Last Chapter...

I couldn't believe Emmett just asked me out. I can't believe my best friend just pimped me out to her brother.

Chapter Nine – The Test

Bella POV

Alice declined Emmett's invitation for more video games telling him we were going out this afternoon to go shopping. Emmett flashed me a charming dimpled smile as Alice dragged me upstairs, as soon as we reached her room I turned to her.

"Alice, what the hell was that?" I whisper yelled, I wish I was just plain out yelling but I didn't want Emmett to hear.

Alice just shrugged going about innocently. "You needed a date so I got you a date."

"Yeah by trapping your brother into on with me!"

Alice laughed. "He wasn't trapped he wanted to..."

"Whatever!" I huffed and sat on her bed, she frowned and sat besides me.

"Sorry for going a little overboard..."

I sighed. "It's ok... I did need a date but … it's not that. I mean since I been here I been acting like a chicken with my head cut off. I'm confused... one minute I'm crying over Jacob next I'm waking up next to your brother in bed. I feel like a slut."

"Oh please Bella your not a slut! You said you fell asleep on accident and you couldn't be anything but friends with Jacob... I know what I said at the bonfire-"

I interrupted, "You were right about that..."

"Well... maybe it's for the best Jacob has a girlfriend so you don't get anymore confused or get in deep with him."

"I don't know Alice. I feel more confused and in deeper then I felt before."

"That's because his relationship is new. Just give it time... besides. What if you could be my sister in law..." She bounced on the bed.

I punched her softly on the arm. "Like I said fat chance of that ever happening. No. Never. Changing the subject. Hmm... we never got around to talking about it but Jasper Hale... really Alice?"

Alice blushed. "It just sort of happened and … I think I really like him. He is the only one that actually looks at me even with Emmett staring down at him. I mean he did see me naked but..."

"Naked? Alice!"

Alice laughed nervously. "It was a mistake honestly!"

"Well just watch out for that one." I warned her.

"I know Bella. Sooooo lets go shopping for the festival now!"

We got ready and drove to downtown Seattle.

Everyone's POV

Alice pulled out a white summer dress. "Oh my gosh Bella this would look so hot on you with your tan, Emmett would love it!" Bella looked at the dress it was pretty nice.

"I guess I'll try it on..." Bella said going to the dressing room. It turned out Alice was right. It fit all her curves in the right place.

"Come out Bella. Let me see," Alice said impatiently.

"This dress is absolutely-" Bella started but stopped when she saw another girl step out her dressing room. Rosalie Hale.

"Gorgeous, oh my gosh!" Alice finished and turned to look where Bella was looking. Rosalie Hale was wearing the same dress as Bella except instead of looking like a carefree summer beauty due to Rose's height it looked like a skimpy short slutty dress. Behind her was Irina and both were glaring at Bella and Alice.

"Gorgeous? Who can it look gorgeous on a fat cow?" Rosalie laughed and Irina laughed with her like a hyena, causing both Alice and Bella to wince, look at each other and laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Irina snapped.

Alice stopped laughing looking absolutely serious. "For one Bella here has a drop dead body. Just because she doesn't look like a pair of anorexic whores like you doesn't make her a cow. Secondly your hyena like laugh was just to much for us to handle." This caused Bella to laugh even harder hold her side.

"God Alice, woo. I needed that one today," Bella said between laughs.

"Watch what your saying Alice you are dating my brother." Rosalie smirked. "I can put a real stop to that very quickly.

This time Bella stopped laughing and the tension in the room grow very quickly. "You better watch what you say Rosalie before I beat the shit out of you very quickly," Bella growled walking towards Rosalie who took a step back but Alice put her arm in front of her stopping her.

"She isn't worth it Bella." Alice said stiffly and threw a fake smile at Rosalie.

"Excuse me ladies is there a problem here?" A store worker asked.

"No problem here." They all said not turning to look at the worker as we stared down each other.

The store worker nodded and slowly walked away.

Rosalie turned her nose up into the air, spun her heel and went back into her dressing room with Irina in tow.

Irina talked over her shoulder. "Bitch."

Rosalie said something along the lines of, "I'm not shopping where those cows shop."

Bella smiled sweetly, waving them off."Better a bitch then one dollar whores."

"I can't believe those two tramps!" Alice stomped off going into Bella's dressing room. "If this wasn't one of my favorite stores we would have kicked their asses! Did you see Rosalie's face? HAHA She was scared of you!"

Bella pulled the dress over her head as Alice continued to rant. "Ugh. Let's hope they didn't try anything else on because we probably catch an STD ." They laughed and began put everything back on the hangers.

"So … what is the deal between Rosalie and Emmett?" Bella tried to ask causally about it.

Alice smirked. "Why you want to know Bella? Thinking about getting serious with my brother?"

