The World
Bella sat in class for a week, she barely noticed the boys were trying to distract her, and she never heard anything anyone said anywhere, she barely noticed that she was doing her homework or responding like she should. Jake stood close to her and watched her every move especially after he told her that Edward had given him the go ahead to be with her; she felt nothing.
She thought he would fight for her and that he would want to be with her; she couldn't function and she kept dropping her books every time he passed her. But what killed her the most was the fact that he kept walking.
She wanted to scream at the back of his head and grab his attention. Alice stayed away from her and she felt like she was a leper; she didn't do anything wrong. why was she being punished? Every so often the words I'm sorry would pulse through her world from Jake but she began to get into the habit of ignoring him when he got into those moods, Charlie would look in on her and told her more than once that she didn't have him fooled, but she didn't care anymore.
Every night she began to get into a habit of looking out her window and she'd find him standing under window looking up at her and she'd feel like that in that moment they could go back to what they were, but every night he'd turn and walk away from her. She'd stand there longer than she should, just staring down at him willing him to come to her because she didn't have the heart or the hope to think that he wanted her. She found his habit puzzling but she was also afraid to go to him because she was afraid he was just figment of her imagination.
It was the second week and she sat in the lunchroom with Angela and Jake, her food still left untouched when Jake threw down his books and walked away from the table, Angela looked over to Bella and saw she didn't react she was back into her own little world.
Jake walked purposfully to the table where Edward was sitting, "Enough man, she's sitting there like she's in a coma and you don't look any better, do something or so help me…"
"Jake, enough." Jacob looked to Jasper, "What?"
"Leave him alone, man." Jasper said in between bites of spaghetti.
"Are you sh…."
"Look, I know that you have dog tendencies but take your fleas and go away." Emmett spoke up.
Jake was reeling as he turned away because he was in shock, when Alice, Emmett, and Jasper had all winked at him all at the same time. He didn't know what they were up to but he was very afraid. He plopped down into the seat with a stunned expression. Bella stood up and went into her routine when the bell rang, Jake followed like he always did making sure she made it to class okay without running into walls.
Alice waited for Edward to come back to Earth, it usually took him a little longer after the bell rang and Bella would walk away, his eyes would still be looking at the last place he saw her disappear to and then finally he'd grab his stuff and slowly stand u; he hadn't been eating at all and he was looking like he hadn't been sleeping. Alice kept finding his window opened every night so she knew he had been sneaking out of the house and she didn't have to wonder where he was going. She gnawed her lower lip and quickly stopped when Edward glared at her, the first time she did it, she thought he was going to rip her head off, he had roughly ran his hand through his hair three times and nearly pulled it out as he explained to her that it reminded him too much of Bella and Alice realized that she had picked it up from Bella.
Edward let out a deep sigh and walked out of the cafeteria.
