A/N - Please, please, please REVIEW !! I really would like to know what people think, and come on people it only takes a couple of seconds. So kudos to the seven of you who took the time to review, and shame on the 457 who were to busy !! Yes, I am serious !! Once again, PLEASE !! ( Even just to tell me you like it or it sucks ).
Disclaimer - No, I do not own the Twilight, sob, Thanks for reminding me !
"Are you two sure you can handle it ?" I muttered, too fast and low for the humans passing us to hear. The males were already gawping at us. "Of course," they whispered impatiently in unison and followed me into the office
It was hard, on entering that building I felt like I was suffocating, the familiar surroundings were bringing back memories, painful memories I didn't want to remember - my first day at Forks High School, dear old Mrs. Cope ( long dead now ) and Him standing at that desk attempting, in vain, to switch biology classes……
"Bella, come on" whispered Jen , "you're blocking the door and its raining." I realised I was still standing in threshold of the office and Jen and Lucy were getting soaked. "Sorry," I muttered, pulling myself together and out of my memories.
I walked up slowly to the current receptionists desk, she looked up and seemed dazed for a moment, our appearances always do that to people. "Hello," I smiled, I had always found dazzling people fun but I needed her to focus now so I could get out of here. The room was becoming more stuffy and confining by the second.
"I'm Isabella Flynn and these are Lucy and Jennifer Flynn, we're new here," I introduced us.
We had chosen to take Ciara's surname this time, we knew it meant a lot to her, it made her feel like our "real mother," officially, as she put it. We all truthfully assured her that we already thought of her as that but we chose to take her name anyway, it made her happy, we all want to make her as happy as possible, we know that the loss of her husband, Jonathon, had been a hard blow for her, she is the kindest, most understanding person you could wish for as a mother. But as good a mother as she is, she loved her husband and still mourns his loss, when Jen and Lucy had gone out one day, I was supposed to be hunting but returned early, I found her on the couch coughing out dry, tearless sobs. It was the only time I have ever seen her loose control and it was then I told her the full story about Edward. We had always got along well, we loved each other almost immediately, as soon as we formed our coven of two, but when we found that we had both lost our "soul mates," - as she put it - we became closer than ever. I would do anything to make her happy.
"Oh, erm, yes welcome. I'm Mrs. Henry," the receptionist recovered herself, "here are your schedules, and you get these slips signed by your teachers at the end of each class…….." She continued on that path for about 20 minutes before splitting the thick sheaf of papers in three and handing them to us, wishing us a good day. I thanked her and gratefully walked outside, it was raining lightly, the droplets splattering on my dark blue jacket before seeping into the fabric and staining it a darker blue. Lucy had bought me that jacket on her last shopping trip, even I have to admit having a shop-a-holic for a sister has its perks, for example, I always look pretty good. At the moment I am wearing a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, blue ballet flats, a silky blue baby doll top and my hair is in a sloppy ponytail ( the only part of my appearance that I had control over ).
Lucy grabbed my hand and walked me up to building six, where I would have - I fumbled for my schedule - biology next. Oh great ! The gods must be conspiring against me, but at least I would get the worst class over with. Some consolation, I don't know how I'm gonna get through this class without breaking down. Lucy wished me luck and ran off to meet Jen who had gone ahead to find the building they would have World Civics in.
Neither Jen or Lucy had biology with me, I was posing as a senior, Jen and Lucy were starting as juniors, it would allow me to leave when graduation finished and my time in Forks would be over, hopefully I would be able to stop dwelling on Him by then, it also gave Jen and Lucy a reason not to have to take finals, even after 85 years they didn't like to study, whereas I spent most of my existence poring over one textbook or another.
I opened the door and walked in.
As I entered a hush fell over the classroom of teenagers. I walked quickly to the teachers desk and handed him my slip. he teacher stared at me for a moment before telling me to take a seat, he deliberated " Miss Flynn, you can take a seat next to Miss Cullen over there." My eyes widened, I scanned the room hoping, praying that it wasn't one of …..Them.
But it was.
As my eyes fell on the empty seat, they also fell on the neighbouring seats occupant. I felt my feet move of their own accord and I slid into the seat next to Her. "Bella ?" she whispered, her voice too low for the humans to hear, "Hi, Rosalie," I murmured quietly.
She spent the rest of the class staring at me in shock.
This pain was unbelievable, the waves of pain hit me quickly, leaving no time for relief and pulling me under. The patched together hole in my chest opened again with a vengeance, I almost cried out but then remembered in time who was sitting next to me so I remained stubbornly silent.
When the class ended, I got up at an almost inhuman speed and exited the room before any students had even gotten up from their desks. I ran to my car at human speed, I soon shut myself in and leaned my head against the steering wheel gasping for air. The hole had opened wide and fully, and I couldn't gain control of it. I was helpless as tearless sobs wracked my body. I don't know how long I sat there, with my head against the steering wheel trying to breathe as my sobs quietened. When I thought I could talk without breaking down again, I called Jen, it was the lunch hour and students were beginning to come out of the buildings and some were milling towards their cars, I quickly asked her to run home after school, that I was taking the car as I had to talk to Ciara. She promised to tell the receptionist that I was sick and to tell Lucy that they'd have to run home.
I snapped the phone shut and turned on the engine. I was home within minutes. I parked the car and ran inside calling for Ciara, "Mom, I have to talk to you, can you come here for a minute," I was taking deep breaths to calm myself, not that it was doing much good, there was something funny, the air smelt strange.
I walked slowly into the large living room, trying to compose myself, when I saw Carlisle. Alice and Jasper Cullen sitting beside my mother.
