The Best Summer: Chapter 3
I nearly fainted when I entered the last aisle. Standing right there, in that aisle was my ex-boyfriend, James. He broke my heart and it pained to see him there. We were dating for two years until about a month ago when I caught him cheating on me with Victoria. I mean, who would want to go out with a plain Jane like me, when you could go out with Victoria and her flaming red hair that you could see from miles away?
I hoped that he didn't see me. I quickly got out of that aisle, deciding that I will just leave now and not even check in that aisle for anything I might possibly need. My hopes of James not seeing me were crushed when I heard him shout my name. I turned around to see him running after me, trying to catch up.
"What?" I almost yelled, but made sure not to because I was in a grocery store and I didn't want to draw attention to myself.
"I just wanted to talk to you and I didn't expect to see you here," he said. Why did he even want to talk to me when he could talk to Victoria? Then, something dawned on me.
"Why are you here?" I asked with total curiosity. I don't understand why he would be here, in Forks.
"Victoria's grandparents live here, and I came with her to visit them," he said, like we were friends, which we most certainty are not.
"Oh," was the only response I could think of, I just wanted to get out of here.
"Wait, why are you here?" he asked totally shocked to see me here.
"Well, if you listened at all when we dated, you would have known that my father lives here," I said sourly. "And if you excuse me, I have to get going."
"Come on, babe, don't be like that," he was practically whining.
"Babe? I don't think I'm your babe anymore, Victoria is."
'Bella, you know I never wanted anyone but you." And with that, he pushed me up against the shelves in the aisle. He was leaning forward, getting ready to kiss me. The whole time I was trying to squirm away, but his hold on me was too strong for me to break through.
"James!" I yelled angrily. "Stop! Stop it now, James!" His lips were a second away from kissing me, when all of a sudden he was pushed away. I couldn't believe that he got pushed away. When I saw who it was, I almost fainted for the second time that day.
Standing right in front of James was that bronze haired mystery pizza boy. He was now, leaning over James. I can't believe that he pushed James away from me. Why would he do that? It doesn't make any sense at all; most people would just leave us alone, thinking that I wanted to kiss him. Maybe he heard my frantic screaming, but still no one would ever push him away from me. It made absolutely no sense at all.
"You better leave her alone. It looked like she didn't want you to kiss her," that sweet velvet voice said, even thought it was harsh, it was still such a beautiful sound.
"O-okay," James stuttered. He slowly got up, stole a glance at me and then left. Then, the man that saved me walked over to me where I was still frozen in place from the shock of seeing him.
"Are you okay?" he asked me, and he actually seemed very concerned.
"Y-yeah. T-thank you," I stuttered.
"It was no problem, I could tell that he was bugging you, are you sure you're okay…umm…sorry, I didn't catch your name," He seemed kind of nervous to talk to me, or was I just imagining that?
"Bella, and yes, I'm fine. Thanks again for your help…"
"Edward." That was an old fashioned name, but I liked it, as long as it was him, I don't care what his name is. He's too gorgeous, and from what I can tell, sweet, and kind. Wait a second, Bella, you just met him, you can't be thinking that, I said to myself.
"Well, thanks Edward," I said, not sure of what to say now. It was kind of awkward because this is technically the first time we met and we don't know what to say. I know that this isn't really the first time we met or spoke, but this isn't like the other time. He isn't working now, and, well, he did something for me, besides bringing pizza to my home of course.
"Your welcome….and…well, I hope you don't mind me asking this but…do you have any clue why he was all over you? I have lived here for about two or three years now, and I have never seen him here, so I don't know him to know if he is normally like that or not," he said very nervous. I felt so bad for him because he truly wanted to know and he thought he would hurt my feelings by asking me. He is so sweet!
"Well, he is my ex-boyfriend, see I live in Phoenix with my mom and I'm just spending the summer with my dad," I started not trying to tell him everything, because, well because I don't know him. "And, well, I think he was just trying to get me back, but I don't want anything to do with him. Apparently, his current girlfriend's grandparents live here and he came with her to visit them, that's probably why you've never seen him before."
