Chapter 6:
3rd person POV
Edward knew something had changed the minute he saw her. The news of a new student by the name of Bella Swan had travelled fast. The image of the girl through the students' minds. She was back. And she was human. Most likely with no idea of who they were at all.
His head was up and he noticed her looking their way, and then that his siblings were doing the same.
Bella! rang through their minds. The shock clear, the surprise great and the echo of loss running through all five of them.
Bella, Edward thought a bit sadly. She looked lonely there she sat with her lunch. She was not the same vampire Queen anymore.
He had seen in many minds that Bella avoided the students that tried to approach her and at least that was not all too strange. But she was seen with a smile that Edward easily could tell was fake.
Jasper noticed Edward's frown and read more into his emotions and then took another look at Bella. Her lunch was finished and she was back at looking at them.
"Why is she staring?" Emmett asked. "Why does she not come and say 'hi'?" he wondered.
"She's shy," Rosalie pointed out, looking over at the human.
"Her emotions…she's confused, a sense of familiarity, love…hm…"
"Jasper," Edward warned.
"What? Bella helped Alice and me years ago. If it had not been for her I would most likely not be the same person as I am now. I just wanted to calm her down a bit." Jasper shrugged.
"Jasper is right, Edward. It's not like it helps that you're practically glaring at her," Alice muttered.
"I'm not glaring," he hissed in response.
"Sooo glaring," Emmett teased followed by quiet laughter.
"I'm going to talk to her," Rose said and arose from her chair.
"Rose," Alice said and rested her left hand on Rose's right arm. "Do not say too much so you scare her away. I've seen many possibilities already."
Rosalie gave a firm nod and made her way to Bella's table.
"May I sit?" she asked with a careful smile.
"Uhm…sure," Bella said slowly. A bit taken aback by her beauty.
"I'm Rosalie, but you may call me Rose," she said.
"Bella," Bella muttered.
"I know," Rosalie responded and smiled.
"Not to seem rude, but are you a supermodel or something?" Bella asked without thinking, immediately blushing.
Sweet, Emmett thought when he noticed. She's a blusher! He then met Edward's eyes as he was glaring at him and a low growling sound could be heard for vampire ears.
"Emmett," Edward hissed lowly.
Rosalie laughed. "No, I'm not. But thank you for the compliment."
Bella and Rose did not have time to exchange more words than 'see you' when the bell rang. Both going their separate ways. Bella rushing towards biology and Rose to walk with Emmett.
Bella walked into biology, the sense of familiarity growing stronger and stronger as she saw the boy that had been sitting on Rosalie's table. Mr. Banner directed her to the seat beside him. Apparently his name was Edward and he kept looking at her throughout the class. She tried to ignore it, but his gaze practically burned through her head.
What is his problem? she thought and moved her hair a bit so it shielded her face.
Finally the bell rang and she practically sprinted out of class and towards gym. Not that gym was her favorite subject, but she rather avoid the staring Edward. He had not even said a word all through class!
"Bella Swan I assume," the coach said. "You may partner up with Emmett over there."
Bella looked over at the guy she had seen together with Rosalie. Wow, he was really huge, and sort of scary. However, she quickly learnt that he was a big softy and a goofball.
"Tell me, Emmett. You're a senior, but have gym with the juniors. May I ask why?" Bella asked and got a grin in response.
"I failed last year. So I have to take gym for both junior and senior class," he said, almost a bit proud.
"Uhm…ok." She really was not sure of how to respond to that. He really did not mind.
"How come you're so clumsy?" Emmett asked aloud. He did not mean for her to hear it, but the slip was too late to take back.
"Eh, gained my clumsiness from my father's side for some reason. Which is why I suck in gym but rule in all other subjects."
Emmett raised a brow. "Really?"
Bella blushed as she noticed what she had said. "I seem to know it all. Not to sound weird. But like I've always had the information in my head. I don't even have to open a text book to read for tests. I just know the answer when I see the question," she explained.
"Awesome."
Only Emmett would see it as such, Bella thought. Usually it makes me a freak to normal people. Meh, then again what is normal?
After class Bella grimaced as she started the truck and gained a lot of stares, even the Cullens. She wanted to hide behind the wheel when she noticed Edward from biology stare as well.
She made her way back home in one piece and prepared dinner for Charlie, finished homework within no time. When he was back from work she decided to ask him about the Cullens.
