Starting Anew

Disclaimer: Okay, you all know the drill I don't own anything you recognize, which is the characters and setting, but the plot is entirely my own.
Author's Note: Alright, alright...you all have my absolute permission to pull out the pitchforks and hunt me down for the month and a half (ish) wait that I put you all through. For some reason my summer has been busier than my actual school year and it's been kinda stressful but I should be back on a regular basis again now that I've gotten everything figured out...I'm actually working on updating a Harry Potter story of mine as well, as I've been getting quite a few requests to update a particular one. My cousin has recently starting reading this story and has been encouraging me to write more as quickly as possible. Anyways to make up for the long delay here's, what I think, is my longest chapter yet at 12 pages in MS Word :). Thank you for putting up with me and waiting this long for an update, hopefully I haven't lost any faithful readers in the process. I love you all and it means so much you all actually take the time to read my work. Enjoy the latest installment of Starting Anew.

Chapter 21: First Aid Kit Anyone?

I followed Alice to chemistry, listening to her talking about a shopping trip she wanted to take on the weekend.

We took our seats and said a quick hello to Angela and Ben who were sitting in front of us, then turned to the front of the room where Mrs. Costella had started her lesson. As the class went on, I realized that it was easy to connect what she was teaching us to what I had learned in grade eleven biology last year. The class went by quickly and before I knew it I was packing up and saying goodbye to the other three as I walked into the Spanish room and sitting beside Rose.

"Hello Bella," Rose grinned, completely ignoring James and Alec who had walked in behind me.

I laughed lightly, "Hello to you as well."

"Oh yeah, just ignore us. It's fine, pretend we're not even here," James grumbled.

"Sorry, hi Alec," Rose smirked.

"Class is never going to be boring with you two together," Alec shook his head, looking between Rose and James.

Mr. Gonzalez handed out a worksheet, "This is for me to judge where you all stand when it comes to the language. You will not be marked, and if you like you may work with those around you. Keep the noise level to a minimum and begin," he sat at his desk and picked up a copy of today's paper.

"Awesome," James and Alec spun around in their seats and smirked at us.

Rose rolled her eyes, "Who said we were working with the likes of you?"

"Aww…but Rosie, maybe Bella wants to work with me," James pouted, looking at me with a pathetic version of the puppy dog eyes.

I laughed, "You're not getting my help with this one."

He huffed, "Fine, I'll just do it on my own," and with that he spun back around in his seat and ignored us.

We laughed and started working on the sheet, eventually James turned around again and the four of us finished quickly. The bell rang and we stood up and handed in our papers as we filed out the door. James and I stepped into the English room and took our seats and waited for the other two to join us. They came strolling in, just before the bell rang; Jasper was scowling and Emmett looked almost remorseful.

"What happened?" I asked cautiously as Jasper sat beside me.

He rolled his eyes, "I don't even know. One minute I'm talking to Laurent, the next I'm sitting in the principle's office. I can't quite figure out what happened in between but I know Emmett did something."

I raised my eyebrow towards Emmett, who wasn't looking anyone in the eye, but didn't get a chance to ask him as Mrs. Mayers had started her review of how to properly write an essay to her standards.

I quickly pulled out my notebook and started to record the important points of what she was saying, even though it felt like I already knew everything she was telling us.

The class seemed to drag on and on and it looked like Emmett was about to explode from not talking by the time the bell finally rang. I didn't think I would ever see Emmett looking so excited to be heading to math class. We said goodbye to James and I gave Jasper a quick hug before picking up my notebook and following after Emmett who had already grabbed my bag and was heading through the halls to the math room.

"So Em, what happened during second period?" I asked, once I finally caught up.

He actually blushed, "I broke a desk."

I just stared at him before shaking my head, "You know what? I don't even want to know how that happened."

He grinned sheepishly, "Yeah, you probably don't."

We took our seats and he passed me my bag and I quickly switched my notebook and pen for a grid notebook and a pencil.

At the end of the class it had to be said that it was the most frustrating and confusing class on my schedule, and looking at Emmett I could see that he was feeling the same way. We packed our newly acquired math text books into our bags before Emmett hoisted them both over one arm and wrapped the other around my shoulder.

