Title: Who is this?
Chapter 2: Suspended
Monday came and my family was getting worried for me. I had eaten more than anyone else and yet my eyes still seemed dark in color. They refused to let me see Bella Sunday night in fear that I would hurt her. Alice went over to explain to her why I wasn't going to be there.
This was getting ridiculous, I was fine.
"Edward, why don't you stay home from school? You can go hunt some deer around here." Esme said. She didn't like when we pushed ourselves, I am sure it has a lot to do from when she was a school teacher and decided that she could go one more day without hunting. Lets just say we had to move that day.
"Esme, I'm fine. I feel so engorged right now that I couldn't possibly think of eating a human." It was true, I couldn't stop at just one animal. I had gone through quite a few, well more than the usual amount. Not to mention that the family started making me eat more close to the end because my eyes weren't changing color.
I looked into the mirror, they were so dark.
"Don't worry about him, I already saw today and nothing happens at all." Alice said coming up behind me with her book bag on. "Now let's go! I can't wait to see Bella again! I am writing my name on her cast! I even have the best quote to write on it!" Alice pranced outside, followed by Emmett and Jasper.
The cast- a trophy for Bella to prove why she shouldn't hang around us. It turned out her wrist was broken worse than Carlisle had first thought. I was starting to suspect that he knew from the beginning that she had a broken wrist but said it was just sprained so that I would go back to hunting.
Esme sighed looking at the clock, "Rosalie don't make them late."
Rosalie came down the stairs looking angry. She was making sure her hair was 'perfect.'
"I was coming." She sighed, grabbing her bag at the bottom of the stairs.
"Come on sis." I said trying to antagonize her. "You don't want to be late for school."
She was about to speak when Esme started tapping her foot, "Get to school now." She said. We were already five minutes late.
"Come on no need to be late. Perfection waits for no one." I said to Rosalie grabbing my keys.
'Go jump off a cliff.' Rosalie thought as I walked out behind her closing the door.
"It wouldn't hurt me at all." I said earning a smack from Rosalie.
We walked toward my Volvo, seeing Emmett and Jasper fight for the front seat. "It's Jasper's turn this time." I said to them, answering their thoughts.
"I win!" Jasper said opening the door and sliding in.
I shook my head as everyone else piled in, we were off. I had to go faster than normal. Sure enough, I got there right on time. Bella was leaning against her truck as we came up. She smiled coming toward us.
Rosalie got out of the car, slamming it shut on Emmett. Emmett opened it up without any mention of it, not wanting to antagonize Rosalie. She walked by Bella without a hello. Emmett followed right behind, "Hope you are feeling better today!" he said before following her into the school.
Alice ran up to Bella, "Can I write on your cast?" she asked excitedly.
"Sure, how about during third period? We are going to be late for school." Bella said, the bell was about to ring.
"Alright, but I want to be the first!" Alice said to her.
Bella laughed, showing her the cast, "Charlie beat you to it this morning."
"Fine, I will let it slip because he is your father. Edward, don't even think of signing it before I do!" She walked off.
Jasper followed her, "Bye Bella." Bella waved to him, they never talked much.
"Come on, let's go to class." I put an arm around her shoulder. "How was Alice when she stayed at your house last night?"
"Alright, she kept wanting to talk and then she started to complain that I never wore the night gown she got me."
"I will have a talk with her." I joked.
Bella smiled, "So you are feeling better? Alice said they were worried about you."
"I'm fine." I really was, I didn't have one want to attack Bella right now.
"So I will see you in fourth period?" Bella asked me as we had to separate to go into different classes.
"You can bet on that." I kissed her forehead as we separated. I had to admit the smell all around me once inside was alluring today, more than normal. I shook it off.
The first two periods went by easily. Then third period came around.
It was now time for gym.
Emmett, Jasper and I had the same gym class. We tried to always make sure all the males had the same gym class and all females had the same class. However Emmett and Rosalie, and Jasper and Alice could never have the same class together. We learned our lesson when Alice accidentally got hit with a volley ball and Jasper practically gave us away and almost killed the kid that did it.
