Chapter 4- Avoided

I woke up early the next day at four in the morning or so the clock said. I didn't want to go back to bed because I simply wasn't tired anymore so I sat up in the dark room. "Morning Bella! What are you doing up so early?" I heard Alice's peppy voice say.

"I could ask you the same question but I just woke up because I wasn't tired anymore. I'm not going back to sleep either," I said getting out of the covers. I was impossibly hot right now. How much did they have their heater on? "Um do you mind if I have a human moment?"

Alice got what I meant immediately and said, "Sure but wait I have clothes I want you to wear." Alice gave me a Rock and Republic denim mini skirt and a black tank top that said 'wanted' across the top of it.

I went into the bathroom, put my clothes down, and went into the shower. If it weren't for Alice, I would have taken a much longer shower than ten minutes, but she yelled at me for taking too long.

I got dressed as quickly as I could in my own underwear, thankfully not a thong, and into the way too short designer skirt now that I looked at them and a very revealing top. It was cute but I thought I would wreck these nice clothes. They weren't cheap either.

I came out of the bathroom pulling on the shirt a bit and asked, "Are these clothes for Edward too?" Alice smiled family love entering her eyes. She just nodded.

After a couple of seconds she answered, "Yeah they're for Edward because he was so lonely when he lived with us alone and without a partner. Now he has you. His soul mate. His love for eternity. And I can't help but make him happy."

Alice put a little bit of makeup on me, which made me not look like me at all. I looked beautiful. After that Alice attempted making me breakfast but that wasn't such a good idea. It tasted awful. Alice and I agreed that I would make my own food from now on.

I was finishing my breakfast when all the Cullen's crowded into the kitchen all at once. "Wow do you all wake up and come down at the same time?" I asked trying to suppress my laughter.

"Well…um," started Esme, the mom in the family.

"Don't worry I was just trying to give you a bad time," I said laughing. After I got all my laughter out I asked, "What time is it?"

"About seven-twenty," said Emmett in a calm voice.

"What? We're going to be late! Alice come on let's go now!" I said pulling her out of the house a fit of laughter following me.

"Relax Bella we won't be late," said Alice slowing me down. "If you really want we can run. I'll tell Jasper to take your car."

"Okay let's run," I said as Alice grabbed me and put me on her back. We ran and I made sure to close my eyes this time so I wouldn't have to be motion sick. We got there in less than a minute and I was thankful. Anymore of the vampire speed was going to scar me for life. "Alice you are my savior. Now let's get to class."

The whole entire time at school Edward avoided me and never once did he speak to me. I longed to hear his velvety voice reserved for my ears only. If I sat down in the back, Edward sat on the opposite side of me more or less. Edward didn't even take one glance at what I was wearing. That just made me more miserable.

I was depressed that he wouldn't speak to me. I wasn't in the mood for talking even if it was to Jasper and Alice. Alice understood so she tried to refrain from talking to me as much as she could while hounding Edward mentally on why he wouldn't speak to me and complement me on my clothes.

By the end of school, I found my car in the parking lot, courtesy of Jasper and went straight home. I sped through the streets and didn't see the car coming straight at me. I stopped the breaks but still hit the car pretty hard. I hurt my arm really bad and I hit my head on the glass of my window.

I got out of the car feeling dizzy the other car had already taken off. A hit and run. Wow so nice. I got up. I could walk the rest of the way; Charlie's house was pretty close, I could make it. As I walked through the streets it started to rain making me rub my arms as goose bumps immediately appeared on my skin. This was the worst day of my life.

I got home late at night because I had to take a lot of breaks on the way. When I breathed it hurt and so I couldn't get a lot of oxygen. I hurt all over, that was an understatement. I was in pain but my arm hurt the most I think it was broken. At home Charlie immediately hugged me tight. "Ow!" I cried out and reached to my arm.

"What happened Bella? You're all beat up," said Charlie a phone already in hand ready to call an ambulance.

"Dad it's nothing. I promise. I fell down. No big deal," I insisted, "Now Dad I'm tired, I'm going to bed." I hated lying to Charlie but I didn't want to deal with the hospital this late at night; I was tired. I walked upstairs to my bedroom and lay down. That night I didn't get any sleep. Every time I moved, it hurt my arm so I refrained myself to sitting in my rocking chair.

In the morning, I went to the bathroom to take a shower after Charlie left. It hurt to move any part of my arm so I only used my right arm to do everything. It was very hard especially for a klutz like me.

I walked to school early so I would get there on time. I met up with Alice and she gave me a big hug when she saw the small cuts on my face and the bruises on my arms. She believed that I fell. "Alice that hurts."

"Bella! Your arm's broken! We are going to the hospital right now," said Alice going to the attendance office. "Bella needs to be excused for the day. She has a broken arm. I'm going to take her to the hospital." The attendant just nodded and Alice guided me to her car.

Getting to the hospital, we went straight to Carlisle. "Carlisle, Bella needs to have a check up. She has a broken arm and bruises everywhere," said Alice handing me over to Carlisle.

I sat patiently on the bed and Carlisle got my arm in a cast. Then he treated the cuts I had. When Carlisle looked at my stomach though he saw a big bruise on my stomach. When he touched it I winced. "Bella you were really hurt. You are going to need to stay here. I need to run some more tests to make sure there isn't any internal damage."

Carlisle put in a vaccine that made me go to sleep; now I wouldn't have to worry about being uncomfortable. I closed my eyes and fell asleep seeing I had no choice in the matter anyways.

I woke up and it was dark. It was night. I looked around me and thought I saw Edward's auburn hair but when I blinked it was gone. No he would be avoiding me. He wouldn't be here. He probably didn't even know that I was hurt. Carlisle wouldn't reveal my status to his son anyway. Edward's probably too busy doing other things, whatever else vampires do.

"Bella! You're awake!" Alice exclaimed running to me and throwing her arms around me in a big hug. It would have been perfect to make me feel better but I still had a lot of bruises. I winced and Alice pulled away immediately. "Sorry Bella. I forgot you're really fragile lately."

"That's fine Alice. I'm okay. I just want to get home. You have no idea how much I hate hospitals. They smell bad and it's just…disgusting. No offence," I said getting out of the bed. I looked down but what I was wearing wasn't mine. "Alice where are my clothes?"

"Oh well…I got you new ones," said Alice holding up a pair of normal pajamas. Not like the sexy red nightgown she gave me last time. Now they were just a pair of grey sweats and a white tank top. I loved Alice.

Alice and I walked out of the hospital and headed to her car since my car seems to be totaled. We weren't going to my house or so it seemed. "Alice where are we going? My house is in the other direction."

"Oh well I figured you could stay at my house since Carlisle is a doctor. I already called your dad and he said that would be fine," said Alice not taking her eyes off the road to which I was grateful. She usually looked at me for long periods of time without even caring to what was in front of her. It scared me but only a little.

"That sounds good but Edward is going to be there. He hasn't talked to me at all today and it is really making me frustrated. I want to see him," I said in a childish manner. Alice just laughed and kept on driving. We got to her house soon after and went into the house.

I didn't see Edward at all the rest of the evening. Alice gave me a list of my homework, which I did quickly. It was all easy stuff. I learned most of the stuff already in my other school in Las Vegas.

I went to bed sad and stressed. I wanted Edward to talk to me so much. I missed it when he would try to bite me. I missed the way he would make me feel. I wanted him to at least give an explanation to me but I already knew what it was. I just wanted him to tell me in person.
