Chapter 7:

Bella POV

I was still in a daze when we arrived at school. I had been pinching myself in the back of Edwards car just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. When I had almost drawn blood I was convinced it was real. Edwards words clouded my head. Bella love. I got goosebumps when I thought of it.I didn't dare look back at Jacob as we drove away. No one, had said anything in the car on the way and I sensed a bit of tension between Alice and Edward, but I didn't want to ask. Alice climbed out of the car without a word and took off across the parking lot. I wasn't even out of the car yet as I stared after her. Edward opened my door for me, always the perfect gentleman.

"What's up with Alice, is she mad at me or something?" I asked, wracking my brain trying to think of something I'd done wrong.

"No she's not mad at you Bella, she's upset with me" he said with an expression on his face I couldn't figure out. Hurt? Shame?

"Why?" I asked letting my curiosity get the better of me. He slowly lifted his head and looked at me, his eyes boring into mine. If I hadn't been leaning against the car I would probably had fallen over and for a moment I thought he wasn't going to answer.

"Its complicated" he said finally. Its complicated, that's my response to anyone who asks about Jacob, he obviously doesn't want to talk about it.

"Oh" was all I could say with a million things running through my head. I really wanted to say uncomplicate it but that would have been rude.

Just then, Jessica and Lauren walked by, they scowled at me and mumbled something that I didn't catch but it certainly wasn't "Morning Bella". Edward noticed and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Come on, we're gonna be late" I said as I threw my bag over my shoulder.

Walking through school with Edward was amazing and interesting experience. I couldn't believe the amount of attention he got, especially from girls. They were practically falling over him and what was even more amazing was that he seemed to be oblivious to it.I got some serious dagger eyes thrown at me as we walked towards trig. He stopped at the door.

"See you at lunch?" he asked.

"Yeah" I said smiling and kinda wishing I had a time machine so we could skip straight to lunch.

"That's if Alice lets me sit with you" he said and then he was gone, walking down the hall way leaving a string of tumbling girls behind him. I mad my way into class. I sat next to Alice. Jessica shot me a look, even though she was already sitting beside someone. I would try and talk to her now, Edward had said she wasn't mad at me but as we sat in silence I decided to make sure.

"Alice, did I do something wrong?" I asked in a whisper. She looked at me her usually happy face,frowning. She sighed.

"Sorry Bella, I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at Edward" she almost spat the name. "it's not fair to take it out on you" she smiled.

"Can I ask why?" She looked at me for a moment,and then gave the same answer as her brother. "Its complicated"

"That's what he said" I mumbled. I was not ready for her reaction.

"Oh did he now!!" she almost shouted She was really mad now. Mr. Varner hushed her from the board. She gritted her teeth.

"What's going on Alice?" I whispered. She opened her mouth to answer when Mr Varner called on me for an answer.

Edward POV

As I walked to history, I thought about the events of the morning. The argument with Alice, my stunt with Jacob, Bella's questions. Why all of a sudden, do I feel the need to protect her all the time?.The look on Jacob's face as we walked away was priceless. How dare he hurt her!!

I thought about the conversation I had with Tanya last night and my response to Bella's question.Why didn't I tell her the truth? I shook the thoughts out of my head as I saw Jasper waving at me. I sat next to him.

"Hey man" he said with a slightly amused expression on his face.

"Hey" I replied still trying to work out why he was smiling. And then he answered my unspoken question.

"Bella told me what you did to Jacob yesterday" I looked down a bit embarrassed "it was so sweet, I wish I could have been there, man I've wanted to beat his ass for so long" he rambled on and on until Mr. Stewart called the class to attention.

"Next time you plan on doing something like that give me a call" he said smiling.

You've already missed the sequel I thought to myself, I nodded at him.

Although I hadn't planned any of it, it just kind of happened and again this morning. I tried to pay attention in class but I couldn't, not in any of my classes of the morning and yet I was dreading lunch,having to face Alice again and with Bella and Jasper I presume, present who knows what she might say. As I qued for my food with Jasper, I spotted Alice and Bella sitting in the same seat we were in yesterday. I tried to think of an excuse as to why I needed to skip lunch but came up with nothing. Jasper too had spotted the girls and was walking towards them, I followed him reluctantly.

Bella POV

I saw Jasper and Edward walking towards us. Jasper was smiling where as Edward looked like he was in pain. Alice still hadn't told me what was going on and had managed to avoid the subject all morning. Maybe Jasper knew what was going on.

"Hey" Jasper greeted us with a big smile, he looked at Alice and she smiled brightly at him as he sat down next to her. I watched Alice as Edward went to sit down. She shot him a look and he came and sat by me. They didn't speak to one another.I looked at Jasper who stared back at me with a very confused expression. I just shrugged.

"So" Jasper began "What did you crazy kids get up you last night?" he asked. I felt Edward stiffen beside me. Alice noticed too as she glared at him. She turned back to Jasper smiling again.

