For those of you who have me on your alert list you might know I updated already for the day. But I took the chapter down and put up this one instead because of an idea I had.
Alright… it wasn't all my idea, my great friend and supporter Leibeezer helped me out with it a lot. (I know you guys must get tired of how much I mention her, but seriously! She`s amazing!)
And I wanna say one more thing before I let you guys go- thanks so much to all my readers out there! I love, love, love, you guys! (and your reviews lol)
And feel free to leave me any unpleasant comments you might have, just don't intensely trash my story for nothing, I just mean that I`m always open to a little creative insulting so I know where to fix my story and where to continue with it.
CHAPTER NINE:
I slammed my locker door shut and sighed heavily. Tuesday morning, I felt terrible. The glares from my fellow students hadn't eased up, and every one was still talking about me.
I rested my head against the locker and closed my eyes for 3 seconds before I heard my name over the intercom.
"Isabella Swan, please report to the principles office immediately, Isabella Swan."
Each head in the hallways snapped in my direction.
"Bella." I groaned, kicking off the locker and holding my textbook to my chest. I kept my head down as I walked to the principles office.
When I got there I saw Edward and Jacob, both sitting on either side of the three large chairs it had in front of Mr. Greene`s desk.
"Hey." I said, not directly to anybody as I took a seat quietly in the chair in the middle of both of them.
Mr. Greene narrowed his eyes at all of us, "I suppose all of you know why you're here?"
"Nope."
"Not even close."
"Not a clue."
Mr. Greene sighed and moved a few papers around on his desk, turning the computer to face us.
"Do you know what this is?"
"Security footage?" I asked, I leant in closer to look at the fine words at the top of the screen, "From the parking lot?"
"Yes, Bella. From Friday evening."
I felt my heart beat increase.
"Friday evening?" Edward spoke in a calm, clear voice.
"The guard showed me this yesterday evening, I think you should all watch."
He pressed play and leaned back in his chair, looking at all three of our faces as the tape played. The entire thing was a bit blurry, and you could hardly make out anyone in the video- but you could clearly see mine, Edward and Jacob`s face. I knew what it was the second it came on. It was everything that had happened on Friday.
Mr. Greene cut the video off after Jacob`s stone crashed through the window of Edward`s car.
"Now." He said patiently, "We have whole day on our hands, here. Who wants to be the first to explain? Giving me a good reason not to call in your parents right now?"
"Mr. Greene I understand the evidence is obvious, but you have to understand that it was all just a misunderstanding." Edward said after a while when no one talked.
"As much as I want to believe that, Mr. Cullen- I cant just ignore a 10 minute long video of you three…. What exactly was it that you three were doing?"
Jacob remained quiet, starring off into space and trying to pretend that none of this was happening.
I looked down and played with the bracelet on my hands, avoiding the gaze of everyone around me. And Edward looked out the window at a group of children who were talking around one of the cars in the parking lot.
"Very well, then." Mr. Greene said, "Now I give you two options- I can either call you parents, or I can call the police. Your choice."
No one spoke, so Mr. Greene took the opportunity to lecture us.
"…..Never in all my years of being in a high school have I seen anything as…. As…. Wrong as this! You three are in serious trouble, and you Jacob- I would expect more for some-one as greatly admired as you. Do you have any idea what this could do to your football career? If I ever see…"
It went on for god knows how long, each of us getting our fair share.
Mr. Greene finished by taking up his phone, dialing a number and saying-
"I`m sure your parents will all be greatly disappointed in you."
And dismissed us all. I suddenly felt incredibly sick to my stomach. I grabbed my bag and ran out of the office, rushing down the hall to the nearest female washroom.
The second I was in front of the toilet, I started to throw up.
Charlie was going to find out.
Charlie was going to kill me.
No… Charlie was going to kill Jacob, then kill me.
Why was I such an idiot?
Why is this happening to me? Of all people, Me?!
When I was finished I stood up and started to feel dizzy. I gripped the sink and splashed the cool water on my face.
There is no way I am going back to class now. Not after this. I thought.
I pulled the bag over my shoulder and walked out the washroom. The hallway was empty. I didn't even bother thinking where Jacob and Edward was….. I didn't want to see anyone right now. I just wanted to be alone.
I walked around the corner and heard someone behind me. I gasped and turned around.
"Bella."
"Jacob. What the hell do you want?" I snapped.
"To talk to you."
"To….. you want to talk. Do you not understand that my father is getting a call right now about everything that was on that video?!" I hissed, "He`s going to be devastated, so mad at me! I`ll never be able to make this out to him."
"Bella just calm-"
"Do not tell me to calm down, Jacob! This might be easy for you but for someone who isn't a demon escaped from hell, its pretty fucking terrible!"
He was about to say something again when I heard the door behind us open. I turned around and saw Charlie standing in the doorway.
He looked red- literally red, he was that angry.
Oh god help me.
I know I know! Terrible ending for this chapter! But it had to end somewhere. I`m exhausted and I need my rest. I have no school tomorrow so I should have an update for you guys by tomorrow night. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.
For those of you who actually read my A/N`S- Good night!
