To The Beginning
When I wake up again I'm in my bed at Charlie's. My eyes open warily as I take in the scene of my bedroom.
Oh no.
By the open suitcase on the floor by my bed, the dust covering the desk and the old childish pictures of my own hand littering the walls, its clear I've been sent back to the beginning.
Sighing, I turn on the ancient computer sitting under my desk and stare blankly at the date.
Yep, first day of school. Again... Again..?
"Bella?" Charlie asks as he knocks on my door, making me groan.
"Yeah dad?" I reply, turning to see him standing by the door.
"You better get ready for school," Charlie smiles, "Don't want to be late on your first day!"
"Okay dad," I smile slightly. This is the third "First day of school" I've had here so far. I haven't been late the last two times, so I doubt I'll be late today.
After getting dressed and grabbing my bag, I walk out the door to my truck without eating breakfast. As much as I used to love this thing, right now all I want to do I whack it with one of the metal baseball bats the Cullens used to play baseball with.
I miss my vampire family.
Like before, my eyes spot Jasper walking to the office as I get out of the vehicle at the school. Smiling at the thought of Jasper and I's friendship I jog to get to the office.
"Jasper Whitlock, ma'am," Jasper smiles. "I just moved here from Texas."
Well, no shit Sherlock.
"Ah well, we have a new girl coming in today too," Ms Cope informs my brother.
"That would be me," I try to say it as I did the first time this happened, but the words just seem to come out in one long, suppressed sigh.
Jasper turns to me and says, "And what the might your name be, pretty lady?"
"Bella Swan," I say, smiling as I shake his hand.
As he lets go of my hand Jasper lets a confused look dominate his expression. "Have we met before?" He asks. "Only, your name and face seem familiar."
They are! I want to whine at him, but I just smile politely.
"You seem upset," Jasper comments.
"I'm sorry, you just remind me of my old friend in Phoenix. He died about a year ago," I lie, glad I'm not still the worst liar ever.
"Oh, well, I'm sorry," Jasper smiles sincerely, and I return it without thinking.
"Here are your schedules," Ms Cope says before we leave the office.
I glance down at mine and find it to be the same as my very first day here. Why do have bioligy; I thought the Volturi were keeping Edward and I apart.
Oh yeah, I'm the one being punished.
I look at Jasper's timetable to see it the same aa before. Great, maths first!
We walk to stand in the line to the class. Once we go in Jasper and I are assigned the same seats as before, and having already gone through this lesson I let myself get lost in my thoughts.
By the looks of it Rosalie is just as snobby as before. Great.
At lunch I sit next to Jasper and say, "Hey Jazz." Like the last time.
Relief clouds his expression as he pushes one of the trays of food in front of him to me, "I hope you don't mind."
"Of course not," I smile, the sight of Jasper attacking a sandwhich will never cease to amaze me. Taking out my phone I take a video of it, laughing silently. If any of them end up remembering, or this curse breaks and we find ourselves vampires, then this will be amusing.
"So what do you think of Rosalie?" I tease, knowing the answer. If we get out of this curse then I can't wait to see her reaction to this. "I saw you eyeing her in math."
"She seems too snobby for me," Jasper admits, and I can't contain my laugh. "But there is one girl in my Art class..." I film Jazz as he points across the room, them turn to film Alice sitting with her friends.
"PIANO PLAYING FREAK!" I hear and I turn to film Emmett punching Edward. Esme would love to see this.
Esme...
A new cloud of sadness almost overwhelms me as I look at Emmett, because all I can see is the figure who was chained to a wall, bleeding, next to his immortal father.
I make my way to bioligy in a catatonic state; I know Edward will be there.
God I hate the Volturi.
When I am told to sit next to Edward I sigh. Before I didn't allow myself to talk to him because I feared the heartbreak of him not knowing me would be too much for me to bear.
Now though, the heartbreak is unavoidable.
I listen carefully to the register, hoping there won't be any other clueless relatives in this class to torture me.
As the register gets closer to the end I breath a sigh of relief; only Edward can torture me in this lesson.
Until I hear the last name.
"Vanessa Wolfe."
OH COME ON! THANKS A LOT ARO!
Why does Aro want to torture me so much?
"Today we will be doing a practical," Mr Banner announces. Yes, a practical I've done THREE TIMES! "And as Miss Wolfe doesn't have a partner I would like her to join Mr Masen and Miss Swan at the front."
Oh this just gets better and better.
Not that I don't want to sit next to my daughter, its not that. Its just I'd rather sit next to Renesmee Cullen, not Vanessa Wolfe.
Not much happens during the lesson. I avoid speaking to the two as much as possible, although I'm pleased to see that even in this life Edward is still protective of 'Vanessa.'
Things to do:
Get on with my life.
Its the only thing I can do right now.
