I know! xD
Chapter 25
Once again I woke up to a lame Monday. Signaling the beginning of another school week.
And the end of the week, continuing on the weekend, ruined a lot.
I got up and chose an outfit for the day. I was so tired from yesterday. I came back home pretty late. I regretted it today, I'm like blank and tired at the moment.
I ate my breakfast alone as usual. Charlie off to work early, always is.
I just grabbed my backpack when I heard a honk. My drowsiness completely fading away. I knew it was Edward. I skipped over to his car. I was going to open the passenger door when I noticed Tanya was sitting there. Another mood swing, I went to being cautious. Crap I totally forgot about her. I opened the other door to sit in the back.
"Hey Edward." I smiled at him.
"Good Morning Bella.'
"Hi…Tanya." I said.
"Hi."
It was really awkward as we went on our ride to school. Not even the music cut up the tension, maybe a little but it was still extremely awkward. Once we got out of school Tanya still wouldn't back off of Edward. Edward let got of her anyway and put his arm around my waist.
"I missed you yesterday." He whispered in my ear, making me shiver.
"I did too." I went on my tip toes to kiss him.
"Edward! See you later!" Tanya suddenly said. Gahh that …urgh!
"Bye Tanya" He said like he didn't mind her interrupting. What the hell?
"Edward don't you notice something about Tanya…?"
The bell rang
"Notice what?"
"Um nothing. See you later Edward." I walked off. How could he not notice? Is he blind? Maybe it's just me…but I don't think so.
During the day, a lot of guys were hanging around with Tanya. She used to be popular and they were surprised to see her again. That made me remember why she didn't go to the office in the morning but maybe she got it before. I was happy the topic of school went off me and Edward, yeah it hasn't gotten old until today. Everyone was talking about Tanya and she enjoyed the attention.
Thankfully, she backed up for the rest if the day. She was hanging out with Lauren all day, and how I still call it, the popular club. . As I, with the usual, Edward, Alice, Ben and Angela.
After class I overheard Tyler talking to Erick.
"Tanya moved back."
"Bella did too, a couple months ago."
"I wonder who else is moving back."
"Another hottie maybe." They laughed. How very amusing.
"Wasn't she with Edward before?"
"Maybe she came back to steal Edward." They laughed. I stomped away. But then I stopped to think about what they said. Maybe Tanya did come back to steal Edward… Gosh, I think I'm just going crazy. How would she find out in the first place?
"Hey Bella!" Alice called to me.
"Alice!" I fast walked to her.
"What's up?" I said once she was in hearing range so I wouldn'thave to shout.
"Is everything going okay with Tanya?" Uneasy feeling.
"Yeah…why do you have a feeling?"
"Yeah it's strange though. It changes so much. I feel like something major is going to happen but I don't know what. I didn't care at that moment because she didn't know exactly what but I should have cared.
~*~
The rest of the week was disturbing to say. I've seen Lauren and Tanya looking at me a lot and they would tell each other stuff to each other's ears. I rolled my eyes when I saw this. They make it so obvious that they talked about me and it got on my nerves, though it did make me suspicious.
I thought Tanya would try to hang around with Edward but surprisingly she stuck to her group.
But the following week she did not. The next Monday, it all started.
The ride in Edward's Volvo was always awkward since the last Monday but this time it was awkward and…uneasy. My uneasiness mixed into this. A gut feeling that was trying to tell me something. What was it was my question.
We got out of the car. Last week, Tanya would leave with her group but this time she did not. She stayed next to Edward and grabbed his arm. I noticed Edward would try to let go but she would just grab on tighter. Edward was too nice to tell her to let go. I didn't let this bother me, at least not too much. She would go along with her popular club as always. Not today. Or the next. Edward would eventually find a way to get out of her grip and come to me. It made me feel happy a little, still it didn't take away the feeling. I was jealous yes but it's obvious she's trying to do something.
Now it was seriously bothering me.
"Bella I've noticed Tanya's been clingy this week so far." Alice said, pulling me out my thoughts. Yes, so have I.
"I know. It bothering me. "
"Do something about it."
"Like what?"
"Punch her. Something."
"Punch her won't fix anything."
"It would tell her to back off."
"I know but, being violent doesn't solve anything."
"You were all about it before."
"I know but no more. I badly want to though." I said, nodding my head.
"Yeah your right. It's just going to cause trouble with your dad. And maybe Esme. Esme's too nice to everyone, she doesn't notice how Tanya is."
I sighed. "I seriously don't know what to do."
"Me either. I'd help but spring break is coming." Oh yeah! It took my mind off the topic of Tanya for a couple of seconds. Seconds.
"What are you going to do?"
"Remember how I said I found some of my relatives? I'm going to visit them again."
"Oh." I said sadly.
"Yeah but I have feelings for you-" My face went blank.
"Hold up hold up, what? "
"Not that way. I'm straight !" She laughed. I joined in her laughter.
"Oh…do you mean like your kinda…erm…visions that you can't see."
"That makes no sense. Visions you can't see. Aren't you supposed to see visions?"
"Whatever. You know what I mean." I smiled
She laughed. "Yeah . Now seriously," she face went serious and I did too," I have a feeling that you should watch out while I'm gone okay?"
"Okay." I gave her a hug and she hugged me back.
I walked to Edward's Volvo. Tanya wasn't there. Yes! I ran to him smiling hugely as was he.
"Get in Bella."
He drove to his house. We went to his backyard and to the shack where we confessed our feelings to each other.
We embraced each other in there, enjoying our time together.
"Edward, it's bothering me that Tanya doesn't get off you."
"She's not on me…"
"Edward. Seriously."
"Yes yes I know, Bella." He sighed
"You know? Know what? Do you know what I'm talking about?" I asked.
