The Unthinkable – Thought
Chapter 1
I awoke to my alarm buzzing beside my ear, and I quickly slammed it off. It was Monday morning, and I had stayed up much too late the night before with Edward. I slowly slumped out of my bed, my eyes seeming to never adjust to the bright light shining through the window. It was a surprisingly bright day outside for Forks. I slipped into my clothes quickly, brushed my hair and put on some light makeup. When I got downstairs, Charlie was already awake.
"Hey, Dad." I said groggily, pouring myself a steaming hot cup of coffee. I sat down beside him, peering at what he was looking at. Some random news article in the newspaper.
"Hey, Belle's." He said softly, taking a bite of his toast. I smiled, glancing around the kitchen. I had better get going; Edward wanted me to be early for once.
"I'm out of here, then." I said, grabbing my backpack sitting beside the front door. Charlie waved at me, and then glued his eyes back on the newspaper. I grinned at his concentration, and then stepped out into the cool, fresh morning.
On the way to school, I was half asleep, I swear. I had to turn up the radio a bit louder to make sure I didn't fall asleep. There was hardly any reception, as usual. I sighed, and looked out the window. I nearly slammed on my breaks and flew through the front windshield. There seemed to have been some bright red, waving thing in the air, deep in the forest. I gulped, and continued driving down the road. It must have been a… a dear. I thought, readjusting my hands on the steering wheel. I was also terribly tired, and I was sure that had contributed to the sight. The only thing was, was that I got this horrible feeling in my gut when I saw it. Like it was something that I should know what it was, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
When I arrived at the school, I was still a bit shaken up. I knew I probably shouldn't be so worried over a random red thing flying in the forest, but it had really gotten the hairs on my neck to rise up. I hurried over to Edward and Alice, smiling shyly.
"Hello Alice." I said, smiling at her. I felt a lot safer with them around.
"Hey, Edward." I said, squinting my eyes as I looked up at him. The sun was really quite bright. It was really strange. Alice said hi back normally, but there seemed to be a bit of tense in Edwards's voice. I didn't think anything of it though, because Edward always seemed to have some off-days. Didn't we all? The bell rang, signalling the beginning of the day. Edward quickly began to walk to the school and Alice and I practically had to run to catch up. This did not seem like such the great day.
Edward had offered to drive me home in my truck that night, and I didn't bother to deny. I was feeling really exhausted from the day, and I felt like going home and watching a movie. As we drove through the road closed in by trees, and I turned to look out the window.
"Your acting sort of odd today, Edward." I said smoothly. It wasn't that abnormal, I kept reminding myself. Edward was a boy with many thoughts, I joked with myself. I admit, was trying to calm myself down.
"Bella, nothing is wrong." He said sternly, keeping his eyes on the windshield in front of him. I sighed, and looked into the forest. All of a sudden, I saw the red thing again, yet this time it was much closer to the road.
"Oh my God!" I nearly screamed, clutching my chest.
Edward slammed on the breaks.
"What is it, Bella?" He asked, looking around.
I tripped on my words.
"N-n-nothing! Just keep driving. Go!" I said impatiently, looking around horrified. He shook his head, and continued driving.
"I knew she was back." He said, gripping the steering wheel so tightly his veins we're nearly popping out of his hand.
"Who!" I sputtered.
"Victoria." He said. I winced at the name.
"But… but…" I didn't know what to say.
"Although, this time. This time, she isn't just interested in you." He said.
It is sort of short. I want to see you what you guys think of it so far. It is my first, and I want to make sure I'm getting the hang of it. Review please! Oh, and if you haven't read New Moon yet, do! It is really, really good. I can not wait until Eclipse comes out!
