Chapter 5 A New Day
I fell asleep quickly thinking of Nate from my book how did he ever stand to keep living with his abusive father.
Today is a new day I will approach it with a smile. I thought as I got dressed in as always something I did not pick out, it was laying on the end of my bed when I woke up I assumed that Alice had put there when I was asleep. She had picked it out that was obvious, it was a mini dress that stopped a little bit before mid thigh, it was blue and had a floral print on it. It was a strapless halter dress with a stringy bow on the front. Below it on the floor were her flats and her Jimmy Choo's. She was giving me a choice, the choice was up to me if I wanted to I could wear the flats or the Jimmy Choo's. I decide since I was approaching this day with a smile and being nice I would wear the death traps she called shoes.
I came walking out of my room wearing the dress and her shoes trying not to turn my ankles in the death traps and went in the kitchen looking for a snack it was only 6:30 by the clock over the sink so I guessed that Alice and Rose were not awake yet. I got me a package of crackers and got a can of that spray cheese and went to the living room with my laptop. I only ate a few crackers because I got sick to my stomach seeing who my new friend request was on Facebook. Well Jacob finally got a Facebook, but I still was not going to add him.
I hit ignore and went to my wall. I had 3 people who had wrote on my wall. My closest family friend and cousin Dalana had wrote 'Are you okay? haven't seen you on in a while…hope your okay… LYLAS -D' I went to the next one was posted 8 hours after that it was from my friend Lacey we had went to high school together like Dalana she was also really nice. 'Bella' she had wrote 'I heard what happened with Jacob I'm so sorry! Why do boys have to be such jerks you have never met a decent boy in your life especially after Edward you stopped looking for a guy…I'm sorry. Love -L' The last one was posted by Alice 'You better be ready to leave by 9 tomorrow or else…. -A' That one was the one that had scared me the other two made me sick to my stomach the two guys who I didn't want to speak to or even think about names ended up on my wall!
I sighed this day was already getting off to a crummy start. I set my status as 'Starting the new day with a smile and open for new beginnings, hoping I will have a better future than my past.' I heard Alice's little taps of her heels as they came into the living room.
"Your up and dressed what an amazing start to this new day!" she said brightly. I started to make a rude comment then I thought about what I was going to do today. Today I was going to start the day with a smile and try to make everyone happy. The new Bella was going to be nice and open minded.
"Yeah I got up early. So is Rose up yet?" I asked
"No, but she probably will be in a few minutes why?"
"I just want to go to the mall and I'm in the mood for some shopping."
She stared at me wide eyed.
"What?" I asked innocently
"Who are you and what have you done with the real Bella?"
"Alice it's me I am the real Bella I don't know why I am in the mood for shopping I just am."
"ROSE!" Alice yelled as she went running down the hall. I heard Rosalie's door bang open and heard Alice saying
"Rose get up and get dressed quick we have to get to the mall while Bella is still in a good mood!"
"What kind of mood?" I heard her ask
"A shopping mood." she replied as I walked into the room Alice had ran into Rose's closet and was getting the bag that had the maroon dress that we had bought the other day. I looked over at Rose who was staring wide eyed at me as she got up and came to grab my face with both hands.
"What the heck are you doing?" I asked as she started turning my head to one side then to the other. I didn't understand what she was looking for?
"Bella did you fall out of bed this morning and hit your head because if you did I cant find the bruise." she said still examining my head.
"No I did not fall out of bed I am just in the mood for shopping and spending money so get dressed so I can go spend some money!" I started yelling before I was finished.
"Bella is it that time of the month?" Alice asked "Because your awful cranky this morning."
"No!" I didn't care if it was a lie. "I just want to do some shopping so lets go before I get where I don't want to shop."
They finished getting ready pretty quickly after that. Alice wore a mini Yellow Sundress I liked it if had straps and was a little longer I would wear it, and Rose wore a maroon dress with a white band around the middle. We were at the mall within the next 20 minutes.
We shopped till lunch we were hungry by then and Rose, Alice, and me were all craving Chinese Food so we got our food in the food court and sat at one of the tables next to the fountain. As we were eating I was listening to a joke Rose had heard from her friend Shelly from college. When I caught something moving towards us out of the corner of my eye. I started choking on my noodles and that got Alice and Rose's attention.
