Somewhere where the sun don't shine

"Bella, please wait!"

I inwardly groaned for what had seemed like the hundredth time today as I heard the unwanted chirpy little voice call for me again. I quickly turned the corner without a second's hesitation and carried on walking as if I had never heard her.

I wasn't stupid and I knew that it was a pointless getaway as I would have to deal with Alice at some point or another today, but still I couldn't help but convince myself that it was worth a chance to try and avoid her curious questions about Jasper's whereabouts or wellbeing.

Rosalie, my only true confidant who knew exactly what I needed and when, graciously offered to skip first period this morning with me as she knew that I wouldn't want to be facing Alice and her relentless questioning without having time to think of anything eligible enough to try and convince her why Jazz didn't turn up at school and how he was doing. My theory on Rosalie knowing me too well was proven when I never even had to tell her what had happened last night, as she said that Jasper's absence and the look on my face was enough proof for her to realise that Charlie had gotten to Jasper again. She had been through this experience with me more than her fair share of times and she knew by now that I didn't need her words of support or encouragement. The last thing that I needed was her trying to tell me that everything would all be okay and that it would turn out fine in the end, as we both knew that that would be a lie and something neither of us could prove. No, all I needed was a friend to hold me while I cried for my brother's pain and just comfort me in a way only she could. No one else understood me, no one ever even bothered, so having Rosalie was such an amazing bonus to my life of hell.

I always felt guilty on days like these, the days that I burdened Rose with so many of my problems and pain, and yet she always seemed to take it on the chin and never even bat an eye before succumbing to helping me through whatever the situation may be. She always told me that she was here for me and that I should always remember that no matter what she would always be there to comfort me or help me in any possible way but I still felt guilt regardless of what she said.

Before we headed off to our second period class, Rosalie gave me a quick lecture on how I was to avoid the Cullen's as much as possible and let her handle their questions. We both knew from experience that I was never the greatest liar so it was usually Rosalie or Jasper who handled that sort of thing if the situation ever arose. People around the school were so unobservant that if they did ask me something and my answer did happened to be a lie, it wouldn't really matter in the end. It wasn't like they even truly cared either way; they were just too nosy for their own good. The only people who could ever really tell the difference between my lies and truths were Rosalie, Jasper and if the occasion ever arose, Charlie, as they were the only ones who looked long enough or truly listened to ever spot the tell tale signs. But now the Cullen's are added to the equation and god knows that they are not the least bit oblivious to mine or my family's problems so lying would definitely be a 'no go' for me.

So Rosalie had told me that if Alice asked me about the whole "accident" I was just to say the exact same thing I had told Dr. Cullen yesterday as to not complicate stories and to ensure we don't make the Cullen's even more suspicious than they all ready seem to be. I figured that since Dr. Cullen was their father and knew that they were somewhat close to me and Jasper that he would have filled them in but still I was to be prepared just in case someone wanted a firsthand account or something.

The only problem was that I was in such a state of panic, shock and desperation yesterday that the lie had easily slipped from my lips in a way that I didn't even have to think twice about what I was saying. But now I was a lot calmer and a hell of a lot more collected and I was positive that I wouldn't be able to pull it off as smoothly as I had been able to yesterday. I was praying for my sake that he had already filled them in and Alice would only be interested in finding out about how Jasper was keeping instead of the details in how it actually happened. Then I could at least be truthful and not have to conjure up some ridiculous lie that I hadn't truly thought through.

But when it actually came down to it, Alice was the least of my problems. I was one hundred percent positive that Edward knew that the whole Jasper falling down the stairs thing was a bunch of bull and I was pretty sure that he had a few of his accurate theories on how Jasper was actually hurt. I had been so careless that night, the words just spilling out of my mouth about damn hospitals and respect. And because of that Edward was now damn suspicious and wouldn't lay up on his questioning until I physically had to walk away from him. Shit.

Luckily though I hadn't seen him at all today or Emmet come to think of it. No, the only one I had noticed today was the bloody pixie and she seemed to be popping up all over the place.

I finally started to relax as I made my way into the lunch hall. I quickly turned around to make sure that Alice wasn't lurking behind me being the stealthy little thing that she is, and let out a breath I hadn't realised I had been holding when I say that she wasn't there.

