Chapter 4 Bets
BPOV
5 weeks without school means I would have a lot of time training. It's been kind of a long time since I was whipped into a new shape. Plus I need to kill Cullen first after what he had done to me. That piece of… skunk bag… I don't really like swearing much because I'm not the kind of person who swears a lot. I only swear when I feel that I really need to or to burst out my emotions. Right now I am so in a work out mode. I'm wearing a pair of yoga pants, athlete's bra and a pair of sneakers; it's my work outfit. I pulled my hair in a high ponytail. I am so gonna thank Charlie for not removing the poles I dangle on the ceiling. I started off on something very simple; I dangled my legs on the poles as I do some pull ups. After my 200th pull up I rested for a little. I only have a few sweats running through me so it means it's not enough. I grabbed my coat and zipped it up as I run down stairs. Today's Saturday so Charlie is off fishing. I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen.
Dad,
Need more training outside. I went into the woods to have more. Don't worry about me I can take care of myself plus I'm not going way inside. I might get a little late but not before dinner. You can start dinner without me. I'll bring my own.
-Bella
Let's face it; my hand writing is worse than scratches of chicken. I have the worst handwriting even in my old special school.
I'm not really going to take food 'cuz I don't know why but I don't really like to eat. I only brought a bottle of water. Before I locked the house I grabbed one of my canes. I grabbed the longest one. It's actually a few inches taller than me. It's one of my favorites because of it. I felt no person near so I ran in an abnormal speed into the forest. I feel sorry for Charlie because I lied to him two times. I lied about me bringing some food and lied about not going that far. I stopped running when I felt a very tall tree. "Perfect." I muttered to myself.
I took off my coat and hang it on one of the lower branches. I started to stretch because this would be very fun. I hanged on one of the branches then threw myself to the higher branch with my legs. I giggled like a little girl. This is much fun than I thought. I did some kind of pattern; legs then arms then legs and arms again and so on. I laughed out loud when I reached the top. I was balancing my whole body with my right arm on the top of the tree. After a few minutes of balance, I sat down comfortably on the top. I sighed heavily while some traitor tears ran through my cheeks.
If only I could see. Even just for a moment. A moment I could share with my family. Being blind is also the reason why I got separated from my real family. I always wonder what the world looks like. I always wonder if only I could see the sun for the first time.
I wiped the tears and hoped down the tree like I was sky diving. I closed my eyes and thought about my life would be if I were able to see.
When I passed half of the tree I grabbed the thin trunk and glided downwards as I avoid the branches. I landed in a crouch then it started to rain. I'm too depressed to care about getting a cold or something so I ignored the rain as I grabbed my coat and bottle of water.
I walked slowly as I sob silently while my tears and the raindrops ran through my face.
I shook my head trying to take my mind off those kinds of things that would depress me. I did five one hand cartwheels in a row to shake off my head. I gave up and continued crying over my depression under a giant tree. I felt a person's presence but I ignored it.
I was done when the rain stopped. I was soaking from both rain and my tears. When I got over my house I felt Charlie's cruiser on the driveway. Oh, boy. It means I stayed longer than I expected. When I got in I was ambushed by Charlie.
"Isabella Marie Swan." He said in a fatherly tone as he walks towards me. I bit my lip.
"Um… I can… explain?" It came out as a question.
"Go on and begin."
"Well…" I sighed before I continued. "I enjoyed myself too much because the trees here are so tall and I have never climbed a taller tree other than those in Phoenix plus I it rained and-" He cut me off.
"Okay, okay. Breathe Bella, breathe! It's not against the law." I inhaled sharply as he continued. "Bells it's alright as long as you keep track of time or if you would be late you should call me or something. Listen, I know you can take care of yourself but at least give your old man a peace mind." He threw me a box.
"Dad, what's this?"
"Open it yourself." I did what he said then my jaw dropped when I recognize the figure.
"Dad, you shouldn't have!" It was a phone. Not just any phones, it's the IPhone!
"It's your homecoming present which is delayed because I became busy lately."
"Look Dad, I can't accept this." I tried to push the box away from me but he pushed the box towards me.
"Bells, you'll need it more than I thought you would especially now that I would be busier." His tone was serious and I'm starting to get worried.
"What's going on?"
