Fuzzy Fairy Tail - Chapter Eleven
Sorry for the delay in the story. I just started my school semester for the chapters are going to be a little more slow to appear.
It was chaos. True chaos. We were all in a field: the Cullens, The Quileutes, and me, the lone human. It wasn't just any field. It was Edward and my field. I was standing in the middle of the war. Rosalie was being torn apart by Jared and Leah. Seth was chasing after a fleeing Esme. Jasper was single-handedly taking down Quil and Paul. I couldn't stand to see it. Then everything slowed down. My eyes narrowed, and I was suddenly next to Jacob. I looked up into his wolf eyes as Emmett brought his fist down…
I shot up in bed in a cold sweat. That nightmare wouldn't come true. Never. There would be peace. I turned next to me and Jacob wasn't there. My heart was a little empty. I noticed a note on my pillow. It was clearly in Jacob's handwriting:
I had to meet with the pack. Last minute things to be done. I love you, and I'll pick you up later.
Jake
Anxiety hit with affection. It was an odd mix. I looked at the clock: six thirty five. Stupid nightmare. I knew there was no way I was getting back to sleep now. I lied on my back and stared at the ceiling. There were only about twelve hours until the meeting. I felt sick to my stomach with fear. I had no idea how I would make it through the day.
I got out of bed and decided to shower before school. I went into the hall and took a towel out of the closet. I turned on the water as hot as I could stand it and climbed in. I let the hot water wash over me. It was comforting. It reminded me of Jacob. I sighed. I was so afraid to lose him. No, it wouldn't come to that. I turned off the water and stepped out of the tub, wrapping the towel around myself.
I walked into my bedroom and looked at the clock again: six fifty five. School was going to be very long. I got dressed in jeans and a green tee shirt, grabbing a zip up blue sweatshirt for over top. I ran a brush through my hair and pulled it into a low ponytail: seven ten. I went downstairs after putting on some sneakers, and Charlie was sitting at the kitchen table.
"You're up early," he commented.
"Yeah, I guess I didn't feel like sleeping anymore," I lied. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised, but just shrugged his shoulders. I don't know if he bought it. I pulled down the fixings for cereal and poured a bowl. I ate it in silence. I was so nervous. I stared at the clock and watched it tick by.
Charlie got up to leave, luckily not saying anything. I don't think I could bare it.
"Have a good day, kiddo," he said to me.
"You, too, Dad." Shortly after, I was putting my bowl and spoon in the sink and walking out the door: seven thirty.
I drove to school with music in the background. All I could think about was tonight's meeting. I didn't know how the Cullens would react. I didn't know how they would stand the sight of me. Tears escaped as I pulled into a parking spot at the high school. I wiped my eyes and turned off the roaring red truck. I grabbed my bag off the passenger seat and hopped out.
"Bella! Over here," Mike Newton was calling me from our group of friends. I had been hanging out with them at school since I had been dating Jacob. Mike and Angela forgave me for ignoring them for so long, but Jessica was another story. I shuffled over. I needed a distraction, but Mike's distractions usually included asking me out. "So, Bella I was thinking," he paused. Any second now I would have to turn him down again. "How would you like to go to Port Angeles with me on Saturday?" He was still hopeful.
"Mike, I don't think Jacob would like that very much." I had to consistently remind him I was dating Jake. I was like if he didn't see it, it didn't exist.
"Oh, right. Sorry." Mike hung his head.
"Oh! Burn," Ben called from next to Angela. Mike shoved him. Not the distraction I hoped for but a distraction all the same.
The day passed with me barely able to focus on classes. Angela pulled me aside at lunch to ask about it.
"You seem out of it, Bella." Angela always asked things without being invasive.
"Yeah, I just have big plans with Jake tonight," I responded. It wasn't a full lie.
"Oh okay. Have fun!" She let us get our lunch in silences, and when we sat at our table, she cleared her throat to make an announcement. "Since we are graduating next week," I started choking on my water. Ben patted my back.
"Next week?" You're kidding, right?" I looked around the cafeteria and saw the posters displaying graduation information. Had I just been going through the motions that much?
"Bella, where have you been?" Jessica quipped snidely.
"Yeah, It's June, Bella." Angela said calmly, almost comforting me. I sighed and waved my hand for her to proceed. I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. "Anyway," she paused looking for another interruption. "I am having a small party at my house for graduation the Saturday after. Bella, you're welcome to bring Jacob. I'll hand out invitations in the next few days."
"Awesome," Mike was excited. I was, too, honestly. Despite the shock of learning about graduation, it was be nice to have a normal event for once if I made it through tonight. I shuddered at the thought. The rest of the school day was focused on the party places and thoughts about graduation. I didn't remember if I had been accepted to any colleges. I would have to look through my papers.
After school, I waved goodbye to my friends, and I hopped into my truck to go home and wait for Jacob. It was waiting for a war. It was waiting for an end.