"The Cullen family is great. Dr. Cullen and his wife adopted six kids-"
"Six?" I had not noticed six in the cafeteria.
"The youngest is being homeschooled. Anyway, ever since he started at the hospital a lot of lives has been saved. The kids does not create any problems either. Then whenever it is sunny, the doctor and his wife take them camping and hiking…"
He seemed to get lost in thought and Bella thought it over. So strange.
After cleaning the dishes, she made her way to her room and got ready for bed. Just hoping that she would not wake up as early the next day. However, she was in for a surprise.
Edward sat outside her window with Renesmee. She was thirteen now and she was curiously creeping closer to the window.
"Is that mom?" she asked the sleeping figure.
"Yeah," Edward muttered.
"She looks so different," she pointed out.
"She is a bit different as well. Because she's human now, also she does not remember us," he admitted sadly.
"Oh." Tears gathered in the corner of Nessie's eyes and she wiped them quickly. "I want mama back," she then whispered.
"Me too." You have no idea.
He sent Nessie home and entered the room quickly and quietly. Even though he was fast, nothing could prepare him for what happened next.
Bella's door started to open and he jumped into her closet. Charlie came walking in and put on the small lamp by her bed. His frown was deep and Edward held his breath.
"You sleep like the dead, kid," Charlie said quietly. "I always have to check that you're ok, I know your mother did as well."
Edward decided to look into Charlie's mind and the images was vivid. The memory so clear. Charlie was holding a dead baby one moment, and the next she suddenly pulled a deep breath and her heart started up.
"You were so tiny, and I was afraid you would disappear again. I have a feeling you will leave us soon, and with that I mean your mom and me." He sighed. "You have always been different and never really fit completely in. I'm not saying it won't hurt when you leave, but I will stay strong because I got a second chance with my baby girl." He leaned over and kissed her forehead. He looked to the window and noticed that it was open. He went over and closed it tight, and then he made his way to his own room.
Knowing it was safe Edward came out of his hiding place. The light was still on, and to be honest he could not say that he wasn't touched. Charlie was a man that truly loved his daughter. In his mind he had seen he nearly worshipped the ground she walked on. When Renee had left him, Bella was the one that kept his days bright and the one who kept him alive after the loss of a wife.
Edward swallowed heavily and caressed her face. She seemed to press herself against his hand without her even noticing and a smile graced his lips.
He pulled back and exited through the window, but made sure to close it behind him. He ran home.
"Papa and mama will be together soon," Renesmee told Rosalie confidently when Edward entered the house.
"Sure they will," Rosalie responded, not so sure at all.
Renesmee nodded happily and kissed her father's cheek before running off to bed. Edward smiled softly.
"I don't know what I would have done without her," he said quietly, mainly to himself.
"You would probably had tried to kill yourself somehow," Jasper muttered, knowing his brother well.
"Then it is a good thing you had her while waiting for Bella, at least you got to bond with her," Rose said softly.
Alice came bouncing through the door.
"What has your panties in a twist?" Emmett boomed.
Alice stuck her tongue out. "I have seen it!" she said happily. "The wedding! Oh I can't wait! I need to prepare, the dress, the flowers-"
She was on her way to walk up the stairs when Rosalie reached after the pixie, caught her arm, and dragged her back. "What wedding?"
"Edward and Bella's wedding!"
Edward frowned.
"I doubt they have made any decisions about weddings yet," Jasper pointed out.
"But this is so clear! The clearest vision I have ever had. They're going to marry no matter what happens, yay!"
"And the beast is unleashed," Emmett muttered.
"We're not even together Alice, neither were we before she died," Edward hissed and made his way to leave. He needed to clear his head.
Alice frowned. "It's going to happen, whether you like it or not. You're mates, accept it!"
Jasper nodded a bit to himself. "The part with accept the mate I must agree with."
"It's time to make your move, bro."
Rosalie hit him.
"Hey, what was that for?"
"You're being an idiot again…"
"You're kidding me."
"No, I am not. Now, behave."
"I'll see you later. I need to run," Edward said and with that he disappeared through the front door again.
He ran as fast as his legs could bear and he did not stop. Then when he was on his way back he stopped by his favorite meadow. He collapsed and landed on his knees and hands. He supported himself as sobs wracked through his body. She was back.
She really was back.
Any questions?
Hope you liked it :)
