So…. It's been a while… So sorry for the late update, I'm in the process of moving so updates will be a bit slow, sorry about that :( Enjoy the new chapter!
I own nothing I promise, really wish I did!
After a bunch of coffee with Angela and awesome musical conversations, I got a text from Charlie asking if I wanted to go to the diner for supper. I texted him back agreeing and got up. "Hey, I gotta go. Charlie's at the diner."
She nodded and smiled, "Okay, do you wanna hang out tomorrow?" She asked.
I nodded back, "Yeah, we Hamilton fans have to stick together."
She smiled brightly, "Awesome, I'll see you tomorrow!" I waved goodbye and left for the diner.
Forks was so small that I didn't have to drive far to the diner. I jumped out of the truck and found Charlie inside. I sat down and he smiled a bit.
"Got you a burger if that's okay." Charlie put down his newspaper, picking up his fork.
I nodded as I grabbed the ketchup, "Yeah, thank you."
The waitress came up to us and smiled at me. "What would you like to drink, Bella?"
I sighed, small towns, everyone knows everyone. "Can I have a regular Coke with no ice please?" I asked.
She nodded and wrote down my order. "It's great to see you again, Bella."
I nodded, smiling a bit. "It's nice to be home."
The next week passed with no issues, including no Edward. He hadn't shown up to school ever since my first day. I had no idea what I ever did to him. I somehow knew it was because of me. Every day since he left, I've felt the rest of the Cullen's eyes on me at lunch. Every time I turned around, it was the same thing. Rosalie and Emmett would glare at me, Jasper would look at me in confusion and pain and Alice would always smile at me. But I suppose it didn't matter too much. I had more important things to worry about than some boy and his family that wanted my head on a silver platter. I noticed that they were incredibly pale. To be fair, this is Forks, the place where the sun never shined but they looked almost as pale as paper. They never ate, they never talked to anyone. These Cullen's were weird.
On Monday, I woke up early as usual and got out of bed quickly. I went to go take a shower and got dressed. I threw on my Prince shirt and some jeans. I put my hair in a ponytail and grabbed my red, spiked heart shaped necklace. I never go anywhere without it, I got it from my mom for my sweet 16. It was during my gothic/emo phase but I still loved it. But who am I kidding? Every once in a while, I'll put on a gothic dress, do my makeup and become the gothic queen I dreamed about being when I was 10. I then put in my Deadpool earrings. He is so my spirit animal! He is such a badass and practically shaped my sense of humor.
I grabbed my backpack and Batman sweatshirt. I took my pill quickly, grabbed a Pop Tart and walked outside as Charlie drove my truck into the driveway. I wasn't paying attention and slipped onto the ice. Ice and I didn't get along. Charlie rushed out of the truck and helped me up. "You okay Bells?"
I nodded, "Yeah, I always sucked at ice skating."
He laughed a bit. "That's why I got you new tires. The other ones were nearly bald." I looked at the tires. Wow, he was really making an effort for me.
I smiled, "Thanks." I said, simply.
He smiled back. "Well, you should head to school. Are you going to the cafe with Angela after?" He asked.
"Most likely." I answered as I got into the car. "I'll let you know if we don't." He nodded and walked into the house. I smiled and drove off, hurrying to school and Angela.
Ever since we hung out after school on my first day, Angela and I had become best friends. We hung out all the time and loved going to the café after school . Ever since we found out about our mutual love of musicals, all we talk about over coffee is Hamilton, Phantom of the Opera and any other that we can think of. Jessica came with one time but quickly found a reason to leave. Guess she's more into shopping than music. Weirdo.
After lunch, Angela and I walked to my Biology class, singing to each other from Hamilton "Alexander Hamilton!" I sang.
Angela laughed and answered "Alexander Hamilton!"
We saw people staring but we honestly didn't care. "We're waiting in the wings for you!" We both sang together as we got to my class. We hugged goodbye and I walked into the room. My eyes widened as I saw Edward Cullen at my table, reading a book.
I stayed in the doorway, stunned for a bit until Mike wrapped his arm around me "Hey Bella!" He smiled.
Edward turned and saw his arm around me, almost glaring at Mike….odd.
I rolled my eyes and spun out of his arm "Hi Mike." I smile politely. Mike started talking my ear off and I snuck a peek at Edward who was smiling at the table.
The bell rang and we all sat down. I kept my distance from Edward, knowing he wouldn't want to speak to me. Mr. Cawthon gave us a worksheet and told us to get started. I put my headphones in, put on the Side Show soundtrack and started working. I got done with it after 10 minutes, I've done this class before. Back in Arizona, I took Bio sophomore year so I remembered a lot of it. I turned it into Mr. Cawthon, went back to the table and started reading my Hamilton book. I kept one earbud out just in case he had any more for me to do.
