Wobbles 03
P.S. Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twlight or its characters. I do however own the plot!
The ride home was quiet. Too quiet.
Carlisle and Esme were sitting up front, with Carlisle speeding down the road. What is it with these vampires and their need for speed?
Speed . . . Vampires weren't the only ones. Werewolves liked speed as well.
Jacob liked speed to.
I felt my throat tighten and those stupid traitor tears try to fall down my cheeks. I pushed them back, hoping that the vampires in the car wouldn't notice. It was a futile attempt. They probably smelled the salt.
UGH!! Why do vampires have to have all these extra – special abilities?
Why would Jacob even say that? He just doesn't want to be friends anymore, even after all that we went through together. Does our friendship really mean less to him than his hatred for people (vampires – I reminded myself) that he doesn't even know? Even if they are vampires, it shouldn't matter!
I felt those stupid tears push harder against my eyes. I quickly closed them. Maybe that would stop Carlisle and/or Esme from noticing them.
Like I said before, futile attempt.
"Bella, sweetie, are you alright?" Emse asked me in her soft, caring voice. It was this very odd time that I wish she wasn't so understanding, that she would just yell and lecture me because of my previous actions. It would help ease the guilt I was feeling.
I nodded my head, "I'm fine Esme."
She looked at me worriedly and then turned to Carlisle. They stared at each other for a while and then glanced away. Every so often I could see their eyes glancing towards each other. It didn't take much to realize that they were talking, probably about me, at speeds much too fast and voices much too soft for me to understand.
I gave a soft sigh. I hated it when any of the Cullen family did this. I cannot wait until I become a vampire and then they can't do this to me. They will have to keep me in the loop. Only 6 months, Bella, only six months.
You know, this is taking a surprisingly long time to get there, considering how it is a Cullen who is driv –
"We're here."
I spoke to soon.
Unbuckling my seatbelt I leaned towards my door, which suddenly opened to reveal my crutches and Carlisle.
"Remember how to use the crutches Bella?" He asked me.
"It'd be pretty hard to forget. I have no idea how many times I've needed them. Although, I do think this is the first time I've needed them because I fell down the stairs."
He chuckled.
Turns out I remembered how to use the crutches, I just forgot how flipping annoying and difficult they are to use. Half way to the house I had fallen a total of 6 times. 3 of which I ended up hitting Carlisle and nearly breaking the crutches. The other 3 I just stumbled and Carlisle caught me before I could actually land flat on my face and break my other leg. With me it's probably possible.
I slipped (again), one of my crutches sliding beneath me and in an unsuccessful attempt to right myself I swung the other. Unfortunately, this was a very stupid move because I swung too high and ended up hitting Carlisle across the chest. Thank heavens for vampire speed! Carlisle took my crutches and held me up right until I stopped swaying.
"I'm sorry." I blushed.
Suddenly I was in the living room, sitting on the love seat in front of the television. My crutches nowhere to be found. I blinked.
"What would you like for dinner, dear?" Esme called from the kitchen.
"Oh! Umm . . . Whatever you make is fine."
"Pasta it is!"
The T.V. came to life at a volume that made me jump about 2 feet in the air. Not the easiest feat while wearing a cast. Emmet must have been the last one using the television.
I heard a chuckle from the left of me and jumped again. Carlisle appeared out of nowhere.
"The last time you hit me with your crutches seems to have been the death of them. We'll have a new pair for you tomorrow morning for school."
I groaned and then blushed. "I'm so so so sorr-"
Carlisle smiled. "No need to apologize. I'm a vampire. You can trust me when I say it didn't hurt at all."
I blushed again.
"Sounds like Esme is finished with your dinner."
I stood up and jumped yet again when Carlisle appeared in front of me.
"Silly Bella, we're not going to have you walk everywhere." I was sitting on a kitchen stool with a delicious looking meal in front of me before he finished.
"Esme you really don't need to do all of this for me. I mean you don't even eat food and yet you're spending all this money on me and – "
I was interrupted with a fork full of pasta placed into my open mouth. I narrowed my eyes and reluctantly started to eat.