"Bella are you okay!" Rose asked as Alice started patting me on the back.
"Alice that isn't going to help now don't say my name out loud Cullen's and friend at 6 o'clock heading this way. Alice and Rose both looked over to where they were coming from, I peeked from the corner of my eye and saw that Edward was carrying a bouquet of roses the same kind that was in the box we got.
"Girls I think I know who sent me those flowers, look whose carrying the same type."
"OMG!" Rose said
"Bathroom time!" said Alice said which meant lets get the heck out of here.
We stood up to leave but they were faster. They caught up to us because I tripped over Rose's chair leg.
"Just keep walking and keep your eyes looking straight ahead got to the bathroom!" I said panicky
"I don't get it maybe you could just see if he has changed since high school, just give him a chance." said Rose, but she kept her eyes straight ahead. We made it to the bathroom in time they couldn't follow us in there. Alice went to sit on the counter by the sink, while Rose and I went to the bathroom.
"Alice do you think they'll wait out there for us?" I asked once I was done washing my hands.
"Not if we stay in here long enough, and if you don't want them to know who we are Bella I respect that but if you don't we're gonna have to come up with fake names." Rose said as she was touching up her make up.
"Yeah like I could be named Violet." said Alice in agreement
"I want to be named Morgan." Rose said
"What should my name be?" I asked
"Mary?" suggested Rose "Ew no!" Alice said
"How bout Lexi? Short for Alexa." I suggested
"Perfect!" they said at the same time.
*EPOV*
"I don't know Emmett maybe we shouldn't wait for them…maybe this was a bad idea." I said looking down my flowers drooping a little. I liked this girl she looked so familiar but I didn't know who she is. I have changed since high school, I am not the same guy I was then, but everyone of my old friends don't think I have. There she is. She is sitting with her friends looking beautiful with her long brown hair with it's natural red streaks. There she is nothing else matters but her, oh I wish I knew her name.
"Of course it is Edward." said Jasper I saw Jasper hesitate
"What is it man?" I asked him
"It's just her friend the little one I think I've seen her before she looks really familiar to me even the blond does." he said
"Yeah I see it too the blond does look familiar to me too." said Emmett in agreement with Jasper "Maybe we went to high school together or something?"
"Emmett there is no way we went to high school together and missed them." but I still wondered. I noticed them getting up and getting ready to leave.
"C'mon hurry up their leaving." I said as I quickened my pace following them then I saw the direction they were going in, they were heading to the restrooms." Wait!" I said catching Emmett and Jasper's arms. "Their heading to the restrooms. We cant follow them into the women's restroom lets just go home."
"C'mon Edward we'll just wait for them out here I mean how long can three girls take in the bathroom?" said Emmett. Or so we thought
"Emmett it's been 15 minutes do you still think its worth waiting on them?" That was when I heard her voice and looked up to see them walking from the bathroom laughing.
**BPOV**
"Okay Bella we have been in here for 15 minutes they probably have already left. So lets go I want to stop at a few more stores before we go home." said Alice
"Okay…." I said as we started walking towards the doors. "Hey did I ever tell you that Pick up Line I got from Cha Cha?" I asked
"No what on was it this time?" Alice said
"Okay this one is a guy one but I thought it was funny. What has 200 teeth and hold back the incredible hulk?" I asked
"Um a shark?" Rosalie asked
"Nope! Alice guess?"
"Um a dinosaur?" she asked
"Nope!"
"Just tell us!" said Rose
"My zipper! See I told you it was a guy one but I thought it was funny!" I said. They looked at each other for a minute then they busted out laughing and I had to laugh with them. We were still laughing when we walked out of the bathroom and saw that they were still waiting for us. I quit immediately my good mood vanished. Edward started walking toward me with the roses still in his hand.
"Um" he said shyly "These are for you." he said as he started to hand me the roses
I took them and then threw them back at him. "Here you could of got me these over 3 years ago when I actually liked you!" I said
"What do you mean?" he said his green eyes scorching
"In high school when I actually liked you but you blew me off!"
