4. Rescue

Chapter 4 – Rescue

Finally schools over this week. It has been great so far but I'm looking forward to tonight. Theres supposed to be a party somewhere, open house. So Alice decided for us that we all are going. Ha! Like I would pass up the opportunity.

Right now I'm in Geometry with James and Angela. The teacher that I have yet to remember his name, he looks like the guy from Ferris Bueller's Day off. You know, the teacher that drones on and on. Yeah I can take it I'm so bored. I already learned this crap in Phoenix.

I look over to where James and Angela are sitting and there staring at each other. BING! Light bulb just went off! They definitely like each other, or have an attraction... hmmm. I pull out a piece of paper and write a message to James.

James-

Do you like Ang?

-Bella

I through the paper at him and continued to take notes. I can feel him look at me quickly. Then I saw the note get tossed onto my desk.

Bella-

No, why would you think that?

-James

Simon-

Oh you don't? Really. Lets figure this out then shall we? Ok you haven't been taking notes all period, and if you look at Ang's paper you'll see the same, and she ALLWAYS takes notes. You both have been staring at each other for over 25 min. You both like each other. No hiding it from me.

-Garfunkel

Donny-

Ok you got me. But you really think she likes me? I'm not good with this stuff, the whole asking girls out thing.

-Marie

Bert-

Well theres a party tonight at some kids house. Idk its open house. Ask her if she wants to go with you. Take her out to dinner before though, then take her to the party, go dance yada yada then she will probably want to go out with you again.

-Ernie

Wallace -

Ok sounds good. Thanks so much Bella, I ow you one! But one more question... How do I ask her out? Or where?

-Gromit

Gumby-

After class is a start. When the bell rings just ask her, simple.

-Pokey

I thew over the note. While he was reading it the bell rang.

"Good luck." I said with a wink. I walked over to Angela and gave her the notes. She looked so embarrassed. I gave her a knowing look and walked to history. That class is so fun. James get my sense of humor.

The bell just rang. While Alice and me were walking to lunch I see Angela grinning at us. I should do this for a living, match making is easy. Still need to work with Alice though...

"What are you smiling about?" Alice asked Angela

"James asked me out on a date!" she screamed

"Really?! Oh my god! I need to do you hair, makeup and clothes! Meet me at my place at 4." then she left mumbling to herself about the color purple would look great on Angela.

"Come on let get to lunch. You sitting with us again today?"

"Yep." she had a dreamy smile on her face.

"I'm going to grab a Vitamin Water. Want one?"

"No thanks, I'll me at the table." she smiled again

"Alright lover girl." As I was walking to the lunch line I herd someone calling my name. I turned around to see Tommy walking up to me

"Hey Bella. Hows your day so far?"

"Pretty boring so far, but I can't wait for the party."

"Yeah it sounds like fun. I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" he had his hands in his pockets. He looked nervous.

"Yes I would love too, Tom" I smiled up at him. He smiled widely and pulled me into a hug. Ohh. He gives great hugs...

"So when should I pick you up?" he asked as we were walking to pay for my water. He grabbed it out of my hand and payed for it. I glared at him

"You know I can pay for that right?"

"Yes I am fully aware of that." he smiled at me and chuckled. Hes so cute. "But you didn't answer my question." he said handing me my water. We then sat down at our table with the rest of the group. Still no name! The only ones that are behind me on this is Alice and Emmett.

"What question?" Edward asked next to me.

"What time I should pick her up for the party tonight." after he finished Alice squealed loudly and the cafeteria grew quiet. I looked around to see everyone looking at our table. I blushed.

"...What the hell was that?! You screamed into my ear!" Rosalie screamed. then turned to Emmett. "Is my ear bleeding?" everyone at that time continued with what they're doing. I started laughing.

"Yes, yes, yes! I can Play Bella Barbie again! OOOOHHH! And Angela! This is almost better then Christmas! You both can pick them up at my house at 7."

"All right then." James and Tommy said at the same time and looked at each other.

"That was creepy." said Tanya "You sure your not twins?"

