Chapter 2:
One Month later
Normal POV
Bella woke up from the sound of her ringing alarm clock. It was an annoying and irritating sound that bothered her ears and she quickly turned it off. She glanced out at the window and it was already pouring. It was always depressing in Forks. She yawned and stretched out her body, not really crazy about the idea of waking up. She did her usual routine, showering and brushing her teeth. She pulled on her red sweater and walked down to the kitchen where she saw an empty plate and a cereal box waiting for her. Charlie must have laid it out for her but she simply let out a small sigh and placed the bowl and cereal away. No breakfast again today. Before walking out she placed her hood over her head and made an attempt at covering herself from the rain. Her old truck always awaiting her return. She slipped inside and the engine roared alive as she twisted the key in and drove off to the one place she didn't want to be in right now. By the time she arrived there the bell had already rung and she had to run to her first period class, the teacher always fuming at her lateness. She sat through every class because she had to but inside she was screaming. The morning seemed like a never ending hell until lunch a gift from heaving opened in the sky. Everyone ran out as the bell rang but she sticked to herself not wanting to run anywhere. She knew about the stares she'd probably get when people saw her alone and broken. There was no way in hell her romance with Edward would last, he was too perfect and she was every mistake in the rule book. Up to this point she didn't even care if they made fun of her. She walked through the back doors of the school and ignored the group of friends she used to hang out with. They weren't people she wanted to be around at the moment. She heard loud laughter and spotted a small group sitting on the bench, goofing off and just a plain good time. She thought about walking to them, they were known to cause a riot and make endless trouble. She over. When she felt welcomed by the group.
"Hey guys" she greeted as they glanced up and looked back and forth at each other baffled by this rare scene. A smile crossed their lips and the leader of the group was the one to speak. She smiled. What the hell am I doing? I'm ignoring my real friends for these guys? Whatever, I just don't care anymore... I just need to forget and they're my ticket to that escape.
"Bella strange seeing you here… finally accepted my invitation to come to the races?" he asked.
"Sure, I've given thought to it. When and where I'll be there" she replied. He laughed and smiled.
"Stop making it sound like a war. It's at 8p.m. at the same place we always meet up at, you know. It shouldn't be a secret we're well known." He teased as Bella nodded.
"Do…Do you have anything to drink?" she asked as he smiled.
"quick, quick, huh? No not here, teachers are always poking their heads around you should know that" he replied as she let out a nervous laugh.
"Oh I forgot about that, you're right" she answered embarrassed by her stupidity. The guy simply laughed and sighed.
"relax will ya" Anyhow the bell rang so catch you tonight" he said as stood and his group trailed along behind him. She couldn't believe what she was doing but whatever at least acting stupid would take her mind off tings. The rest of the day really just flew by quickly. She went inside already seeing Charlie's car outside, she smiled knowing her father would ask her if she was doing alright. It became a daily routine for her.
"Hey dad" Bella said as she walked in and took off her coat and put the keys on the hook. Bella walked into the living room seeing her father sitting on his couch and watching TV as usual.
"Hey Bells how was your day at school?" he asked now looking at Bella. She shrugged and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"Dad some friends have invited me to go out can I go" Bella asked her dad while she put the plates on the table.
"Sure thing Bells, but is Jacob going with you?" Charlie asked her.
"Actually he has things to do so he can't come" Bella said.
"Is he having another one of his boy's night with his friends" he asked Bella.
"Yeah" Bella said. Not! Ever since he became a fucking werewolf he goes on his stupid little search party and it drives me crazy that he doesn't even want to talk to me anymore. Bella thought sadly. She quickly ate her food and washed the dishes. Bella went to her room and finished her homework. The whole evening went by quickly and it was already 8 and Bella grabbed her stuff and walked to her truck. She drove up a hill and parked her car. She saw a big crowd already formed and she walked up to the crowd of people at the top of the hill.
"Yo Bella over here!" one guy called her over. Bella smiled and walked over to him. She gave him a hug and started chatting away until they heard someone talking into a microphone.
"So do you have anything to drink cuz I'm thirsty" Bella asked at the guy. He handed her a drink in a glass bottle.
"No, I mean do you have anything stronger than a beer" Bella said slightly annoyed.
"Yeah, I have this strong vodka but it's in a water bottle okay" the guy said. Bella nodded and the guy took out the vodka and gave it to Bella. She gulped down the alcohol greedily. She felt the burning sensation as the liquid went down her throat. Bella hated the taste of alcohol but it always helped her forget and feel numb. A loud noise was heard and Bella knew the races would be starting soon so she starting walking. The guy followed behind her.
"Do you wanna race tonight?" the guy asked her. Bella nodded.
"Yeah, but I will need a car" Bella said nonchalantly. The guy smiled and gave her a set of keys. Bella smiled.
"Racers ready" a voice over the microphone yelled. A lot of "yeah's" were being yelled. Bella walked to the car. Bella climbed into the car and started it. A gun shot went off signaling the races to start. Bella drove fast while two other cars were behind her. She was driving so fast, but she saw a glimpse of red flaming hair she gasped. Bella tried to not crash but she ended up smashing the car into a tree hitting her head on the steering wheel so hard that her head was bleeding. Another car drove out of control crashing into Bella on the other side. Everything happened so fast.
Three months later:
Bella's POV
I fluttered my eyes open and looked around my surroundings. I was in a white room and connected to a machine. What happened? why am in the hospital?. I tried to rememberbut the only I remember was my name. Isabella Marie but that was it I don't remember my last name. But I like being called Bella. But that was it oh and I'm eighteen years old. I panicked and looked around for anything and spotted clothes at the chair near the wall next to the door. I got up and but sat back down and noticed I was hooked to the IV machine. I quickly yanked them off and changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and put on sneakers with small socks. I ran out of the room and the hospital and ran and ran until I tripped and fell to the soft green grass. I don't know what happened but somehow I felt like my heart was in pieces no! ripped out of me. I cried so hard letting myself roll up into a ball. I heard a sound and got up startled by the noise.
"Who's there?" I said softly completely scared out of my mind. There was a horrible laugh that came from the forest. A shadow emerged showing an inhumanly beautiful woman with red flaming hair and crimson red eyes. As she approached me she stepped into the sunlight her skin sparkled. But for some reason this didn't surprise me.
"What do you want?" I asked. The beautiful women smiled at me and launched herself towards me. She bit me on the neck making me scream but covered my mouth with her hand. She got up and laughed at my screams. I felt a horrible pain like fire was inside of me and engulfing me in the process. I heard a loud high pitch scream and then smelled a horrible smell. I felt the fire course through my body more rapidly leaving a cold sensation. Then finally my heart took the last beat of life.
