Chapter X
I am not Crazy
Third POV
Lunch…
The Cullens are sitting together around their usual table with Leah. Two girls of the siblings are glaring at each other for what occurred in the hallways earlier.
"If you have a problem then say it to us Rose. Not scaring her like that. Why in the hell did you do that anyways?"
Alice asked in annoyance. Her eyes darkening. Her day is really growing frustrating, because of that mutt and now her sister.
"Is it only me who noticed what's going on with that girl?"
Rosalie said through clenched teeth, equally annoyed.
"Rosalie that's enough. What are you talking about?"
Leah said as calm as possible, looked at Jasper with sympathy. She held her mate's hands who is struggling with the emotions to keep Alice in her seat and Rosalie to calm down.
Rosalie leaned closer on the table.
"I know something is off with her Alice. I definitely saw her smirked your way in your first period, I was passing your room. Then when you and Jacob are about to get in each other's throats, she was staring from the back like a psycho enjoying it. What if she wanted you two biting off each heads huh? That's a kind of a sadistic bitch behind that human you see. Did you ever think what if she's a trap made by the Volturi? Those people are more advance now than us. You can't just trust her!"
They were surprised at her statement. Alice though shook her head and won't believe her.
"Stop it Rosalie, I had enough of you. I won't fall for that. Just because you think I'm searching for nothing doesn't mean you have to stop me. You will never understand me and the feeling of being lost. So fuck off."
Alice said with narrow dark eyes, she abruptly stood up to leave. Edward looked at Rosalie before standing up to follow their sister out of the cafeteria.
Emmett pulled Rosalie close and rubbed her arm, telling her to relax. Jasper sighed and Leah kissed her cheeks which made him smile.
Angela looked their way worriedly, hearing what transpired between the two vampires.
She looked at Bella beside her. The brunette girl is too deep in thought. Observing her friend, Angela noticed how paler she is and she didn't even talked much, only short answers when asked. Jacob seems attached next to Bella too, probably causing more conflict with the shifter and the vampire.
"You can skip y'know. They won't mind it and understands your situation Bella."
Angela told her. Bella shook her head and she cringed which didn't escape from her.
"I'm fine. I want to distract myself anyways."
She murmured at Angela. Jacob scooted closer.
"If it's alright I can visit at your house later."
"Sure."
Angela was surprised at Bella's answer. Jacob grinned at that. They are that close now? Just this first period she caught Bella had always looking at Alice and even smiled back. The way the brunette acted once was giddy. Then suddenly, she's letting Jacob close to her while bluntly ignoring Alice or any Cullens that were glancing her way during lunch.
What's up with you guys? Angela asked to herself.
Bella glanced at her and smiled a bit before the bell rang.
In the next class, Bella kept silent with Edward beside her. But she showed only irritation when he smiled at her then looked away. Edward though feel dejected to be friendly, he brushed it off since he wasn't nice either in first meeting.
Yet again, throughout the class and to the next one, Bella's expressions are noticeably changing from curiosity to surprise to awkwardness to annoyance then back to pensive. She would groan and huff or say something out of nowhere. This got their attention and they are either amused or weirded out. They all have the same questions, what's happening to her?
Few humans starts murmuring to themselves, spreading how Bella Dwyer lost her mind since her mother's death.
"Stop it."
Bella whispered to herself again.
"See. She's going crazy."
Rosalie mumbled out, earning warning growls from a certain pixie vampire and overprotective shifter.
Jacob look smug whenever Alice would glance at them. He even constantly talk or carry her bag for her which Bella don't mind. If only the brunette is aware of what's happening around her, she will see those almost pitch black eyes boring holes on Jacob's head.
Leah, Edward and even Angela is getting tired of this. Not for Emmett who is enjoying the silent war going on and how dense the human. Jasper seems interested and he admits, this is somewhat funny.
Alice knows there's one point Jacob have to let go Bella, in Art subject. He watched Bella from the door, she took her seat and once again looked down on her notes she wasn't even reading.
