Twisted Love Chapter 2
I couldn't move. Rosalie was trying to pretend that she was working… but I knew that she wasn't. She was dying inside… I hoped. Was she as sad as I was? Was she dying inside? I put my hand on hers… I felt her freezing cold skin… but only for a second. She pulled her hand away quickly… too quickly. I love the feeling of her skin… but of course I loved the feel of Jacob's burning hot skin. I wish Rosalie could know how much I was hurting. If only she knew.
Before I knew it, the bell rang and she sprang out of her seat like it was a furnace. I starred and watch her leave wishing she would turn back and look at me… but she didn't. Tears flooded my eyes… I couldn't stand it any longer! I needed Rose… but she would never forgive me… and I didn't blame her.
I started to get up… at least it was time for lunch. Then I could see Alice and talk to her… cry on her shoulder. But I couldn't… I needed to be strong… what I really needed was Rosalie.
I walked out of the door and saw Jacob leaning on the wall waiting for me. I smiled,
"Hey Bells! How was class?" He grabbed by books again.
What was I supposed to say? I wanted to die. I hated math… Rosalie… by best friend… hated me. "Fine." I managed to say.
He grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the face. "I know you Bells… something's wrong."
"Tears streamed down my eyes. "Rosalie…" I stammered.
"Oh… I'm so sorry Bella…" He hugged me. "Let's go get some pizza! That'll cheer you up!"
I smiled. "Ok."
We walked into the lunch room and Alice waved at me. "Bella! Over here!"
Jacob and I got some pizza and sat down next to her and Jasper. I noticed that Rosalie wasn't sitting in her usual spot… next to me. I looked around the lunchroom and then I saw her… sitting next to Edward. I wondered if Rosalie would ever forgive me… I doubt it… we would never get through this,
"Bella?" Alice said to get my attention.
I turned my head… trying to hold back tears. They were all staring at me… and I stared blankly back. "What?" I managed to get out of my mouth.
I knew Jacob was worried. "Are you okay Bells? Do you want to go home?"
"No… I have a history quiz today, I can't miss that,,," I was trying to hold back tears but everyone could see through my face.
"Bella… I don't think you should beat yourself up over this." Alice said. She grabbed my hand. The freezing cold sent shivers up my spine. "I hate seeing you like that. I love you so much… you need to stop this."
Tears came rushing down my face at this point. They couldn't stop. I tried to pick up my pizza… but my hands were too shaky.
Edward came over to the table. He sat down next to me. I looked away. I couldn't bare to look at his face. He touched my arm and I pulled away instantly. He gave up.
"Hey Bella. What's new?" he said just trying to make conversation.
"What's new? You're girlfriend absolutely hates me… that's what's new." I managed to stammer while I tried to hold back tears.
"She doesn't hate you Bells… she's just really mad… because of that." He gestured toward Jacob.
I was boiling at this point. I was so tired of people having a problem with Jacob! Why couldn't they just get over it? "I don't care if Rosalie doesn't like Jacob! She needs to get over it! I'm tired of this… OF YOU!" I was furious.
Edward scooted away from me. He could tell that I was about to explode. "Chill Bells! I'm not in your fight! Leave me out of this!"
"You were always in this Edward! You just never knew it!" I stood up at this point. "If Rosalie wants to talk to me, she doesn't have to send you!" I started to run out of the lunchroom.
"Bells! Wait!" Jacob yelled after me, but I didn't listen. I just kept running and running. I never wanted to stop.
