Bad to the Bones
Chapter 7
"I..." He tried to say something but it didn't come out.
"Do you always watch on other people's phone?" His voice sounded angry but his eyes were saying something different. The posture that he posted wasn't self-confident at all. He looked week, he was week. He was just trying to get himself out of the problems by getting mad at me.
"Yes I always do that. Do you have a problem with it?" Now it was my turn to play the game. Edward had leaded this game for long enough now.
"I didn't know that The Edward Cullen had any feelings at all. Who knew Edward wasn't so bad after all?" I started to laugh.
"The bad boy has a soft site." It only made me laugh even harder. I knew I was being mean but it was my pay back. He was getting angrier every second I stayed laughing.
"Shut up!" He yelled it through the house. I instantly stopped laughing; he looked at me with terror what made me afraid. I took a few steps back but Edward did everything in my opposite, so he took a few steps forward.
"I thought you were different Bella." I could hear all of his feelings in his voice. It was all his own fault and I had to let him know.
"You made me like this Edward." For a few seconds it was quiet.
"You are blaming me for this?" He yelled it right in my face. I could feel the tears burn in my eyes.
"Bella, you are just like all the other girls throwing yourself into my arms." I couldn't get it anymore. My arm swung through the air and hit his face.
"I can't believe that I actually felt for you, Edward." I took my things and walked out of the house leaving Edward alone. At the moment he couldn't become a bigger ash. Who did he thought he was? I wasn't throwing myself into his arms. He knew I liked him but this was going way too far. I had absolutely no idea how I was getting home. Slowly a few tears dropped down along my face.
"Are you okay?" A soft voice said. I looked up; some guy was looking at me. In his eyes you could see he was concerned about me. A little smile appeared in my face.
"Edward is a jerk." He began to laugh.
"I already thought this was coming. You're Bella right?" I nodded.
"I am Jacob, his driver." We shook hands, he looked very nice. He was the total opposite from Edward. He was warm, soft and sweet.
"Don't be too hard on Edward, he is just lonely. Everybody in his family has always been happy except for him. His youth was tough." I looked at Jacob.
"Wait here for a second." He said when he heard glass breaking in the house. He opened the door and he went slowly inside. Form where I was standing I could see Edward sitting on the ground. His table of glass was lying on the ground. That should have been the noise because everywhere was laying glass. Edward's face was buried in his arms. For a few seconds he let go of his face and a grown came out of his mouth. Over my entire body I felt shivers. He wasn't just yelling. No the grown was full of loneliness, sadness and especially pain. Jacob walked up to Edward, for a few seconds he comforted him.
"Bring Isabelle home." He said. Jacob nodded and walked out of the house.
It was eight o'clock in the evening and Edward wasn't getting out of my head. How could someone have so much pain as he? He looked totally crushed. I had to get him out of my mind. I defiantly had to forget him. I had to move on, for my own sake. Jacob and I both didn't speak in the car. I was totally shocked of what I had seen.
It was Wednesday. Yesterday Edward didn't go to school but today his car was parked on the parking lot, so I figured he would be in school today. When I walked through the corridors there was nothing strange going on. So I just walked to my first lesson, geography. There was only one irritation point about it; Edward was also in that lesson.
"Bella, how are you?" It was Jacob. What was he doing here?
"I am good." A big smile appeared on his face.
"Why are you here?" His eyes searched my face.
"Haven't you heard?" What did he mean?
"Heard what?" I asked him.
"Yesterday Edward got beaten up. He broke his arm and now he isn't able to drive." A bit of a laugh escaped his mouth. It seemed like he thought it was funny. I also began to laugh. We looked at each other for few seconds, but we got disturbed by the bell.
"This is my clue." He nodded and walked away. When I was standing in the classroom, I couldn't see Edward but there were tons of girls standing in the back. A feeling in me said that Edward was sitting there. As always I sat next to Angela, she had arrived.
"Don't you find it funny what happened to Edward?" Angela looked up from here book.
