Chapter 9
I was sitting in the lounge when my father came home. I was besides myself with homework, senior year was a terror quite frankly.
"Isn't it a little warm out Bells for a scarf" My dad said casually as he took of his hat and sat down. I did not comment wearing a scarf was the only way to hide the marks Edward had made on my skin. At first people at school pointed and laughed when they noticed hickeys on my neck. I grew smart the next day.
"So you and Edward have a fight or something?" He asked with a raised brow. I sighed he must have been gossiping with Esme.
"Yea" I answered hoping that would end the topic. I did not want to talk about my ex-bestfriend.
"Esme said the kid was really upset, not eating, don't ruin your friendship" I grimaced I was not the one who ruined it. Yet I could hardly tell my dad that. I acted as though my homework really interested me.
"Edward and I are not friends any more" I said softly looking away.
"Not friends, Bells you and that kid spend every waking minute of the day together" I wiped away a tear that came rolling down my cheek. Edward was not himself, he had become someone else no something else. Closing my books I said nothing and went up to my room. My dress was on my bed. Prom was here yet I did not have the heart to go. Getting into the bathroom I showered and opened the box that had been delivered today. Only it was not the dress Edward had chosen for me. It was red and short really short. A note was attached to the bottom.
Dear Bella
My sweet Bella, blue is lovely on your skin but red is sinful. Please except this gift as a token of my love and affection.
Your secret admirer.
It had a French label attached. For the first time this week I was no plagued by thoughts of Edward. Who would admire me, Edward thought I belonged to him so he was definitely out or was he? And in one second I was back to thinking about him. Holding the dress against my body it fell lightly aboved my knee. Okay so it was not so short. So if I wore it my so called secret admirer would be pleased which also meant Edward would be not. Stop it, I scolded myself. Edward, Edward today was Emmett's night no more Edward. The door bell rang as I put on my headband. I looked like a Minnie Blair Waldorf. Sighing, I stared at my reflection my new dress was stylish and yet revealing in a non-slutty way. The back was missing, so I put my hair up and left a few wisps loose to frame my face. I decided to use minimal make-up for a natural look. Walking down the stairs I went into the kitchen, I heard my own gasp as Edward stood up. He was wearing a black suit with gold bow tie. Emmett and Rosalie sat on the other seat. My dad smiled brightly, his face screamed set up.
"Edward and Emmett decided to share a Limousine tonight" I grimaced staring intently at Emmett ignoring Edward. Emmett handed me a bunch of daisies. I thanked him and kissed his cheek.
"Since when are you and Edward friends?" I asked him leaning in Emmett smiled at my dad as he and Edward talked about football.
"He cares about you alot" Emmett not really answering and starring at Rosalie who looked exquisite in her gold dress. Edward had a red flower pinned to the lapel of his suit jacket. He bought this dress most probably, why did I not see it before. As a child Edward would not scream and cry like most spoilt children when he wanted something he was quiet and calculating. He probably was plotting ways to get me alone yet acted perfectly normal around everyone else. He got me to go to prom with somebody so inlove with someone else there was no way he would be a threat. Esme entered the house, calling Edward out.
"Kid, dam if you were older I would so give up on your father" She told him making everybody laugh. Behind her Billy Black trailed he looked away as me and my dad starred at him.
"Hello Billy" My dad said getting up and shaking his hand. I smiled as Esme noticed me she looked away and frowned.
"What's wrong Esme?" I asked her, she seemed upset with me. Looking at me again she looked at Edward who shook his head.
"I am disappointed Bella I did not expect you to do what you have been doing to Edward" I looked away uncomfortable, Edward was the good guy. What kind of sick twisted world did we live in. I felt like crying getting up I went outside. Esme, was like a bigger sister I never had now I had lost her too. My dad was convinced Edward was right because he liked him so much.
"Little B, looking pretty good" I looked up at Jacob Black who was sitting idly in his dads car.
"Not in the mood" Jacob lit up one of his shady looking cigarettes and took a long drag.
"Want to get out of here?" He asked looking at the sky. I do not know why I did it but I opened the Car door and sat beside him.
"Do you have the keys?" I ask, Jacob hits the plastic compartment underneath the steering and pulled a few wires, jump starting the car.
"Would your dad be angry?" I ask him, Jacob rolls his eyes.
"He is with that chick he won't blow up infront of her, So Bella Swan why are you running away with your boy Edwards arch enemy?" He asks as he takes the highway out of town.
"Edward and I, we're not friends any more" I tell him softly. He whistles loudly making me flinch.
"Damn I always thought you two were secretly dating or something?" I opened my window sticking my head out.
"I don't want to talk about Edward" I tell him as he comes to a stop. I realize for the first time what I had just done. Emmett was probably at prom now all alone and Edward was probably telling anyone who would listen how much I apparently hated him or something.
"So can I kiss you" Jacob asked I turned away from him getting out of the car starring at the view typical he brought me to couples point.
"Nope, you really not my type" I confess, only earning a dry laugh from Jacob.
"Way to put a guy down so should I be afraid I don't do crie-ers" He lit another cigarette leaning on the hood of his car.
"Why are you smoking that crap?" I pull his cigarette from his mouth and throw it onto the floor.
"Just what I need a square to make me an honest man" He did his best Cry baby impression. I laughed at him pulling out my headband and throwing it away.
"You wish Jacob Black" I pull out the pins in my hair. As Jacob raised his brow at me.
"I have a girlfriend Vannesa Collins" Jacob says as if that would shock me. It did not nothing could after what Edward had done to me.
"So why are you with your dad and not her and me?" I add the me in the end confused, I was only putting my hair down.
"Fuck, her parents sent her to boarding school, I am bad shit in her life, and eversince she left I have become a stoner, and my father hopes he can reform me by spending time with me and I know Edward will beat me up when we get back home" this time I raised my brow.
"You wish to be beat up" Jacob laughed this hollow sad sound.
"Anything to feel again, after she left I feel like someone stuck this block on my happiness, the smoking helps me believe that she is better without me" Jacob was deep. I wondered what happened to Vannesa after all.
"When was the last time you guys met?" I asked him, Jacob shuffled uncomfortably on his feet.
"7 months ago, when she left for school, they don't take calls from males" I brightened up at the thought hitting his arm.
"Give me your phone?" I ask him practically leaping at him.
"Which is her school number?" I ask him, he points out at one of the numbers looking sad.
"Hello, Can I speak to one of the students, I am a family friend" I ask the school secretary over the phone.
Jacob who now understands stood up straight and was listening intently smiling at me.
"Name of student?" The women asked on the phone.
"Vannesa Collins" I said they asked me to wait. I handed Jacob the phone who beamed at me.
I sat on the hood of his car, while he spoke. I wondered whether Rosalie was enjoying prom with Edward Cullen the mass manipulator. "Thank you so much, If she was allowed a phone I would speak to her all day" Jacob told me grabbing me into a hug.
"This looks cosy" The unmistakable voice of Edward Cullen came from behind us.
Shit.
