Okay, so I know I haven't written anything in about nine months, and to be honest I don't really have any excuses other than the fact that I'm lazy. I'm sorry, but now that it's summer I have more time :) so here we go!


Day Two of Hell

(Bella's POV)

I got woken up by the beeping of my alarm clock again, which surprised me. Usually I was such an early riser that I woke up before my alarm. I guess things had changed?

I'd been so tired last night that when I washed my hair I didn't bother blow drying it so now it was all very wavy. Great. I went through the motions of brushing my teeth, putting my eyeliner on and trying incessantly to flatten my hair without much luck. I sighed into the mirror and collected my books in my bag.

At least today will be better, I thought as I made my way carefully down the stairs, I had Rosalie and Alice now and I felt like I could trust them. Even if they did come up with that awful notion of Edward and I being like Romeo and Juliet. I mean seriously? They both ended up dead! I didn't want to end up dead, and especially not because of Edward. That would just be lame.

I made my way into the kitchen where Charlie and Emmett were discussing some football game or another.

"Morning Bells." Said Emmett, grinning. I honestly don't know how he can smile all the freakin' time.

"Morning Bella" Said Charlie, grinning also. Maybe that's where he got it from. Or maybe Emmett and Charlie were optimists. God knows I'm not. If anything I'm a level below being a pessimist, and apparently crazy as well.

"Mornin'" I mumbled, heading towards the cupboard that contained the cereal. I got out the chocolate flavoured cereal and poured it into a bowl. I started eating it dry, I often did that, sometimes I didn't put milk on my cereal. Emmett called me weird but it tasted just a nice. If not better. It meant that it didn't go all soggy and mushy and bleh.

"C'mon Bells, we gotta go." Emmett told me, whilst grabbing his rucksack. I groaned and put my empty bowl in the sink. "I thought you were going to like school now?" Emmett asked.

"And why would that be?"

"Because you have Alice and Rose now." He told me.

"Well I may enjoy lunch now, but the actually school part is still gonna suck, and when did she become 'Rose'" I asked with a grin.

"Just now, it's easier than saying Rosalie" He said nonchalantly, turning round in the process. Emmett may not ever really blush, but he still had the Swan curse and I saw a red hue cross his cheeks as he turned round. I sat down to pull my converse on and started to sing.

"Emmett and Rosalie sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes-mmph" Emmett's hand had covered my mouth.

"Now now Bella, you really don't want to start this do you?" I tried to reply but his hand was still covering my mouth, so all that came out were some undistinguishable sounds. "That's what I thought" He said grinning and removing his hand in the process.

"That's not fair! I didn't say anything." I called out, whilst pulling on my converse and grabbing my hoodie.

"Hm, that may be true. Buut we both know that I would win." He said, manically grinning.

"Stop grinning would you." I snapped pulling the door open and heading out into the ever-present drizzle.

The whole Cullen-Hale clan were standing out by our cars, talking, well apart from Edward who was staring moodily into a space, yet still managed to look like a God. Life wasn't fair. We both walked over to them.

"Hey Bella, hey Emmett" Alice waved enthusiastically. Everyone else said hi to us, but evidently not everyone was as happy as Alice in the mornings, including me. Everyone was chatting, I was in between Rosalie and Emmett in the circle we'd unknowingly formed. I looked over to Emmett, grinned and started humming the kissing rhyme. Emmett glared at me and apprehensively glanced over to Rosalie who was looking at me.

"Bella are you singing-" Rosalie didn't get to finish her sentence because I Emmett lunged for me. I screamed but managed to dodge out the way in an uncharacteristically athletic move. I ran towards my truck with Emmett very close behind. However I wasn't fast enough, Emmett grabbed me and started tickling me.

"What did I tell you before Bella? Hm?" He asked, still torturing me.

"Ah, you said, haha, please stop Emmett, ah, please."

"Do you promise not to do it again."

"I promise! I promise!"

"Hm, that's good I guess. Now say 'Emmett is amazing and awesome and I love him so much'"

"EM, STOP PLEASE!"

"Not till you say it" He sang, still tickling me relentlessly.

"EMMETT IS AMAZING AND- HA- AWESOME AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! NOW LET ME GO PLEASE!" Emmett finally stopped tickling me and I stood there catching my breath and glaring at him.

