Important Message to the fellow reader on fanfiction:
Hey there everyone! So, you all are probably mad at me. I am too. I got back on the 24th of June; it was a Sunday from my grade nine trip to Montreal and Quebec City. Then that whole week was getting ready for grad and the grad dance. The only say off i had on that day was the 28th and I hung out with some friends that day because a good friend of mine is going back home for the summer (he's and exchange student). So then Friday came, graduation! I'm officially out of middle school! On Saturday, we had to go to this wedding then on Sunday was Canada Day. Yes people, I live in Canada. ...
Anyways, from then I got grounded from some odd reason, seeing as how I didn't do anything... So I wasn't allowed on the computer for two weeks. Then my parents told me that I was able to go on the computer again. That made my day! What didn't was the fact that I had to go to Piano... Oh, and I had to have 15 pages of Theory done for that lesson. What fun! So here I am now, writing this awful long authors note and keeping you from the story. Most people are probably going to skip this... But if anyone reads this, write a note to me in the review and you will get a special surprise! I'm done with my ranting ... So, I hope you enjoy the second chapter to The pain Within!
The Pain Within
Chapter Two
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beeeeepp. I woke up with a jerk, sweating furiously. What happened? I thought, was it all a dream? I peeled the quilt off of my body and took a quick look down, to see if I was wearing anything; I was. So it was a dream.. I thought, but why?
Slowly, I got out of bed, putting one foot on the ground at a time. I went over to my closet and picked up some clean clothes for today and my toiletries.
I made my way to the door and quietly opened it, trying not to wake up Charlie. I stuck my head out the door and looked in both directions. I couldn't hear anything downstairs and I could hear Charlie sleeping.
Quickly, I made my way to the bathroom. I looked into the mirror and saw a girl, a girl who was torn. She was a inhumanly shade of pale, dark circles underneath her eyes that looked like they were engraved there, small – yet big and full lips, a heart shaped face and a broken smile that couldn't be fixed.
I took my hand away from its place by my side and brought it to the mirror. That girl I saw was me; I was the one who was suffering this life.
Slowly, I start to peel off my clothes and place them on the floor. I turn the shower on and test the water on my arm. Hot – perfect. I get in and let the water run all over my body. I could feel each individual drop of water hitting my scars and bruises and I winced internally.
I run my hands through my hair, trying to get it soaked before I shampoo it. After a minute, I pick up my shampoo bottle; strawberry – my favorite. I slowly lather the shampoo onto my hair and scrub away. As I rinse it out, I see there is a mixture of red with the white foam; finally I realized it was blood. But I haven't been beaten for a few days, did it crust over and stayed the way it was until it was touched?
Who knows? I thought, god this is relaxing. I sigh and begin to wash my body; there is no need for me to shave anymore because my scars and bruises stopped the hair from growing again.
The hot water starts to sputter and slowly runs out. I turn the water off and I put my hand out of the shower curtain to locate my towel. Instead of finding my soft plush white towel, I find someone grabbing my arm.
"Bella," he sighed "why didn't you wait for me this morning?"
I took my free hand and pulled the shower curtain back a bit so I could see who was talking to me – it was Aiden.
"I ... I was supposed to wait for you?" I asked
Aiden pulled the shower curtain back the whole way, exposing my body. He stood up and stood in front of me.
"Of course my love" he whispered "always"
He seemed so innocent, but I knew better; with everything he had put me through, I see right through this façade.
Aiden let go of my arm and picked me up.
"Put me down!" I cried
He raised his eyebrows "you want me to put you down?"
"N..not like that" I stutter
"Exactly" he mumbled
He carried me to my room, while I was still naked. On the way to my room, we 'bumped' into Charlie.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here" he asked
Aiden turned his head towards Charlie and whispered in his ear. I only caught a few words of its; naked, morning, and bad was all I heard. Charlie just chuckled and made his way downstairs.
"Have fun Aiden!" yelled Charlie
Immediately I knew what Aiden was up to. He was going to have his way with me before allowing me to dress.
"Aiden, do we have to do this now?" I plead "I mean, we have to be at the school in 20 minutes, and you know how slow my truck is …"
He sighs and pauses momentarily, "That is true ….."
"So? …" I hinted
"We'll pick up where we stopped after school. OK?" he stressed
I nodded my head quickly. I never thought that Aiden would give up so easily, he is usually so persistent, controlling – who knew why we gave up so easily today.
