Ch 35 Compromise?
I walked back over to the corner and Bella sat on one of the couches. A whole hour had passed by and neither of us had said anything. It was getting really irritating not hearing her voice. It used to be like my favorite tune, nothing man composed could compare, but now it feels like I never heard it.
I was shaken awake from my train of thought from Bella's sniffling. I couldn't stand it anymore. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her shoulders. She froze for a second before her hands went on top of mine and she pressed her head to my right cheek.
"Edward, I'm so sorry." She sniffled.
"Bella, its okay, just tell me why you did it?" I asked. I already forgave her.
She pulled away, wiping her eyes a bit. "Did what Edward?"
I took a seat next to her. "For having sex and making out with Mike?"
Her eyes bugged out of her head. "WHAT!" She shrieked. "I didn't make out with Mike and I definitely didn't have sex with him. I don't go so low."
What? It wasn't true? "So nothing happened?" I asked clarifying. She shook her head violently.
"No, where did you get that from?"
"Well, you didn't show up to class, and then I heard Lauren and Jessica talking about it—"
"And you believed them?!" She shrieked jumping off the coach, glaring at me with her hands on her hips tapping her foot.
"Why doesn't anybody let me finish?" I murmured. "No I didn't, but when I walked out of the classroom, you came out of no where with really messed up hair and Mike leaving." I explained, and her foot stopped tapping. "I know I'm a total retard for jumping to conclusions, and you probably won't forgive me." I said looking away.
The couch suddenly shifted in weight and a really hot hand touched my cheek. "Edward," I looked up to see her with a small smile, and sincere eyes. "What happened was someone shoved me in a closet, by pulling my hood over my head. I banged into a lot of things, and then Mike helped me out, that's why my hair was like that, and then he asked to hang out but I refused and asked him to leave, which he did."
I'm a total buffoon. My mouth dropped as I saw her giggle. I went down on my knees and grabbed her hands.
"Bella I am so sorry for ever doubting you. I should've just asked you, but I let my assumptions—" And jealousy. "Get the better of me. Can you forgive me?"
Her eyes were really wide, but she leaned down and kissed my cheek, leaving a hot mark there. "Of course Edward, just please three things,"
I nodded for her to go on. "One, don't believe everything you hear or what is said." I nodded and she counted another finger. "Two, next time come to me first ok?" Again I nodded. "And three, please don't ever leave again." Her eyes looked like they might spill tears any second now.
I picked her up and cradled her close to my chest hugging her close to me. She cradled her legs to her body.
"Bella, I promise—no I swear—I will never ever leave you again." She looked up at me and smiled.
"Thank you," I nodded, before I heard the door click open. There stood, Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett and Esme.
"So you two made up?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah," Bella giggled.
"You're going to be alright right dear?" Esme asked Bella.
"Yep, I promise. I'm sorry for how I acted earlier mom, I didn't mean to." She blushed a light pink tone.
"It's alright, sweetheart." Alice skipped toward us.
"You, go do your homework young lady." Alice scolded Bella, who in turn groaned. "No groaning Bella, that's your responsibility."
I placed her on the floor and I heard her grumble, "Bossy fairy."
Alice turned on her heel. "Excuse me? I am no fairy."
"How do you get mad over fairy and not pixie?"
Alice crossed her arms and huffed. "Fairies and pixies are different. Pixies are much cooler. Now go." Bella huffed and walked upstairs, everyone after her. "Edward you stay." Alice called.
"Look Alice, I promise I will never react like this again." I said. She walked up to me and looked me dead in the eye.
"You've got to stop running away from everything that relates to Bella. The first time she was a zombie and this time she would've ki—" She stopped mid- sentence realizing what she was about to say. "Shit!" She yelled in her mind.
"Would've what Alice?" I asked. She started humming and her thoughts gave away nothing, just thoughts of clothes and fashion shows. "Alice," I growled.
She kept on humming and was about to turn and leave before I ran in front of the door blocking her path. "Alice, tell me what was going to happen with Bella?"
She closed her eyes and sighed.
"Okay Edward. She was going to commit suicide,"
My knees went weak and I thought I might collapse any second now. Bella would've killed herself. Alice's look got worried so she walked over to me and shook me a bit.
"Alice show me the vision," I ordered barely audibly that I'm surprised she even heard me. She nodded and closed her eyes replaying the scenes.