After that, we had it where males and females were in separate gym classes. Gym was the hardest of all the subjects for us. Not because of the physical workout but because it was a place where we had to hold back our strength, look like we were getting tired and on top of all this, we had to hold back the want to kill others that were sweating and had their heart racing.
The rain hadn't stopped pouring which meant that we were inside for the day, unlike the drizzling days when we are outside. This was the hardest. Tons of humans in a small enclosed area and to top it off, today was the practice for that stupid one mile run.
If only they knew how fast I could run a mile.
"You up for it?" Emmett asked. "I'm going in for second place." He said.
We never allowed ourselves to all get the best so we would always change it up and decide ahead of time who will get what.
"Fourth!" Jasper announced. He always liked fourth, right out of the top three but still beating out the rest.
"I will get seventh." I told him.
"You pansy. Seventh is so far back." Emmett said. "My Rose will probably do better than that."
I chuckled, "We will have a race when we get home." I told him as I pushed him to the side.
The gym teacher then got everyone's attention, "Alright everyone, you must complete the mile in nine minutes in order to pass. So today is practice." Emmett was ready, him and a jock were always going for the top spot. Emmett loved to play with the jock and make him think he was going to win and then come up behind him and take the spot.
I stood farther in the back. Jasper was with me, he would speed up later.
"Time starts…now." The gym coach said as we all took off. Jasper and I ran side by side at the beginning.
'Too easy.' Jasper thought to me.
"Tell me about it." I whispered.
'See you at the finish line?'
I nodded.
He sped up to get to his spot.
I chuckled as I kept my pace, I was behind two girls and five guys, including Jasper and Emmett. The girl in front of me tripped and for a split second I was about to jump at her but stopped myself in time, I shook my head.
That was so weird.
I forced myself to breath normally as I passed the girl. Jasper must have noticed my spike in emotions because he turned around to look at me. 'Everything okay?' He thought.
I nodded my head.
I was passing the coach, "Come on Cullen, you aren't breaking a sweat." The coach said to me. He was also the track coach and would constantly try to get us three on the team. It was mainly Emmett though because Emmett always got in the top three of anything he did while Jasper and I would trade spots.
I realized that I hadn't been forcing myself to look like I was breathing heavily. I started to do it and then the smell of the humans all around me hit me and I had to force myself to breath normally again. I had to shake my head again; this was really getting to me.
Jasper looked back at me again, 'Seriously man, go take a break.' He thought to me.
I nodded, I stopped over at the coach, "May I go get a drink of water?" I asked him.
"Sure Cullen but be quick." The coach said pointing to the hall.
I walked out to the hall and stood there, trying to clear my head. The coach peered through the doors meaning I had to pretend like I was actually going to get water. I went over to the water fountain and bent down. Pretending to drink from the fountain. I grabbed some water in my hand, and placed it on my face to make it look like I was sweating. I still stood out in the hall for sometime.
The coach came out into the hall, "Cullen, no playing out here. Get back in there if you are fine."
"Of course." I said to him, going back into the gym. The smell hit me immediately.
Jasper was watching me, Emmett never even noticed. He was too busy playing with the jock.
'You sure you're okay?' Jasper was staring at me as he allowed a kid to pass him.
I nodded as I started to run again. I had to force myself to swallow as venom was starting to flow into my mouth. I looked around at everyone then tried to clear my head. What was going on? I had been in plenty of gym classes and had never been this distracted before.
Jasper slowed down and started jogging next to me. "Tell the coach you have asthma, I'm not liking the emotions you are putting off right now. He already thinks I have asthma so he will believe it if you say you do. Asthma is, after all, an environmental problem not a heritable one."
"I am fine." I said.
"Seriously, do it for your family." Jasper said.
"I told you I am fine." I growled out.