"Excuse me."
Alice said when she passed by Jacob. The shifter grabbed her forearm into a tight grip. Their eyes meeting for another glaring contest. The students in the hallways hesitating whether to enter to their class or not because fuck, they were scared to interrupt the two. So a crowd has formed in front of that door and the teacher is at the background. Angela cussed and run towards them, yanking Jacob away to their next class and to avoid any trouble. They had caught so many attentions this day and she can't let them go berserk with this humans around.
It was Alice turn to be smug and look away from him as she walked inside the room, ignoring the attention they got.
Alice's POV
"Hi Bella!"
I greeted loud enough. I sat beside her since no one occupies it. Actually, the two of us are the firsts to be in the room. The human looked up and instantly blushed.
"H-hi, Alice."
I smirked inwardly for causing her to act like this, she's nearly hyperventilating. Bella looked closely to my eyes and probably noticed them darker than amber. I couldn't really care about that right now. Her eyebrows rose then she scratched the back of her head, looking at me sheepishly. Isn't that adorable?
"Thank you by the way."
"For what?"
"For being concerned. And please thank you Dr. Cullen too."
I smiled a bit. I placed my hand on top of her right hand that keeps tapping on her jumping right knee. She stops her bouncing legs.
"How are you holding up? I hope I can do something for you."
I sincerely stared at her, wanting her to be alright after what happened to her mother. Bella's heart is beating fast and her face almost in distinct to a tomato.
Her blood, it's calling to me again and almost taste the aphrodisiac in the back of my tongue. I stopped breathing.
"I'm holding myself together, I'll be fine."
I decided to remove my hand out of sympathy for her nerves. My fingers brushed on the warm soft and fragile skin on the back of her hand, sending me a shiver because of the memory from this morning. Her own shiver didn't escaped from me.
Bella cleared her throat and pulled out a pen to start another doodling.
"Hey Bella,"
Bella looks up, her attention completely belongs to me.
Score.
I thought but shook my head slightly to forget the stinky mutt Jacob. I stared into Bella's chocolate brown eyes, her face very innocent.
"I'll be straightforward to you. Can we hang out?"
I asked. I have to get close to her Edward, I know you can hear me. I'm sorry but I have to get close to her.
Please say yes, please say yes. I prayed. Bella blushed yet she managed to smile. Hear heart sped up.
"Yes."
She answered. My smile widened and I can't look away from her. She has this thoughtful expression with a simple blush in her cheeks, then her eyebrows furrowed.
"Not tonight!"
She exclaimed then she realized my surprise at that.
"S-sorry. I mean not tonight. Jacob will be visiting me tonight Alice."
I want to huff at that but stopped myself. Instead I hugged her. She was stiff at first but she relaxed, I can even hear her sighing and leaning on me.
"It's alright. Maybe tomorrow?"
Bella wasn't discreet when she took a long inhale with her nose close to my neck. Good, I'm not the only one. She nodded. I slowly pulled away and see her face. She blinked then smile.
"Tomorrow."
"Great."
I smiled back to her and sat properly, keeping my lips from smiling too wide. I glanced at her again and frowned a bit at my vision this morning.
Nothing is out of ordinary in her. Can Rosalie's suspicion be enough to answer the enigma which is Bella Dwyer?
Bella's POV
Gym. Oh I dread this one. Alice giggled beside me, the sound of her making my insides fluttering. The wolf within me strangely submitted to keep quiet and disappear for now, but I can still feel it purring whenever the beautiful pixie like vampire is close to me. We're walking to the gym and she linked our arms which I liked because we're closer. I can smell her better and feel her coldness.
"That face you just made, it says how you detest gym."
She playfully said with a pointed finger on my face as we entered the room. She pulled away to open her locker. I suddenly want to whine, instantly missing her proximity.
"I'm not coordinated."
