Chapter 4- What's a girl to do?
Bella sped down the streets of Forks with a newfound attitude. Arguing with Rosalie had awoken a side of her that she was forced to put away long ago. You see, Bella wasn't always the awkward chick that everyone in Forks new her to be. Believe or not, Bella was every parent's worst nightmare. She was known by many back in Arizona due to her rebellious ways. Eventually, all the hardcore partying, cutting class, and getting into fights came to an end when Phil, Renee's boyfriend, found Bella's hidden stash of weed hidden under the mattress off her bed. Renee wanted to send Bella off to a private school in hopes of changing her ways but Phil was convinced that it wouldn't change a thing and he refused to keep her in Arizona for any longer. Before Bella could blink, her ass was getting sent off to Forks to live with her father, Charlie. Phil knew that sending her to live with the Police of Chief was the best idea. Bella wouldn't dare try anything with him around.
Moving to Forks had changed Bella's life for the worst. She missed her group of followers, her multiple boyfriends and the late school night parties. She went from being worshiped by her peers to nothing more than the new girl who looked too pale to be from Arizona. As Phil predicted, Bella played the innocent role quite well around Charlie. For one, she didn't want to be arrested by her own father and two; she wanted Charlie to be proud of her. Ever since Bella was a little girl, she always wished that it was Charlie who brought her up. Maybe she would have turned out okay. Renee was the main cause for Bella's downward spiral. She was sure that Phil was sent from hell to terrorize her life. The pair never got along. He would always find ways to push Bella over the edge. She needed her mother to stick up for her but Renee was too much of a coward to confront Phil. The roles had somehow switched and Bella was stuck taking care of her irresponsible mother and her dickhead of a boyfriend, Phil. She was trapped, so she did the only thing there was to do. She rebelled.
Bella parked up beside the forest trail that led to her personal haven. She had a lot of thinking to do. For one, she was still in Rosalie's body. Out of all the people to switch bodies with, why did it have to be Rosalie fucking Hale?
She also needed some time to think about what she truly wanted. Bella loved Edward more than love itself. He was the one responsible for making her first few days in Forks much more enjoyable. Edward was not like the other boys Bella dated. Apart from the obvious differences; Edward was caring, kind, funny, loyal, and loving. Who wouldn't want a boyfriend with all those qualities? He worshiped her and she had no clue as to why. Why would somebody so perfect want to be with a low life like her? This wasn't the real her. Rebella was who she truly was. Not only was she lying to herself but she was lying to Edward. She lied to keep him .She was terrified of losing him again. The problem was she didn't know how much longer she could keep it up for.
And then there was Jake. Jacob knew all about little miss Rebella. He knew her more than Edward did. Ever will. When Edward left Bella, Jacob was the one that was there for her. He pieced her back together. Their relationship grew stronger over those past few months. They even stole a few kisses here and there. She told him everything there was to know about her and he accepted her without hesitation. Bella was able to be herself around him. That was why she loved Jacob so much. If she ever told Edward about whom she really was…
Bella stopped herself from thinking about that. She couldn't bear to lose Edward again. Not after everything they've been through. So who the hell was she supposed to choose? The man who loved her based off of lies or the immature and hormonal wolf boy who loved her for who she truly was?
Bella finally reached the meadow and collapsed down onto a flower bed of roses. She sighed and closed her eyes. For the first time in her life, Bella wished she could sleep again. She'd take the nightmares over this shit any day.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept thought the forest, carrying a scent so sweet and mouth watering. Bella jumped up into a crouch position and sniffed the air. She moaned as she imagined the warm sticky substance travelling down her throat and soothing the scorching burn.
The inexperienced vampire sprinted through the forest at vampire speed until she found what she was looking for. A heard of oblivious deer stood before her. Bella charged without a second thought towards the herd. Her sudden movement alerted them and before she could pounce, they were off.
"Fuck!" she yelled out in frustration. She got back up to her feet and chased after the deer again. Several wipeouts later, Bella had finally managed to drain one single deer. With one last gulp, Bella set off to find something bigger.