"You'll protect me from Rosie right? You know, when she finds out what happened in second period?" he whispered, glancing around him fearfully.

I laughed, "I can't see that happening, sorry."

"I figured," he sighed, slumping his shoulders as we walked into the cafeteria where Jasper and Edward were already seated.

Edward pulled me to sit on his lap once I was within arms reach and took my bag from Emmett, leaving it sitting at his feet, "How're you?"

I looked at him oddly, "I'm fine, is there a reason why I shouldn't be?"

Immediately he started shaking his head, "No, no, no, just wanted to make sure Emmett didn't get you in trouble as well," he shot his brother a look and held me as far away from Emmett as possible as he sat down beside us.

Emmett groaned, "Aw…come on man, it was an accident. Besides I wouldn't get Bella in trouble."

"But it's okay to get me in trouble instead?" Jasper shot back, glaring at Emmett from across the table.

"Well sure," Emmett shrugged.

Jasper groaned and started to repeatedly bang his head on the table.

Alice skipped in at that moment and looked confusedly at Jasper before turning to glare at Emmett. Rose was walking slowly behind her and pointedly ignored Emmett as she sat down between Edward and Jasper. Alice got Jasper to stop banging his head and sat in his lap, running her fingers over his bright red forehead.

"I said I was sorry," Emmett threw his hands in the air, "What more do you want from me?"

Rose sighed before standing up and moving to sit beside Emmett, "To control your anger. You Cullen guys let your anger control you sometimes and it shouldn't," I looked between everyone, confused, but shrugged it off when it didn't look like anyone was going to explain, "Now, I don't know about all of you but I'm hungry."

Emmett kissed her cheek before standing up and placing her in his chair, "Food it is."

Edward and Jasper also got up, leaving the three of us sitting at the table.

Rose shook her head, "He wasn't any trouble last period was he, Bella?"

"Nope, the class itself is going to cause problems, but Emmett was fine," I looked between the two, but again it didn't look like they were going to elaborate on what was going on.

"That's good," Rose shook her head as she kept an eye on Emmett as the boys waited in line and got the food and made their way back to the table.

I stood up and Edward smiled at me as he set the tray down on the table. He sat down in the chair and pulled me down into his lap, "So how was your morning?"

"Pretty good, uneventful anyway," I smiled and kissed his cheek, "And yours?"

He chuckled, "Alright," he leaned down to whisper in my ear, "Better than Jasper's anyway."

I laughed and took the apple he held out to me, "Thanks."

"It's no problem at all. Bella," he wrapped his arm tighter around my waist and reached over to open a can of coke and a cream soda, which he handed to me, "Did you want to come over after school? Your dad's not going to be home right away right? I don't want you staying by yourself."

"I'd be perfectly fine on my own," I huffed, grinning when he looked like he was about to protest, "But I'd like to come over, just not so you can keep your eye on me."

He kissed my temple, "I guess we can do it your way."

I smirked as I took a fry from the plate on the tray.

"Bella, you're coming over tonight?" Alice perked up and put her water bottle down on the table.

"Yes," I leaned back into Edward's chest.

"Yay! Then we can make up for not doing our nails yesterday," she bounced excitedly in Jasper's lap.

"No, Alice," Edward glared at his sister.

I looked at him curiously, but before either I could ask or Alice could protest the bell rang signalling the end of lunch. Edward helped me up and picked up the tray, saying goodbye to the others as he guided me out of the café. We walked quietly to biology where James and Laurent were already seated.

"What has you two here so early?" Edward asked as we sat down and he handed me my bag.

"We can't be late, coach will have our heads handed him on a silver platter by Emmett," James shuddered.

I laughed and pulled out my notebook. Mr. Banner walked in and immediately began his lesson after taking attendance. I was taking notes when I saw a folded piece of paper being pushed across the table towards me. Looking up I saw Edward smiling to himself as I quietly unfolded the note.

Will you go out with me after school?

I glanced at him curiously before writing my own reply and handed it back.

I thought I already was?

No, you're supposed to be coming over tonight. I want to know if you would like to go out, just the two of us?

I smiled as I wrote the final note.

I'd like that.

He grinned and slipped the piece of paper into his text book as the bell rang and students were rushing out of the room.

