CHAPTER 5 –MYSTIFYING BROTHERS & GLOOMY BEST FRIENDS
APOV (Alice’s Point of View) {Starting at the mall}
Today was an ordinary day, other than the fact that my idiot of a brother dumped my best friend Bella and I had to keep her from thinking of him. I just don’t get it. Edward likes Bella, so why would he break-up with her? Boys are much too confusing. If you like a girl, you tell her you like her, if you don’t, you say that you’re not interested. How easy is that? But, boys just have to go and make things complicated.
This morning, I had to basically drag Bella to a shopping trip. I was certain that it was the only thing to do that would keep Bella pre-occupied and Edward off her mind.
We got to the mall in my yellow Porsche and wove our way around each store. Rose, Bella and I ended up in Forever 21. I carefully searched the store for outfits for Bella. Then, I made her go into the dressing room and try most of them on. Bella was so childish while trying on the clothes. It was either, “This is too revealing” or “I don’t wear ruffles, Alice” or “These shoes could get me killed”. Couldn’t she just cooperate for once? Her immature attitude had to change. And I was going to make sure of it.
After she tried all of the amazing outfits I picked for her, I went straight to the cash register and bought her half of the clothes.
“Happy Birthday, Bella,” I said, handing her only ten bags. God knows if it really was her birthday, I would give her more than fifteen bags.
She seemed bemused. “It’s not even my birthday!”
I sighed. Leave it to Bella to always be negative.
“So?”
She finally gave in and took the bags.
“I knew you’d see it my way,” I said pleased.
Rose finally spoke up, “And if we don’t you’ll make us see it your way, won’t you Alice?”
I grinned, “Yep.”
Just then, Rose’s stomach rumbled and we all decided to head to the food court. We were laughing and giggling, but suddenly the happiness halted. I looked up to see my son of a (well you know what I’m going to say) brother with his tongue down the throat of the world class slut, Tanya Denali.
I took a quick look at Bella. She was trying to hold her tears in. How could Edward do this? Does he know how much he had made Bella hurt? Did he even care? After sharing a fast glance with Rose, we held Bella and led her to the bathroom.
I heard my dense brother running to us. I handed Bella, who was now crying, to Rose and turned around.
“Edward, you’ve done enough, don’t you think!? Go away and get back to that tramp of a girlfriend!” I yelled, fury clearly seeping through my voice.
After that, Edward just stood there. This made me more irritated. What is going on in that boy’s mind? I gave up and stomped my way to the bathroom. My eyes tightened at what I saw. Bella was kneeling on the bathroom floor, weeping and cursing at Edward.
“Bella, why are you crying over that jerk?”
“I… I… I can’t take it…. I really… liked him,” she gasped between sobs.
“Yes, Bella, but liked is the key word,” Rose said soothingly.
“Ugh! I don’t even know why he’s acting like this,” I said frustrated.
“I hate him!” Bella screamed.
I was in shock. I had never heard Bella yell like that before. But, I couldn’t blame her. If it were me in her shoes, I would’ve slapped Edward in the face by now, more than once.
“We need to get revenge,” Rose stated.
Bella’s head and mine popped up at the exact moment as we stared at Rose.
“We will get revenge,” Bella said, hatred in every single word.
“You’re going to need our help then,” I smiled. I loved giving Bella makeovers and picking out her clothes. At the end, she would look stunning and marvelous.
Bella merely nodded in response. She got up, splashed water over her face, and wiped it. Then she picked up her bags and headed out of the bathroom.
BPOV (Bella’s Point of View)
I walked out of the bathroom, Rose and Alice following me, to find Edward Cullen pacing in front of us. He turned around and smiled when he spotted me. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Does he want to make me cry? What is his problem?
He ran his fingers over his bronze hair and looked at me with fierce intensity. I felt the need to push both of our lips together and kiss him like there was no tomorrow. But of course, I couldn’t.
“Bella,” he started, “I need to talk to you.”
I decided the best thing to do was to ignore him. I twisted around and faced my friends.
“I’ll see you guys at school,” I smiled and waved them off.
After that, I headed towards the exit, aware that Edward was following me. Since I came here in Alice’s car, I didn’t have a ride home. I took out my phone and called a cab company. It would be ten minutes until they would arrive. Wonderful! I was stranded outside, with my enemy wanting to talk with me.
“Bella…” he tried to talk again.
I didn’t even look at him. I pretended that I couldn’t hear anything. After a while, he got the point. He put his hand on my shoulder and I swerved to look at him. I slapped him across his cheek with all the force I could muster up.
“Don’t ever touch me again,” I whispered violently.
I walked away and looked at the sky. A tear almost left my eye, but I forced myself not to cry. I heard a cab coming my way.
“Ms. Bella Swan?” the cab driver asked as I nodded and got into the car.
I told him the address of my house and he started driving.
EPOV (Edward’s Point of View)
What just happened? Bella slapped me, got into a car and went away. Why did she slap me? Why wouldn’t she hear me out?
“I know why. It’s because you broke her heart you idiot!” My heart shouted at me.
I ran to my Volvo and drove to Bella’s house. The cab beat me there. Darting to her door, I rang her doorbell. It was a miracle that she even opened the door.
“Alice, what took you so…” she stopped when she saw it was me. “What do you want?”
“I need to talk to you,” I stated urgently.
“No,” she said in a monotone voice and slammed the door shut.
What? I got rejected by Bella Swan, twice in the same day. But, I really needed to talk to her, to hear her laugh again, to look into those astounding eyes, to feel her lips on mine.
