A/N: Okay… yeah. I had to rewrite this chapter because I deleted it on accident… sorry! Enjoy it now that its up.
Bella POV:
"Travis?" I said quietly.
"I know."
"You don't even know what I was about to say," I pointed out.
"I know," he repeated honestly.
"Okay. What was I going to say?" I challenged.
"That you kissed Edward," he said simply.
I stared at him for a minute. "Who told you?"
"No one. I just know."
I raised an eyebrow. I had blocked his power all day. There was no way he could know.
"How'd you find out?" I asked skeptically.
"I knew before you did. The first day I saw you at school."
I thought about this for a minute. "So what you're saying," I said sarcastically. "Is that you called me at my house, talked to Edward about who knows what, and kiss me, already knowing I'd kiss Edward?"
"That sounds about right."
"Unbelievable," I said over my shoulder, walking away. It was after school, and my family had already gone home. He was supposed to give me a ride, but I guess I'd just walk home.
"Bella," he warned, grabbing my wrist. "What would you have done?"
"Oh, I don't know," I said scathingly. "Ignored you? Why would I take away from time you had with someone else if I knew you would just kiss someone else?"
He laughed. "Time? Vampires don't have time. Vampires have eternity. It can't have anything to do with time."
"Well I still wouldn't have done it," I retorted.
"What was I supposed to do?" he asked angrily. "I like you, Bella. You think I was just going to tell you 'You're going to kiss someone that has feelings for you and end up falling for him.' No way. I was getting as much out of this as I could."
"Unbelievable," I repeated, wrenching my wrist free and walking away.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked, grabbing me around the waist.
"Home," I said, struggling.
"I'll drive you," he said, lifting me up off the ground easily and putting my in the passenger seat. Before I could move he was in the driver's seat. He shot his arm out and pinned me against the seat. "I just want to talk."
I rolled my eyes but stopped trying to get out. He backed out of the parking space and started towards my house.
"I'm sorry." I didn't say anything. "Bella, look at me." I glanced at him. He was staring at me with a penetrating gaze. But I'd blocked his power, so he couldn't see anything. I noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes, more prominent than they had been before. But his eyes were still bright gold.
We arrived at my house then, and I opened the door. "Bella," he said softly. I looked back.
"Just give me another chance," he pleaded. I shook my head. "Please. You need to give me another chance."
"I don't need to do anything," I whispered, closing the door and running up to my room. I flung myself on my bed.
"Hi, Edward," I said, raising a hand for an odd backwards wave towards the door. "Could you walk any louder?" I teased.
"I thought I was being quiet, actually," he said in a hurt voice. I laughed, rolling over on my back and propping myself up on my elbows.
"You read his mind," I said, noting the uncomfortable look in his eyes. He nodded slowly.
"I got a small glimpse of it," he said quietly, sitting down next to me on the bed. "But I couldn't figure out what he did, from what I'd seen."
I groaned. "He said he was going to 'get as much out of this as he could', Edward. He was using me, even though he knew…" I trailed off, knowing he knew what I meant. I didn't really want to talk about it. He nodded sympathetically.
We sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes before Alice burst into the room, her eyes fearful.
"Alice?" I asked nervously.
"Alice, did you see something?" Edward asked her, standing up. She stared at him, and he growled slightly.
"Come on, Bella, we're leaving," Alice said, not taking her eyes off of Edward.
"I'm coming too," Edward whispered in a deadly voice.
"No," she said forcefully. "You have to help Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle."
"Alice," he growled in warning. She ignored him.
"Come on, Bella," she said, grabbing my arm and leading me downstairs and into her car.
"Alice, where are we going? What did you see?"
"I'm not sure," she groaned. "We have to get you out of here."
"But why?"
She hesitated. "Travis.
A/N: That was probably a lot different than it was originally. I typed this up fast and pretty much from memory (…I have really bad memory, so it was kind of hard). Yeah. I was an idiot. Sorry :c
