Disclaimer - Stephenie Meyer owns all but not the school that's my work and I know people say its like gossip girl but I tried for it not to be like that so it changers later on, once again Stephenie Meyer owns all.
Alrighty People this is the Second Chapter for The WOODRIDGE PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR THE ELITE or TWPSFTE for short, well this is a seriously long chapter and I hope people enjoy it remember my little competition going that the longest reviewers get used as people from Woodridge. On with the story… it was a really fun chapter to write and I didn't know how to stop so I sort of made it nearly 4000 words… now on with the story for real this time…
Previously in The Woodbridge Private School for the Elite…
"Hi Eddie," I said shyly, "How was London?" I said using his nickname I had made for him when I couldn't say Edward.
"BMarie Swan?" he said with a slight British accent remembering my nickname.
Now on The Woodbridge Private School for the Elite…
"Yeah its me, I can't believe you remembered after all these years I am still BMarie, you've changed for the better I like the accent it's so much sexier than your other one. I have missed you Eddie." I said trying to make it awkward for him after all those years I missed him and loved him.
"Missed you to BMarie, I think your accent is sexy to even though it hasn't changes at all unlike you. You actually grew some boobs nice." he said giving me the thumbs up, "London their were many ways to explain it but great isn't one of it, I missed my family, friends and even my girlfriend who had to break-up with to go to London. I hope she will continue to go out with me now I am back." he said hopeful, he must not have known about my boyfriend Jacob.
Crap what the hell was I supposed to do say yes and cheat on Jake? Or say no and lie about the man I still love? "We better get going because it is a half a hour dive then the others will want to interrogate you on London."
"Yeah let's go, did I tell you in one of my emails Bella got the coolest car? It's a Mercedes and her old truck is dead oh yeah and she and Emmett are school captains for next year. She also won prom queen with her boyfriend Jacob Black. It was a beautiful night we had made it a farm theme and there were hay bails all over the hall, it was some of mum's best work." Alice said as she led Edward out to my car, I saw his reaction when Pix had said I was going out with Jake.
The car ride home was silent and I was left thinking how mean I had been to Edward my not telling him about Jake when he said we should get back together. When we arrived back at the house I went straight upstairs to my room and locked the door, I couldn't be around him and his family.
Three hours later I heard a quiet mock at my door I ignored it and kept thinking of what life may have been like if I hadn't been going out with Jake. The person knocked again I kept ignoring them, if it was Alice she would have used her key a third knock and I still didn't answer. Then I heard a knock at my balcony. It was Edward wanting to talk to me.
I walked over and opened the door then returned to my bed, "Edward what do you want?" I said with tears in my eyes.
"Bella I can see that your upset, I don't know why you are upset but I want to see you happy with that smile I love so much, BMarie I don't care if your going out with this Jacob person but I still care about you so much and hate to see you sad. Tell me what's wrong?" she said his green eyes piercing mine.
"Edward that's the problem, I still love you and now that your back I am just so confused I love Jake but I love you even more. When we were talking in the airport it got me thinking about what my life would be like if I hadn't gone out with Jake and waited for you, when we got back it was just so overwhelming to see that I would love to have lived that life, but with Jake it is always so unplanned when I am with you it is so structured and safe, I love that about you." I sobbed as the tears began to fall.
"Bella don't feel like you need to go out with me because we were and item before I left. When I came back I never expected for you to be my girlfriend I hoped you had moved on. I still love you and I hope one day I will be able to go out with you and I know I love you so much Bella so much, but as I have just come home I am not looking to have a relationship." he said comforting me by rubbing my back.
"Edward, I know you want to help me but what I really need now is to be left alone to think, I really hope that all this doesn't come between us because I really like being your friend Edward, I am so sorry I didn't keep in contact while you were in London but I couldn't handle you not being here and being alone." I said walking over to my wardrobe and pulling out some Channel sweats, "Edward would you mind leaving I really want to be left alone." I said and turned to my bathroom to get changed.
"Bella really if you ever need to talk or anything just come to my room, I am always up for the chat, sleep well." he said walking out of my room and back to what I would assume his.