"You know I hate being tickled." I said, kicking his shin.

"Well, you shouldn't have provoked me" He said, sticking his tongue out at me and making his way back to the group.

"Well now that you two have had you fun" Said Alice bemusedly.

"Psh, fun for everyone else." I said bitterly, still a little breathless.

"We need to go to school" Alice continued, ignoring my remark.

"Oh the joy!" I said, all chipper. Then I went back to scowling and glaring at Emmett.

"At least it's the weekend tomorrow" Said Jasper comfortingly.

"True" I said with a shrug, smiling at him. I liked Jasper, he was very calm and quiet and seemed to be able to balance out Alice's hyper-ness.

"Well there's no point taking separate cars when we can all easily fit into both Emmett's and Bella's cars." Said Rosalie reasonably.

"Well technically you can all fit into Emmett's car" I said.

"Yeah but then we'd be squashed" Said Alice with a wave of her hand, she looked at me and then winked. She was up to something. "Me, Rose and Jaz can go in Emmett's car and Edward can go in Bella's" She said. That Evil little Pixie! Just because she wanted Edward and I to become so modern day Romeo and Juliet.

"Do you want me to die?" I hissed into her ear.

"What?" She said innocently.

"Because Romeo and Juliet killed themselves, that's it isn't it! You're trying to kill me! My dad's the chief of police y'know!" Alice rolled her eyes.

"Honestly Bella, stop being so over-dramatic."

I humphed, and then made my way over to my truck, with Edward following behind. I would habe thought that he would have made a fuss.

I got into my truck and pulled my hoodie on. For some reason it was colder in my truck than it was outside. It always had been, in phoenix I had seen this as a blessing, not so much anymore. I rubbed my hands together to try and generate some heat. The heating system in here had never worked, but I had never needed to use it before. Edward climbed in beside me and shivered.

"Do you not have heating in here?" He asked in his velvety voice.

"Nope. I never needed it before."

"Hm." Said Edward, turning to look out the window. The first five minutes of the journey was filled will awkward silence. I desperately wanted to say something, anything, to break it.

"Your sister's trying to kill me." I blurted out. Oh well done brain, god why was it that whenever I talked to someone who I wasn't familiar with my verbal filter decided to turn itself off. It wasn't only Alice that wanted me dead, it seemed that my brain was trying to get me to die of embarrassment.

"What?" He said, looking at me curiously and raising one eyebrow.

"Er, yeah, she wants me dead." I was thankful that I had to look at the road ahead and not at him.

"O-kay then." He turned away from me once again and I internally berated myself for being such a complete and utter idiot. Now he definitely wasn't going to talk to me.

"So how did you come to the conclusion that she wants you dead? " He asked. He was talking to me? He was actually talking to me? Wow, maybe Edward wasn't the only one who was bi-polar. I seemed perfectly capable of it as well. Now do I tell him the truth or make something up?

"Erm...well she kind of said to me last night that we would make a cute couple" My cheeks burned crimson at this statement. "Then she, or maybe it was Rosalie, said that it would be like Romeo and Juliet which is an insult to me because I hate Romeo and Juliet I mean seriously, they knew each other what was it, three days before they got married? Plus they killed themselves so I assumed that Alice wanted me dead, I mean I don't know why she wants me dead. I haven't done anything to her, maybe I was Hitler in a past life or something." I took a much needed breath, Edward was silent next to me, then he threw his head back and laughed. If I thought Edward was beautiful before I saw him laughing, then I was mistaken. He looked absolutely gorgeous when he laughed, his eyes crinkled, he smiled and he shook his head.

"Bella. I'm sure you weren't Hitler in a past life." I just blushed and concentrated on the road once again whilst Edward sat beside me, shaking his head. Well at least I had successfully broken the silence. I pulled into the parking lot and stopped the car.

"See you at lunch" Said Edward, sliding out of the car. I watched him walk into the school, when a knock at my window broke me out of my reverie.

Alice and Emmett were waiting at my window, smiling. Oh God.


So, I'm sorry this is short, and I will probably upload another chanpter either tonight, or tomorrow. Who knows? Thank you for reading and please review because they make me more motivated and much more likely to write. Love Lauren oxox