Bella drove back to the Cullen mansion after her little rampage. She carefully slid out of the car soaked in animal blood from head to toe. It literally looked like she had taken a bath in blood. Rosalie was definitely going to kill her.
Bella trudged her way up the front steps of the mansion and knocked on the front door. When no one answered, she let herself in. It was odd walking into the Cullen mansion without someone escorting her.
The house was quiet as usual. Maybe she could sneak her way up to the bathroom without anyone noticing her. As she passed the living room, she found Alice and Jasper cuddled up on the love seat watching television.
She tried to sneak past them but Jasper turned his head around at the sound of her arrival. His jaw dropped to the floor when he took in the state of her.
"What the hell happened to you?" Jasper asked, stifling a laugh. Alice turned her head around and let out a shrill of laughter.
"Don't ask." Bella grumbled and continued sloshing down the hallway and then up the never ending staircase to Rosalie and Emmett's bedroom.
The door was left slightly ajar when she entered. Emmett was in here, she could hear his heavy breathing. Since when did vampires need to breathe? Bella searched the bedroom for him but it didn't take her very long. She found him bent over something in their closet. When she got closer, she noticed that he was bent over what looked to be a suitcase. Emmett whipped his head around when he heard Bella clear her throat. His eyes were wide with unshed tears. He looked so helpless. He'd been crying.
"Hey." he said casually, brushing past her into their bedroom. Bella bit her lip and turned around to face him again.
"Hey?" she questioned. Something was wrong. Emmett wasn't acting like his usual obnoxious self. Then again, this morning she didn't leave him any reason too.
"Yup." was his curt reply. He roughly opened up the drawers on the dressing table and began pulling out Rosalie's endless supply of lingerie.
"What are you doing?" Bella questioned in alarm.
"I'm packing your things. I know this is what you want, Rose. You can't stand being a part of this family any longer. I can see it. So just leave. I won't stop you anymore".
"W-what?" Bella gaped at him. This couldn't happen! Rosalie would flip out!
"No Emmett! I'm staying here! With you!"
"Please." Emmett pleaded, "Please Rose, just go".
Bella couldn't let Emmett do this to Rosalie. Rosalie better owe Bella big time for what she was about to do. Bella leapt across the room over towards Emmett's hulk body and pressed her lips against his.
As if things couldn't get any more awkward…
Rosalie was currently having a coughing fit due to the thick black smoke that was surrounding her in the kitchen of the Swan household. She had attempted to cook some frozen food for dinner, since the lasagna she had tried to make earlier was a complete catastrophe. She had carelessly left the food in the wrapper as she put it in the oven to cook.
"Bells!" he called.
Oh how I hate that nickname…
"Yes chief-, dad! I'm in here!"
"Is everything alright in here? And why is the house all smoky?"Charlie asked as he appeared around the corner.
"Everything is fine why wouldn't everything be fine?" Rosalie rushed out in panic, hiding the fire extinguisher behind her back.
"You're a terrible liar you know. I guess you get that from me." Charlie lightly pushed Rosalie out of the way to peer into the oven. He stared dumbfounded at the melted plastic on the oven rack.
"What the…How did you even manage to-?"
"I forgot to take the fish out of the packaging! It's a common mistake!" Rosalie cut him off in defense.
"This is not a common mistake, Bella. Only I would do something stupid like this. You could have really hurt yourself Bella!"
"Jeez Charlie, I accidently burnt our dinner! Get over it!" Rosalie snapped. Charlie stared at his daughter in shock. Bella had never lashed out at him like this before.
"Uh…I'll… just… order some pizza?" Charlie suggested, trying to ease the tension in the room.
"Whatever." Rosalie flicked her hair over her shoulder and sauntered out of the kitchen.
"I asked for a boy and this is what they give me!" Charlie mumbled to himself as he order them some pizza.