Carefully, I walked over to him and gave him a hug. "I'm going to get ready now; I'll meet you in the truck in 5 minutes?" I asked
He nodded. I gave him a peck on the cheek and went over to my closet. I picked out a pair of dark skinny jeans, black wife beater with a navy blue hoodie overtop. My hair I did simply, seeing as how it was still wet. I combed it and put it up into a messy bun with my bangs to the side and some random pieces of hair out. I didn't normally wear make-up back then, but once I met Aiden. Make-up became one of my very good friends; it concealed most of the bruises on my face. Quickly and swiftly I applied the foundation and then moved onto the press powder. I then added some clear lip gloss and put on a pair black flats. I took a quick look at myself in the mirror and made my way out of my room.
I walked down the stairs quickly, but with caution. Somehow I managed to trip on the last step and land on my anus. I stood up slowly and rubbed my anus in pain. I make my way to the kitchen and pick up a breakfast bar and my book bag.
I grab my keys and my rain jacket, making sure my wallet is inside the pocket of my jacket. I have to go to Port Angeles after school, but how would I get away without Aiden hurting me? Maybe I'll bring him with me …I thought.
I walked out the front door and locked the deadbolt. Making my way to my truck, I saw that Aiden was leaning against the passenger door. "It's about time" he sighed
I put my head down in embarrassment "sorry" I mumbled
I open the door to my truck and got in; I stuck the keys in the ignition and turned on the radio. The sound of Aerosmith filled my truck. I started to sing along with the radio.
I love to look into your big brown eyes
They talk to me and seem to hypnotize
They say the things nobody dares to say
And I'm not about to let you fly away
My lover with no jet lag
We're staying up all night in my sleeping bag
You got a heart beatin' rhythm from the subterranean
I really love you little girl
I don't need to explain
[Chorus
I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl
Like a double shot of love is so fine
I been lovin' you since you was a child, girl
'Cause you and me is two of a kind
Ah, like deja vu I feel like I've been here
Or somewhere else but you've been always near
It's you that's in my dreams I'm begging for
But I woke up when someone slammed the door
So hard I fell outta bed
Screamin' mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
And the moral of the story I can testify
I get stoned on you girl
That's the best reason why
[Repeat Chorus
A grin came on my face as soon as the song ended. I haven't been genuinely happy in ages.
By the time we reached the school's parking lot, we had a few minutes to spare. I bend down to pick up my book bag and take the keys out of the ignition. I turn around and see that Aiden had already left.
I feel as if someone is watching me – I shake off the feeling and make my way out of my truck. On my way to English, I feel someone following me. Every now and then I would turn around, seeing if anyone was following me – there wasn't. Was I paranoid? I had to be right? Great, I'm questioning my insanity on my way to my first period class; wonderful.
English was really boring, even though English is one of my favorite subjects. Mr. Mason was going on and on about the proper use of grammar. I knew very well what he was talking about and it bored me to tears. I'm his best student; not to brag or anything. I just find everything in English comes so easily to me. It has to be my thirst for knowledge.
The bell rang, bringing me back to reality. Everyone around me was already shuffling and shoving their books into their bags, making their way onto their next class. I quickly stand up and carefully place my books into my bag and make my way out the door.
"Ms. Swan?" asked Mr. Mason
"Yes Mr. Mason?"
"Can I have a word with you? I'll write you a pass for your next class" he bribed
"Uh, sure?" I hesitated
"Well, I don't know if you've heard or not. But we are getting five new students next week …"
"We are?" I interrupted "sorry"
"It's quite alright. Anyways, yes. We are getting five new students. Two of the students will be freshmen while the other three are juniors"
"Ok, what does that have to do with me" I asked
"I was wondering if you would be kind enough to show one of the students around, the freshmen?" he hinted
I let out a sigh "Sure thing Mr. Mason"
He smiled
"Do you mind telling me what the student's name is?"
"Um, right. Well, the student you will be showing around will be Edward Cullen. Someone else will be showing around Alice Cullen – Edward's sister whom is also a freshman. And Emmett Cullen, Jasper Hale and Rosalie Hale will be shown around by other students as well. Any questions?" he smiled
"No sir" I said
"Very well, I shall get you a pass. What class did you say you have right now?"
"Um, government"
"Here you go Ms. Swan and I thank you in advance for helping out Edward Cullen"
I nodded
"Off to your next class then" he waved
I open the door to the class room and see that it's raining. I sigh and put on my rain coat, running to building six for class.
"Ms. Swan, it's nice of you to finally join us. Why were you so late?" hissed Ms. Green (A/N; yeah, yeah, yeah it's not the name of the person who teaches government. But it doesn't say it in Twilight or New Moon. So I hereby dub the government teacher Ms. Green!)
"I was talking to Mr. Mason" I mumbled.
"What is that?"
"Here" I said quietly, shoving the pass – note, whatever you want to call it into her hands. She read it and her face softened.
"Very well Isabella, you are excused. Now if you make your way to your seat please" she waved me off.