Finally I allowed myself to relax a little more knowing that I had managed to avoid her once again without too much hassle on my part. A loud shriek sprung from my mouth as the person who I had thought that I had managed to carefully loose, was standing mere inches away from my face.

"Jesus Christ Alice! You nearly gave me a freakin' heart attack woman!"

Instead of replying or even speaking, Alice just decided to stare at me with those big puppy dog eyes and that pout that she and I both knew would melt anyone's heart and make them succumb to whatever her whim may be if they were on the receiving end of it. I guess today was just my lucky day then huh?

I started to nervously laugh and tried to make a joke about how that would be the pout that would get her into trouble one day but instead of laughing along with me or even acknowledging what I had said, she started on the topic that I had prayed she wouldn't mention.

"You've been avoiding me today Isabella Swan and I want to know why? I only wanted to know if you and Jazzy were both okay but now I feel like I have done something to hurt or offend you and for the life of me I can't seem to work out just what that is. If I have done something I really am sorry but please just talk to me again. I missed you first period."

My heart broke at little Alice's words and at that moment, for the first time in my life, I actually wanted to just sit her down and tell her every little thing about my god forsaken life.

It was here and now that I truly realised that I had a true and meaningful friendship, albeit in the early stages, but still a friendship none the less with the little pixie in front of me and I had never wanted to tell anyone anything like I desperately wanted to just now. But of course, I refused to burden Alice or any of the other Cullen's with my families' problems. They knew too much as it was anyways and they were good people who didn't deserve to be held down with that kind of thing.

"I missed you too Ali. It's just I was late coming into school you know, so the principal told me to just wait out the rest of first period in his office. And please don't think you have done something to upset me Alice. I promise you that were completely cool. I guess I've just got a lot of stuff in my head just now and I have been in a bit of a dream the full day which probably explains why you feel I have been avoiding you. Again, I'm really sorry."

Alice stared at me with sympathetic eyes for a couple more second before she physically pounced on me, almost causing me to topple over but just managing to maintain my balance along with Tinkerbells.

"I know that you're lying to me Bella when you say that you came in late because Rosalie has already told me that use skipped together but don't worry, your secretes safe with me. I won't press you for any more details as I can tell that you're not comfortable talking about it really. But I just want you to know that if there is anything that you want to get of your chest or anything that requires a friend's shoulder to cry on or whatever, I'm here for you just as much as Rose or Jasper is. You can trust me Bella. I already think of you as one of my best friends", Alice softly whispered in a quiet rush.

I stared at her sadly for a moment as I felt my eyes start to fog up with tears that I refused to shed. Instead, I simply gave her a watery smile and quietly told her that I felt the same way.

Without another moment's hesitation, she quickly wrapped her small hand around my wrist and began dragging me towards the 'usual' lunch table that we had apparently taken a liking to. I felt my heart start to speed up as soon as Alice shoved me into the unoccupied chair across from who else but Edward.

I could feel his eyes practically burn holes in the top of my head as I kept my head down. I didn't dare look up, knowing that if I did I wouldn't be able to look away as soon as our eyes met. I don't know what it was about him that always had me so alert and aware of his presence but I decided that I would dwell on that another day when I didn't have more serious issues at hand like the fact that Edward practically managed to work out my families problems in the blink of an eye last night due to my not being careful, and then proceeded to go and take a mini bitch fit on him before running out of the house. Today, it was for my best intentions to just keep my head down, avoid eye contact and avoid any talk about last night.

Right like that's going to happen.

"So Bella, where'd you run off to last night then?"

Shit.

The melodic voice broke my calm front and instantly jolted me, almost ordering me to look upwards and of course catching sight of those beautiful eyes. Well, good going bright sparks! Managed to break all your to do's not even a minute after making the list. Good one Bella, really.

A sharp pain suddenly graced my side and I look to my right to see Rosalie looking at me intently, almost as if I was to realise something. After a few seconds I finally figured out that she had elbowed me to bring me out of my apparent ogling of the one and only Edward Cullen. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks at the thought of being caught gazing at him when not even twenty-four hours ago I was bitching at him to back off and storming away from him. Nice one Bells.

