On My Way
**TRIGGER CHAPTER/EVIL EDWARD**
Chapter 2
Graduation was here before we knew it.
Rose and I had been accepted into University of Seattle and were going to be roommates, Maria had decided she wanted to go to the University of Texas and be closer to her ailing grandparents, we think it had to do with her mom meeting someone and Maria wanting to be close to family since her mom was never home, we couldn't begrudge her for that.
Rose was going to college for interior design and I of course was going for business and culinary.
"Bells I'm proud of you for accomplishing so much at a young age. I wish you would defer college for a year." My dad was still trying to talk me out of going away.
"Dad I'll be fine. Rose and I have the room right next to the RA and my curfew is 8pm on school nights, unless I have a class and the RA will have my schedule." I hugged my dad as I finished packing.
"You know I worry."
"I know, we'll be fine. First semester is all day classes and I'm going to try and get a weekend job."
"Bells, you don't need one." He reminded me.
"I know I don't need one. I want one. I need to stay busy."
After I finished packing, we loaded the small U-Haul and we drove to Rose's to pick her up.
"It sucks we can't have cars our freshman year on campus." Rose pouted.
"Yeah but at least everything is within walking distance." I shrugged. "And we're on an even playing field." I laughed.
"Oh yeah Ms. Brainiac." She laughed.
They all picked on me because I was Valedictorian, yet I couldn't drive, I was only 15, I'd just got my learner's permit.
"Why are there guys in this dorm?" My dad's face was red.
"This is a co-ed dorm, all but one dorm is co-ed here dad." We laughed.
"And why didn't YOU get that dorm?"
"Because it's for the lesbian's." Rose whispered.
"And you couldn't have pretended?" My dad shouted making us laugh.
"Get over it dad, the boys have their floors and we have ours, they can't come in after certain times." Rose soothed him.
"I hope not. These are my babies." He hugged us both.
Unloading our stuff a huge guy comes over and offers to help.
"Most definitely." Rose was popping her hip out and twirling her hair.
The big dude looked familiar, but probably because he was hot.
"I've got dibs on that one." Rose whispered and I laughed out loud.
"You've got your mace, right girls?" my dad asked.
"Yes." We said in unison.
We were finally done for the day, had dinner with my dad and waved to him as he drove off.
"OK. There's a get together in the common room in an hour, let's shower and go." Rose smiled.
"You go. I'm exhausted." I grabbed my shower stuff. "Hey, our roommate isn't here yet." I pointed out.
"Maybe she was delayed. They have all weekend." Rose shrugged.
"Good point."
Showering, I walked back to the bedroom and grabbed a soda, Rose was throwing on a pair of sweats and a tank top and putting her hair in a ponytail.
"I swear, only you can make that look sexy!" I giggled.
She shook her ass before she asked again if I wanted to go, to which I answered no.
I finished my drink and crawled under the covers, falling fast asleep.
"Shit!" I jumped out of my bed at the sound of a deep male's voice.
"Damn it James don't wake up the entire floor." I heard a soft, but demanding voice whisper yell.
I got up from by bed and straightened my pajama's and walked towards the voices.
"Um hi!" I peeked my head around the corner meeting the blue eyes of a tall blond guy and the violet eyes of a short spiky black haired girl.
"Oh hi! You must be one of my new roommates, I just met the other she was on her way out to breakfast with a guy, my brother." She shrugged. "She said not to worry."
"Of course, she is." I rolled my eyes. "If you need anything let me know, I'm going to work out, nothing else to do this early."
"We're meeting them for breakfast, come." She smiled.
"I don't want to impose."
"You're not, I invited you and we're roommates, family." She giggled. "I'm Alice and you met my boyfriend James."
"Hi I'm Bella Swan." I held out my hand but was instead squeezed to death.
"Oh, my goodness! Bella?" she held me away from her, and looked at me.
"It's me, Alice. Alice Cullen!" she exclaimed and we both hugged each other.
"Um, I'm all for girls loving on each other. But I'm starving so can we get the hell out of here?" James spoke up and we started laughing.
Alice and I caught up while James drove to the diner where Alice said that Emmett and Edward where waiting and my friend Rose were, she'd met Emmett and Edward previously at party and hit it off with Emmett immediately.
"Where's Jasper?" "How are your parents?" "Is your dad still practicing medicine?" "Where have you guys been?" I was firing off all these questions.