"Yeah." they answered again and looked at each other.

The rest of the day seemed quiet. But I had to wait for Edward after practice. He drove me to school today. So I said I'll stay and watch him and Emmett at football.

As I was watching the guys I pulled out my iPod I saw the cheerleaders were coming on the field to practice as well. Tanya saw me and waved. I guess the head bitch didn't like me being friends with Tanya and Stomped over to where I sit on the bleachers.

"What do you think your doing here, honey? Did you get lost?" she screeched

" What does it look like I'm doing? Or do you need help, in that case I'll tell you. I'm sitting here waiting for my friend to be finished with practice so he can drive me home." I said. She looked shocked. I guess no one talks back to her. "Do you have a problem with hearing too, honey?" I mocked "I can repeat it again for you." I said sweetly. Tanya heard what I said and smacked her hand over her mouth quickly so she wouldn't laugh.

"Listen bitch-" but she was cut off buy something behind me. I looked to see a very angry looking Edward. "Oh. H-hey Eddie!" she laughed nervously.

"His name is Edward, Lauren." Tanya said walking over to us with the rest of the cheerleaders

"Do you have a problem with Bella being here?" Edward said

"Uh, yeah. I do. Cheerleaders and football players only during practice."

"Who made up that?" Edward and Tanya said pretty much at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. I had a weird emotion come over me that I never felt before Jealous...? am I jealous?

"Ok whatever... whats your name again? Laura? Its Dora right? Well Dora the explorer, why don't you stop worrying about me and continue your practice. It will give me some entertainment too." I smiled apologetically at Tanya "Sorry." she smiled and nodded. Dora then screeched and stomped off snapping her fingers to the others to follow. I turned back to Edward. "Are you driving Tanya home too?"

"No, she has work right after practice today, so she brought her own car. I'll be done in 30 now." he said as he was running back to the field.

I must have fallen asleep or something because next thing I know is that I'm being shaken awake by a smooth velvet voice.

"Bella. Wake up, sleeping beauty" he chuckled while I groaned. I opened my eyes to find Edward had a wicked grin on his face. I stood up and stretched and smiled. "Ready to go, Bella?"

"Yep, but I'm not looking forward to Alice's torture." he still had that evil smile on his face. Oh god... "Edward... don't." I started to back away from him

"Do what Isabella?" he asked innocently. He came closer. Then all of a sudden he charged, picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. I started screaming and smacking his back as he ran into the parking lot. When we got to his car he placed me into the passenger seat. I glared at him, while he just smiled.

"I hate you." I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I know." he leaned down and kissed my head. What was that...? I blushed. I responded the most mature way I could think of. I stuck my tongue out at him and pouted. He has a girlfriend, he has a girlfriend I kept repeating in my head.

The drive to his house was silent. I can feel that he was looking at me, but me being stubborn I wouldn't dare look at him. He knew I couldn't stay mad at him. Once he give me that pout-ie puppy dog face I'm done for.

"Your not seriously mad at me, are you?" I can hear the amusement in his voice

"Hmph." I crossed my arms. I pouted out the side window beside me. I saw that we were slowing down until we pulled over. He grabbed my hands in his.

"Look at me."he commanded. I knew I wasn't mad at him. I just wanted to see how long I can get before I cracked. I finally looked at him and cracked. Damn green eyes. I swear he knows he the effect he has on me. "You know was was just playing with you. I do love you, and I will never do anything to hurt you." I was shocked. Wasn't expecting that to come out of his mouth.

"I'll always be the best friend to him." I said out loud. OUT LOUD?! SHIT!

"What was that?" he asked. CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAPITY CRAP! He didn't hear me. Good. Now think.

"Oh, nothing." I smiled.

"So, can you find it in your lovely heart to forgive me?" I rolled mt eyes at his horrible southern accent and nodded. He smiled my favorite smile and threw his arms around me. I patted his head. Ooohhh silky hair...Did I REALLY just think that?! Wow. "Ok. I need to get you to my house before Alice kills me.

