Two. Old Faces
Josh, smacked me over the head lightly in a playful kind of way. I laughed loudly.
"Josh you moron," I screeched punching him in the shoulder with extreme force. He winced, but said nothing, only taking my face in his, kissing it gently.
In the twenty- five years I had been a vampire, I had aqquired a new family. After Gideon had faked my death; a lovely little fall from Charlie's roof. It could happen, in my human life I had been excessively clumsy and I still was, but only to a point. I constantly tripped over things, but I always caught myself just in time, I wasn't graceful like my adopted father and my brothers and sister, and of course Josh.
"Me the moron?" Josh mocked in fake hurt. "Please Bella, don't tell me that, it burns my soul just for you to even throw such ludicrous words around my delicate---." I kissed him on the lips to prevent him from finishing his sentence.
"Shut up Josh."
I loved Josh, yes I did, but it was nothing compared to my love for Edward Cullen. I had given my whole entire heart to Edward and only gotten an inch of it back. That inch I divided between my family. Over my twenty-five years of vampirism, I had moved from the dreary Forks, Washington to a doubled in population town, though it was still quite tiny, farther up the Olympic Peninsula. Gideon had just made us move there, two and a half years ago, just in time for us to begin our freshmen year. For me anyway.
Josh was nineteen when he had been changed, and now looked as if he was a sophomore, which he had pretended to be. I had been stuck in very dull freshmen courses with my brother; (Josh lived under a different last name), Gabriel. He had been seventeen, when he had been turned into a vampire and played the part well. My younger sister, really was a freshman, only fourteen, but we had made her start out her new life in sixth grade. Arielle had despised us for it for several months. Lastly was our baby brother, Jamie, he had only been eleven when he had been turned, and he was forced back into the fourth grade.
Quickly after leaving the comfort of Forks, I had fallen in love with my new family. Josh had especially taken a liking to me. And for some odd reason, I complied with his affection. However it was nothing like the love I had felt for Edward. Those wounds had just recently been sewn shut, with time. And they had mended as much as they were ever going to. I stared at Josh; he was nothing like Edward, always upbeat and cheerful. He always had something dirty or positive on his mind. A special habit of his was making me feel completely embarrassed by his crude comments. It was part of his appeal; he made me laugh, like Edward never had. But it still wasn't the same.
He didn't even look like Edward, with the same long shaggy black hair as Gideon, and the bright golden eyes. He wasn't even the same shade of pale as Edward; a slight flush was always in Josh's cheeks. He claimed it was due to a very pretty girl had made him blush when he was bitten. We, myself included heartily disbelieved him.
"Zchool," Arielle yelled sprinting down the staircase, in her slight French accent. Arielle had been found, when Gideon was traveling through Paris. She had been a mess lying on the ground with her white blonde hair fanned out beneath her.
Arielle was beautiful, even more gorgeous than Rosalie was, she looked like classic ballerina, but her personality was the exact opposite of a shy dancer. My French sibling was feisty, and loved to argue, shout, and scream at every chance she got. She was the family drama queen.
"Already?" Gabriel moaned coming down the stairs massaging the back of his head.
"Yez already," she snapped, grabbing her jacket from the wicker chair.
"But weren't we just there yesterday," he complained.
"Yes Gabriel, I'm sorry, but it is a five day thing," I told him in a very stern voice. He grimaced; flipping his light brown hair out of his honey colored eyes.
"All right, let's go," Josh sighed, standing up, pulling me up after him.
"I'm driving," I shouted, grabbing the keys from coffee table.
Oh god, she's driving were all going to get into a car crash, Arielle thought.
"I heard that Arielle," I snapped. "And were not going to get into a car crash. Maybe not today, but we will someday and when we do I'm blaming it all on you. Do you understand that Miss mind reader?
"Perfectly, but we won't crash."
