Chapter 22

BPOV

I was just talking to the girls when the guys came over to ask us if we wanted something from the cottage. When they left I was kind of hurt that he didn't come close to me.

I guess I kind of pouted and Alice and Rosalie both laughed at me.

"What? That's the first time since we have admitted our feelings to each other that he didn't try to kiss me." I told them.

"Bella trust me it isn't because he didn't want to. Its just that you look so damn hot in that suit that if he came anywhere near you. He would probably go all caveman on you and take you up to the house and fuck the shit out of you." Alice laughed.

Rose also added, "Damn Bella if I swung that way I would definitely take you." I looked at her shocked.

Then we burst into a round of giggles. It was short lived cause Tanya and her band of skanks came over to us.

All three of us jumped to our feet. Rose standing slightly in front of me. "Tanya I warned you yesterday that if you came across Bella and she wanted to kick your ass I would let her. Now I am giving you a chance to walk away nicely so we could have a good time."

Tanya just brushed her off. "I am so not afraid of Isabella Swan. I just have to say Boo and she'll run and hide."

Then she walked over to me. "BOO." She screamed in my face and then turned to laugh with her girls.

I just stood there trying to calm myself down before I did something stupid. I knew she warranted me kicking her ass but I was on such a high from Edward telling me that he loved me I didn't want to ruin it.

Then she turned to me.

"So Bella I thought you would have gone home by now. Crying into the arms of your gay little boyfriend." She sneered.

"Actually Tanya the only reason Jason is gay is because he dated you once and he decided he really needed to bat for the other team." I smiled. Alice and Rose smirked.

"Then what does that say about you." She smirked.

"Well seeing as you were the only girl he ever dated at the school and no one else. I guess that's says a lot about me." I smirked back.

Jason and I grew up next door to each other. And we never had feelings other than that of brother and sister. Everyone knew that, so for her to insinuate anything else was just hilarious.

The only reason why he even dated Tanya was because she was relentless in her chase. She would show up at the restaurant and would always be waiting by his locker before and after school. Finally he just gave up and went out with her once. He told me that when she kissed him it did nothing for him and when she tried going down on him he still couldn't get hard. After that she stopped her chase and didn't say anything to anyone about her date with him. I guess she didn't want anyone to know that the girl who makes guys hard just by smiling at them couldn't get one of the hottest guys in school hard. So she left him alone.

"YOU BITCH" she yelled. Getting closer to me. I stepped back.

"See told you. Bella is scared of me." she smiled again and looked at her friends.

"Actually Tanya I am not afraid of you. I am just afraid I might hurt you if you are to close." I told her. My blood was already starting to boil.

"You know eventually Edward is going to find out the truth." She told me.

"And what truth would that be." I asked her getting into her face by now I was really getting angry.

"Oh just the fact that you are more of a slut than I am." She backed up a little.

"How so?" Rosalie piped in. standing closer to me.

"Just the fact that she is a cocktease. She flirts with the boys makes them think she is going to give them some and then nothing." She said, with that smug look again.

"Actually Tanya." Alice said coming closer. By now Jessica and Lauren came closer too. "If you ever actually took off your fucking blinders into thinking that every boy should be falling all over you. You would notice that Bella never gives the boys at school the time of day. You are just so jealous that you can't see that they flirt with her and she walks away."

"Sure she does I have seen her all over Mike." Jessica jumped in.

"Yeah right." Rosalie sneered at her. "What you probably saw was Mike making a play for Bella and her telling him to fuck off."

"Then why did she kiss him." Lauren asked. I looked at her where the hell did these skanks get off.

"Kiss Mike. Eww Gross. I would rather kiss a frog." I smiled evilly at her. Rose knew that look so she grabbed my arm. Then she pulled me off to the side.

"Come on Bella lets just go back to the house. you need to cool off. Besides you don't want to start anything."

"Yeah Bella listen to Rose and go back and hide. I am sure once Edward sees what a coward you are he'll come to me." Tanya commented.

I was really starting to see red.

"Yeah Bella we all know that you are a coward and a slut. Not only did you kiss Mike but also Tyler and Eric." Lauren informed me.

"Really and who told you this. You know this for a fact." Alice piped up again.

"They told me. They all told me how you asked them to meet them at your locker. Then you would start to flirt with them and then you would pull them in for a kiss." Tanya said.

