A couple of minutes after Edward left I quickly realized I did not like rejection. Okay, maybe he didn't exactly reject me, but he didn't say what I wanted him to hear. I guess I was assuming. I frowned at myself and got up out of bed.
My hair was a mess and I had black circles under my eyes from lack of sleep.
I walked into the bathroom and found my toothbrush and brushed my teeth.
I was furious with .. Basically everyone in La Push. I was also scared. What if Sam decided to hit Alice? Rose again? I shuddered at the simply thought. The thing that frightened me most was, what if one day, Sam went just a little to far. Now the thing I was confused about the most was, why did Sam want me? Out of all people. I don't even know the guy!
I rinsed my mouth out. I reached for my brush and just decided on brushing it. My sweater was on the floor so I threw it on and out my hood on.
I walked back to my room and put on some blue jeans. My phone had a new message from Rose.
It said:
Come meet me at La Push first beach. 12.30.
I smiled. She wasn't mad anymore. I wonder what was wrong.
The clock on my wall said 11.56. I had just enough time to eat breakfast and get there.
Dad made blueberry pancakes and I smiled when I saw it. Deep inside I felt a soft jab of pain. The last time blueberry pancakes were in my head I was with Edward. I sighed.
The pancakes were just right.
"Dad, I'm going to La Push."
"Cool, be back when ever."
That was my dad for you. He really didn't care what I did. Emmett was sitting in the dining room table chair. I reached over and gave him a hug.
He returned the hug.
When I walked outside the rain was only a soft drizzle. Just right. My truck was sitting on the curb next to Emmett's jeep. Can't you get in trouble for parking cars on the curb? Eh whatever. I opened the door and it squeaked very loud.
Dad was giving me a glare through the kitchen window.
He wanted so bad to get me a better car.
But I happened to love mine. I started the car and pushed down on the pedal. The roads were slick so I was driving extra careful. My car gas thingy said I was low. I decided on stopping since I wouldn't have enough gas to get there and back.
My back was still hurting from that hit from a bat. I shuddered, feeling completely terrible for Jessica.
I started pumping the gas and then Edward came into mind. I instantly looked down. Impulse. I was mad at myself for letting those sexy smiles make me believe I could ever even like him. Let alone love. He was obviously being friendly.
There was a winter chill in the air and my sweater wasn't holding up.
My gas was finally done so I paid and hopped inside.
I was so happy Rose wasn't mad at me. Starting my car again, I thought about Jacob. Jacob has to be telling the truth. If he isn't.. well I'm going to be a tad pist. There needs to be a stop to all of this. I don't understand why nothing is being done about this. Why is Jacob just letting him! I sighed frustrated, remembering Billy.
There wasn't many people out today and the clouds were taking over the sky.
I looked in my rear view mirror and saw nothing. I think I was the only one on the road.
The eeriness was overwhelming. I pursed my lips and blinked a couple of times.
I watch to many scary movies.
But, I do wonder why Rose wanted to meet me at the beach. Why couldn't she have just came over. Dumb Rose. She enjoyed making my life complicated.
I mentally giggled.
By the looks of it, we were passing the border to forks.
Okay, I don't know my way from here.
Glad I brought my phone with me. I didn't want to but decided against, in case.. Someone calls. I picked up my phone and scrolled down to Jake.
I know Jake was going to be furious I hadn't left, but he wasn't going to control my life. It is my life.
It rang five times until his voice answered.
"Hey"
'Hi Jake. Um, I have a question."
"What." He said. More a statement.
"How do I get..To.. First beach?" I said. Barely audible.
"Why the fuck would you wanna know that." He said acidly.
"Oh my dads calling! Talk to you later!"
"Bell-"
I hung up.
Shit! Now he knows I'm over here. His voice sounded frantic when I hung up.
I guess I'm going to have to ask someone how to get there.
While I was driving I came across a guy. He didn't look psycho.
I cleared my throat and he turned around. He smiled.
"Hi! I was just wondering if you could please give me directions to First Beach?" I said.
"Keep going straight and then you should see a dirt road. Take it and keep going."
"Thank you so much."
He was pretty cute.
"Whats your name?' I asked.
"Seth. Seth Clearwater."
"I'm Bella. Bella Swan."
He gave me a warming smile and I said thanks again and drove off.
He was only fourteen or fifteen.
I took Seth's directions when my phone started ringing.
It was Edward.
Great.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Bella! I know where your going. You better come back to Forks right now!"
"Kay." I said then hung up very rudely.
Gosh! Men. They never give me any time to myself. Always trying to control me. Always!
The dirt road was ruff and my truck was doing pleasantly well.
When I got to first beach I was happy to be getting this over with. I left my phone in the car and just got my keys.
The raining got a little harder, but I didn't mine. I love the rain.
I stepped onto the sand and looked around.
That was strange. No one was here. Waiting was what I was going to do.
About six minutes past when I heard the leaves rustle. My head whipped up to see a very tall figure crossing over to the place I was standing. He looked a lot like Jacob.
I was debating on running then thought that would be useless. When he got closer I saw it wasn't Jacob.
"Hey Bella. Rose wanted me to tell you she was just so sorry and she couldn't make it." He laughed. The acid was very thick in his voice. He started making whiny girl sounds when I spoke up.
"Who are you?" I asked.
He took a step closer and laughed.
"Baby I'm Sam."