I wince at her using my real name. Isabella – it sounds so exotic, cool, unique it doesn't fit me at all. I'm just a plain Jane, plain, boring, short, etcetera.
Government passed by quickly, seeing as how I came in late. I grabbed my things and made my way to Trigonometry. Do I ever hate this subject, and especially the teacher, Mr. Varner. He lives to make my life hell. Even the first day of school, he made me 'introduce' myself to the whole class and me being me, I ended up tripping in front of the whole class.
I walked into the class and made my way to my seat. Sadly, I sat by Jessica. Man that girl can talk. She's the schools gossip. Anything she hears, she dishes back out.
"Bella! Bella!" yelled Jessica "Did you hear?"
"Hear about what Jess?" I sigh
"The new students, the Cullen/Hale family. The ones coming next week!" she grinned
"Yes … I did hear.. why?" I ask
"I heard that they all look extremely hot and one of them is single! I wonder if he'll go out with me. 'Cuz you know, who wouldn't. I know I would if I were a guy ….." Jessica went on.
I just tuned her out and nodded every now and then to make it seem like I was listening. Trigonometry was finally over, I was excited about that. Thankful that I would be able to get away from Jess but the fact that she was in my Spanish class slipped my mind until we got there. "Oh shit" I mumbled
"Huh? What did you say Bella?" asked Jessica
"Oh, um it's nothing Jess, just talking to myself"
"Umm … ok …" she said
Spanish went by without a hitch and it was finally lunch. I walked with Jess to the cafeteria. I made my way to the line up. While waiting to be served, I felt someone put their arm around my waist. I turn around and see that Aiden is there, grinning like a madman.
"Hey babe" he whispered
"Hey" I say back
"What are you doing?" he asked
"Getting food?" I reply
"Um, k. I'll see you at the table babe" he said while walking away
I roll my eyes and continue to wait in line. For lunch I chose a grilled chicken salad with a ham and cheese sandwich and bottle of water. I paid the $6.80 and slowly made my way over to Aiden and the 'crew'. The 'crew' consists of Mike, Tyler, Eric, Lauren, Jessica, Angela, Caleb, Ben, Aiden and I.
I don't know why they want to be known as the crew, they just do. Boys and their stupidity. Anyways, we are known as the invincible ten. Again, I have no idea; guys are just really weird and stupid…..
When I sat down next to Aiden, he placed his hand on my thigh. I wince mentally, seeing as how I have a large bruise there.
"Ew Bella! Why are you eating so much?" Lauren cried
My face grew red "It's not that much …"
"Um, like, it totally is. What are you like trying to do? Get fat? Jeez Bella" sighed Lauren
"Lauren, give it up" muttered Angela
Everyone looks at her in awe, seeing as how she basically told Lauren to shut up
"What did you just say?" sneered Lauren
"I said, 'Lauren, give it up' why do you have to rag on Bella? So what, she wants to eat a grilled chicken salad and a ham and cheese sandwich. Sue her, she's hungry. At least she eats everyday and stays healthy. Unlike some people who'll just starve themselves so they'll look perfect and skinny. No one gives a shit about that Lauren. You should take your own advice and go 'get fat'."
Everyone's jaw dropped at what Angela had just said. I blush crimson and give Angela a huge smile. I mouth a thank you in her direction. She nods her head. It's times like these that I love Angela even more then I usually do. I guess you can say that she's my best friend.
I've told Ang everything, even things that happen with Aiden and I know that she'll never breathe a word about it to anyone. That's the kind and wonderful person she is.
The bell rings signaling the end of lunch. Which pissed Lauren off even more because she didn't get a chance to 'bitch back' at Angela.
"Hey Ang" I whisper in her ear
"Yeah Bell?"
"Don't look now but Lauren is pissed"
"I know" she giggled
"Don't worry, I got gym last period and you know how I am" I hinted
"You wouldn't!" she exclaimed
"You're right. I wouldn't on purpose. But I do hit people accidentally and from what I gather, we're starting volleyball."
Angela lost it and started to laugh out loud. Some seniors walked by at that moment and gave her a weird look. That only caused her to laugh even more.
"Come on Angela, we have to get to Bio or we'll be late" I cried
"I'm coming Bella" she smiled
Ah! Did you guys enjoy that chapter? I left another cliffy in a way. Don't you guys want to know what Bella is accidentally going to do to Lauren? (: And yes, Angela was a bit out of character this chapter, along with Aiden and Bella a bit. Don't worry you guys!
Oh and I do believe I mentioned the Cullen family in this chapter. They are coming sooner than I said they would!
The song that Bella sung in the car is Deuces Are Wild by Aerosmith
Hope you guys review, it makes it that much better for me to see what you guys like about the story and what you don't. You give me ideas, I use them (:
unworthy love; xox
