an:) hello! It's been a while since I last updated but I'll try to do it more often. Ohhh you may have noticed a few chances on the account: I decided to share this account with my best friend but don't worry all my stories will still be here :D
sooooo I have officially survived my first year of college! Here is what I learned this past semester:
1. Jason Dean is the awesomest person ever!
2.If you bother your friend tru msm saying how awesome Jason is you'll get virtually slap.
3.If you bother your friend saying how awesome Jason is you will get literally slap.
4.Your teacher doesn't care about how awesome you think Jason is.
5.When your teacher tells you to use your time wisely, he doesn't mean use that time to write a poem about Jason, and he doesn't think it's funny when you ask him how your poem sounds.
6.And finally, "Jason Dean is better than Edward Cullen" is not a good argumentative topic (according to your teacher.)
Disclaimer: The best thing about listening to "Adorable" by Artist vs Poet while writing is that I don't care that I have to say that I don't own Twilight.
Chapter 11
(Bella's POV)
I was often told that it was impolite not to listen when someone is talking to you. Does that apply to the voice in my head? It was hard to concentrate on my conversation with Jacob while the voice was reproaching me.
"You are just going to trust him? You can't just jump into a relationship with Edward!"
"I'm not jumping into anything. We talked, we understand each other; we are just trying to see where this lead to."
"You can't trust him!"
"Why not?"
"Something is not right. He's hiding something."
"Leave me alone."
"Earth to Emma" Jacob said. We've been working on my truck for over an hour, I was about to give up hope on that thing.
"Yes…I mean no" I said, trying not to show that I wasn't paying attention.
"What are you talking about?" Jacob said laughing.
"I don't know," I said laughing with him. "Was that a better answer?"
"No. I don't know what you are talking about but what I'm talking about is that I'm done repairing your truck."
"Ohhh, thank you? What was wrong with it?" I was trying to keep the conversation with Jacob going. The more I talked to Jacob, the easier it was to ignore the voice in my head.
"Do you really want to know?" he asked a little skeptical.
"No…I just really need to be somewhere else right now, but I'm freaking out because I don't think this is a good idea. It's just that things are moving too fast and I think that the voice is right. Maybe he is hiding something and I can't trust him because he is really good at hiding things, so maybe he is hiding something, or maybe I'm just being paranoid?" I just rambled on and on, only stopping to catch my breath.
Jacob just stood there. I wish he would stop me before I said something I shouldn't.
"Who are we talking about? Please tell me it is not Mike Newton." Really? After all the rambling is that all he has to say?
"No! I have better taste than that."
"So who?" he asked.
"Edward Cullen" I answered in a whisper.
He snorted. "Cullen? Are you kidding me?"
"What? Why?"
"You should stop seeing him. He's not right for you"
"What? Why?" I repeated.
"He's dangerous. You should stay away from him."
"Ha! So you see: I'm right."
"No you are not!"
"Can you please not interrupt me while I'm talking to Jacob?"
"I'm not saying anything."
"Yes, you are!"
"Ohh, grow up Bella."
"I have no reason to doubt Edward."
"You can't trust him! You just met him!"
He has saved me twice!" I felt that I had to defend Edward. I had to be sure that I was not making a mistake, even if that meant arguing with myself.
We still don't know how he knew that you needed saving. didn't have an answer for that.
"Luck?"
"Stop being so naïve! He's is still keeping secrets."
"You don't know that!"
"I'm getting tired of you Bella. This situation would be a lot different if I was running things. It was your stupidity that got us into this mess. In the end I'll find a way to get rid of you!"
The voice in my head went quiet. I know that maybe it was for the best, but that last threat sent chills down my spine. Maybe I really should go back to Phoenix before this place destroys what's left of my sanity.
"I have to go Jacob, I promised Edward I would meet his family today" I said.
"You can't! I won't let you go into that house!" He growled at me.
"Don't. I'm sorry, I have to go," I said, pushing him and getting into the truck. I waved goodbye while he just stood there. Today was definitely not my day.
On my way over, I tried to concentrate on the things I was planning to do later on in the day, like buying a new phone and mailing a post card to my mom with the number. I didn't want to focus on the fact that I was on my way to a household full of vampires.
I parked close to the house and just walked quickly to the door. I didn't have time to admire the house; if they were waiting for me, it seemed rude to keep them waiting so I could look at the residence.
I hadn't even knocked when Alice answered the door.
"Bella!" she said happily. I took it as a good sign. "We've been waiting for you, they thought you wouldn't show up, but of course I knew that you were going to."
"How could you be so sure?" I asked. She ignored me. Maybe the voice was right. They were keeping secrets.
She walked me to the end of the stairs where two people were waiting. They kept looking up stairs, like if they were expecting something to happen.
"Jasper, this is Bella" Alice introduced me to the boy first.
He nodded. "Nice to meet you."
I smiled. "Hello." I answered. Ok, this wasn't so bad.
"Rosalie, this is Bella," Alice continued with the introductions.
"So you are the one going out with Edward? Tell me, how desperate can you be?" she said.
"Excuse me?"
"Either you are desperate, or you are after something else. What is it? Money?" She continued.
"Rosalie!" a voice scolded her behind my back.
"Bella, this is our mother Esme" Alice said. I turned around to find a woman smiling at me.
Before I could say hello; before Rosalie could responds a loud BOOM was heard coming from upstairs, followed by someone screaming and another BOOM. They ran for the window and I heard Edward yelled his brother's name.
In the next second, Edward was next to me. "I'm sorry about the truck" he said giving me a quick kiss. "I'll deal with you later" he told Rosalie before taking off.
I walked to the window to see what he was talking about. Looking outside the window I couldn't believe my eyes. My truck had a big hole one the roof and the tires were flatten. Well,there go my plans.
"We'll pay for it" Alice said.
"Why? I think we did her a favor," Rosalie said.
I rolled my eyes. "Actually the truck was a friend's. I don't know how to explain that to him."
"Tell him and idiot landed on it" Jasper said.
"I don't think he will believe me"
"We'll have it fixed before you have to give it back" Esme volunteered.
I frowned. "Thank you for the offer but I kinda needed to run some errands today."
"We'll take you" Alice said, taking Jasper's hand.
I was about to object but she continued. "It's ok; I had to go to town anyways."
Alice went to look for the keys to Edward's car; she handed the keys to Jasper. "It's better if we take Edward's car," she told me.
With Jasper behind the wheel, we were in Port Angeles in record time. I was glad when we stopped, I was not used to such fast driving.
"I don't feel very good" I said opening the door and taking a deep breath.
"Just take deep breaths. I think is better if you just stay here for a moment." Alice said.
"Can I borrow your phone?" I asked Jasper. He handed me his phone and the car keys to lock when I was ready to join them. They went into the store.
"Bella?" I heard a familiar voice calling me. I placed Jasper's phone in my pocket and look up and I was shocked for a minute.
"Victoria? What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you" she said.
I got out of the car. "Why?"
"Because, I asked her to" I recognized that voice. Fear washed through me. He had found me.
"Hello, Bella" he said.
I didn't have time to react before he grabbed me and pushed me inside the car; both he and Victoria got inside. He started the car and we drove away.
I tried to control my breathing and I wondered how long it would take Jasper and Alice to realize that the car was gone. Would they think that I took it? It took me a moment to remember that I still had Jasper's phone.
I hope he has Edward on speed dial.