I climbed into my bed and went to sleep when I woke up it was dark and Carlisle was sitting in the rocking chair I had put in the corner. "Bella are you alright? Edward told me what happened. Do you really want to talk about it?" he said walking over to my bed.
"Carlisle I am so confused I love Edward but I also love Jake what should I do? If I say no to one of them they will be so upset with me, I don't know what do Carlisle please Jacob has been part of the family since forever and Edward is just Edward my childhood sweetheart." I said crying again.
"Bella, I know your confused and I really don't know what to say but whoever you are meant to be with will one day show his true colours, don't worry it will all work itself out. Now lets go downstairs and have some dinner you missed lunch and I am sure Alice and Rose want to know what's wrong." he said helping me up from my bed and handing me my ugg boots.
I walked downstairs only to be hugged by Alice and Rose. We sat down at dinner and they were all talking about the plans for tomorrow when we were supposed to be going to be going on a cruise around the island. When I knew I would stay in my room and think in the dark. I was silent over dinner and barely ate a thing and as soon as everyone had finished I went back upstairs and watched trashy TV until early morning before I fell asleep. When I woke the next morning it was sunny, I knew I should call Jake but I really didn't know how to say I still loved Edward more than him, if I called I could say I was sick and don't come over because I don't want him getting sick. I pressed speed dial on my hip-top he answered on the first ring, "Bella, are you ok? I didn't hear from you after the party on Friday night." he sounded concerned.
"I no babe, it just that I don't feel real good and I think I should just take I easy for the next few days, Jake I really need to rest and get this bug out of my system, talk to you in a few days, love you." I said hanging up and putting season 1 of Gilmore Girls on to my DVD player. I watched the first season that day then the second the next then the third the one after that, I had made it to season four when Alice came into my room brandishing Sarah-Lee ice-cream, "Bella I don't know what has happened but ever since Edward came home you haven't spoken a word to anybody accept to Carlisle and he wont tell us what happened. Edward has been acting really strange and Jake has been calling non stop worrying about you he said you called ad said you were sick but I don't believe that Bella please tell me what happened? I want to help get my friends back?" she said taking a scoop if ice-cream.
"Alice," I croaked I hadn't spoken in days, "I really don't know what to say but what I need you to know is that I will be ok, I will be fine I just need time."
"Bella, you need time, you need time to do what?" she asked panicking.
"Alice I will tell you this if you promise not to laugh or tell anybody especially Edward or Jake, at the airport on Friday when we were talking and you were getting his bags he told me he still loves me and would like to get back together, I didn't have to answer because you came at the right time, when we got home I went and hid in my room so I wouldn't have to answer but he climbed up the window and was on my balcony so I had to let him in. We were talking and he told me he loved me again and I said I was confused I mean I love Jake but I also love Edward, I was sitting here to try and work things out." I said looking away from her as I began to cry once more.
"Bella I am so sorry I know this is confusing and I have never had this happen before so I don't know what to say but you cant just sit up here watching Gilmore Girls, you really need to get out of town to think about this why don't you go see where your parents are and go stay with them for a week or two?" she said pulling me out of bed and into the shower.
"Alice I think you may be right I need to get out of this place, there is so much baggage here." I said undressing and hopping into the shower.
"Bella I will try to get Carlisle in contact with your parents then you can stay with them and if they cant dad will organise for you to stay with our cousins in Alaska they should take care of you, you can stay as long as you like but you have to be back for when school starts or the gossip will be that you were in rehab for alcohol addiction I mean Lauren and Jess already think you're a stoner." she said passing me a towel.
"Thanks Alice it really means a lot that you care for me, you are my sister in so many ways. The sooner I get out of here the better I will be." I said grabbing the towel and drying myself off.
"You are my sister in all those ways and so many more. Why don't I go and get Carlisle to try and get in contact with the parents and you get dressed and call Jake for gods sake he is worried and getting kind of annoying." she said walking down stairs.
I got out of the shower and into a clean pair of Victoria Secrets sweats, as I made my way down stairs I was getting really odd looks from Emmett and Rosalie, "Hey guys, how are you all?" I said trying to be civil.