"What? Alice! Serious?" Bella huffed.

"You didn't say no. Oh my gosh!" Alice almost screamed. "You like him don't you?"

Bella put on her shirt and pants thinking of what to say. "Honestly Alice. I'm not going to lie. Whatever they put into the waters of Forks and La Push is making all the men around hottie-hot-hotties. What the hell ! Its like model party central or some crap, your brother is hot I'm not going to lie."

Alice crinkled her nose at the last part but she looked happy overall and went off in dreamland.

Bella waved her hand in front of Alice's face. "Alice... hello? Alice..."

Alice finally blinked. "Sorry Bella I was just dreaming up your wedding."

"Are you trying to scare me away from Emmett?" Bella chuckled nervously and they left after paying for the dress.

As they walked out to the exit of the mall after hours of a shopping for accessories and just browsing Bella couldn't believe her eyes.

"Oh my god..."

Alice eyes got big also. "Is that... Edward and …."

They both said together. "Rosalie."

Yes indeed it was. They was making out in a photobooth but if they didn't notice those photobooth had a tv screen on the outside showing what people were doing on the inside.

"Thats disgusting!" Alice screeched causing a little girl to look over and giggle at the screen, her mom pulled her away with disapproval all over her face.

Edward and Rosalie pulled apart on the screen and Bella yanked Alice's arm pulling her into the nearest store.

"Shhhhhhhhhh..." Bella hissed and they watched from the store window as Edward exited the photobooth first and a few minutes later Rosalie left.

"Oh my god what the fuck was that. Ew." Alice shivered. "I feel like I caught something just seeing that."

Bella laughed. "Isn't Edward and Tanya a thing?"

"Yeah. Tanya and Rosalie are best friends since they were in diapers." Alice said thoughtfully and a wicked grin came on her face. "Now they will never get back together..."

"Who?"

"Rosalie and Emm-" Alice stopped herself.

"Alice just tell me no secrets!"

Alice sighed. "Let's just go to the car... I'll explain everything there."

Bella practically ran to the car wanting to find out. Alice let out a smile.

"Eager, aint you?"

"Alice just tell me!" They both settled in their seat.

"Rosalie and Emmett have a …. horrible relationship. No easy way to say this... um.. they break up the last day of school and get together again the first day. They do it every year."

"What? Your only telling me this now! Alice your suppose to be my friend... my bestfriend! I trusted you," Bella yelled with a hurt look in her eyes as she got out her cellphone to get a ride home.

"Please... please Bella you have to understand. I really think you and Emmett are good together!" Alice panicked.

"Fuck that! I don't care Alice I am not a toy to be played with I thought I was your bestfriend. Your suppose to look out for me not set me up to be a summer fling!" She screamed. "What the hell is wrong with you!"

Alice eyes started to tear up. "I'm so sorry... I thought I was helping..."

Bella stopped yelling profanities and took a deep breath to calm down as Alice kept saying she was sorry.

"I just feel it in my heart... I wanted you to be with a good person..."

"Alice that isn't for you to decide." Bella said stiffly and sighed hugging Alice. What the hell am I going to do now."

"Forgive me?"

Bella chuckled. "You know I will always forgive you... seriously what were you thinking..."

"I don't know. I wanted you to be my sister..." Alice mumbled.

Bella looked her directly in the eyes. "Rather I date your brother or not you will always be my sister. We were sisters before that bonehead came along."

Alice giggled.

"So stop scheming without me and do it with me... because your going to get me out this date I am not going to be a summer fling."

"Well... I mean don't you like Emmett? You guys have so much in common... just because I set it up doesn't mean you guys can't work out..." Bella gave her a look for her to back off. "Just think about it." Alice rushed the last sentence with her arms up in a surrender.

Bella folded her arms unhappily as they drove home in silence and think was all Bella did.

They arrived to the front of the house and Alice looked over at Bella who had a look on her face... one that meant trouble, she was about to get out of the car when Bella grabbed her hand to stop her.

"I did think about it... just because I am going to give him a shot doesn't mean your right. The soulmate test. I am going to make him work for it if he wants to be with me."

Alice mouth opened in an O, knowing what she was going to do. In the 8th grade they made a soulmate test. The test was pretty much love them, leave them and make them suffer if they stay he is the one... if they don't... well screw them. It was an impossible test, made from ideas from reading romance novels. After a year they called it the fat chance test, as in big fat chance in ever finding the man that would put up with the crap. Alice and Bella probably dated most of the guys in that school leaving heartbreak in their wake.

"Isn't that a little... harsh?"

Bella frowned. "Nope." With a pop of the p. "You can't say a thing to him either."

Alice nodded thinking, 'Crap what did she get herself into.'.
