I can't be your superman
Leah POV
Hey there, I'm sure most of you are thinking. "Wow, you speak proper in your thoughts."
Yes I do, I only speak slang to my friends but in my head, it's easier to speak like this.
How about you put the Queen of England's voice in your head as you read this, it'll make things much more entertaining.
Let me tell you a little about me. Let's be honest about ourselves, I'm basically Bella's bitch. It's not like I try to be, it's not like she treats me this way on purpose, shit just happens.
The reason I'm the one taking over for this chapter is because well. I think it's about time that you all get to know what happens outside of Bella's world.
Yeah, we're all pretty fucking lucky to have parents who own businesses like Apple and car companies like Ford.
The thing that most of the kids in this town have in common is that we never really see our parents; it's amazing that we're all still alive.
I've been in California my whole life, I don't remember much about my childhood, but then again who does.
I've been friends with Bella for ages, how she ended up on this pedestal that this whole town puts her on, I'm not sure.
It honestly annoys the fuck out of me. Like, wow holy shit you surf, and you got signed to a team, congratulations.
That does not make you famous, not everyone is into surfing, and it's not as big as it used to be.
The point I'm trying to make is that well, Bella is a cocky fucking asshole.
Shit, it's not her fault though. After she dated Angela her ego shot through the fucking roof.
She was amazingly chill, and down to Earth before Angela came along.
All of a sudden all of these girls who would never even speak to Bella started calling her, adding her on Facebook, tweeting her.
Bella became popular over night.
She might have you fooled, thinking that she's confident as hell.
No, you haven't seen when Bella freaks out because she thinks someone won't like her. Bella's as insecure as any other girl.
She's my best friend don't get me wrong, I love her to death.
She puts up this front for her brother and the rest of the kids at the school. I thought I'd have to get used to this arrogant friend of mine.
But when Charlotte and Rosalie came to the school. I saw my old friend again.
Now, I'm not innocent. I have two girls right now, I have Nessie, and I have Charlotte.
But we're not talking about me.
Bella never looked at another girl like she looked at Rosalie, she didn't even look at Angela that way.
I know Rosalie is good for Bella I just know it, but Bella has to stop being this cocky ass hat.
Anyway, the weekend at the YMCA went by pretty quickly. The parents were there bright and early to pick up their kids, which meant we got to leave sooner than we thought.
The downfall of all that was that we needed to take a cab back to our house.
For one thing finding a cab just driving around was rare, so we had to call up an independent company that was located an hour away.
We found ourselves playing basketball in the gym until Bella's phone rung, so she sat on the bleachers while I practiced my free throws.
Eventually she walked out of the gym without saying a word, so when she didn't come back for a while I decided to put away the basketball and go search for her.
I went out towards the front and saw her sitting on a bench. So instead of sitting next to her I went to the opposite one and sat down.
She sadly was still on the phone, so I distracted myself while listening to some music and waiting for the cab.
I'm glad I didn't have to wait long since I saw the yellow cab coming down the hill.
I grabbed my bag and looked back at Bella who seemed distracted while she was on the phone.
The cab pulled up so I started walking towards it, and put my bags in the trunk and called out to Bella who just looked up and put up her hand, signaling for me to wait a second
That shit right there irritated me. Like, I'm not your daughter don't tell me what to do.
It's not like I don't have the balls to tell that to her. I just don't see a point on calling her out on it.
I did wait for a few seconds before getting into the cab and making sure the driver didn't start the meter.
Later on Bella decided to finally get up with her bag and come towards the window. I rolled it down giving her the "wtf' look which she completely shrugged off. She got in the front seat which I know is against the "cab law" but he didn't really seem to care, and he eventually pulled off, taking us towards Bella's house.
At that point I put my headphones in my ear.
But right now I'm dying of boredom. I need to fucking party. Basketball season is over, and I have nothing else to focus on.
My phone started vibrating and I saw I had a call from Nessie. I looked up to see what Bella was doing before I picked up the call.
"Hey Babe."
"Hi Lee, am I interrupting anything?"
"Not at all…. I miss you."
There was a brief silence on the phone before I heard her sigh. I smirked a little bit, I could just picture her biting her lip and rolling her eyes.