Alice's vision:
Bella ran up the stairs. It looked like no one was home. She ran to Alice's room and grabbed a pair of scissors—that Alice and Rose used when they designed.—and ran back to her room. She looked out the window before placing the scissors to her wrist.
I knew what she was going to do.
"Edward, I regret not telling you something, but seeing as you left again I don't think you care. Well anyways, goodbye…" The scissor slid across her wrists leaving a trail of blood where it went. Wails and yells were heard through out the house. It was Bella in pain, and her blood was leaving her body fast.
End of Alice's vision
I gasped coming back to reality, but I was pulled into yet another vision.
Alice's vision:
It was a beautiful sight, waves crashing, seagulls flying, and the sun high in the sky in one of those rarely sunny days.
Feet were walking and a girl was walking towards the edge of the cliff. The girl was Bella. Her hair was waving in the air, but it was dirty, messy and full of knots. And her eyes—which were bruised-like—were expelling tears.
"They saved me the first time," she said taking off her jacket. "But they're not here now."
I noticed she was talking about our family.
"I can't live anymore, and hey," she said with a grim smile. "Your wish came true after all; I will never become a vampire, but I will also cease to exist." She then jumped off the cliff and into the water. She never came up, and blood then started spreading throughout the water, making it a red color.
End of Alice's vision
I shook my head trying to get those horrible images out of my head. A white hand touched my shoulder. When I looked up I met Alice's sympathetic eyes.
"I know how hard it must be for you to see that, but that's what would've happened. We couldn't have saved her from herself forever; she was going to kill herself anyways if you weren't here."
A dry sob escaped my body. "I can't believe I would've done that to her!" I grabbed my hair and pulled it. "I wouldn't have outlived her though."
That caught Alice's attention. "What do you mean Edward?"
"Maybe the Volturi could've done me a small favor…" I whispered, but soon my face was jerked to the side and my face stung a bit.
Alice was standing there with her fist in the air, and eyes narrowed. How many times had she hit me these past years?
"You fucking idiot!" She whispered yelled. I was actually scared that I heard Alice curse at me, she didn't look like the type of girl that let a swear escape her mouth. "Don't ever think that okay?"
"But Alice there would be no point of me living if she's not here."
"Bella wouldn't want you to kill yourself Edward so stop."
"But she needs to live even if I'm not with her." I explained.
"Hey, here's a solution," she said with fake enthusiasm clapping her hands. "Don't go!"
I let out an airy chuckle. "I never will again, I swear." She smiled.
"Okay now let's go." She said running up the stairs.
When we got upstairs everyone—besides Bella—was there. "How does Jasper put up with you?" I said chuckling.
"Hey, I'm not that bad. Right baby," Alice said, turning to Jasper with a sweet smile. I could see all the love between them, because he melted.
"Yes, honey." Emmett laughed.
"Whipped man," Rose came out of the kitchen with a sleeping Bella in her arms.
"You shouldn't be talking bro," Jasper said, "and I would keep quiet, the emotions Rosalie is expelling aren't the nicest to say."
"You are so lucky Bella is in my arms now." She growled lowly.
"That can be arranged," I said extending my arms to take Bella. She looked over at me with doubt.
"Edward I'm still pretty pissed at you." She thought and I nodded. But then she smiled. "But I know I won't be able to keep you two away with the love you guys hold. Just remember if for any other reason you leave Bella, I swear to God you are going to get a worst punishment then what Emmett is about to get. Got it?" I nodded once again taking a visible gulp. She was satisfied with my reaction because she laughed once. "Good, now here, take good care of her." I took Bella from Rosalie's arms and cradled her to my chest. Like an instinct, she automatically snuggled into me.
I saw Rose turn to Emmett with an evil smile. "Oh Emmett," She sang in a scary voice. I actually felt a little sorry for Emmett. He gulped and I swear I saw him turn green with fear.
"Rose, what are you going to do?" He said backing away slowly. Rosalie laughed crouching into a hunting position. She looked like the vampire and he was the prey—the human.
"Rose, don't break anything," Esme warned sternly. Rosalie just nodded not even looking at Esme. Carlisle got up from his seat chuckling; wrapping his arms around Esme's waist.
"Esme, I'm scared right now," Emmett said I'm sure if he were human he would be sweating.
Esme giggled, "Well you should be, baby" Rose emphasized the 'baby' part to really scare him. It worked. He started running like a mad man out the door. Rose looked at her watch.