"Let's see… Jasper is in the Army, he went to West Point and he's a Major. The parents are great, they're going to be SO happy to know we're in contact again. Dad is still practicing, he's the Chief of Staff for the ER at Seattle General. We've been here for about 2 years, Emmett made his choice to play for UofS and so Edward and I decided to come here too, keep the family together." She shrugged.
"Wow. I can't believe we lost contact with each other after just two years."
"But we're together now. I can't wait for the boys to see you. We'll take a group picture and send it to Jasper. He's overseas somewhere right now, he won't believe it."
We arrived at the restaurant and Alice is dragging me behind her.
"Glad I'm chopped liver!" James shouts, and Alice rolls her eyes. "He's so dramatic.
"Emmett, Edward! Look who it is!" Alice shouted.
"Your new roommate!" Edward said with false enthusiasm. Emmett and Rose were making out.
"Really Rose?" I shouted and she jumped fixing her lipstick.
"Oh! Hi Bella." Rose smiled.
"Bella?" Edward and Emmett sat up at the same time. "The Bella?"
"Yes!" Alice bounced.
"The Bella?" Rose questioned.
Alice filled her in on everything and Rose understood then, because I'd told her that story.
"So, where's the other brother?" Rose asked.
"He's off playing G.I. Joe." Edward rolled his eyes.
"He's not playing G.I. Joe., he's the reason you're free." Emmett snapped.
"Whatever." Edward snapped.
"Can you two please get along? Mom and dad will be here in a minute." Alice scolded.
"You can meet my parents." Emmett told Rose and she blushed.
"That's kind of fast, isn't it?" Edward snarked and Emmett flicked him off.
"Bella, would you kindly sit between those two?" Alice asked.
"Sure." I smiled. "Still not getting along boys?"
The Cullen's walked in looking the same as always, Esme was dressed impeccably as always as was Dr. Cullen.
"I see we have two new beauties joining us. Emmett, who is your friend?" Esme asked with a raised brow.
"Mom, dad this is my Rosie." Emmett smiled.
"Oh. Ok." They smiled.
"And Edward?"
"This is our long-lost Bella." He put his arm around me and drew me to his side kissing the side of my head."
"Bella?" Esme screeched and reached for a hug.
"Bella, what brings you to Seattle?" Carlisle asked.
"I'm at the University."
"She's my roommate, along with Rose. The one Emmett is trying to mount." Alice chuckled.
"Alice!" Esme admonished.
"Sorry." Alice smirked.
"So, I see Alice and Edward ended up skipping grades too?" I asked.
"Yes, they were all homeschooled in Alaska, so they were able to advance quickly." Esme said warmly.
"That's awesome."
"Now we can share this." Edward whispered in my ear.
Breakfast was a fun event of catching up on the last couple of years and our lives.
"Jasper has exceled in the military; he'll be on leave in a few weeks and be thrilled to see you. We'll leave it as a surprise." Esme winked at me, causing Edward to pull me closer.
The first two weeks of classes had me finding my way around campus, adjusting to my new life and finding a job at a bakery two blocks away from the college and who were paying me more than minimum wage, and it was ran by a family who had been to my grandmother's bakery in Forks quite often.
The first few weeks also saw Edward and I getting closer.
Whenever we weren't in classes we were together, seeing as I only worked weekends until 10am.
Rose, Alice and I bonded tighter than sisters and when we weren't with our boyfriends, we were with each other.
"Jasper's leave got delayed. It won't be until Thanksgiving now, but he'll be here through Christmas. So that will be even better." Alice bounced as we sat around eating Chinese and doing facials and mani/pedis one Friday night.
"Your mom must be ecstatic." Rose said to Alice.
"You have no idea, wait until the holidays this year ladies. She hasn't seen Jasper in 4 years, except for his graduation and one leave that was cut short." Alice sighed.
"I miss your mom's holidays." I smiled at the memories. "Your house was always the most beautifully decorated."
"I'm sure she'll want you to bake."
"I'll be more than happy to!"
Life was going pretty good, we'd all gone back to Forks several times to visit my family and formally introduce Emmett and Edward to my dad and Rose's parents.
Emmett's and Edward's floor, which was considered the 'football' floor was having a Halloween costume party this weekend and he wanted to go, so I'd taken off Saturday morning, they understood I was a college student who had to have fun occasionally.
"What are you and Edward going as?" Alice asked.
"I don't know." I shrugged. "He said he had it handled.
"James and I are going as Tarzan and Jane." Alice giggled.
"Emmett and I going as pirate and wench." Rose winked.
"I guess we'll see." I shrugged.
Halloween came and a package was delivered for me.
"Well?" Alice asked.
