I really hated school and wanted to skip to hang out with Paul until my brother arrived, but the last thing I needed was a fight to break out and the last thing I need is the Cullen's trying to make an excuse that I am being held against my will by Paul Lahote, but Paul is the only one that treats me proper.
I headed into first period with my old greaser look that I have been lacking since living in Forks and realized just how much Control that the Cullen's had on me that not even Steve had and glad to be going back home, wearing my famous leather jacket that once belonged to Steve and smelled like smoke and my new black combat boots, catching a few surprise glances with the way I was dressed and it was sure to piss off Alice which is always fun.
I passed Alice on my way to class and saw her give me a look of disapproval because of my attire, but I don't give a shit what she thinks of me, I am my own person and I will act how I want, talk how I want, and dress how I want, and she can lay out clothes for me all she wants, but that doesn't mean I will wear them.
I saw Edward heading towards me with that look of disapproval on his face; oh great, here comes the lecture that I am just dying to here,...not!
I would rather rot in jail which has happened on more than one occasion than listen to him lecture me about what he thinks is best for me without even asking me.
"Love ( I seriously hate the pet name for me, it makes me want to vomit), what on earth are you wearing? Those clothes are not appropriate for such a lady to be wearing, I thought I had Alice lay out clothes that I deemed appropriate for you this morning? Come, Alice saw what you were wearing and I had her bring in some clothes for you to change in that are more appropriate, you look like a common criminal," Edward said with no idea that he just insulted my entire lifestyle as a greaser that I am and I am not putting up with it anymore.
"No offense Edward, but you are not my father and you do not get to tell me what to do. This is actually the real me and you will learn soon enough this is how I dressed growing up. Don't you dare talk down to me like I am some immature child that can't make decisions for herself. God, I am going to be so glad when tomorrow gets here," I said, realizing the slip up and that I almost told him that I am moving back to Tulsa and glad I never told him where I was from or he would probably follow me to Oklahoma and I seriously don't want a seventeen year old vampire virgin following me because he doesn't get his way.
"Bella! Stop this behavior at once, you will change in the clothes Alice brought you even if she or I have to change you ourselves than you and I are going to have a long talk about your behavior and disobedience," Edward said, scolding me like a misbehaved child that only made my temper worse; only Steve is allowed to scold me like that and he is not my brother.
"Edward, you are not my father or my brother, so you don't get to talk to me like that. If you even think about forcing me out of my clothes and into your opinion of appropriate clothes, I will scream rape to the school and to my brother who I never told you about, and trust me, you don't want to mess with Steve, he is quite protective. Don't be judging something you know nothing about," I said, threatening him and catching him by surprise as I have never talked to him that way before, always letting him have his way.
"Bella, don't be stupid, you don't have a brother and if you did, I would know as Alice would have seen it and I had your records checked, you are the only child of Renee Dwyer and Charlie Swan, now do as you're told, the man has spoken and my word is final," Edward said, trying to be firm, but there is nothing that he can do to me that I am scared of, I am a fourteen year old greaser girl who has no intention of being controlled.
"Edward, bite me because like I said you are not my father and let me tell you a secret, Swan isn't my biological name, I had it changed after I moved in with Charlie and I am not going to tell you my real last name as I don't want you to know where I live, but Charlie is my uncle and I had lived with a single father and an older brother who raised me, so fuck you very much, Dickward," I told him, catching the eyes of some of my classmates as my greaser side was coming out and saw Angela smirk, knowing that I have been holding, that in for so long.
Edward shook his head in disapproval at me and went to grab my arm, probably to force his clothes on me though I have no intention of wearing his approved clothes when I can choose for myself, we aren't even together anymore, I broke up with him over a month ago and he doesn't even understand the concept of a break-up, but pulled back from his hand, knowing he couldn't use his vampire abilities while at school.
I saw a look that almost looked like he was going to lose his temper with me as he gripped my arm and could feel the tightness and using a protection spell to keep me from being injured that would have Steve proud, though isn't take away his anger from not practicing, as he was still going to be pissed at me for that.
"Edward, let go, you don't get a say in what I do anymore. We broke up, remember? The concept of a break-up is that you don't get a say in my choices and neither does your sister, you were too controlling and my brother is going to have a few choice words for you when he gets to Forks," I said, waiting for him to take his hand off of me and was still going to bruise, despite my protection spell and wonder if I should call Paul and say that Edward is getting too controlling, asking him to come get me.
