Sorry guys if
this is bad. I've been neglecting this story for a while because I
couldn't think of anything to do next. I'll try to remain a
little focused. Maybe if I write more I'll be able to get back "in
the zone." Just warning you…Oh and the song is one I wrote called
Twilight kiss. It was for a different twilight fan fiction but I
thought it looked good in this one so…
Chapter three: If you know what's good for you

No, no I was not going to do or say anything! I had to leave him alone and just continue on with my life, that is…if I ever wanted to live. Third times the charm, they always say. I'd already survived two bad relationships and the near death experiences that came with them. Anymore and I'd better start making reservations for a plot in Forks cemetery or mental ward. Whichever came fist, insanity or death. Both seemed pretty likely to me, I mean what if I ended up with someone abusive? I don't think I'd retain much sanity after that.
It was like the whole world was conspiring against me today. "Hey let's make Bella squirm!" Ha! As if they could send a more gorgeous guy to catch my attention. Well he had it, and my attention was finally turning elsewhere. I refused to look at him throughout class and tried (unsuccessfully) to pay attention to the lesson that was being written on the board.
And once class ended, I got up as swiftly as I could and just about ran out the door. Of course, I tripped and spilled my books all over the floor- notes and papers raining down on everyone who had been standing near enough. And then, just as I was hurriedly scrambling to pick up my papers as fast as I could, I felt a cold hand touch mine. I looked up and saw him reaching for the same paper I was, the result making our hands touch. His skin was fridged, not to mention the uncomfortable current that seemed to be running from his hand to mine. I grabbed the paper quickly and tried to get the other few remaining papers.
But fate was just being cruel because I noticed that he had the other papers. "Thanks," I mumbled a little impolitely before taking the papers and practically rushing to next period.
I thought after the little hallway scene I'd caused that everything would die down. Well it went completely the other way.
"God Bella, he was just being nice. Did you have to be so rude?"
"She did everything but scream at him," someone else whispered from behind me. I rolled my eyes before I took my seat and proceeded to ignore him. Edward Cullen wasn't in this class, but the whispers that followed were as present as ever.
"…totally hot!"
"…wasting his time if you ask me," I heard Mike say to Tyler from the back row. "She doesn't date guys that aren't perfect. But she doesn't seem to be taking an interest in Cullen either."
"Pu-uh-leeze." I looked around and saw Lauren whispering to Jessica, casting a few glances my way every few seconds. "As if he should have even bothered. I mean all that stuff was just her junky lyrics anyway." I felt my face redden but tried to ignore their comments. I'd lived through this before, and also much worse. To hell and back, I've been to hell and back, I chanted to myself. This is nothing.
"…not even that pretty," the whispers grew a bit louder, as if they were trying to make sure I heard it.
"I heard that she's in a gang and does drugs and stuff. Something to do with her dad and mom getting divorced and…whatever else! The whole family's screwed up if you ask me."
"Tons of people get a divorce. Suck it up!" I heard the two snickering from a few seats to my left, both looking directly at me but laughing behind their hands like grade schoolers.
Our Russian teacher had just started writing the assignment on the board. Ok, an hour and a half. You can do this, Bells. Just don't listen to them.
Easier said than done. Like I said, I had the worst luck of anyone I had ever met. And that was about to be proven once again for me when I heard Lauren's final comment.
"Why anyone would waste their time on her is beyond me. I mean it was obvious he was only being nice, but the least she could do as act civil. She just glared at him like he'd killed her dog or something, someone like her just doesn't deserve someone like him-
"Shut up," I said through clenched teeth.
"Excuse me?" Lauren blinked a few times, as if not really wanting to believe I'd said anything to her.
"You have no idea what you're talking about!" I stood up, my face flaming and my eyes burning. This was just like the whispers that followed me after I'd broken up with Will and Jack. People used to think I was a sweet innocent girl, but then they began to think I was a troubled child who mixed with the wrong crowd to drown out family troubles. But that wasn't it at all! I was happy with Charlie and Renee and even though they were divorced, they were polite to each other and made an effort to stay close and visit for my sake. People started rumors that I'd been arrested for drug dealing and stuff like that, but that wasn't it at all. I had no idea either of them had been into any of that until it'd been too late.
And just as it seemed to be going back to normal, whatever that is, Edward Cullen shows up and ruins everything! People were starting to forget about me and more onto bigger and better things and now it seems I couldn't even be allowed that pleasure. Well no more! I was going to make my own luck!
Lauren glared at me with icy hate. Her eyes daring me to do anything right here in class but she still didn't get it! I wasn't like that, I was Bella Swan- not some delinquent daughter of chief Swan.
"Is there a problem, Miss Swan?" asked Ms. Linden.
"Yes there is." I grabbed my bag, stuffed my books angrily into it and stormed out of the classroom, ignoring the calls of the teacher and the boos/mocking cheers of the other students.
A string of curses flew out of my mouth quietly as I stomped into someone on the way out of the classroom. I'd been so angry I hadn't seen that someone was standing in front of the door. Cold arms caught my shoulders and steadied me before I fell backwards and had to hear the roars of laughter from Lauren and Jessica. The room was silent, except for a voice in my head that was still screaming the curses in anger- only a little louder.
I looked up almost instinctively and was met by a pair of startlingly yellow eyes. I felt my heart jump excitedly in my chest as I finally realized who I'd just run into.
"Damn," I said under my breath so he wouldn't hear. "It's you," I said a little louder. He frowned at me, as if he had heard what I said. The electric current was back, flowing between the two of us. "Can you let go of me now?"
"Oh, sorry." He let go of my shoulders and I straightened up.
