Chapter 10

Yeah, I was the unluckiest person in the world. I woke up half an hour late, missed breakfast, got a flat tire, and forgot I had a test in World History. Dude! Luky for me, I have the greatest friend in the universe. As soon as I got to school, Alice came running to my resuce.

"First things first. Here is a bagel from Dunkin Donuts. Next, I have notes for the test you can borrow during lunch and I have some makeup in my bag. if we go right now to work on it, we might get to first period."

"Alice, you are my hero! Wait, I did my makeup." I stared at her for a minute as se just smiled at me. I rolled my eyes, grabbed her arm, and headed towards the girls bathroom.

To my surprise, we were done in about 20 minutes. But Alice also wrestled me out of my shirt and threw one of her skimpy ones on me. I would never admit it, but this was one of my favorite shirts that she owned.

"Ok, this is not my best work but a vast improvement from how you looked when you got here. I'm sorry, but I really need to go through your closet and throw A LOT away."

"Excuse me. I have been dressing myself for a very long time and doing just fine, thank you very much!"

"Yes, but that was before we had a super hot older guy to get you ready for. Speaking of which, have you heard from him today?" I had called Alice right after i hung up with Edward. She was of course willing to listen to every cheesy moment. She lived for stuff like this.

"Not since last night. I didn't expect to hear anything until he is ready to tell me where we are going for dinner. I wanted to text him this morning but thought better of it. I don't want to be that girl."

"I think you did the right thing by not texting him. Let him come to you. You chased Jake and that ended badly. Enjoy someone chasing you for a change."

Right as I was about to say something else, the bell rang, signalling that we had missed first period. I will have to explain that to my parents tonight, but I first have to get to second period.

We both ran out of the bathroom yelling byes to each other. I turned the corner too quickly and ran into something that felt like a wall. Not again!

I fell on my back and looked up, seeing the blue eyes that had been in most of my dreams since I was 13.

Jacob reached out his hand to help me up, but I hit his hand away from me. I got up on my own to continue on my way to class.

I felt a hand grab my arm, but before I could pull away, I was being shoved into a closet. I looked up and saw Jake turn on the light. He looked mad. Who did he think he was to be mad at me?

"What the hell do you think you are doing grabbing me like that? I have nothing to say to you. Get out of my way."

I tried to push past him. He pushed me back against the wall, pinning me so I couldn't move. I was getting scared that he was going to try something on me. I tried to stay calm, knowing that if I screamed loud enough, someone was bound to hear me.

"Bella, I just need you to stop talking for five seconds and let me talk to you."

"Jacob, get your hands off me and I might give you one second to explain." I pulled away from him and this time he actually let me go. I walked closer to the door trying to decide wheather to yell or run for it.

"Bells. All I wanted to do was talk to you about what happened at the party. I was not in the right state of mind. I think someone had spiked my drink. I would never hurt you."

I looked at him. For a moment, I saw a glimmer of the kid I used to be friends with. I could remember playing in the dirt and making mud pies with him. But just as I remembered what we used to be, I remembered how I felt on Friday night. It made me so sick I couldn't breathe.

"Jacob Black, I am going to say this once. Get out of my way and leave me alone. I do not care what your intentions were. Friday night you hurt me and could have done a lot more. Just let me be."

I pushed him out of the way and ran out of the closet. I ran outside. I felt light headed and needed to sit down before I threw up. I swayed and felt a pair of arms around my waist. I tried to pull away when I heard someone chuckle. I looked up and saw the most gorgeous pair of green eyes.

"Hey I was just trying to help. You looked like you didn't feel good."

I stood for a moment and got lost in the depth of the green. Edward has started to become my knight in shinning armor the last few days. I really needed to find a way to pay him back.

"Yeah, um, I just had a bad moment and needed some air. But, what are you doing here? I mean, don't get me wrong it's nice to see you. I mean if you are here to see me. I don't want to keep you from whatever you are doing. I should go."

I could not keep myself from rambling on. It was like all control over my brain was not available when Edward was around.

"Bella, stop. I came to pick up Emmett for a doctor appointment. But I am glad I ran into you. I was going to call you this afternoon about our dinner plans."

I smiled and started giggling before I knew what I was doing. Oh, no! Please do not let me snort. I looked down at my shoes to stop laughing, but felt my head being drawn back up. Edward grabbed my chin and made me look at him. He moved in close and before I knew it, he kissed me. It was a soft, sweet, innocent kiss.

"Sorry. I just have been wanting to do that since Emmett carried you through my front door. Hope that is ok."

He smiled again at me. I felt like mush. Right at that moment, Emmett came walking out the door.

"Yo Eddie! Little Bella! What are you two turds doing?"

"Noting, Emmett. Come on, we have to get going so we aren't late. I will call you later Bella."

He leaned in and kissed my cheek. It was bout that time that I heard kissing noises coming from Emmett. I looked over just in time to see Edward smacking him on the back of the head. I started laughing as I walked inside. I was feeling a ton better and knew I could face the day that was ahead. I had a knight in shinning armor that would come to my rescue with just a phone call.