"It's a barely there nurses uniform. I don't even think it'll cover my ass Alice. I can't wear this!" I shook my head.
"So, don't! I've got back ups."
"Really? You're a life saver!" I sighed.
I picked out a different nurse's outfit that was an old-fashioned nurses dress, Alice said. I borrowed a pair of her red heels, she pulled my hair up in a messy bun and affixed the tiny hat from Edward's outfit and gave me smoky makeup.
"Alright, are we ready ladies?" Rose stepped out looking like a model as always.
"Hell yes." Alice laughed spinning around in her green slippers.
"Bella, I think that looks sluttier than the tiny one Edward wanted you to wear. Alice, pairing it with that red lacy push-up bra and heals." Rose gave a thumb up.
We walked up the two flights of stairs and walked into the ragging party, I was immediately grabbed and pulled to the side.
"What the fuck is this?" Edward yelled at me.
"It's my costume." I stated the obvious.
"No, it's not! That's not what I sent you!" he yelled and had a tight hold on my arm.
"You're hurting me Edward." I tried to pull away and he squeezed harder. "I'm 15, I'm not showing off everything to everyone. It was hard enough to wear this bra. But my ass hanging out is a big no!" I tried yanking my arm again.
"You'll be good to do what I say from now on." He growled and walked away.
I turned and walked out. Texting Alice and Rose that it was too loud and giving me a migraine.
I didn't hear back from them so I just left and went to our room.
"And who said you could leave the party?" Edward was hot on my heels?
"I don't want to be there." I pushed open the door and he followed me in.
"You can't be in here!" I protested.
"Special occasion." He smirked and shut the door.
"Just go please, I want to shower and relax." I tried shoving him towards the door.
"I'll decide when I'm ready Bella."
"Edward, I've had self-defense classes, I can take care of myself, so please don't fuck with me."
"Don't use that language!" he grabbed my face and forced a kiss on me.
Shoving him away I slapped his face.
"Don't fucking touch me! Get out."
"You don't mean that." He laughed.
"Yes. I do. I had a boyfriend in high school who tried to pressure me into sex. It didn't work for him, it won't work for you." I poked him in the chest.
Grabbing my hand and pulling it behind my back and pulling me flush to his back "I'm stronger than you, don't you ever forget that. I'll do what I want when I want." He bit my neck hard.
"Ow! What the fuck!" I stomped on his foot.
"Seriously. That's all you've got?" he laughed.
He then proceeded over to my bed and pushed me face down.
"Don't do this Edward. My dad is a cop, your dad is a doctor." I begged.
"You're not going to tell anyone." He laughed.
I woke up the next morning dressed in my pajamas and very sore all over; my sheets were changed Alice and Rose were nowhere to be found. I sat up, wincing at the pain down there and remembered what Edward did and started crying.
There was a knock at the door making me jump.
I walked to the door opening it up and there Edward stood all smug.
"Morning love. Why aren't you dressed for breakfast? I don't like to be kept waiting." He scowled.
"Get the fuck out of here or I will report this. We. Are. Done!" I growled, slamming the door in his face.
He was banging on the door when I heard my RA ask what was wrong.
"She won't answer, I think she's hurt herself." He said panicked.
I flung the door open.
"Siobhan. I just broke up with this jerk, he won't leave me alone, he's lying to you. Promise." I assured her.
"Go, get out of here and don't linger by this door." She enforced.
"My sister lives here." He spat.
"Then she can visit you." She crossed her arms.
She watched Edward storm off and then turned to me "Bella, are you OK? You've got some marks."
"Oh, yeah. He tried, but didn't succeed. That's why I broke up with him." I shrugged.
"Well, I'll make sure everyone knows." She smiled at me.
I went to shower and dress, then to the library by the time I came back Alice and Rose were home.
"We missed you at breakfast and my brother was a major ass. Did you two have a fight?" Alice asked.
"We broke up."
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Rose came over and hugged me, I flinched.
"What's wrong?" Alice looked weary.
"I guess I slept wrong."
"Bella." They said at the same time.
"Edwardrapedme."
"What?" Alice shouted.
I sat on the couch and cried.
"Bella, you have to tell your dad." Rose insisted.
"No, I just want this to go away; for him to stay away from me." I shook my head.
"She's right." Alice said sadly.
"Fine. Let's talk to your parents first though."
Alice called her mom to come pick us up for dinner that night at their house so we could talk. Dr. Cullen would be working, so it'd just be us girls, which made me relax a little more.
This wasn't a conversation I was looking forward too.