"You don't know that," Jamie said, galloping down the stairs combing his hair over. "The chances of a vampire actually getting into a car crash are pretty slim but still, they could happen if the said vampire was distracted." Jamie was our math genius, he wasn't nerdy looking but he was a math whiz at heart. Probability was his favorite. The elementary school teachers had placed him in my Calculus class, because they couldn't handle him.
"Thank you for the statistics Jamie, but if were ready to go---."
"Were ready Miss mind reader,"Gabriel chuckled.
I glared at him.
It was true; I was a mind reader, just like Edward. I never really understood the complexity that Edward felt when he was trying to tune out everyone's conversations. It really was a buzzing in your ear, though I had somewhat mastered it. "Let's go," I yelled at my scattered family. They all managed to find their way to the black camry that was my car. I wanted to get something as far from the Volvo make as possible, so I had opted for the camry.
Once we were all inside, I took off doing 120 miles per hour. I had immediately understood the need to drive fast, like Edward had. It was exilierhating, but my brothers and sister, and Josh despised it. It took all of twenty-five seconds to get to the school Gabriel had once timed in at midnight, each in Gideon's precious car collections.
I pulled the camry into the school's parking lot. The elementary, middle and high school were all connected together in three separate buildings, so we all clambered out. Gabriel, who never failed to make me break out in hysterics every time he made a cynical comment, got out of the camry stretching his flawless muscles. "Another day, in the very boring place I like to call hell," he muttered, shaking his head in mock disappointment. I snickered. "This isn't hell," I debated. "Bella my dear...my sweet." Josh growled at Gabriel's words, and so he stopped and got straight to the point.
"Bella to me learning monotonous things are very much like hell. I could sleep through all my classes and-still-get-an-A!" "Aw, poor Gabriel," I chided in a mock baby tone. "He dies slowly in boredom every widdle day." Gabriel glowered at me, shoving me off the sidewalk and into the grass. I looked around, checking if anybody was watching.
No one was. I crouched, and leapt on Gabriel, barreling him over. I rolled onto the side-walk and was standing again before anyone had even noticed what had happened. I heard Jamie laugh loudly behind me. "You want to be next Jamie," Gabriel joked. Jamie stopped giggling abruptly, and stared at Gabriel with mischievous eyes.
"Anytime," he challenged.
"No," I said putting a stop to any potential injuries right away. "Gideon doesn't want us half beaten to death. And you should both know that."
"Yes Bella," Jamie agreed instantly, he knew never to go against me. I glared pointedly at Gabriel, before he folded. "Yes. Bella," he sighed dejectedly.
I turned my back on them, only to hear them making silent plans to fight out of my vision. I sighed. They would never learn. Josh slipped a comforting arm around my waist and lightly brushed my lips with his. I giggled, happily, and leaned my head on his shoulder, as we walked into the school. At that moment I felt a pair of eyes on me, but I ignored the foreboding feeling that someone may be watching me.
"That reminds me," Gabriel muttered, coming up behind us. How could have scared any humans out of there minds, but Josh and I were used to Gabriel's sneakiness by now. "Two things actually. First Jamie and Arielle want a cat."
"Wh-what," I sputtered. "No! We can't have a cat, it'd be dead in a few weeks...days!" "Yes, well that's no the more pressing problem..." I gave him a wary look. "How bad?"
"Not...that bad. It depends on your variation of bad, for me it's not so terrible. For you and Gideon, Josh, the head of our little vampire clan, it might be just a little bit terrible."
"What?" "Just some other...visiting friends, I sensed them this morning when we reached the school. They're coming here." "To school!" I had stopped breathing, and shrugged myself from Josh's grip. Who were they, the only vampires I knew that could socialize with humans were the... Gabriel nodded. I gulped.
At lunch I was sure it was them, I walked across the lunchroom, it was empty except for a few humans. There was a group of familiar looking people at the table across from ours. I put my book I always brought to lunch on the table my new family always sat at. Gabriel entered the lunchroom, laughing to himself; a mischievous grin was centered on his face. He flipped a piece of light brown hair out of his handsome face, and strode up to get lunch.
