Okay, yes I know this a little late, I don't really have an excuse... so yea,
ON WITH IT!
9. My Bella
Previously . . .
And with that Edward dashed out the window. Upon landing, he realized something.
He was in love with Isabella Swan, and nothing would change that. He had a feeling Bella felt the same way.
Edward smiled at the thought, and ran home.
Bella sank to the floor, she had just had an epiphany.
She was unconditionally, and irrevocably in love with Edward Cullen.
And it felt so good.
In minutes Edward was home, his family was waiting for him. Alice was grinning like a maniac.
"YOU LOVE HER!" She screeched before he even got into the door.
If Edward could of blushed, he was sure as hell he would have right then and there.
"He's not denying it!" Alice squealed. She was happy for her brother.
Esme looked absolutely elated. She had been worried that Edward was changed to young. It hurt her to see her son alone all the time. And he couldn't of fallen in love with a better girl.
Jasper raised an eyebrow at him.
"And why exactly are you embarrassed?" he asked.
Edward honestly had no reason.
"Good job brother, it's about damn time also!" Emmett bellowed, running up to clap him on his back, with excessive force.
"Thanks," Edward said sarcastically, though he still had that same grin plastered on his face. He loved Bella, and was almost positive that she felt the same way.
"Wow Edward, out of all girls, you choose the one that's not even our species..." Rosalie said, though she had a smile too, Bella wasn't so bad, she found it hard to hate her. She hoped they could be friends.
Everyone looked at Rose like she had three heads.
Rosalie Hale -Rosalie freakin' Hale- was being nice.
"Oh don't look at me like that..." She growled.
No one bothered to ask, they figured they could either get it from Alice later or just ignore it altogether.
"Good job son," Carlisle said smiling fondly at his son, he came over and clapped him on the back, much gentler by the way, and then made his way to his study.
Esme dashed over to him and pulled him into her arms.
"Oh Edward, I'm so happy for you," She sounded like she could have been in tears.
"Quit it mom, your making me blush," he teased, but hugging her back nonetheless.
Esme playfully smacked his shoulder, but then leaned up to kiss his forehead.
"I truly am happy for you Edward." She whispered.
It was just him and Jasper then.
"She loves you too, Ed," Jasper murmured, it was as if he was the mind reader instead.
"But,-" Edward started.
"Are you seriously going to doubt me? The person who feels emotions?!" Jasper asked incredulously. He was contemplating if something had gone wrong during Edward's transformation that affected his brain.
"Shut up, and no, I do not have something wrong with my head." He said.
"Alright then..." he said, not really believing him, but went to go find Alice.
It was just Edward then. He sat at the piano bench, and started to play softly. He was thinking about Bella at the time. And unknowingly, he had created a beautiful song. It was almost like a lullaby. He dedicated it to Bella.
He jumped when Alice yelled his name.
"EDWARD! Bella's getting ready, go and pick her up! We'll meet you at school!" She practically sang.
And with that, Edward was back at Bella's home.
Bella's day started off as usual, she put away her book, took a shower, and got ready for school. Yup, pretty normal.
Until she went outside to her car.
On her driveway, she saw a different, yet familiar car.
A silver Volvo.
Edward came out of the car and smiled his crooked smile at her.
"Would you like to ride with me today?" he asked. Funny thing is, he was actually giving her a choice, she didn't have to if she didn't want to.
Bella may be slightly insane, but she wasn't stupid.
"Of course," She answered, smirking, and flushing a light shade of pink.
And that made Edward's grin turn into a smirk, and Bella's heart stuttered.
She walked to the passengers side, but Edward made it over there before her, and opened the door for her. Of course he cheated, using his insane speed.
"Can you at least try to act human? I have neighbors you know..." Bella scolded playfully.
Edward just continued to smirk.
The ride to school was silent, a comfortable silence. Until Bella asked;
"How long have you been waiting anyway?" Bella asked looking at him.
Edward drove one handed, the other hand laying lazily on his lap. Neither of them wore seatbelts. They didn't need to.
"Only about five minutes, Alice told when to go over," he looked over to her and winked. Bella's heart once again sped up.
Freakin' traitor... She thought sourly. She knew Edward could hear it. And she blushed at that.
Edward looked at her funny.
"What about the rest of them?" Bella asked, trying to change the subject they weren't really having verbally.
"They'll meet us at school," Edward said.
Bella made a silent 'Oh'.
In no time they made it to the school, they still had about 10 minutes until class started.
Edward and Bella met the others in the cafeteria.
"Bella!" Alice yelled. Running up human speed to give her a hug. Bella was almost used to it. She had a feeling this was going to be a common greeting.
