Twilight Through Alice's Eyes Chapter 14
A/N: Sorry it took a while to update. Sunday I had church and then went to my grandma's house. Monday I did relay for life then school work after that was over then I had to go to work where my boss was observing me teach and after that dress rehearsal for the band concert which is this Sunday. Then Yesterday, I had school and then dance class. After that one of my students called me and told me that one of my other students who she doesn't like found her phone number and keeps calling her. Maybe I shouldn't have given my phone number to my students but oh well, too late now. I was on the phone until like 10pm yesterday talking to her so that we can sort this all out. Sorry about the short rant but as you can see, I've been busy. Anyway on a note completely unrelated to the previous topic, upon reading Twilight again I found a flaw in my story. I want to see if you guys can guess it before I actually say what it is. No one has noticed it yet and I'm surprised. Anyway, once again sorry for not updating, but here's chapter 14.
Chapter 14
APOV
Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and I were one of the few people at the school that didn't want to go to the hospital to sit in the waiting room and see how the accident victims-and Edward-were. Honestly, I think that we all were too mad at Edward to really be concerned for the others; I mean he almost, could even be did, get himself caught. He wasn't careful and I know that Bella is curious as to what happened.
The rest of the day passed by quickly. There was a message for us at the front office from Edward saying that we were supposed to take the Volvo home and that he would be there waiting. I think that we were all ready to go home and yell at Edward for his little stunt. Even trying to put myself in Edward's place I had a hard time trying not to be extremely mad. I could understand his reason for saving Bella; trying to save his true love, that's why I'm assuming he did it. To think that he almost got caught, after a century, he almost came right out and said, "Hey, look, I'm not human!"
Rosalie was the one who drove home. She was gripping the steering wheel tightly. She was so mad that she and Emmett didn't even have their usual argument on the way home. Once we got home Edward was in the kitchen with Esme. Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper just walked passed and said high to Esme but completely ignored Edward. I'm pretty sure that Jasper was under the control of Rosalie and Emmett's emotions because just walking away isn't something that he normally does.
I sat on the couch in the living room. I didn't completely want to shun Edward but I was still really mad. I was trying to figure out what I was going to say to Edward but I felt that I needed to block out Edward from my mind so I translated the book World Origins and Their Romantic Stories into Arabic. Esme and Edward were silent for the most part, they probably had their little talk before we got home.
I heard Edward sigh from the kitchen and he walked out and sat next to me on the couch. "So, Alice, are you giving me the silent treatment, too?"
"It's debatable. I want to talk to you, but I'm so mad that I can't think of what to say to you." Neither of us looked at each other while we spoke.
"You could start by saying what's really on your mind. I know that you're blocking it from me but I still what to know what you really think."
"What I think is that that was stupid Edward. You almost got yourself caught. You did not hide who you were for years just to let it go and slip out the way it did. There were probably people there, at least Bella, that realized that you weren't beside her and you just came out of no where."
"You know that Bella is curious?"
"Yes, I had a vision of you and Bella at the hospital talking. She noticed that you weren't next to her and then you tackled her to protect her. How are you going to explain that to her? I know that she asked you and you refuse to tell her even one thing."
"What else am I supposed to say, Alice, 'Hey Bella, the reason that I got over to you so quickly is because I'm a vampire and I want to kill you because I'm attracted to your blood?' I think that would go over real well Alice."
"You don't have to act smart Edward. I know that you can't tell her the truth but avoiding her is not going to help out the situation. She knows that you're hiding something and she wants to know what that something is. You could get to know her better and see if she can be trusted or not and maybe, and that's a big maybe, tell her then but I don't recommend ignoring her." I got a vision after I was finished telling Edward my feelings.
Mike walked up to the table that Bella and Edward were sitting at. "So, Jessica asked me to the spring dance."
"That's great. You'll have a lot of fun with Jessica." It seemed Bella was trying to make it obvious that she wasn't going to the dance without crushing Mike completely.
"Well. . . I told her I had to think about it." Mike was clearly hinting to Bella to ask him to the dance. He seemed so clueless.
"Why would you do that?" Bella used a little too much disapproval as she said this that it sounded almost like disgust. He blushed as it sank in that she really wasn't going to ask him out.
"I was wondering if. . . well, if you might be planning to ask me." Edward head tilted toward Bella just a little bit. It was obvious he wanted to hear what she was about to be saying.
"Mike, I think you should tell her yes."
"Did you already ask someone?" Mike's eyes flickered over to Edward and he got a very small smirk on his face like he was enjoying Mike being turned down.
"No. I'm not going to the dance at all."
"Why not?"
Bella paused for a second to come up with an excuse for turning him down. "I'm going to Seattle that Saturday."
I snapped out of it and Edward was staring at me, curious as to what I saw. "Brother, I have figured out the perfect time to get to know Bella."
"You have?" Edward looked resentful. Sometimes when I say I know something's perfect I mean for other people or for no one and am being sarcastic.
"Yes. Bella is going to turn down Mike when he asks her if she is going to ask him to the spring dance." I paused seeing if he would catch on.
"And this has to do with the perfect time to get to know Bella because?"
"Because she made up the excuse that she is going to Seattle that Saturday."
"So?" Sometimes Edward just doesn't get it. It could be the simplest thing in the world and he really doesn't understand it. I guess love isn't simple though.
"So, you and I both know how old Bella's truck is. You could ask if she wants a ride there." I knew that he wasn't going to listen to me, but a girl can always hope.
A/N: Thanks for reading. I really do want to see if anyone has noticed what I messed up on in my story. I don't think I'll get another chapter up tonight. My brother needs the computer, I need to get my mom a birthday present, and I need to work on my airplane project. Anyway, please review. ;)
