Chapter 3
A/N: hey! Well sorry this chapter is so short but ill make it up on the next chapter. So I wont get to write for about a week because I am going on a cruise to Jamaica! But I will be writing at Jamaica so it will be long! Well longer. Oh and just so everybody knows, its suppose to be a lot like the first of the normal twilight book. It will only be that way at the first. Previously: I fell asleep to those thoughts. Plotting her escape.
I woke up to the annoying shriek of the alarm clock next to my bed. My pale hand reached out from the lump on the mattress and smacked the top of the alarm clock. I groaned and rolled out of the bed. Later at lunch I decided. If Edward was there, at the table I would ditch. If he wasn't, I would go to Biology without a fight. I looked up to my fate. Yes! He isn't there. When I got home Charlie wasn't home yet and Jaylee came over. I made dinner fed her, I gave her a bath and brushed her hair and teeth. The rest of the week went by in that fashion. Finally! The weekend! I sat up in bed and stretched. Hmmm. . .
"Bella! Mike is on the phone!" Charlie hollered from the kitchen. I grumbled and then slumped down the stairs.
"Hello?" I asked in a groggily voice.
"Oh! Bella! Hey I missed you!" He said in a peppy voice. Ah! Its too early for this! I looked over to the clock. Ok well not early its ten.
"Seriously? How could you miss me? I saw you yesterday." I said Matter-o-factly.
He muttered something indecipherable then changed the subject.
"So… Bella. Do you, Ya know, want to come down to the La Push beach with some of our friends today?" he asked sort of hesitantly.
"I would love to but-"I was cut off.
"Great! I would love for you to come!" he said.
"Um, but Mike? I don't have any swimsuits here…" I said kind of slowly.
"Oh," he started. "Well barrow one from Jessica. Kay Bye!" with that he hung up before I could object. Great. I don't really want to see Jess. Oh, well. Suck. It. Up. I sighed and punched her number into the phone.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Hi Jess. Its Bella. Um has Mike told you about the trip to La Push yet?" I asked sort of beating around the bush.
"Oh yeah!" she giggled. "Mike invited me… did he invite you?" she asked excitedly.
"Yeah. . . . that's what I was calling about. I don't have any swimsuits here in Washington so I was wondering if I could barrow one of yours?" I asked meekly.
"Yeah of course! I will be over in a few minutes kay?" she asked.
"Kay." I answered. I heard keys jingle on the other line then I hung up. Fun. I look like absolute crap. I ran up the stairs to change as quickly as possible. I heard knuckles wrapping on the door. I went slowly down the stairs careful not to trip on the way. I opened the door to a cheerful Jessica with a blue swimsuit in her hand.
"Hey Jess." I gave her a friendly hug and let her in. we went upstairs and I changed. I have to admit in this triangle top two piece blue swimsuit, I look hot! I threw on a tank top and shorts over my swimsuit and started to the door. Not to mention ignoring everything Jessica was saying. I was almost to the door when I heard a little knock. I already knew who it was. Jaylee. I opened the door and looked down. I saw the cutest little girl with a huge blackening bruise on her left eye. Her face was slightly tilted trying to hide the bruise from me. I gasped and kneeled down to hug her.
"Jaylee," I said. I felt her little form wrack with tears as I had her wrapped in my arms.
"What happened?" I asked her on the verge of tears.
"I wouldn't give my food to the dogs…" she said.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Jay." I hugged her a little longer until Jessica cleared her throat behind us.
"You know," she started. "She can come. I'm sure Mike wont mind."
"Go where?" Jaylee asked.
"Do you want to go swimming with me and some of my friends?" I asked her. She nodded her head. I think I still have some swimsuits from earlier summers with Charlie. Of course its too small now so it would fit her. I got her swimsuit and we left in Jessica's car.
