AN-Sorry this took so long, but homecomming is comming up and I got asked so I've been trying to figure that out haha. I know what your thinking, what kind of lame excuse is homcomming, but I'm just a silly freshman who gets overly excited about lame things. haha. Enjoy chapter 6!!
Disclaimer- I would like you all to know that I don't own Twilight, and if I did all my readers would get a little piece of it for their own!!
I woke up and felt the sheets around my head wet with the sweat that was dripping from my face. I sat up and looked at the clock. It was six thirty. I sat up and looked outside my window where rain fell in a quite pitter patter against the pavement.
"Bells are you okay" Charlie asked knocking on my door.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I said putting my head between my knees. I heard the squeak of my door as Charlie opened it and stepped in.
"Are you sure?" he asked putting a cold hand on my back. "You're shaking Bella" he said concern frosting his words.
"I-I'm fine, I just had a bad dream is all" I said looking up at him, a small smile on my face. He smiled sadly back at me.
"Well, I was supposed to go to Billy's tonight but I can call and cancel" he said. I shook my head.
"No, it's fine" I said. I knew that Charlie would have more fun watching football with Billy than spending the evening here.
"Okay Bells, but I'm just a phone call away" he said. "But I got to head off to work I'll see you later" he said kissing the top of my head before leaving me alone.
And the World is made of energy, and the world is possibility.
I didn't bother to look at the caller ID before I answered it.
"Hello" I answered.
"Hello Bella" I heard his voice say. My whole body tensed up. I tried to find my voice but each time I tried to speak nothing came out. "Bella are you there?" he asked his silky voice ringing in my ears.
"J-James, why are you calling me" I asked my body shaking.
"I miss you baby" he said, I could see the cocky smile forming on his lips. "I want you to come back home, and be with me" he said.
"I-I have to go" I said hanging up the phone. I couldn't breathe. Why was he calling me? I couldn't deal with him anymore. I stood up and pulled some cloths on before brushing my hair and my teeth, James voice still playing in my head. There was knock on my door as I grabbed my keys off the kitchen table. I went to answer it hesitant about who it could be. With a shaky hand I reached for the handle and slowly pulled it open.
"Hey Bell" it was Edward and he stopped when he saw me. "Are you okay" he asked looking at me, a deep worry in his eyes. I looked at him, and saw the heavy bags under his eyes.
"Are you okay" I returned still looking at him, his eyes were blood shot and he looked like he hadn't slept well at all.
"I'm fine plus I asked you first. Your all pale Bella" he said looking down. "And look you your whole body is shaking. What happened" he asked me stepping over the threshold.
"I-I'm fine. Is there a reason that you're here?" I asked him.
"I wanted to know if you wanted a ride to school, but now I just want to know what happened" he said not taking his eyes from me.
"I would love a ride to school thank you" I said stepping out the door and walking over to Volvo parked on the street by my house.
"Bella, talk to me" he said running after me as I reached his car.
"I am talking to you. You have nothing to worry about" I said putting a smile on my face. As I reached to open the door Edwards hand beat mine and he pulled it open for me. I stepped in muttering a small thanks to him. Edward walked around to the other side of the car and climbed in starting the car and driving in the direction of the school. His hands gripped the wheel tightly, and I noticed he wasn't blinking.
"Are you okay Edward" I asked him. He thought I was being weird, I was the one who should be worried, he looked like he wasn't sleeping, and he looked as though he might snap at any moment.
"I'm fine Bella" he said curtly. I frowned.
"Okay, you just look, distraught is all" I said looking down into my lap. He sighed.
"I'm sorry Bella, your right, I just haven't been sleeping well" he said. I looked up into his eyes and saw pain, and longing. I wanted nothing more than to help him. To fill his eyes with light, and joy.
"Why don't you talk to me about it" I reasoned with him.
"Why don't you talk to me" he said. I sighed. I didn't know how to answer this. I mean it would be nice to get it off my chest, but the words to actually say it would just be too hard to speak.
"Because I'm fine" I lied. I could hold it in, I could make it. I hope.
"No Bella, I know that's a lie" he said turning to face me as we parked in the parking lot.
"Well Edward, just talk to me, I know that I'll be okay, but you I'm not so sure" I said not looking up to meet his gaze.