"Oh, that might explain it. Do you know who his girlfriend's grandparents' names are because I might know them?" He asked innocently.
"I don't know her grandparent's names, but her name is Victoria, if that helps?" I said Victoria's name with a lot of harshness.
"Not really, but it doesn't matter. I guess I should go now," he said, with a hint of sadness that I didn't understand.
"Okay, me too. Bye, Edward," I replied.
"Bye, Bella." Once he said goodbye, I headed to the check out so I could purchase my food and then head home.
Once again, everything that I thought popped into my mind led back to Edward. At least now I have a name to go with that beautiful face of his. Now, I really want to see him again because I can tell that he is sweet, and he would protect me if I ever got close to him. But, I will never get close to him because I'm only here for the summer, and I most likely won't see him again. It's so stupid of me to think all of these things. I should really jut try to forget all about him, and life would be so much easier. But, I know that it will be impossible to forget about Edward. Impossible.
When I got home, I realized that I must have been gone for a while because I only had an hour before Charlie got home. I needed to put the groceries away, but leave out what I need to cook dinner for tonight. When I had everything put away, the phone rang.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey, Bells," It was Charlie, why is he calling? He never talks on the phone unless it's something really important, like an emergency.
"Hey, dad, is something wrong? You only call unless it's something important," By now my voice was a little frantic, I wanted to make sure that everything way okay.
"Yeah, everything's fine, calm down."
"Oh, then why are you calling?" I asked. It's still really unusual to talk to him over the phone. I wonder what he wanted to tell me that led him to calling.
"Well, I wanted to let you know that we will have a guest for dinner today. Her name is Alice Cullen, and she's your age. I know her dad, Carlisle, he is a doctor and he is a great man. I figured that I should introduce you two because you will want someone to be with this summer," He kept going on and on about her, and I was truly flattered that he would do that for me.
"Okay, I'll make sure to make dinner for three. Thanks for introducing me to her," I said to let him know that I appreciated it.
"You're welcome. I'll see you soon. Bye."
"Bye."
I hung up the phone, and then I started cooking. While I was cooking, I got excited that I was going to meet someone that I could probably spend the summer with. I made sure to make an extra nice dinner because we will have company. Time passed very quickly and before I knew it, I heard Charlie enter the house and he was talking to someone. I would have to assume that it was Alice because he wasn't talking to me.
"Bella?" He asked as he entered the kitchen.
"In here, dad," I said. Where else would I be, he knew that I would be cooking.
"Bella, I would like you to meet Alice. Alice I would like you to meet my daughter, Bella." When he said this, a short, pixie like girl with short black hair pointed out in all directions entered the kitchen. She was beautiful and the clothes she wore complimented her body, unlike the clothes I wore did to mine.
"Hi, Bella!" She yelled bouncing up and down. I can tell that she is a really hyper and enthusiastic girl by the way she is acting right now.
"Hi, Alice." I responded with a smile, I was excited but not nearly as much as she was.
We sat down for dinner and during dinner we talked about anything and everything. I learned that she has two brothers, her boyfriend's name is Jasper, and he is absolutely gorgeous with his blonde hair and blue eyes. He is really sweet with his southern hospitality and they have been dating for a while now, I don't remember how long she said they were dating.
"Hey, Bella, we so have to go shopping tomorrow!" She yelled, I could tell that she loved shopping, which I do not.
"Umm…Alice, I don't really like shopping, I would love hanging out with you, but does it have to be shopping?" I whined.
"Oh, come on Bella, it will be a ton of fun!" I had a feeling that when you argued with her that she would win and that it was easier to just agree with her so I gave in.
"Fine," I said.
"Yay! I'll pick you up tomorrow!" She exclaimed. "I have to go now, see you tomorrow, Bella! Bye Charlie!"
"Bye, Alice, see you tomorrow."
I can't believe that I just agreed to go shopping tomorrow with a little pixie with a lot of energy. Tomorrow will be a very interesting day.
