Chapter six: I waited eight long months
The look of Tanya as she sauntered off was mesmerizing to men, but to us women, well, it was sickening.
I looked at her in disgust, trying to forget what I had just heard.
She and James were teamed up to get my blood.
What was so precious about me? I was nothing special, unless of course, you were talking to Edward.
"Edward," I said, turning carefully towards him.
"Yes love?" he asked his voice like soft velvet.
"Do you believe in vampires?" I asked.
He looked taken a-back by my question, smiled and said, "Of course,"
"What proof do you base that off of?" I asked.
"Tanya, she is a vampire, you remember James, the way his skin sparkled... he drank blood Bella. Tanya is a vampire, just like James," he said. "Not the type we would expect though."
As I was about to question that, the bell rang, so I ran out with the others.
"What does he mean 'not the type we would expect though,'?" I thought to myself.
I ran into the gym and into the locker room quickly, getting changed before anyone else walked in.
This was one of the few classes I didn't have with Edward. That was sad though.
"Did you hear what happened to Tanya?" asked Lauren when she entered the change room.
"Oh-M-gee, yes; that is awful who would wanna fuck that?" asked Jessica.
"Apparently every guy in school," she looked at me. "Except of course that jack ass Edward Cullen, sure, his penny bronze hair is nice but his eyes are like moss. Who would ever like him? He was the one that got Tanya to do glass and then was in the threesome," that's all I could take.
"Shut the hell up Lauren," I hissed. She looked taken back.
"What the hell is your problem Swannie?" she asked.
"What's yours? Seriously, you are such a two faced little bitch," I said.
"Where the hell do you think you are? Learn your place," she screamed.
"My name is Bella Swan; my place is right next to Edward. Why don't you back off and go to hell," I screamed, on the verge of tears.
"Go fuck yourself," she screamed as I stormed out of the change room and hid behind the bleachers until Angela got here. I let myself cry for once, for once, in a long time.
It felt like eight whole months had passed before I heard Angela shuffle next to me and sit down.
"Lauren needs help," I whispered.
"Lauren needs to be put in a straight jacket; she was doing a toke in the change room before gym. She is still in there," Angela whined.
I laughed and said, "We should tell coach Clapp."
She seemed to like the idea because she jumped up pretty fast and ran to the gymnasium.
"Coach Clapp, I need to show you something," she screamed. Coach Clapp walked with her into the girls room, female screams were heard and then Lauren's tears.
"I didn't mean to," she sobbed as they walked out. "Bella made me do it."
Coach Clapp shook his head.
"Bella Swan would never do that," he said doubtfully.
"But she did!" screeched Lauren.
"She was under the bleachers about 2 minutes after you walked in, Lauren, take the blame at some point cause I'm even getting sick of the crap you dish out,"
Lauren's mouth hung open.
I snickered quietly to myself as she walked towards the office.
"That was mean," I said to Angela as she sat down next to me. "Funny, but mean,"
"What can I say," she shrugged.
"I like this new demonic Angela," I said. We laughed and walked into the gymnasium.

When gym was done, and when I walked out, Alice stood there, clinging to Jasper yet again, Rosalie was in Emmett's arms against the wall; they kissed in unison, and Edward stood waiting for me.
"Bella," he smiled as I walked out. I smiled back, but noticed Tanya walk by and turned around quickly.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"Nothing," I lied.
"Is this about Tanya being a vampire?" he asked. I nodded.

That night, I got a call from my Mom. She wanted me to come home for a while. She said she was worried. I packed my stuff, grabbed my passport and then left, hugging Charlie quickly on my way out the door.
Edward was by my truck when I walked out.
"Where you headed?" he asked, gesturing to the suitcase in my hand.
"Back to Arizona for a while," I said.
"Why?" he asked, circling me like prey.
"My Mom wants to see me," I said.
"I'm coming," he said.
"What!?" I nearly screamed.
"If James, Tanya or Victoria are there, you are beyond dead, now get in the truck," he said. I nodded and climbed in.
I looked into the rear view mirror and noticed the old dream catcher hanging there.
"Jacob," I whispered.
"What?" asked Edward.
"I have to return this, I borrowed it a while ago," I said, holding the dream catcher in my hand.
"Why did you borrow it?" asked Edward, as I started to drive towards La Push.
"I was having nightmares after I went out with James, Jacob lent it to me to stop them," I said. "I put it in the car 'cause Billy told me to."

When we pulled up outside the little shack that is Jacobs's house, I grabbed the dream catcher and ran inside.
Edward wasn't allowed here, so he ducked down.
I threw it onto the coffee table and screamed, "Thanks for the dream catcher Jake, it really helped. See you when I get back from Jacksonville."
Just then, there was a knock at the door. I opened it, since I was headed there anyway.
A girl with long dark hair and russet skin stood there, twiddling her thumbs.
"Hey Leah," I said.
"Swan," she mumbled.
"Looking for Billy?" I asked.
"No, Jake," she said. "I'm helping him with his algebra," I smiled.
"He sucks at that kinda stuff, lucky he has you," I said.
"I'll get him," I said softly before turning to the stairs.
"JACOB BLACK GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE AND COME SEE LEAH!" I screamed. There was a loud thump and then the sound of feet thudding against the steps.
"Hey Leah," said Jake, going to lean against the wall, he missed and landed face first on the ground.
Leah laughed as I ran to help him up.
"Thanks Bells," he said thoughtfully.
I shook my head and said, "Some day, you are gonna be a bigger klutz then me."
Leah kept giggling as I stepped out.
"Do you really like Swan?" I heard Leah ask.
"Yeah, she is..." there was a pause in Jacob's voice. "Just... wow."
"What if..." she stopped for a second, and I kept listening on the other side of the door. "I liked you."
I nearly started to jump and down with joy.
"Then I would do this," there was a pause and then gasps for breath.
I thrust open the door.
"JACOB BLACK, YOU ARE SO FUCKING BLIND! YOU JUST REALISED THAT LEAH LIKES YOU!?" I screamed.
Jacob just blinked and said, "Yeah."
I groaned and ran to the truck.
Edward popped up when I slammed the door, rust falling onto the ground.
"Jake still an idiot?" he asked.
"Only the biggest," I replied.
Then, we drove toward the airport.
