Chapter 7

Bella's Point of View

I couldn't be poor…I was Isabella Marie Swan I thought on the brink of tears. I stalked out of the house heading to the forest. At this point I didn't give a fuck where I went.

Edward's Point of View

As soon as Bella rushed out of that room with Alice in tow I knew there was a problem. I grabbed Alice by the forearm.

"Alice what the Hell did you do?" I asked her

"Something that needed to be done." She said. She pulled out of my grasp and walked away. I went in my room and tossed myself on the bed. It smelled like strawberries with chocolate. It smelled like her.

I got up and got dressed for the day, I couldn't fathom why Alice would do such a thing. This was not the Alice I grew up with. Something was bothering her. It's either that or she's just acting bat shit crazy.

When I went to school I was surprised I didn't see Bella, but what could I expect? If I was a self-absorbed 17 year old girl who just lost a materialistic good that I adored more than anything in the world, I myself would probably light myself on fire. Surprisingly I missed her presence. I guess I needed the constant aggravation from her to keep me sane. Isn't it ironic?

I met Alice by her locker just to walk to lunch. I didn't really have the heart to press her about it.

"So what hap-" I asked being cut off

"What the fuck did you do to Bella? She called me this morning all upset and shit because you quote unquote 'fucked shit up'" Jessica asked pushing her in the process.

"Don't touch me you skank" Alice said pushing her back. By this time we had gathered a crowed. Jessica raised her hand attempted to slap her but I wasn't having that.

"Ladies calm down" I intervened "No need to get hasty" I continued.

"Oh Edward I didn't see you there" Jessica said rubbing her hand up and down my arm. I cringed visibly but I didn't care she was our school hoe so she probably got rejected before.

I grabbed Alice by the arm and dragged her away.

"This isn't over bitch" Jessica said. It took all of my restraint not to slap the shit out of her then and there.

I took Alice outside to get some fresh air and walk off her anger.

"What the hell compelled you to tell Bella she's broke?" so much for not pressing her about it

"I don't know… I just don't like her" she said shrugging.

"Cut the crap Alice. You don't like half the people in this good for nothing town so what makes me believe that you 'just don't like her?'" I asked. She stopped and turned on the brink of the woods.

"That bitch is sketchy; she's self- centered, manipulative, and shallower than a puddle. Out of all people I would expect you to be on my side. Where twins for fuck sake! And you can't do this one thing for me. Seriously Edward." She ranted. I just stalked off into the woods, my silent invitation for her to join me because she was getting loud.

There was an awkward silence as we trudged through the woods.

"Edward…where are you taking me?" she asked exasperated interrupting the silence.

"Just anywhere away from school. You need a clear conscience before you go back to school and commit mass murder." We walked in silence until we reached "The Tree". It was a tree only Alice and I came to. It was a tall tree that was easy to climb and you almost see the whole forest from the top.

We started to climb but Alice stopped halfway claiming she was just too tired to continue. We sat there just talking. it turns out Alice "hates" Bella because Bella just seems like a flip flop. Nice and sweet one day and then stabbing the shit out of you in your back the next.

We started to climb down when Alice grabbed my arm.

"Shit that hurts!" I practically screamed.

"Is that Bella?" She asked a worried expression on her face.

"What are you talking about" I asked. She pointed far off. I had to squint to see her. She was laying on the ground in a shirt and a pair of shorts. I mean it looked like her, same brown hair and even the same cloths she wore the previous night. At that point fear was kicking in. I climbed down and jumped off the tree nearly breaking my neck.

My adrenaline hit me like a train. Especially considering the amount of hate that I have for her. I reached to her in record time, leaning down to examine her. She was pale…well paler than usual because honestly she was pale like shit

That cocky gin that she always seemed to have was gone and the blush in her cheeks were not present. I slapped her face lightly trying to wake her up but she was totally out of it, I checked her pulse rate; it was slow but there.

"Alice we have to get her to a hospital" I said frantically. She rolled her eyes walking away.

"I still don't understand, all this shit because she found out she's broke" Alice screamed practically making a scene in the damn waiting room.

"Shut up Alice." Jasper hissed.

"No I'm not going to shut up. What type of materialistic type shit is that? she's nothing but a spoiled bitch-"

"That's enough!" Carlisle practically screamed. I never saw my dad get that mad before.

"Just go home you're not really wanted here that much." Carlisle said dismissing her. I saw her face break a little but she turned away and walked out of the hospital resignedly.

"Visiting hours will now begin please limit the room capacity to maximum of two people including the patient" the intercom said.

Esme went first, she insisted considering she was the closest thing to a mother figure Bella had. I waited until I was the last to go in. I walked in and smiled when I saw her cocky smile and the blush in her cheeks.

"What are you smiling at Cullen?" she asked tiredly. She looked exhausted. I sat down in the chair beside her.

"So what's wrong with you?" I asked.

"You make me sound like a basket case. It was just some shit about a panic attack and anxiety…I really don't know, nor do I give a fuck I just want to get the hell outa here… it smells weird in here." She said. I chuckled softly. This was the Bella I knew and loved. Well liked. She already had a chance to get dressed and I helped her gather all her stuff. We were about to leave when a man came rushing in.

"Bella!...Bella!" The man said. He hugged Bella a little too tight for my liking and started kissing her strawberry scented hair.

"Would you get the fuck off of me" her voice was waning as she looked the man in the face. Unshed tears in her eyes.

"Dad"


A/N: I'm so sorry guys. I feel really shitty that I didn't post in like a month or two and I do feel bad. I'll try and post tomorrow. I mean don't get your hopes up because I'm type unreliable but yeah.

Review: What should Bella's reaction to her father be. Another thing is, I mentioned it before, but I don't know if I'm supposed to respond to the reviews or not, When I don't respond don't get disappointed or offended or disrespected or whatever. But Those reviews literally make my day and put a "pep in my step" They really do make me happy and I do appreciate it very much

Hope you enjoyed