"Hey Alice," Bella replied.
Alice beamed.
"Hiya Bella!" Emmett said waving an enormous hand at her.
"Hey Emmett!" Bella replied with the same amount of enthusiasm.
"Hello, Bella" Rosalie said softly, smiling genuinely.
"Hi Rose," Bella said.
Jasper acknowledged her. He looked in pain. Bella couldn't imagine what he was going through, being the newest vampire introduced to the 'vegetarian' diet.
"So Bella, what kept Eddie here so long at your place...?" Emmet ask suggesting the obvious, he waggled his eyebrows.
Rosalie proceeded to smack him upside his head.
Alice giggled, while Jasper shook his head. Edward glared at Emmett, and Bella blushed tomato red.
"We talked Emmett, we talked." Edward said slowly.
"Okay..." Emmett said, smiling that goofy smile.
It was time for class now.
Everyone went to their respective classes, though Edward would walk Bella to hers, and then wait for her when the hour was over.
Bella could feel the humans bore holes into her back. She shivered.
And of course, Edward noticed.
"Are you alright?" he asked, worry dripping each word.
Ever since they had their epiphanies, it had changed, though it was a good change. Though they weren't actually together, the connection was still there, and they felt it.
"I'm fine, it's just... don't these people have anything better to do than to bore holes in the back of my head?!" Bella whisper-screamed. They were walking toward biology.
Edward laughed. She was like a kitten thought it was a lion, her temper that is.
He couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that Bella was just as strong as any other vampire, well except for Emmett, but that's besides the point.
Sitting in there respective seats for biology, Mike Newton decided to walk up to the their table and talk to Bella.
This made Edward irrationally angry, and he had no idea why.
"She lives!!" He said obnoxiously. He was reminding her of the van incident for some odd reason.
"Er, yeah?" her reply came out like a question.
"How'd you get outta the way anyway?" Mike asked.
"Edward pulled me out of the way." Bella said in a bored voice. This appeased Edward a little. Bella noticed he was tense, his eyes darker than their usual topaz.
"Really? I didn't see him..." He trailed off.
Bella nodded.
"So, Bella, the dance's coming up..." Mike trailed off again.
Okay, here we go, just ask her to the dance, she'll say yes. Wait what if Cullen's going with her?
God why can't she see what a circus side show he is? Mike seethed, his thoughts laced with jealousy.
Jealousy.
That's what Edward was feeling.
He nearly laughed at the pure absurdity, jealousy was such a, human, emotion.
Edward didn't realize he had zoned out, and quickly refocused on their conversation.
"...was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" Newton finished.
Bella hadn't noticed she had zoned out either. This boy just droned on, and on, and on.
"Huh?" She replied. She was aware of his mouth moving, but all she heard was 'Bluh, hubluh hu DEEEEEEEEEE Daaaaa' She was focusing on Edward. He had the funniest facial expressions. He looked angry, then surprised, the amused, then angry again.
You okay? She lifted her shield and asked him. He jumped slightly.
She faintly saw his eyes roll up toward the ceiling, then down toward the desk.
Bella smiled, though she knew something was up.
"The dance? With me?" Mike asked again, though his confident exterior was disappearing.
"A dance... dancing, besides, I uh have to go to Seattle that weekend." Bella quickly said. She could see Edward's shoulders vibrating with silent laughter. Whatever was bothering him before, wasn't bothering him anymore.
"Can't you go some other weekend?" He begged.
Can't he just leave? Edward and Bella thought at the same time.
"Sorry, no, you should ask Jessica..." Bella suggested.
Newton nodded, and sat dejectedly at his seat.
Edward turned to her.
"So, what are you really doing this weekend?" Edward asked amused.
"Apparently, I'm going to Seattle..." Bella said.
"How about I take you-" Bella cut him off.
"I swear to god if your going to ask me to the dance..." Bella threatened.
Edward laughed.
"And if I am...?" He taunted.
"You know that saying, 'I brought you into this world, I can take you out...'" Bella trailed off, smirking evilly.
Of course she wouldn't though, she hated the thought of killing anyone, especially the man she just happened to fall in love with. She was just messing with him.
Edward shook his head, still amused.
"Actually, I was going to ask you if I could take you to this place I found two years back." He said.
"I don't like surprises..." Bella grumbled.
"Oh you'll like it, would you like to go?" He asked again.
"I'd like that." Bella replied.
Review.
Okay, so I was wondering for the next chapter, should I finish off the school day, or start off like 'the day went on in similar fashion...'
Oh and if I can't update by Christmas,
Happy Holidays people!!!
Anyway, until next time,
Peace out.