"Hello." I heard a heavenly voice whisper to me, I took out my earbud and looked over, seeing Edward smiling at me. "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself last week. I'm Edward Cullen. You're Bella?" He asked stiffly, what is wrong with this boy?
I nodded a bit, "Y...Yeah.." He half smiled and went to turn in his worksheet. I stayed there in silence. He walked back and smiled at me as he sat down. I chose to return to my music, not really needing to talk to him. While Violet and Daisy were fighting, yelling "Leave me alone!" in my ear, I looked outside and saw it was pouring rain. I sighed softly, smiling a bit.
"Liking the rain?" I heard Edward ask, laughing a bit. I rolled my eyes, why do people like him again? I looked over at him. Oh, right. Hot.
"Seriously?" I smiled.
He looked at me confused, "What is it?"
I laughed a bit, "Are you asking me about the weather? Really?"
He smiled a bit. "Y..Yeah...I am…" He looked away, probably embarrassed. I rolled my eyes again and went back to my book.
"What are you reading?" He asked. I sighed, he just didn't give up did he?
I looked over at him and said, "It's a book on Alexander Hamilton." I went back to my book as he nodded. He returned to his reading from before class. Good, maybe he'll leave me alone for a bit.
"You like History?" He asked. I glanced over at him, nodding a bit while keeping my face in my book.
After a bit of silence, he closed his book and turned to me again. "So why did you move here?"
I looked up at him. "Well, my mom remarried-" I started then he cut me off
"Do you not like the guy?"
I raised an eyebrow "No, Phil's cool. He's a minor league baseball player, so he travels a lot. My mother stayed home with me but it made her unhappy. So I decided to spend time with my Dad..."
He nodded and looked at me seriously, "Well what about you? Are you happy?"
My eyes widened and I looked down at the table. I shook my head quickly and smiled, "I'm happy. I love my dad and I missed him. I was planning on seeing him sometime soon anyway."
He raised an eyebrow, I knew he didn't believe me. "I am happy." I insisted, he shook his head and went back to his book. I roll my eyes, whatever. I went back to my book and listened to Daisy and Violet lament their love life.
"Isn't there a musical about him?" He asked suddenly, pointing to my book.
I looked up at him, kinda irritated. "Yeah, Hamilton." I answered.
He nodded and we went back into silence. He looked over at my shirt and smiled.
I looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?" Kinda creeped out with him staring at my chest.
He looked back into my eyes, "You like Prince?"
I looked down and smiled at my shirt, "Yeah, he was amazing."
He nodded, "Gone too soon." I smiled a bit, he knew Prince? Maybe this boy was cultured after all.
The bell rang and I got up quickly and put my stuff away. He stood up with me and grabbed his stuff as well. I walked out of the room but felt him behind me.
I turned around, "What is it?" I suddenly noticed his eyes, they were golden brown. Wait, weren't his eyes as black as coal when we met? "Did you get contacts?" I asked.
His eyes widened, "No." He said simply. There is no way he didn't, I know his eyes were black.
"Your eyes...they're different. They're like, topaz or something. Didn't they used to be black?"
He backed away a bit, "Y..Yeah...it's the fluorescence." He walked away quickly. What a weirdo.
I sighed and went to history where Angela and I just cracked jokes at Mrs. Hamilton's name. Yes, we act like we're ten, what do you want?
Angela told me after class that she had an appointment after school so we would go for coffee later, she would just pick me up at my house. I agreed and walked to my truck, putting in my headphones and texting Charlie that I would be home for a bit before I went to the cafe. I threw my backpack into the cargo bed and felt a pair of eyes on me. I turned around and saw Edward by his car at the other end of the lot. He looked at me like he was trying to solve a hard math problem. I shook my head, that boy is messed up in the head. I turned up the Les Miserables soundtrack on my phone and unlocked my truck.
I suddenly heard tires screeching closer to me. I turned quickly and saw a van rushing towards me sideways. I rushed to get out of the way but fell on some ice. Damn it! I am not going to die this way! I tried to get up but my arms wouldn't obey me. I suddenly felt an arm around me and saw the van pushed away from me. I looked at it in shock then looked up at my rescuer, wanting to know,
1. How did they push the van like it was nothing.
2. How they got so close to me in a short amount of time.
"E..Edward?" I asked softly. He stared into my eyes, seemingly searching them. He got up and walked away as people started running to me, screaming about calling 911. I stayed there in silence until I finally got control of my body. I got up and said, "I'm okay, I'm okay." I tried to calm people down but the ambulance had already got there. I tried to refuse getting into the car, saying I was fine to drive but they all but pushed me in.