"I'll be fine" he said. I sighed. I didn't want to fight with Edward. I just wanted to go back to laughing.
"Fine, let's just drop it" I said unbuckling my seatbelt, and opening the door. I got out as Edward did and slid my heavy back pack over my back and looked at Edward.
"Fine we'll drop it" he said walking over to me and putting what I could most obviously see was a phony smile on his face.
"So Bella, do you think they'll have found a replacement for Mr. Rast yet?" Edward asked me as we walked to the English building. I smiled at the change of subject.
"Probably not, this job is enough to make anyone go crazy" I said, as Edward let out a forced laugh. We reached the English building and Edward held the door open for me as we walked inside.
"Maybe we'll just be able to use it as a free period until they find a new teacher to teach the class" Edward suggested. I nodded.
"It's very well possible" I replied as we approached the English room and walked inside. There was a new teacher sitting at the desk reading a gossip magazine, as the students around him gossiped about his good looks and charming cloths. Edward and I took a seat in the back of the room, "Who do you think this is?" I asked motioning at the man sitting in the desk.
"Mr. Darcy" he said with a smile.
"And just how do you know that?" I asked, giving him a look that read he could not possibly know that.
"Silly Bella, it's written on the board" he said with a sweet laugh. I looked up at the board and there clear as day read the name Mr. Darcy. I slapped myself mentally before becoming overly excited about the fact that his name was the same as Elizabeth's love from Pride and Prejudice. I just about wanted to squeal. The bell rang to start class and Mr. Darcy stood up and set his magazine on the desk.
"Okay class, today we will be starting a short story unit" he said as the class let out a load groan. "Now, my name is Mr. Darcy" he said flashing a smile. I raised my hand. "Yes Miss" he looked down at a clip board he held in his hands. "Miss Swan" he said flashing me a white smile.
"So you're Mr. Darcy, like the character from Pride and Prejudice" I said smiling, and doing my best not to scream.
"Yes like the character from the book" he said laughing. "Bella. Bella Swan" he scratched the back of his head. "Ahhh, yes. You went out with my cousin James for a while" he said with another laugh. I froze. This was his cousin. My excitement instantly fell.
"Y-yeah, I-I g-guess t-t-that's true" I said looking down.
"Sorry didn't mean to put you on the spot there" he said smiling when I looked back up at him. He continued on with his lesson as I looked back down at my desk. I could feel Edwards's eyes boring into the side of my head, but I didn't dare look up knowing of what he would see in my eyes. The bell rang and I quickly gathered my things, and stood up and waited for Edward to get his stuff, finally having a little control over my emotions.
"Are you okay" he asked as we walked out of the class room. I sighed. I was hoping we had put this behind us. Was I fine? Probably not, but I had only known Edward a few days, I wasn't going to be baring my soul to him.
"Yeah, I'm great" I told him, smiling a weak smile at him, but it would have to do.
"Okay, you just seemed a little, I don't know off" he said trying to smile at me. I laughed a lame laugh.
"You worry too much" I said patting him on the back. "I'll see you later" I said leaving him and heading off to my French class.
…...Later that day…….
Edward met me outside the gym and walked my back to his car. My phone rang. I got a text message. I looked at it.
I'm coming to Forks, for a little visit.
Love,
James
I stopped dead in my tracks. What did he mean he was coming for a visit? No. No he couldn't. I could feel my body start to shake and my knee's turn to jelly. No, no, no! I screamed in my head. Why would he come, and when was he coming.
"Bella" I heard Edward's voice as if it were feet away. Somewhere off on a different planet. I could feel my head shaking back and forth. "Bella?" Edward called again. I felt his firm hands grasp my shoulders.
"No, no, no" I said my head still shaking back in forth.
"What Bella, what's wrong" Edward asked. I couldn't answer him. I couldn't hold my weight anymore. My knee's buckled under me and Edward picked me up in a bridal style hold and walked me to his car. The only thing I could think about was James. What would he do when he came up? Would he do anything to me? What did he want?
AN-Ohhh another cliff hanger!! I'm just evil I know. I hope you guys like it!! I hope y'all will review! And yes I know that is is highly improbable to have a teacher named Mr. Darcy but I have two points on the matter. Point 1. This is fiction. And point 2. Mr. Darcy is a sexy beast who every one should be named after haha. (Yes I am aware I'm random)
