Difficulties
Edward Cullen
Of all things to do when I'm down is going to summer school with Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett. Alice kept quiet in the Volvo while I was driving around 120 mph to school. I sighed in frustration. It wasn't her fault I lost Bella. It was my fault for not following her. Even though La Push was part of the reservation, I would've broken any rule in the treaty, just to be with her.
Come to think of it, I wondered what happened to Charlie. I gripped my hands tighter around the steering wheel. Stupid unknown vampires just had to go ruin Bella's time with Charlie. There's no one to be waiting for at school, at least, for a while. I hope Bella's absence is only temporary. Mike and Jessica were boring stares into my back as I walked alone.
Where's Bella? Isn't she with Edward?
What the hell did Edward do? Bella's always...always with him.
Edward does look a little gloomy today. Is she sick?
Stupid little whore deserves to be absent. At least I won't run into her today.
The last comment came from none other than Lauren, who was currently clinging to Tyler at the moment. I growled until Alice came up next to me and gripped my arm, tight. I looked down at her and saw her scolding me with her eyes.
Don't take your problems out on the students here. It's not worth it.
I only nodded and walked off to my first class, not saying a word to anyone, like always until I met Bella. The lecture just went through one ear and out the other as I continued to stare outside the window.
Where could Bella be?
Carlisle told me that he would call as many hospitals as he can. I prayed that he would eventually find one. At lunch, Emmett and Rosalie just stared at Alice, Emmett hoping for some news to arrive. Jasper gripped Alice's hand, trying to soothe her as much as he could. I just looked at the lemonade bottle in front of me. I felt so pathetic. It's only been one day since I've heard Bella's news and all I'm doing is sulking over it and not doing anything.
I heard someone clear their throat to capture our attention. I turned and glared to see Mike and Jessica stand over us, thinking they were superior. I clenched my fist under the table.
Whoa. Cullen looks seriously pissed. Actually, all of them are.
What the hell? We didn't do anything yet and they already think we're doing something wrong? How much could they possible love her?
I just wanted to snap her head off and throw her remains in the sewer. Instead, I sat up straight and placed an arm on the table, trying to look as casual as I can.
"What do you want, Newton?" I asked carelessly. His eyes narrowed and I concealed a smirk of victory. Jessica nudged Mike to continue what he was supposed to do.
"Where's Bella? How come she isn't with you like she is all the time? Did you just decide to give her the ditch and left her at her house depressed?" Mike asked, his voice rising by the second. By the time he finished the last question, the whole lunch room went silent, expecting my answer.
Tell him that Bella went on vacation with Charlie. Let's get out of here, Edward.
That thought came from Jasper. He was in a hurry to leave, motioning to Alice. My eyes sparked with curiosity and turned to Newton with fire in my eyes.
"Bella went on a vacation with Charlie, okay? Besides, why should you care? You have her after all," I said, motioning to Jessica next to him. He stood dumbfounded and I left with my family out of the cafeteria. Anyways, I didn't want to hear everyone's thoughts about Bella all at once. I don't think I could suppress it. I slammed the door when I got inside the driver's side and waited for Jasper to put Alice in the backseat and slide in. Once the two were strapped, I sped out of Forks High and towards home.
"Alice, what is it? I couldn't see it from your mind thanks to Newton," I said, watching her eyes. Her eyes snapped from the daze and looked at me.
"Let me call Carlisle first when we go home, okay?" she suggested. Jasper flickered his eyes at me.
Just agree. She's been through enough and doesn't need you to argue with her.
"All right," I said, glancing at Jasper. He gave a small smile in gratitude and hugged Alice. She rested her head on his shoulder. I sighed softly, and my thoughts went back to Bella.
What is she doing right now?
I parked in the driveway and Alice sped off with Jasper on her heels. Rosalie pulled up next to me and got out with Emmett. Emmett caught sight of Alice rushing into the house and looked confused.
"Why's Alice in such a rush today? Did something happen?" Emmett asked. Rosalie looked at me for an answer. I didn't answer for a moment and Rosalie glared at me.
"Are you going to tell us or not? Some of us aren't patient here," she hissed. I glared at her back, until Emmett sent me a warning glance not to start a fight. I growled at him and turned back to Rosalie.
"Alice had a vision, but she won't tell me until she talks to Carlisle. Got it?" I said and walked fast to my room, slamming the door and turning on Claire de Lune. I sighed and slumped onto the floor. I remembered when I found out Bella liked Claire de Lune. The blood typing day, I could still remember her expression when Newton was helping her to the nurse's office. I smirked at the thought of pissing him off. Bella got better, and I laughed when I imagined her annoyed face when I forced her into my car.
The thought only made me miss her more. Where are you, Bella?
