Canteen Fight

EPOV

Have you ever wondered when the right girl would come along? I have, every day I think about her. Every night I dream about her, wondering if she thinks about me too, or even if she knows me. I've thought about us together in the future, if there is even a future for us. My family tell me that I'm crazy thinking about her in that way; they tell me that if I even look at her I'll cop it from her brother. But I don't care, nothing, not even her brother is going to get in the way of my love for her. But it did. I tried something stupid, idiotic that I regretted. By family didn't even have to say 'I told you so' because I knew that I should have listened to them…

"Come on Edward; let's just go outside for lunch. Forget about her, she already has eyes for Mike Newton." I heard my sister, Alice, saying behind me. But I ignored her and continued walking towards the canteen area. "Edward listen to us, you're going to get yourself hurt." Rosalie's voice suddenly appeared from behind me. She sounded worried, and it made me turn around to look at her. But to my surprise Emmett and Jasper were standing behind me too. It made me angry, furious. I clenched my fists together and Alice, noticing, took them in her hands and pulled me towards her. "Edward, please. I had to call them; I didn't know what else to do. You're too strong for me to handle and –" I held up my hand to her face and pulled my hands free. "Alice, I won't get hurt. I promise, I know what I'm doing." Emmett frowned and folded his arms. "Really Edward, so what are you going to do if Jacob shows up, huh? Do you plan to fight him for Bella? I don't think so, he'll crush you." I frowned, but then relaxed. He was right; I hadn't thought this through very well. I looked up and every one of my family's faces was filled with both worry and concern. "I'm doing it anyway," I said. I turned around so quickly and ran through the canteen doors that it didn't leave enough time for my family to react.

There were tables everywhere in the canteen. They were filled with chattering girls and staring boys. But I knew which table Bella would be at, and stormed right over there. Bella was sitting with her friends Jessica, Angela and her boyfriend Ben, and offcourse sitting next to her, whispering in Bella's ear, was Mike Newton. I felt my veins burst when Mike's lips started going down her neck. I marched over there, my face red with fury and every eye at the table looked up at me. Mike pulled away from Bella and stared at me with a slight frown on his face. "Can we help you Edward?" he said. Bella giggled and I looked down to see Mike's hand rubbing up her dress. My body reacted so fast that I didn't have time to think. I grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her up off the seat. Mike, who was leaning on her, fell forward.

I laughed then felt a sharp tug; Bella snapped her hand away from me. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" she barked. Mike stood up and pulled Bella a step away from me by her shoulders. There was a slight movement as Jessica, Angela and Ben stood up from their seats. I was in trouble now, Jacob was sure going to see this and come running. I didn't know what to do, I wanted so much to take Bella and go somewhere private, but Mike's stupid's hands were all over her. "Get your filthy hands off of her Mike," I yelled. Fury was bursting through me and I needed to punch someone. "Excuse me?" said Mike. "I'm allowed to put my hands wherever I like, if she allows me." I watched as his left hand began pulling her dress up and his lips went back to her neck again. Bella looked at the ground then up at me with a smirk on her face. "Bella please, listen to me. Mike isn't right for you," I began. Bella frowned and pulled Mike's hand away, that was rubbing on her thy. "Okay, so who is right for me, Edward? You, I don't think so." Bella laughed and her friends laughed with her, all except Mike whose lips where still on her neck.

My blood was boiling now and my hand twitched toward Mike. He peered up at me, grinning with his eyes. His lips went down to Bella's neck line; he pulled her collar back and began kissing her shoulders, his eyes never leaving mine. That was it, my blood burst and I swan my hand towards Mike's face. I could hear someone shout my name, but it vanished and something large and warm held my hand. I looked up and there stood Jacob, his eyes small and teeth bearing into a snarl. I looked past him and Bella was up against the wall Angela and Jessica near her trying to calm her down. Mike was lying on the floor, rubbing his head, while Ben tried to help him to his feet. What just happened? It felt like hours had past. "Hello Edward." I stared back at Jacob's face, his long dark hair flowing down his chest. I frowned and pulled my hand out of his. "Jacob." I nodded. Bella shoved Angela and Jessica out of the way and stood next to her brother. She looked so tiny and fragile next to him. "Edward, what's the matter with you?" she said. I stared into her bright coloured eyes. "Bella…I…I" I couldn't find the words and Jacob folded his arms. "Get out of here Edward," he growled. I frowned up at him. "No, not until I get what I came for." Jacob's eyes opened wider with interest. "And what would that be, Edward? A blood nose, because I can give you one if you like?" Bella looked up at her brother and placed her small hand on his folded arms. "No, Jacob." She looked back at me. "What did you come for Edward?" she asked, harshly. "You… Bella," I said staring at the floor. She gasped and Jacob snarled. "I love you Bella, and nothing will ever get in the way of that." I looked at Jacob, he was fuming and Bella looked at the ground. His face was full of anger and I wondered what he was going to say. But he didn't say anything. Instead I felt this gush of pain across my face and high screams flooded my ears as I flew across the floor. Alice, Rosalie, Japer and Emmett came running through the canteen doors and I heard Alice's shriek when she saw me, lying on the floor face covered in blood. Everyone was watching from their tables and some had formed a crowd around us. "What did you do?" Emmett's loud voice carried around the room. Jacob grinned. "Edward, I'm so sorry." I heard Bella's sweet voice come closer. Her soft hand pressed against the top of my head then left. "Don't Bella," said Alice. "Don't you, or your family come near Edward ever again, do you hear me?" Bella's low gasp rang through my ears, what was Alice doing. I tried to sit up, the room was dizzy and I got a glimpse of Jacob's large body before I fell back down again. My head fell into something soft, Alice's lap. "Emmett, take him to the nurse" Alice said. The next thing I new I was flung into the air and carried out of the canteen area. Bella's loud sobs were the last thing I heard before we turned the corner.