An hour later, I was in the hospital, getting checked out by the third nurse I've seen today. "Honestly, I'm fine." I tried to tell her but she just laughed a bit.
Charlie rushed in as soon as I spoke. Great, now he's gonna freak out. "Bells! Are you okay?"
I nodded, sighing as I responded for what seemed like the hundredth time. "Yes, I'm okay."
I looked over and saw a young boy with a bandage on his head. "Oh my god! I am so sorry Bella! I hit some ice wrong!"
I shook my head, not mad at all. "It's okay, I'm fine."
"No, it's sure as hell not okay Bella!" Charlie shot back at the boy.
"Dad, it was an accident." I told him, he sighed and looked at the boy.
"You can kiss your licence goodbye." He glared at him.
I sighed as the doctor walked in. He was a tall, almost platinum haired man with pale skin, like Edward's. Maybe his dad? Didn't Jessica say he was a doctor? He smiled at me. "Hello Bella." He grabbed my chart "Got a nasty bump on your head huh?"
I nodded. "Y..Yeah I guess…" He smiled a bit and did some tests to make sure I was okay. I looked at the badge on his chest, Dr. Cullen. I knew it!
"Well, looks like you'll be fine Ms. Swan." He smiled.
I turned to Charlie, "Like I said." I teased him.
He put his hands up in defeat. "Fine fine! You win Bells!"
I laughed then turned to the doctor. "Dr. Cullen?" I ask.
He turned and smiled. "Carlisle is fine, Bella."
I smiled, "Carlisle, aren't you Edward's father?"
He nodded, seemingly surprised at the question. "Yes, why?"
"Can you tell him thank you for me?" I asked. "If it wasn't for him, this would probably be a lot worse."
He nodded, smiling. "Of course Bella."
He turned to leave. "It's strange though," I said, mostly talking to myself. "Before the car, he was nowhere near me."
He tensed up a bit, what did I say? "Well...it's lucky he got to you then." He walked out. I got up and grabbed my bag.
Charlie and I walked out until he stopped us by the reception desk. "I'll sign you out, you should get home and call your mom."
My eyes widened. "You told her?" I asked. He gave me a "Duh!" look.
I sighed "Great! That'll be fun to explain!" He went to the desk and I went towards the door, checking the time. 4:15, wonderful. I better call Angela. I looked for her number but then heard a woman angrily talking
"This isn't just about you! This is about all of us!" The woman whispered.
"What was I supposed to do? Let her die?" A heavenly voice shot back. Edward?
"We should take this into my office." I heard Carlisle speak calmly. I decided to make myself known. I had to know what the hell that was! I turned the corner and cleared my throat.
Edward, Rosalie and Carlisle looked at me, almost bitter. Seriously? Is it Hate Bella Day?!
"Can I talk to you?" I asked Edward.
"Rose." Carlisle grabbed her arm and dragged her away.
Edward walked up to me. "What?" He demanded.
Oh hell no! You do not talk to me like that! "How the hell did you get to me so fast?" I demanded back.
He laughed a bit. "I was standing next to you."
Oh, you're gonna lie to me? Bring it on! "No, you were across from me, almost the other side of the lot!"
He looked confused, "No I wasn't."
I glared at him, "Yes you fucking were!"
He momentarily looked shocked at my language but sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Bella, you hit your head, you're just confused." He said calmly.
Oh, bitch face is gonna come now! "I know what I saw!"
"And what was that exactly?" He said, taunting me.
"You…." Okay, this is gonna sound so freaking stupid! " You stopped the van, you pushed it away!"
He got closer to me, "And who is gonna believe that, Ms. Swan?"
I glared at the name. "I wasn't gonna tell anyone, I just want the truth."
He sighed, "Can't you just thank me and get over it?"
I crossed my arms, "Thank you."
We had a glare down until he finally groaned "You're not gonna let this go are you?"
I smiled sarcastically. "Yeah…..no."
He glared at me again. "Well, in that case, I hope you enjoy disappointment." He walked away. I stood there for a second. What a fucking asshole!
I sighed and walked out to my truck, cursing Edward Cullen's name as I did. I plugged my phone in and sighed, turning my music up as I pulled out of the ER.
"Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!"
Well? How'd I do? Please review as they really help me stay motivated!
Song: Let's Go Crazy- Prince
