Bring It On
(BPOV)
The truck pulled up to the school startling some people by its loud roar as usual. I got out and rushed to class seeing as I had been distracted long enough to make myself a little late. My body passed through the door to my Algebra class room just as the late bell rang.
"Isabella, please try to be here a tad bit earlier tomorrow. We can't have you missing any of the fun now can we?" Mr. Smith said in his monotone voice. Goodness, you'd have thought I was actually late rather than just stepping into the class room as the bell rang. It wasn't my fault that my vampire ex-boyfriend, who had brutally left me several months earlier, decided to drop by and leave a depressing poem accompanied by a note on the door telling me to meet him later on today. It wasn't something stupid like I stopped to tell Jessica that her earrings didn't match her belt or some other ridiculous comment. I've been in this class for a while now. It should be pretty obvious that I'm a good student.
I took my seat quickly and class began as usual. Mr. Smith was droning on and on about aluminum foil or something. Who knows. Algebra really wasn't my forte, but everyone was required to take it to graduate. It was definately easier when Edward was around and could check my work for me. But that time had come and passed.
About half-way through the class I gave up on attempting to pay attention and thought about what I was going to do about Edward instead. It was such an unexpected thing. The exact day that I was going to say yes to someone else. Alice was obviously involved.
But what was I going to do? Should I take him back immediately and act like nothing happened? Or tell him that it was too late and stick with Mike because he was safe? It was easy to look back on all the good times when everything was all sunshine and daisies (besides the whole James trying to kill me event). There hadn't been anything that could make me unhappy because I had him. He was everything; my life, my happiness, my soul.
I remember when you cared
When you said you'd always be there
When the rain fell,
But you still made me smile.
But what about after he left? When absolutely everything that could've possibly fallen apart did fall apart? When the very thing that made my eyes burn and my stomach turn was he who once made every piece of my being sparkle like diamonds?
Even though he tore me apart was there a chance he could make me happy again? Or was it too long a shot? Would I really be able to be happy with Edward again??
Now the saltwater falls again
In this fight no joy can win
An endless night
I'm just waiting for the dawn.
My mind immediately answered "Yes". My love for him was too strong to break because he hurt me once. It was impossible for me to even think about the possible consequences of being with him again. They don't matter. I'd trade an eternity of the pain he caused me for one more minute being loved by him.
If Jessica knew what had actually happened she'd tell me to forget about him because he wasn't good enough. But how can you forget someone who touched you so deeply? How can you let go of someone you gave your whole heart to? It wouldn't be possible for anyone to do. Sure you could pretend you've moved on and create an interest in someone else, but when it came to the end you'd still love the one who hurt you. The memory of the heart is everlasting and uncomprehendable.
So bring on the day
Bring on the life
Give me one more chance to fight
I won't back down
I'm on steady ground
There will be joy once again
So, Bring it on
"Ms. Swan, can you please solve the equation on the board as it is written in your notes?" Mr. Smith interrupted my thoughts. I looked down at the paper sitting on the desk in front of me that I was supposed to be taking notes on. There were notes all right, but they looked like they were for English in a discussion of poetry. I looked up at the chalkboard desparately.
"Umm...Pie to the 3rd power?" I guessed.
"Please pay more attention to class rather than doodling, Ms. Swan". I shook my head 'yes' rapidly. As soon as Mr. Smith went back to teaching I looked down and read what I'd written while I was off in my own world. A poem? I'd never been any better than decent at writing poems. Jessica, being herself, reached over and snatched the paper off my desk. There was a quiet gasp as she read it. She passed it back with a note on the bottom.
"Bella, I thought you were over Edward!! You were going to start dating Mike, remember?? The guy who's been your puppy dog since you moved here?? Edward destroyed you and left you alone and broken. How could you forget that??" I sighed. So predictable.
"Jess, you can't really get over someone you love. Not like crush-love, but actual love. I gave Edward my heart and I couldn't take it back when he left. I don't care that he hurt me. I love him. I've always loved him and I always will. I don't know how or why; I just do. Please try to understand. I can't let go of him." I ripped what I'd written off and passed it back to her, but just as i was reaching over to her Mr. Smith turned back to the class. The note was torn in pieces and thrown in the trash.
"Now Isabella, I know you enjoy not paying attention, but please don't disturb the more dedicated students" he said before turning back to the board once more. I grabbed a new piece of paper and started to write down the equations on the board. It didn't make any sense to me.
But one thing that I could understand was what I was going to do about Edward's return and the issue with Mike. There was no questioning it now- it was practically set in stone. I was going to see him and this time I wasn't going to let him just walk out on me.
Hey guys! I couldn't remember the Trig teacher's name, so I just put in a random one. Anyways, hope you liked the new song and this chapter! With any luck I'll be updating soon, but although it's summer I still have a bunch going on. Go figure. But please review and maybe it'll come faster!! ;) Until next time- HazelEyedHottie