The boy's shoelace in front of me was loose as it dangled around his feet. The kid seemed hesitant to stop and tie it, making him lose his spot, or keep going. I watched as he kept running with it like that. I could count each bead of sweat running down his neck. A growl started to form in my throat.
Everything happened at once after that.
I could hear Alice from somewhere in the school yell, "No!"
I started to lunge toward the unsuspecting boy when Jasper grabbed my arm and pulled me into a three sixty, making me hit into the wall. The wall started to crumble from my impact. I growled even louder, now angry at this vampire for taking me away from my prey.
"Cullen, Hale what are you two doing?" A human yelled.
I growled, about to attack the human when the vampire that had grabbed me to begin with knocked me back into the wall. I stumbled for a bit, then a bigger vampire came at me. He quickly grabbed me back from attacking the vampire that attacked me. "Let go." I growled.
"Dude calm down." The big one said to me.
All of the humans around the gym were now circling us yelling "Fight, fight, fight." Repeatedly.
I kept trying to attack the vampire that had taken me away from my prey.
A larger human came over looking angry, "Cullen, Hale to the principle's office."
"Which Cullen?" The bulky one holding me asked.
He looked angry as I tried to attack him, "Both." He yelled. He looked right at me then the other vampire that had attacked me, "You two should know better than to fight in school. You will be lucky if they don't expel you because I am going to try as hard as possible to get you guys expelled." He turned to the bulky one, "You seem to be able to keep your brothers at bay, should I have another student go with you just in case?"
"No sir that won't be necessary."
The bulky one dragged me out into the hall followed by the other looking ashamed. I tried to attack the man one more time as we passed by, but to no avail.
"We are in so much trouble now." The bulky one said. Once the humans were out of sight, he pushed me into the wall, closing the airway to my lungs. I couldn't smell anything. I tried to push him away but he kept a rough grip on me. "Jasper, what made him flip?" he asked as I glared at them.
"I don't know. I noticed him having trouble to begin with. He almost lunged at a girl that tripped but he regained himself. I told him to take a break but he insisted that he was fine." The other said.
Finally my head was clearing up, Alice was coming down the hall. She had Bella stand at the end of the hall and wait for the okay for her to join us.
"Edward?" Alice said.
"I don't know what got into him. Jasper kept him from killing a human. One second delay and it would have been us trying to get rid of tons of evidence." Emmett said.
"I'm fine now." I was able to let out as Emmett dropped me from his grasp.
Alice shook her head, "Edward, it's normally Jasper we have to worry about but I am starting to wonder." She walked off, having Bella come with her. They both must have had to excuse themselves. Bella looked over at me sympathetically as Alice told her what happened then the two walked toward their class.
"Come on." Jasper said. "Let's go find out how long we are suspended for this one."
Emmett laughed, "If you're lucky, maybe they will expel you guys!"
"What about you?" I asked.
"They won't expel me. I stopped the fight. Plus I'm too cute." He said wrapping an arm around me.
He had a point, the female principle had a crush on Emmett as soon as she put her eyes on him.
Carlisle came into the office looking down at the three of us sitting in the office chair. 'There better be a good reason for this.'
I looked away knowing that I, as his eldest, should have had the best self control.
The principle walked into the back room as she told him what the gym coach had told her. Carlisle was able to put everything together alone. They were negotiating what to do.
Carlisle came back out; I looked away knowing that he wasn't pleased with me. The principle came out behind him; she looked at the three of us. "Emmett, go back to class." He nodded, I hand him my car keys, and then he left quickly. None of us wanted to face Carlisle's wrath.
"I have talked to your principle." Carlisle started. "Jasper, you will be suspended for the rest of the week and Edward, you will be suspended for two weeks. We will talk about this more when we get home. Come on."
The two of use followed him, not saying a word. When we reached his Mercedes, I allowed Jasper to have the front seat but he refused, making us both sit in the back.
'He's really angry.' Jasper thought to me. I nodded.
