Hey everyone I just wanted to say thank you to all of you guys who left comments on my first chapter. It is my first fan fiction. Just to let you guys know that the story will switch point of views between Bella and Edward. First chapter was all Bella and so is chapter 2. Here is Chapter 2 of Secrets from Her Past. Let me know what you think of this one as well…
Chapter 2: Unexpected Visitors
Bella's POV:
I was so in shock to see Shannon and Manny that I spit a combination of pizza and soda all over Rosalie. She growled and glared at me as she said, "You got food all in my hair Bella!" I looked at her shocked but can feel a little smirk coming on my face. It was nothing new that Rosalie didn't like me, so I was happy to get back in a way.
At that point I realized that she must have been thinking something bad of me because Edward let out a little growl of his own followed by a hiss. Rosalie rose from the table and rolled her eyes at me, as she immediately departed from our table. Emmett was running behind her trying to catch up.
Shannon finally spotted me and proceeded to walk toward our table. I was gently rubbing Edward's arm trying to calm him down and make him see that I had no idea about this unexpected visit. I said, "Edward please, look into my eyes and see that I am not lying. You know that I can't lie to save my life." Edward then said while stroking my hair, "Bella love, I know you are being truthful. I am just curious is all?" I looked at him with confusion in my face and turned toward Shannon and Manny.
Shannon was the playful, goofy, outspoken kind of girl and Manny was kind of quiet and mysterious. Both of them had red eyes as I noticed from a distance and I shook my head and said, "Some things never change." She started screaming my name very loudly as she half ran from the other side of the room.
Edward then leaned over and asked me, "What's wrong with them? Are they on something?" If he only knew how true his question was, but I shrugged my shoulders trying to act clueless. I thought to myself, "I thought they would have left this lifestyle alone by now, but I guess not. Shannon approached me with open arms as she kind of charged at me with a hug and I nearly fell right out of my chair until I felt cold arms around me. I turned to look and saw that of course that it was Edward and I smiled and said thanks to him. He whispered in my ear, "Anytime Miss Swan" and I couldn't help but blush at that statement.
Shannon then told me, "Sorry Bella, didn't mean to make you fall there. Good thing he caught you, and you are?" she said motioning her hand toward Edward. I said, "Oh, how rude of me, Shannon, Manny, this is my boyfriend Edward, his sister Alice, and his brother Jasper and vice versa." Everyone said there nice to meet you to each other, but everyone kept their hands to themselves.
All of a sudden Edward was at my ear again whispering in a tone so low, I knew no other human ears could hear him besides me, "I need to speak to you like right now. Alone." I looked at him with confused eyes and began to get up. I told Shannon and Manny to take our seats and that Edward and I would be right back.
Edward pulled me toward the windows of the lunch room, away from our table. "Edward, what's wrong?" I asked him. He began to speak, "Did you tell Shannon and Manny about my ability to read minds?" I quickly said, "No. Why would I do something stupid like that?" Edward said, "I am trying to read their minds to find out why they are here, but they are trying really hard not to think about something and believe me, its working." Hmm…that's weird I thought. I guess I better try and find out their purpose here. I began to walk back to the table when Edward caught my arm. He said to me, "I don't like this Bella. Something just doesn't feel right about this." At an attempt to calm him, I rubbed his face and said, "Don't worry Edward. I promise that I will find out everything." He didn't seem too convinced by my words, but began to walk with me towards the table as I pulled at his arm.
By the time we made it back to the table, I noticed that Shannon and Manny had eaten all of the food that was on my tray. "What the hell happen to my food? Shannon? Manny?" Neither one of them said anything at first, but then Manny said, "Yo we was hungry Bella. Starving should I say." "And that gave you the right to eat up my food," I said. Man was I pissed and was about to let loose on there asses until Shannon says to me, "Bella can I talk to you for a minute. Alone." "Sure," I said as we walked back to the lunch line, I stopped when I noticed that I couldn't find my wallet. I looked at Edward to find his hand stretched out toward me with money in it. I looked at him curiously because I knew that he had my wallet and he knows that I don't like accepting money from him. He smiled my favorite crooked smile and I couldn't help but smile back.