"Bella are you ok? I haven't seen you in four days and you haven't eaten anything either, what happened?" Rose asked concerned.
"Do I have to talk about it, all I want to do is grab some food and lie on the couch watching TV, please just leave me alone." I said walking into the kitchen and saw Esme, "Bella are you ok? Do you want some food I have been so worried." she said giving me a big hug.
"LISTEN UP WILL EVERYONE PLEASE STOP FUCKING ASKING ME IF I AM FUCKING OK, I'M FUCKING FINE JUST LEAVE THE FUCK ME ALONE!!! Sorry Esme I didn't mean to yell but I am really sick of being asked if I am ok I am, and hungry so can I get some food and lie on the couch." I said just wanting foods.
"That's fine Bella, do you want a omelette? Or I will make what ever you would like." she said giving me another reassuring hug.
I was lying on the couch when Carlisle came downstairs holding the phone out to me, "Your Mother" he mimed as he passed me the phone, "Hi Mom, how are you?" I said trying to be persuasive.
"Hey Darling, Carlisle called and said you needed some time out what happened? Did you and Jake break up? Because if he did your father would be having some words to Billy." My mother Renee said as if she was the most caring mother in the world when this was the first time I had heard from her since her birthday in March.
"No I was just wondering where you were? Because I need to get away from it all to a place where people don't know I am school captain and that Edwards back and I am feeling really confused because I love them both."
"Isabella we are staying at the nicest little hotel in Melbourne, Australia you wouldn't get a seriously awesome tan while you're over here but you will be here with your family and not with the Cullen's. You father and I would love for you to be here." Australia hmm, far away place, it would get my mind of Edward and Jake.
"Mom, I think I may come over for a few weeks just until school starts off again, then I will be back here in the big smoke." I said thinking of how tanned I wouldn't be by January.
"That's great dear I will get Barry to book your ticket, you will want business class? What day do you want to come over?" she said writing stuff down.
"Yeah of coarse I will fly business, Coach is so povo, whenever the next available flight is if it can be done?" I asked.
"You have grown up into such a snob but I guess that's what Woodridge teaches you. I just had Bruce pull up the flights and there is a flight from JFK airport tomorrow morning at 11.30, is that good?"
"Tomorrow is fine see you soon Mom, love you bye." I said and hung up. Carlisle was still looking at me and wondering what the whole convocation was about, "Carlisle not that I don't love staying here because I do its just with Edward being back and me going out with Jake I am a little confused so I am going to have a holiday to Australia to think things through." I said making my way upstairs where I found all of the Cullen and Hale children except Edward looking at me with a surprised face.
"Bella why are you leaving? It won't be any fun here with out you." Emmett complained.
"Em, just do what you did when I didn't live with you, its not forever but just until school starts or I figure out what to do with my life, I will miss you guys heaps don't make this harder than it already is." I said walking into my room only to find it wasn't empty but Edward was sitting in my rocking chair, "What do you want Edward? If you don't mind I kind of need to pack." I said pushing him out of the way so I could grab my Louis Vitton suitcases.
"Isabella please don't do this I know your confused and scared but it will all work out fine believe me." he said helping me with the suitcases
"Edward I am not leaving forever like I thought you had I would never put you through the pain I went through when you left ask anybody they will tell you it wasn't pretty. Now if you wouldn't mind leaving me alone so I could finish packing because I am going to Australia weather you like it or not." I said walking into the bathroom and packing all my toiletries.
It took the smallest suitcase to pack the bathroom; I moved out into my wardrobe and packed all my summer clothes into four suitcases and electronics in a Sixth. It was around 10 when I finished packing and I had missed dinner but I knew I would be able to eat leftovers from the fridge, downstairs everybody was watching the new Batman movie. I went into the kitchen and heated up some left over lasagna, and sat in the kitchen nook. After about 10 minuets Alice and Rose came in to talk to me, "Bella, are you sure you want to go to Australia? I mean its so far away and the time difference? We will miss you and the rumours going around will be terrible." said Rose, looking at me sympathetically.
