Tell you something.
Okay, everybody. I know
I haven't updated in um… forever? That's because it was too
hard to juggle stories and I decided to just work on one (Which I
finished. Go me!!). I'm going to start working on this one now,
and I have all the chapters practically in my head. I'm hoping I
can get a bunch of reviews. Maybe even more than the last story I
did? That would be hard to beat though, considering I don't have a
lot on this one to begin with… Anyways, here it is. Chapter
four: Breaking down.
She wants me. I thought to myself and smiled. Just then a blond with a mini skirt walked by and I totally forgot about… What was her name? Bonnie?
"Hey, baby." I said and the girl turned to me with a disgusted expression. When she laid her eyes on me, her face turned flirty.
"Oh, hey." She said and I wrapped my arm around her waist. We continued walking down the sidewalk towards wherever she was heading before.
"Busy tonight? You could come over to my room and we could…" I let the sentence trail off. She was... Frowning?
"Can't, I'm so busy tonight. I have to study." She said and pursed her lips. "Tomorrow maybe?"
But I was already pulling away from her. Ignoring her. I heard her calling back to me, but I was preoccupied by the beautiful brunette sleeping under the tree. It was none other then Bonnie.
I plopped myself down next to her and watched for any sign of life. It didn't look like she was breathing. Maybe I would have to do CPR?
"Edward…" She whispered in her sleep and my eyebrows shot up. Was she awake? "You suck."
Her voice sounded too muffled for her to be awake. She was dreaming about me?
The idea amused me. A cocky smile played on my lips as I leaned down to whisper into her ear.
"Wake up, Bonnie, baby. I'm here." I whispered as seductively as I could. The typical effect it had on women was, them throwing themselves at me or stripping on the spot. This time was… different.
Her hand flew back and smacked me in the nose.
"Oh." She moaned and I rubbed my nose. That was new. She sat up and yawned once. She stopped mid yawn, though, when she saw me rubbing my nose. "Oh." She said in a bored tone. "Why are you here? While I'm sleeping.."
I just smiled and dropped my hand. I don't think it's bleeding?
"You were watching me sleep?!" She shrieked and I raised an eyebrow. She gaped. "Holy crow! Get out of here!"
Then she stood up in a rush, grabbing her bag and loose papers. I chuckled loudly and she glared before stomping off.
"It's Bella by the way! Not Bonnie!"
She didn't seem to want me around?
I liked a challenge.
"And she's really funny, too." Jasper said, continuing his talk about his new crush. Alice or whatever. She was hot and all, but I just don't like pixies.
"She did the funniest thing. When you and Bella left, she was like "And then there were two!" And he burst out laughing. I didn't quite find it funny, and it didn't really matter. I was much too distracted thinking about Bella.
"We should go out with the girls, tonight." I said interrupting Jasper mid sentence. He just smiled and nodded.
"Yeah! We can go to dinner and then the movies." He said. Was he glowing? Seconds later he was dialing Alice's new number. 2. Enter. Speed dial. I wasn't even on his speed dial.
He was acting like a teenage girl.
"Hey, Alice." He said. I listened to him talk wishing desperately I could hear the other side of the conversation.
"Yeah, I miss you too. Yeah.. I was just calling to see if you and Bella wanted to go to the movies then dinner with me and Edward? Really? Really! Okay, sweet. See you at six? Okay. Bye!" And he hung up.
We proceeded to get ready. It didn't take me long, but Jasper had to shower, new clothes –a suit might I add-, and borrow some of my shoes. I just changed into a tee shirt and pants.
Picking up the girls took almost another half hour, because Alice wasn't quite ready. When they were done, Alice was hopping and skipping to us, pulling the sluggish, resisting Bella along.
Bella tried her hardest to keep her eyes off of me, but every time her eyes met my skin she blushed and looked back down. It made me happy to know I had this effect on her.
"Me and Alice can take my car, because I have to go get something from the store real quick. Edward, you and Bella can take your car." Jasper said and Alice and him ran off quickly. Bella gaped.
"What!? Alice, wait!" She screamed, but they were gone. She just stood, frozen.
When she finally turned around she didn't even try to fake a smile. The disappointment was written all over her face in a scowl. I just smiled and winked. That only caused a groan and few stomps away from me.
"This way, baby. I'll show you to my car." I purred and she was silent. She walked behind me until we got to my silver Volvo. She ran over to the passenger side and jumped in. I got in the front and started the car.
The music started playing and Bella stiffened.
"I know this song." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"It's not uncommon, really. It's just not.. popular." I said and reached to change the song but Bella's hand grabbed mine quickly. I turned towards her and smiled brightly. She blushed and pulled her hand back like mine was a snake about to strike. She held it to her chest and looked out the window. De Bussy continued to ring through the car. When it played Bella seemed ten times calmer.
The car ride was quiet. Once I tried putting one of my hands on the back of Bella's seat, and the look she gave me was probably meant to be scary, but I felt extremely turned on. It was half between a scowl, and a glare.
"So, you a virgin?" I asked casually. Bella stiffened and reddened immediately.
"That is none of your business!" She hissed and I chuckled.
"I'll take that as a yes." I confirmed and she sighed. A few minutes later she talked again.
"How about you? Are you a v-…" She tried but couldn't finish. I laughed loudly and my head craned back. She panicked first about my eyes off the road, but shut up again afterwards.
"Never mind. I already know the answer." She mumbled under her breath and I stopped laughing. The rest of the time we didn't talk.
Until the car decided now was the time to break down.
"You stupid, egotistic, ugh!" She moaned throwing her hands up in the air. She stomped around outside and I leaned up against the hood.
"Guess we're stuck." I pointed out the obvious. Bella looked over at me like I was an idiot.
"I am not testy." I chuckled again.