"What are you doing?" Jasper asked.
"Giving him a head start," she answered with a shrug. "3, 2, 1." She then took off after Emmett leaving us laughing. I felt something stir so I stopped laughing to find Bella looking at me with her big brown eyes.
"What's so funny?" She asked rubbing her eyes. Alice got up and walked towards us.
"You just missed Rosalie going to kill Emmett." Bella groaned.
"Aw man, again?" We all laughed. "I'm actually tired."
"Let's go Bells." I said carrying her upstairs.
"Edward you know I have two legs right?" She asked sarcastically as I placed her gently on her bed, pulling the covers over her.
"Really? I didn't notice. I thought you had three," I teased and she smacked my shoulder, while I laughed.
"Ha ha very funny." I just chuckled, kissing her forehead.
"I know I'm just hysterical aren't I?" She just rolled her eyes, turning on her lamp and pointing to the little table by the window.
"Can you pass me my Vogue magazine, Edward?" I got up and handed it to her in a flash. She opened up the first page before she squealed. "Oh my God, I have to get this outfit!" She gushed turning the picture to show me.
It was a tight off the shoulders red shirt, tight blue jeans and black heeled boots. I sighed, "Bella you have millions of pieces of clothing." She slammed the magazine against her legs and glared at me. Before I could say anything, her door flew open and there stood Alice glaring at me as well.
"What's your point?"
"Are you trying to say something?" Alice tested tapping her foot.
"Well, why do you need a new outfit?" I asked.
"Edward, don't ask that again." Alice said shaking her head.
"Okay?" I nodded. "Alright here's another dumb question, why do you read that magazine?"
Bella gasped and Alice looked like she would faint any second now.
"Edward, this is the most fashionable magazine! It has everything!" Bella said exasperated.
I put up my hands in surrender. "Ok, ok, I'm sorry I wouldn't know I'm not a girl."
Alice walked over to me and pulled on my ear dragging me out. "We know; we would be ashamed to call you our sister." I glared at nothing, while Bella laughed at me.
"'Night Edward!" She yelled from her room.
Bella's POV
"…And so class that's how the chromosomes multiply to form a new daughter cell," I caught Mr. Banner say. The bell rang and I yawned waking up from my sleep. I heard Edward chuckle next to me as he picked up my books. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Mike glare at Edward, and Lauren and Jessica glare at me.
"Somebody was tired huh?" Edward teased.
"Mhm," I yawned again. "You have no idea. I stayed up on the phone with Angela, and before we knew it, it was 3 am!" He just laughed and walked me to Spanish.
"See you later Bella," he said, hugging me before running—at human speed—to his next class. I wonder how hard it must be to control the speed you run at when you're a vampire.
When I walked into Spanish I bumped into someone. "I'm sorry," I said looking up. It was a good looking guy. He had fair skin, blond hair that was pulled back in a small pony tail, a weird blue eye color, and a cute smile. He looked pretty shy.
"It's okay," he said. "My name's James Tracker."
"Hi James, my name is Isabella Hale, but I like Bella a lot better." I said; he nodded.
"Nice meeting you m'lady. Well I'll see you soon I guess, goodbye." He said exiting the classroom.
I saw Alice waving to me and I walked over and sat down next to her. "So who was that?" She asked with the palm of her hand under her chin, her arm on the table.
"Alice, you're very nosy you know that?" She faked pouted then giggled.
"I know, now spill." I told her who that was so she'd stop harassing me.
"Oh yeah, I think there's another transferred student here. Not sure what her name is though." I shrugged.
"Oh well."
The lesson then started. "Buenos dias clase. Hoy día vamos a aprender a escribir cartas en español." The teacher said. I groaned putting my head down, I already knew Spanish and French, because we moved around a lot so I had to pick up the languages.
The bell rang and I walked out with Alice to gym. "Alice I feel like somebody is watching me." It was a weird feeling I've been feeling all day. Like somebody's eyes have been watching me and roaming my body, it was very disturbing.
After school I walked to Edward's Volvo, looking back a couple of times. When I reached the car Edward walked towards me and hugged me. "What's wrong Bella?"
I pulled away and took one last glance. "I don't know, but I feel like I'm being watched." He looked up and took a sniff at the air, before looking back down at me with furrowed eyebrows.
"I don't hear any weird thoughts or smell anything different Bells,"
"Maybe I'm just tired." I shrugged it off and he nodded. "C'mon."