"Well it seems that animal attacks are getting common and more importantly, it's getting closer to the town. A lot of hikers, travelers and guards near or in the woods are the most common victims and I wouldn't know what to do if I'd lose you. So please as much as possible Bella, stay away from the woods." I just nodded as I hugged him.
"Be careful Dad. I to wouldn't know what to do if I'm the one who's going to lose you."
He pulled away. "Always am Bells, always am." I nodded. "Dry your self up Bells, you might catch a cold." I wanted to protest but I was getting tired anyway so I nodded as I went upstairs.
Tomorrow, school would resume and that means I would just have to relax all day. This would be like my day off. Instead of my usual work outfit, I'm wearing a spaghetti strapped tank, a pair of yoga pants and flip flops. My hair was the usual though.
My scented candles were lit, the furniture is pushed against the wall and my mat is fixed. Well I have to admit that the candles are scented after all. I lay down with my chest as I put my legs in between my head. Wait, wait, and wait! How I could forget this? I was going to stand up but I slipped. Ouch, that's going to hurt. I giggled a little to myself. I went over to my stereo and played my favorite and most relaxing music. I sighed in awe as I listened to Debussy. "I so love this." I kicked off my shoes and returned to my position earlier. I slowly returned to my position but this time it was different. I went up with my head first. As soon as I heard a soft melodic sigh over my window I grabbed my cane as fast as I could then turn to open my window. I let it go when I noticed that it was just a bird. Wait, birds can't sigh! I jumped out of my window and trap the person's neck with my cane. We were about to fall so I let him go for a little while as I landed in a crouch. As soon as we landed I trapped him again. I recognize this scent; it's Cullen's scent! I let him go but I'm still not letting my guard down. "What the hell are you doing here?!" I asked furiously.
He was caught off guard by the question. "Speak!!!" I ordered.
"Okay, okay…" He sighed lightly before he continued. "You see, I was passing by when I heard Debussy. So I climbed in the tree to see who was playing it-" I cut him off by holding my hand up.
"Let me get this straight; you were passing by when you heard Claire de Lune?"
"Yes…"
"Then why are you passing by my house?"
"Umm... I was taking a walk around the town and ran into the music…:
"Uh-huh… How in the world would you hear it? I mean come on even if my Dad is down stairs he wouldn't hear it and how would you if you were on the road?" He was silent for a while. I was getting impatient lately so I decided to let it go.
"Just… go someplace else already! Forget that happened and promise that you won't repeat it!" He mocked saluted as I climbed up to my window. I was near on getting inside until I slipped. I giggled to myself again. Oh, come on. I can be graceful but I still can't steady my legs properly?! What's wrong with me!?! I continued my relaxation session as if the day never ends.

I sat on a comfortable position on the tree near Bella's window as I watch her. It was weir ding me out because she usually wear sports bra and a pair of yoga pants instead she's wearing midnight blue spaghetti strapped tank and a pair of black yoga pants. Every day I watch her here in this spot except the first day I watched her do some acrobats. She went into the woods instead. I wanted to hear her thoughts so bad that day. Just so I would know why she was so upset. It pains me to see her so hurt. I wanted to comfort her that day but I would have blown my cover. I was wrong I don't love her. I only like her. I jumped to conclusions too fast. These feelings are just pity and admiration. Besides, I don't even deserve a beautiful creature like her.
After she found me outside her window I didn't listen to her and continued to watch her graceful movements. She was so graceful that she looks like she's dancing.
My thoughts were rudely interrupted by the vibration of my phone. Before I answered I ran to the forest so Bella wouldn't hear.
"Hello?"
"Hello brother dearest." Alice teased.
"Yes sister dearest?" I teased back.
"Just get your butt here now and hurry." She shrugged.
"Okay, bye." I hang up.
I ran back home only being ambushed by the ultra hyper pixie who jumps like a 4 year old.
"Why did you call me?" I asked annoyed.
"I had a vision, I had a vision!" She bragged in a sing-song way.
"What is it about?" I shrugged crossing my arms.
"I'm not going to tell you, I'm not going to tell you!" She said in a sing-song way again.
"Then why did you call me to come home if you're not going to tell me anyway?"
"To brag about it!" I shrugged it off. It's just another of those big sales in the mall I suppose. I was going into my room then I heard Alice's thoughts.
