Chapter six: pent up annoyance
Epov
After Bella and her coven decided to stay the rest of the week passed uneventfully. Alice had a vision that the teacher would not be back until Wednesday of next week. Words could not describe the exuberance of knowing Bella was in the same house . . . of course happiness only lasted for a little while more like the first four days by Friday I had never yearned for sleep more.
Flashback
Monday night
I walked up to the floor where Bella's room was; glad it was on the same floor as mine. I paused as I started to hear Alice's thoughts wonder why Bella doesn't like Edward; Jasper said her feelings were guilty and plain fiery annoyance. Why? Bella is not making any sense maybe I should go to her room and talk to her. I wonder if she would let me dress her up maybe that blue . . . I realized that Alice and Jaspers room was also on the same floor I quickly headed to my bedroom and started my stereo system my last breath by evanescence came on. I softly hummed to the song and decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Bella come on! You can tell me anything why do you not like Edward?" yes I came in at the right part with Alice talking. I saw through Alice's eyes Bella fall backwards onto the bed. "Alice! . . . I don't want to talk about it the reason is personal and I still need to think through everything! I just do not want to talk about it ok?" I wonder why Bella does not want to talk about it. I still don't get what annoys me about her. Plus she seemed totally fine tonight in the forest (my heart cringed). The only thing I could figure out was that Bella has major mood swings.
"Bella" Alice used in a warning tone. "If you do not tell me I will force you into Bella Barbie" Alice was grinning she sure knew how to get what she wanted out of Bella. In Alice's mind Bella cringed and a look of horror crossed her face. I suppressed the urge to laugh hysterically. Bella gave in then "ok! Ok! Fine Alice! I don't like him because of the way he walks" The way I walk? What was wrong with the way I walk? "The way he walks? Bella seriously!? And you must be into him if you are watching so intently on the way he walks" Alice giggled. "Ugh! No the way he walks is like that he owns the world and everything on it! And he thinks he looks so gorgeous when he isn't and oh it just gets me so frustrated!" I was appalled and hurt. I looked through Alice's mind again and saw Bella was looking to the side as if hoping Alice would ask nothing else. "Bella, Edward is the one who can read minds." "Alice I know that I just ugh! I don't know anymore just please leave!" "OK! Fine Bella but trust me we will do Bella Barbie"
I got off my bed and went to Bella's door just as Alice was coming out. Alice got a dazed look in her eyes I looked into her mind and saw what Bella's reaction would be. Oh this was going to be fun. Alice rolled her eyes and walked away.
I knocked on Bella's door. "Alice! I said I did not want to talk anymore! Good grief!" I was smiling when she opened the door. "Oh", she said when she opened it "it's only you" her voice was trying to be friendly but I could hear the acid that trickled almost unwillingly through it.
I remembered Alice's thoughts from earlier, guilt had been one the feelings Bella was harboring. I smiled and said "Hey. Only me here just wondering what you did with the room. I heard Esme earlier ask if you wanted anything done with it." Bella looked surprised I knew, as for an answer she opened the door and gestured me in. I tried to walk without getting her disapproval, but when I turned around she had just rolled eyes and she closed the door. I stuffed my hands in my pockets forgetting what to do then I looked around her room.
The room itself was still its original color; a 1900s ivory white, the wall opposite of the door was the glass floor length windows, pushed to the middle of the left wall was a black and white bed set, with the same ivory white of a vanity on the left of the bed, on the right of the bed were five guitars, and on the right wall was a bookcase that held as much books as I had in my in my CD case, right beside it were some school like lockers that were open and probably contained twenty notebooks and drawing pads on the last locker was written MEMOIRS.
Bella caught my attention again once I stopped looking; she was twirling a piece of hair around her finger dangerously tight. I went over and pulled her arm down not wanting her to make that spot go bald. She smiled nervously "Alice went shopping be glad you don't have to see the closet" she laughed nervously fidgeting with the pocket in her jeans. Huh? This is not going like Alice's vision wonder why? I was just about to leave when I remembered something. "Bella?" "Yeah" I was nervous about saying this but oh well "about earlier today could you not mention it" "sure Cullen I won't mention it" ahh . . . here it was. The mood swing was coming. "Bella? Thank you" she looked at me with curious eyes, "for earlier today, thank you for helping me." I smiled at her and watched her eyes turn into daggers. "Whatever now please leave my room before . . ." I was trying to keep from cracking up sure it was dry humor but her kitten temper was really amusing. "UGH! JUST GET OUT NOW!" She shoved me out the door where I fell, jokingly to the floor and sat down. I looked up to see Alice glaring at me with a sense of amusement in her eyes. "Why do you insist on torturing her Edward" "Because, I don't understand her and she is hell of a lot more fun to annoy then Emmet" Alice just rolled her eyes and walked away.