"You made me miss the lesson," I glared at Edward as he picked up our bags and wrapped an arm around my shoulder, "You know I can carry that myself?"

Edward narrowed his eyes at me, "You will do no such thing, you've got all of your text books in here and I'll carry it until we get lockers assigned to us otherwise you'll hurt your back."

I rolled my eyes, "But then you're carrying twice the weight, so does that mean you'll hurt your back even more?"

"Silly Bella, he's not carrying them on his back," Laurent laughed, walking on my other side.

We got to the class and Laurent waved at Alec and Jasper, where they were sitting at the same table as yesterday, before he went to sit with a group of other guys. Edward pulled me to sit beside Jasper and he sat on my other side, in between Alec and I.

Ms. Robinson started the class before we could say anything to one another. We quickly got to work sketching the diagrams of eyes that she was passing out. Her reasoning was that we had to learn to draw each individual part of the body before we can start on actual portraits. She said we would be working on a part each Monday, today we would be to get us into the routine, and she would be teaching other techniques on the other four school days.

Jasper and I both finished quickly and I saw both Edward and Alec struggling their way through it sluggishly.

I leaned over to him, "Edward, do you need help?"

"Maybe just a little?" He rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly at me.

We spent the rest of the lesson with me leaning over his shoulder and giving him hints and suggestions on how to finish his sketch. When the bell rang Edward stood up, looking relieved, and quickly pulled me over to where Ms. Robinson was standing at the door and handed in both of our work and stood just outside the door and waited for Jasper and Alec.

Jasper came out first, laughing at Alec as he came trudging out behind him.

"Ready to go?" Jasper asked, starting to walk towards the gym, "Bella, I was wondering if I could show you something after school and get your opinion on it?"

I nodded, "Sure thing." I could see Edward frowning beside me, "What's wrong?"

He just sighed and shook his head, "Nothing, Bells."

I hugged him around the waist, "Are you sure?"

Edward looked at me and gently guided me so I wasn't bumping into anything, "It's nothing, I'll tell you later."

"Alright, if you're sure?" I looked at him doubtfully, but by this time we had reached the doors of the gym where Rose and Emmett were both waiting.

"It's about time!" Rose exclaimed, pulling me behind her and into the locker rooms.

"Rose? What's the hurry?" I asked, letting myself be pulled along.

She glanced over at me as we started to change into the t-shirt and track pants Rose had decided we should wear for today's class, "Um…no reason Bella, just heard something that rattled my nerves I guess."

I raised my eyebrow, waiting for her to elaborate, but she didn't. Instead she seemed to look nervous about something and instead just shook her head and walked out of the room, leaving me to follow after her.

We met up with the guys on the bleachers and I noticed that they all looked anxious about something. I followed Rose over to them and she sat in between Emmett and Jasper, while I sat on his other side with Edward beside me. Edward pulled me to his side protectively, his jaw was clenched, and he was glaring at an empty corner of the gym.

I rested my head on his shoulder, "Is something wrong?"

He glanced at me and sighed, his face softening as he kissed my temple, "Same thing as earlier, we'll talk about it later."

"Okay, but did I do something to upset you? I'm sorry for being so clingy," I whispered, sitting up and moving slightly closer to Jasper.

"No, no, no, "Edward pulled me back towards him, "You didn't do anything and you're not clingy at all," he kissed me softly, "Now, I don't want you to worry about it. I'll tell you everything once we get to my place after school," he grinned, "My mom can't wait to see you again, she called to remind me at the beginning of lunch."

I smiled, "I liked her, she's easy to talk to."

He grinned, "I'm glad."

Jasper leaned over, "Don't look now, but Tanya alert."

Rose cursed under her breath before smirking, "God I hope we're playing dodge ball today."

Emmett laughed, "Somehow I doubt that."

Jasper shrugged, "I bet you could talk coach into it."

"Talk the coach into what?" Alec asked, sitting down on the bench behind us.

We all turned around and Rose laughed, "Talk him into letting us play dodge ball today."

Alec looked confused so Edward tried to explain, "It's a long story but basically it ends with Rose beating your sister with a ball."

"I wouldn't mind watching that," Alec laughed as James, Laurent and three other guys came and sat behind us as well.

