How was I supposed to believe that I was safe when I knew that around every corner, something bad was waiting for me. I didn't have anyone to save me from my faults. I thought Edward would come back after he left me in the woods that night. But he didn't. And I had to accept that. I had to accept that he didn't love me anymore. And that he wanted nothing to do with me.
"Bella!" Charlie called from downstairs. "You have a call."
I didn't know who would want to call me. I didn't have any friends. I went downstairs to pick the phone up anyways.
"Hello," I said through the phone.
"Hi Bella! It's Jacob. I just wanted to see how you are doing. You know, after the whole woods thing." He was always too cheerful. Sometimes it was cute. Most times I couldn't stand it. This is one of those times. I didn't feel like talking to anyone right now, especially after Jacob mentioned the night when Edward left me.
"Hi Jacob…" The silence was uncomfortable. It felt like all of my words had left my mouth and I had nothing left to say.
"So…..I was wondering, if you wanted to go see a movie tomorrow?" He asked. His question surprised me. I hadn't thought he wanted to hang out with me, let alone go to a movie with me.
"Umm, sure Jacob. What movie?"
"I was thinking Planet Zombie. It has pretty good ratings, but I don't know if that's what you would like to see."
"Yeah, that sounds great! What time?" I wondered if this was turning into a date.
"7:00 PM is good," he said. I could practically hear him smiling.
"Yeah. See you then. Bye Jacob."
"Umm, yeah bye Bella." He sounded cute over the phone.
"Bells, who was that?" Charlie asked me from the living room. The TV was on too loud, I could barely hear him.
"Just a friend, Dad. Hey I'm going to be gone tomorrow. Going to a movie," I told him.
I heard him mumble something to himself. It sounded like "She is finally getting out of the house." He is right though. I have been dwelling like a caveman inside my room for a long I didn't have anyone to keep me company.