"Yes. Tanya has been…erm..sticky around me." Pshh, now you notice.
"I don't like that Edward."
"Bella don't worry. I've told her I'm not interested in her. I'm sure she'll stop soon."
"That's easy for you to say. You have no idea how I feel." All he did was hug me tighter.
It was eleven in the night when I noticed we still had school tomorrow.
"Oh crap, Edward I got to go home."
"Yeah huh. I forgot too." I gave him a chaste kiss. When I let go his crushed his lips to mine, making it last longer.
I let go. "Bye Edward. I-" I stopped myself. I was going to use the L word but I don't think it's time for that yet.
"You…?"
"I will see you tomorrow." I left hurriedly. I can't believe I was going to say it. Next time I need to make sure it won't slip out.
Does Edward love me back/ Will he ever tell me? What if I did tell him, would he have told me it back?
It's a pretty hard confession. Asking to go out is so much simpler than saying I love you.
~*~
Spring beak came soon. Alice left along with Jasper. They've confessed they loved each other to one another already. I would have gone too but Alice didn't really invite me and well Tanya is here with Edward. If I left with Edward, I'm sure Tanya would go to and that wouldn't been peace I looked for if I went. Alice was going completely by herself anyway. Just along with Jasper is all.
Jacob called me earlier in the week to ask if I can hang out with him during spring break. Edward was going to be working with Carlisle, we was planning to become a doctor like him.
Edward spent the night at my house without Charlie knowing again the night before break.
"I'm going to miss every moment we're not together. I always do." He said.
"Aww, me too Edward. At least I'm going to come at the evenings. I'll see you."
He looked at me sadly. "But I'm leaving early and coming late."
"I won't see you all week?" I asked in a sad tone like his.
He nodded solemnly. I frowned.
"Let's enjoy the night holding each other, alright?" I nodded and soon fell to sleep.
Early in the morning I felt Edward's lips press to my forehead. I felt him leaving too and I reached for him.
"Where you going" I said groggily.
"I have to go. Carlisle will be up soon. Call me, text me. Just contact me during this week okay, love?" That woke me up. Love? What?
"Okay." He kissed me and left. I was going to miss him terribly.
~*~
"Hey Jacob!" I called once he was in view.
'"Bella!" He yelled back, approaching my car.
"What's with the suitcase?" He questioned when he saw it.
"Oh…I'm staying for the week. If…it's alright with you." I said shyly, I totally forgot to ask.
"Really?" His face brightened.
"Yeah." I smiled. He was excited.
Edward came a few timed during the week. The first time he came I was so happy and surprised.
…Though there was tension between Edward and Jacob.
It was weird. Edward would text me constantly saying, What are you doing? What's Jacob doing? Are you and Jacob alone? If I told him I was we would reply instantly, What are you guys doin?
I asked a few questioned about Tanya, if we were txting at night. I didn't really have to worry. She would be sleeping over at Lauren's and he told me he doesn't bother him when her comes home late…unless he's lying.
It was fun during spring break with Jacob. We would go to Embry's or Quil's house. I met a guy named Sam and the rest of the group he hangs out with. I would hang out with their girlfriend's and stuff. We went cliff diving too! That was so awesome, I was scared at first but once I tried it I wanted to do it again and again.
On Sunday, the day before going back to school, Jacob confessed something that absolutely shocked me.
"Bella, when I see you with Edward it angers me." He said randomly when we were laying on his mustang's front side chilling out. I chocked on the soda I was drinking.
"What? Why?"
"Because…because…I have feeling for you and I makes me so jealous! He hurt you in high school and yet your with him. It confuses me!"
I stood there opened mouth and wide eyed. It took me a while to repond.
"When did you develop feelings for me?" I asked softly.
"Middle school. You never noticed. It hurts."
"Jacob, I'm sorry but I don't have feelings for you."
"Are you sure?"
"Huh? What do you m-" He crushed his lips to mine. I stood there rigidly in shock. The fuck? My brain was sending signals to slow to my hands. I pushed him off me.
"What the hell Jacob?" I yelled.
"Did you feel anything? I sure did." He whispered. I grew angry and slapped him, running off. What was that?! He had no right to just suddenly kiss me! Ugh!
It was a good thing my suitcase was ready. I grabbed it from the living room and went in my car.
"Bella don't leave! I'm sorry!" He yelled after me. I guess he got angry and as I went off in my car he shouted, "You never know if Edward is just with you because of you new looks! He's beem with Tanya during the night, they could've done something!"
That jerk!……..but what if he's right? Why didn't I think of this? Gah, coming here for spring break was a mistake!
I called Edward and texted him but he wouldn't answer. How strange. When I got to his house to visit his car wasn't there and Alice hadn't arrived so I went home. I took a long warm shower to calm me down. I thought more about what Jacob said and some drops of water that wasn't from the shower fell down my face. Why am I taking it seriously? Ugh. I turned off the water, changed into my pajamas.
I got in bed but it took me awhile to sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened. Jacob…Edward not answering or there. What if he was with Tanya? It made me stomach churn. I had a really bad feeling. What the hell is going on??
A/N: Yeah what's going on? O.o xD
I wasn't going to stop here but I didn't want to put too much. I wasn't sure but then I thought, I won't have time this weekend, I have a family party and a carnival to go to. Plus I didn't want you guys to wait too much for this chapter.
I had time this week, but not next week. By Tuesday I have to remember a long prayer for church school, and Friday a book report poster thing and I have to submit a typed essay for a contest my leadership teacher made me do.
Chapter 24 is planned out and will be typed away when I have the time! :D
Thanks for the alerting and the reviews!
More reviews for this chapter, yeah?
:]
