Bella's Pov
Alice sure was a spunky litte thing. Her room was purple and all her furniture was white. She had a little vanity and mirror, and a huge walk in closet which she showed me around in for at least ten minutes. She talked to me about clothes, talking so fast I barely caught it all. After a while, Esme called us down for dinner. Alice grabbed my hand and pulled me down the stairs. I inhaled. It was mouthwatering. I scowled. Alice pulled me into the kitchen, and I plastered a smile.
"It smells delicious, Esme." Esme smiled warmly at me.
"Excellent. I made plenty so eat as much as you want." I kept the smile on my face while I replied.
"Great." I said through gritted teeth. Esme didn't notice. I sat down next to Alice. Carlisle camed down followed by two boys. One was huge and looked like he could snap me in half with his pinky. The other boy looked faguely familiar.
"Edward?" I asked the same time he said my name. Everyone else looked confused.
"You know eachother?" Carlisle asked me. I nodded.
"Yeah, Edward's my biology partner." Edward nodded. This time Esme spoke up.
"Well, I hope Edward's been the gentleman I raised him to be and welcomed you to town." Esme said glaring at Edward. I chuckled softly. Besides that first hello Edward hadn't spoken one word to me. Edward looked at me with pleading eyes. I rolled my eyes. Did he actually think I was going to rat him out to his mom?
"Yeah, Edward's been great. I couldn't ask for a better partner." I lied. Esme quit glaring at Edward and turned to me.
"So, Bella, where did you move from?" Esme asked simply. I grimaced slightly. Not at the question but what I knew the question would lead to. Everyone else began to pile their plates, and I was slightly glad Esme was distracting me.
"Uh, Arizona." I answered simply. Carlisle eyed my empty plate so I slabbed a piece of steak on my plate. I groaned internally. Steak? Was she trying to break me?
"Why did you move? If you don't mind me asking?" I grimaced again. No way was I telling her the truth.
"My mother Renee remarried, and I decided I would give them space and spend some time with Charlie." That was sort of true. My mom had remarried. And she had decided I should move with Charlie. And apparenlty give her space. I grimaced again. I looked at Carlilse. He knew I was lying, but I prayed he wouldn't say anything. He nodded seeming to understand me.
"Oh that's very sweet of you." I nodded at Esme while disagreeing with her on the inside. I was the worst daughter. I made my mom so worried sick and then get angry at her for trying to fix me. Of course, she could have done it better. Carlisle cleared his throat.
"Bella, have some mashed potatoes." I glared at him while I scooped some one my plate. He pushed it closer to me indicating I should have more. I sighed and took more scoops and raised my eyebrows as to say' there happy.' He nodded but pointed at a bowl of macaroni. I groaned and everyone turned to stare at me. I blushed.
"Uh, I stubbed my toe, on the table." I mumbled. Everyone looked at me strangely before shrugging. I stared at my plate. The numbers of calories jumping to the front of my mind. How much I would have to run to burn that off. I cut my steak into small bites trying to prolong. Esme offered me steak sauce I denied. More calories. Carlisle kept staring at my plate so I sighed and finally took a bite. It was delicious. I hated it. I chew 10 times. A habit I had picked up in the beginning. I was the last to finish. Everyone around me finished first. I felt slightly awkward being the only one silent but thankfully conversation flowed between the others taking the spotlight off of me. Except for Carlisle. Just as I predicted he had watched me the entire meal. I wanted to say something smart to him like 'take a picture, it will last longer' but decided to keep my mouth shut. I finally finished what was on my plate and was relieved to be out of the kitchen. It was too tempting not to eat more. Alice dragged me back upstairs, and we talked about school and other teenage things. I had to go to the bathroom, and Alice pointed me to the room. I walked out the door and bumped into something hard. Or someone. Two arms caught out to steady me, and I looked up at Edward. He smiled slightly at me.
"Thanks for not ratting me out to my mom earlier." I rolled my eyes again.
"Edward, I quit doing that when I was 5 it's no problem." He nodded. I noticed his arms were still on mine. I looked down at them until he moved. Edward seemed amazed by my arm for some reason. He kept staring at them.
"What?" He shook his hand and wrapped his fingers around my arm. They almost touched.
"Your arms are tiny. How much do you weigh? Ten pounds?" He joked.
"I wish." I mumbled. Edward caught it though and looked at me questioningly. I shook my head.
"I should be going. I'm just going to tell Alice bye." Edward nodded, but I felt his eyes staring into my back as I walked away. Alice was disappointed to see me leave and said I must see with her at lunch. I agreed.
Charlie was alseep on the couch when I got home. I walked to my room and stared at myself in my own mirror. I lifted up my shirt. Even though I knew it wasn't possible I felt like I had gained 10 pounds in that one meal. I sighed and a tear streamed down my cheek. I walked to the bathroom, and before I knew what I was doing I was flushing my own vomit down. I brushed my teeth and was disgusted to see I was smiling.
I need help.
Review. I was really tired and out of it so I don't think it was that good but hopefully you do!