I can't believe this is going to happen! I saw me and Bella the blind girl hugging each other while she has honey gold eyes! Oh-oh, mind reader alert!
I started to chase her when she started to run around the house whilie squeling.. I was going to catch her when she had another vision.
~Vision~
A girl… she was attacking Bella!
~End of Vision~
"When does the attacker going to move?" She was going to answer but suddenly she became smug.
"Why do you care so much?" She asked in a smug way.
"Just answer the question Alice." She ignored me.
"I knew it, you like her don't you?!" She accused.
"No I don't." I defended.
"Bella Swan, what spell have you done to make me fall for you? I don't know Alice, maybe I do love her." She repeated what I have said in the hospital as she mimicked my voice.
"I said maybe." I defended.
"Yeah, of course you did." She said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "Ugh! Just admit it already! You love her!"
"Nu-uh"
"Uh-ha!" She defended.
"Nu-uh!"
"Uh-ha!"
"Nu-uh!"
"Uh-ha!"
"Nu-uh!"
"Uh-ha!" She defended as Emmett came in. The rest of the family is hunting so it's just us three here.
"Nu-uh, never!"
"Uh-ha, yes you are!!!"
"Hey, hey what's going on here?" Shouted Emmett.
"Nothing." I hissed. Emmett looked at Alice.
"Our dearest brother Edward is in love." She said in a dreamy voice.
"No way! Congrats man! And I thought you were gay!"
"You thought I was a what!?!" I exclaimed.
"Um… nothing… So who's the lucky future sister of mine?" Emmett changed the subject.
"Oh about that; it's a human!" Alice exclaimed.
"She's not an it!" I growled.
"Okay, okay, chilax!" Said Emmett. "So, who is she?" emphasizing she.
"Remember the blind girl from school?" Asked Alice.
"No way! The super-cool blind girl!?!" Alice nodded with a smug expression plastered on her face. "Dude, great choice!"
I growled. "I told you it's not going to happen! I don't like her!" I don't know why but a huge part of me is objecting.
"Then why are you so protective?" Asked Emmett. Got 'cha. Thought Alice.
"Ugh! Just answer my question Alice!" I yelled.
"Ugh… I don't know…" It was so obvious that she's lying.
"Mary Alice Brandon Whitlock Cullen!!!" I growled.
"Okay, okay, no need to say my whole name. Chilax."
"How could I chilax if you're frustrating me!?!" She rolled her eyes to me.
"About a few weeks before the dance."
"Do you see her features?"
"No. Sorry but I honestly can't." I just nodded.
After an awkward silence, Emmett spoke. "Hey Edward, where were you before you came home?"
"Um… I was… umm…" Oh boy. "It's none of your business…" I muttered.
"Right…" said Emmett sarcastically as he gazed to Alice.
"He was watching his true love outside her window, relaxing." She replied in a dreamy voice. After Alice's dreamy explanation, I glared at her while Emmett let out a booming laugh.
"Are you serious? I can't believe you're that desperate! Dude, the girl is just relaxing!"
I rolled my eyes. "You know, if you're the one who's watching her I'm sure you're jaw will drop in amazement."
"Try me."
"Sure."
"Want to bet?"
"Sure."
"If I win, you can't spy on the girl for a month."
"And if I win, you can't go near Rosalie for about 8 inches for a month."
"Deal?"
"Deal it is." We shook hands as Alice rolls her eyes. Boys, how could they not live without their bets? She thought.
We all ran to Bella's house and climbed the tree near Bella's window. When Emmett saw Bella's graceful movements his jaw literally dropped as his eyes grew big. Alice snickered at Emmett's reaction. "Remember; you can't go near Rosalie for about 8 inches for a month." I reminded him silently. We climbed down as we head back home. "Oh come on Edie, no fair!"
"Sorry Emmy, a bet is a bet." I chuckled as he pout. "Oh man, Rosie is going to be mad I tell you, mad!" Alice and I laughed at his statement.
"Well at least Emmy knows what Edie boy here see's in Bella." Snickered Alice as I rolled my eyes.
Though, Alice's statement is kind of true. But it's not only that what I see in her. I know there's more. Oh who am I kidding? I don't like her! I don't love her! I can't love her…