"Well it's no wonder with your behavior and your crude language, makes sense now, you didn't have the proper training of being a wife with having no mother, but no need to worry, Alice will take care of that for sure and I think you should move in for your training and we will be getting married in August, I think," Edward said, not listening to a word I said that we were no longer together, forcing me to follow along with him as he wouldn't let go of my arm, wanting to take a shower to wash off his scum germs.
"Edward, I am not marrying you! I am too young and don't talk about my family like that, my father did the best that he could after my mother passed, just because we didn't have money like your family, doesn't mean we deserve your cruel remarks! He works just as hard as anyone with raising two kids, and it isn't his fault that I kept skipping school with my best friend and had to go live with Uncle Charlie, and I'm a little bit younger than what I told you so you would need my father permission even if I wanted to get married that not even the finest lawyer can change and there is just one thing else: I DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED," I said, practically screaming at him and causing him to let me go, and finally got to walk away and away from him.
I went to class and sat as far away from Edward as possible who just kept staring at me which was a little creepy like him going into my bedroom while I am sleeping at night just to stare at me, having no respect for a girl's right for privacy and like having my privacy and why I placed a spell on Uncle Charlie's house that Edward or his family could not enter without permission each time, making me feel more comfortable while sleeping at night and Edward has yet to figure out why he can't enter unless I give consent.
Alice came up to me, fuming," How dare you talk to my brother like that! He is just doing what he thinks is best for you and why are you wearing those cheap clothes? I laid out some nicer clothes for you," Alice said, getting in my face, too close for comfort and if I didn't know I would break my hand, I would have punched her already and I have wanted to do it many times before.
"I am wearing what I want to wear, Alice and it is not up to you or your brother to decide that for me. I have a brain and can make up my own mind on what I think is best for me and I broke up with him over a month ago and he lost any right in deciding for me, especially with how controlling he is.
I am a person not some slave he can bark orders at. He really needs to get his ass out of the early twentieth century, I'm not that kind of girl. I will do what I want, say what I want, dress in what I want, whenever I want! Got it, so leave me the fuck alone, Alice," I said through gritted teeth and she looked at me shocked before going to sit with Edward and faking hurt, but I wasn't stupid and I know she has some motive with being friends with me and just because she sees me wearing something that she likes on me, doesn't mean I like or even feel comfortable in it.
"Well darling, someone finally grew a backbone," I heard Jasper say next to me, but I didn't mind as he never tried to change or control me, making me something that I am not and surprised that he isn't sitting with Edward and Alice who were talking quietly to themselves and occasionally throwing glances my way.
"No offense to your girl, but she was getting too obsessive about what I wear and needed to be taken down a peg or two. Besides, I promised my brother I would lay low and yes before you ask, I do have an older brother, a much older brother that your brother thinks he has a right to criticize and insult and he is lucky I couldn't punch him without breaking my arm or I would have don't it long ago, he is much too controlling," I whispered to him and saw him chuckle which only angered Edward more that I was letting Jasper talk to me without cursing him out or just having him near me, but could care less what he thinks, he has no hold on me.
"It's alright, darling, I take no offense to your statement, you have every right to be upset, and I knew you weren't Charlie's daughter as his daughter is in a boarding school in London on a scholarship and her name is not even Isabella Swan.
It is obvious you were related to Charlie as you have some looks in you though didn't know exactly where from, probably a niece or something so I don't doubt you have a older brother, and Emmett and I apologize on Edward's behalf for his behavior as he probably won't do it himself, he had no right to insult your family. I can get Emmett to punch him for you if you want, darling," Jasper said and got a laugh out of me as the bell rang.
"I will leave that up to him to decide, but just so you know, Steve is not going to be happy with how they were treating me, and if you think my angry temper is scary, I have nothing on my brother who loves getting into fights for fun, though I love them myself, so he is going to have a few words with you all soon, so be warned and promise me you won't let Edward hurt my brother, he really is all I have," I begged of Jasper who saw just a young girl and probably realized I was much younger than I led them to believe.
"Belle, if there is anything I can do and there isn't much, I can at least promise you that, no harm will come to your brother, not as long as I am alive, I promise," Jasper said, with a look of sincerity that I knew he wouldn't break and know there was something about Jasper that I could trust.
