Chapter 4: So Close, Yet So Far

Bella's POV

I stood at the door of the gym room still in a daze from the way Edward just kissed me. All of a sudden, I felt tugging at my arm and I looked up to see that it was just Mike.

"Come on Bella, let's go! We are going to be late", Mike said.

I nodded my head, but had a hard time moving my legs from where Edward had left me. Into the locker room I went and put on my gym clothes.

I walked through the doors of the gym, when of course I tripped, but managed to catch myself before I fell on my face.

People looked at me and then turned away because they were probably already use to seeing me trip over nothing anyway.

Gym class seemed to past by pretty quick and when I was leaving out of the door;

Mike Newton grabbed my arm and said, "Hey Bella, I was wondering if you weren't doing anything, if you wanted to go out with me tonight?"

I looked at Mike through narrowed eyes and said,

"Are you serious, Mike? You're that delusional!"

Mike then said, "What? I just thought it would be cool if you and I hung out together, just the two of us."

I sighed and said, "Look, I don't know what's going on between you and Jessica, but I know you are very aware of Edward and I being together. How do you think it's fair to him if I agree to go out with you? For the last time Mike, I DON'T LIKE YOU!"

I rolled my eyes and walked away mad as hell, leaving Mike standing there with his mouth wide open.

I walked out into the hallway stumping my feet as I ran right into Edward. I walked into him so hard that I was knocked to the ground. Man it was like hitting a brick wall.

I mumbled to myself, mouthing cursing words while attempting to push myself off the floor. I took Edward's hand unwillingly because when I looked at his face, he looked as if he was fighting back a laugh.

All of a sudden, Edward let out this huge laugh that had everyone staring at us. I snatched away from him and proceeded toward his car when I felt his cold arms around my waist pulling me closer to him.

"Are you alright?" he whispered to me.

I said to him, "My butt is okay, but I think my pride is what's hurt."

He smiled and said, "And why is that love?"

"It doesn't help to have your boyfriend laugh at you when you fall flat on your ass", I said.

Edward looked at me puzzled when he said,

"Ohh, you thought I was laughing because you fell? Bella love, I was laughing at how you just treated Mike Newton. See of course I was watching the whole thing through his thoughts and I was about ready to go and snap his neck until I saw how you snapped on him and thought that there was no need."

Then I said, "Well I just hope he got the picture this time."

"Only time will tell or should I say Alice" he said.

Edward gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and led me to the passenger side of the car. Before I even had my seat belt on, he was starting the car up.

As we drove down the street towards my house, there was an awkward silence in the car. I sat there staring out of the window thinking about if I should tell Edward or not.

I didn't even notice the shaking of my hands until Edward broke the silence saying, "Bella love, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing much", I attempted to lie, but he saw right through it.

"So this is what it's come to, huh Bella? Hiding secrets and lying right to my face. This is really one of those times I wish I could read your mind", he said to me.

"Oh Edward I…I… I just can't", I said to him as he pulled into the driveway of my house.

Traitor tears ran slowly down my face and I hopped out of the car with the quickness and tried to run up to the front door when Edward caught my waist before I made it up the stairs.

He stared deeply into my eyes as if he were studying them, and looking for something when all of a sudden he went stiff in my arms.

I begin to say, "Edward, what's wr-", and Edward cut me off with his finger to my lips saying in a whisper,

"Shh! Go in the house with Shannon and Manny and wait for me. I have to check something out."

"But Edward", I tried to object and Edward said,

"Please Bella, do as I say. I will be right back."

With that being said, I went into the house as Edward had instructed to find Manny in the window and Shannon on the couch with her hands trembling.

Edward's POV (Takes place from in the car)

I looked at Bella with confusion as she stuttered telling me she just can't as tears started to run down her face. Man, I hate seeing Bella cry.

I pulled the car to a stop in front of Bella's house and she jumped out of the car to run in the house, but I caught her by the waist.

I was so busy looking into her eyes when Manny's thoughts finally occurred to me,

"Impossible! This is crazy. I can't believe he would follow us down here. Wait, wait, wait. Just calm down because we don't know if it was him in that car."

At that moment, I realized that someone must be following Shannon and Manny. Their secrets are starting to reveal themselves.

I tensed up my thoughts and Bella noticed because she said,

"Edward, what's wr-", but I cut her off by laying my finger to her lips. I then whispered to her,

"Shh! Go in the house with Shannon and Manny and wait for me. I have to check something out."

"But Edward", Bella tried to protest, but I stopped her and insisted she goes in the house.

Bella immediately went into the house and I quickly ran a check outside the house to see if anything was unusual. After I came up empty, I decided to run to my house quickly and talk to Alice. I was at my house and through the door in no time as I called for Alice in a low voice.

Alice appeared at in front of me and said,

"What's up Edward?" I said to her,

"Hey Alice, have you seen anything new in your visions?"

She said, "Not really".

"What do you mean not really? Either you did or you didn't," I practically yelled at her.

"Calm down Edward. I still see little bits and pieces, but one thing is always the same. I keep seeing a black car. A Monte Carlo to be exact, with tinted windows. That's the only thing I can make out of the visions", Alice said.

"I am sorry Alice, you know how I get when it comes down to Bella", I apologized.

Alice said, "Yeah we all know, but I don't like what I am not seeing."

"Alright Alice. Still keep a lookout for me. I am going back to Bella's house", I said.

Alice nodded her head and I ran out the door and was back at Bella's house within minutes. I walked in the door and Bella had a comforting arm around Shannon.

"I have to tell her", Shannon was repeating in her head. I couldn't take it anymore because the suspense was killing me.

I finally said to Shannon and Manny, "Why are you here? I know there is something you are not telling us."

Manny spoke now saying, "Edward, what's your problem? You seem to be coming at our heads since we got here and its really starting to work my nerves now",

Manny was saying as he started walking towards me. I can see in his mind how anger he is and that he was thinking of using force. I had to work hard to keep myself from laugh when I said,

"Trust me, you don't want to do anything stupid."

Manny then said, "Oh I think I do. As a matter of fact, I know I do."

With that, Manny was getting closer and closer when suddenly Bella and Shannon were between us. Bella had her hands on my chest as she said,

"You. Me. Upstairs. NOW!"

A low growl ripped from my chest as I turned and let Bella pull me up the stairs into her room. I sat on her bed looking at her as she paced the floor back and forth.

She finally looked at me with a look of disappointment when she said,

"What the hell was that about Edward? Do you mind telling me what just happened down there?"

I was shocked at her words. I can't believe she expects me to tell her what's going on, when she doesn't want tell me anything.

"Bella love, you don't expect me to tell you the reason behind my actions when you haven't told me nothing," I said with my arms crossed.

Bella let out a deep sigh and came to sit next to me on the bed. She then looked at me in the eyes and said,

"Alright Edward, here it goes."
