A/N Wow, thanks so much for all the feedback for the last chapter. I loved how all of you loved that Edward is a grumpy old man. So thanks you again and here is Chapter 4…
Bella POV
The bell went and for once I was actually happy about my last two periods. Music. I had double music and for that I was happy.
I walked up the stairs and down the halls until I got Mr Kelly's music class. I stood next to Angela and we started talking about nothing really.
"So, what is it you're doing right now? In my school we were working on making our own piece of music" I asked her
"We're doing that as well. I've nearly finished mine but I still have stuff to do on it" Angela said
I turned my head slightly and saw Alice and Eddie walking down the hall
"Please tell me both of them aren't in this class" I groaned and Angela just laughed at me
"Sadly both of them are, sorry" Angela said smiling
"But why?" I cried and put my head on her shoulder making her laugh
"Get over it, you won't even notice they're there. It's not like they talk to anyone else anyway" Angela laughed
"You better be telling the truth" I said and she rolled her eyes
We walked into the class and just like every other fucking class the only spare seat was with the lovely Cullens.
I walked over, catching Angela trying to hold back her laughter at my look of disgust, and sank down into my seat in the middle of Alice and Edward. Why was there a seat in the middle that was empty?!
"Hello Isabella" Edward greeted me, he really wanted to have a personal meeting with my boot didn't he?
"Hey Eddie" I said and Alice started laughing, even her fucking laugh was perfect!
"So you're the Bella that's been driving my brother crazy" Alice stated in a little high-pitched voice that normally I would of found annoying but with her it just kind of suited her
"Aww, you been talking about me Eddie?" I teased
"My name is Edward" Edward growled at me, yes I said growled
"I'll call you Edward when you call me Bella" I stated and he rolled his eyes
I turned to the teacher when he told us to do our work.
I pulled my bag out from underneath my desk and started going through the many sheets of paper with music on it.
"Did you wrote all those?" Eddie asked me
"Yeah" I answered and started adding and erasing a few notes here and there to make it sound better
"Can I see that one?" He asked looking at the music i had written.
"Um, yeah I guess" Truth was I never really let anyone see my music other than teachers, family and Paul, Leah and the guys. So letting Edward see it was a very big step for me. You know the way you get when someone takes your phone and then you automatically turn into a ninja to try and get your phone back? Yeah, that's what I'm like when someone takes a sheet of my own music.
He looked at it intently and it took all my strength and resistance to not just rip the sheet out of his hands
"Play it" He said handing me the sheet back and looking at me as if he thought I wasn't going to do it. Truthfully I didn't. I didn't want to sit in front of the entire class at the piano and sing my song in front of the entire class.
"Fine, I'll play it" I said quite proud of myself that my voice didn't show how nervous I was.
I stood up and walked down to the front of the class where the piano sat. Who puts a piano at the front of the class?!
"And you need to sing" Edward added just as I was about to start. I snapped my head in his direction and automatically wanted to slap that fucking cocky smirk right off his face
"Fine" I'm going to run him over with my bike
I tried to calm down and make my hands not shake as I placed them on top of the keys. I could feel everyone's stare on my especially the stares of Alice and Edward making the hairs on my neck stand up.
I can do this. I cut off Cara Taylor's ponytail for Christ sake!

I finished the song but didn't lift my head up afraid of everyone's reaction. The room was completely silent. So I did what I did best. I broke the silence
"There you go Eddie" I said and everyone started laughing and clapping.
I stood up and walked back over to my desk tapping Edwards chin up as I walked past him
"You'll catch flies" I whispered in his ear with a smirk and Alice laughed
"Did you write that?" Edward asked apparently this was really shocking to him
"Yeah I did" I answered and then the teacher started walking over to me, great let's see how much trouble I'll get in for doing absolutely nothing!
"Isabella, where did you get that music from?" Mr Kelly asked me
"I wrote it" I told him and the shock on his face made me want to laugh
"Oh" Was his reply before he turned and walked back to his desk and started typing away on his computer
"You know you and Edward have a lot in common" Alice stated and we both snapped our heads to her. Was she fucking insane?!
