Chapter 20 - Complication

BPOV

Days rolled by and it's Christmas! Edward and I have gone to a couple of dates for the past days and it's amazing. I finished studying for the exams and I've gone to Port Angeles the other day to buy presents. However, afterall this happiness, I'm still worried about Jasper and Alice. Edward told me that all Alice do was eat, lock in her room and sleep while I asked help from Rose and she told me Jasper's gone a mess. Thinking about this, I let out an exasperated sigh. What if... Ugh, What if, what if! Too many what ifs!

I went downstairs where my parents and brother enjoyed watching a movie. Mom and dad were in the couch while Emmett was on the floor with a bowl of popcorn. I sat beside him and realized that the movie shown was Walking Dead. "Wow! Really? In Christmas Day? A zombie movie?" I really hate watching zombie movies, it's getting into my nerve and scares the crap out of me. Well, I don't have any choice so I just endure watching the movie. My brother looked thrilled and kept on stuffing his mouth with popcorn.

Hours passed and it's close to midnight. We've arranged the gifts under the small Christmas tree that we've kept for a long time. It looks old but at least we have one rather than nothing at all. Mom was cooking her delicious lasagna and carbonara while dad went out to buy pizza for our food later on midnight. Seeing that I don't have anything to do, I prefer to make homemade cookies that I've learned from my cooking class last summer. I was preparing the dough and cream when Emmett bugged me into giving him some. 

"Hmm.. Smells tasty.." He took a whiff of the cream.

"You know what, why don't you sit there and watch the TV." I said sweetly.

"Oh no Bells. I want to try." He begged.

He's so childish! Eating the cream?! Yuck! I was annoyed by my brother then I had a very good idea. Why not try it? 

"Em, close your eyes. I'll let you try." I said and took a spoon from the table.

"No cheating okay? Or else no try." I demanded and he nodded.

I got the spoon and dipped it in the cream and smashed it in his face pretty hard. He stumbled back, mom and I bursted out laughing.

"What the?!" He wiped his face using his hand, anger crossing his face.

"Ooopss!" I muttered sheepishly.

Emmett began chasing me and I ran near the table. We were running around the circular table and he looked funny with cream dripping from his face. I was still holding the spoon and I sprinkled him with the leftover creams on my spoon. We heard the front door open with Charlie holding a box of pizza. He stared at us with perplexed expression while mom was busy cooking but holding her laughter. We continued running and I grew tired so I went to dad telling him to stop Emmett. 

"What the hell was going on?" Dad asked.

"The kids were having fun and... it's a long story Charlie." Mom said laughing.

"Oh well, stop it. Emmett, clean the mess." Dad commanded.

"But..." 

"No buts Emmett. Clean it or else your grounded." Dad said and I chuckled.

"And you, go to the kitchen." He said and I looked at him embarassed.

I finished with the cookies and Emmett grumbled about it's my fault why dad let him clean all the mess. I stopped by at his side and whispered, "Ooh. Good boy!" He looked grumpy and I raised my hands in surrender then went upstairs. I took a bath again, because of my jerk brother who gave me cream on my hair and shirt. I changed into my fresh clothes and the clock ticked, 9:00 pm. I grabbed my phone and dialed Edward's number.