"Hello ladies," James nodded at Rose and I, "So Rose, babe, are you going to join me and leave the big oaf?"

"Not even in your dreams," Rose glared at him and turned away from him.

Edward laughed, "Give it up James."

He sighed, "I suppose I have no choice," then he grinned and winked at me, "So Bella, how's about you and I go out Friday night?"

Edward glared at him, "Not a chance, man."

James turned to Laurent, who was trying to conceal his chuckles, "Why does nobody love me?"

All of the guys laughed at him and he only sighed again before he and Laurent moved to sit behind Emmett.

"So, you're Bella," one of the mystery guys leaned forward in his seat, "Heard so much about you, but yet Edward's never introduced us," he glared at Edward.

Edward rolled his eyes, "Alright, alright, Bells this is Aro, Marcus, and Caius; they're on the baseball team. Guys this is my girlfriend Bella."

I blushed, "Hi."

Aro nodded, "That's better Edward, and it's wonderful to finally meet you Bella."

Mr. Webber stood in the middle of the gym and blew his whistle, "Alright everyone, partner up. Our first focus for the year is basketball. We're going to be running through some drills so I want everyone to pick a spot with their partner in an empty part of the gym."

We all got up and Rose pulled me over with her near an empty corner where we were joined by Emmett and Jasper, and Edward and Alec. We stood across from our partners and started doing chest passes back and forth.

That's how the first half of the class went, we did different drills while the coach went from group to group and corrected what we were doing wrong, and surprisingly I had managed not to hurt anyone in the process. Mr. Webber blew his whistle again and we all brought the balls to the equipment room before fallowing him out the back door of the gym and onto the soccer field.

"Alright, today we didn't do our running at the beginning of the class like I had planned, so we're going to do it now. I want everyone to give me ten laps around the fields, and no that doesn't mean just around one set of goal posts, I want you to go around all four sets, now get to it," he sat back and smirked as Tanya and her friends started complaining right away.

I looked over and groaned, sure enough there were four football fields, in sets of two there were two side by side and they were just above the other two.

Rose laughed, "C'mon Bella, it's not as bad as it looks," I gave her a doubtful look and she laughed, "Okay, so it is, but the sooner we start the faster it'll be over."

We started jogging together and made small talk to make the time go by. And, of course, I just had to be myself, so when I turned to say something to Rose I tripped over a rock and sent myself tumbling to the ground. I felt something wet on my forehead and grimaced when the pain from trying to move my head and the smell of something rusty, knowing I must have hit my head on another rock.

I felt someone kneel beside me and help me sit up, pressing a cloth of some sort against my forehead. I opened my eyes and saw Edward in front of me with Mr. Webber crouched down beside us, behind him I could see Emmett ushering everyone else back into the gym.

"Miss Swan, are you alright?" Mr. Webber asked, pushing Edward's hand out of the way and tilting my head slightly to get a better look.

"I think so," I closed my eyes, the smell of the blood making me feel nauseous, "But I feel like I'm going to be sick."

He let go of me and Edward pushed the cloth against it again, "What class do you have next?"

"Music," Edward answered, and moved to sit next to me and wrapped his other arm around my shoulders.

"Alright, I'll talk to Mrs. Manning for you, Edward I want you to take her to the nurse," He stood up and Edward helped me do the same, "Now Bella, I want to know now, are you going to make a habit out of this?"

I laughed slightly, "Sorry, but yeah, probably."

He shook his head, "Alright, I'll know to carry a first aid kit around you next time. After seeing the nurse I don't think going to music is going to help the headache you're bound to get so maybe go sit outside or something since I know you all came in just one car like you always do. Edward, there's a baseball meeting today after school; it should only take five minutes so stick around until then."

We nodded and Edward led me around to the front of the building and in the front doors, "It's quicker than going through the entire building," he explained when I gave him a confused look, "How're you feeling, still feel like you're going to be sick?"

I nodded and he stopped and knocked on a door.

"Edward, what brings you here and who's this?" An elderly woman glanced between the two of us.

Edward pulled me closer to him, "This is Bella Swan, she hit her head on a rock during gym class."

"Well it's a shame we're meeting this way, I'm Heather, the school nurse. If you ever need anything don't be afraid to ask," she smiled at me before stepping aside and gestured towards the bed, "Just have a seat up there Hun and we'll get you fixed up."

