Chapter Two: Unbelievable

BPOV

So I decided not to dwell on the fact that Edward didn't like me. I was actually pretty nervous of sitting next to him. There was something about him that really made me want to know more about him. It wasn't like me to become so curious about somebody. The first two periods of the day were normal; we actually started the textbook instead of just doing nothing like the first day of school. It was almost third period so I would have to sit next to someone who didn't like me for the next fifty minutes. I thought I was going to be late since I was walking so slow through the hallway. I almost hit the door when I got to my classroom. Nothing new though, I was the definition of clumsy or a klutz. I sat at the table, and he wasn't there. I relaxed a little, and finally released a breath I had been holding when the late bell rang. I don't think he was showing up. I started unpacking my things, and when I looked up, he was at the door saying something to the teacher. Damn. Okay Bella, just look straight ahead and he won't bother you. I heard him pull out his chair, and sounded slightly out of breath. The rest of the class went by in blur and I could barely pay attention. He made so nervous, and I couldn't even explain why. A wave of relief passed through me when the bell rang. I quickly got up and before I knew it, ran into Edward. I guess he got up at the same time. Luckily, he just pretended it never even happened and continued walking out the door.

I was actually glad it was my off period, so I decided to head to the bathrooms. When I got in I looked in the mirror. I saw a plain average, not pretty, looking girl in the mirror. No wonder Edward didn't even take a second look at me. I wasn't nearly as pretty as the other girls here. I was hopeless. I picked up my bag and headed outside. I was going to go to the back building of the school, and maybe listen to my iPod for a while.

I only saw a few other people with this period off, so no one would be hanging out by the brick walls. I sat down and leaned against the wall. I took out my iPod, and started to listen to my music. Out of nowhere I smelled something like smoke, so I turned to the side and saw Edward on the other side of the building. He couldn't see me so I decided that maybe I should leave. I stood up, turning off my iPod but as I took my first step I felt someone crash against me. Edward.

"You should really start watching where you're going." He said in a calm voice. He didn't look angry like last time.

"I'm sorry" I managed to say without looking up.

"Bella right?" He said and I could feel his gaze on me.

"Umm… yeah"

"Well I'm Edward Cullen." He sounded funny. I had no idea what to say. I thought he hated me. I probably looked like an idiot looking down at the ground.

"Listen, Bella" He started laughing. Listen "Bella." I looked into his eyes. His pupils were dilated and bloodshot. I knew enough to know what was wrong with him. He was high.

He stared at my face and then dropped his joint. Just my luck. When Edward finally talks to me, he is high. I picked it up and threw it in a nearby trashcan. What am I going to do? Leave him here and let him stay so he can get caught? I decided I would have to skip the rest of my classes and make sure he didn't go anywhere. He left his bag on the other side so went to go get it. When I went to get there was the mini vodka bottles, that where empty. Drunk and high. What the hell was wrong with him?

"Edward?" I said trying to get his attention as I walked toward him.

"Bella!" He laughed. He was getting really close, and put his hand on my shoulder.

"You're fucking hott." He leaned in for a kiss and I pushed him away.

"What the hell?" He slurred now, and you could definitely tell he was drunk. I didn't know what to do. I obviously couldn't leave him here. I wasn't going to kiss him, I needed to help him. Why couldn't I just be like Alice, or Rosalie? They would just walk away, especially if it was someone who they didn't know. Especially Edward. I can't believe I am actually doing this but he's drunk, Bella.

I knew what I was going to do. I was just going to go to the office, and tell them I wasn't feeling well. I went through Edward's bag and looked for his car keys. I didn't know why I was doing this for someone who didn't even acknowledge my existence, but being the idiot I am I decided to go through with it. I asked Edward to show me where his car was parked. He looked at me like I was crazy, which I probably was, and after many protests he finally showed me. I grabbed his bag and his hand and led him toward the parking lot. Fortunately no one was outside. I told Edward I would be back, and locked him in his car. I took his keys, because he would probably drive off somewhere and get hurt. I mean he's not exactly stable right now.

I entered the nurse's office, and after a while of pretending to be sick, she let me go. I made my way back to Edward's car, and he was sitting in the backseat looking pissed. I opened the door to the driver's seat and got in.

"What the hell? Get out of my car" he was even angrier. I ignored him as he continued yelling at me. He finally stopped and I told him to put on his seat belt. He flipped me off, but finally put it on. I started the car, and we were finally leaving the school.

"Edward, where do you live?" I asked, and of course he didn't answer. Damn, I didn't expect this. Okay, so what do I do? I decided to look in his bag and luckily found a paper with his address. I actually knew where it was so I drove over there.

I wondered what he would do tomorrow. Would he ignore me, or thank me or be mad at me? I hoped not. Then I thought of something else. His parents might be home.

"Edward? Where are your parents?"

"Their dead!" He spat at me. Okay well I knew he was adopted, and I guess now I new why but he still didn't answer my question.

"Where are Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen?"

"There at work. Goddamnit."

Okay so maybe I should make this quick. I pulled into the driveway that led into a beautiful home. It was like a miniature mansion.