"I don't know. At least he can't say anything arrogant about his face. Well just for a few weeks." Angela said.
"What is with his face?" I tried to look through all the girls to get a look form Edward.
"He has a few cuts." My eyes went big when she said that.
"Let's hope he learned his lesson." The last sentence she said is very low.
"Who did it?"
"Don't know." At the exact same moment the teacher appeared in the classroom.
"What is all that in the back? All of you go sit on your own places." With that I saw Edward, but he wasn't looking at me. From the other end of the classroom I could still see how badly is face was looking. His face was a bit bigger than normal and there were four scars of the cuts.
"I am sure; it wasn't your best day yesterday, Edward."
"I had worse." He said those words and then he looked at me. As fast as I was I looked away, keeping my eyes on my book.
For the rest of the lesson I didn't look at Edward, but I felt his eyes burn into my back. I didn't know how long this lesson was during but it felt like almost a day. When the class ended I almost ran out the classroom leaving Edward and Angela behind me.
"He Phoenix." It was Mike again. That puppy really started to annoy me. Couldn't he find a hobby or something?
"Mike," I tried to say it as nice as possible. "How has your day been?" I asked.
"Great, I am totally happy about what happened to Edward. Let's hope he finally learned his lesson." The footsteps we heard behind us stopped.
"Do tell your opinion Mike. We all want to know very badly." Mike and I turned around. Edward was standing in front of us with Alec and their friends. Now I could see his face even better. It looked horrible; I didn't know who to describe it otherwise.
"Edward." Was the only thing I said, but Edward ignored me.
"Well Mike are you not so tough when others are around, I see." Alec said those words when Mike had no idea what he had to say. Edward and Mike kept looking at each other with terror. I figured that it would be fighting I didn't get one of the two out of here.
"Edward, go away." Eventually he looked at me.
"Why? Are you scared that I would do something to your dear Mike?" I took a few steps forward, now I was just standing a few inches away from him.
"How are you going to do that exactly Edward? The only one I see is a pore injured guy." His eyes went dark.
"I would be careful with that big mouth of yours. Especially after what those eyes of yours have seen already." He was right, I had to be careful but at the moment I didn't care at all.
"Bring it on." Our eyes were staring into each other for a few seconds but Edward broke the stare.
"The hungergames just started." I nodded and dragged Mike out of the corridor to our next class.
"What are hungergames?" Mike asked.
"I have absolutely no idea. But I am afraid I well find out soon."
And I was right the next day pictures of me when I was little through the whole school. I had absolutely no idea what I had to do to make him pay. Something inside of me ordered to do some things with accident that happened three days ago. It would be the ultimate revenge but I doubted if it wasn't going too far.
"He Bella how are you?" I turned and there was he standing my lifesaver, Jacob.
"Look around what Edward did." He nodded.
"If I can do anything for you just ask." A grin appeared on my face.
"Would you like to go on a date with me?" Jacob's eyes became big but I didn't think I was the one who to blame. His eyes weren't on me but something behind me, or better said someone. I turned and there he was standing right in front of me, Edward himself. His eyes were so dark that I couldn't see the green colour anywhere. I swallowed; I didn't know if this is going to end well. His arm swung through the air and took hold of my chin.
"What?" He yelled into my face. I almost didn't dear to answer.
"Edward relax, she only asked to get back at you. There is nothing serious going on."
"You shut up!" He yelled at Jacob.
"You are not going to date anyone, you hear me? Not as long as you are living in this village. And you Jacob if you dear to come close to her ever again, I am going to kill you." He let go of my chin and walked to Jacob.
"Stop it Edward." My voice was low. There wasn't any emotion in my voice. My eyes were staring but not seeing anything. Everybody was quiet.
"I want you to stop now, it's been enough." I took Jacob hand and walked away.
"So you want to go on a date for real?" He laughed and nodded. For the last time I looked over my shoulder to Edward. His expression was nothing but pain, pain he was having over me.