"You're lucky you're cute. Listen what are you doing tonight? There's a hookah bar that opened up in the square. Will you go with me?"
"Of course babe, I'll let you know what's happening once I get to Bella's house."
"You're coming here?"
"Yeah, just so I can get Bella to drop me off at home. We're in a cab at the moment."
"Oh, well alright. I love you."
"I love you too."
I quickly hung up the phone before Bella wondered who I was talking to.
It only took us 10 minutes to get to her house, so I hopped out of the cab, grabbed my bags out of the trunk and made my way towards the front door. I seriously had to use the bathroom.
"Yo Leah wait up, I need you to do something for me."
I turned around to see her paying the cab driver but she was still talking to him about something. So with a deep sigh I went back towards the cab and just looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Can you go to the mall for me, I ordered something's that you need to pick up for me, so I can set up here."
"What are you doing?" My bladder was screaming in protest but I'm sure the cab driver had the meter running and it would cost me five bucks just to use the bathroom.
"I ordered something's for Rosalie, and I'm going to invite her over apologize, and then boom we're back together."
"Uhm, alright take my bags." I handed my duffel to her and got in the back of the cab.
"Wait how are you paying for this, did you pre pay?"
She shook her head. "I'm paying for it."
She handed me a piece of paper with everything that she ordered, all together she way paying around 12,000 dollars.
And only from one store.
"Bella are you sure this is, necessary? That's a lot of fucking money."
"Just do it Leah." She handed me her black card and I just sighed.
"Whatever man."
-California Love-
Anything you say, can and will be held against you. So only say my name…
The cab driver dropped me off in front of Jared jewelers and I went in to pick up Bella's order while the cab kept the meter running. Damn I hate spending money like this.
I went in and looked around for anyone that could help me. Unfortunately no one seemed to give a fuck when a teenager came into the store.
I went up to a glass case and knocked on, waiting for the lady and the end of the row to pay me some attention. She was talking to someone so I didn't want to completely interrupt her.
One guy came from the back with a few jewelry boxes, which I assumed was Bella's order.
"Excuse me sir, is the for Bella McCarty?"
He shook his head and told me to wait while he went to the back and came back with a white box that was much larger and wrapped up with a red bow.
Damn, it looked like Christmas with that sparkly bow on it.
"This is what a Miss Bella McCarty ordered earlier, I assume you're her?"
I shook my head. "I'm a friend, she sent me here to pay for it, apparently it's an apology gift for her ex or something."
I rolled my eyes while talking and pulling out Bella's credit card.
The man eyed it and his eyes went wide as his greedy hands opened up for the card.
I gave it to him, not really giving a fuck about it since it's not mine.
He handed me the card and a receipt that I needed to sign along with my personal copy.
I thanked him and started walking out of the store before I saw a necklace and a matching earing set that would look perfect on Nessie.
"Do you need anything else ma'am."
I nodded my head. "Yeah actually, let me get this."
-California Love-
By time I got back to Bella's house it was about 8pm since I decided to stop for some food.
I got out of the cab after paying the guy and headed in through the garage that just so happen to be open. The house seemed quiet but I turned the corner and saw a shit load of alcohol bottles. I mentally face palmed and thanked the heavens at the same time. I was just saying I needed a party, I just didn't think Bella was going to throw it.
I put Bella's box on the kitchen table before I walked towards the guest room that Nessie finally moved into.
I saw her back faced towards the door, she was on her laptop scrolling through her tumblr with her music blasting in her ears.
I closed the door and unpackaged her gift and got on the bed behind her.
I'm sure she felt the bed dip so she snapped her head towards me and glared before rolling her eyes.
She took out her ear plugs and closed her laptop before turning all the way around wrapping her arms around my neck before kissing me quickly.
"What are you hiding from me? Hmm."
I smiled before bringing the box in front of her. "I bought you something today."
She squealed when she opened the box and started attacking my face and all I could do was smile into the many kisses she was giving me.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You're the best girlfriend ever."
Shit, I froze for a minute because I don't remember making her my girlfriend.