"Evil pixie." I grumbled to myself

We quickly pulled into thr mile long driveway to the Cullen household. They were the only ones in the neighborhood that didn't have neighbors. They were totally secluded. A big white house with a big porch. It was like a mini White House.

When we parked I didn't have time to even grab my stuff when Alice opened my door and dragged me into the house. I turned around to get Edward to help me out but he was laughing his fool head off.

"Turn around Isabella Swan! No one can help you." Alice said. That just sent Edward into hysterics.

"I HATE YOU EDWARD CULLEN!" I screamed as the front door slammed shut. That just set him off more. Hes probably rolling on the damn floor by now. Idiot. Laughing at my misfortune.

It was around 5:30 when Alice and Rose were done with my makeup and hair. They let it look natural, like I always put it, and they straightened my hair. They were trying to get me into a dress that was cute I'll give them that, but I told them it wasn't that type of party. So we settled with a white long-sleeve tunic, with a denim skirt, black hi-top sneakers, and a straw hat I thought would look cute! (Picture in profile)

Angela was done before me in a sleeveless sun dress with water color flowers on it. It was a cute dress. She had some black flats on with them. (Picture in profile. A/N. I really don't feel like describing Alice and Rose's clothes so I'm gonna skip it! I know I'm lazy. But pretty much there in dresses and heals like in all fanfics. Sorry. Onward!)

I started to walk down the stairs when I was grabbed by the wrist by a very strong Alice.

"What?!" I hissed

"Where do you thing your going?" she hissed back

"Downstairs to wait for Tommy?"

"Oh no your not! You need to make a dramatic entrance!" she jerked me backwards back into the room.

"Damn you pixie and your dramatics." I muttered under my breath. Then I got slapped in the arm. "Ouch! What did I do?"

"I heard you Isabella."

As we were all waiting for the guys to get here, we were talking about a sleep over after the party when Edward walked in, in all his glory wearing a white button up shirt rolled to his elbows. He had on a pair of black straight leg jeans with white hi-top Nike's. Damn. Can anyone look anymore good looking?

"Hey Ali have you sss- whoa. Bella. Looking good." he winked, clicked his tongue and pointed with his fingers. Wow cheezy.... but it totally looked adorable on him. I rolled my eyes and threw the pillow I was laying on. "Hey! I was just giving my best friend a complement!" he said innocently while giving me his crooked smile. I blushed.

"What do you want Eddie?" Alice teased.

"Uh, er, have you seen my cologne? Its not in my bathroom." he said

"Oh! Jasper borrowed it before he left in here. Hold on." she then bounced into her bathroom and came back with his cologne. "Here ya go big brother." she said handing it to him.

"Thanks." he said while he walked out. A few minutes later the door bell rang. All of us sprang up to our feet. Alice did a mad dash to her window and sighed. I guess it wasn't Jasper.

"Its for you Angela." then she perked up right away and gave her a big hug "Have fun on your date and we'll see you at the party!" I looked out the window to see that James red Ford Mustang (Picture in Profile) parked in the driveway in front of the Cullen's house. I saw them walk hand in hand to his car and he opened the door for her and kissed her cheek. Awwww! I can see her blush from here!

I few minutes later Edward left in his Volvo to go pick up Tanya at her house and as he was leaving Emmett came in his Range Rover. He parked and got out with Jasper in the passenger seat.

Emmett was dressed in a red T-shirt with jeans and sneakers, while Jasper was wearing a blue Hollister polo with ripped jeans and flip-flops. (I pictured Jasper in my fanfic to be sort of a surfer. So yeah.)

We all ran down the stairs to greet them. They said that they would wait for Tommy to come and pick me up for them to leave themselves. At around 7:10 a Black Mercedes SUV pulled into the driveway. Sweet ride. But its nothing to my baby. (Picture in Profile) He got out in a tight fitting white V-neck T-shirt with a black vest over that. He had on dark wash straight leg jeans and black Converse. (Picture in Profile) He-he looks great... no hawt.

