Chapter 37: Blessed Godly Secrets.
~~~ [START]
A red, rusted truck struggled as it pulled up 20 feet from the party. Bella sighed within it, watching the lights brighten and dim.
The only reason she was parked this far was because Jessica had advised to hide it, saying words along the lines of not having enough money to get a cab when they returned, meaning they would be dependent on her to drop them off.
After a second, or the drain of two, Bella finally dismounted, then closed the door behind her, not even bothering to lock up. The leather jacket she was wearing was too much. It was white, so even in the darkness it seemed to absorb attention. She wasn't even planning to dress for the attire; that was until Jacob borrowed her his own after running into her when he was delivering some cases of beer Charlie asked him to drop off before Bella left.
But the closer she neared, the more frustration lingered. She was an introvert at best, so the sight of so many people crawled under her skin.
Then she nearly stumbled when her eyes caught sight of Eric, who was leaning on his car, kissing Angela, who was seated atop it with her legs crossed around his figure.
At first, Bella's eyes widened in surprise, but later a smile embraced her. It wasn't that long ago when Angela told her Eric asked her out to the dance. So, it only made sense she was into him.
But then, as if the world held unrestricted surprises, her eyes shifted to the second-floor window, where Troy was carrying Honey on his back, carefully climbing from the roof to the ground as she laughed. His movements were swift, and for a moment she swore he floated.
Then another thing came to another when Honey kissed Troy on the neck. And to her amazement, Troy didn't show surprise. He only dismounted her off, then pulled her in for a hug as she leaned upward for another. And much like her, he also went for the neck, shaking his head to cause tickles as she laughed. Then she pushed him apart and sprinted into the building.
A laugh escaped Bella. Did she come to a party or a group date? She asked herself.
But, as if by fate decided, a jeep's engine erupted behind her, and when she turned, the Cullens came into sight.
And her mouth nearly slipped open. But a Volvo followed after it, causing her to straighten.
She was sure Jessica said the Cullens never came to such functions. Jessica even went as far as saying that a single one of them coming held the same equivalence as the existence of Senta.
But there they were, nearing before her sight.
Bella just stared as one by one they made their way to the building, and much like her, she noted how everyone else, from those standing near their cars to the troublemakers mixing tissues with fireworks, halted.
And Edward, the person who glanced toward her a second ago, turned his eyes away and followed after the rest.

{ELSEWHERE}
"His fuckin cheating!" A shirtless drunk teen shouted at Troy, who, unlike him, was able to place a pingball in all the cups, resulting in him having to drink everything.
And everyone laughed around them.
Honey nudged him with a shoulder, whispering. "Stop showing off."
"What?" Troy laughed when he questioned. "I'm not, this guy is just… really bad."
He was right. In fact, Troy was going easy the whole time. He even missed five times on purpose, but the lad was just talentless.
Honey only shook her head with a smile, eyes turning upstairs where Gina was waving a hand, calling her to approach.
Honey nodded. "Don't get drunk."
"I can't."
And she laughed at his reply, perhaps somehow thinking it was a lie.
Troy's eyes didn't even turn upward when she left him for the stairs. In all honesty, his mind was too distracted by what the nose was telling him. He could smell the scent of frozen flesh.
It was weird to say the least, but the lingering perfume he recognised slammed against his nostrils too, giving him a sense of who they were.
And much like he thought, the Cullens walked inside like different creatures, all wearing leather, including Rosalie, whose outfit was a stunning white. He didn't know most of their names, so the closer they approached, he decided to move aside.
Walking at a hasty pace toward the back door, to somewhat control his instincts.
But right as he was about to take a step, a cold hand touched him from the back. And when he turned, the person's short figure forced him to glance downward.
"You look good," Alice said, too close, too comfortable.
Troy, who broke the stun with the shake of his head, smiled. "Yeah, I doubt."
And Alice could only giggle after he said it. But Troy's genuine smile nearly turned cold at Roselie, who was glancing daggers at him. And instead of just a stare, her expression was fumed with disgust.
Then, for the first time ever, Alice stretched out a hand and touched his face, and slowly she turned it back to her.
And the silence began, as if everything around them was rendered nonexistent.
"I brought you something," Alice whispered, voice sounding more like a chant than a statement. "Let's go."
She bit her lips when she said it, moved both hands to his arm, then pulled him toward the back door.
Not knowing that Bella was staring at them from the stairs. She was sure she didn't misread it. It was as clear as day.
Troy was cheating. Or not exactly, since that wasn't what she actually thought. Only God knew what was on her mind.
And sooner or later, we would all find out.