After a long hot shower to get rid of the burnt plastic smell, Rosalie could finally relax. Or so she thought. As she lay on Bella's bed, she thought back to what she'd done to deserve this. Maybe it was god punishing her for convincing Edward to leave Bella after Jasper went all psycho. Surely none of that stuff was bad enough to make her switch bodies with the devil herself. Ever since Isabitch waltzed into the Cullen's life, they've been directing all of their attention towards Bella. They would all risks their own damn lives to save one useless human girl's! She had them all wrapped around her little finger. Why couldn't they see that Bella was the real bad guy here? Why couldn't they fucking see that she was ripping their family apart! The only reason Rosalie and Edward didn't get along was because of Bella. Edward and Rosalie use to be the closest in their family before she showed up. He told Rosalie things that he couldn't tell anyone else. Now, Rosalie was suddenly a threat.
Rosalie had enough. She was determined to get her body back. Rosalie noticed the small prehistoric looking computer in the far corner of Bella's bedroom. Maybe she could research what happened to them.
Rosalie spent the next few hours researching the myths about the body switch curse and snacking on a delicious slice of pepperoni pizza. She found one passage that sounded similar to what happened to them. It was a Quileute myth. At the end of the passage, it read:
The thing that glows is the one that knows
"What the fuck does that mean!" Rosalie thought aloud.
"What does what mean?" A velvety voice spoke from behind her. Rosalie shrieked and quickly spun around to find Edward staring at her in amusement.
"Sorry I'm late" he smirked. As quickly as he appeared, he disappeared. The bedroom door flung open and Charlie poked his head in.
"Everything alright Bells? I heard you scream. You look like you saw a ghost or something?"
Rosalie nodded her head as she waited for her heart rate to return back to normal.
"Alrighty…" Charlie reluctantly shut the door, leaving Rosalie alone.
Edward causally stepped out of the closet as if nothing happened.
"Sorry to scare you love; I thought you'd be used to it by now".
Used to it? This is just sick and wrong!
"H-how did you get in here?" Rosalie suddenly remembered the conversation back at the diner with Bella. She was so caught up in her research that she had forgotten to lock the damn window!
"The window?" Edward chuckled, though Rosalie was not amused.
"Is everything okay? Do you not want me here?"
Yes!
"No! Just forget it!"
"Forgotten. So what are you doing?" Edward asked, gesturing to the computer behind her.
"Nothing. Just finishing up some homework!" Rosalie exited out of the internet browser before Edward could see anything. When she turned around, she abruptly ran into a brick wall. She looked up to see Edward looking down at her with a hungry gaze. He was getting too close for her liking.
"What… are you doing?"
"Silly Bella" Edward murmured as his face inched closer towards Rosalie's.
Rosalie stopped his protruding lips with her hand, "I should go get ready for bed."
Edward lowered his head to hide his disappointment, "Alright. I'll be here when you get back".
Rosalie paced the bathroom as she thought of a way to get Edward out of Bella's bedroom. She splashed some cool water on her face to calm herself. Once she finished up in the bathroom, she slowly made her way back to the bedroom. As promised, Edward was waiting for her on the rocking chair across the room.
"Well goodnight!" Rosalie said bluntly as she turned off the light and crawled into bed. The room was silent for a while and she wondered if she had actually been successful in getting rid of Edward. All hope was lost when she felt the bed dip as Edward scooted in beside her. Her body stiffened when she felt him press his firm body against hers.
"Ew, ew, ew, ew…" Rosalie chanted in her head.
"I love you so much, Bella" Edward whispered in her hair, sending an unpleasant shiver down her spine.
"Cold?" Edward asked when he felt Rosalie's body tremble against him.
"F-f-freezing" Rosalie stuttered dramatically, hoping to put some distance between them.
"It is a cold night actually. I'll go sit on the rocking chair".
Edward reluctantly released his arms from around her waist and rose from the bed. He was quite surprised when he received no protest from her.
"She must really be cold" he thought worriedly. He grabbed another blanket from out of the closet and placed it on top of the one already on her. Edward then bent down and placed a soft kiss on her temple. Rosalie shivered once again and Edward quickly removed his lips.
"Sleep tight" he whispered as he took his spot on the rocking chair.
Rosalie childishly wiped away Edward's kiss and buried herself deeper into the blanket. She could feel his eyes boring into her back. There was no way that she was getting any sleep tonight.
It was going to be a long night indeed.
