help choosing something to wear" I replied as I came out of the closest… Ok that sounds kinda bad…
"I take it you and Alice are BFF's again?" He asked with a smirk on his face
"Well.. We didn't really talk about what happened... But I can't stay mad at her forever" I sighed
"I'm glad you two are friends again" Oh and there's that smile again… what's my name? where am I?
"Me two" I replied, shaking off the daze I was in.
"Hello Edward" Emmett said as he entered my room. This is not going to be good.
"Emmett" Edward replied, giving him a curt nod
"We need to talk" He crossed his arms over his chest, plastering on a serious look. Lord help me!
"Umm ok?"
"You and Bella" I remembered the time He gave Jasper this talk… maybe he will go easier on Edward?
"Em, please don't start" I whined
"It's gotta be done Bells" NO IT DOES NOT I felt like yelling at him
"Arrggg" I grabbed the pillow and tossed it over my face. I couldn't watch this…
"It's ok Bella" Edward said holding my hand in his, lightly rubbing circles on the back of my hand with his thumb. I felt like groaning…
"If you're going to be with my sister, there are a few things I need to get straight with you" Emmett said, completely ignoring me.
"Sure, lay it out" No you don't want him to do that… what if it's bad…
"If you hurt so much as a hair on her head I will hang you, I don't care if you're my mate, but she is my baby sister. Is that clear?" He asked
"Crystal" Edward replied, I could hear the smile in his voice.
"This is not to affect any time that you and me spend together, I won't have it coming between our friendship either"
"Not that we spend that much time together, but ok" He is mine… ALL MINE I TELLS YA
I am officially disowning Emmett... He can now be classified as adopted. I am not blood related to him what so ever.
"Football Edward, it's starting up soon. Don't be distracted."
"Fine!"
"And you need to stop your player ways."
"I had already decided a long time ago that I would. Are we done yet?" Aww all that for me?
"Yep, we are" Thank fucken god.
"Good"
"See you kids at dinner" He said as he left the room… Kids? He is more of a kid then I'll ever be.
At least he wasn't as nasty as before when he had a talk to Jasper… Something about castrating him…
"I'm sorry" I said, pulling the pillow away from my face
"Don't be sorry. He just loves you" That's not love. That's embarrassment!
"I know, but it's embarrassing" I sighed
Maybe I could plot Emmett's murder? Or burry him alive? No that wouldn't work. I'll just steal all the food in this house and hide his wallet.. and mums and dads.. Mwuuaaahhahaha.
Anyway, back to reality... enough of being psycho Bella.
I was bouncing up and down on my bed waiting for Alice to come.
"Settle down Bella" Edward laughed
"I'm just hypo" Like really hypo... crazy hypo even.
"Bella?" Alice called
"Come in Alice" I yelled
Edward rolled his eyes at me… I'm excited.. And nervous…
"BELLA! Why aren't you dressed" Alice scoffed, looking at the silver watch on her wrist.
"I don't know what to wear" I pouted holding up the two dresses I brought out with me
"My god woman!" She said shaking her head "Let's go" She sighed.
She pulled me off the bed and dragged me out to the bathroom. Threw me a towel and demanded I take a shower… while she chose what I should wear.
"Bella sit still"
"You're taking forever" I said, rolling my eyes.
Alice was trying to do my hair.
It hurt, she yanked and pulled and yanked some more. As if my hair
wouldn't fall out… Well I got news for you Alice, HAIR FALLS
OUT.
Even if it does re-grow… it still hurt.
Once she had
finished my hair she started on my makeup.
I wander what Edward
is doing right now?
EPOV
I was sitting next to Bella.. she was bouncing up and down like a basketball.
"Settle down Bella" I laughed, she was acting more and more like Alice...
"I'm just hypo" She said, continuing to bounce
"Bella?" Oh thank god!
"Come in Alice" Bella yelled, overly anxious
I looked at her, and rolled my eyes
"BELLA! Why aren't you dressed" Alice yelled as she looked down at her watch.
"I don't know what to wear" She is so cute when she pouts like that.
"My god woman!" Alice said shaking her head "Let's go" She sighed.
Alice pulled Bella off the bed and dragged her out of the room.. Well what was I going to do now?
"So, looking forward to tonight?" Alice chirped walking back into the room
"Meh, doesn't bother me" I shrugged my shoulders
"You mean it doesn't bother you that Jasper and Bella's parents still think their dating.. and they are going to break the news tonight.. and you and Bella are going to tell your parents about you two?" She said sarcastically.
