Chapter 23: Stupid Alice and Emmett.
Bella's POV
Previous:
"We have to board the boat." She said, grabbing hold of me, and tugging me after her. Emmett and Edward walked behind us, talking to low for me to hear. But I thought I heard out a 'when are you going to tell Bella?'. Wish I had no idea what they were talking about.
"Welcome," Some girl with fake blond hair said, to purkey. "Please, enjoy your cruise." She smiled again, then walked away. Awkward...
"Uh..." Alice said, never finishing her sentence. That is when I noticed the worst thing. That couldn't be him.
I left him in Forks. He wasn't here.
Keep dreaming Bella, that IS him! A little voice in the back of my head said.
"Bella?" Edward said, taking a hold of arm, shaking me gently. That didn't even faze me.
There he was, drunk, hanging out with 3 blonde's on a couch. The one person that I wish was dead.
Charlie.
Present:
He looked over at me, and knew exactly who I was.
"Bella, what are you looking at?" Emmett said, trying to see what I really was looking at. If he knew exactly what I was looking at, he'd probably kill Charlie on the spot.
"Uh, let's go, can we please go now?" I asked hurriedly after I saw him walking towards us. More like tripped over to us. I guess the first person that saw him was Alice, who put me behind her, and put her hands on her hip. Edward then saw what happened, so he went in front as well, followed by Emmett.
"Charlie." Alice spoke with boredum, knowing what he was going to say already. Everyone knows what he's going to say next.
"Bella?" He asked, his eyes over Alice's head, staring exactly at me. He was drunk, and I knew it. Then one of the blonde's came over, wearing just a tank top and a too short skirt and heels. She came over with a glass of something with a olive on a stick.
"Charlie, who's this?" She asked, looking at us, probably stunned at how beautiful the three people in front of me are.
"Bella?" He asked again, trying to get that through his mind.
"Oh, is that your daughter?" The lady said, trying to see over everyone.
"Used to be..." Edward muttered under his breathe, but I guess that no one heard him, well, except for Alice, Em and me.
"I've always wanted to have a family! Charlie, this is perfect! Bella can come back with us, and then we can start a family! Would-" She started speaking again, but I wasn't listening any more.
Living with Charlie? Heck NO! I'm now living happily now with my family, and nothing can take that away from me. I would be safe with them. None of them would hurt me.
"Melanie, I don't think that-" But he was cut off by Melanie whispering something in his ear, to low for me to hear it, but that didn't stop the three in front of me. I'm amazed that Edward could hear that.
"Bella, can we talk?" He asked me, looking at me with pure hate. I wouldn't even be shocked that they were married. They probably were.
"No." All the teens said at the same time.
"Was I talking to you?" He looked at the Cullens, glaring.
"Well why would we let you talk to her?" Emmett said, taking a step closer.
"I'm her father." Charlie said, taking another swig of the drink in his hands. Yeah, he's gonna have a hang over. Not that I care.
"But you gave me up." I said quietly, moving around Alice, but was pulled back by Edward.
"Only because I couldn't afford anything at the time. How was I going to afford food and clothing for you?" He lied. We all knew that mom left us all of the money she was hiding from before, and that was over 12,000 dollars. Sure he didn't have enough money to use.
"Do you seriously think that I would go back to living with you?" I yelled at him. He seemed surprised at my sudden outburst, but didn't back away.
"Isabella, you will listen to me." He ordered, trying to impress this stupid Melanie person.
"No! Why would I? You abandoned me when I was a baby, abused me, and now you just decide to take me back?" I asked, anger finally taking over my whole body.
"What seems to be the matter here?" That perky lady said, walking over to us quickly.
"Nothing, and now I'm leaving. Come on guys." I said, pulling Edward and the rest another way. I could hear Charlie calling me from behind, but I never looked back.
"Bella..." Edward said as we walked, his arm around me waist, guiding me through the crowd. I looked up, and noticed that Alice and Emmett were at the front desk, checking in to whatever. I then saw Charlie coming back over, and so I ran.
