Meeting another older vamp? This is interesting…
Wait the minute, what's wrong with me?!?
Crap.
Bella hurried towards Edward when school ended.
"Hey, um about your dad, I won't make it. In fact, I don't wanna get involved with this stuff anymore…," she muttered.
Edward looked at her.
"I get it, you don't wanna get into the hunter vampires stuff," he said.
"Yeah. I wanna have a normal life again. But remember what I said," she warned.
"Always," Edward said and left.
"Dad! I'm gonna go out with Jessica!" Bella yelled at the top of her lungs at Charlie. He was in the showers when she went out. Jessica had offered to give her a ride to Seattle.
"So." Jessica started.
"So?" Bella asked.
"I saw you talking with Edward Cullen this morning. He doesn't talk to anyone!" Jessica burst.
Bella shrugged. Jessica was starring at her curiously... until the sounds of a honk blaring send Jessica into hysteria. She hadn't been keeping her eyes on the road and a truck was going to ran into them. Bella pushed past her and stomped on the brakes. They couldn't do anything but to wait for the impact. Jessica was so hysterical that she fainted.
I'm jinxed. Bella thought while desperately trying to grab Jessica and jump.
Until she saw the familiar silver Volvo.
And Edward climbing out of nowhere and pushed Jessica's car off the road. His faced was contorted as he carried Jessica and nodded and her direction before going into his car. Bella climbed into Jessica's seat, and started the ignition key. She followed behind Edward, trying to register what had happened back there.
He was heading towards the hospital. She watched as Edward climbed out carrying Jessica who was still unconscious. A few minutes later, he came out, eyes full of concern as he rounded Bella.
"Hey, you okay? Are you hurt?" he asked.
"I'm in one piece, thanks."
"You sure? You kinda looked pale," he persisted.
"I'm fine! Jeez. What were you doing there anyway?" Bella asked.
"I lived nearby. Was hanging," he said simply.
"Really? I kinda had the feeling that you were following me," Bella toyed despite herself.
He leaned in closer. His face was near a smile.
"Now why would I do that?"
"You tell me. I'm not the one who's appearing out of nowhere. Not that I'm ungrateful but if you are following me I would like to know why,"
"Maybe I like you," he said coyly.
"Maybe?" Bella played along.
He was flirting with her.
"I better get you home, you can leave her car keys with Carlisle, my dad," he said.
"What?"
"He's the doctor,"
Bella knew she had no choice.
She was deep in her own thoughts while she sat in Edward's car until he poked her.
"Ouch!"
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"How annoying you are!" Bella fumed. Edward couldn't hold back a smile.
Bella shivered.
"You're cold," he frowned.
"Well gee thanks, you're not a bumble bee yourself," Bella spat.
"I meant you looked cold," he said, shaking off his leather jacket and handed to her.
"Oh," Bella was dumbstruck.
