Chapter Twenty Nine
Edward's Point of View
"Bella? Are you alright?" I asked her as soon as we got in the car,
"Yes… I'm still kind of thirsty though," she admitted.
"It's normal to feel this way love, I would be worried if you weren't thirsty," I joked. She rolled her eyes, smiling now.
"You're better at this you know, you've only been one of us for a few days, and you already have it under control… It took me ten years," I admitted, ashamed.
"That's because I'm not around humans yet, I really doubt that I can control myself then," her voice was sour.
I tried not to laugh, but it was a poor attempt.
"What?" she demanded.
"Mountain lion," I hinted.
"Oh," she looked slightly embarrassed. "I guess it runs in the blood," she said sarcastically.
"Perhaps…"
"Oh!" she exclaimed all of a sudden.
"What Bella?"
"You… you didn't get to hunt," she threw me an apologetic look. I sighed in relief.
"Don't worry about it, I'll come again tomorrow," Honestly, I nearly forgot about that myself. All this time I was just concerned about Bella, and she seemed so anxious to get home.
"Sorry, I just messed everything up again didn't I?" she said guiltily.
"Bella, love, please don't say that… You didn't mess anything up, to tell you the truth; I forgot about that myself, now stop worrying about it, okay?" I picked up her left hand and kissed it. She nodded her head and seemed thoughtful for a moment.
"Mountain lion," she said cheerfully, smiling widely. I grinned and smiled.
"Hey Bella! How did you enjoy it?" Emmett greeted us as soon as they got back to the house, which was a few hours later.
"It was great, I killed a mountain lion," she grimaced.
"Awesome! Try some grizzlies next time, they're the best," he beamed.
"Sure Emmett… Why not?" she chuckled. I was so glad to see that she was in a ligher mood now.
"So Edward, tonight?" his face was abruptly serious now, looking straight at me. Jasper's attention was on me too, both waiting for my response.
"What's tonight?" Bella asked innocently.
"You didn't think that I was going to let him off the hook did you?" My tone was suddenly fierce. Jasper and Emmett glanced at each other with satisfaction and smirked.
"Great…"Bella gulped.
Bella's Point of View
"Edward, are you sure you want to do this?" I asked for the millionth time before he left.
"Bella, yes, I'm positive," he said while placing his index finger on my lips. I sighed. There was no way to stop him, and I might as well let Emmett and Jasper have their fun.
Even though we both agreed that I slipped down myself that day, but Edward was still convinced that Chris was fully responsible. He said that if he didn't follow me after school, none of this would have happened.
Part of me was glad that I was hit. Knowing Edward, he would never change me unless there was no other choice… And who knows when THAT would be? Twenty's old enough… A few years later, I'd be older than Carlisle and Esme, the father and mother figure of the family. Who will I be then? The grandmother?
Another part of me was… disappointed. I wanted Edward to change me because he wanted to, not because he was forced to, not because it was the only way. I know I sound very silly, I have his venom flowing in my body, most importantly, I have him for eternity… Why would any of that matter?
"Enjoy yourselves," I said halfheartedly.
"Oh we will Bella, don't worry; we'll beat the crap out of him," Emmett's eyes glimmered with excitement as he finished.
"Oh I'm not worried," I cringed.
"Can't wait to meet him," Jasper smirked. They were just TOO excited about this, it's not healthy.
"I'll be back later," he leaned down to kiss me on the lips. I kissed him back passionately, but was interrupted by Emmett.
"Come on Romeo, time to go," he rolled his eyes and grabbed Edward by the collar, pulling him to the door.
"Gee Emmett, you don't see ME complaining when you make out with Rosalie… Hey! Watch the shirt!" Edward complained. I hid my smile.
"Hey! I'm driving Emmett!" Jasper said before getting in the car.
"Phft! Like that would happen," Emmett taunted.
"You're the bossiest person that I know," Jasper murmured.
"Says the man who married Alice," Emmett replied, laughing.
Rosalie, Alice, and I cracked up after hearing that.
"Ah, someone's gonna have a hell of a night," Alice laughed, it sounded like bell chimes.
"It's bad with Edward alone," Rosalie chuckled.
"But with all three of them…" Alice continued for her.
"Poor guy," we grinned and started laughing again.
Chris' Point of View
Okay. I just met this girl, and she was SOO hot. I asked for her number, and then… She stomped my foot and turned away with a huff! What the hell was THAT? Ever since that Bella girl turned me down, things are just turning upside down. I ask out four girls, and all four of them would turn me down.
Bella. I didn't mean her any harm, if she would have just taken my offer, none of that crap would have happened. But she had to be stubborn… In fact, if she and I got together at the party… Hell, we would be a happy couple right now as I speak, will at least before I get tired of her and dump her anyway… But NOOO! She had to pick that bastard, what was his name? Edmund? Edwin? Wait… Edward! That's it! Edward Cullen…
And how can she not want me? As sexy, as fine as I am… she should be grateful that I'm even interested in her. I'm definitely better looking than that scum, and richer too. My father, the president of the Everest Industry, probably makes about a hundred times more than what HIS father makes. (Although I don't know who his father is, but I just have a feeling…) And my beautiful body, my hair… just sparkles in the sunlight; making me look like the hottest male model on the planet. Ah, why do I have to be so perfect? Hell, I'm like a live Prince Charming… Charming should be my middle name.
Ever since the accident, all of my classmates at Yale started giving me the "silent treatment". They said that if I never followed her after class, nothing would have happened.
"She fell of the damn sidewalk! What did you expect me to do? Lift the car off of her?"
Kassie James, who was passing by the scene of the accident coincidently, said that at least I could have stayed and helped her, instead of fleeing like a coward. She told every one in class about it, and now they all hate me. The girls especially, think that I'm just a greedy pervert... And they told their roommates, their friends… Now, when I walk on the campus, people just murmur and point their fingers at me. When I smile at the hot girls, they make a gagging sound. Where is the justice in this world? Damn that Bella…
I got off Highway 101 and headed back to my apartment. This sucks. All I have been getting so far are rejections. Oh well, tomorrow's a brand new day… a new day to hit off hot girls.
I opened the apartment door with my keys, and flipped the switch as soon as I stepped in. But… oddly, they didn't work. I tried again… nothing happened.
Ha… Just a coincidence, try again Chris…
All of a sudden, the door slammed behind me loudly, and I was stranded in the middle of the dark room. I gasped. I didn't believe in ghosts… At least that's what I was telling myself. I tried to reach for the switch again, but I couldn't find it. A faint light came from the corner of the bed, from my lamp. Then, I saw three dark figures standing in front of my window, arms crossed, staring viciously at me.
"Hello Chris."

I spent a lot of time on it, so I really hope that it's good and that you enjoy it. So the whole "I'm perfect" thing with Chris, does it remind you of a certain someone that starts with a "P"? lol... I miss Paige. I know that you all do too. So guess what? I'll make you a little promise. You WILL see her again in my story!!!! Anyway, please review!
