A/N: Okay, wow, 3rd chapter. Umm… I'm still not sure who's POV I want to do this in, so I may jump around. Sorry if there's any confusion. I'll try my best.
Disclaimer: You know it already, do I really nee to repeat myself? Too bad! Enjoy!
What Happened to Forever?
Chapter 3: Old Friends, New Foes
BPOV
The world was fuzzy, everything densitized, unclear, cloudy. Except for he pain emitting from my head. That was the only thing that wasn't. There was a dim light as I was lifted. Cold arms held me. I opened my eyes.
Alice held me steady while I sat on her car.
"Owww…" I groaned. I closed my eyes and held my head in my hand. Rosalie stood a little behind Alice. She was remotely kind now. At least it was better than glaring.
Another girl stood towards the trunk. I wondered who she was, but my head was hurting so bad, that I decided I would find out later.
"Bella!" I heard Edward yell. I just barely had enough time to raise my head and open my eyes before he had pulled me off the car and into a bone-crushing hug. The quick movements made my head spin and left me extremely woozy. I whimpered and slipped out of his embrace. I wobbled and Alice held me steady.
"What happened?" he demanded. He made no effort to keep the anger out of his tone. Alice didn't reply, she just glanced over her shoulder and guided me towards the house.
EPOV (A/N: Okay, I won't repeat the scene again, here you go)I just stared at her. My face, I'm sure, was whiter than usual. She stared back. I don't know how long we stood there until Alice yelled, "Edward! Get in here now or else Bella and I are going to Paris for month-long shopping trip!"
That triggered something. I turned and walked back to the house. I cold feel Tanya following. I entered the house and I was met by and eager Alice, bags at her side, and a horrified Bella.
"Alice," I said cautiously, "there's no need to do anything rash."
"Come on Bella," she said, holding my gaze, "our flight leaves at six!" Bella's eyes almost bugged out of her head and she went as pale as a sheet of paper. I was afraid she would have a heart attack, or stroke, or something.
"Alice!" I cautioned. Just then a wave of calm spread over the room. Jasper had appeared at the foot of the stairs. I threw him a pleading look. He smiled and shook his head.
I looked back to Alice, she grinned victoriously, released Bella's wrist and I ran to her. She dropped into my arms and I kissed her head.
"Owww," she mumbled and I released her so I could look her in the eye. She looked down, then up at me. "I fainted." She admitted, looking down, blushing.
"Why?" I asked suspiciously. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it. He brow furrowed in concentration.
"I… don't… know." She answered.
"You don't know?" I asked, quite amused, trying hard not to show it, but working to no avail. She sensed my amusement. "No!" she snapped and she walked away, and up the stairs. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.
"Bella! Bella, wait!"
TPOV ('Cause I know ya want it!)
We stared at each other for a while. His face was whiter than usual; it had paled when he saw me. Alice broke the stare when she yelled, "Edward! Get in here now or else Bella and I are going to Paris for a month-long shopping trip!" Something flickered in his eyes before he turned away. He walked away! He was walking away, and leaving me here! So I followed him.
When we entered the house, I took it all in. The light interior created a light atmosphere. The lack of separate rooms made it airy. I felt happier just looking at it. You would never in a million years, guess that seven vampires lived here. When I turned my attention away from the house, a wave of calm and serenity washed over the room. Jasper had appeared at the stair, because apparently, an argument had been going on while I was examining the house.
Suddenly, Alice grinned widely and dropped the girl's wrist she had been holding. Edward ran to her and the girl sank into his embrace. He buried his head into her hair, but that seemed to hurt her. 'Fragile human!' He pulled away, but moved his hands so they rested on her upper arms. He was staring at her expectantly. "I fainted." She admitted at last, then looked away, blushing red. I heard Emmet chuckle and Rosalie wore an amused expression. Jasper's expression told me that this happened quite often.
"Why?" Edward asked, genuinely curious. This is what intrigued me. 'Why do they care?'
"I… don't…know." She answered slowly, trying to remember why. I should have felt guilty, but somehow I only felt hatred, confusion, and… jealousy? 'Me? Tanya Lavincie, (I decided that's her last name) jealous of a human? Please!' I thought. Luckily, Edward wasn't listening to me, he was still focused on the girl.
"You don't know?" he asked, his amusement showing in every word. He wore one of those weird expressions that you get when you laugh at someone else's expense. Her anger flared then, her head whipped up and she looked at him furiously. "No!" she snapped and stomped up the stairs. 'Obviously, she's been here before.' I mused.
Everyone just stared at Edward, who stood looking at where she had disappeared. He sighed, running his hand through his messy, bronze hair. "Bella! Bella, wait!" he yelled. He ascended the stairs at a human pace. When he finally disappeared around the corner, everyone laughed. I was confused more than ever.
APOV (Like promised!)
We all laughed. We knew the fight wouldn't last long, they never did since Bella went weak at the knees every time Edward smiled. Then I remembered Tanya. She was looking pretty confused by now. I cleared my throat.
"Look who we found at the mall!" I exclaimed. Suddenly all eyes were on Tanya.
"Tanya, nice to see you again." Said Carlisle.
"Yes, long time no see." Remarked Esme.
"Hey!" Jasper and Emmet replied, as they went back to wrestling, no doubt, while they rushed out the door.
"Why don't you come and talk to us about how you've been." Rosalie suggested excitedly. With that, we headed up to my room.
Tanya told us how her and the rest of the clan had been, and what they had been doing lately. As she finished, I felt the regular pulling of my visions, but for some reason, this one seemed urgent, as it tugged harder until I was pulled into my subconscious vision.
It's Bella, she opens a door and suddenly the view changes. Bella stand in the doorway of what looks like Edward's room, due to the hallway behind her. Many emotions play across her face until she finally turns and runs, tears flying down her cheeks. She stumbles down the stairs, but when she gets to the bottom, she falls to the floor, sobs racking her body.
The vision ends.
A/N: Cliffhanger! I know, I'm sorry. I have to figure out what I want to happen next. Hmmm…anyways, I'll update as soon as I can, but first I need to see if I can make the next chapter longer. That may take a while. It seems that the further I get, the longer the chapters, but not chapter four. Hope you enjoyed!