I parked the car, took out the keys and opened the door. Edward was already outside by then, so I got my book bag and closed the door. I didn't know what to do next. Edward was just staring at me like I had three heads. I handed him his car keys.

"Edward go inside. Take a shower and go to sleep. Please?" I didn't want him to get caught, and I didn't know why I cared so much. With everything that Alice told me, I didn't think that Mr. And Mrs. Cullen would be too pleased if they found out about this. I waited until he opened his door and went inside until I finally left. I got out my phone and texted Alice, telling her that everything was okay and I was at home. I would be home before her even though it was a thirty-minute walk. At least it wasn't raining. I put on my iPod and listened to music until I finally got home. Charlie and Melinda were both at work so decided to take a shower. I mean I did smell like weed and alcohol.

I went up the stairs to go to my room. I felt really dizzy and buzzed. I stripped off all my clothes and walked into the shower. I turned on the cold water, I think. Who cares. After ten minutes of letting the water run over me, I stepped out. I was really hungry, but more tired. I put on a t-shirt and a pair of boxers and threw myself on my bed. From that point, I blacked out.

"Edward?" I barely heard Esme call as she knocked on my door. I got up and felt light-headed. I opened the door and saw her standing there.

"What?" I said a bit to harshly.

"Edward the school called and they said you missed more than half your classes." Damnit!

"Oh well I didn't feel good so I decided to come home." She stared at me for a few seconds and kissed my cheek. I just stood there like a statue.

"Okay Edward, there's food downstairs." She said, as she was about to leave. "I love you." And she was gone.

How did this happen. Why was I being an idiot, and why did I get wasted. And how the hell did Bella come into all this? I haven't even spoke more than two words to her before today. All I remember is sitting by the wall remembering him. That was my problem. At least I wasn't in denial. I liked to get rid of my problems the only way I knew how. Get buzzed and wasted. When I did that I couldn't remember anything about him. My fucking father.

I tried remember what happened that afternoon. I remember Bella showing up out of nowhere and then driving my car? Did she drive me home? Shit, if it wasn't for that girl I would probably be on my way to some rehab or some other crap. I wonder why Bella decided to help me. I treated her like shit and she didn't care. I did feel guilty. I made her leave school for me. Pathetic. I was pathetic. I hope I didn't say anything rude to her. She doesn't deserve it. She was actually making me feel guilty. Something I didn't even feel before.

Before I knew it, my alarm was ringing. But I was already awake. Another restless night. I was staring at the ceiling for the whole night, while listening to music. I got up and put on some clothes. It was 7:30 so I had to leave for school. I still didn't know what to tell Bella. Maybe I wouldn't even see her.

I looked for my keys for a while, where did I fucking put them? When I finally found them in the bathroom I headed out the door. I walked past Carlisle as he was walking in and slammed the door shut. I got into my car and started driving to school. When I finally parked my car, I grabbed my book bag and threw all the papers in the backseat. I closed the door and locked the doors. Everyone was heading to their class when I got inside, so I decided I would do the same. I noticed the lust filled stares from many girls, who were pretty cute. Maybe I could find a nice piece of ass around here. Suddenly this one girl with curly hair came up to me.

"Hey I'm Jessica," she said in a seductive voice.

"Edward," I said in a flat voice.

"Well you're hott." She continued staring at me. Should I give in? She leaned into my ear and started whispering.

"Well Edward, it was nice meeting you. You should totally call me." And with that she gone, but I wasn't left empty handed. She gave me a paper with her number. Well fuck that bitch, what does she want a relationship. I don't think so. I passed by a trashcan and threw the paper away. I just want to have a nice lay and that's all.

First period was boring as hell, and then we had some pop quiz in second. I definitely failed it. Oh well I had a few months to make sure I could keep my car, because there was no way in hell that I am going to let that go. I almost at my classroom for third period when I saw Bella walk in. She looked at me and then put her head down. She looked scared. She just pushed the door open and walked in, and I followed doing the same. I walked towards the table where she was sitting and sat down.

"Bella?" I said and she quickly turned around.

"Yeah…" she murmured.

"Thanks, you know for yesterday. I was being a fucking idiot and…" Stupid Mr. Banner cut me off. I couldn't finish because he kept asking questions about this stupid book we were suppose to read during the summer and he kept staring at the students. Bella just stared at him, so I guess she was actually paying attention. After

what seemed like three hours, the bell rang. I didn't know what to say to this girl, I know I owed her at least a thank you but she was already leaving. I caught up to her and she seemed to notice because she stopped.

"Bella, I just wanted to say thanks about yesterday. I don't know why you did it since I am such a dick, and I'm not even worth it, but thanks." She looked kind of surprised.

"Your welcome, and don't worry you are worth it." And then she looked me in the eyes. Those beautiful eyes. What the hell Edward, shut the fuck up.

"So what's you're next class?" She said, kind of shyly.

"Off period." When I said that she smiled, I don't know why but she did. There was something about this girl that I really wanted to get to know more of.

"Me too." I said. "What are you going to do?"

She fidgeted and said, "I'm going to the back building again."

She was looking down when I said, " I'll go with you." She looked at me oddly before I said, "Don't worry Bella, I wont get high."