I started laughing at how ridiculous this all was. Rose and Alice joined in they knew the truth. How all three of those boys cornered me at my locker on the pretense of asking about some homework assignment. When I would turn around to get it from my locker they would lean in closer so that when I turned around there lips were dangerously close to mine. Then they would get a knee to the groin and a fuck off from me. That didn't stop them though they kept at it. I can't even count how many times I have told them off and did them bodily harm.

"You know you three why don't you leave me alone. I have never done anything to any of you." I told them calmly.

"Actually Bella you have. You stole the hottest guy in Forks from me. I should have had him first. He has wanted me since grade 9 and then you come along and steal him from me." she told me. She actually that because Edward liked her at one point and then came back looking like a god that she should have had first dibs on him. Talk about pshyco bitch.

"No Tanya he was never yours. He LIKED you at one point and you wouldn't give him the time of day. And by the way I used liked as in past tense. Hes moved on to better things." Alice said, high fiving Rosalie.

Tanya went to take a step closer to Alice as if to hit her. I stepped in between them. This was between Tanya and I if anything was going to go down it was between us.

"No fucking Tanya, hitting Alice would be the last thing you do." I smirked at her.

"What the fuck are you going to do Swan? Tell Rose to take care of me for you. I know you couldn't take me down." she said getting right into my face this time.

Who the fuck did she think she was kidding did she not see me take down Mike the other day? No probably not she was probably too busy staring at my Edward.

"Try me BITCH!" I yelled her I knew I was provoking her to hit me first. It was one thing for me to take down a guy for making unwanted passes but it was a totally different thing for me to do it to a girl.

Just then the guys came back. Edward looked at me and Tanya squaring off. She hadn't seen him yet. I just continued looking at her.

"You know Bella you really are a coward. After all I have said to you, you still haven't slapped me. Maybe the reason why you aren't doing anything is because you really are a slut and they always say the truth hurts." She said.

That was it.

POW. I punched her right in the cheek.

I sent her flying into the sand. She laid there for a second when she went to look at me she caught sight of Edward standing there. She got up and made a beeline for him.

"Eddie did you just see what Bella did to me?" she said still holding her face. I stood there shaking out my hand.

Edward tried to push her away from him to come over to see how I was doing.

Then she did the unthinkable she wrapped her arms around his neck and held him there.

"Eddiekins when are you going to dust off the little whore and come be with me?" he pulled her arms around from his neck and came over to me.

"Bella are you okay?" he asked grabbing my hand and kissing it.

Then he wrapped his arms around me knowing how angry I still was I guess he was hoping that if he was near me I might calm down.

Just then I felt someone pulling my hair. I turned around to see Tanya standing behind me with a handful of my hair.

"Stay away from Edward, Swan he is mine."

I lunged at her. Tackling her to the ground. When I had her pinned to the ground I told her in no uncertain terms.

"NO BITCH YOU BACK OFF. EDWARD IS MINE. GO BACK TO WHATEVER FUCKEN' SKANK HOLE YOU CRAWLED OUT OF AND STAY THERE."

The whole time I had her pinned down I was punching her. It took Edward and Emmett to pull me off.

"What the fuck is going on here?" just then Esme and Carlisle walked up with Mr. & Mrs. Denali. Tanya ran right over to Edward and put her arms around him. "Bella is just mad because she knows Edward would rather be with me." she lied to her parents and the whole time all you saw was blood gushing from her nose. I don't think it was broken but I knew that she was going to hurt in the morning.

EPOV

I couldn't believe she lied like that thinking I would back her up. Not a fucking chance in hell. I unwrapped myself from her arms and walked over to Bella who was still be held on to by Emmett. I noticed that Jasper and Alice were keeping Jessica and Lauren from rushing over to their friend and helping her feed her lies.

I put my arms around Bella and kissed the top of her head.

My mom and dad looked at me expecting me to explain what was going on.

I just shook my head I wasn't sure what exactly provoked Bella but I am sure it must have been a lot because I know that it takes a lot to really piss her off especially if its only verbal. Now if it was actually physical then I probably would have seen Tanya in much worse shape on the ground.

BPOV

"Now Bella what exactly happened here." Esme asked me. I just shook my head I didn't want to talk about it right now.

"I'll tell you what happened." Tanya spoke up. I knew it was all going to be lies.