"Um… I'm sorry but I didn't go to high school with you." he said politely
"Did you ever buy a yearbook in high school?" I asked a little more calmer
"Yes, do you even know who I am or even who they are?" he said as he pointed over to Emmett and Jasper who were staring at Rose and Alice.
"Yes as a matter of fact I do!" I said coldly
"Oh really then who are we tell us are names." he said a little angry now
"You are Edward freakin Cullen and he is Emmet Cullen and Jasper Freakin Hale!" I said on the burgee of loosing it. I looked over to Alice and saw her staring at Jasper.
"Violet stop looking at him he will just hurt you again…. You too Morgan." They looked away sadly.
"C'mon lets go home I don't want to shop anymore." I said as I started walking away.
"Wait!" he said as I hesitated a few yards away from him.
"Can I at least know your name."
"No! you should of thought of that back in Forks High!" I yelled
"Lexi c'mon lets go!" said Alice. When we go to the car we put our bags in and then sat in it for a little while trying to catch out breath.
"What just happed back there." Rose asked
"Bella lost it." Alice said amused
"I didn't lose it I just let a little of my anger out." I said It's still early and I don't want to go home yet it's not even 2 o'clock yet so where do we want to go?"
"Bella are you sure you can drive? I mean after going crazy!" Alice asked giggling
"Yes and FYI I DID NOT GO CRAZY!" I laughed/yelled
"Yeah sure you didn't go crazy." said Rose
"How bout we go see a movie?" Alice suggested
"No I'm too hyped up to sit through a movie." said Rose
"Me too!" I said "How bout we get an ice cream cone and walk around the park it's feels good out today." I said
"Yeah that sounds nice just a little stroll around the park ok yeah lets go to the park." said Alice
"To the park!" said Rose as I backed out and started to drive away. When we got to the park we stopped at one of the many ice cream trucks that was through out the park and got three chocolate ice cream cones. We all loved chocolate ice cream. The park was really pretty and it was about 80° out, but there was a cool breeze to keep us cool. We walked the whole park just talking about random things the one thing we didn't talk about was the boys (Edward Emmett Jasper Jacob) none of us wanted to think about them.
"Alice?" I asked
"Yes Bella?"
"Do you still like Jasper?" I asked as I watched her expression from happy to one of guilty
"Um… yeah I kind of do." she said guiltily
"Rose what about you? Do you still like Emmett?" I asked
"Yes." she sighed
"Okay then I will give Edward a chance and we can see if they have changed since high school, but only on one condition." I said as I watched their faces brighten.
"What!" they said
"They have to figure out who we are all by themselves we cant help them or tell them anything no hint no nothing…. Okay?"
"Awesome yeah okay!" said Alice
"Now lets go home and change so we can have a night out on the town!" I said
"Yay! Can we go to The Blue Acorn?" asked Alice
"Sure we can do what ever we want" I said as I pulled into the driveway. We went inside and changed into different clothes. Alice wore a sequined silver mini dress with my black tights and black pumps, Rose wore a baby blue mini with her belt and black high heels, and I wore a more simples cream colored dress with cream pumps. We were ready and walking out of the house going back to my mustang since I said I got to drive it was only 5:30 when we got in line to get into The Blue Acorn. We were almost at the front of the line when I saw a car passing by slowly with the windows all rolled down. I knew the car instantly it was the car of Edward Cullen and is two wingmen. Well at least they were not coming here, the car went on down the street and turned the corner.
"I.D. please." said the guy holding the pretty red rope as we held up our id's
"Go on in, and you ladies have a lovely evening." he said unhooking the pretty red rope and letting us pass.
"Thank you uh…" I said looking for his name tag "Bill." He flushed and looked away as he mumbled a your welcome. When we got in the music was blasting an Alice suggested that we go dance.
"Um Alice I hate to ruin your evening, but look who is here." I said pointing to Alice's ex boyfriend Andrew. She had been with him for about 4 months and then she like me caught him in bed with another women and she broke it off.
"And he is coming this way." Said Rose
"Oh crap!" she said "Can we go now I'm tired anyway."
"Sure!" I said more relieved then I should have been. We got home about 30 minutes later because we stopped to get a bite to eat.