-California Love-
After two hours of laying around with Nessie I got up and went out towards the living room where I heard voices. Emmett was sitting on top of the table talking to Jacob.
Damn, I'm not going to get used to Jacob and that hair. I approached both of them, dapping them up and looked around at the few people who were there.
"Bella throwing a party or something?"
They both shrugged looking slightly confused.
"I didn't hear anything about a party, we're just getting back from playing street hockey. We were wondering why there's so many bottles over there."
I shrugged before I went around the house looking for Bella, I gave up when I checked her room and found it empty. She must've went somewhere.
So I decided to just chill out with the boys until later tonight.
Incase you're wondering, I went to the bathroom in the mall since I almost didn't make it out of Jared's.
The Final Four was on TV so most of us were watching that. We heard the front door open and a few people I recognize from school came filing around the corner.
Not even five minutes later cars started parking in the back yard and kids entered from the back garage.
I looked up at Emmett who was starting to get a little irritated all these people were showing up.
Some of the people I didn't recognize so that's the only thing I was worried about.
Unknown faces always meant trouble.
Jacob came and sat on the arm of the chair I was in.
"You know these people."
I shook my head, not looking at him since he wasn't looking at me. Though I could tell he glanced at me.
"Does Bella?"
I shrugged. I wasn't talking because there was some random guy beside me who was making me uncomfortable.
Eventually I got up and went in the kitchen where unknown people were mixing drinks.
I took out my phone and dialed Bella up almost immediately.
"Yo"
"Where you at dude, there's a lot of people here, we were wondering who they were and maybe if you knew."
"There's people there already, damn it's kind of early. Yeah I invited some kids from our school, I'm sure they invited more people. It's cool they're with me. I'm in the car with Rosalie and Charlotte at the moment I'm literally up the street. See ya."
She hung up before I could respond and I went back inside. Tucking my phone in my back pocket I looked around for Emmett who was already kicking someone out of the house.
When he was done I approached him. "Bella said she invited some people over, and apparently they invited more people over. So, yeah this isn't random."
He rolled his eyes.
I'm not sure about the beef the they're having right now but they always seem pretty pissed at each other for the last couple of days.
I saw Bella come in through the front door with Rosalie and Charlotte behind her.
I started getting kind of nervous with Charlotte and Nessie in the same house but I'm sure it would be fine, since Charlotte and me were starting to drift apart.
Bella came in with the biggest smile when she saw all of the people. She somehow got everyone to stop to talking with a wave of her hands and she pulled Rosalie towards her and got the box from behind the marble countertop.
She got down on one knee and I visibly cringed when I saw Rosalie's face. It like she was shocked but was pissed off deep down.
You know, I never did look inside of the box. But when she opened it and I saw that small square box that can literally only hold one thing my eyes were probably bigger than Rosalie's.
"Oh no." I heard Emmett whisper beside me.
Bella opened it and presented it to Rosalie. "This isn't an engagement ring, don't worry. It's a promise ring. I'm asking you to be my girl, and I'm promising you right now that I'll be yours forever, ok? I'm promising you that you are my everything and nothing will get in between that. So, say yes."
Rosalie shook her head with an unreadable expression. "No, that's no. It's not that easy."
Bella just shrugged. "Fine then, I'll give it to someone else. I'm tired of trying."
Bella got up, closed the ring box and put inside of the bigger one.
"Bella are you serious?, Please tell me that this, that you're joking that, I just, I don't know ok?"
"You said try again, I'm trying."
"Not like this, you can't."
"Well then you can leave. I have a party to throw."
Everyone was quiet and I'm sure everyone was uncomfortable at the same time.
"Don't you dare fucking talk to me like that in front of all these people, trying to embarrass me."
Bella clenched her jaw and sighed.
She looked around at everyone before grabbing onto Rosalie wrist and pulling her to the back.
When they left it was an uncomfortably awkward silence. So Emmett got up and and smiled.
"Bella didn't go through all of this for it to go to waste. So drink up motherfuckers."
A/N: Shhiiiit, I'm so close to getting to the part that I've been looking forward to. The smut is coming soon and just ugh. I'm so excited. Review please guys, I love you all. Excuse the typos as well I don't have a beta.