All of the familiar looking people stiffened when he walked past him, but none turned to watch. Gabriel was walking towards a different table, looking lost. "Oy," I yelled. "Gabriel you idiot!" He turned to me, grinning, walking over and setting his tray of food down.
"I am not the idiot," he retorted. "Need I remind you that I am the one with quite a few extra degrees in many fields." He adjusted his collar smugly when he said this. "And do I need to remind you, to keep your voice down. Where's Josh?" Gabriel rolled his eyes dramatically. "In the hall, he was speaking to a teacher...again."
"About what? "Not correcting her in class." I laughed. "I should go and get him then." "Probably the argument looked pretty heated when I last saw him." I rushed out of the cafeteria at a slightly faster than human pace. My hair flying wildly about me. I quickly found Josh arguing with Mrs. Campbell, the calculus teacher.
"Excuse me Mrs. Campbell," I said in my most alluring voice. "Josh needs to eat his lunch now." She seemed confused for a moment, then nodded and walked off.
"Thank you," he whispered, picking me up in bridal style and carrying me into the lunchroom. I screeched in protest, but he just laughed loudly at me. He carried me right past the table of familiar looking people; they all stiffened as we passed. Josh set me down next to him, across from Gabriel, and kissed me lightly onto cheek.
"Oh, Joshua," Gabriel mocked in a fake very girly voice. "I think you and Bella have some new admirers. What cuties they are too." "Ooh where," I giggled playing along with Gabriel's charade.
"Over there Miss Isabella." I whirled around looking in the direction that Gabriel was looking, and froze. Five very familiar faces were staring straight back at me.
EPOV
Rosalie pulled up into the lot of out new school, in my new shiny silver Volvo. I merely nodded, when she had asked if she could drive today. It was the first day in a very new school. It had been twenty-five years since we had been back on the Olympic Peninsula. I hated the place for one reason only. Bella. Even after I left I kept tabs on her, but she went missing and then was found, she had slipped of the ladder, trying to climb up onto her father roof.
Typical Bella. When I had heard, my stomach had twisted and turned for years, and my heart shriveled up. I blocked myself off from all my family members. Only ten years later did I actually start speaking in full sentences again? Alice had been the most worried, she had claimed that Bella wasn't dead, but no hints of
her scent ever came to me when we returned to Forks for her memorial service. So I disbelieved her. "I smell others," Alice said wrinkling her nose.
"Others?" Emmett asked skeptically.
"I sense them too," Jasper said standing protectively over Alice.
"Well there's nothing we can do now," Rosalie scoffed, biting her nail. "What do you see Edward," Emmett mused. "Think we can take them." I shrugged; I wasn't really excited that we would have to deal with a new group of vampires.
Especially ones that probably didn't use our same hunting tactics. Even if I did really care about the vampires being there, I was a completely empty shell now. Without my Bella. None of my family tried to talk to me after that, I spotted a boy and a girl fighting, at super human strength on the pavement.
I froze; the girl was unusually beautiful, like Bella. I shook the thought off, She was dead, and I needed to remember that. We entered the school, Alice handing out each of our schedules. She stopped before me, giving me a soft look.
"Don't be sad Edward, you did it for her, so she could have a shot at being normal," she whispered. I shrugged, and walked to my first class, French. I didn't pay attention in any of my classes until lunch.
My brothers and sisters and I were the first in the lunchroom, except the girl who I had seen being pushed by the boy earlier this morning. I didn't even look at her, for that maybe she would see how lonely and pathetic I was, that I had actually thought she was Bella. Only for a moment. The boy, who I heard was named Gabriel, was walking around looking for her.
"Oy, Gabriel you idiot." She yelled, he grinned and headed over to sit by her. I could read his thoughts easily.