"Jess, Lauren and I were just walking along the beach when Bella came over and told me that Eddie was hers and that I meant nothing to him last summer." That's when the water works started. Man was she good. Mrs. Denali just glared at me.

"That's bullshit and you know it, Tanya why don't you tell the truth." Rose yelled at her looking like she wanted to take a round out of her. Emmett held onto her.

"You know what why don't us adults talk to each of the girls separately to find out what actually happened. Then we will figure out what happened." Carlisle suggested then the parents shoed us away and called us one by one.

They also kept us apart from talking to each other to get our stories straight by getting Jasper to keep an eye on Alice and Lauren and Emmett to do the same with Rose and Jessica. Edward got me and Tanya. She liked this because she knew that when I went to talk to the adults she would be able to flirt with Edward. The one drawback for this little plan of hers to work was that she couldn't tell them what to say. Which would probably work out in my favour, because I had the truth on my side.

"Bella what happened? Can you talk now?" Carlisle asked.

I nodded.

"Why does she get to go first?" Mrs. Denali asked. "Its obviously her fault that my daughter is all broken and bleeding."

"Everyone will get their turn, honey." Mr. Denali told his wife.

So I told them that it actually started yesterday at the mall. How Tanya told me the lies about her and Edward. How I saw her all over him and then what happened at the beach today. I kept my eye on Tanya while talking the whole time I could see her trying to get closer to Edward and he kept dodging her. I knew Mr. Denali was watching his daughter and how her passes were getting her nowhere with Edward. When I was done I walked back over to Edward and wrapped my arms around him he leaned down and kissed me full on the lips. I swear if looks could kill I would have been 6 feet under twice over from the death glares from Tanya and her mother.

Alice and Rose told their versions of what happened. I couldn't hear what they said but I knew it was probably along the same lines of what I said. Cause when I looked at Esme she just smiled at me. Mrs. Denali was still scowling.

Then it was Jessica and Laurens turn. I still couldn't here what they said but I saw Carlisle and Esme smile even bigger when they were done and Mrs. Denali's face scowl even more. I knew then that the girls had dug Tanya's grave for her.

Then it was Tanya's turn. She quickly stood up and went to kiss Edward on the cheek he just pulled away from her.

Then she whispered, "Bella when I am done telling my version of what happened they will be sending you home and I will be spending the last of the two weeks here with Edward."

That's when Edward spoke up. "Tanya just to let you know. If Bella goes home so do I." she looked up him in shock not believing what she was hearing. Then he leaned over and whispered loud enough for her to hear. "Think of all the things we could do with no parents or siblings around, love." I smiled up at him.

Tanya stomped off. Probably not believing that this god would rather go home with me then stay here with her and his family or the fact that he called me love.

I didn't hear Tanya's story but she definitely put on a good show, because her mother kept glaring at me.

When she was done her parents walked a little ways away from Carlisle and Esme. They walked over to us, "Bella we know you were provoked into fighting with Tanya and as part of your punishment you must first apologize to Tanya. I quickly did an exam on her face and her nose isn't broken but she will have a few bruises. And the second part of your punishment is that you must stay away from Edward until tomorrow morning." Carlisle explained.

"But Dad that's not fair. You're punishing me too." Edward whined.

"I'm sorry son. But it has to be this way. So tonight Bella will be staying with your mother in our cabin and I will be staying in Bella's room." Damn Carlisle thought of everything we couldn't even sneak into each others room.

By now Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rose had joined us. I still had my arms around Edward I didn't want to let go until I had to.

"What's Tanya's punishment?" Alice asked. We all wanted to know.

"Actually her dad wants to take her home, so she can't bother you guys anymore and her mom figures that Bella kicking the crap out of Tanya was punishment enough." Esme chuckled.

Just then the Denali's walked over to us. Mrs. Denali looking really pissed off and Mr. Denali looking remorseful for his daughters behaviour. Tanya was just crying.

We all stood there staring at each other. I decided to get the easy part of my punishment over with.

"Tanya I am sorry for hitting you." I told her making my voice sound sincere. I really enjoyed hitting her but I needed to really sound apologetic. She nodded.

"I am sorry too. Bella I shouldn't have provoked you." She said looking at me and then over at Edward. I could see the lust in her eyes when she looked at him. I just glared back at her. She put her head down.

"Okay Tanya now lets go back to the cabin and pack our bags. We are leaving today. You also get to tell your friends why we are leaving early." Mr. Denali told his daughter.

