Poisoned Rose

Chapter 12- second nature.

*Bella's POV*

As my eyes peeled open I didn't feel tired strangely enough. My dreams had been taken over by Edward, once again. I slept all night without waking up. Obviously I didn't automatically race out of bed like they do in movies; I wasn't fully awake, just yet. When I did get up their was certainly a spring in my step. I carefully fixed my hair and applied make up to my pale face. After a quick glance out of my window I decided on full length jeans, long sleeved top and a hoodie. Once again the weather was cold and wet. The weather didn't't get me down either. My life was finally starting to get on track. I laughed gently to the sound of Edward snoring softly; He slept like a baby without a doubt.

I thought my life was going to be perfect. I thought everything was finally going my way for a change. Once again I was wrong.

*Edwards POV*

''Who's Jane'' Bella's voice attacked me, waking me violently from my slumber. Terror took over my body and I shivered at her name.

''What?'' I questioned quickly, giving me more time to think and come up with new lies.

''Jane, don't pretend you don't know Edward.'' He voice was weaker now but still just as angry.

''Just an old friend, I haven't seen her for ages.'' I lied, quickly.

''If you haven't seen her for ages then why has this letter come today?'' She asked throwing a brown, opened envelope at me. I ignored her question and unfolded the letter. Range was in my eyes as I read the letter. A letter filled with lies, saying I was in a relationship with her and was planning on moving away with her. I couldn't look at her because the truth was just as bad as the lie.

''Bella I can explain.'' I was playing with time. I sat up slowly, each movement belonged the agony.

''You go ahead and explain then, go on humour me.'' She snarled shooting daggers at me. I couldn't bare to look at her face. Guilt pounded through my veins. Lying normally came second nature to me so why was my mind completely blank today? No excuse felt stronger enough to cover this up.

''There is a simple explanation for all of this and we will laugh about it tomorrow.'' I started giving me more time to think, clearing my thoughts.

''I'm all ears!' She shot at me again.

''Look she was a really old friend and I will use the term friend lightly. She used to have this thing for me,'' I began, the lies started to come rolling in.

''A thing?'' Bella asked, interrupting me.

''Bella please don't interrupted me.'' I smiled trying to lightening the mood, although it didn't even begin to create even a faint smile of her. ''Anyway, she liked me, too much for my liking and…''

''Wait, when was the 'thing' going on?'' She quoted ignoring my earlier statement.

''Back in phoenix when I turned fifteen, she started to like me, like I said,'' I mumbled.

''Why didn't you tell me?'' She asked, tilting her head to the side, still trying to figure me out.

''I didn't want to worry you and anyway it wasn't that much of a problem.'' I tried to sound convincing.

''We shared everything, I thought.'' She sounded disappointed.

''Anyway, I told her I didn't want a relationship but she wouldn't have it. She tried and tried and tried for ages, that's why I decided to move.'' I muttered, regretting what I had just said no sooner than I had said it.

''You said you moved because of you parents.'' Her voice was full of confusion.

''It was partly. Anyway she must of found me again. Well she did. The day before my funny turn when I became ill as you put it, that's when I saw her again. She begged for a chance with her but I told her straight no!'' My story fitted together so nicely it started to scare me a little.

''So all those walks you had, you was seeing her?'' She asked louder than normal, anger was still lurking in her voice.

''No that was the only time I saw her.'' I spoke clearly and as strongly as I could.

''So the letter, how does that fit in?'' Bella asked, calmly.

''Bella, she'd do anything to split us up, anything. Obviously she is jealous that I have found you. Please don't let her ruin us.'' I almost begged.

''I want to speak to her.'' She demanded, I wasn't expecting this.

''Why? Don't you believe me.'' I tried to guilt trip her.

''I want to tell her to back of.'' She made her point clear.

''it's a waste of time, she won't listen.'' I added.

''She will listen all right!'' She warned, with a nod. ''I'm going to work.'' She added and walked out saying nothing else.

I needed to do something about Jane and James, that was one thing I had clear. I was completely fuming that they would do such a thing. Why would they go to those extremes? I grabbed my mobile phone, Bella had bought me a few months back, and dialled James number and prepared to meet them in the alley. I wasn't scared anymore.

The alley was as cold and dark as it was any other day. The cracked walls were dry and dusty and any movement looked like they would completely collapse. Jane and James were already waiting for me. With smirks overwhelming their faces.

''Edward.'' James started like any other day.

''Lets cut the chitchat and get straight to the reason I'm here shall we?'' My tone was fiercer than I imagined.

''And what's the reason you are here then Edward?'' Jane asked playing with me.

''I think you know somehow.'' I replied in the same tone.

''Do we?'' James asked.

''Don't mess me around. The letter.'' I reminded them, joining their game.

''Why didn't you say that in the first place.'' James laughed sarcastically as he blonde, pulled back hair blew out of place.

''Well…'' I demanded answers.

''Well what?'' James snarled, getting slowly irritated by my tone. '' I think your forgetting something. You can't say anything to us, we hold too much against you. We can make you world come crashing down on you.'' James reminded me.

''But I haven't spoke badly to you before and look where it got me. You will black mail me whatever I do, so I might as well give you a reason.'' I got stronger through out my sentence.

''How modest, how pathetic. Poor little you. Your right though. You portrayed me. This is war.'' James spat.

''Yeah and I'll fight back all the way.'' I yelled, making my echo sound evil.

''And you'll lose. We have everything against you. Everything. Don't forget that.'' He chuckled to his own amusement. I could see Jane out of the corner of my eye smiling at James.

''We'll see.'' I whispered, before walking of. I heard the chuckles get quieter as I walked further down the alley. Anger filled my body. Once again had come of stronger; once again I was reminded of how much they had against me; once again I realised the power they held over me. I was loosing the fight. A fight I was willing to fight. I'd do it for Bella…

A/N: I hope my writing isn't sloppy. There is two reason if there is.

Number one I haven't wrote properly for a week and I'm very upset about been back home

Number two I really want this story finished because I have brilliant (even if I do say so myself) ideas for my next story. This doesn't mean I'm going to rush this story though. I don't know If I like the outcome of this chapter, let me know what you think. The reason I don't like the outcome is purely because I know how writers block! Grr. Mildly annoying. My birthday is in two days… wait I have already said that. Ok I'm rambling. Bye.

Please review.;)and don't forget to answer those in first A/N

Have a good day/evening/whatever.

=]Oh and did I mentions its my Birthday on 01/08/11(1st August!)