"I'll crack the jokes" I said and she rolled her eyes
"We are nothing alike Alice" Edward growled, what was with him and growling?! Seriously don't animals do that?!
Alice just got that weird knowing smile and said, "Trust me, you'll see"
I stared at her, again with the weird!
"What do you mean 'you'll see'? See what?" I asked getting really confused
"Alice, stop talking, you're not being human" Edward spat at her before standing up and walking out of the class.
'You're not being human'?! 'You'll see'?! 'Emmett doesn't understand the damage a car can do to a human'?!
What was wrong with these people?!
I stood up and walked across the class and sat down next to Angela who looked up and smiled at me
"Bella, that was really good, I didn't know you could play like that never mind sing" Angela said happily but I wasn't really listening. I was sitting staring at Alice who was currently staring into space, looking like she was completely dis-connected from the world.
Every single thing about the Cullen's freaked me out. If it wasn't their beauty, it was the way they spoke and if it wasn't the way they spoke it was the way they acted. They were so fucking graceful it just couldn't be normal.
"Bella you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost" Angela asked worriedly
"Um, no I'm fine" I said peeling my gaze away from Alice
We sat and talked for the rest of the two periods. We helped each other out with writing our own music. Edward never came back to class after he left. I wondered why but I made myself not think about it too much. It wasn't my concern.
The thing that annoyed me about music class was that it always seemed to go in really quickly.
The bell went and I walked back over to my desk and grabbed my bag.
"Bella, I'm sorry about my brother" Alice said
"Are you going to apologise on his behalf?" I asked remembering what she said earlier about Emmett
"No, I'm going to let Edward do the apologising, the reason he acted like that with you was because he's jealous" Alice said and started walking out of class and I walked beside her
"What do you mean jealous?" I asked
"He thinks of music the way you do. A passion" Alice said with a smirk and I froze. There was absolutely no way she could know I thought of music that way. The only people that knew I thought of music that way was the people in La Push.
I stood frozen staring at her. She turned around so she was walking backwards
"Bye Bella" Alice said with that same smirk and then she was gone
I felt like my stomach was at my feet and my heart was in my throat. How could she know that?! No one outside La Push would know that!
I felt sick. There was something really wrong about these people.
I walked down the halls and stairs trying to keep my lunch down. How could she know I thought of music as my passion? Why did they keep saying human as if they weren't even that?
I got to my locker and with a shaky hand I put the combination in and dumped my text books into it and pulled my jacket and helmet out.
I put my bag on the floor and pulled my jacket on. There were hardly any people left in the halls now as everyone had gone outside. I looked up and saw Emmett and Jasper walking down the hall laughing at something.
The sickness I was feeling seemed to increase at the sight of them and I hurriedly tried to zip my jacket up and close my locker.
But me being my lovely clutzy self when I tried to do something in a hurry I ended up spilling the remaining sheets of paper out of my bag.
"Shit" I breathed and started to pick them up and put them in my bag. Way to go Bella!
"You alright?" Jasper asked handing me some of the papers, do not be sick! Do not be sick!
I looked up and took the papers out of his hand and put them in my bag
"Thanks" I mumbled
"What's up? You look kind of sick?" Jasper asked
I stood up and closed my locker and slung my bag over my shoulder
"I'm fine" I stated, I was about to walk away but I caught Jasper's eyes that were black but they were now the weird artificial gold. What the fuck was wrong with these people?!
"Bella?" Emmett asked and I shook my head
"Bye" I said and grabbed my helmet off the floor before walking out of the school and taking a deep breath trying to cslm down.
I should just stay away from them. Stay as far away from them as humanly possible. There was something wrong with them. My mind screamed at me.
I walked across the car park and saw Rosalie standing with some other people around my bike. I stood next to Mike who was standing with his jaw on the floor.
"You alright Mike?" I asked
"It's beautiful" Mike breathed and I rolled my eyes, I know
"Thanks" I said and got on my bike and pulled my helmet on.
Everyone started to turn and walk away from me as I started the engine but not Rosalie she stood staring at the bike and me. Like Jaspers earlier her eyes were black wit the gold trying to shine through. The same sick feeling started rise again so I quickly pulled out of the car park and headed home.
I just wanted to put as much distance between me and the Cullen's as I could.