"That's it?" I asked. She nodded and concentrated on breathing.
"I'm calling Alice." She announced and pulled her phone out. She opened it and yelled. I jumped slightly, and stared.
"No service!" She yelled again.
I ruffled my messy hair and looked down the road.
"We're about three miles from town. We can walk, or wait for a car to drive by and help." I said opening my phone to check the time. 5:38. Perfect.. Bella was silent beside me. I turned to look and gasped. She was already about twenty yards ahead, walking the wrong way.
"You're going the wrong way." I said just loud enough for her to hear. She stopped dead in her tracks and huffed before turning back around. Then she stomped off the other way.
I ran after her in a rush and grabbed her arm. She didn't even shake it off. She stopped immediately and stared down at the ground.
It took me a second to realize she was crying. Silent tears rolled down her cheeks and I dropped my hand off of her shoulder. I was never good with tears.
"Err.. You okay?" I asked and she let out a half cry, half laugh. It wasn't a real laugh, though. It sounded more like a huff or a cough.
"I'm perfect. Never been better." She said and acid dripped from her words. I shifted to my other foot.
"Okay. I was worried you were upset or something."
Bella's point of view:"Okay. I was worried you were upset or something." He said and shrugged. More tears fell, but they were angry tears. Why had I ever agreed to come out with Alice? With him.
"Idiot." I huffed and he stiffened. I turned away sharply and started running as fast as I could from him. I don't know why, I just did. I don't know why I ever thought he sounded cute.
Or looked cute.. Or why I liked his soft, messy, bronze hair. Or his deep green eyes. His velvet voice.
"Stop!" I yelled to myself and kept running.
Me being me… I tripped and fell down onto my hands, scraping them in the process. I got back up though and ran faster towards no where. I wasn't really going somewhere, just away from Edward.
I didn't hear any sound behind me so I stopped running for a few short seconds to check. I didn't want to risk a glance back. Still nothing. I looked around and I was standing beside a road and there weren't any cars, but there were plenty of leaves flying around in the air.
Without even thinking, I began to walk down the road towards nowhere in particular again. And I kept walking.
And walking..
And walking some more..
Until I saw a car speeding down the road towards me. I panicked at first, hoping to God it wasn't a silver Volvo. My heart went back to it's original rhythm when I noted that it was an old Volkswagen Rabbit.
It passed by quickly, sending leaved flying into the air. My hair blew around wildly and whipped against my face. I sighed, but stopped early when the car skidded to a stop and backed up. The passenger side window rolled down and a boy with long black hair smiled at me.
"Hey, beautiful. What are you doing walking all alone on an abandoned road like this?" He asked and his eyes roamed my body. "And dressed like that?"
I quickly looked down at my clothes. They looked fine, besides a few stains from the mud I'd tripped in. I sighed.
"Car broke down." I said simply. The boy smiled and his face brightened dramatically.
"Need a ride somewhere?" He asked and I stopped fiddling. A hand came from behind him and smacked him hard on the back of the head.
"Ow!" He complained. I stopped breathing all together.
"Sorry.." The boy in the drivers seat said. I couldn't quite see him, but I could tell by his husky, deep voice it was definitely a guy. I stuttered.
"I don't know.." I whispered and the door in the back opened. Three people in the car?
"Come on, there's plenty of room!" A third boy said.
I was about to deny when I heard somebody yelling my name.
"Bella! Come back here! You can't walk all the way to Port Angeles!" Edward yelled.
I was frightened, but did I really have a choice?
Without saying another word, I walked cautiously to the back door. I hopped in and my eyes automatically went to the boy sitting next to me. Or should I say, the man. Maybe my age?
"Hi, I'm Quil!" The guy exclaimed as I shut the door and extended his hand. I took it quickly and shook it with a lot of force.
"Drive." I ordered and the guys exchanged a look, but drove anyways. We passed Edward and his face looked betrayed. I smiled.
"Psycho boyfriend?" The guy in the passenger seat asked. He chuckled but threw his hand towards me. "Embry. Embry Call."
I shook his hand, and smiled. I was in a much better mood now. Still frightened, but I was fine. Where was I even going?
I stole a glance at the driver through the mirror and regretted it. He was looking directly at me. I blushed and bowed my head. I saw Quil and Embry exchange a look and chuckle.
"I'm Jacob." The driver said casually. I just nodded and twisted my fingers between one another. "Um.." He hesitated. I finally looked up. "You never said where you were heading."
I didn't speak, because I didn't really know where I was going. I sure as hell wasn't going back to Edward.. I shuttered at just the idea, but my heart made a painful jump in my chest. No. Stop. I ordered it to myself.
"Err.. Where were you guys going?" I asked and wondered if I was being too nosy. Was it okay to ask that? I guess so, because all three of the boys smiled. Jacob's larger than the others.
"Our friends Emily and Sam are having a bonfire. Scary stories and all." Jacob said and rolled his eyes. Then he frowned and pursed his lips, blushing under his skin. "Want to come..?" He all but whispered.
I blushed too, but nodded. Better than with Edward..
And there I was. In a car, surrounded by strangers. Boys, at that matter. Heading off to their place, or should I say, friends place. Away from Alice and Jasper. Away from the abandoned car. And more importantly, away from Edward Masen!
And there we go. I know it's pretty
fast, but what can I say? She wanted away from Edward and Jacob
offered her a ride. To a house of strangers,
but... Review!!
"You're really pretty." He said like a seven year old. I couldn't help but giggle. Yes, giggle!
"Thanks. You're cute, too." I said and blushed. I felt so comfortable around him. And I've only known him for a few hours.
"Can I call you sometime?" He asked breaking the silence. I blushed a deeper red but nodded. He smiled warmly.
Butterflies assaulted my stomach and I giggled again.
Then my phone rang.