"Nothing Jazz, what did you do?" she answered

"Uh nothing, I had practice after school and then I just did my homework and watched tv, nothing too exciting" he said as he took a bite out of his sandwich.

Lunch continued with neither of the Cullen's speaking directly to one another. Jasper and Alice talked all through lunch where as Edward barely said anything to me. Every time I stole a glance at him he looked lost in thought. He caught me once and he just smiled at me but it didn't touch his eyes.

I picked at my lunch suddenly loosing my appetite. The rest of the day passed in a blur. Still no truce had been made between Alice and Edward and I thought I was gonna die if someone didn't say something in the car on the way to the Cullen's for tutoring session number two. Between the tension and the high school musical soundtrack I was sure I was gonna snap. As we pulled up in front of the house I noticed the big red jeep that wasn't there yesterday. It was huge.

"Your Mom sure does have extreme taste" I said still staring at the massive machine. Edward laughed and Alice squealed.

"Emmett's home!!!" She jumped out of the car as we pulled up next to it.I saw my truck with the hood pulled up. Alice had said yesterday Emmett would know how to fix it. I got out of the car and made my way to my truck, excited to meet the other brother. Someone was working on it all right. Suddenly the hood crashed down. I froze when I saw the person behind it. It wasn't Emmett, that's for sure.

"Try it now Emmett" she called. She was gorgeous. She had long blonde hair with flawless skin and a take 5 notches off your selfesteem figure. The truck roared to life which made me jump.

"I told you I could do it" she called "You owe me twenty" she said laughing. Just then the biggest guy I've ever seen climbed out of my truck. He was big and burly but still handsome. Alice ran towards him and he effortlessly scooped her up into a big hug. He hit Edward on the back which nearly knocked him on the ground. I couldn't help but laugh. He looked at me then.

"Hey, this heap of junk must be yours," he said as he threw my car keys at me. "You left those in the ignition yesterday" I almost fell tying to catch my keys and Edward had to catch me. He was always saving me.Emmet's booming laughter echoed around us. "You're funny" he said still laughing.

"Forgive my brother," Edward said shooting him a look. "Bella, this is Emmett and this is his girlfriend Rosalie Hale" he said gesturing towards the girl who looked like a swim suit model.

"Hey"I said, she looked at me and smiled, I extended my hand to Emmett but he just grabbed me into a bear hug, crushing my rib cage. Can't breath!!

When he released me, I thanked Rosalie for fixing my truck. "I like a challenge" was all she said as she made her way into the house with Emmett. Alice looked so excited to see them both I decided to postpone tutoring for today.

"Are you sure Bella?" She asked, her big eyes lighting up.

"Yeah Alice you should go be with your family and catch up, I'm sure I can handle tonights homework and If I cant I can always call Jazz" I said and she laughed at the last bit. She hugged me then.

"Call me if you get stuck OK" she called as she made her way up the steps almost dancing. Edward offered to drive behind me just in case my truck broke down again, but I refused telling him I had faith in Rosalie and that he should sort things out with his family. He stood there for a moment, as if he were trying to decide whether he should tell me something or not as I looked up at him waiting. He let out a big sigh and said "Thank you Bella" and then he was gone.

I drove home slowly, I had forgotten how noisy my truck was being in the Volvo the past two days. When I pulled up in front of the house, I was overjoyed to see no unwanted visitors, but my joy was short lived as the phone rang while I was coming in the door. I ran to the kitchen to answer it.

"Hello" I answered breathless

"Bella, its me Jake" I fought the urge to hang up straight away.

"What Jacob?" I asked in a hostile tone.

"I just wanna apologise for this morning Bell, I was way out of line and I should never have gone off at you like that."

"No you shouldn't have Jacob!" I said, finding it easier to stick up to him when I couldn't see his face.

"I'm sorry. So who is he?" he asked. Not this again!

"Edward Cullen" I said matter of factually. I could hear Jacob growl down the phone when he wasn't getting the details he wanted and then he hung up. I stuck my tongue out at the receiver feeling five years old again.

Edward POV

My phone vibrated again in my pocket, I flipped it open one new message from Tanya. I closed it again without even reading it. I drew my attention back to Emmett and whatever story he was telling. Alice was glaring at me. We were all sat around the kitchen table talking as my mom flew around the kitchen making dinner. Alice kicked me under the table, I looked at her suddenly with a what the hell expression?. She just raised an eyebrow at me.

"So Emmett ,How long are you staying for?" I asked ignoring Alice.

"Just a few days, Rose and I are heading back to Alaska Friday" he said brushing her cheek with the back of his hand. My phone vibrated again. I didn't even need to check it, I already knew who it was. I sighed in defeat. Alice stared at me.

"Mind If I carpool?" I asked bowing my head

So Edward is off on a road trip it seems! Tune in next week to see what happens *insert dramatic music here*