Edward gently lifted me up so I could sit on the bed and stood in front of me, letting me lean forward and rest my head on his shoulder. He ran his fingers through my hair, while his other hand rubbed circles on my back, "Do you still feel like you're going to be sick?"

I nodded, "It's the smell."

Heather came back and pushed Edward aside, handing him a bucket, "It's in case she's going to be sick," she turned to me, "Okay now Hun, let's take a look at your face, then you can lay down for a while."

I nodded and she tilted my head from side to side, but I kept my eyes on Edward to distract myself from what she was doing. He was telling me stories from when he and Emmett were younger and would go camping with their dad.

Finally Heather stepped back, "Alright darling, it's been cleaned and patched up, it doesn't look deep enough to require stitches, but if it still bothers you go to the hospital and let them have a look at it. Now, I'm going to ask you to just lay here for a bit, so I can make sure you're okay before I let you leave," she turned back once she got to the door, "That and I need to call your father, school policy I'm afraid. Edward, stay with her while I go into the other room?" she smiled at us, and then she was gone.

Edward swung my legs up onto the bed and pushed my shoulders so I was lying down, "How're you feeling?" he hopped up to sit beside my hips.

"I feel fine now that I can't smell the blood. I'm a klutz; I'm used to things like this happening," I tried to smile reassuringly.

He just shook his head, "Still Bella, I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life. I am so sorry that I wasn't there to prevent it."

I took his hand in mine, "It was nothing that you could prevent, and if you plan on sticking around then you should get used to it. These kinds of things happen quite frequently, I was actually on first name basis with the nurses in the ER back in Phoenix."

Edward leaned up and kissed my forehead, "I'll try to make sure it's not as often here."

We were startled by the door swinging open, and glanced up to see Heather walking back into the room, "Alright Bella, I've notified your father and he said he'll be home as soon as possible, but for you to go to the Cullens' until then. Now, if you like you can stay here or you're both free to go, I've already talked to the main office, I only ask that you take it easy for tonight."

I nodded, "I will, thank you."

Edward pushed himself up, "I guess that means you want to go outside?"

"Yeah," I laughed and sat up, resting my forehead on Edward's shoulder when the room began to spin.

"Slowly Bella," he kissed my forehead again and stood up before slowly and carefully helping me do the same.

I thanked Heather and let Edward guide me out to the picnic tables where we sat in the morning. We eased down on the grass in the shade of a tree and I let my head fall against his shoulder.

Edward kept one arm around my waist as the other played with one of my hands, "You know, since you have to take it easy for tonight, maybe we should put off going out until you're better?"

I swung my head around to stare at him, regretting it as the world began to tilt but I held my own as I waited for everything to straighten out, "No, I want to go with you tonight," I could see he was looking doubtful so I gave him my best puppy dog eyes, "Please?"

He looked about to cave, "Only if you let Carlisle look at it and give the okay for you to go out."

I nodded and settled back against his shoulder, "Alright, that's fair."

The two of us sat in a comfortable silence until the bell rang, signalling the end of the day. Edward got up and helped me do the same when we saw Emmett, Rose and Alice come out of the school and head towards us, Alice was trying to run ahead but Rose held her back by the handle on her backpack.

Emmett got to us first and handed both of us our bags, "All of your things should be in there; Rose said she put your clothes in as well Bells."

Edward and I both nodded and thanked each of them just as Rose lost her grip on Alice and she catapulted herself towards me. Edward was behind me so he caught me as I started to tilt backwards.

"Alice, get off of her," he unwrapped his sister from me and looked around, "Where's Jasper?"

"He's already at that baseball meeting Coach announced at the end of gym after you guys left, he said he had already told you about it and Jazz said he'd meet you there," Emmett explained, watching as Rose inspected the cut on my forehead.

"Alright, I'll go there now then," he dropped his bag on the ground and looked at me, "Are you alright here or do you want to come with me?"

I bit my lip, "Actually I'm kinda cold."

He looked upset with himself, "I didn't even think…I mean I completely forgot you were just in a t-shirt. Come on with me and we'll get changed after the meeting," he nodded towards the others and led me towards the school and we walked back to the gym, "Why didn't you say you were cold?"