"Well... maybe a bit nervous about that" I sighed, running my hand through my hair
She laughed and shook her head as she examined some of Bella's clothes.
"So Alice, what is going on between you and Jasper?" I casually asked
"What? Ahh... nothing.. nothing at all"
"Bull fucken shit" I laughed "I can tell something is going on"
"No, there isn't anything going on"
"Liar" I scoffed shaking my head
"I am not lying Edward" She said as she walked out of the room again.
I knew she was lying, there is something going on with those two, I bet she is just hiding it because of Bella and her past with him.
"Edward, your parents are here" Renee said, poking her head in the door
"Ok, I'll come down" I said, jumping off the bed.
She smiled at me... weirdly then walked away. I followed her down the stairs.
"Hey mum, dad" I said as I reached the bottom of the stairs.
Carlisle and Charlie were leaning against the fire place talking about sports, drinking beer. Esme was in the kitchen helping Renee set up and get ready. Heather and Peter... Alice's parents had just arrived and where taking off their jackets.
Heather was a nice looking lady, she had Alice's black hair, but it was longer. She was as short as Alice as well. Peter was a nice bloke, tall and built... I didn't really see the resemblance between him and Alice though.
"G'day everyone" Jasper said as he walked in to the room.
Rose and their parents followed close behind
"Jasper, how are you?" Renee gushed a she trotted over to him enveloping him in a big hug
"I'm good Renee, what about you?" He said holding onto her shoulders
"I'm good thank you" She smiled... Tonight was defiantly going to bed bad.
"Jill, Sean. How lovely to see you again" Renee let go of Jasper and hugged his parents.
"Hey Edward" Jasper smiled
"Hi" I replied
He looked about as nervous as me.. if not worse.
**********************
"So, Bella dear, how is school going for you?" Jill asked Bella sweetly.
We were all seated around a big round table. I was next to Bella, Bella next to Jasper, Jasper next to Alice, Alice next to Emmett, Emmett next to Rose, Rose next to Renee, Renee next to Charlie, Charlie next to Sean, Sean next to Carlisle, Carlisle next to Esme, Esme next to Jill, Jill next to Heather and Heather next to Peter, and of course Peter was next to me.
We had roast pork, peas, roast potato, roast pumpkin, Roast carrot and coleslaw. Oh and Gravy, can't forget the gravy.
It had started out alright, the parents have not said anything about Bella and Jasper, and they haven't mentioned anything about not being together anymore. So far they were all smiles. I was anxiously awaiting the moment Bella and Jasper would spill the beans
"School is going great"
"That's good" Jill replied, smiling at her like she was some kind of fucken goddess.
"I heard a new joke today" Emmett beamed
"Go on then, tell us mate" Peter said
Everyone's attention turned to Emmett. Bad idea! He loves being the centre of attention
"Alright so Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really pissed. She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!" The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale... Bob has been missing since Friday." He said then burst out laughing.
No one else laughed.. just Emmett. Rose covered her face with her hands.
"I don't get it?" Alice said, looking confused
Emmett looked at her like she was stupid "Basically, he was calling her fat" Then he started laughing again
"Oh Emmett... that's not even funny! It's mean" She scoffed shaking her head
"yeah I don't think you she tell anymore jokes Em" Bella said
"NO NO! I got one more" He pouted
"One more Emmet, and that's it" Renee warned
"It's funny, I promise" He smiled
He Cleared his throat before continuing "A completely inebriated man was stumbling down the street with one foot on the curb and one foot in the gutter. A cop pulled up and said, "I've got to take you in, pal. You're obviously drunk." Our wasted friend asked, "Officer, are ya absolutely sure I'm drunk?" "Yeah, buddy, I'm sure," said the copper. "Let's go."Breathing a sigh of relief, the wino said, "Thank goodness, I thought I was crippled." And then he burst out laughing again...
"Emmett, that's not even funny" I said, shaking my head
"Yes it was, wasn't it guys?" He replied, looking around the table.
No one said anything, just looked at him
"Right?" He repeated
"No, Emmett" Rose said, patting him on the back
"You guys have no sense of humour"
*********************
Conversation was boring, the parents were on the 5th bottle of beer... or glass of wine. Whichever.
"Jasper, have you and Bella discussed college yet?" Charlie asked... Well it was boring until then
"Umm.. Uhh.. no" She replied, shaking her head.
