Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, or it's characters. I also don't own some of the spoken parts of the book, they were, however, necessary for this chapter.
A/N: Here's chapter two, sorry it took a while. My friend had my book, and I kept forgetting to ask for it to get some of the parts I needed.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed and alerted this story. That really means a lot to me to know you like it! Hope you enjoy chapter two:)
God damn that Edward Cullen. My plan would have worked perfectly! I didn't even have to ditch her. She wanted to go. All I had to do was tell those awful boys where to find her, and they would have. But no, he had to come out of NOWHERE and save the day, again! I wouldn't even have to go to all this trouble if he hadn't saved her from Tyler's van. Surely she would have died then, but no. He just had to be standing beside her, and get her out of the way in the nick of time. If I didn't know better, I'd say there's something different about him. About his whole family really. But that's not the point. The point is, HE RUINED EVERYTHING!
She was going off on her own, as planned, to find a bookstore. I just happened to tell her of the only one in the town that, for my good fortune, happens to lead into the less then acceptable residential area of Port Angeles. And again, my lucky streak for the day paid off when I saw the group of four guys walking towards us on the street. I could tell they were up to no good as they passed us. Turning to Angela, only because Lauren backed out at the last minute, and said quietly, but loud enough so they could hear me, "I hope Bella will be okay. I can't believe she wanted to go off by herself in this area." Angela just gave me a reproachful look, and said nothing. She just kept going. It was like an angel sent her to me that day.
I could hear those boys laughing behind us, and whispering. Probably working on a plan to attack her. It took all I had not to grin. But let me tell you, I was laughing hysterically on the inside. It was going to work. Bella would be out of my way, and I could have Mike all to myself again.
After a while, I knew Bella was doomed, possibly dead already. I suggested to Angela that we go wait for Bella inside the restaurant we agreed to meet at. After a few more minutes, I again suggested we go ahead and eat since Bella couldn't make it back in time. And I really was hungry. All of the thinking I had to do, just to pull this off, made me really hungry.
We were done eating, and going back outside to wait for Bella, when the worst thing that I could have heard called out my name. Bella. Wait, how could it be? I know those guys found her, I could tell by the way that both her and Edward were acting. There were no bruises, nothing. The only way I could tell anything happened was by how heavy she was breathing, her slightly disheveled appearance, and the way Edward was standing just a little too closely, shaking, but only minimally. I know a look of shock must have been on my face. I hope to God they don't know what I was planning, and it's only because Edward was with her.
"Jess! Angela!" I slowly turned around, hoping it wasn't true. Hoping, I was imaging the sound of her annoying voice. Angela had an obvious look of relief on her face, I tried to do the same, hoping it would work, and thinking about anything but what should have happened because if I didn't, I'm sure it would show in how I acted. 'I'm glad she's back. I'm glad she's okay.' I kept telling myself, over and over, hoping I'd believe it.
"Where have you been?" I made my voice sound suspicious, because she was standing there with Edward Cullen. Did they plan on meeting here?
"I got lost." She admitted. "And then I ran into Edward."
"Would it be all right if I joined you?" he asked in a voice that was almost too hard to resist.
"Er…sure." I sighed. I would do just about anything for him
"Um, actually, Bella, we already ate while we were waiting…sorry." Damn that Angela. Always opening her mouth when it's the least convient.
"That's fine…I'm not hungry." Bella replied.
"I think you should eat something. Do you mind if I drive Bella home tonight? That way you won't have to wait while she eats." Edward asked me. Something was going on here.
"Uh, no problem, I guess…" I was biting my lip as I said this. If she came along, I'm sure there's some other way I could get rid of her. Apparently, Bella couldn't tell what I was really thinking, and thought I was trying to figure out if she wanted to stay, and winked at me. God she's so perfect, I can't stand her!
"Okay. See you tomorrow, Bella…Edward." Angela said, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards my car. As I was getting in, I turned and waved, with true curiosity. What is going on there? That's all I could think about on the way home.
For the first time that night, I was honestly glad that Lauren skipped out on the trip. If she was with us, she would be talking non stop about what happened. But since I was with Angela, I had plenty of time to think about what went on.
As soon as I got out of the car, I ran for my house. At some point on the way home, I decided I was going to call Bella, and find out what happened. I dialed the number for Bella as quickly as I could, messing up three times before having to slow down to get it right.
"Hello?" Bella answered the phone, out of breath. How's she home already?
"Bella?" I asked, shocked.
"Hey, Jess, I was just going to call you."
"You made it home?" I was surprised, because, for some reason, I was…relieved.
"Yes, I left my jacked in your car, could you bring it to me tomorrow?"
Sure, But tell me what happened!" I demanded of her. I have to know!
"Um, tomorrow…in Trig, okay?"
I understood immediately. "Oh, is your dad there?"
"Yes, that's right." She said.
"Okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow, then. Bye!"
"Bye, Jess." She said before hanging up the phone. Oh, is she gonna get it tomorrow.
