Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight the story or the characters.
This part of the story is taken from the book New Moon which is the second in the twilight series. However things are slightly different. Bella hears Edwards voice when in danger like in the book but The Cullens never left only Edward went away. Bella is in love with Jacob but more than anything she is scared of him. This part of the chapter is taken four months after Edward left. Victoria is after Bella. Laurent doesn't die yet and unbeknown to Bella the rest of the Cullens are watching her still trying to do the hard task of keeping her safe. Alice hasn't been at school for four months but she doesn't want to stay away any longer...she wants Bella back as a friend.
Chapter One: Biology
B.P.O.V
"Bella? Bella? Wake up!" Charlie's voice was loud and desperate in my ear.
"Urgh" I groaned as his hands grabbed my shoulders and flipped me over to face him.
"Will you answer me when I call you please?"
"Why?"
"Because when you don't answer me..." I looked into his eyes; they were filled with sadness"...I worry about you" He sat on the edge of my bed looking uncomfortable. "Bells your going to be late for school"
"I don't care" It was true school was awful since Ed...Since HE left. Everyday everyone would ask me where he was and I couldn't say, I couldn't bring back the memory of him leaving. "I hate school"
Charlie's eyes watered more "Bells it won't be like this forever, things'll die down in a month or so"
"A month? It's already been four" I scoffed "What am I sposed to do for another month?"
"Practice not injuring yourself" He smiled a weak smile. "You need to move on Bells, please try"
My eyes filled with tears "But I miss him dad"
He pulled me into a hug "I know Bells, I know"
He left the room then and I pulled myself out of bed. I didn't want to get over him, I loved Edward and he loved me, didn't he?
I dressed quickly and climbed into my truck, heaving a sigh when the engine roared to life. The first time I had used my truck after he left, the engine had scared me. I was used to his car, his quiet engine and his outrageous driving. I was not only used to it, I was part of it. At this thought I had to force back the tears as I spotted Jessica waiting for me at the Cafeteria. I parked, Climbed out and walked to meet her. A fake smile on my face.
"Hiya Bella, oh..." She said noticing instantly Edwards absence. "Is Edward still away then?
"Yes" I breathed
"Hmm well have you spoken to him?"
"Yes" I lied quickly "He rang me last night" I could tell by her expression that she didn't believe me. I was a bad liar.
"Oh, ok well that's cool I guess so are you coming to La Push with us this weekend?"
"Um... well" What could I say? 'Sorry but Edward left me so I don't want to be around people right now?' I couldn't say that and I knew it. "Yeah ok then"
"Good. Come on Mikes waiting for us" she linked my arm and pulled me along; I followed keeping my eyes on the floor the whole time. I was always so paranoid when I walked through the corridors it was like every one knew and they stared. Mike was waiting for us outside the gym. He smiled when he spotted us, walked towards us and hugged Jessica.
"Morning Bella" He turned to me when they broke away "No Edward?"
"Nope just little old me" My voice shook threateningly as I said this and I passed it off as a cough.
Mike looked at me intensely for a minute and then changed the subject "So Bella did Jess ask you? Are you up for La Push on Saturday?"
"Yes she is" Jessica replied icily calling his attention back to her "I DID ask her, I didn't forget like you obviously thought I would" And with that she stomped off. Mike made to go after her but I grabbed his arm.
"Let her cool down ok" My voice was strong
"Yes" He answered though it hadn't been a question. "Come on we're going to be late for English"
English passed in a blur as Mike continued on and on about Jess's mood swings but I didn't care, we had gym next and I dreaded it as always except now it was worse because Edward wasn't there to meet me afterwards. Gym passed almost as quickly as fats as English. We were playing Badminton and I hated it. Eventually after I'd hit myself in the head with the racket. Twice. I sat out. I could tell Mike was secretly pleased with this, I was too, I had already accidentally launched my racket across the room. I ran and hugged him when I realised it had collided with his head, whispering my apologies.
At lunch I wandered to the cafeteria with Jessica and Mike (who had made up). I walked in front I couldn't help but feel jealous, however when we reached the entrance Jessica took the lead, promising to buy me lunch. When we joined the line I glanced round at the Cullen table, I did it out of habit; even though I knew they'd left I couldn't help it. My heart sank when I realised that someone was sat there. Her pixie like face was beautiful compared to the dirty room. Her Brown hair sticking out in all directions. "Alice" I whispered. I didn't say it loud enough for her to hear but I knew she did, her head raised slightly and I caught sight of her eyes. If vampires could cry I knew she would be. "Bella" I saw her mouth whisper the words. Tears and pain overwhelmed me and I ran from the room, her face swam in and out of my head as I ran. I was hoping in a way that she would follow but she didn't and I knew then that she was hurting too. She may not have followed but Jessica did, I could hear her calling my name as we ran but I didn't stop. When I reached the car park the rain drenched me instantly, I reached my truck and jumped in. I should have driven away that instant but I couldn't move, my chest and stomach hurt, tears covering my face as the depression overwhelmed me. I bent forward, my arms wrapped around my stomach. I didn't see or hear the door but I looked over to the seat to see a folded piece of paper. I didn't want to read it. Not yet anyway so I snatched it up and put it into my pocket, Jessica Climbed into my truck then and pulled me into a hug. I was still sobbing hysterically "Bella?" Her voice was barely a whisper.
"Please tell me what's wrong" tears were in her eyes too. "Please Bella"
I couldn't hide it anymore so I told her everything (except the whole vampire bit) about how he'd left and they had gone too and how he no longer loved me.
"He left me Jess" I was still sobbing hysterically "he can't love me"
"He does Bella" she sounded so certain "Why didn't you tell me?" Now her voice was lined with pain.
"I-i-I didn't want you to see me like this" I stammered
"And that worked well didn't it" She said sarcastically and I smiled a weak smile. Suddenly I stopped crying.
"Feeling better?" She asked wary of my reaction.
"Actually...yes" I wasn't lying.
"Well we've missed Trig but I'll walk you to Biology if you're ready?" she looked at me inquiringly. I nodded and we both climbed out of the truck, the rain still pounding the pavement. When we reached Biology Jessica left me to go to her lesson. I hung up my jacket and went to sit at my table. The lesson had just started when there was a loud knock on the door. "come in" the teachers voice rang out.
I heard her voice before I saw her "Excuse me sir but I need to borrow Bella Swan." She walked gracefully into the room.
"Why?" The teacher stared up into the piercing eyes of Alice Cullen
"She has a doctor's appointment" She handed him a slip of paper.
"No I don't" It was meant to be a whisper but it was loud, the class stared at me in silence.
"Yes you do Bella it says right here" She handed the paper to me I stared at it. It was indeed a doctor's note excusing me from class, signed by Carlisle. Of course rope the good old doctor in to help kidnap me just so we can talk.
"Ok then off you go Bella" The teacher hinted to me
I gathered my bags and followed Alice out of the room. She led me out to the car park and towards the silver Volvo that I adored so much.
Well that's the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed reading it, I haven't posted the second chapter (The Cullens House) yet. I will post it soon. Reviews will help. Thank you