When I crossed the border into La Push I instantly felt better. I pulled into the driveway and then the garage and sighed.
Yup, definitely feel better. I pulled my helmet off and walked into my home.
Paul POV
I sat on the porch steps with my head in my hands. I couldn't fucking believe him! How could he fucking do this?!
My hand was throbbing from hitting Jared earlier. The only way I managed to stop was by Quil, Jake and Embry pulling me off him and A LOT of use of Bella's name.
Bella.
I would do fucking anything for that girl. They guy's and Leah all found it weird that I would fuck so many girls and never have a girlfriend. Bella was that reason.
I would do anything for her. The only girl I wanted was her but I would never do anything about that because she thought of me as her big brother and let's face it that would just make things extremely awkward. So I didn't do anything about it. I kept my mouth shut.
My hand was fucking fucked up because I punched Jared. Had to get it wrapped up and shit. On top of that I also had a black eye. I really hated that prick.
I heard Bella's bike coming down the street and I knew she would be over in a minute. She would be pissed when I told her.
I heard her before I saw her. I heard her combat boots thumping on the ground as she made her way up my path. I didn't bother lifting my head. She would be pissed about my hand, I would save the eye for a little minute or two.
"Hey Lahote, I get you missed me and everything but you don't need to sit out here and cry about it" She joked. If only she knew the real reason I was sitting out here with my head in my hands.
When I didn't say anything she sat down next to me
"Hey, what's up?" She asked, "What happened to your hand?" She asked me taking my bandaged up hand in hers
"I punched Jared" I told her without looking at her, not ready to show her the eye, she would kill him.
"Wow, I always knew he had a solid head but this is just a new extreme" She said and I laughed, even when I was like this Bells could make me, she was the only one who could.
"Paul, what's wrong?" Bella asked me, how the fuck could she do that?!
"Nothin'" I lied
"Look at me and say that" She said and I felt sick. She really would be pissed
I turned my head slowly and looked at her and she gasped.
"Who the fuck did that to you?! Was it Jared?" She asked, here goes nothing
"Dad" I said and she stared at me
"Your dad?" She asked. My dad hadn't been here since I was three yup 16 years he had been gone and the first day he sees me he gives me a black eye because I told him to get out of my fucking house
"Yeah, he's back" I said
"And he hit you?" Bella asked
"Yeah" I said reluctantly
"I'm to fucking kill him" She stated and before I could stop her she was already banging open the front door and storming down the hall. Shit!
"Bella!" I shouted and stood up
"Who the fuck do you think you are?!" She screamed at my dad who was currently sitting at the kitchen table with a bottle of beer, great drunk dad and pissed Bella this was gonna go down good!
"Excuse me?!" My dad slurred and stood up
"Bells, calm down" I said and tried to pull her down the hall but she wasn't for moving
"You haven't been here for sixteen years and the first day you're here you punch him, what the fuck's wrong with you?!" She shouted at him
"You will not come into my home-!"
"You're home?!" She cut him off, "This isn't your home! You haven't been here for sixteen fucking years!"
I saw my dad lift his hand but before he could even touch her I had Bella behind me and he ended up slapping me instead, fuck right on my black eye!
"Get out of my house" My dad spat at me, literally spat at me, fucking prick!
And what did my mum do? She sat and watched! I rather she did that, I didn't want her to get hurt but she could fucking do something!
I turned around and grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her down the hall
"Come on" I said and slammed the front door shut
Bella then pulled me down my path and into her drive and threw me one of the two bike helmets at me. I looked at her confused.
"I promised you I would let you ride it since you couldn't ride yesterday with everyone there" Bella said and I smiled.
I realised something then. As much as I would fight for her and try and protect her and everything, she would do the exact thing for me. She stood up to a fuck six foot two alcoholic because he gave me a black eye for fuck sake!
"Thanks" I said and she shrugged her shoulders
"It's not like this is the first time I've let you ride my bike" She said
"I'm not talking about that. He would of hit you Bells" I said and again she shrugged her shoulders
"Worth the hit" She said and I stared at her. Why the fuck did she have to think of me as a fucking brother?!
