Author's Note: Thanks for the love I hope I have everyone on the edge of their seats! Part three will be finished by tomorrow.
PART THREE
BETTER LEFT UNSAID
We ate dinner in silence that night, just me and Charlie. We were already light talkers but tonight it was downright unbearable. We chewed quietly, and made no eye contact whatsover, there was so much going on in my mind. The phone rang as I began my second helping of the take out Chinese fried rice on my plate and both me and Charlie looked up at eachother for the first time in what felt like forever.
"I'll get it." Charlie said tersely putting down his napkin and getting up to get the phone, I watched him like a hawk as he spoke
"...Yes....Are you sure?...Ok." Charlie spoke into the phone and then hung it up looking no different than he had before and walked back to the table and resumed eating his meal.
"Who was that?" I asked curiously trying not to sound to obvious
"No one." Charlie said bluntly, I took that as my cue to end any further questions.
"You'd better get to sleep early tonight, don't think tomorrow's gonna be a snow day." Charlie said seemingly coming from nowhere with that.
"Ok." I replied simply not feeling like finishing my food anymore. I cleared my part of the table and just went straight up to my bed not trying to think about anything. Today was the peak of surrealism and I felt somewhat dizzy by the time I laid down on my bed and let out a huge sigh. I still hadn't told Charlie about my window I wondered how long I could keep that a secret--I couldn't keep my window wide open for the remainder of winter. I felt pangs of fright as the notion that there was actually some nutcase out there who was intentionally trying to harm both Edward and I...but I knew it was mostly Edward and then it dawned on me.
"Jacob." I said and sat straight up on my bed. I didn't let my mind roam to him because of the fiasco from the month before and his life damn near almost being over, now he was actually willing to put himself back in the same scenario...it just didn't make sense to me. I shook my head a bit to shake off whatever queasiness I felt about the whole situation and then clicked on my instant messanging system and clicked on Jacob's screen name.
"Idle..." I said aloud while scanning through his information. It said he had been idle for nearly 27 hours which would be about 1 in the morning last night...interesting. I probbed a bit further and clicked on the link to his facebook page and read his last update...
'Revenge is a dish best served cold.'
I cupped my mouth in fear and immediately shut my laptop off and held my body close. What the fuck was he doing purposely trying to go to jail, why did he even feel I'm worth all the drama what in the hell is so special about me in the first damn place!
*Ring*
"Ah!" I yelled as the phone began to ring
"I got it!" Charlie screamed from downstairs and I began to catch my breath again and calm down.
"Bella, it's Jacob!" Charlie called up and then once again my heart nearly exploded
"...Ok..." I said uneasily and slowly moved over and grabbed the phone
"Hello?" I said in a deep cautious tone
"Hey it's me Jake what's up?" Jacob asked casually
"I'm shitty--you should know why." I spat
"What? I'm sorry to hear that." Jacob said in a quasi confused tone
"Look, stop the bullshit just tell me why you did it--my dad's already investigating into this." I said frantically
"First off, calm down what are you talking about?" Jacob asked confused
"You slashed his tires! And you could've nearly cracked my head open with that rock! I've heard of jealousy but you've just entered into crazy town." I said panicky
"Woah, woah, woah. I didn't have anything to do with that! What happened?" Jacob asked sounding completely dumbfounded
"I don't believe you! Who else! You're psycho!" I screamed and then slammed down the phone in a fit of rage
I felt like going right down to Charlie and demanding that he arrest Jacob on the spot for causing all this drama in my life. I never felt so shook up in my life I felt my entire body trembling and I moved over to the ever opened window to breathe in some fresh air and then I looked out and saw the shadowing of Edward's car down in the forrest and sighed. It pained me to see Edward's signature car out there without any Edward in there, it was as if it was waiting for me. Speaking to me in the silence...ok, I've lost it. Tonight has been entirely too stressful, the car being alive was just the sign I needed to breath slowly....
"What was that?" I asked softly squinting my eyes and looking out and seeing the lights inside the car go on for a second just to shut off the next.
"Who's in there?!" I screamed scared and ran to get my phone and looked at the caller ID and saw Jacob had called from his house phone...it wasn't Jacob. Oh my God! I began to dail Edward's cell number frantically and waiting almost on the verge of screaming out in horror.
"Pick up!" I hissed but it went straight to his message machine, dammit he was probably on the plane. I had no choice but to get Charlie involved. I ran out of my room and down the stairs feeling as if I was gonna piss my pants all the way down and damn near ran right into Charlie went I got to the bottom.
"Woah kido slow down." Charlie said
"Dad! Look outside!" I screamed completely winded with sweat beads drippign everywhich way down my body
"What? What's going on?" Charlie asked in 'cop' mode
"I saw the lights in Edward's car turn on and off!" I screamed and Charlie motioned for me to stay put at he gingerly lifted up the window curtain to look out into the forrest
"I don't see anything." He said
"Dad I saw it, I promise!" I replied feeling my knees buckle
"Ok...I'm gonna go out there--
"No!" I begged too afraid to even think about that
"Bella it's probably just some punk kids from Wesley still mad about the game." Charlie said in an all too elevated voice as he went over to the drawer in the kitchen and pulled out his flash light.
"I'll be back soon. Lock the door." Charlie said sternly
All I wanted to do was grab hold of his legs and beg my daddy to stay like I was a five year old little girl again but I couldn't even bring myself to say a word. Charlie walked out of the door and closed the door behind him and I never felt so powerless in my life I ran to lock it and slumpped down to the floor and began weeping bitterly. Why was all this happening to me.
*BANG!*
My heart came to a halt. I stood up and all the sound ran out of my ears as I opened the door wide open
"CHARLIE!!!"
