Chapter Nine
A/N Ok guys I'm so sorry for taking so long and I have no good reason to not have updated but I do want to say thanks to The Little pixie for her amazing review which inspired me to write this :D
When I awoke it was to the sound of Alice talking with Jasper, neither were aware that I had woken up and it was clear after a minute or two that they were unaware that I had woken up. They were discussing me; I was intrigued so I listened in.
"Jasper I'm worried about her. I know something happened to her at that party and she is going through more than she's telling anyone. What can we do?"
"I know and agree with you Alice. I can tell as well but if we try and push her to tell us than we're going to gain nothing. I just wish that there was a way that we could show her that she can trust us."
They both seemed to lapse into a thoughtful silence.
"I do know one way we can help her. We can keep Lauren and Tanya away from her. Make sure no one hurts her again. We can also speak some sense to Rosalie and Edward. At least try and get them to stop glaring at her every chance they get."
Alice's voice had taken on the hyper tone again as she told Jasper her idea and I could feel a smile making it's way onto my face and tears pricking my eyes at what she was willing to do for me.
"The Tanya and Lauren thing we can do but convincing Edward and Rosalie might be a bit hard. If we can get Emmett to help us then Rosalie will at least back off a bit but the Edward situation could take some work." Sensing that they were making their way to my bedroom, obviously to check on me I wiped at the tears that had escaped and ran back to my position on my bed.
When they came in the room they were both smiling smugly and for the first time in a long time I actually did trust someone. They both came and sat on the edge of my bed and Alice Gave me a hug before they both said their goodbyes after making sure I was ok.
When I heard the sound of their car leaving I was left to the silence of my own thoughts. My thoughts were taking me back to that night and I shivered. To distract myself I got out one of my books and put my ipod on. It wasn't long after that I drifted off to sleep and for once I didn't have a nightmare. I had a dream free night and woke up in a better mood than I had since coming to this dreary town.
A/N Soz I am skipping to the Friday so that I can get on with the story lol and I can't remember what day it's meant to be.
Making my way to school was nerve wracking. I had received permission from Charlie to spend the night at the Cullen's and I had my packed bag with me in the car as Alice had informed me that I would be following them home straight after school.
Yesterday had been better than normal, something Alice or Jasper had said must have gotten through to Edward and Rosalie as I had not had any glares that I was aware of from them and I had been able to relax slightly more in the lessons that I was forced to sit next to them in.
It did make life easier and what really made me happier was that from the moment \i stepped out of my car in the mornings to the moment I was leaving the parking lot in said car I was never on my own. This is what they must have meant by keeping Tanya and Lauren away from me and it was working perfectly.
I was starting to go back to the person I had been before and it was exhilarating how much freedom I had. The close friendship of Jasper and Alice was also a great comfort. Although they were nicer I was still nervous about spending the night, wondering how they were going to act around me in their own house.
It wasn't long before I was pulling into the parking lot of the school and as usual there was Alice and Jasper to meet me. They both gave me friendly hugs as I got out and I noticed that the other three were walking away towards the school.
"Hey Bella, I'm so excited about tonight. You can meet my Mum and dad and we can sleep in the front room and watch movies and it'll be great." She carried on talking about what we were going to be doing that night and I just walked in between her and Jasper as they walked me to my first lesson as had become custom since the incident.
The day passed slowly but finally one of my last lessons Biology came. I still walked warily into the room just in case Edward reverted back to the cold and angry person he had been but I was surprised to find him smiling at me slightly as he walked into the room. I was confused but even more so when he still didn't speak a word to me the whole lesson.
And as usual he shot out of the classroom when the bell rang. Shrugging in acceptance, there was no way I was going to learn anything about him, I made my way out of my class to see that like clockwork Jasper was already waiting for me outside my classroom.
He smiled at me in greeting and we made out way out of the school to our cars. The nerves hit me again as I started to follow their car to their house. Wondering what was going to happen while I was staying at their house this weekend.