Shannon and I walked toward the lunch line again when she stopped me. She started to say, "Bells, I really need to talk to you about…" she glanced at Manny who was giving her the evil eye and she immediately stopped what she was saying. I said to her, "Shannon, why are you guys here? Here we are in the middle of the school year and you act as if schools out. Then you show up here without calling, high and a little drunk and I'm not suppose to think that something is up." Shannon got upset and said to me, "You always trying to play Miss Perfect. Thinking you all that and better than everybody because you are here in Washington. Don't forget I know the person you were back in Phoenix. You and I are not that different from each other." I felt my face fill with red, but this time I was not blushing. This was pure anger and I had to unleash it quick. Jasper must have felt it too because I felt myself calming down slowly, but surely. Uhg I was so pissed but yet I wasn't. I was so annoyed when Jasper did this, but I understood this wasn't the time or place for this.
I then asked Shannon, "So what are you guys going to do because we have to ready and go to our next class. Shannon said she would wait with us and I said maybe it would best for them to go to my house. Edward agreed and I gave them the keys to my truck. Edward quickly drew them a map to get to my house and I just hope and pray that they be able to find their way. The bell rang and it was time for Biology. Before we walked off to class, I ran up to Shannon and gave her my cell phone and told her that if she needs anything or run into any problems, to just call Edward's phone. She nodded at me and I ran back to Edward where his hand was waiting for mine and we half ran to our Biology class.
We managed to slip in the class unnoticed as Mr. Varner was setting up the TV and VCR for us to watch a movie. I sighed because I knew Edward would use this as the perfect opportunity to question me about the conversation between Shannon and I at lunch. Before I knew it the lights were off and Edward had slid his chair closer to mine. Finally I said in a whisper, "Go ahead and get it out Edward. I know you got something you want to say." He spoke in his velvety voice, "Here I thought I knew everything about you Miss Swan and now I find out that you are keeping secrets from me. What is going on?"
I turned away from him and said, "Edward, nothing I care to discuss with you. EVER." I tried to quickly glance in his direction, but was mesmerized by how close he was to me. His breath showering me with his scent, his eyes staring deeply into mine and to top it off, his finger tracing my lips. When he pleaded with me like this, it was no use trying to fight it. Staring deeply into my eyes he said, "Now Bella, you know I don't like for you to keep secrets from me and you know how this is going to end, so what don't you just spit it out already." I thought to myself, I surrender, whatever you want to know, I will tell you. I hate that he has this power over me. I was about to truly give him my past life story when I heard the vibration of the phone in his pocket. I said to myself, "Yes. Saved by the ringing phone." Edward realized what was going on and I could see that he was annoyed by it. I asked him who was it calling and he said,
"Apparently it is you calling or should I say "your friends"." He handed me his phone and I began to speak, "Hello, Shannon? What do you want? We are still in class!" She said, "Umm…We sort of got loss and don't know where we are." "How did you do that?" I asked angrily. Shannon said it's a long story and I stopped her to tell her I don't have time to listen. I asked Shannon to tell me the name of a business by her. She gave me the name of Newtons' Olympic Outfitters store and Edward and I knew immediately where they were. I then said, "Okay, I know exactly where you are. Just stay there and Edward will be there in a minute." I looked over to see Edward's eyebrows raised up. Edward then said, "Excuse me?" I put the phone to my chest and told Edward he was going to meet them.
"Edward, with the way you drive, you will be there and back before class ends and you know it." I said knowing there was more to why I was sending him away in the first place. Edward sighed and said, "Bella, you think you are so slick, don't you? Like I don't know what you are trying to do. You just want me to go meet your friends so that I won't question you anymore." I said sarcastically, "You must be some kind of mind reader because you took the words right out of my mouth." Edward stood there for a minute shaking his head back and forth.
Then I told him, "Now go before it's too late and our class be over Edward." I looked up at him and he had this smirk on his face and before I could respond he pressed his lips against mind hard and fast. The kiss was beginning to be too much for me, my heart beating faster; I started to feel a little faint from the lack of oxygen that I was receiving. He removed his lips from mine and before I knew it, I turned around and was gasping for much needed air.
I turned back around to look at Edward only to notice that he was gone already. I sat in the dark room saying to myself as I put my right hand over my heart gasping still, "And I thought I was bad…"
