Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.

This week was completely stressful and so was next week. Anyways since today is Friday, I have more time on my hands, but I have a lot of cramming to do. But I can't help but to procrastinate.

Chapter 11

Accidents Can Happen, Even If You Don't Want It To

Two weeks has passed by. School was a breeze and nobody stared anymore. It was confirmed that Jessica Stanley was the school gossiper, while her mother was the town's gossiper. Who needed magazines when you got the Stanley women?

Mike was still consistently annoying and he recently stopped asking me out, but somehow I think Emmett got something to do with that. Mike could be a really good friend that is if he doesn't take a liking to me.

Lauren would occasionally throw glares in my direction, but seeing how Edward and I don't interact, except for the occasional partner lab assignments in Biology, she just ignored me. Other than that, everyone was pretty pleasant.

I had found a true friend among the rest of the crowd, Angela Weber. She was a tall shy brunette, but nonetheless beautiful. She was currently dating Ben Cheney, who was about a head shorter than her, but they don't seem to mind.

They seem to be one of the only couples in the school who are truly in love, besides Emmett and Rosalie and Jasper and Alice.

People these days just throw around the cliché phrase "I love you!" They have no idea what they are getting themselves into. I would always roll my eyes when my friends tell me their latest romance fantasies and how somewhere in this world, someone was meant for me.

Back then I was naïve and gushed over Valentine's Days and hoping that the romance will come to me. That cupid's arrow will hit me and I will live happily ever after with my intended someone.

Flashback

I gazed across the table into the beautiful gray eyes that belonged to Victor. He flashed a stunning smile at me and I smiled back. I couldn't help it. His smile was contagious.

We were having a candlelit dinner in a fancy restaurant that Victor has bought out for the night. I insisted that this was too extravagant and I wouldn't have minded eating at McDonald's, as long as I was with him I was happy. Of course, he refused.

Soft music came on and I saw a violinist coming near the table. The song sounded beautiful and I couldn't help but put my hands over his.

"Would you care to dance?" Victor asked in a wary tone.

"Victor, you know I can't dance," I sighed.

"Don't worry. I'll be there when you fall. You'll do fine," he insisted. I finally gave in and took his hand. He pulled me up gently and pulled me to the empty floor. He locked my arms around his neck and he put his arms around my waist. We started swaying and I leaned my head against his chest. I smiled. I felt protected and….loved.

"See I told you," Victor said before placing a soft kiss on the top of my head.

We danced to a couple of more songs.

"You know Bella," Victor murmured in my hair.

"What?" I asked, my voice slightly muffled in his chest.

"I think I love you," he said.

"Really?" I whispered.

He pulled his head up and pushed me slightly away from his chest so I could see clearly into his face.

"Bella, I absolutely adore you. I had liked you, but I think I love you now. I can imagine our beautiful kids running around the yard and we would be watching on the porch swing. I want to spend every waking minute with you on Earth and nothing can every change that. Even if you don't return the feelings, I understand. You deserve way better than me, but don't blame me when I dream beautiful dreams of our possible future,"

I softly placed my hands on his cheek.

"I think I love you too," I softly said with a smile on my face.

He kissed me fully on the lips and I couldn't help but to wrap my arms around his neck again.

Flashback ended

I had truly loved him and I always felt that he was my intended someone. Around him I felt happy, joyous and free. Oh what lies he had told me that night and other days. True love, is that even possible?

"Bella, Bella!" Alice snapped her small fingers in my face. I blinked a few tears that were threatening to flow down and turned my attention fully to her.

"Yeah Alice?" I asked, stabbing my fork into the salad Rosalie made me get.

"So since we have nothing to do this week, we are going to have a movie night over at my house! And a sleepover!" Alice squealed smiling widely at me.

"Sleepover?" I groaned mentally.

"Yep! We can give each other makeovers and manicures, not to mention pedicures. It will be so much fun!" Alice excitedly clapped her hands together.

"You mean a sleepover where you can play Bella Barbie and criticize about how I don't take the time to work on my appearance? No thanks,"

"Please Bella. It would be so boring without you there," Alice clasped her hands together and put it under her chin. Her wide eyes filled to the brim with tears and her bottom lip quivering bore into me. She knew that I couldn't resist this.

I raised my hand up in frustration and took an angry bite of my so called quality school lunch. When Rosalie and Alice started talking about new ways to give me a makeover I angrily got up and threw my lunch away.

I stormed out of the lunchroom and decided to go to the library to check out some books. When I reached there, the library was closed today since the librarian was sick. I ran my hands through my hair and decided to go outside. It was fairly dry today.

I sat down in the secluded picnic bench area. I took off my jacket and set it down on the table, just incase. I looked around the parking lot and it was quiet, as opposed to the noisy lunch room. I was on the picnic table next to a big oak tree. I suddenly had a spark of adventurism in me and decided to climb the tree.

I put my jacket back on and got on top of picnic table and closed the small gap between me and the tree. I wrapped my arms and legs around the wide trunk and started scooting up. I grabbed my arms onto the nearest sturdy branch and carefully pulled myself up.

From up here I felt the small rays of weak sunshine hit my brown hair. I could distinctly hear birds chirping and I was soon enclosed in a serene manner. I sat up there for several minutes before deciding to get down. I heard footsteps and froze.

I saw Edward walk out of the school door and near the tree. He plopped down on the grass and leaned his back against the trunk of the tree. From the adjacent angle I could the side of his face. His face was in a grimace and he buried his face in his hands.

I decided to try to get down as quietly as possible without him noticing I was here. I stood up carefully holding on to the trunk of the tree for support. I was about to jump for the picnic table when I felt the tree shake, hard. My hands lost its grip and due to my horrible coordination that always appear at the worst time, I fell.

I fell at an awkward angle and my left leg had a sudden, powerful pain. I thought I heard a crackling snap when I fell. I moaned in pain.