*End of flashback*
Ok so at the time it seemed really funny but now I questioned why I even did it and then tried again the next day.
Day two:
Bella was actually talking to me today about music. She had been writing lyrics since her human and just recently learned to play the guitar-by teaching herself.
But in the middle of us talking about music Alice barged in and said we were going to sing together tonight I had looked and Bella and seen that her face had held the same expression as mine, bewilderment and frightened. (A/N: I had wished to make this chapter longer but my computer upchucked and lost all of my work I had done so sorry.) Later that night Bella and I had to sing I had asked her if she was nervous and she had responded with a slight jerky nod. Pretty soon we had to sing together after Alice had bounded down and called everyone else to come down too. I started out with my piano and her with her guitar a few seconds later.
(My song I wrote this please no one copy it would make me very sad):
It seems so long ago
So very long ago
We said goodbye
And left we left each other that same night
I've been crying all these all these
A relentless flow of dry tears
I have no more left to cry
Chorus:
I have never stopped thinking of you
Never stopped wondering when I do something what you would do
I would never leave again
Such a very good friend
I would never
I would never
So strong above the surface
But my spirit is deteriorating endless
I throw out a shield
A sword above my head I wield
Keeping out everyone
Not wanting to betray as I felt I have done
Chorus
I would never stop searching for you
Never stop not knowing what to do
I would search world
For an endless forever
I would never
I could never
No I couldn't
Stop
By the end of the song it felt as if Bella and I were the only ones in the room, until Emmet wolf whistled and the room erupted into applause and Bella's eyes were torn from mine. To go and hunt she said and I did not realize until she left that Alice had video taped the whole thing and Esme took pictures.
*end flashback*
Then the day afterwards Bella and I hardly talked except for one conversation.
We were sitting through another dance class-Alice had said the teacher would not be back until next Wednesday. I was looking down at a pair of shoes Alice bought me when Bella said "I used to have a friend a couple years back who called those grandpa shoes." She said this with a smile. "They're moccasins I had responded, Bella just shrugged and went back to her new book and to ignoring me.
*End Flashback*
Then yesterday had happened, making me wish feverishly that pain pills and sleeping pills could work on vampires.
Day four
I walked out side to see Bella swimming in the relatively calm river. I sat down and watched for a while wondering if she was still ignoring me. So I finally asked "What you doing?" "Swimming what does it look like" I just stood there amazed that she had answered that quickly even Emmet could not do that. She continued "though I am considering drowning I guess you could try to save me but I warn you, you might get hurt" she said with a tantalizing smile. I just smiled back she couldn't hurt me so I took off my shirt and watched her try and control her facial expression when I started taking off my pants-I wore no shoes-her expression was hilarious when she finally saw I was wearing swimming trunks underneath. "Alice said I might need them" I said. Bella just shrugged and went back to swimming while I waited patiently on the edge to go and save her. Finally she slipped under the water and I could see her figure pretend to struggle under the water and she even let out a few bubbles of air to the surface. I jumped in and 'saved' her and while holding her parallel to my chest she was still thrashing around and kneed me in the groin!.
After we got back to the house I learned that Emmet had dared her to make me save her. Needless to say I still hurt.
*end flashback*
As I lay on the couch in my room I heard a knock at the door I looked up to see Bella at the doorway looking so timid I could almost laugh. I could almost hear the tenor of her thoughts and I suspected it took a lot of mental capability not to let her thoughts snap straight back to where she was a mental mute. "Edward are you ok? I never really got to apologize for doing Emmet's dare." "No don't worry it's ok I am completely fine." "Oh ok. Edward can I ask you something?" "Sure" "I fee-"Bella suddenly stopped and I watched as she fell to the floor. I watched unsure for a few seconds before I yelled for Alice. "ALICE! COME HERE QUICK!" Alice came into the room quickly concern and bewilderment etched on her face when she saw Bella on the floor.
