Previously in The Woodbridge Private School for the Elite…
"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?"
Now on The Woodbridge Private School for the Elite…
"You know what Jasper? I think I will go to Australia, you told me that I need to work out what's happening in my life and choose who I want to date." I said giving him a big hug. "Hey, you hungry?" I called out as I walked into the kitchen looking for food.
"Yea if you wouldn't mind I would like some choc chip pancakes especially the ones you make they are the best and a cup of coffee." he said walking into the kitchen.
"Why dose everyone love my pancakes when I use the same recipe as Esme? I do put more chocolate in though; do you think that's the reason?" I said pulling bowls and the right ingredients out of the pantry.
"Remember when you first made them with Esme and Alice, you were put on choc chip duty and you put the whole bag in the mixture?" he said making me a coffee.
"God Jasper that was one time. They tasted awesome but." I said taking the jug of coffee from the percolator and pouring it into two glasses, "what are you guys going to do today now that I have abandoned you and all your plans for the rest of the holidays?" I said taking a bite from my pancake.
"Alice didn't tell you?" he said taking a pancake from the pile I had just made.
"Alice didn't tell me what? Jasper what are you all keeping from me?" I said having another bite from my pancake.
"Alice doesn't think it would be such a good idea if you were alone in Australia so she has organized for us all to come with you." he said waiting for my reaction.
"That little Pixie did what?" I said jumping up from the stool I was sitting on and knocking it over in the process.
"She organised us all to go to Australia for a holiday with you." he said calmly.
"I swear I will kill that little PIXIE!!!" I screamed up towards the stairs as I stomped up them to her room. She was still sleeping when I got there not for log my friends, "I HEARD THERE WAS AN INTERFEARING PIXIE SLEEPING IN THIS ROOM IS I RIGHT?" I said yelling from her doorway, she shot up like a jack-in-the-box.
"Bella what did I do?" she said all innocently I new it was a façade to try and calm me down.
"Ohh I don't know Alice, maybe it could be that Jasper just told me that you're planning a little trip down under? Why would that be Alice?" I said trying to calm myself down after my little temper tantrum, you would be pissed off to wouldn't you?
"HE TOLD YOU!? That little JASPER LINCON WHITLOCK HALE get your ass up stairs right now or I will personally rip you to shreds!!! If you leave I will never speak to you again." she called downstairs.
I was amazed even with all this shouting nobody had woken up, "Alice why are you doing this to me? I told you I needed time to myself and I really mean it so please don't come to Australia and never speaking to me again how long do you think that will last?" I said pleading as a scared looking Jasper walked into Alice's room as I exited it and made my back to mine. I walked into my room expecting it to be empty when I saw Esme sitting on my bed reading one of my many books.
"Bella, I wasn't eavesdropping or anything but I overheard your conversation with Jasper this morning and I just want to say whatever you choose to do there is always an open room for you here in our house. I don't know the whole story but Carlisle told me that it was about you, Edward and Jake am I right?" she said patting motioning me to sit next to her.
"Esme, its nice to know that somebody will accept me back after I come back, Alice this morning told me that if I leave she will never talk to me again, I mean what will I do without my best friend? Esme of course its about Edward and Jake when is it never about one of them?" I said thinking of all the issues I have had with each of them.
"Very true, Alice I mean how long will that last? Three hours? What happened between you ever since Edward came home both of you have been acting quite strange, what happened Bella you can tell me." she said rubbing small circles on my back.
"Esme, I think I am in love with two men, I mean I love Jake but is at as a brother? And Edward I mean I have dated him and he is just Edward."
"I know you have heard it from Jasper and Carlisle but trust me it will work out one day, just look at me and Carlisle were perfect for each other." she said looking at the photo from her Wedding Day sitting above the TV.
"Thanks and what do you mean by 'look at me and Carlisle were perfect for each other' did you have the same situation I am in?"
