the big brother house

My mouth dropped open in surprise. Edward and I had each received two votes! Then it all clicked into place. Mike and Eric must have voted for Edward and the Blonde Bitches must have voted for me. At least I was staying another week.

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled up at Edward.

"I think I know who voted for us." Edward whispered in my ear.

"Yeah, I voted for Tanya." I said quietly.

"I was struggling to decide between Tanya and Mike. I chose Mike in the end because he was bothering you."

"Hey! Lovebirds! Over here, I got given a golden envelope!" Jasper shouted to us.

We all gathered round him in the sitting room as he began to read aloud.

"Housemates, this is Big Brother. We have a special task for…*dramatic pause*… Lauren. You will have to cook lunch for everyone. Then Eric will be helping you with the washing up."AWESOME!

"Well that's not exactly difficult is it?" Lauren sneered, "If Isabella can like do it – I like obviously can."

"I'm hungry." Emmett whined.

"You're always hungry." I teased, but got up to make him some cereal. We had all missed breakfast.

When I walked back into the lounge with the cereal in my hand, Emmett attacked me.

"COCO POPS!" He screamed, pouncing on me. I laughed as he snatched the bowl out of my hands. It was empty within one minute. I rolled my eyes and put the bowl beside the sink.

I never expected the reaction I got. It was as if Lauren just…snapped.

"Oh no you don't! Don't you dare leave that there. You're going to, like, make me wash those up aren't you! Why you little…" Lauren broke off and launched herself at me in her anger.

I staggered backwards at the impact and fell over a chair. I felt a hand slap my left cheek and winced at the burning sensation that followed.

Lauren screamed and tore at my hair. It was Edward that recovered from the shock first. He grabbed Lauren around the waist and pulled her off me.

The Pixie was next. She strolled over to Lauren and slapped her. Hard. She shrieked and Edward let her go. It was Rosalie's turn to vent her fury.

"What has she ever done to you? I strongly suggest you SHUT THE HELL UP AND STOP ACTING LIKE A BLOODY BITCH!" Wow. Rose is scary!

That shut Lauren up.

"She deserved it." I heard Tanya mutter as she turned away. I really hoped she was evicted.

"Let's go for a swim." Edward suggested in my ear. I smiled in approval and took Edward's hand subconsciously.

Alice noticed but didn't say anything, for which I was grateful.

In the pool we spent ages just floating. Lying on our backs and floating, occasionally bumping into each other. I could feel my fingers going wrinkly but I was too peaceful and sleepy to move.

I scarcely registered the cry of 'Dive bomb!' coming from the edge of the pool.

My head disappeared under the water before I had time to catch breath. Mike had jumped…straight onto my stomach. I fought the water but I was dragged further down. I could see black spots clouding my vision when suddenly I was pulled upwards towards the surface.

I gulped in the needed air.

"Bella? Bella! Are you okay? Oh Edward you're an idiot of course she's not okay. Bella? Speak to me!" I would have laughed at Edward but I was too busy filling up my lungs.