"Bella!" I heard Alice shriek, but then I was gone. I ran the corner, ran up 4 flights steps of stairs, and was now at the top part of the ship. I just needed to clear my head.
"Isabella, huh, thought you could run, huh?" I heard Charlie say. We were the only ones up there, and now I finally noticed that the door to go back down was locked. This wasn't good.
"Charlie, what do you want?" I said, getting ready to use my powers on him, but when I tried, they didn't work. I tried again, still no change.
He started walking towards me, so I backed up. Clumsy me, always gotta have something bad happen huh? Well, once my back hit the railing, I fell backwards. I then grabbed at anything I could get a hold of, which was a pole on the side of a window.
"This would be good, but then again, I need you to come back home with me." He said, staring, glaring at me. "I'll only help you up if you promise to come home with me." He said again.
"Why!" I cried, my feet starting to swing, me hands getting sweaty. I almost lost my gripping, but finally grabbed onto another window.
"'Cause, I like Melanie. She always wanted a kid, but she can't have any. She was looking for someone who had a kid, and I had you." He said with a smirk, "So, I told her about you. Then, bam, you showed up here with those kids." He said, still glaring.
"There my family. Not you!" I screamed, trying to get someones attention. The next thing I noticed was that I was falling. I screamed. Then my feet hit ground.
"Bella, are you okay?" Edward said, panicked. How'd he do that? I then looked back up, and saw nothing in how he could grab me. I really didn't care. I hugged him, still in his arms, finally noticing that I fit perfectly. Don't get carried away Bella.
"Bella!" I heard Alice and Emmett say, running over to us. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you! Why'd you run? Don't do that again!" Alice said, her arm grabbing mine. That was probably going to leave a bruise. Yeah, probably not.
"He's just going to keep chasing me." I said as Edward carried me, as Alice and Emmett followed, walking down the hall, and into a room that had tan walls, two beds, and a couch. A TV sat in the corner, and near the door there was a bathroom. We had a view of, well, water.
"We'll be on this boat for about four days, so Bella, just make sure that your with one of us at all times, okay?" Alice said as she was about to go down to the lunch room to grab me something to eat. Now, I wouldn't want to make her do that for me, but I was to afraid to go down there.
Alice said that she had a vision with me being taken with him today at 12:36, so it kind of freaked everyone out. That was why Emmett was staying with me and Edward. I then glanced up at the clock. 12:28.
"Did I do this to you Edward?" I said, running my finger over his warm arm.
"Uh, I think so..." He said, not sure of what to say. 12:31.
"Yo, I'm just gonna go, you know...playwiththenewWii," Emmett said, but we understood him perfectly well. "Yo kids stay out of trouble!" He said when he walked out of the bedroom, and into the living room. 12:33
"Bella, calm down. He's not going to take you." Edward said, staring at me staring at the clock on the wall.
"I know. I just, don't want to back with him, you know?" I said with a faint smile, looking into his eyes. 12:35
"Bella." He said sternly, catching me glancing again. At exactly 12:36, someone knocked on the door. I stopped breathing. I heard Emmett whisper to us to stay there, and he would be back.
"Bella? Bella, breath." Edward said, holding onto my shoulders. I did as what he told me to. He smiled, then kissed me...on the cheek. (A/N LOL! I never noticed at how Twilight was so funny! Just, if you think of the characters in the story, and think about how they say there lines, it cracks me up. Just, okay, lol. back to story time, sorry!)
"Emmett! Open the dang door!" I heard Alice say, which I then let out a sigh of reliefe that Alice just walked through the door, with a pizza box and 2 water bottle in her hands.
"Yummy! Food!" Emmett said, taking the pizza box, and ripping off a piece of it. He then looked directly at Edward. "See Edward! I can eat food too! Look!" He said, stuffing the pizza into his mouth, and chewing. After the 4th chew, he spit it out.