"I think every girl on the planet had loved two men at once and many men do as well f they didn't there would be no need to have affairs, but yeah it has happened to me I was in love with Charlie Swan," my mouth fell, she was in love with Charlie as in my dad? "yes I was in love with your father I mean he was a good looking one and then Carlisle transferred from a school in Alaska and I fell in love with him straight away his eyes and hair was what did it I mean Charlie has a certain something but Carlisle he had certain something's. I was worse what you Bella I made my parents send me to boarding school so I didn't have to face them, then over five yeas had passed and I hadn't heard anything from either of them until I broke my leg horse riding and needed a doctor and the doctor I was given was Dr, Carlisle Cullen, was it fate of what? And the rest is history." she said as she came back to the real world.
"Esme that's a lovely story and all even if a little creepy but how does that help me? I mean you left and never came back does that mean when I get back someone will have left?" I said trying to imagine my life without somebody.
"No Bella it just means that it will all work itself out, why would you say that story is creepy? I thought it was nice." she mused to herself.
"Creepy isn't the word I meant Strange, I mean you dated my father and now I am living here during the summer break, did you ever think you would see him again? I mean except when he isn't on film?" I said, my Dad was an actor and my mum was a director so I lived with the showbiz couple.
"No I never thought I would have to see any of them again I thought I had left that part of my past behind, so do you need a lift to the airport?" she said giving me a loving smile.
"Yes please if it wouldn't be to much trouble I mean everybody here hates me except Jake and I haven't told him yet, will you tell Carlisle to make sure that they don't come with me?" I said walking over to the phone.
"Of course I understand that you want to be by yourself I may even tell Alice to leave you alone. Now I want you to call Jake and tell him that you are leaving and have a shower, your flight is at what time?" she said standing and heading to the door.
"the plane leaves at 11.30 so I need to be at the airport by 8 if that's not to early?" I said looking at the time it was still only 6.30 I needed to call Jake now before I left and this was my only chance.
I pressed speed dial and after five rings he picked up, "Bella what do you want at like 3am?" he said grumpily.
"Jake we need to talk, I am going away for a few weeks, I don't know if know but Edward Cullen my ex-boyfriend is back in town and he said that he still loves me and I don't know what to do I mean I love you but do I still love him?" I said trying to keep Jacob calm
"Bella, do whatever you kneed to do to remind who kept by your side when you had Bulimia and all the other shit you had because it was me, Edward was in London having a jolly old time with the chaps over there while I was looking after you." he said trying to convince me to stay with him.
"Jake I know, what you did for me was too much I mean you were my own personal rehab, you kept it from so many people I mean I don't think Alice even realised what I was going through and I cant thank you enough. But, I still am going so please don't be like Alice and stalk me. Jake I love you, you don't know how much it means that you care for me, I just need to do this." I said hanging up.
"So what your saying is that when you come back I may not be your boyfriend because you chose the pommy bastard, am I right?" he said angrily.
"Jake please don't make it any harder than it already is, if I choose you, you will be please but if I choose Edward will be still be able to be friends? I really want to be friends with you Jake." I said as I began to cry.
"Yeah well I don't know Bells it would really break my heart if you didn't stay with me and I don't know if I could still be friends, but at the moment no we couldn't. Goodbye Isabella have a nice trip talk to me if you choose if you don't call I know you chose the Pom." he said hanging up the phone.
I had a shower and pulled on my diesel jean and a yellow blouse with white eyelet lace around the neck. I did my hair in a loose ponytail with my bangs hanging down in my face. My make up was light I had only used some eyeliner and mascara to bring out my brown eyes. I walked downstairs to see everybody lined up around the kitchen table, Alice was clinging onto Jasper - I really hope that they do get together one day-, Rose was clinging to Emmett's shirt there relationship was going well, then their was Edward standing looking moody and pissed off. Carlisle and Esme were standing next to the doorway holding my bags.
I walked over to Alice I could miss her the most out of everybody, "Pix, I am gonna miss you, I will email you everyday and call you at least three times a week and you can call me, Alrighty? I know you are pissed off at me and probably wont say goodbye but all I wanted to say is I will miss my little interfering pixie so much and it hurts to leave," I said waiting for a response it never came so I moved over to Jasper, "Dude I will miss you your like my own therapist I may need you when I get back to get over my parents, once again I will email you everyday, I am gonna miss you Jazz." I said hugging him.