I blushed, "Well I didn't really think about it, I guess you were keeping me warm? I didn't even notice how chilly it was until we stood up."

He kissed my cheek, "Well I'm still sorry."

I just shook my head and smiled at him as he pushed open the gym doors and walked to the bleachers where Jasper, Alec, Aro, Marcus and Caius were already sitting. Edward helped me up so I was sitting next to Jasper and he came and sat on my other side.

"How're you feeling Bella?" Jasper asked, tilting my head up to look at him.

"I'm fine, just kind of dizzy when I move too fast," I grinned and hugged him.

Jasper laughed and pulled me onto his lap, Edward just rolled his eyes before leaning around us to talk to Alec.

Shortly after Mr. Webber stepped in front of the bleachers, "Ah, Bella, how's your head."

I blushed and ducked down against Jasper's shoulder, "Its fine sir."

"That's good," he smiled at me before his face was schooled into a fierce look towards the guys, I actually jumped and shrunk back against Jasper's chest and I could feel him chuckle as Edward reluctantly moved away from us to sit on the bench in front of the two of us, "Alright guys, heads up, as I'm sure you've noticed that there are only five of you and Jasper this year, the rest of the senior team graduated last year which means we have lots of work to do to rebuild the team before the season starts. For right now I want you to think of two things, recruiting grades eleven and twelve students for the team, and who to elect to be the new team captain for this season. We'll get back together on Friday and I want to know what you've all come up with," he looked them each in the eye and I actually got the chills and bit my lip as Jasper laughed slightly, "You should all know that this season I will not be going easy on any of you and training starts next Monday. That's all for today so you're all free to go and remember what I need you to think about what I need from you all on Friday. See you all in class tomorrow."

Edward got up and stood beside the benches and reached up to lift me down as well. Jasper handed him our bags as well has his before he jumped down beside us. Edward led the way to the nearest bathrooms, as both of the locker rooms were locked. I took my bag and went into one of the stalls in the girls' bathroom, quickly changing out of the gym uniform and back into my regular clothes.

Once I was ready I went back into the hallway where Edward was already changed and waiting with Jasper. The two of them were leaning against some lockers but once he saw me, Edward immediately rushed over to grab my bag from me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"Alright then gentlemen, to the Jeep!" I laughed, linking an arm through one of Jasper's as the other was hooked around Edward's waist.

"Calm down Bella," Edward chuckled, "Take it easy and we'll get Carlisle to take a look at your head when we get home."

"Can I still ask for a bit of your time, Bella?" Jasper asked, "Won't take long, we'll be done before Carlisle gets home."

I nodded just as we were walking out of the front doors and headed towards the Jeep. Alice looked up as we got closer and bounded into Jasper's arms, knocking him to the ground and nearly pulling me down with them, thankfully Edward had a tight grip and stopped me from even getting near the ground.

Rose rolled her eyes and gestured me forward as Emmett helped her step into the middle seat of the Jeep. Emmett reached for me next and I stepped away from Edward and let Emmett lift me up so I could sit beside Rose as the two of them climbed into the front seats. Jasper carried Alice over to the Jeep and placed her in before climbing in behind her and shutting the door.

I jumped when I felt Rose pull me to rest against her side with my head on her shoulder. I looked up at her confused, but she just smiled and looked out her window. I raised my eyebrow at Emmett, who I saw watching us from the rear-view mirror and he simply smirked and shrugged at me before directing all of his attention back to his driving.

I lost track of time, but it couldn't have been more than five minutes before Emmett was pulling into their vast driveway. Emmett and Edward both hopped down and opened the back doors, reaching up to help Rose and I out as well before we stepped aside to let Jasper get down and Alice clung onto his back.

Edward had both of our bags and we all filed into the house, and he pulled me upstairs to his room where he dropped them off on the foot of his bed, "C'mon, I think my mom's downstairs."

I nodded and followed him back downstairs and through to the kitchen, where Esme was stirring something in a large pot.

She looked up, "Ah, there you two are. I was starting to wonder where you disappeared to when the others already filed through here looking for something to eat…well Emmett was looking for something to eat anyway."

Edward laughed, "Yeah that sounds about right."

I rolled my eyes and went around him to hug Esme.