Sisters, I am no idiot though.
"I am not the idiot," he snapped in a playful manor. "Need I remind you that I have a few extra degrees in many fields." I tuned out their conversation after that, turning back to my family.
"So have you seen the vampires here yet," Emmett asked eagerly, obviously hoping for some new competition.
"I had one class with one," Jasper chimed in. "Calculus, he kept correcting the teacher, of course she was wrong every time but eventually he got sent out of the room for it."
"Talk about keeping a low profile," Rosalie muttered under her breathe. I was half listening to this conversation, when the very pretty girl ran across the cafeteria faster than a human should have. Her hair was flying around her face, giving off a very familiar scent.
I stiffened, turning to watch her disappear out the cafeteria door, only to enter a few seconds later, in the arms of the boy I had seen in Jasper's mind, as the boy from calculus. I growled softly. There was no mistaking it, the girl was Bella.
My Bella and she was being carried by someone who wasn't me. Alice froze, shooting me a quick glance that nobody missed. "What is it," Jasper asked, concern evident in his soft voice. I hesitated before answering him.
"Bella," I whispered through gritted teeth. My jealously roared to life. Did she even think about me? What was she doing alive? Who was this...this...person carrying her into the lunch room? My brain was racked with questions. The most pressing gone was did she still love me? I stared over at her table, along with my brothers and sisters, watching her.
She was laughing at something Gabriel had just said. I still couldn't read her thoughts. And it frustrated me more and more. "Oh Joshua," cooed Gabriel in a mock girl voice.
"I think you and Bella have some new admirers, what cuties the are too." I froze when he had said her name, further confirmation. "Over where," Bella laughed, obviously playing along with joke. "Over there Miss Isabella." She whipped her chocolate brown hair around so fasts that it was near impossible to turn our heads away in time. She was staring directly at us. Directly at me. Her eyes went wide with shock, and then they narrowed in pure outrage. Her nostrils flared. The only thing that ran through my brain was, if looks could kill.
BPOV
I stared blankly at them, my eyes grew wide n disbelief, and then I regained control over my emotions. My eyes narrowed as I saw Edward, his perfect face and hair, once again drawing me in. I loathed every single inch of him, and this was an image from my personal hell that had been conjured up. I tried to read his mind, to see what he was thinking and found I couldn't. I tried again and again futilely never breaking our eye contact. I couldn't even get so much of a whisper from him. I now knew how frustrated Edward had felt when he couldn't hear my thoughts.
I grew angrier, this was hell. Not possible, not in the slightest bit possible. I got up slamming down my lunch tray with a loud BANG, it cracked in half, and I chucked it to Gabriel. He caught in mid-air, and turned to stare puzzedly at me. "I'll see you in a little while," I seethed. He nodded, I walked at a human pace, out of the cafeteria, and Josh came after me, chasing me out of the cafeteria. He stopped me right before I was about to step out of the lunchroom.
Only ten feet from the Cullens table. They had all followed my angry attempt at trying to ditch them. "Bella? Bella whets wrong?" Josh was nothing but concerned for me, my heart froze over. Who had I been kidding completely leading him on like this? If Edward and his family's reappearance meant anything, it was that I was still in love with them more than ever.
"I'm leaving," I whispered. Hurt skimmed across his features.
"Why?" "Please tell Gideon I'll meet up with you at the end of the year. I'll have my phone." "Where are you going?"
"I don't know, but I'll phone Gideon, I promise." "Jamie and Arielle?" I froze; Josh had hit the flaw in my escape. "You're right, I can't leave them. I'll be back later then." I raced away before he could say anymore to make me stay. To my great luck, I tripped over my own shoe, but caught myself just in time, then sprinted out of the cafeteria.
Of course I didn't think the Cullens would let me get away that easily. I heard someone chasing me down the hallway; I didn't run I knew it wasn't Edward. Alice ran up to me, stopping me in my tracks.