Carlisle sat in the drivers seat looking out the windshield, not saying anything.
I decided I better talk, "Look Carlisle, I'm sorry. I don't know…"
He cut me off, "Edward, I tried to pass off the last one as an accident because you were hunting. But this time, I don't know." He looked in his rearview mirror right at me. "You are lucky that Jasper was right there."
"I'm really sorry. I don't know what got over me. I was running and then it all just happened so fast." I said.
Carlisle sighed as he started his car up. Jasper and I kept silent the whole way home. When he parked the car at our house he looked in his rearview mirror at us, "Jasper go take a break."
We all knew what that meant; we said it to him knowing that he can feel all of our emotions. We all knew that Jasper had to have a break from everyone once in a while- including Alice.
Jasper nodded and got out of the car walking toward the wood line. 'Hope it's not to bad.' He thought to me as he walked into the woods.
I sighed, already hearing Carlisle's thoughts in his head. "Edward to my study." He said.
I growled. "This makes no sense. Jasper has almost let us get found out many times, I slip up once and I get in trouble?" I was practically yelling.
"Go now. I will be up there in a bit." He said back.
I got out of the car, slamming the door. I practically ripped the front door of the house open as Esme quickly came to the door, "Edward what are you doing home so early?" She asked.
I didn't respond, I walked past her and walked upstairs to Carlisle's study. Carlisle was telling her what happened before coming up to the study. I was glaring out one of the windows.
"Edward what got into you?" He asked me as he gently closed the door.
I turned around, "What got into me? You won't listen to one thing I say."
"I'm listening, what I don't get is why you almost attacked a kid today. We had just gone hunting."
"We are allowed mistakes once in a while." I told him.
"Yes, but not ones that will get us found out. The Volturi have been nice to us so far, they have given us so much leeway, but you keep trying to destroy it."
"You know the only reason they have done that is because you are good friends with their leader." I yelled back.
"It doesn't matter why they are doing this. What matters is we keep on living by their rules."
I slammed my fist into his desk. "I don't want to live by their rules anymore. I'm tired of this."
"Calm down now." Carlisle ordered, going from his pacifist tone of voice to a more angrier tone.
I sneered at him, "I am tired of orders. Jasper gets it easy, he tries to attack and we move. Emmett gets it easy, he breaks a door off its hinge at a school and we just buy a new door and new text books for the school. But me? I have to be the perfect child, I have to never make any mistakes. I have to have perfect self control all the time."
Carlisle shook his head, "That's not true. You broke the biggest rule out of all of us."
"By what?"
"By bringing Bella into all this. We are all trying to stand behind you, knowing that at any moment we could be killed by the Volturi. It's hard knowing that our family is in danger and it's just for you to be happy."
"So I'm the reason we are in this? You are going to blame Bella for this?" I asked.
Carlisle shook his head, "No, I'm not blaming you or Bella, I am just saying that we are all in this together. Just try to figure this out, we will talk more about it later."
I left his study quickly and went straight for my room, I closed my door and sat on my couch. I couldn't see Bella anymore until I can figure out the reason for everything. It may have only happened twice but I didn't know why. I had to figure this out.
My phone let out a shrill noise as I looked at it, the number lit up as Bellas. I pressed ignore and rolled on my back. This was going to be long if I can't find the reason soon.
I turned my phone off when it rang a second time from Bella, "I won't see you until I know what's wrong." I whispered.
What do you guys think? I decided to keep going! I got a lot of reviews for this story with different ideas. Kathryn2689 actually got me into thinking of a different story I started a year ago. So I am twisting my oneshot with my other story. Which means I will be taking a story that I had originally wrote in third person and trying to make it first person…from Edward's POV. This will be difficult but I think I can do it. I have somewhat of an ending already so I am kinda happy now. As opposed to before where I had no clue where I was going to go with this!
Well I did my part and put out another chapter, now please do your part and REVIEW! I need to know what you thought of this story!