"Why not?" Sean asked, looking between the two intently.
"Because...." She trailed off
"Well dad... mum... Bella and I kind of.. well we –"
"Broke up" Bella blurted out. She quickly covered her mouth, her eyes wide.
Everyone was quiet. Renee looked shocked and confused, Charlie just looked normal. He never really did give a shit about much. Jill and Peter looked like they were still processing what they had just heard.
Then they all started laughing.
"Funny kids" Jill said shaking her head
"No mum, it's true. We broke up" Jasper said.
"Wha... why? I mean look at her Jasper, why on earth would you break up with her?" Jill asked, anger dripping from her voice
"I broke up with him Jill" Bella said slowly, looking down at the food on her plate
"Maybe... we... should ahh go" Emmett said scraping his chair away from the table
"SIT!" Renee yelled pointing at his seat.
He fell back and crossed his hands politely on the table. Fucken mamma's boy
"You broke up with him? It's... it's JASPER Bella. Why on EARTH WOULD YOU BREAK UP WITH HIM?"
"Well... I .... Because...."
"Because I told her I loved her, then we had a small tiff because she couldn't say it back, then I left and Alice came over not asking Bella if she is ok. Bella found someone else and her and I decided we were better of being friends" Jasper said, not taking a breath
Alice looked uncomfortable, she was fumbling with a strand of her hair looking around the room. Emmett's eyes were darting between everyone, Rose looked shocked, Jasper was taking deep breaths, Bella was staring her mum down, and I, was starting to get really nervous, because I knew what the next question would be, and It would involve me.
"You... Like someone else Bella?" Charlie asked, watching her curiously.
"Yes" She replied, nodding her head
"Who?" Her mother fumed
"Ahhh... well you see..."
"It's me" I answered for her, quietly holding up my hand like I was in fucking preschool.
No one said anything. I could hear the fucken trees moving outside, and it wasn't even windy. Jill was glaring at me, like I just murdered her baby, Peter was shaking his head at Jasper, Renee was trying to stare daggers at me with her eyes, and Charlie looked like he was about to shoot me. Esme looked somewhat pleased, but trying to hide her smile. Carlisle didn't look like my love life really didn't faze him.
"You are dating him?" Renee said slowly
"Yes mum. I am dating Edward" She replied as she put her hand on my shoulder
"I think it's time we left" Peter said standing up
"Dad, don't be angry" Jasper pleaded
"Angry? No son, we aren't angry. Can't you see Bella was perfect for you. And you lost her" He scoffed shaking his head.
"Yes she is perfect, but not for me. Her and Edward make a great couple. She is happy, I'm happy for her. We are not meant to be"
"Not meant to be?" Jill laughed "You could have just screwed up your whole life"
"MUM" Rose yelled "This is enough from both of you. You talk about us being the children.. look at you. You're so god damn FUCKEN blind you can't see how happy Jasper is being by himself!"
"Watch your mouth young lady"
Rose glared at them, then slammed her hand down on the table and ran upstairs. Emmett followed close behind her.
"Well, this was... Entertaining. Thank you for having us over for dinner Renee, Charlie. We hope to see you guys soon, despite what our children have done"
"Your more than welcome Jill, and yes we will catch up again soon" Renee said as she walked them out the front door.
I looked over at Bella who was still in shock. I took her hand in mine and held it in my lap. She looked over at me and gave me a small smile.
"Well, would you two like to explain how you ended up together?" Renee asked, as she sat back down. Resting her elbows on the table and resting her chin on the top of her hands.
"Friday night, the night you guys where away. Jasper told me he loved me and I couldn't say it back. He got upset and we had a small argument, he left. Edward was there for me, he let me talk... He listened. That's when it started. We were going to be friends for a while but we found that.. difficult so we made it official.. today" Bella answered slowly.
My mother's smile grew bigger as she looked between the two of us.
"Well, I am happy for the two of you" Esme said, taking my hand in hers.
"Thanks mum" I said smiling at her
"Don't you hurt my baby girl" Charlie warned, pointing his finger at me.
"I wouldn't dream of it sir"
"Good" He huffed
"I still can't believe this" Renee said shaking her head
"Mum please" Bella whispered "I'm really happy. He makes me really happy"
Renee looked at her for a moment "Fine.. as long as your happy" She sighed
"Thanks mum"
Well tonight had been interesting. I wonder what would happen with Jasper.. His parents looked really angry at him.
