Chapter 11: Jealousy

E POV

When I saw Mike walk into the classroom, I was thinking about how good it would feel to smash his head into the lockers. Maybe give him another black eye. When he made his way passed me, he actually had the guts to glare at me but He flinched when I reached for my pencil and I smirked at that, it was good that he was afraid, he should be. He sat next to Bella and whispered something in her ear causing her to cry. She met my eyes and she shook her head, she was trying her best to stop the tears and it broke my heart. Not for long, I was going to put Mike in his place. I was just waiting for the opportunity to kick his ass, it would definitely make me feel better, but I don't think Bella would like that.

As the class went on, I thought of possible ways that I could kill Mike without being caught by the police or Bella. There was one where I threw him into the school's pool and drop a hair dryer in as well and another one was where I locked him in the trunk of a car and drove it into a creek. None of them were working well, so I stopped thinking diabolical thoughts and jumped when I piece of paper poked me in the side.

"Whose it from?" I asked the person behind me, she pointed to Bella.

I opened it and saw her shaky handwriting.

He's mad Edward, I'm scared.

I'll take care of it, don't worry.

Its not like you can be with me every second of the day, he will find me alone and I don't want to get hurt.

Trust me, I have you. Don't worry.

The classes passed in the blink of an eye and next thing I know, I'm sitting at the lunch table with my family and the Hales. I saw Bella walking with Jacob, who had his arm around her shoulders, they laughed about something as they went to get their lunch. Alice obviously saw what I was staring at and laughed, "Seems the good old Eddie is jealous," she enjoyed taunting me.

"I'm not jealous, I just don't like that kid," I said as I stabbed at my chicken.

"Right," Alice exaggerated. "Hey Bella! Come sit with us, bring your friend!" Alice ignored my glare and Bella sat across from me, her friend sat next to her. He thinks that just because he has known her forever that he gets the right to be all over her. I tried to control myself as best as I can. My fist was clenched tightly around my fork and I could feel the plastic digging into my skin.

"So, Bella. . . whose your friend?" Emmett decided to test my patience.

"Oh sorry, let me introduce you to my friend Jacob Black, he transferred here from La Push Academy," she paused and then introduced each and everyone of us. "This is Alice, Emmett, Rose, and Jasper and you already met Edward earlier." I sent a nod in his direction as she said my name. As the conversations went on, I saw that he was completely entertained with messing with her hair and holding her hands, and once again, she seemed comfortable with it. I felt something like a fire burning inside of me. I wanted to rip his arms out, especially because every time he touched her, he'd look at me with those eyes, like he was doing everything to make me jealous. It was obvious that he was testing me, so I decided to test his limits. "So, why did you transfer to Forks High? I've heard a lot about La Push Academy. Everybody says it's a good school. Don't you think you were better off there?"

"No, what I really think is that, since you seem so fond of them, why don't you apply there? I'm sure you can still get your forms. If I were you, I'd go there as soon as possible." He smirked at me. Before I could respond, Alice kicked me from under the table.

"Well, it was nice to meet you Jacob. I need to borrow Edward for a moment so will you excuse us for a moment," she dragged me out of the cafeteria and down the hallway. I just about punched a locker with anger.

"Why did you take me out of there?" I nearly yelled from all the fury I felt. This Jacob kid was really getting to me and I couldn't explain as to why it was hurting me this bad.

"Edward, don't you realize that this is what he wants? How can you be so stupid?" Alice growled as she met my stare.

"What do you mean?" I asked feeling confused.

"The obvious. He already noticed the way you look at her and now he's trying to provoke you, so if you lose your temper and fight him, he'll be the victim in Bella's eyes and you'll be the one with no self control. Be smart and don't fall for that! If you want her, you better start fighting because he already started."

"I don't like Bella-" I began to look away from her but she grabbed my chin and yanked me to her level. Her eyes were dark with irritation as she glared at me. "Stop lying to yourself! YOU LIKE HER! Edward, I am your sister and you need to stop acting like I don't know these things." Alice pushed my face away and stomped down the hall. It took me a while to finally understand what my older sister was talking about, I thanked her and skipped the rest of lunch to walk alone to gym.

While Coach Reynolds was taking attendance I noticed that Bella wasn't there and she doesn't she skip class. She's too smart for that, I left to look for her. As I walked through the hall, I began to worry about her and my heart dropped to my feet when I saw that she was unconscious on the floor, her books sprawled everywhere and papers scattered. She was motionless, I ran up to her and carried her to the nurses office as fast as I could. I noticed something wet on my arm. I propped her up on my knee as I looked at my arm, blood was dripping from her head. I walked faster to the office, I was determined to help her. There was only one person who would do this to her.

"Mike," I growled.

Oh, he is sooooo dead. When I brought Bella to the nurses office, the lady said that she was hit in the head with something hard and thick. It could possibly be a baseball bat or even a hard covered book. I thanked her and waited in the reception area for her to wake up. Mike was going to pay, there is no one in this school that would possibly want to cause this much harm to Bella other than Mike. He was getting his revenge and it was going to come back and bite him in the ass . . . hard. I asked to the receptionist if she would call Jasper down to the office, it was an emergency, she called him over the announcements while I paced across the room waiting for his arrival.

Jasper came into the office with a serene look until he saw my worried face. "What's going on?" Jasper asked with a furrow of his brows.
I sat down in a chair and ran my hands through my hair, Jasper sat next to me and I could feel his concern radiating off of him.

"Bella is hurt." I said with a tight voice. "Mike hit her and she is unconcious."

"Are you sure she didn't fall? She's not the most graceful person-"

"This isn't a joke JASPER!" I roared loudly. "She's hurt and I'm worried. He is out to get her and I don't know when he'll stop and ITS ALL MY FAULT!" My anger rose and I punched the wall with all my strength, creating a large dent within it. Jasper didn't say a word, he just watched me as I continued to pace across the floor.

"You know that Emmett and I are there for both of you. Bella is a great girl and she has been through a lot, you have too. We'll watch out for her, don't worry." Jasper reasoned. He was always calm in dangerous situations, I don't know how he does it but I need to learn. Jasper ended up going back to class and I kept on waiting for Bella to wake up but it seemed like forever.

The nurse walked out and I touched her arm as she stepped by, "Is she going to be okay?" I asked softly.

"Yeah. If you want to see her, she's waking up. She woke up a while ago but said that she just wanted to lay down for a bit. She should still be awake." The nurse nodded to the door and I made a sprint for it. I opened the door and Bella was just beginning to sit up before she got off balance. On impulse, I reached out and caught her before she could fall back against the unpadded slab of wood and the crinkled paper.

"Are you okay?"

Bella groaned in pain . . .
