Chapter One
As Edward left me in the woods and the strong feeling of heartbreak and dejection were taken over by numbness, the scar on my wrist started itching.
Two Weeks Later
Pain flooded through my wrist, like when James had bitten me, only it wasn;t as bad. When I woke up, the pain was gone. I figured it was just my subconscious allowing me to remember every moment with Edward, including the painful ones.
I went over to my truck and climbed inside. My father had told me to start acting normal and I will. Then I will remember Edward at night. When I arrived to school, the first thing I noticed was Mike making his way to my truck.
Two Days Later
The pain arrived both nights when I went to bed. Every time I went to sleep. And each time it would move little by little up my arm. Each time it would move an inch towards my elbow. Sure, I don't know for sure it was a pattern. I don't even know if my measurements are accurate.
When I'd wake up in the morning, my heart would be racing and my face would be drenched in sweat and tears.
It was the weekend and I was pretty bored. So I decided to take a drive to get out of the house. That was when a saw them. There were two run-down motorcycles for sale right outside Daryl's house.
I grinned and went to the door to purchase them. When I knocked on the door, Daryl answered immediately.
"Oh, hey Bella, what's going on?" he asked smiling.
"Well, I was just looking at those motorcycles and wondering how much you wanted for them?" I said grinning. A look of brief shock crossed Daryl's face before he said, "You really want them?"
I nodded and a grin came across his face, "Take them. I was trying to get rid of them. In fact mom said if they weren't of the lawn by the time she got home, there'd be hell to pay; for my dad and me".
I could feel happiness swelling through me. "Thank you. But are you sure you don't want me to pay?" I asked, just to make sure.
"Yeah, I'm positive. Besides, I couldn't ask anybody to pay for these pieces of junk," he said smiling happily.
So before I knew it, they were loaded in my truck and I was calling dad. When I asked him for the address I needed.
When I knocked on the door, Billy answered. He smiled warmly and said, "Well, hello Bella. You look better then the last time I saw you."
"Thank you, Billy. Is Jacob home?"
"I'm right here, Bella," Jacob said stepping out and pulling me into a huge hug. When he stepped back, I got a good look at him.
He was huge. He looked like one of those body builders on TV.
"Jeez, you do know steroids are illegal don't you?" I said sarcastically. Jacob laughed and said, "Baby, I don't need steroids to get like this".
After a few minutes of talking I lead Jacob out to the truck.
"Look what I got you!" I said revealing the bikes. He laughed and said, "Oh, just what I always wanted. Scrap metal. Oh, Bella! How did you know?"
"Sometimes I just do. No, they're motorcycles. I figured it would be cheaper for you to fix them up for me in exchange for a bit of friendship," I said smiling.
"Sure thing," he said smiling.
I smiled and said, "this is going to be fun".
Alright, this chapters a bit longer then the first. Next chapter Laurent comes into the picture.