It is very disturbing when you eat with vampires in the room. They ALL have a very bad habit of staring at you in wonder and then at your food in disgust. If I didn't trust Emse so much I would be wondering what the heck she put in my food to make her look at it like that. It also helped to know that they found the smell and taste of human food repulsive.
Carlisle and Esme glanced at each other. I sighed again. Another conversation I wasn't included in. Did vampires not realize that it was rude to do that to people?
"Sweetie, we need to talk."
I froze. We definitely did not need to talk. If they found out that I contacted Jacob and was planning on leaving to see him . . . Well, I'd rather not think about it.
I placed my fork on my plate and then slid off my stool. I turned my back towards them and then gave a fake yawn. "I think I'm going to head up to bed. See you guys tomorrow morning."
I made it (while hobbling) about three feet before Esme appeared in front of me with a frown.
JEEZ! One of these days I'm going to have a heart attack.
"Emse! Don't do that! You scared me." I gasped.
She smiled, "I can tell. I just want to ask you one question and then you can go upstairs."
I blushed at the realization that she caught me in yet another lie. "Okay."
"Why were you leaving the house?"
"I wasn't." I tried to make my voice sound confused, perplexed. It didn't work.
How did she know I was trying to leave the house?
"You had your jacket and shoes on. Both of which you usually try to keep off as much as possible due to your intense dislike towards them."
I went to walk around her, but she stood in front of me. I tried the other side, same results. I've now come to the conclusion that all vampires are extremely pushy when they want something. Just look at Alice when it came to shopping.
Carlisle appeared beside her. "How about we compromise? Bella you tell us why you were leaving with no explanation and then you can go upstairs."
Worked for me. However it doesn't look like Esme is too thrilled about the idea.
"I was going to visit Jacob." With that I pushed through them and rushed up the stairs (tried to its rather difficult in a cast with no crutches to rush anywhere) tears falling from my eyes.
I just pushed Carlisle and Esme. Oh god, why don't I just build my own coffin from scratch?
Somehow I managed to make it up the stairs and on to mine and Edward's bed (in pyjamas) without tripping or stumbling or destroying something. Maybe somebody out there has decided that I've suffered enough.
The last thing I remember before falling into an uneasy sleep was inhaling Edward's scent from the blanket and having more tears fall at the thought of him being gone for another 6 days.
I was in the woods with Edward and Jacob. Both of them were just staring at me, looking at me as if I was the most repulsive thing in the world.
"I'm leaving Bella. We're not friends anymore" Jacob sneered.
"What? Jacob why?"
"We don't want you Bella. We've got more special and worthy women to spend our time with."
I gaped at Edward. How could he say that?
"I – I love you both!"
"I don't love you. Jacob doesn't love you."
I saw Tanya walk out from behind a tree, swaying her hips back and forth slowly. Edward stared at her a grinned. Running up to her he gave her a passionate kiss and then turned back towards me.
"Hopefully we'll never see each other again. Goodbye Swan."
"Edward no! Please!" I ran towards him. Jacob stopped me. "Move Jake please!"
He started to shake, violently. "Why Bells? He goes off with some other blood sucker and you still choose him. I helped you! I HEALED YOU!"
He phased.
"NO!" I screamed, fighting against whatever was holding me. I needed to get to Edward, and to find a way to get Jacob to calm down.
"Bella honey, calm down. You're alright. It was just a dream." A low soft voice kept repeating the words over and over.
A dream? It was only a dream? But it was so real, so terrifying.
A sob escaped my lips and tears flowed down my cheeks.
"You're safe sweetheart. It's alright." The gentle voice pulled my face away from its chest. It wasn't an it. It was Carlisle.
He gave me a small smile and then ran his thumbs over my cheeks, wiping away my tears. I stared at his golden eyes, enjoying the calming affect they brought me, along with the soft feeling of Carlisle's hands rubbing my arms, cheeks and back.
My heart started to slow. "I'm sorry."
"That's perfectly alright. Did you want to talk about it?"
I shook my head quickly. "I'm just going to go back to bed. Thank you." I whispered.
He smiled and then lowered me underneath the covers. "Goodnight Bella." He kissed my forehead and then left the room.
"Goodnight Carlisle, Esme."
Giving a small sigh I rolled over and then tightly closed my eyes, waiting for the sleep that I knew was never going to come. I needed Edward.