"Bella?" She breathed in sheer excitement.
"Hello, Alice." "Bella it really is you!" She gave me a bone-crushing hug, then let go to get a good look at me. "Bella Edward has been so miserable without you, and now your here..." She saw they dismay on my face and frowned. "Bella?"
"I don't care about Edward anymore," stated my voice flat. She flinched at my harsh words. "Tell him that. You know I'm actually surprised he didn't come running out here himself."
"He wanted to, but I thought it would be better if I talked to you. Incase you were angry with him."
"Angry doesn't even begin to cover it how I feel towards him. I don't care what happens to him; he can rot in the depths of hell. I'm sorry you have to tell him this Alice. I have no grudge against your or the others." My voice was braking, if I could have cried, tears would have poured down my cheeks. I meant none of this, but I was so angry that I would never be able to trust him ever again, so he would just leave me alone. I turned and walked away from Alice, she stood in the same place staring after me. It felt as if a monster, deep within, had come out and wanted to rip out everyone's hearts. I felt awful that Alice's heart was the first I had to destroy.
I sat in my camry listening to some Mozart classics, I had bought. I closed my eyes, remembering everything about Edward. Memories I had been suppressing resurfaced. Edward looking more likes a god than anyone had a right to, leaning against the Spanish room door, to wait for me. Him, his skin sparkling like diamonds had been imbedded into it, in the meadow. The car going back from Port Angeles, when he told me what he was. And then there was me, sinking slowly on the grass in his front yard, crying my eyes out over him. Because he had left me. My eyes flew open, the school bell rung in the distance. Loud alarm clocks like sound.
The school day was over and I was just as confused as before I had gotten into the car. I shut off my music, and kicked open the camry's door. Arielle and Jamie were making their way over to the camry, Arielle her blond hair flying around her in an angry sort of way. I read her mind without even thinking about it.
I am never speaking to Bella or Gideon or Josh or even Gabriel ever, ever again. Sticking me in the eight grades, please.
I should be just as old as they are. I am definitely as smart as they are. I hate them!
Something in the distance made me look away from Arielle. The Cullens, all of them were making their way over to my camry. "Arielle, Jamie get in the car," I yelled. Gabriel was standing next to me in a flash. He looked worried.
The Cullens were getting closer. I could see Edwards's hurt face, among them. I felt a stab of pain in my heart. "Where's Josh," I asked Gabriel, wanting to spare myself this confrontation.
"Detention," he whispered. I glared at him, my eyes turning flat black.
"Detention?" I growled. "Now I have to go and get him, take Arielle and Jamie home." He looked as if he wasn't going to obey, but I added, "NOW!" He nodded. "Arielle, Jamie hurry it up," he called, getting in the front seat of the car. Arielle came racing up to me, with a loathing expression.
"Comment vous pourrait, je vous déteste pour ceci vous savez!" She screamed at me in French, her first language. It roughly translated to How could you do this, I hate you.
"Oh plaire, entre la voiture, la reine de drame!" I shouted back at her waving my hand at her. She snarled, and I growled sounding very much like an animal as I did so. The whole time, the Cullens had been watching Arielle and I fight in French.
They all looked shocked at my ability to speak another language besides English and Spanish. I turned on them, hoping my face might give off a hint of just how angry I was. "Get away from my family!" I hissed. I turned back away from them, to look back at the car; Arielle was still waiting, leering at the Cullens.
"Get in the car Arielle or so help you god..." I didn't finish my sentence, because Jamie was tugging at my arm. He was nearly my height, extremely tall for eleven.
"Bella," he pleaded. "Let's go." I hugged him very tightly, then let him help me back to the car.
"I have to go swing Josh out of detention," I told him, hugging Jamie extra tight. "Tell Gideon for me, will you?"
"No, I'm coming with you."
"Jamie, no!"
"Yes, I'm coming with you!" I didn't have time to argue.
