I forced my eyes open, but they threatened to close again. I was so exhausted and worn out. I scowled at the ceiling, remembering what happened. Damn idiots sedated me. No wonder why I feel like shit. My thoughts were interrupted by a tapping sound at the window.
I warily got up to look out the window and saw Marcia and Christy throwing pebbles at the window frame. My heart sputtered for a second. They actually came for me.
"What are you guys doing here?" They were the last people I expected to see. "Getting you out of here" Marcia hissed quietly and I was surprised that Edward or any of the Cullens didn't come barging in yet. I looked back at the door, deciding whether or not I should do it.
Edward's gonna be furious. I shrugged it off and turned back to the window. I don't give a shit about how he feels. He didn't when he left. I gazed down at the lawn. It was pretty far down and I don't think they brought a ladder with them.
"How am I supposed to get down?" They looked worried for a minute but then something they saw caught their attention. They jogged out of sight, and reappeared with a plastic tarp.
I narrowed my eyes, confused as they spread it wide and gripped it tightly in their hands. "Jump Bella, it's strong enough to support you" My breathing hitched and fear flooded through me.
"Don't worry Izzy, we're both ready" Christy nodded, telling me to hurry. I slowly climbed out onto the roof, crouching slightly so I wouldn't lose balance. I took a deep breath and leaped into the air. I bit my lip, holding back a scream as gravity pulled me back down.
My body smacked against the tarp, my back stung from the force and I felt nauseous. "Come on, we have to hurry!" Christy helped me up and rushed to the car with Marcia right on our heels.
I threw myself into the backseat while Marcia started the engine. "Bella stop!" Alice screamed, running through the garage at human speed. She had to or she would have exposed herself. I giggled and waved at her. "Bye!" Marcia stepped on the gas and I saw Alice glare at me.
We busted out laughing when we could no longer see the house. This was so awesome, I thought I would never get away from them. "They are so cruel, they wouldn't let me smoke one freakin' cigarette!" I pouted and they chuckled.
"Here" Christy opened the glove compartment and handed me a smoke. I grinned and stuck it between my lips. The usual calmness took over but something wasn't right.
I had everything I needed, Marcia, Christy and razors, so why did I feel so empty? Edward's words kept repeating in my head 'I love you' and I was beyond confused.
Why would he say that? Edward made it perfectly clear that he didn't love me and now he was trying to take away the one thing that mattered. People say that drugs destroy lives but I think different. Edward left me broken and alone and the drugs helped me move on.
But why would he say that he loves me? I'm just a plain human that was too weak to stand on her own. It never made sense for him to love me. I knew that when we were together and I was right. I could never compare to the beauty of a vampire.
But even if he did love me, how could he expect me to ever trust him after what he did. I wanted to hate him, but I knew that some part of me still had feelings for him, and I hated that. I knew he didn't love me, and I know the only reason he said it was because I was a mess and needed help.
"Are we going to school tomorrow?" I asked as we pulled onto the driveway. "Yeah, you missed too many classes already and your grades will drop if you miss anymore" Marcia looked at me in the rearview mirror.
This is only going to make things harder. Of course 'they're going to school too. What the hell was I suppose to tell him? I bet he's going to toss me in his car again and take me back to his house, but his time he'll make sure I don't escape.
"Just stay near us and they won't bother you" Christy said and I scoffed while rolling my eyes. If you only knew that they are ten-thousand times stronger than you…
I went to my room and flopped down onto the bed. Things were very hectic lately and it was driving me nuts. I definitely needed a break from all of it. I should get a job and hopefully someday get my own place where I could get away from all the craziness. My eyelids soon fluttered and sleep overtook me.
