Jessica's Pov
He's mine! I won't have stupid little Bella take Mike from me he's mine!
I'll do whatever it takes to make sure Mike stays with me forever.
Mike's Pov
I have to get rid of Jessica she's becoming a problem, she's ruining everything thinking I wanted to be with her forever.
What she doesn't know that Bella is the one i want to be with forever.
Soon Bella will be mine... one way or another... even if i have to re-kill Jessica
Bella's Pov
I woke up sleeping in my bed with Mike hovering over me as he pinned my body to the bed with an evil look in his eyes.
" If that vampire even comes here again you will be sorry, every night he comes in and watches you sleep. I'm sick of it, last night he even had the nerve to touch you and put you on your bed, and you begging him not to leave. When are you going to understand that you are mine and mine alone! I will have y" he spat at me as he finally disappeared followed by Jessica, but not before giving me the death glare.
I lay there shock, I first i thought this had to be a joke there's just no way in hell way Edward would come to my room every night, but i have to admit, i have been sleeping more peaceful since that day at the hospital when i asked him not to leave me.
How would i even bring this up on Edward anyway?
'hey Edward, Mike you know the ghost that's been haunting me ever since i got here has a problem with you sneaking into my bedroom every night, so unless you want me died can you stop?'
yeah i don't think so.
I got showered dressed in a long sleeve t-shirt that would cover the hand prints Mike left on my wrist. For a ghost to be strong enough to leave this kind of mark on me must be strong enough to do worst, live or die i rather die knowing i did something meaningful.
Jessica and Julie seemed to be ever i went today.
Tripping me, shouting at me, trying to scare me.
I buy only a drink for lunch, considering the fact that the ghosts have decided to spit and/or sneeze on everything. Although it can't have any germs since they're dead it still seems gross. The little girl from the hospital as followed my and has made it her mission to pull my hair. I now have Mike, Jessica and the little girl named Julie haunting me. None of them seem to want my help to cross over, why i have no idea other than make my life a living hell.
"Edward Cullen is staring at you," Angela announces. "I wonder why he's sitting alone."
I scan the cafeteria until I finally meet his eyes.
He motions for me to join him.
I look at him, startled.
And then he winks.
My mouth falls open. "Uh, maybe he needs help with his Biology homework," I say as I stand.
On my way to the table, one Jessica grabbed onto my ankles, nearly making me collide with the floor.
As soon as I'm within a five-foot radius from Edward, though, the ghost disappears.
"Why don't you sit with me today?" Edward asks me.
I sit, nervously, but eventually speak. "Well, this is different." i state
Edward shrugs. "I've decided to stop trying to stay away from you." he explains
"So, in plain English, are we friends now?" I ask cautiously.
"Friends " Edward pulls out the word.
"Or not," I mutter, blushing.
"We can try," he says after a moment.
I nod, staring at him.
"What are you thinking?" he questions.
I'm thinking that I'm sitting with a vampire who apparently i should be staying away from, but i can't seem to do so.
Instead, I shrug, '' you wouldn't want to know" i mumble to myself thinking even he couldn't hear me just as the bell rings.
"We'd better get to class." i state
"I'm not going," Edward says.
"Why?"
"Because sometimes it's healthy to ditch." He says
"Oh Well I'll see you later then." i say although i did want to ditch, but seeing as he didn't invite me i decided to go to class.
I rush off to Biology, tripping a few times over Jessica's legs, but only completely falling once thanks to Julie. Mike has been my shadow whenever Edward wasn't around, although he hasn't stopped Jessica or Julie to stop teasing me he has been following me trying to make sure i don't get alot of 'male attention' as he put it. Mike as become every obsessive with me. Demand me attention at all times, and with what happened this morning really freaked me out.
But i still couldn't believe Edward has been in my bedroom and last night he placed me on my bed, i can only imagine the things i said while i slept.
"Today we are blood-typing!" Mr. Banner announces, though I'm only partly listening.
A new ghost suddenly appeared, with half its face gone and the other half charred, is holding a large knife, and tracing the window with its blade.
Oddly enough, no one seems to notice the fact that miniscule cracks are appearing in the glass.
It's confusing; no one can see the ghosts, no one can see the things that they're holding, but can anyone but me see the marks in the glass?
Maybe they can't.
But could a ghost actually kill someone?
The thought of that makes me extremely dizzy, and so I rest my head on my desk.
"Bella? Do you need to go to the nurse? You're looking a bit dizzy," Mr. Banner's voice seems far away as I watch the ghost carve a young girl's death perhaps mine into the window.
There's no chance that anyone can see that is there?
"Is it the blood?" Mr. Banner questions.
"Um yes " I answer, my voice faint-sounding.
"Angela will help you to the nurse then," he says, and I stand on wobbly knees.
I walk without leaning on Angela too much, and once we're outside I simply slump against the sidewalk, resting my cheek against the cool cement.
"Bella?" I hear a voice shout.
Is it ?
Why ?
"What's wrong is she hurt?" Edward demands.
"It's blood-typing " Angela's small voice explains. "She didn't prick her finger, but "
No wonder Edward skipped class; blood and vampires don't mix, I'm guessing.
"Bella?" Edward sounds worried. "Can you hear me?"
"No," I moan, squeezing my eyes shut tighter. "Go away."
Edward laughs.
He laughs.
"I'll take her to the nurse," Edward offers.
"Thank you," Angela replies, and then I hear her walk away.
Suddenly, I'm lifted off the ground.
My eyes pop open.
"Put me down!" I order, weakly, though.
"You look awful," he comments.
Well, gee, thanks!
"Put me back on the sidewalk!" I groan.
Truthfully, though, I'm glad that Edward's here, because the ghosts have vanished.
"You faint at the sight of blood," Edward chuckles.
No! I faint at the sight of an 'invisible' ghost with an 'invisible' knife in its hand! It has nothing to do with blood!
"And not even your own blood " he smiles.
"Oh, my!" Mrs. Cope gasps when we enter the office.
"She fainted in Biology. Blood-typing," Edward explains smoothly. "She's just a little faint."
"There's always one " Mrs. Hammond, the nurse, murmurs.
It has nothing to do with blood! Though I guess it would be odd if I fainted when we weren't doing blood-typing
"Just lie down for a minute," Mrs. Hammond orders. "It'll pass."
I obey, lying awkwardly on the cot.
"Does this happen often?" she asks.
I nod.
Sure it does
"I'll get you an ice pack," Mrs. Hammond says.
I turn to Edward as she does so. "You were right."
"I usually am. But about what in particular this time?"
"Ditching is healthy," I sigh. "And how did you see me? I thought you ditched?"
"I was listening to a CD in my car," he explains.
"Here's an ice pack dear," Mrs. Hammond interrupts us as she presses a cool compress onto my forehead.
I sit, pulling the compress off. "I'm fine."
Mrs. Hammond is about to protest, but another kid is dragged in by Angela.
"I don't need this," I say, handing the compress to Mrs. Hammond.
"Get out of the office Bella," Edward orders, his voice sounding slightly strained.
I do, considering the fact that Edward is a vampire and there is a fine line of blood trickling down the kid's arm.
"You actually listened to me," Edward says, sounding shocked, once we get into the office.
Yeah, because vampire + blood = disaster.
"I smelled the blood," I lie.
"People can't smell blood," Edward says as if he knew i was lying.
And people also can't see ghosts But i could...
"I can," I state. "Oh " I groan, trying to change the subject. "I have gym next."
"I'll take care of that," Edward says. "Go sit down and look pale."
On my long trek to the chair, I smile slightly.
a/n dont forget to review, next chapter is all me.
