As Edward was driving, Bella started to moan.
"Bella."
Edward murmured lovingly.
"Edward... this is going to sound weird, but why doesn't it hurt?"
"Because you heal faster now. It's part of the change."
He says that so calmly! Bella thought I can hardly bare to think about it!
"Bella? Are you okay?"
"Oh, yeah! Fine. Just, fine."
As Bella said those final words, her voice trailed off into the distant wind. Her thoughts were somewhere else.
People had started asking questions about Mike's death. Her mini-popularity had diminished. She was no longer welcome at the table where she used to sit with Jessica and all of them. Her only friends were the Cullens now. Bella struggled at school. Even some of the teachers started to look down upon her. Her grades were dropping, and her attitude towards school was different. The only reason she went to school everyday was to share that small window of happiness with Edward during Biology.
"Why can't I just drop out of school?"
Bella muttered.
"Because I won't let you."
Edward answered. Bella looked up at him in a puzzled manor.
"I have better hearing that most. Bella. You seam to forget that."
"And you won't let me because you think even though I am a vampire that I should still live a decent life, right?"
Edward sighed
"Sometimes I forget you can do that."
Bella smiled and leaned over to kiss Edward. She pulled away and leaned back on the seat.
"I don't want to go home, Edward. Can't we tell Charlie I'm sleeping over with Alice?"
"Not to night Bella. Alice, Rose and I are... doing something."
"Oh no."
Bella groaned
"What?"
Edward joked
"You're getting me a big present."
"Hey! No searching for gifts in there!"
Edward slammed his hands on his head playfully and flinched. Bella laughed. After a minute, Edward started to laugh too. And that is how they drove to Charlie's
(bad ending i know.)