"Rosie, Pix I am going to miss you all heaps I think I may even miss Em and Jazz, please this is just something I need to do and think of the benefits I will have the worst tan at Woodridge when school starts again. Just think back to the summers when I went on holiday with my parents to St, Barts and you went to Maine, it will be like that I just need to get away from New York and all that follows it." I said pulling them into a big hug.
"I was killing myself when you weren't there, remember in Elementary School when your parents moved to LA and you lived there for a year?" she said remembering the day I left I don't think I stopped crying all the way to La.
"Rose, Pix I remember that like it was yesterday, it was the saddest day of my life but this is something I just have to do, its not forever I will be back in a few weeks, hey I will be back a week before school starts so we can go and make the dorm all pretty, but I have to do this I need to think." I said walking upstairs.
I went into my bedroom and pulled out a piece of paper, at the top I wrote Things in Need to work out in Australia. Theses things were what I really needed to work out. I continues writing in my neat calligraphy,
Things in Need to work out in Australia
Who should I choose date? Edward? or Jacob?
What should I do about Lauren and Jessica?
What dress should I wear for the prom?
Yale, Brown, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia or Dartmouth?
Date Edward or Jacob?
All these thing were what I needed to work out before I came home for school, the second and third question weren't on the top of the list unlike that of the other three after I had written my list of what I needed to get done I got into my blue boy shorts and white singlet top, and went to bed knowing I would have to wake up at 7.30 to be at the airport before 9.30 and the goodbyes in the morning wouldn't be easy. I didn't sleep well that night I kept dreaming that Jake and I went off to school then he turned into Edward after a while I got really creped out because the school kept changing, I woke at 6.30 that morning and knowing I wouldn't be able to sleep I got up and went downstairs to find that nobody was awake yet.
I went to the TV room and put it onto Channel Disney, Hannah Montana was on so I sat down and started watching the rubbish. I was halfway through the second episode when I heard somebody coming downstairs, it was Jasper I hadn't spoken to him since the party on Friday night and it was now Tuesday, "Hey Jazzy, how are you? Haven't spoke to you since Friday, recover well from the party?" I said patting the space on the couch next to me.
"I am good, a little tired but that isn't why I want to talk to you, I was talking to Alice last night and she said that your going through something and is really scared that your not taking the right steps to work this whole thing out and she is scared you will make the wrong decision." he said earnestly.
"Jasper can I tell you something I haven't told anybody not even Jake or Alice? Jasper I am really scared. I don't know what will happen I know my mother is cheating on my farther with the servant they take everywhere with them Barry. I don't know how to ask her about it." I said crawling over and putting my head in his lap.
"Bella, I know all the signs of parents having an affair if you hadn't noticed Rose and my parents divorced when we were 11 and then our Mom got remarried three weeks later, I know how scary it can be but just think that there are so many people that love you in this place, Emmett, Edward, Jake, Me, Alice, Rose, Angela, even Esme and Carlisle love you as there own child. There is nothing to be really scared of, I know what with Edward back it has just thrown a spanner in the works but whoever you are meant to be with will show someday, it could be tomorrow or it could be a few years but it will happen." Jasper said to me rubbing circles on my back trying to soothe me.
"Jasper I know that you are trying to make me feel better and that I have family here but none the less I am still scared out of my mind. Jazzy what happens if I don't find out for years should I just keep on loving two men?" I said as the tears started to fall.
"Shhh Bella don't cry, I cant answer that question that's one for you to figure out and don't forget we are all scared about something wether it be the future or about family and friends we are still all scared." he said wiping my eyes with a tissue from the coffee table.
"I know but I am acting stupid aren't I by going to Australia I should just face my fears and not worry about it." I said sitting up.
"Bella its not stupid, your just trying to hide from something you cant hide from, if I was you I wouldn't be going I would stick it out and try to figure things out, just think about that one Bella," he said trying for Alice's sake for me to stay.
"You know what Jasper?……"
OOOOOH cliffy!!!!!!
don't you love them?
