I'm SOO sorry for the wait, I wrote the chapter like AGES ago, but I couldn't be bothered getting off my ass to type it up…
DISCLAIMER: I DON"T OWN TWILIGHT!!!!!!!
So many choices
BPOV
I trudged slowly to the small cafeteria. So many questions were buzzing through my head. How could I have just forgotten him? Has he just mistaken me for someone else? Were we madly in love with each other when we were together, or if we even were? Why did I have to forget?
"Umm… Bella, we should start walking slightly faster." Matt said tapping his watch.
Matt's voice brought me back to earth, I shook my head from all the questions and sped off to the cafeteria.
"Bella, I didn't mean that fast!" Matt said catching up to me.
I looked over Matt's shoulder to realise that, I had just used vampire speed.
"Don't worry, everyone's in the cafeteria," Matt reassured, as he must have seen my worried expression.
I sighed in relief.
"Sorry, I'm just… you know," I said.
"I know."
I sighed once again and entered the small, crowded cafeteria. The tables were in many rows, stretched out across the cafeteria.
As soon as Matt and I entered, eyes were following our every move. With both of us feeling extremely uncomfortable, we searched for Ashley and Brad, being vampires, it was no trouble. Ashley and Brad were sitting on the other side of the cafeteria, far from anyone else. They weren't alone. Brad and Ashley were grinning like idiots and the rest of the table held shocked expressions, except one.
Matt and I exchanged looks.
'What has Ashley got us into now?' Matt's voice asked in my head.
'Who knows?'
I sighed for the umpteenth time today and approached their table.
I sat down cautiously, followed by Matt.
"Bella, what took you so long?" Ash asked cheerfully.
"I-I I was… thinking."
"Bella?" The small pixie-ish black haired girl asked.
I stared at her she returned the favour.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Introductions! Right, okay, Bella, Matt this is Alice Cullen," she gestured to the petite girl that just spoke, " Rosalie Hale," she pointed to the blonde beauty on her left, "Jasper Hale," Ash pointed to another blonde, but a guy, " Emmett Cullen," she gestured to a massive guy with brown curly hair, " and Edward Cullen." She finished by gesturing to Edward.
I forced a smile, I felt Matt do the exact same.
All the Cullens and Hales broke into big grins, apart from Edward. He looked so… depressed.
I was suddenly lifted up and enveloped into a big hug.
"OH MY GOD!" I yelled.
"Bella's Back, Bella's back, Edward's not gonna mope around the house!" Emmett chanted.
We were attracting attention, a lot of attention.
Emmett put me down, only to be hugged by another… this time the figure hugging me was tiny. I looked down to see, the spiky black haired girl hugging me.
"I thought I would never see you again," she said.
I was then thrown into another hug, and another then another.
"Bella, is there something wrong, you feel confused, lost," Jasper questioned softly.
'How did he know what my feelings are?' I wondered.
Just as I was about to speak, Edward cut in.
"She doesn't remember us." Edward stated, not making any eye contact with anyone.
All eyes shifted to me. I immediately took interest on the ground.
"I don't recognise you guys, not one bit," I said softly, "I'm sorry."
I could tell instantly the atmosphere turned dark.
I grabbed my bag, without a word uttered and walked away from the table. I felt Edward's head turning to my direction when I was walking away, the first movement he made since I arrived at the table.
"Where are you going?" Brad asked.
I stopped in my tracks.
"I'm getting some air." I answered without turning my head back.
I walked to the nearest tree and leaned against it. I looked up to the sky to see it cloudy, then sunny, and then stormy, 'Ash must be really confused… just like me.' I stood at the tree, gazing at the sky changing weather.
"Bella?" A smooth female's called out. I recognised the voice it was the blonde. Rosalie.
"Yeah," I replied dryly.
"I'm going to come out clean… I was basically a bitch to you when you were going out with Edward," I raised an eyebrow at her bluntness, "there were so many times I wished you would disappear, because I thought you were ruining our family." She sighed, and then continued, " it turned out to be the exact opposite, when you were gone, our whole family sort of crumbled. Emmett wasn't the same. He didn't joke much, or at all, he saw you as a little sister, Alice lost a best friend and a Barbie doll," Rosalie smiled, " Jasper can read emotions, so he had to deal with all our emotions, especially Edward's, and he had to deal with his as well." The blonde sighed, " Edward couldn't handle it, sometimes he would lock himself in his room, he would either break everything, or listen to music all day long. He couldn't take not living without you. Sometimes Edward would run off, he would leave for maybe a few minutes, or hours, or days and even weeks. He barley spoke to us at all, he barely hunted, your everything to him."