"Fine," I shouted. "Lets go!" I looked around the parking lot, it was empty now. Except for the Cullen's who were staring at me with hurt expressions. They still hadn't moved.
"Bella," Alice pleaded. "Please talk with---." "Let's go," I barked to Jamie, and we were off, disappearing to the naked eye. I had never ran so fast in my whole entire life. Jamie kept up easily; he was super fast, just like Edward. We reached the classroom that was holding detention today, I ordered Jamie to wait outside for me as I entered the room. Miss Black was sitting at the front desk, reading a very trashy magazine concealed by a book. I zoned out all the other peoples mind-numbing thoughts till I found Josh. He had realized I was in the room.
Are you here to get me out?
I nodded sharply, and walked up to Miss Black's desk. She looked startled that I was in the classroom.
That girl is too good looking, more than he deserves. She thought. In any other moment I would have taken offense but now was not the time. I was desperate to get Josh out of there. "Miss Black," I said in my most innocent voice.
"Our brother Gabriel has taken ill today, and Josh and I need to bring him to the hospital. Can you please excuse him for one day? He'll make it up tomorrow, I promise." I was surprised my lie actually sounded convincing.
"I-I suppose," the old, batty teacher stuttered. "Thank you, Miss Black." I beckoned to Josh from behind my back. We were out of the classroom before Miss Black had even come to terms with what had just happened. Once we were outside, I froze. Jamie wasn't where I had left him.
"Josh, run home and tell Gabriel your safe, Jamie and I will be there quickly. Please!" I added, he wanted to stay with me, but I refused to let him. "Go!" He was a blur as he headed out of the school.
My stomach quivered where was Jamie? I sprinted through the schools, in less than thirty seconds. He wasn't in any of them. I pushed myself to the limits of my speed and searched the parking lot, when I heard him.
I only picked up Jamie's thoughts, I could see exactly where he was, and he was trying to block out me reading his mind, without any luck. "Who are you?" James voice rang in my mind.
"We don't want anything to do with you kid," Emmett said taking a step away from Jamie. "Well you should have thought about that before you messed with my sister!" And then Jamie lunged, ready to fight.
"Jamie! No!" I screamed at the top of my lugs. I ran at top speed to the sliver of the track where Jamie was now fighting Emmett Cullen. I arrived on the scene my breath bated. They were circling eachother; each had a few scratches on their bodies. "Jamie, No!" I screamed again. Emmett and Jamie stopped fighting to stare blankly at me. All my surroundings were a blur but I felt Edward, his soft gaze, watching me. I took there momentary pause, to force myself in between them, grabbing Jamie's hand and wrenching him away from the Cullens. "Jamie, if you want to fight someone, fight me or Gabriel, or Josh, but not them." He twisted out of my grip and dashed away. I didn't immediately follow after him; I turned and snarled at Edward and Emmett. "Stay away from my family," I hissed, before sprinting away from the track. It took me five minutes to reach home, and when I did I marched straight up to my room. Josh tried to come up and talk to me, but Gabriel stopped him. I listened to Gabriel's, who was always the most observant, mind carefully.
Who was that family, they were vampires I know. Their eyes, I could tell. The skin, but who? Didn't Bella say something about once knowing a clan of vampires, before us?
I would have to watch Gabriel closely these next few days. To make sure he didn't figure anything out.
I never moved an inch the next day at school. I went to all my morning classes and skipped lunch. I only had two afternoon classes and I was planning to go to each of them. I entered the English classroom, ready with my ink pen and my thick notebook. I froze in the doorway.
All of the tables, (there were no desks), were empty except for one. In the back of the classroom, the only empty seat was next to none other than Edward. It was the first day at Forks High school all over again. Our eyes met as I walked slowly down the English room's aisle. He felt just as empty as I was. His eyes were pained and hurt, with a mixture of bleakness. I felt sick, how much would I love to just lay in his arms listening to my favorite sound. His breathing and no pulse. My bottom lip started to shake, as I sat down.
