1Disclaimer: Okay so I left you all on a cliffhanger. Oh wow that is So new. Anyway don't you just hate cliffhangers? I certainly do, though most of you would call me a hypocrite considering I leave a cliffhanger almost every chapter. But you know all of you just have to deal cause it's my story and I'll cliffhanger if I want to. It's like that lyric, 'It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.' God I love music. So anyway I don't own. . . oh is it going to be a cliffhanger. . . Twilight. Yes I do know I'm retarded.
Hey everyone! Okay so here's when you find out what the note says and A LITTLE on Charlie. By the way most of you are going to hate me by the time this is over so I am just going to take a moment basking in your love of my writing. . . deep breath . . . exhale . . . okay moment over.
Enjoy!
Chapter 7
Read It And Weep
BPOV
A beautiful piece of blood red paper floated to the floor as I opened my locker. I didn't have to read the bottom to know who it was from:
Dear Isabella,
I see you have broken the heart of a Cullen and found a more normal man to play with. Though I do love when any Cullen is caused pain I do have to say it was a foolish choice to pick a man that is so very. . . breakable. My leaders death will not go un-avenged my dear Isabella. You are at fault for his death and so I will cause as much pain as you have cause me. But I won't start with the boy. No I would like you to know you have blood on your hands before I rip your heart out by killing him and his kin. Watch for the call that will break you Isabella (it's not really bold in the letter but remember this it's extremely important).
Oh and Isabella, the Cullen's will not be harmed as long as you keep your fragile moth shut. I say we keep this between you and I. When ex's get involved it tends to get a little messy.
Victoria
Oh my god she was going to kill Henry. Oh god. I quickly packed my things in my backpack and was ready to leave. But I didn't know what to do with the note.
I decided to rip it to shreds. It would be better this way. Edward would be less likely to find it. I wanted to give him no chance to find it. I had already decided I wasn't going to tell the Cullen's, not until it was absolutely necessary. Victoria was tight, this was between she and I. And I had no intention of owing the Cullen's anymore then I already did.
Just as I had torn the letter into tiny pieces Edward rounded the corner, books in hand. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
Instead of being all smart and sophisticated and ignoring him I decided to do the first thing that came to mind. In other words I threw the shreds of paper into the air and half spoke half shouted, "Happy first day of school." And walked the other way.
Oh very smooth Bella. He won't suspect a thing. Except that I have finally sprung off the cliff and into loony land where the nice men in the white coats who hold the big needles live.
I power walked out of the school knowing I left a stunned Edward in my wake. But then again now a days he was always getting surprised by me. It kind of felt good that I, a lowly human, could still bring that speechless look to his face.
My heart was pounding as I made a run for it to my truck. I willed Henry to be there, like he always would be. I needed Henry to be there, I couldn't have a guy disappoint me after what had happened with Edward.
I heard his voice before I saw him. He was yelling at CeCe, who was yelling right back. Wow that was new. They fought on who I liked most, they fought over who had owned a red tooth brush that had been disposed of three years ago.
CeCe's eyes widened as she saw me running towards them. Henry turned to see what she was staring at just as I jumped into his arms.
"Henry," I squealed kissing his forehead. Relief had flooded every inch of my body as I hugged him tightly.
"Bella," he said holding me out by my shoulders and looking at me with a suspicious stare, "what's the matter?"
An ecstatic smile was now embedded into my face, "Nothing," I said shaking my head, "I am just very glad to see you."
And that's when the kissing started. CeCe groaned, "Five minutes before this car leaves this parking lot. With or without you bro."
Henry gave her a thumbs up sign without moving his face an inch. God kissing Henry was so different from kissing Edward. With Edward it was just a peck on the lips, I could never just grab him and kiss him, it always had to be controlled, and after I could barely feel his presence on my moth. With Henry it was so different. I loved kissing Henry. I could taste him. In a way that was so different and so exceptionally extraordinary it just made my head spin.
We were still kissing when I heard a very loud horn honking directly at us. We looked over forehead millimeters apart. The red Jeep was looming next to us with a very angry CeCe at the wheel. Henry kissed me quickly and murmured a sweet, "Good bye Bella Blue (okay cheesy but I think it's a cute pet name)."
"Goodbye Henry Pride. Be safe." I said as he ran to the car.
I really needed him to be safe, his life depended on it. But before I could think more on that horrid subject I just needed to revel in my happiness for one quick second.
I looked up at the sky which was softly drizzling and stamped my foot in happiness. "God I love kissing," I said before walking to my truck with one of the biggest smiles on my face that I had, had in over a month.
I think I might love Henry Pride. And that made my heart stop.
A hopped into my car and pulled sharply out of my parking spot almost totaling some beat up Vista Cruiser. I pulled out of the school humming to myself. It was no song I had ever heard of just something I was making up as I went along.
I pulled into my driveway and ran to the house. I just needed to relax. I knew full well that there was nothing I could do to Victoria but I had to come up with a plan none the less. Everyone I knew lives could depend on it.
I went up to my room and pulled on a tight blue tank top, the color Edward said always looked best on me, and a pair of gray sweat pants that had something in the same blue printed on the right side, I looked pretty even in my relaxing outfit.
I sat down on the couch and stared at the wall, racking my brains for anything that I could do that wouldn't end in either I or anyone I loved dying.
But then the phone rang.
As I jumped up to answer it I was struck with a line from Victoria's letter, Watch for the call that will break you Isabella, it had read.
My hands shook as I answered the phone, "Hello," I managed to get out.
"Is this Isabella Swan?" a soothing male voice asked.
"Yes,"I whispered.
"It's about your father Chief Swan. . . well I need you to come to the hospital."
For a moment the world disappeared as I willed my life to be a horrible nightmare.
I love it! I am very proud of this chapter, though I am sure most of you are upset that yet again I left you on a cliffhanger. Well I know I'm a horrible person but I love reviews. Maybe if you bribe me with a few I will update sooner.
REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW,
Carly ;)