I couldn't believe that I could have caused a family to fall apart. Especially Edward. That explains why he always seems so sad.
"I really wish I could remember, I really do."
Rosalie walked in front of me, so I was facing her.
"Come over to our place after school, meet us in the car park," with that she left.
I looked up to the sky and saw it was cloudy, they must have explained to Ashley.
The lunch bell rang, signaling lunch was over. The cafeteria doors swung open and a sea of students flowed out. As I was searching for Ashley and Brad, I saw Edward he turned and saw me, our eyes locked together for a couple seconds, until I smiled and continued searching for Brad and Ash.
I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Ashley and Brad.
"We have commerce in room fifteen," I said.
I walked off, but Ashley caught up.
"Bella, what are you gonna do?" Ashley was walking by my side.
"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" she sighed and continued, "Your going to have to choose."
"Choose what?" I really didn't know what she was talking about.
She walked in front of me, causing me to halt.
" Bella can you be more thick? Bella, Matt has been infatuated by you, he has been since the first day he set eyes on you, and it's clear that Edward is head over heels in love with you, anyone can see that." She paused, "But the question is who do you want?" Then she power walked to commerce.
Brad came up behind and patted my shoulder, then walked off.
I slowly made my way to my car and sat down in the drivers' seat. I closed my eyes and started thinking, the more I thought the more I agreed with Ashley. Matt was always gave me what I wanted, he never really disagreed with me and he always stuck up for me. He usually fights with Ash and Brad about the most ridiculous things, like who's turn is it to lock the door or who's having a shower first. I can't believe how thick I was. I sighed and started playing with the buttons on my tee.
I leaned my head on the headrest of the chair and closed my eyes.
"Did you hear about the new girl, Isabella Swan?"
My eyes snapped open at the sound of my name. I turned my head to the voice.
Two girls were heading towards the school exit, a blonde and a red head.
"No, what about her?" The red head asked.
"Well, you know Edward Cullen, like the hottest ever, I was eavesdropping on their conversation at lunch and I heard that apparently Bella and Edward have had a past together, but she doesn't remember, he must like her quite a bit because he was looking pretty sad."
"I'm so jealous of her, not only has she got looks that compares to that blonde, she's also got Edward wrapped around her little finger."
"Not only Edward," the blonde paused, "she's also got the new guy."
"Come to think of it, she's probably the reason why Edward looks so depressed all the time."
"Imagine being her, she could get any guy she wanted."
"Including Edward." The red head sighed.
"And the new guy, Matt."
I looked down to my lap, 'it's not that simple.'
The bell rang. I breathed deeply and got out of the car and headed to music.
I heard a voice call out after me. I turned to the voice.
"Hi Ash," I greeted.
"Bella where were you in commerce?" She demanded.
"I needed to think."
"Oh… are you going to the Cullen's house?"
"Yeah it might help me remember some things."
Ashley gave me a sympathetic smile.
"Then it's best if you go alone." She stated.
"I guess."
"See ya."
"Bye."
I turned around and headed off to music.
At music most people were already seated, I walked to the teacher's desk.
"Hi, I'm Bella Swan, I'm new."
I could feel people staring at me from behind.
He looked up and was stunned by my vampire beauty. I looked anywhere else but him.
"I'm Mr. Talan."
I nodded. Talan was a fairly young teacher, late twenties, early thirties. He had brown hair with green eyes.
"Class," he said a notch louder, "this is Bella Swan."
I smiled at the class. The class instantly broke into whispers, obviously about me. I restrained myself from rolling my eyes. Then I saw the familiar bronze hair, Edward.
"Go sit wherever you like." Mr. Talan said
"Okay."
I immediately started to walk towards Edward's empty seat next to him. It felt like I was attracted to him.
"Hi," I greeted him.
"Hey," he said in return.
I smiled, he smiled back, and this time it reached his eyes.