I went to go answer the door when he knocked. He smiled a crooked smile, it was sorta like Edwards... but it had its own style on Tommy. But no one could replace Edward. He pulled my into a hug and kissed my cheek.

"You look beautiful tonight, Bella." he said. I blushed

"You don't look to bad yourself Mister." I winked. He pulled out a long blue wrapped gift from behind his back. I gasped. "Tommy! You didn't have to get my anything!" I playfully smacked his arm

"I wanted to. I saw it today at the mall while passing threw," he said giving it to me. Yeah that what the always say. "And when I say it I looked like something you;d wear, so I bought it."

I started to open the wrapping paper to find a brown box with the name Lucky Girl on it with shamrocks on it. When I opened it all the way it was a beautiful necklace that had a peace sign, a dove and flowers. (Picture on Profile. I actually have this. Its from Lucky Brand Jeans)

"Oh Tommy its great!" I threw my arms around him again "I love it, thank you."

"Your welcome Bella." he chuckled

"Can you put it on?" I asked

"Yeah sure, turn around." I did as I was told and he placed it around my neck and clasped the lock. And kissed where it hung. I felt my unforgiving blush rise again. "I looks amazing on you Bella." his shocking blue eyes stared at my brown ones. I blushed again and smiled. "Ready to go?" I couldn't trust myself to speak so I nodded

We walked to his SUV and opened my door for me and helped me up. He kissed my hand and closed the door for me. He got in the drivers side and we drove off to the party house.

When we got to the house we had to park down the block. Glad I wore sneakers! Ha! We walked hand in hand to the steps and knocked on the door. Who I wasn't expecting to see to answer the door was Mike. Yes, Mike Newton. This was HIS house party?! Are you kidding me?!

"Bell-uh... gggla-a-ad you made it!" he slerd. Obviously drunk.

"Yeah... hey." Tommy wrapped a arm protectively around my waist and walked to get a beer from the cooler.

After a few drinks... I was gone. I pulled Tommy into the dance floor. We danced what seemed like forever until I had to go to the bathroom.

"I'll be right back Tommy-Wommy!" he just chuckled and nodded

I made my way to the bathroom when I felt someone grab my wrist. I looked behind me to see a very drunk Mike. Oh god this can't be good...

"Come on babe. Let me get you a drink." he said over the loud music. I wasn't thinking right so I nodded and he lead me into the kitchen. He started to make me a drink and said "Listen babe. I'm gonna make you a drink that's gonna rock your world..." he slurd. He handed me the drink and I took a sip. It was fruity but I still can taste the vodka. All of a sudden Newton was looking really hot right now...

I wasn't thinking right. My mind started to get all hazy and blurry. Must be a strong drink... I thought to myself.

"Want to go somewhere private?" he asked

"I can't. I'm here with my date. And I should be going now. Thanks for the drink Mike." I said trying to get away but he wouldn't let me.

"Don't worry about him. Lets go." he said more annoyed. I was trying to pull my wrist out of his grip but he was too strong.

"Let go! Your hurting me!" I screamed but he just dragged me to the stairs. I was trying to look around for anyone to help me. But they were all people I didn't know.

Once we were upstairs he threw me onto his messy bed. I tried to get off but he pinned me down under him while he was straddling me. I screamed again and I was slapped in the face. And Mike kissed me hard. After he hit me I had a flash back to when my mother first came home drunk...

Flashback:

I heard a crash from downstairs. The door being slammed shut and a picture on the wall smashing to the floor from the impact of the door.

I rolled over on my bed to look at the clock on my nightstand. 2 fucking 15 o'clock in the morning?! She can't be serious I thought

"ISABELLA!!!" my mother screamed. Not good. She never yelled at me... "Get your damn ass down the stairs in 3 fucking seconds!" she screamed up the stairs. I shot out of the bed so quick I fell into the hallway to our small home.