I mumbled out and opened my own locker. I wear a gray shirt and black cotton pants then my shoes. Alice was done when we met outside and she's talking with Emmett.
"Hi Bella!"
Emmett surprised me with a bear hug then he put me down. He doesn't look threatening or scary, but a hairless bear with dimples. I smiled at him, easily trusting the burly vampire. The wolf have no problem with him but it still bristled either reasons is his towering height or that he is a vampire.
"Nice meeting you Emmett."
"See, she's nice to me."
He chuckled and Alice gave him a look. He ignored her.
"Nice meeting you Bella Bear. So pipsqueak said you're afraid of gym."
I looked at Alice and pouted at that. She giggled and skipped beside me, nudging my shoulder with hers.
"Are you?"
"I'm not afraid, psh."
I defended. I noticed our classmates warming up with volleyball. Oh crap, not volleyball. Coach Clapp shouted.
"We'll do Volleyball!"
I groaned and realized the two snickering at me. Alice linked her arm on mine as she dragged me with her. They paused for a bit and looked across the room from where Jacob is staring at us. I frowned seeing he is glaring at Alice again but he smiled at me. Angela with him on the other side and waved.
"Mike and Jacob you go pick your teammates."
Jacob quickly spoke.
"Bella!"
I think I felt Alice rolled her eyes beside me. She smiled at me though and nodded to go to Jacob. Her and Emmett on Mike's team. Leah, Jasper and Angela with me on Jacob's team.
"Just stay close to me."
Jacob told and I nodded.
The game started with the ball from Mike's team, Mike doing the serve. Jasper hits it back and Emmett blocked it by the net. Point on Mike.
Mike suddenly shouted across the room.
"Hey Bella! You go out with me if you lose!"
I jumped at the sounds of growls that reached my ears. Including mine which surprised me and the others. Jacob looked at me and I could feel the baffled stares. I think that one got loud.
Stupid hormonal boy! No one's telling me what to do.
I glared at Mike and he seems taken aback when he received more glares.
The game continues. Whenever the ball goes to Jessica, Tyler or Mike's friends, it will come flying towards me. But Jacob and Leah were close to my position. I was in awe when Emmett set the ball and I saw Alice jumped high to spike it. It goes towards Jacob and he deflected it, Jasper hitting the ball and scored.
I looked at Alice in awe because of her spike. That was cool, not to mention hot. She looked my way and winked, making me blush. Gosh, my face will surely get cooked if I keep blushing because of her.
I huffed to myself. Focus Bella, can't have your face marked with the ball again. I cringed remembering that time a basketball hits me.
I keep tumbling on my own feet and Jacob would always help me up, much to my embarrassment. Of course, the others find me as the weak chain and sending the ball towards me for fun. Strangely, Alice and Emmett weren't participating much and passing the ball to others or they won't do much. One ball did get to me, instead of backing away, I stood there and my arms automatically moved in its own. I hit it back with equal strength and it was soaring towards Mike who wasn't in time to dodge it. He fell on his rear and held his nose.
Coach Clapp whistled and declared us winner. I blinked and realized what I did.
Wow.
I really did that to Mike's face.
It feels… so DAMN good.
I unconsciously smirked seeing blood gushed out of his nose and Jessica glaring at me. That coppery scent sending thrill in me with the look of fear from that jerk's face. A shiver of delight crawled down in my spine, the wolf growling low.
"Bella!"
I realized that Angela is standing beside me with furrowed eyebrows. I snapped out and looked at her innocently.
"Ange."
"That was a nasty one. Let's go."
She said and smiled. She grabbed my wrist but I flinched at the sudden pain, pulling back. We looked at my right wrist and it starts to throb painfully.
"I think I broke my wrist."
I said, hissing. Jacob instantly held my hand and Alice was beside me with worried expression.
"Let's go to the clinic."