"Bella, Edward was just asking you there were you went to last night after you seen him but I get that it has been traumatic and all so don't feel like you need to talk about it or anything. You were probably in a state of shock when you ran off so it's not surprising if you don't recall everything after the events last night sweetie."

I looked at Rosalie in confusion before it finally dawned on me that she was covering up for my minute of stupidity. I sent her a meaningful look before I simply agreed with everything Rosalie had came out with. Silently I reached under the table and gently squeezed Rosalie's hand as my way of saying thank you, smiling softly to myself when she squeezed it back twice as her way of telling me it was no problem.

I could still feel Edward's eyes burn into me before he decided to try again to get a reaction out of me.

"Yeah of course, I get it. Maybe that's why you flipped out on me last night when I asked about the hospital as well then Bella, hmm?"

My eyes narrowed dangerously as I watched Edward raise his eyebrow in question, obviously waiting for my response all the while still acting nonchalant and chewing quietly on his carrot stick. I wanted to grab the carrot stick and stick it somewhere were the sun don't shine if he didn't cut his attitude.

Wiping the irritation off my face, I plastered a small sad smile on my face and gazed down at the table.

"If I'm honest Edward, I don't really remember much of what I actually said yesterday. I feel know like I was on auto pilot almost, the only thing I could think about was whether or not Jazz would be okay. I wasn't thinking straight and I know now that I was stupid by not calling for an ambulance when Jasper was in that state but as I said, auto pilot. Not in control you know? So I'm sorry if I said anything to offend you or something, really I am but I just don't want to talk about it anymore okay."

Rosalie sat with her jaw hanging slightly ajar on my right. I knew she was wondering when and where I suddenly got these lying skills from and pretty good ones at that. Hell, so was I. I didn't falter once during my little tale and managed to not break any eye contacts with anybody.

As I looked around the table, I was pretty confident that they all believed everything that just poured out of my mouth and for that I was grateful. That was until I saw Edwards knowing and accusative eyes and knew that he hadn't been bullshited by my performance.

Refusing to let Edward berate me with his gaze, I leaned over and stole one of his carrot sticks all the while thinking of ways of how I could torture him with it without meeting his or anyone else's gaze.

Stupid annoying Cullen.

Stupid annoying gorgeous Cullen.

Gorgeous amazing handsome...

For the second time that day, I felt another sharp pang in my rib as I let out a high pitched grunt. I turned to my left this time noticing that innocent little Alice was looking at me with an amused little smirk sprawled across her lips.

"What the hell Alice?!"

"Uh...Bella? The bell just rang; you've been in a complete daze throughout lunch. What's up?"

Although her tone clearly stated amusement, I could hear the concern laced in her words and I gave her a quick hug for being so compassionate towards me and my family.

I had been wondering how Jazz had been doing for the last while, so I finally decided that it wouldn't be the worst thing to do if I skipped last two and went home to look after my brother the way he has for me too many a time to count.

I started retreating backwards towards the exit door while mumbling a quick reply to Alice about where I was going.

"I want to go home and check on Jasper just to make sure he's keeping okay. I want to skip last two so could you please tell the office or my biology teacher that I was sick at lunch or something or I had a family emergency or whatever."

As I turned round to finally walk in the correct direction, I ran right into what seemed to be a stone wall. I could start to feel my whole body fall backwards before I finally felt a pair of strong firm arms wrap themselves around my waist and pull me back up to the safety of the ground.

I looked up only to see Edwards knowing smirk reflect itself back. I watched as he slowly pulled one of his arms from around me without losing eye contact and slowly brought another carrot stick to his mouth. His eyes practically oozed amusement which only managed to wind me tighter than I already was due to his attitude today.

Pushing myself from his arms and storming over towards the exit, I couldn't help but let the oh so nice thoughts consume me of how I would take those oh so precious sticks and shove them somewhere were the sun definitely didn't shine.

"Bye Isabella."

I didn't even have to turn around to know that he would be standing there looking all knowing with that stupid little crooked smile sitting lazily on his face.

Asshole.