"Oh God! What kind of sick pizza are you?" He asked the pizza box, then walked back over to the Wii. He plugged in the microphone, and started singing the one song that I hated;
"Were going on a trip, in our favorite rocket ship.
Zooming through the sky! Little Emm-ett!
Climb aboard, get ready to explore, there's so much to find, little Emm-ett!
Come on, lets go, little Emm-ett!
We need you! Little Emm-ett, YEAH!" He finished off with actually throwing the mic through the floor. Good thing the people below us weren't in there!
"Woops!" He said, then took a pillow off the couch and layed it over the whole. "Perfect!" He stated happily, then went back to playing the singing game.
"Everyone saw that, right?" I asked them, they just shook there heads. Right...
Alice then went back out the room to call the rest at home, and to see what happend. I took a piece of pizza, and started chewing on it.
"Edward. You gotta eat something!" I said, waving my arms at the pizza box in dramatic effect.
"But it smells bad!" He said, hmm.
"No seriously, are you joking?" I asked, amazed at a human not eating pizza.
"Yes." He said, I knew he was telling the truth too. Strange.
"Well then, what smells good then?" I asked him, trying to get him to say something other then 'mountain lion'.
"Nothing." He said, his eyes wide with honesty.
"Are you sure your a human?" I asked him, not understanding what he was saying.
"Yup, I'm 100 percent sure that I am." He said, looking at Emmett who was trying to do a back flip off a wall. Stupid, lovable Emmett.
"BELLA! EDWARD! Go to sleep!" Alice said, looking at the clock and seeing that it was 11:32. Wow, where did the time go? Wait, how were we doing this?
"I call couch!" Emmett said. Of course the couch because it was right next to the Wii, and the stupid microphone.
"Okay then, well I'll- wait, Emmett you don't sleep!" I said after a moment's thought.
"So!" He shouted back, "Maybe I just wanna try and sleep on a couch!"
"Well, good luck then." I said, pulling Edward along with me. I really didn't like the blankets that were on the bed. There were some moth and dead flies, and I could have sworn that there was some blood on the bed. That's not right.
"Bella, what are you doing?" Edward asked as I pushed him down on the bed. No way was I going to sleep on that bed.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" I said, pulling out one of his shirt from the cabinet. I then placed it near him on both side. Now if I fell, I would only land on his shirts. In your face bed! Yeah, I'm talking to myself now, huh?
"Looks like your dressing the bed with my clothes," He said with a soft chuckle. I looked up to see Alice and Emmett watching me curiously. What? Can't a 15 year old put down her best friends clothes on the bed? Come on, is that illegal? Don't think so!
"Well, the bed would be thankful then." I said, climing ontop of Edward and lying down on his chest. "Good night!" I said, and heard everyone laugh. What?
"Good night Bella..." Edward said to me, as he to closed his eyes. I wonder what it would feel like to not dream for so long. I'll ask him tomorrow.
**********Later that night**********
I woke up when I heard a huge crack of thunder, and the tv and the radio and the bathroom light all went off. If were on a boat, then how does the power go out?
'Excuse me passangers, I'm sorry for the little black out. It looks like one of the wires to the lights broke, so were going to have to stop later on in the morning, and get some help." Some dudes voice trailed off as he walked down the hall way speaking into a mic thing.
I didn't see Alice or Emmett anywhere, so I guess that they were calling the others on the phone downstairs.
"Edward?" I said quietly, not sure that he was awake yet.
"Yes?" He said, pulling me in closer to his side.
"I hate thunder, and power outages." I said, breathing in shakily. "Did I wake you?" I blushed.
"No, I've been up for a couple of minutes now..." He said, his voice not even full of sleep.
"What were you doing for all this time?" I asked, trying to start up a conversation.
"Watching you sleep, as usual." He said with a shrug. Wait,
"You watch me sleep?" I said, a little shocked at what he just said.
"Yes, it's quite fascinating. You know you talk in your sleep?" He said with a chuckle, a crooked smile coming onto his perfect lips.