I couldn't breathe, which wasn't necessarily a problem, but it felt terribly odd to be this close to him, like I had imagined so many times. Luckily the teacher, Mr. Krenshaw, had started to give out todays in class work. The assignment was to write one word that had affected out lives, and read it to the whole entire class. No explanations just one word. I immediately knew what my word was. I wrote it quickly down on my piece of paper, knowing full well Edward was looking at it. I saw the confusion, the realization hi his face.
A new emotion settled over his face, he was ashamed. He quickly wrote something down on his paper. "Now," the teachers nasally voice said, breaking everyone's concentration. "We'll go through the list, then you will each turn to you table-mate and explain why this word has affected you. I internally groaned my anger with Mr. Krenshaw flaring up like a burning flame. The list was a randomly organized list, read from the English teacher's computer. I wasn't paying any attention to it until my name was called. I had been thinking about Edward.
"Miss Swan," Mr. Krenshaw asked in a slightly irritated tone. "Your word please." "Er---," I hesitated before speaking.
"Always." He smiled at me.
"Very original Miss Swan, how about you Mr. Cullen." My eyes shot to Edwards beautiful face. "Love," he said very quietly. Mr. Krenshaw continued down his list, I was zoning out. Edward had been looking at me when he had his word, and I had felt the familiar spine tingling feeling shiver through me. I knew that I still loved him, but I couldn't trust him.
Not anymore. With the list finished, we had to turn to our partners and explain why we had chosen this word. Edward and I stared at eachother for a few moments, before I spoke.
"I chose this word, because it's a word with no real meaning. It is used in imaginary cases, like when someone says they'll love you for always." I made my voice dull and boring, so he would think that this word had no affect on me.
"I disagree," he whispered, his melodic tone making me want to run away from him. "I think that Always is a term used when people will really always love someone. Never wanting to forget them, that the person who had said that word, or written it, would always love her and no onelse."
"Your word," I said briskly changing the subject.
"Love," he mused the word. "I chose love, because I love you, Bella." I trembled at his words. There was nothing more that I wool rather do, than hug him so hard he couldn't breathe.
"Interesting," I choked out.
"Bella, can we talk...please?" I looked up at him, he did that very unfair smoldering thing with his eyes and I nearly fainted. Then, my anger gripped me so tightly, the words betrayal, abandonment, and hate filled my brain, and I knew what my answer would be.
"No."
"Bella, I left because I almost killed you. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I really would have killed you. Please forgive me Bella, I never meant to hurt you." "You never meant to hurt me!" This outraged me.
"You never meant to hurt me, I don't believe that. If you never wanted to hurt me, then you wouldn't have left!"
"I never wanted to hurt you." He buried his face in his hands, his voice muffled. "I love you so much Bella." Hs voice was strangled as he spoke. I wanted to start bawling right there in the middle of the classroom.
"Don't call me Bella, I'm Isabella to you," I snapped, jumping up from my seat."I loved you so much Edward," I whispered, my voice shaking "I missed you so much that I cried pretty much a lake of my damned tears. I wanted to drown myself in them, but now. Now I want to drown you in them."
It was the ultimate sign of hatred, I had just cursed Edward straight to hell, and I felt sick for it. I walked up to Mr. Krenshaws desk, and asked to head to the nurse, he obliged. I walked out of the classroom with one last pained look at Edward. He was watching me leave, his eyes pleading me not to go. I wanted so badly to just go and apologize. I left the room and sprinted to the closed wing of the school. I slid down the wall, my body racked with dry sobs. I loved him. I loved him so much.
Words in French: "I hate you, I hope you know that."
"Oh, please, get in the car drama queen."
I hope you liked it, I know there is a lot of spelling mistakes but I type to fast for my own good. The next chapter will be up as soon as I can finish writing it, which is…now.