"Sorry about all this Carlisle. I don't know what possessed her to act like this." Mr. Denali apologized.

"I do." Esme whispered under her breath not meaning for anyone to hear, looking at Mrs. Denali. I caught it though maybe if I asked her later she would tell me.

Mr. and Mrs. Denali started walking ahead and Tanya leaned over to me and whispered, "This isn't over Swan. You are a pathetic loser who won't be able to hold him for very long." And before I could respond she walked away followed by Lauren and Jessica who looked super pissed that they had to go back to Forks instead of being on the beach because their friend couldn't keep her fucking mouth shut.

I knew that everyone around me heard what she said so I just looked at Esme and Carlisle to quickly ask for permission to do something to piss her off. They nodded.

"Hey Tanya." I yelled at her.

She turned around.

I grabbed Edward by the back of the head and pulled him into a deep kiss. At first he was shocked and then he really got into it. He pulled me up into his arms and I wrapped my legs around his waist.

We stopped when we heard someone clearing their throat behind us. I just sat in Edwards arms and turned and looked at Tanya she flipped me the bird and stalked off.

We laughed then we heard more voices behind us.

"Wow Bella if I knew you could be that affectionate I would have tried harder." Mike said staring at me still in Edwards arms. I felt him stiffen underneath me.

"Here Mikey why don't you come over here and I'll give you some affection." I turned and winked at Edward when I climbed out of his arms. I felt his erection against my stomach. I inwardly groaned, I so wanted him tonight. "You don't mind do you honey."

He nodded, "Sure love go ahead give him some affection." Mike just stared at me. Eric and Tyler just looked at me too. I decided to toy with them a little bit too. "Hey you two if you like what I do to Mike and Edward doesn't mind I can give you a little too. Okay?"

They both nodded. They couldn't wait to get their piece of the action too.

"Just remember guys that this is a one time thing after this I am Edwards and Edwards alone okay?" All three of them nodded.

Carlisle and Esme walked away not wanting to see what was going to happen next. Carlisle cause he took an oath to save lives and Esme because she doesn't like violence. They knew of the problems I had with these three in the past so they knew it wasn't going to be pretty.

I walked over to Mike and put my arms around his neck then I kicked him in the groin harder than I had ever done before, he doubled over. "What. The. ." he asked when he got his breath back.

"That's for fucking lying to Edward yesterday. You really are an asshole. You and Tanya are a perfect pair why don't you go fuck her for awhile." I yelled at him.

"Fuck Bella you really are a bitch." Eric told me. As he and Tyler helped Mike up and started to walk back to the cabin they were sharing with The Denali's.

"Oh by the way have a nice trip home." Emmett yelled at the boys backs. They turned around.

"What are you talking about?" Tyler asked.

"Why don't you ask Tanya?" Alice said and started gathering up our stuff. They just shrugged and kept walking.

When they were all gone we cheered. I mean the downside to losing them was that I couldn't touch Edward today but the plus side is that they were gone.

We slowly walked to the cabin knowing that once we got in there we wouldn't be able to touch until tomorrow. When we got to the door the others went inside and left Edward and I on the porch for a moment. He kissed me as if his life depended on it.

"I am sorry Edward. I just couldn't handle her anymore and all her snide remarks." I told him burying my face into his chest. I just wanted to inhale his scent to keep me going through until the morning.

"That's okay its just until tomorrow morning." He told me pulling my chin up to look into his eyes then his lips met mine in a very gentle kiss.

"Okay you two the punishment starts now. there will be no sitting side by side at the dinner table either." We groaned. Then we went into the house to eat dinner.

EPOV

I wanted to sit beside her but my parents said no. If Bella wanted something passed to her someone would have to do for her. My parents were being really strict about this punishment but whatever tomorrow nothing would stop us.

I couldn't help but feeling a little guilty about Bella taking care of both Tanya and Mike but then again the girl does know how to take care of herself. Besides she seemed to want to do it. Especially with Mike. Hell I could her all of us groan when she kneed him the balls. I can't believe he actually thought that I would let Bella give him some affection. Man is he ever gullible.

I knew I should have taken down Mike myself but then again I am lover not a fighter.

A/N - There you go another chapter. Don't worry about Bella always fighting everyone on behalf of her and Edward he will get into one or two scraps.
