I was almost out of the cafeteria when Edward caught up to me, "Hey where are you going?" he asked. "Uum to class" I mumbled. " Well what class are you going to?" " Oh, I got biology, you?" " Same" He smiled. " So how's your first day going?" "good I guess, how's your day?" " it's okay" he said giving me a grin.
We made small talk while walking to the class. As I walked in I handed the slip to my teacher to sign, he signed it and told me to sit next to Edward.
The class was okay, as it turned out I was already way ahead of the class so I just sat there being bored. I felt like Edward was watching me the entire time but I was scared to look. Suddenly a note skid my way on the table and I glanced at it and saw perfect script that said, Want to have a smoke later? I looked at Edward but he was staring at the teacher so I got out my pen and wrote, Hell yeah, meet me after school by my truck? I gave it to him and after reading it he gave me a nod before turning back to face the teacher.
I guess sometime during the lecture the teacher was giving I must have dosed off, ever since the incident I've never really been able to sleep so while I was napping of course I had a dream about that night. Me walking home from school, getting in the house, and no one is there, then he grabbed me and forced me into my mom's bedroom….. I woke up when a hand started shaking me. "Bella are you okay?" Edward asked his worry covering his face. "Yeah, why what happened?" "Well I guess you fell asleep but then you started screaming. Oh my god Bella you idiot I looked up to see everyone in the class giving me strange looks, embarrassed I ran out of the room.
(Edward's P.O.V)
I was pretending to listen to the teacher when all of a sudden Bella started screaming, I looked at her to see her head in her hands, alarmed I shook her and her head snapped up, she looked like she just feel asleep. What was she screaming about? Was it a nightmare? After I told her what happened she ran out of the room "Bella" I yelled but she didn't stop. Not caring about what the teacher was saying I grabbed my bag and hers and ran after her.
As I was running down the hall her bag slipped from my hand and all her stuff came out. " Fuck" I said and bent to pick up everything, after I was done putting all her notes away I came across a black pouch, I was going to put it back but my curiously got the best of me and I put it in my bag and zipped it up.
I'll look at that when I get home then slip it back into her bag later I thought as I walked around the school for a little wondering where she went. When I saw her walking out of the girls bathroom, I smiled and walked over to her "You forgot this" I said. She looked like she must have been crying; she nodded her head and took her bag then started to walk away. "Wait, are you okay?" I asked as I walked next to her. I couldn't explain it but I felt this weird feeling to protect her. The feeling was overpowering, it took all of my strength to not grab her and hold her to me, and however I knew that would just freak her out so I settled for a small touch to her shoulder.
"No" she mumbled and moved into my touch slightly before making some distance between us. " I just made a fool of myself in front of the class" I frowned" That wasn't a big deal, really I think they might think I did something to make you scream anyway" I said trying to calm her down. "Great now I got you involved "she grumbled "I don't care what they think, so why were you screaming anyway?" She turned away from me "Bad dream, I don't want to talk about it" she said and walked down the hall.
What is she hiding? I thought. Suddenly that same feeling to protect her overcame me again, I just wanted to protect her from whatever made her scream, even if it was a bad dream. "Hey how about we get out of here? I know a cool place we can hang out for a bit" I asked. She nodded and we walked out of the school together.
We got into my car and I drove to my secrete place, she was a little scared to go into the woods but I assured her it would be alright. When we got there she looked like a little kid on Christmas "It's beautiful" she said, spinning around in a circle taking in the beautiful site around her. "Now it is" I smiled at her. She blushed, and sat down on the grass, I followed suit. I pulled out a cig and offered her one she took it and inhaled deeply while I lit off mine. "So how do you like Forks so far?" She shrugged, "I don't know anywhere is better than my mom's house" "Why?" I asked instantly curious. Ever since I was younger I always had this werid way of knowing what people were thinking, as I grew so did my gift and if I concentrated hard enough I could hear thoughts. I knew telling Bella this would scare her though so I kept my mouth shut. She will probably think you're crazy I thought. However, since I met her, I could not for the life of me get a good read on her. It was starting to drive me nuts.
"Um I got into a lot of trouble there, you know drinking, drugs stuff like that" she said shyly "Really, me to, well that's why we moved here anyway" I said while making a weird hand motion. "Really?" she asked clearly intrigued by me. "Yeah" I smiled. "In fear of me becoming a full fledged junkie my parents thought it best that we move here" I groand, I really missed my home. My old friends – well I guess I couldn't really call them friends more like my suppliers and fellow junkies.
"Wow that sucks, I guess" she said. "Now it doesn't, I mean now I know you and well...You know what I'm going trough" way to be smooth. She smiled, "Yeah I guess I do" We sat there in comfortable silence smoking our brains out until she looked at her watch and jumped to her feet "Crap, I got to go, I promised Charlie I would make dinner" " Okay" I said and together we walked back towards my truck. I drove her to the school before she got in her car she gave me a kiss on the cheek "thanks for this Edward" then she went into her truck and drove away. I stood looking at the truck drive off into the distance and let a smile fall on my lips. Things might be good here after all.
When I walked into my house Esme and Carlisle were both sitting on the couch "How was school" Carlisle asked. "Okay" I said about to head upstairs when he called out "Really, because as far as I know you weren't there, at least not the whole day that is" I turned around and faced him trying to keep cool "Hey I was there, I left after lunch" then before he could retort I went upstairs slammed my door and locked it then collapsed on my bed.
Wow Bella is so cool and she kissed me on the cheek. Thinking about Bella got me thinking about her little black pouch, I hoped out of bed and opened my school bag, and after doing my homework I pulled the black pouch opened and unzipped it. As I looked at the context I gasped.
"Oh" I said into the empty silence of the room as I looked unbelievingly at what I saw.
