Chapter 7: The Roller Coaster Continues


When I was in school, I did my best to forget about yesterday. I was not going to let that happen again today. I decided just to greet Edward like nothing happened. I searched him out and saw him at his car about to follow his siblings until he saw me. He stopped and waited to see what I would do. Here goes. I was giving myself a pep up talk. Plus how did Edward react to Alice stealing his car yesterday. I will have to ask Alice.

"Good morning Edward. Ready to hand in our paper today?" He was looking at me. I could not read him. He must have made a decision for his face changed bringing a light smile.

"Yes. I have it with me ready to hand in." He is playing along or he was just as eager to move past yesterday.

"I hope the teacher has no plans on setting another project just yet. I like not to have any others tacked on to the English and History papers already due this week."

"Do you want any help?" He looked over waiting for a response. I was not sure what I was suppose to say. Yes and then we would have an excuse to spend time together. No, because I could handle it. The girl in me wanted to say yes. I love to spend all the time in I have awake with Edward. My pride was saying no. I know I am more than capable in finishing them on my own. He was being patient.

"Alright. I may need some help checking it over and making sure I have not missed something." He smiled at me agreement to his offer. I like to think he knew I was capable but wanted to spend the some time together.

"Do you want to come over? Esme would love to make you some dinner so we would be able to concentrate on the papers." He masked a look that was full of hope. I almost did not catch it.

"That would be wonderful. I rather keep my mind on other things." I tried to hid the smile at my hidden meaning. Of course he could figure it out since he smiled too.

The day dragged and since I sat at the lunch table with Bella I did not get to really talk to Edward much on the way to music.

Gym was an eventful experience. We were still doing volleyball and Bella and I were on the same team. I was not Bella's only target this time. I was also lucky. I had myself a new savior in gym. His name is Christopher. He on a few occasions saved me from Bella's attacks. The final act of heroism was when he caught me after Bella tripped and plowed into me sending me flying. Chris was somehow able to send the volleyball back over and catch me. What talent. When we were about to go head to the lockers Chris asked if I was joining the crew this weekend. They were going to the movies. Bella overheard and told him I was. How rude. I was going to have plans with Edward, but she canceled them out with the excuse that she wanted to spend time with me. Yeah spending time with me with Jacob as her date was real tempting. Now my plans for Friday night were set. I hope Alice saw and was not disappointed that I would not be meeting with her as well.

Bella and I walked out of the locker room. I was off in my own world thinking about Friday wondering what to expect. Probably just eat some dinner and then hit the movies. I wonder who else is going. I was about to ask Bella when I felt a hand on my arm pulling me back. I looked up and saw a stony face Edward. Bella turned noticing me gone and searched my face and said she would see me at home.

"She will be going with me to my house to work on some papers. She will not be home for dinner." His voice was flat. I was not sure what was wrong. If there was something wrong. Bella looked at me so I nodded in agreement to his words. She turned and headed for her locker.

"Hey Edward. Are you alright? Did something happen?" He kept walking while holding onto my arm leading me to my locker. He reached over and dialed in the combination to my locker and stepped back giving me space to switch out some of my books. He did not answer my question. I started feeling nervous. When I was finished and closed my locket we went out the doors towards his car. Alice was waiting.

"Alice why don't you get a ride with Emmett and the others." He was still so expressionless. I sensed that something was wrong but his face did not show it.

"No I don't think I will. I like to talk to Abby on the way home."

"You can talk to her later." He was not budging for his stance.

"Edward I see myself talking to her so I will be getting into this car. When he raised the locks she entered into the back seat dragging me with her. Edward made to reach for me, but he must have realized Alice's grip was strong on me and doing so would have turned me into a wishbone.

"Abby I am not upset about Friday. We can spend some time on Sunday. I would have said Saturday, but I know Edward will claim Saturday night."

"Actually I will claim all day Alice." He was driving like his usual maniac self.

"Nope your wrong Edward. Bella has plans for her Saturday during the day. I think it is a visit to La Push."

"This is like having me own personal appointments secretary." I tried to make a joke since I felt the tension growing.

"Are you sure that Saturday's a definite Alice? For all we know she might cancel again and hang with her new friend Christopher." When I heard that I started to paint a picture in my head. Was Edward mad about Christopher's offer to join in on the group movie outing. Nah. There was nothing to worry about. I hope.

"She will be spending the time with you Edward."

"You never know Alice she could change her mind and then your visions will change." She stepped out of the car seeing we had reached the house. I went to get out as Edward opened the door. Damn he is fast. Beats me every time. "Alice we will see you later." He was basically telling her to scram. He is being a bit rude to his sister. I go to say just that but he spoke first.

"So you are going to the movies with Christopher?"

"I am going to the movies with Bella and a bunch of other people."

"Oh really like who." He had me there I did not know who was going except a few.

"Bella, Jake, Christopher, and I not sure who else. I was told there was a group going. Plus how do you know about this? Were you listening in?"

"I was watching your gym class to see how Bella was going to hurt you today so I would be better prepared for your injures. I just happen to see your new friend holding you in his arms and asking you to the movies."

"It is interesting that you still listened in after the class was over where there was less chance for Bella to hurt me further. I don't know why you are acting this way. I got roped into going to the movies and dinner."

"Dinner too?"

"I only assume dinner."

"That would make it a date. Food and entertainment. Are you going to end it with a goodnight kiss."

"Are you the one PMSing now. I don't understand you. Why are you mad at me? What did I do?" I was starting to rage myself. He is starting to piss me off. Forget the stupid paper. I think I will have Alice take me home. Before I can call Alice she appeared at the door and walked out to me.

"You wanted a ride home Abby, it would be no problem." She directing me over towards the garage and a red convertible.

"Alice I was talking to Abrielle."

"No Edward your conversation is over. You need to go calm down. Why don't you go hunt or something." She got into the car and I followed suit.

She quickly backed up and raced down the drive toward the main road.

"He is out of hearing range so we can talk freely now. Abby...he is jealous."

What? Jealous, is she mad. "You are crazy Alice."

"I'm not crazy. He is feeling threatened by your new friend. It is a good thing I did not show him what I saw a few minutes ago, he would have probably broken something.

My thoughts went right to her vision. "What did you see?"

"I'm not telling. You will have a nice time. Nothing for you to worry about." She was smiling. I was aching to know.

"Please Alice, with a moose on top?"

"Moose, no cougar would have been a better choice."

"Are you going to tell me anything?"

"Nope. Stop fretting or I will have to send Jasper to make sure you are calm the whole night."

"You wouldn't?"

"I would and Jasper would do it for me." We were in front of my house in no time.

"Do you think he will be hunting all night?"

"I can't see. He has not made up his mind."

"Oh. Thanks for the ride Alice. I will see you tomorrow." With that I walked up to my house and went up to my room and tried to focus on my papers and not the angry Edward that I had left not even a half and hour ago.