"Um, yes?" I said, more of a question than an answer.
"Anything else happen?" I asked him, looking away from his tempting lips.
"Tanya called." He said simply. Wait, Tanya?
"What did she say?" I was curious now, wanting to find out what she would say.
"She asked me if I wanted to go on a date." He said, gagging. A small smile came across my lips. "I wish she would take a hint that I loved someone else." That did it. Wait, what! He said loved? He's in love? With who?
"With who?" I asked, trying to hold back tears.
"Bella? Are you okay?" He asked. Darn it stupid tears. Only one escaped, and he sees.
"I'm fine. Uh, somethings in my eye." I said, holding back the sobs that wanted to come foward. I bit my lip from preventing that.
The next thing that he did was interesting. He flipped me over, so he was on top of me, I on the bottom. His breath on my face was making it hard for me to concentrate on what he was saying.
"Don't cry Bella." He said, kissing the trail of tears now flowing freely down my face. How could I not cry? I was helplessly in love with someone, who loved someone else.
If he was in love with someone else, then why was he doing this?
"I'm sorry..." I said, my tears coming down more slowly now. I had to calm down before he thinks I'm a freak. I bet he probably does.
"Your not a freak Bella." How did he hear me?
"You said that out loud. I guess I'm not the only one who needs to work on speaking out loud now, huh?" He said with a chuckle. He then leaned down, closer to my ear. I stopped breathing then, enjoying the sensation.
"YES I AM A VAMP LIKE YOU!" We heard coming down the hall, then a loud slap. "Ow! Ali! That wasn't nice!" Edward sighed, then moved off of me.
Stupid Alice and Emmett. They came dancing into the room with shopping bags.
"You guys do know that it's like, 1 in the morning, and you guys are just prancing around the boat, right?" Edward said, pulling me in closer by me side.
"Yeah. Do you have a problem with that?" Emmett said, walking over to the pizza box he saved, and drew a face on it with a huge black marker. The face actually kind of crepped me out... "Let's name it, Paulina!" Emmett said after a second thought.
"Alice, where you going?" I asked her as she was again, walking towards the door, humming 'Barbie Girl'.
"Do you really except me to stay here and watch you sleep? That's why Edward's here," I blushed at that. What, does everyone know that Edward watches me sleep? "now, come on Emmett, I need a shopping buddy."
"Can I get a new mic?" He asked as they walked out the door. I didn't get to hear the rest of there conversation.
"You never answered my question Edward." I said after a couple minutes of silence.
"What did you ask?" He said with a faint smile on his face. Did I mention we were in the same position now that we were in before we were rudely interupted? Well, we are.
"You, uh...love someone?" I said, my voice cracking again on the 'L' word.
"Yes. She has long brown hair, she beautiful, and she has deep brown eyes." He said. Uh...the girl who is the lead person in that movie 'Twilight'? That was the only thing that came into my mind.
"Yeah, that's good details. I can go find one on this ship if you want." I said sarcastically.
"No you couldn't. There's only one that stands out." He said, putting a loose strand of my hair out of my face. Wait, no. He wasn't talking about me. It's stupid to think that way Bella. Even though you have brown eyes. And brown hair. But your not beautiful.
"Yes, you are Bella. Don't say that." Man! Did I seriously say that out loud.
"Yes, you did." He said laughing. Dang it!
"Bella," He whispered. Our eyes locked on each others. Did I ever tell you that his eyes were beautiful? Well, they are.
"Edward." I said back, giggling slightly. He smiled, then leaned down even more. Our lips pulling towards eachother like a rubber band snapping back. Hey! Don't laugh! You try kissing THE Edward Cullen and try to keep think-
And that was when I woke up.
This is the longest chapter that I have ever made. Next chapter is going to be all about Bella and Edward, so don't freak. The first 3 people that reviews both chapter 24 and 25, I'll dedicate the next chapter to them! Thanks for reading!