I didn't say anything to that, just pulled the helmet on and sat on the bike, waiting for her to get on.
She wrapped her arms around my waist and I pulled out of her drive. I already knew where I was going and so did she. Second Beach.
Yes there was first beach but Second beach was quieter and nicer than First. It kind of made me wonder why everyone went to First beach when Second beach was a whole lot fucking nicer.
I pulled into the little car park at the top of the beach and just like every other day it was deserted. Bella got off and I cut the engine handing her the keys.
I got off and pulled my helmet off rubbing my eye
"You alright?" Bella asked
"Fine" I said, no I wasn't it fucking hurt like hell! But I wouldn't tell her that of course.
"You should of just let him hit me" Bella said and I stared at her, was she fucking insane?!
"You know I would never let him hit you" I said as we started walking down the beach to the little spot me and the guys and everyone always sat every time we came here
"At least that way you wouldn't be in anymore pain" Bella said
"So…How was Forks?" I asked and she shuddered, what the fuck?
"Um…Good yeah" Bella said shaking her head as if to clear her head or something
"Meet any new friends" I joked and nudged her
"A few, I missed you guys though" She said nudging me back
"Missed you too, me and Leah had to do all the terrorising of teachers, it's a tiring job for two people" I said and she laughed. Not four, the third got expelled and the fourth had run off. It was just two now but Bella was here now and it was good.
"I feel bad for leaving you guys" Bella said and sat down in the little space we had claimed long ago as ours. I sat down next to her
"You shouldn't, it's not really your fault" I said and she looked at me, "Ok, maybe it is your fault" I said and she laughed
"So, what's the big plans for the weekend Lahote, Saturday tomorrow, go out, get drunk, get laid in that order?" She joked.
That was another reason I didn't want to tell her. I was a well-known man-whore. That's what she saw me as along with everyone else so I didn't want to tell her I liked her like that.
"Don't know, haven't decided yet" I said, I had already decided, I wasn't going to get laid, drunk yes, laid no.
"You want to stay at mine tonight? You know with your dad and everything" Bella asked, I had stayed at her house loads of times before.
Charlie was one of the few parents that liked me. He just had a few 'rules' when it came to me sleeping over, I slept on the air mattress on the floor even though Bells a very comfy double bed that would fit both of us and we had to keep the bedroom door open.
"Yeah, I've been missing that old air mattress" I said sarcastically and she laughed
"I knew you loved that piece of shit" Bella laughed and I joined in
"Shut up, Charlie won't mind will he?" I asked her even though I knew the answer
"Nah, it's Friday so he has no reason to be, he may ask about the eye though" Bella said nervously and I nodded my head
"I'll just tell him I got in a fight at school or something" I said
"He doesn't know about Jared" Bells told me
"You didn't tell him?" I asked her, she told her dad fucking everything and even if she didn't he could at least work it out
"No, I didn't really want to and I guess I was kind of hoping Jared would come to his sense and apologise to you today" Bella said looking at the sand
"He's a dick" I stated and Bella looked up and froze. I couldn't see what she was seeing right now because of when I was sitting but whatever it was it must have been bad as all the colour drained from her face
"Bells, what's wrong?" I asked her
"He's right over there…With Kim" Bella said and shook her head before standing up, "Let's just go" Bella sighed
I stood up
"No, he's got enough time for Kim but he's not for us, that's fucking shit Bells" I said and walked past her but she jumped in front of me, from here I could see him, he didn't look like he had even noticed us, he was smiling down at Kim like she was the only thing in the entire world.
"Paul, just leave it, please" Bella said
"Bella, it's fucking shit"
"I know it is but you already have a fucked up hand do you really want any more body parts fucked up?" Bella asked
I looked up and saw Jared looking at me with complete and utter sadness. Good! He should be fucking sad! He lost me as a friend! I am a fucking great friend!
I sighed and took Bella's hand in my non-wrapped up one and we walked back down the beach.
That air mattress sounds pretty good after seeing Jared and getting beat up by my dad.
A/N Awww poor Paul. I just want to hug him! So, what the fuck is up with Eddie?! Alice is just being a weirdo right now, I think we should find some more stuff out. Well we shall! If you know, you review that is!x
