Chapter 36: Emo-less Wrist Slitting
Madison stared angrily out the passenger window.
"Madison," Bella started. "If your headaches are really that bad, I can take you to the doctor to get a prescription. I'm sure Carlisle would know something to give you."
They pulled up to the school and she saw everyone standing around one of the picnic tables not 20 feet away. All eyes on her, all arms crossed.
"Take me home," she pleaded.
"Take this as part of your punishment."
"Part?" Madison eyed her mother.
"Yes, you'll get the rest when you get home today, so look foreword to it. Now get out of the car."
Suddenly her door opened and she turned to see Trent standing there. He took her books out of her hands and handed them to Alexandria. He bent down, smiling at Bella, and lifted Madison over his shoulder.
"Put me down!" She growled.
"Nope." Madison watched as Bella pulled away, laughing. "Evil bitch…"
She was suddenly put down on the picnic bench and Joseph tied her down with ropes they had ready.
She pulled against the ropes, but they didn't budge.
"Madison, you have to listen to us!" Alexandria said, getting in her face. She growled and snapped at her.
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!" She yelled at them. "DO YOU WANT ME TO BE TORTURED?!" She stopped struggling and looked at her lap, embarrassed that she was crying in public again. She could feel everyone's eyes on her. They must think she's insane.
"Maddie, we care about you.." Joseph's voice shook with worry. He knelt down in front of her. She pulled one arm foreword with all the strength she could gather. The rope snapped and her arm jerked foreword, punching Joseph in the face by accident. She pulled the other arm but it wasn't so easy. The rope tightened around her wrist and then broke.
She screamed in pain and her hand started to turn red. She looked up at the sky and was blinded by the sun. She needed to get to some place shaded. She tried to untie the knot as she ran towards the woods behind the school.
As soon as she was far enough into the woods, she hid behind a tree and collapsed to her knees, trying to remove the rope, which was seriously cutting off her circulation. She could hear her 'friends' call her name.
She started to panic as soon as her fingers started to turn blue.
Cool fingers pried her hand from the rope. "Let me," Edward pulled out a pocketknife he had brought with him and held the knife out in front of him. "Close your eyes and don't scream," he whispered to her. She nodded and looked away with her eyes squeezed shut.
She bit her tongue as he cut the rope off. It was on too tight to get it off without being cut. Edward pressed his cool hand over the cut and pulled out medical tape.
"Thank you," her voice shook even when she whispered.
"I'll have to thank Alice," he chuckled. "She seems to save your life multiple times."
"No, I just can't go to school for a single day without screwing something up."
He picked her up off the ground and set her on her feet. "Well, Christopher has been doing relatively well lately, and he's out hunting now, so you'll be able to see him when you get home from school. However, you have to promise to be good today, and you'll only get to see him for five minutes at most."
Madison hugged him again, but longer. "Thank you so much."
He chuckled. "I just know how you feel right now." He hugged her back. "Now get to class. You don't want to get expelled for skipping I.S.S."
She nodded and pecked his cheek, running off to class. Alexandria spotted her and ran up, just as the bell rang.
"Some friends!" She called over to them. They were now gathered around the same table they had strapped her to. "I'll talk at lunch!"
"How? You have I.S.S.!" Alexandria called back. "You'll see!"

"Hello, Madison," the receptionist waved her towards the principals office door. Madison had made sure to put on a slightly pained look, yet still sad.
"Dr. Rogers?" She pushed the door open and the principal looked up.
"What can I help you with, Miss Swan?" She asked, seeing the look on her face. Dr. Rogers' face twisted into an expression of pity and Madison felt relieved – she had fooled her.