"Em, I never thought I would say this but I think I might actually miss you fooling around playing pranks on people and just being my big brother. Cya teddy miss you." I said kissing him on the cheek. "Rosalie, how do I say goodbye to my favourite sister? I mean we do everything together, you're my light relief from life when I think to much, so I say it again I will email and call constantly." I said giving her the biggest hug manageable.
The last person to say goodbye to was the reason for my problems himself Edward, "Goodbye Edward see you when I get back." I said curtly before heading out to Carlisles Mercedes.
The drive to the airport was silent, the radio was switched off and the only noise was that of the cars engine purring nicely pushing us towards our destination and the slow steady breathing of three people. "So Bella, how are you getting to Australia?" Carlisle said he was interested in planes.
"Well I am on a 11.30 flight to LAX where I will board a Qantas A380 direct to Melbourne I should arrive at the airport tomorrow afternoon some time." I sad as Carlisle parked the car and got my bags out. We walked over to the check in counter when I saw a tall dark skinned figure waving at me, "Esme, I think I see Jake can I over near the bathroom, I need to say goodbye." I said walking over to him and jumping into his arms.
"Isabella Marie Sawn I thought I had missed you and I couldn't let you leave without apologising for my ridiculous behaviour this morning, I was just kind of pissed of at Edward. I mean he has been away for three years laving you with all sorts of shit to get over and now he is back he thinks that it should all be hunky-dory? What the fuck is this boy thinking?" Jake said pulling me tighter into a hug.
"Jake I knew you would think thing through, it means so much to me that you came to see me off, I mean Alice and Rosalie aren't even talking to me Emmett and Jasper give you this look of disappointment every time you look at them and Edward hasn't spoken a word to me, I didn't think he would but at least say goodbye one of them could have at least said goodbye." I said crying and hugging him closer.
Esme and Carlisle started walking over to Jake and myself, "Jacob, nice to see you again? How your farther?" Carlisle asked curtly, he didn't approve of Jake for my boyfriend.
"Nice to see you to Dr. Cullen, Billy's doing alright he just hates being in the wheelchair. Well Bella I guess I gotta be off I start work in half an hour and if I am late again Sam said he would fire me, and I really need the money for school." he said kissing me passionately.
"Jake, I promise to keep in touch while I am away that means you contacting me as well. Jake go I don't want you loosing your job over me, I promise to be safe and not do anything you wouldn't do, which isn't much. So Jake I guess I will be seeing you when I get back." I said kissing him again before he walked out.
"Bella, you better get going I mean you don't want to miss your flight, so I guess we better get going as well Bella so see you when you get back, I will move all your stuff over to the school and fix up your room. Bella I am going to miss you, now get going and make your decision." Esme said giving me a big hug and kissing me on the head.
"Bella, please stay safe we all know what your like, and please please don't forget to call us we want to hear all the details. Now get going. Love you Bella." he said kissing me on the head and pushing me towards the check in counter.
I handed the lady my ticket and she gawked at the name, "Are you Isabella Swan as in the school captain of WES? My daughter goes there you may know her Jessica Stanley?" the woman said looking me up and down.
"Yes I am, and I know your daughter very well, well tell her I said hi and I will see her at school." I said pulling my boarding pass and passport form her hands and pushed my luggage onto the conveyor belt. I walked through the doors of no return and made my way to the small bookshop where I bought the whole Gossip Girl series and bought some chocolate and gum for the flight.
I had two hours before my flight left so I went to a coffee shop and ordered a double espresso with no water. I sat at one of the small tables and pulled out my iPod and book, I sat down and started reading when I finished my coffee I went and wandered around the shops trying to waste time, there was nothing in any shops so I sat in a chair reading my book until my flight was called, I walked over to the right terminal and boarded the plane, business class was pretty much empty so I had a row to myself. The hostess came over and briefed me on all the regulations and where the exits were and then we were off to try and answer those questions I need to answer.
