(22 - Taylor Swift. I figured it was only necessary =] lol)
Bella's POV:
"Why is she still asleep?" I heard someone ask.
"Emmett, we were trapped in a warehouse for hours, and we got a lot of cuts. She sliced her arm open for God's sakes! Let her sleep, shut up before you wake her up!" This voice was much closer, and I pretty much heard the sound vibrating in my ear.
As I became more conscious, I realized I was sleeping on a very warm pillow. Actually, now that I thought about it, it didn't feel like a pillow at all.
No, it definitely wasn't a pillow. Than what? I moved my arm a bit, and felt my hand rubbing against fabric - like cotton. I kept moving my hand and I felt the end of the fabric and then I was touching skin.
"Bella, please don't choke me," the same quiet, calm, yet slightly amused voice murmured, and I realized the skin was Edward's neck. I was laying on his chest, and the fabric was his shirt.
"Sorry," I mumbled, moving my hand away.
"It's okay, Love. Sorry Emmett woke you,"
"Mmmm," I mumbled, too sleepy to say a decipherable response. Before I knew it, I was out again.
-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-
I woke up to a crash and screaming filling the house. I realized Edward wasn't next to me, and I jumped off the bed to see what was going on.
As I approached the top of the staircase, I saw Edward at the bottom looking up at me worriedly. He must not know what's going on.
I ran down the stairs, tripping at the last moment. Edward caught me and then we silently crept into the living-room.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KNEW?" Esme screeched at Rosalie. Rosalie flinched a bit, but held her ground.
"I KNEW MIKE AND JESSICA WERE GOING TO TAKE BELLA AND EDWARD! SIMPLE! WHAT DO YOU NOT GET?!"
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS ROSALIE?!"
"BELLA THINKS SHE CAN JUST COME BACK INTO OUR LIVES AND TAKE EDWARD AWAY FROM MY BEST FRIEND!"
"BELLA WAS YOUR BEST FRIEND!"
"KEY WORD: WAS! JESSICA IS MY BEST FRIEND NOW!"
I felt the tears streaming down my face before I could completely comprehend what was happening. Before I knew it, I was screaming at Rose.
"YOU THREW YOUR BROTHER AND EX-BEST FRIEND AWAY JUST TO GET REVENGE?! HOW SICK AND DEMENTED CAN ONE PERSON BE?!" I roared, storming up to Rosalie. She looked stunned before she fired back to me.
"I CAN BE VERY SICK, BUT NOT AS SICK AS YOU! YOU STOLE A GIRL'S BOYFRIEND!"
"OH BUG OFF, ROSE! YOU AND I BOTH KNOW EDWARD WOULDN'T DATE THAT -"
"FINISH THAT SENTENCE, I DARE YOU!"
"THAT SKUNKBAG! YOU KNOW HE WOULDN'T DATE THAT SKUNKBAG! AND FRANKLY, RIGHT NOW I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHY MY BROTHER IS DATING YOU!"
Rosalie's face whitened, then it turned a strange shade of purple before it turned tomato red.
"YOUR BROTHER IS DATING ME BECAUSE HE'S GOOD AT PICKING GIRLS! HOW MANY UGLY GUYS HAVE YOU PICKED, BELLA? EDWARD'S YOUR FIRST CATCH, ISN'T HE?"
"I HAVEN'T PICKED ANY UGLY GUYS!"
"THAT'S RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T GET ANY!"
"OR MAYBE I JUST KNOW HOW TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME! HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU GOT YOUR FIRST BOYFRIEND, ROSE, HUH? SIX?!" I spat.
Before I knew it, I was on the ground being tackled by a livid Rosalie. I saw everyone standing there, their jaws dropped, stunned to immobility.
Rosalie pulled my hair and punched me in the nose before I tossed her off of me and pinned her down, getting three good slaps and a sucker punch in before Edward finally could move and yanked me off of Rosalie.
Emmett grabbed Rose as Rose was furiously trying to charge at me, and I just collapsed to my knees, crying.