"Thanks," when I slipped past him, I felt his arm brush mine and heard him whisper so softly I wasn't sure if I'd actually heard him.
"Meet me in the back parking entrance," I thought I'd heard as I walked by. I glanced up at him but his attention was turned to Ms. Linden who was smiling broadly and blushing a bit. He smiled at her before handing her a note and sliding into one of the other desks. Just as I was about to pass the door, I could have sworn I saw him give me the faintest smile.

What was wrong with me? It was obvious she hated me, so why had I even bothered? Maybe it was her expression that seemed a cross between fury and grief. I wanted to wrap my arms around her at that moment but the class was still an audience, whether I liked it or not. Somehow I'd have to find a way to get out of class before it ended, Bella was waiting. But I still didn't have any information on her. So acting as casual as I could, I scribble a note onto a piece of paper and then slid it under a girl that I thought was named Angelina. She looked a little surprised but opened it slowly, her lips moving as she read the words.
What do you know about Isabella Swan?
She shrugged at me before writing back.
Not much, though don't listen to what anyone says about her.
What are they saying about her?
She looked anger for a second, not at me but just at some unseen force.
A couple of years ago she was in two bad relationships with a two guys who were involved in gangs and drugs. She wasn't into that stuff or anything, she didn't realize they were until it was too late. She ended up almost dying both times.
Two times? Wow! Did she date them at once?
She shook her head slowly.
No, Bella's not that kind of girl. She didn't get over Will very easy either. She was really depressed for four months, then she just started to get angry at him. That's when she met Jack. Well she saw it as a good idea to be able to pick up some broken pieces with someone else- so obviously he was taking advantage of a pretty broken up Bella.
Horror was creeping up on me. I felt angry for Bella and I wanted to scream at the other students for saying such horrible things to her.
Wow…that makes a lot of sense.
That's why she doesn't trust men really. She hasn't dated since she was almost shot-
Shot?!
That was her near death experience the second time. She was caught in the crossfire of two gangs. Well she just has bad luck with guys, she ended up with two losers who ended up running away like-
They left here there?
Well yeah. They would have gone to jail I except. Bella would have died the first time if that poor lady wasn't walking her dog.
That's horrible!
It is. It's even worse that she has to put up with all these kids. She's just unlucky.
With the amount of bad luck she had, it wasn't just bad luck- it was like there was someone with a Bella voodoo doll somewhere. (He's not being serious by the way.)
Thanks Angelina!
No problem-
As soon as the period was over, I rushed out of the classroom like Bella had in first period and headed to the back parking lot. Leaning against the black stretch limo with a calculating expression, was Bella. She was wearing a baby blue t-shirt and a pair of dark wash jeans. Her expression and searching gaze seemed to make a lot more sense now and I didn't want anything other than to get back to the house and talk with Bella. For hours and hours if I could, but she was only human after all. (Her blood smells good to him but he can resist her better in my story).
I'm sure she'd like Alice and Emmet. Everyone would love her right away too. I felt sorry for her, her bad luck that seemed to pour down on her like Forks rain. That's what I kept telling myself, as I neared closer and gestured for her to get in the limo with me, at least.
{Verse}
These lips aren't used to saying these words
These ears aren't used to hearing you say them back
Can you repeat them just to me?
One more time, just for luck
I'd like to think that this isn't another dream
That I haven't fallen asleep
(Fallin', fallin' through reality)
But you just can't be real
'Cause I'm just guessing angel's don't exist outside a dream
{Chorus}
Just say it one more time, whisper it in my ear
Please don't break my heart like others
I'm just weather beaten and worn
But if you'll have me, pieces and all
I'm sure your words can make me fall (fall, fall, fall)
One more time, just for luck
You'll make me tremble
You'll make me, makin' me, makin' my heart tremble
But we'll always be, always, always be
'Cause together we're a twilight kiss
'Cause we're the whisper of another fading day…
{Verse}
Was this your plan from the beginning?
To swoop me up like a hawk?
Well I've got to say it's working, I'm already trembling into my soul
I'm already trembling with love for you
More love then I've felt before
If you put the pieces back together
I'm sure it won't take much
I'm spinnin' in a circle
Watching the snow flakes fall
Looking like little angels, reflecting your words back to me…!
{Chorus}
Just say it one more time, whisper it in my ear
Please don't break my heart like others
I'm just weather beaten and worn
But if you'll have me, pieces and all
I'm sure your words can make me fall (fall, fall, fall)
One more time, just for luck
You'll make me tremble
You'll make me, makin' me, makin' my heart tremble
But we'll always be, always, always be
'Cause together we're a twilight kiss
'Cause we're the whisper of another fading day…
{Verse}
What does love mean, in the end?
Could you possibly mean what I think?
Or could I just be dreaming, dreaming something unreal
Floating down a river
But soaring through the skies
You make me feel like anything can happen
And anything is real
Your touch is like fire
Burning through my soul
But keep me in your arms, don't ever let go…!
{Chorus}
Just say it one more time, whisper it in my ear
Please don't break my heart like others
I'm just weather beaten and worn
But if you'll have me, pieces and all
I'm sure your words can make me fall (fall, fall, fall)
One more time, just for luck
You'll make me tremble
You'll make me, makin' me, makin' my heart tremble
But we'll always be, always, always be
'Cause together we're a twilight kiss
'Cause we're the whisper of another fading day…
{Verse}
Hold me forever
Until this day fades
Colors stretching across the sky
You were my shooting star
But you said I was your moon
Keep me at your side, until I can see the dawn
Already I can feel the whisper
The night that's creeping closer
A farewell kiss of the day
It's just another twilight kiss
Another soft whisper of the fading day…
