Chapter 26:Wonderland…but no Alice

Edward's Point Of View:

Almost 3 months had gone by…I went back to my old ways. Well, sort of. I hung out with the football team again and endured the gossiping cheerleaders and blondes. I didn't see Bella around school anymore. She transferred out of Mr. Lexington's class. And Tanya just so happened to transfer in. She tried flirting, as usual, but I kept ignoring her. I always have to rush out of class just to get away from her. Finally letting those thought come to an end I looked up at the clock…5 minutes left of class.

"Hey Eddie, what are you doing after school?"

I let out a harsh deep breath and said

"For the last time Tanya, stop calling me that!"

I got up and rushed out the door. A second later the bell finally rang. I headed for the parking lot. I wasn't paying attention and I crashed into something.

"I'm really sorry. My fault."

"We really gotta stop meeting like this." The sweet voice said

I haven't heard that voice in such along time. I looked up at Bella. She looked a little different, but not too different. I looked back at the ground I knocked her books down. I crouched down and started stacking. When I was finished I stood up and handed them to Bella.

"Sorry, again."

"It's fine." She said and grabbed her books from me

"So…um, how have you been?" I asked

"Uh, good. Recently went to a concert with Alice and Rose."

"Oh, cool. Who was it?"

"Lady Gaga. Alice tried dragging me to a Justin Bieber concert but I put my foot down on that one."

"Nice. Um, you doing anything later?"

"Um, I'm actually going to study later. And I don't want to make things awkward."

"Yeah, agreed."

"So, um-"

"Um, Edward I really gotta get going. Thanks for helping me with my books. Later."

She took off. I watched her for a moment, and then continued to my car. I drove off. I finally got home. I parked my car and went inside the house. When I closed the front door I heard yelling coming from the kitchen. I went to the kitchen door, I was about to open the door but then I heard Mom yelling.

"Emmett, it's out of the question! You're not going back…you just got home!"

"Your mother is right Emmett."

"You guys don't get to make that choice for me!"

"If you're not going to do it for us, do it for your brother!" Mom yelled

"Stop with the whole guilt trip Mom!"

I couldn't listen to this anymore. I ran off to the stairs and went to my room. I slammed the door and sat on my bed. I started crying, but the next thing I did was punch the wall. I punched it again, again, and again. There was a huge crack, dent in the wall. I heard a knock on the door.

"What?" I yelled

"Can I come in bro?"

"Yeah." I answered

Emmett came in my room. I looked at him for a second then I wrapped my good hand over my red one.

"I'm guessing you heard us arguing in the kitchen."

"Yeah, so you're going back."

"I honestly don't know. I don't know what to do."

"Well don't let me be the one to stop you."

"C'mon Eddie don't be like that."

"Please don't call me that."

"Tanya still annoying you?"

"You have no idea, dude, ever since Bella and I broke up…it's been worse."

"Well what are you gonna do?"

"I don't know, but I literally ran into Bella today."

"Really,huh."

"What's with that?"

"What?"

"What you said before. Is there something going on with Bella?"

"I promised Rose I wouldn't spill."

"Is Rose here? No. Talk Em."

"It's nothing."

"Emmett you were never a good liar when it comes to me. Spill."

"Ok fine. I was talking to Rose on the phone last week, and she told me that Bella was seeing someone."

"What? When?"

"She told me they met at a Black Veil Brides concert. They became friends and a month or so later they got together."

"What's his name?"

"Alec. He has a sister named Jane."

"Do you know what he looks like?"

"Look on Facebook and see for yourself."

I got my laptop and sat on my bed. I turned it on and waited for it to warm up. My hand was throbbing a little.

"How are you going to tell Mom about the wall.

"I don't know."

I looked back at my laptop it was on my log in. I entered my password. I went on the internet and went on Facebook. My email was already typed in. I typed my password in, once logged in I clicked on 'Friends'

I scrolled down. I found Bella and clicked on her picture. Her profile came up. I saw her pictures. To get a better view of them I clicked on her photos.

There they were Alec and Bella. Alec had black emo cut hair, pale skin, dark blue eyes, he was perfect for Bella. I continued to look through the pictures until I saw one of them kissing. I closed the window and mildly slammed my laptop closed. That really hurt, seeing the girl I love with another guy.

"Wow, she's really moved on."

"You'll get her back Edward. Maybe not now, but some day. I know you will."

"Thanks for the support."

"Now, back to my problem. Do you think I should go back?"

"You already know my answer dude."

"Then I'll stay. I won't re-enroll in the army."

"But, if you want to go back. Then I'll respect your choice."

Emmett stared at me for a moment, then he pulled me in for a hug. We were silent. He let me go then left. I still just stood there, seeing everything I cared for leaving me. Leaving my life. So much for things getting better. My phone went off. I took it out from my back pocket. It was an unknown number. But I answered it anyway.

"Hello?"

"Edward?" A familiar voice said

"Ali?"

"Hey Edward."

"What's up?"

"Nothing much. I just wanted to talk to you about Bella's birthday."

~Hey! Another chapter about the wait, again. It took me awhile to come up with an idea for this chapter. So Bella is with a new guy. Hope you guys don't hate that. There will probably be a drama love triangle. Well hope you guys like this chapter. Please Review. Thanks!~