Right when I made it down the stairs I was hit in the head my a beer bottle thrown from my mother. I was shocked and fell down the rest of the stairs. When I landed there I lifted my hand to the side of my face to find it bleeding. I looked up at her with fear and shock

"Look at this house! I was supposed to bring a man home but its a fucking pigsty!" she the picked me up by my hair and pushed me into the kitchen, and I fell into the table where plates fell and crashed to the floor. She walked over to me with a evil smirk and said "This hole house better shine when I wake up. If not. You will wish you were never born like the rest of the world." and then she kicked me in the stomach and muttered "Ugly slut" as she walked away

End Flashback :

I started to cry when Mike was unbuttoning my top. I was kicking and screaming for someone to help.

"Shut up you fucking bitch!" then he punched my in the gut. The wind was knocked out of me. I whimpered in pain and a sob bellowed out of me. I heard the a knock on the door. The voice sounded familiar. Tommy. I screamed again and the knocks became more frantic

"Bella? Are you in there?" Tommy's voice sounded worried and he was with two other guys with him. I think it was Edward and Emmett. I started

"Go away. I'm Busy!" Mike yelled

Then the door was kicked down by my brother Emmett and Tommy and Edward grabbed Mike off of me. I started to black out when I saw bright green orbs above me. It was Edward. He pulled me tightly into his chest and hugged me. I was crying onto his chest ruining his shirt. He kept on comforting me like he did after I told him about what happened with my mother and me.

I pulled away from him to fix my shirt. Tommy came over and pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead and said he was so sorry for losing me but I told him it was Mike. He picked up my hat that fell on the floor when I was pushed and put it on my head and smiled. He wiped away a few tears that sneaked away.

I was still sleeping over the Cullen's so we all gathered up and left. Tanya earlier with her sister Kate so Edward was going straight home. Tommy helped me get into the car and we drove to the Cullen's. I grabbed Tommy's hand in mine. I think he feels guilty for not keeping an eye on me but it wasn't his fault. It was Mike's.

We parked in the driveway and he looked at me with such sad eyes. He shouldn't be sad. I had a great time before Mike happened. We got out of the car and walked to the side porch when I couldn't stand him looking sad.

"Tom. What's wrong?" I asked

"Nothing." he said. I sighed

"I know you better then that. Come on, tell me whats up?"

"Bella! You were almost rapped! How can you act like theres nothing wrong? Do you know how scared I was when I saw you like that?!" he then pulled me into a tight hug and rested his head on my shoulder. Tears pooled from my eyes and fell down my cheeks. I pulled away from him.

"Tommy," I whispered "I'm ok. I was so glad when I heard your voice you have no idea Tommy." and then I crushed my lips to his. It was sweet and passionate. He wrapped his left arm around my waist and his right hand went behind my neck pulling me closer to him. We broke away from our kiss to take a breath. He leaned down and pressed his forehead to mine.

"That was..." he trailed off

"Amazing, sweet, hot, unbelievable, incredible? Theres a long list." he grinned down at me and pecked my lips again, and again.

"Its already passed 1:30. I better go..." it sounded like he didn't want to go. "But I'll call you in the morning." he pressed his lips sweetly and softly to mine again. Our lips moved sync with each others. "Sweet dreams Bella." he smiled and walked to his car. He is truly amazing

I walked up the stairs of the Cullen's house quietly. I didn't want to wake up anyone. When I was walking to the guest bedroom the nights events played in my head again. Mike touching me, ripping open my shirt, slapping me, punching me in the gut... Tears started to fall down my face when I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to find Edward.

"Bella... What's wrong?" he said turning me around fully to face him. He raised a hand to my face to wipe away the tears with his thumb. "your shaking. Come on. Let get you in bed." he said pulling me into his room. He pulled back the golden comforter with black sheets for me to lay down in and he climbed in with me. He pulled me into his chest and let me cry... again.

"I need to tell you something else what happened tonight..."

OH MY GOD! I'm so so so so so sorry for keeping you wait! It was a very busy weekend for me and I couldn't get on my laptop. So I hope this chapter makes it up for the long wait! This is probably the longest chapter I wrote! Oh and sorry for the Cliffie! I'll get the next chapter up as soon as possible! Thanks for the reviews!

Fangs Up Baby!
