Chapter 3 - Missing
Well here I am. In the closet again. It wasn't as bad as I thought. A few objects were thrown at me and a few hits here and there. It was ok…. Oh who am I kidding? He was freaking mad and just went berserk! He was mumbling about me coming late, then some useless students going missing and they put him on the case. Students going missing? That was really odd. Forks had a low crime rate due to the fact that it was such a small town. Who in their right mind would think of doing anything? Maybe I'll find out tomorrow.
Slowly my mind shifted to Edward. It made my whole body tingle just thinking about him but he could never like me. I'm just plain and boring. He was the exact opposite. He was so interesting, so clever, so handsome, so…so… Edward. It had been a month since the Cullens moved here. My life was rapidly changing. I used to hate school but it was my only place to escape and now, the Cullens just made it a hell lot better. They made me laugh so much my sides hurt and they gave me a reason to get out of that dark closet.
Alice had wasted no time in getting to know Jasper who was in the football team. The first thing she said to him was, "I've been waiting a long time for you." and Jasper apologized, kissing her. Just like that! She told me about her first date with him and how she was falling in love with Jasper. I was touched that she shared things like this with me. She was really becoming my best friend. Also, she had this crazy thing where she could "predict" the future. I learnt never to bet against her.
Emmett was being the usual goofball, doing silly stuff like sticking carrots up his nose. That still cracks me up. Rosalie, who's a cheerleader, seemed to have taken a liking to him. She was tall, blonde and beautiful. However, she wasn't your normal stereotypical blonde. No, she was sarcastic, funny and had the top grades in her classes. I actually enjoy her company.
It was recess again and I was sitting across Edward, stealing some food off his tray. He just smirked at me, slapping my hand away. Edward and I have gotten really close and he was my other best friend. He had girls swooning over him and even worshipped the ground he walked on but he didn't give any of them a second glance. I couldn't blame those girls. I mean he is gorgeous. Shit I'm drooling again, I thought and looked away. I felt bad not telling him about Charlie or what happened at home. Edward had shared his past with me and told me stories from his childhood.
Obviously my newly found friends had noticed my scars and bruises but they didn't say anything, probably thinking I was a klutz. It's not that I didn't trust any of them. It's just that I was sure they would drag me to the police if they found out and Charlie is the police. It wasn't going to work out.
Speaking of Charlie…"Hey guys, did you hear about some students who went missing?" I wouldn't know if anyone went missing in this school because I didn't know half of these people and my school only has about 300 students.
Jasper was the first one to speak. "Yea! I heard my parents talking about it. It's these guys, one of them is Mike I think. They came to visit their parents from college and just disappeared. I don't remember who the other one is though."
I saw Rosalie grimace, "Ew. Mike used to be my senior and he kept asking me out for a whole year. He wouldn't leave me alone." Emmett immediately straightened and wrapped a protective arm around her.
"Well I hope more students don't go missing." Edward spoke, looking straight at me. I couldn't decipher that look.
Everyone agreed with Edward, all of them went deep in thought. Alice was oddly quiet the whole time, her eyes darker than usual.
I knew something bad was going to happen and it definitely isn't Charlie.
AN - Ok so I know there's alot of other stories about Bella being abused and stuff like that so I tried to put a twist to the story. I hope you liked it? Review! XD