Jacob said and I walked beside him. The others were a little behind us and Alice looks irritated. I don't know why, but I suddenly snorted on our way to the clinic. I covered my mouth with my good hand and burst into fits of short giggles. They stopped and watched me amusedly. I instantly stopped and pursed my lips as we keep walking.
"Sorry. It's just,"
I gestured with my hand and grinned.
"I hit Mike, worth the broken wrist."
Emmett grinned followed by Jasper and Angela. Soon we're snickering when we saw Mike in the clinic as well. They checked my wrist and told me it is broken, then bandaged it. Great! I can't use my hand for long now. Why do you have to do that?
He deserves it. He deserves more than that for treating me like his hoe.
And what do I get? A broken wrist. I could had only asked Jacob to do it for me right?
Forget it, you're too dumb to ask him do things for you human. It huffed indignantly. It is offending you refer me as 'it' when it's clear I am you. The wolf bristled. Not quite now.
Jacob offered to drive for me and the wolf approved, also to take us back to the house as soon as possible.
"Bella wait."
Alice called and I turned. She suddenly embraced me and I instantly wrapped my arms around her middle to return it. I buried my face on her shoulders and had the urge to nuzzle on her. I closed my eyes at her heavenly scent. I caught my body pulsating. I pulled away and smiled back at the beautiful pixie. My heart melts just seeing her smile and she's so close.
Everything dawned on me as I stared back in her golden eyes that expresses her feelings.
I am not crazy.
The wolf within me completely surrendering because of her, my soulmate.
I can finally touch her, she's here in my arms and we are alive. How much I want to held her and kiss her, I can't explain. My heart swelling and I want to burst in joy. I'm too overwhelmed that this is no more dream and we can be together again.
I am not crazy.
I ignored Jacob beside us who cleared his throat.
"Bye."
"See you."
I whispered and her eyes widened at that. I smiled then did the thing I wanted from the very first moment, or close to that. I kissed her in the cheek, near her tempting lips.
When I pulled away, Alice is too stunned and if she could blush she will be bright red.
I get inside the car and Jacob drove us away, leaving Alice standing on her spot and staring at my car.
She will understand soon, in the right time.
I nodded. I hope she will.
Third POV
Jacob glanced at Bella before they reach her house. The brunette is smiling to herself and the blush won't leave her pale cheeks. He smiled seeing her happy.
"We're here."
He get out and being a gentleman, opened the door for Bella. He doesn't know why but it feels great being in her presence and doing things for her no matter how simple it is. She smiled at him saying her genuine thanks.
"Wanna come inside? I can make dinner too."
Bella offered politely. Jacob nodded and opened the door of the house for her.
"So you're really alone in here?"
He asked and helped her removed her jacket to hang it. Bella motioned him towards the living room and opened the television.
"Yeah."
"Where's your Dad?"
"He's gone. Died of cancer."
The brunette shrugged and nodded at the couch for him to sit. Jacob suddenly feel shame for that.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to bring that up."
"It's alright. Excuse me, I'll heat lasagna. Lasagna's alright?"
He nodded eagerly. Bella disappeared to the kitchen and came back with sodas. She tossed one to Jacob and they sat across each other. Jacob keeps smiling like a fool making Bella chuckle.
"I assure you. I'll be here whenever you need me Bells. Friends?"
He asked, wishing the brunette will be accepting of him. He never felt this strange feelings and the strong connection he has for Bella. He felt the need to keep her from harm's way, protect her and if he has to bow he will. Indeed, he found his mate. He can wait for the right time until Bella can see his feelings.
Bella smiled and raised her own soda. They turned to see the new series.
"I'll be here for you."
Jacob whispered to himself with a elated smile. He didn't noticed the smirk on the other side of her lips.
"I know Jake."
She whispered.
There you see Bella slight behavior changes, did you guys spotted it? Good luck to Alice. Peace, I don't want to hurt her, so forgive me
And how will Bella prevent her wolf from eating away her humanity? She needs to move fast. Tick Tock Tick
