Between Twilight and New Moon
Chapter 4: I feel so unworthy
She was beautiful. She was everything. With her gorgeous strawberry blonde curls, perfect skin, perfect everything. I had no idea why Edward had turned her down. I felt so unworthy. Apparently Edward thinks I'm better than her but I certainly don't.
Tanya gave me a look like I was unwelcome. "Edward? Who is this?" Tanya asked him pointing to me like I was some rat. Edward interlocked his fingers with mine. "Tanya, this is Bella, my Bella." Tanya crossed her arms. "Well, welcome." She said her voiced iced with fake sweetness.
Edward laughed and let go of my hand. He grabbed the luggage and effortlessly carried it into the cottage. I suddenly felt calm, Jasper walked by me. "Thanks," I said. He nodded in response and carried other luggage into the cottage.
Edward walked out, rubbing his hands together. I stood there mesmerized by how Tanya could be so mean, and only I could see it. Alice skipped over to me and whispered into my ear. "You're not the only one who sees through Tanya's fakeness. Jaz and I have thought this for years."
I let my shoulders relax. Knowing I wasn't the only one who saw through her, made me feel a little better. "The whole entire time, we are here. She will be mean to you. She thinks you stole Edward away from her." Alice told me shaking her head. "How do you know that?" I asked, "I thought only Edward could read minds." Alice looked at me, "I can read Tanya like a book. She's going to make another play for Edward while were here."
I looked at her in disbelief. "What if she gets Edward?" I said frightened of loosing him. Alice laughed, "She won't, I've seen the way Edward looks toward you and her." Edward is just polite and is nice to her. He kind of has a disliking toward her too. But he still doesn't see through that fake sweetness." She said grimly.
We walked into the cottage, and the most amazing smell of butterscotch overwhelmed my nose. A woman I hadn't seen before saw me and laughed. "We like to keep the house smelling fresh." She smiled, "I'm Kate, Tanya's sister." I shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you." I said trying to get over the bad mood I was in since I saw Tanya.
Edward walked down from a hallway. "Ah." He said, "I see you've met Kate." He smiled at Kate. "Bella, I put your entire luggage in your room." He took my hand, and started walking me down the very long mysterious hallway. We finally got to a door, and he opened it.
It was an amazingly beautiful room. It silver lace curtail across the window, bringing in a pale light. The bedspread was a delicate lavender and silver. Everything in the room was based around these two colors.
"Thus is where you will be staying." He said. "You'll still stay in my room at night won't you?" I turned to face him. "Or will you be partying all night with Tanya?" I asked barely getting her name out. "Of course, I will be in here every night with you. Your more important to me than any party, human, or vampire on this Earth." He said smiling.
I smiled at him. He left me to start unpacking my luggage. I opened the first suitcase and smelled my familiar clothes. I suddenly missed home. Alice gracefully walked into the room. "Hey Alice." I said, even I could hear the glumness in my voice. She smiled at me, "oh Bella, don't look so down, this will be fun!" She said excitedly.
We walked into the kitchen, Edward, was already coking lunch. Well I guess it was only my lunch, I was the only one here with human needs. I sat at the table with Alice, and she talked about all the amazing things we could do in Alaska. Edward sat down a toasted ham sandwich in front of me.
It was very good. After I ate, Alice and I went shopping. I was still glum. When we got back, we walked into the house and everyone was watching a movie. Tanya was all over Edward, every few seconds; she would move an inch closer to Edward. They obviously didn't hear us come in. Because as I watched her, she leaned her whole body onto Edward, he tried moving away, but she grabbed onto him!
I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I let a few tears out before I ran into my room, as Alice raced after me. She slowly opened the door, giving me a sad look. I knew she had seen exactly what I had seen. "Bella, maybe I was wrong. This time Tanya is playing her hardest knowing she has competition; she has a good chance of winning after all." Alice cam and sat on the bed and just held me while I cried.
I knew I had no chance of winning against Tanya. Maybe I could get Kate on my side. But I knew that wasn't possible, because she was Tanya's sister. But I knew two things for sure. This would be one of the worst Summers I had ever had, and those strawberry blonde curls with there iced on fake sweetness were about to make me loose everything I loved, Forever.
