Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or Feeling Sorry For Celia.
I had a slip.
"Jacob." I groaned, as we sat on the porch, the sky sunny, and lovely as it should be on a Sunday, yet it was still freezing, so while Jacob sat next to me calm and what not in only his thin t-shirt and jeans, I was there, wrapped up in a small blanket, shivering. I liked it.
After showing Jacob the ultrasound picture and yelling at him for showing up unannounced, a sit outside was necessary, but the mood as just getting worse.
"I just think you need to spend more time with me." He sighed, giving my knee nudge.
"And I don't disagree with you." I nodded, hugging the blanket closer to me and gazing out at the empty street. I wanted to think I was telling the truth, and I wanted to believe it with all my heart. But since Friday, nothing about me was the same, or at least the same way I thought about Edward.
And it definitely was the reason I wasn't picking up Jake's phone calls. Edward must have done something satanic to my brain, because our friendship was all I could think about, and how he kissed me- oh how he kissed me, friends don't just passionately kiss each other right. I stopped thinking about it abruptly, when Jake put his hand on my knee gently.
"That's all I'm saying Bells." Jake smiled a warm smile, that I would like to call my smile. The pang of guilt I felt for thinking about Edward while I was with Jacob made me want to vomit, then punch myself. I indeed was a monster.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you." I frowned up at him, and he brushed his lips against my cheek.
"Its okay. I deserved it." He laughed lightly, his lips parting a bit. I leaned in and brushed my lips against his, he was my boyfriend and all, and I as doing everything wrong as I kissed him.
I compared each single touch to Edward's.
And there was nothing in comparison to Edward's
I pulled away from Jacob, claiming I had to breathe and he smirked obviously satisfied with himself, as he turned to gaze back at the empty street. I love Jake, or least I think I do, but he's my best friend before anything and losing him would be hell on my part. But I knew this wasn't right, it wasn't suppose to be like this.
Its suppose to be friends nothing more, nothing less, just friends. Best friends. The guy who could push me around like a brother, and sit and listen to me when I have a problem. That's the Jake I miss. But this Jake, he just wanted love. Not a friendship but a relationship. I could never win with him.
"So would be okay if you picked up my calls from now on?" Jacob shrugged, and I sighed frustrated, I had picked up one of his calls, but was it necessary to call me a billion times a day?
"Jake, I did answer!" I groaned.
"What about Friday, when I called you like 20 times!" Jake yelled incredulously, only making me bubble with more anger, and some more anger.
"I was at the movies Jake." I said through my teethe.
"Oh yeah with who?" He obviously didn't believe me.
"Edward!" I yelled, but immediately put my hand over my mouth. Damn! His eyes grew wide, and livid, he clenched his fist, this was not my Jake.
"Who?" He growled.
"No one." I said in a small voice.
Dear Bella,
This wouldn't be first, nor will this be a last. WE ARE SCARED FOR YOU! For your life! For your children's lives, your children's, children's lives! Your family and friends lives, we even fear for our lives! Please just be quiet, don't speak for about a year, just don't do it. We cant handle the stress of watching out for all the lives you seem to infect with your horrible word vomit. GET HELP, we strongly recommend it!
Sincerely,
ADVICE FOR DUMMIES CLINIC.
"Edward Masen?" Jake barked.
"Yes." I mean come on what other Edward is in this town? Of course my smart remark would only make him more angry, so I kept it to myself. Knowing better.
"How could you do that? How could you-" He cut himself off mid sentence, staring at me with bewildered eyes, dark and angry. "He's my friend!" I defended, feeling a little scared.
"A friend that wants to get into your pants! Not to mention the whole pregnant situation!" Jacob yelled.
"No!" The tears were coming, and I hated it. Why couldn't I just be mad with out crying better yet hurt with out crying, I looked so weak, so fragile. I hated it. It made it look like he won, when really he hadn't, he was far from it.
"Whatever Bella, when he hurts you don't come crying back to me." He got up from the porch steps, and into his car, then drove off. Not once did I beg for him to stay as maybe I should have.
Even though most of the time his was here today we were silent. We were fighting, and it made me hate the idea, of that, whatever Jacob was today, being my best friend. I decided to not fret, and gathered myself quickly, running into the house, and waited on Alice to get back from Tommy's.
Tommy was the male of the day, as he kept good eyes on me while Alice and Kathy were out at some school business. Tommy was a nice enough guy with his curly dark hair and tight skinny jeans, looking identical to Jasper Hale from behind. Lord knows why Tommy volunteered to stay with me, but it was nice of him.
He made good effort to make small talk, and usually we would get hooked into some pointless conversation, but hey who was the loser in this? I was. Because remember I was the pregnant teen with not many friends to run to, it was a privilege to sit next to Tommy on the couch and watch life time movies. Trying to forget about earlier today with Jacob.
"I like your charm bracelet." Tommy noted, and my eyes glanced from the TV to my bracelet quickly.
"Oh, thanks." I smiled slightly.
"Who got you the frog charm?" Tommy asked, seeming genuinely curious, so I went along.
"Katherine, Alice's mom gave it to me." I looked at the little glittery, shiny frog dangling from my bracelet.
"And the ballerina?"
"Oh." I paused to look at the elegant ballerina, silver and all. "My mom gave that to me."
"Sorry." Tommy apologized, knowing well enough my parents disowned me.
"Its okay." I shrugged, letting my eyes linger on the little ballerina.
"It was a joke." I murmured, my voice quiet.
"She had always wanted me to be a ballerina. But being the klutz I am." I laughed lightly along with Tommy.
"She knew this of course. 'You're a ballerina through my eyes'" I quoted my mother, who I missed so much. I missed her more than anything I have ever missed.
I missed the way she would harass the Chinese company when she ordered take out for dinner, I missed her crazy notes in the morning, or the way she would make me tea when I couldn't sleep. She was my best friend just like Alice, and she was my mother most importantly. I had lost both. I felt tears sting at my eyes. I felt Tommy's big hand on my shoulder.
"Its going to be okay Bella. She'll cave." Tommy gave me a reassuring look, and I could see wy Alice loved him so much. I don't know what he exactly meant by 'cave' but it sent reassurance through me, and sometimes that's just enough.
"Thanks Tom." I smiled the warmest I could.
"So how's Edward?" Tommy, glanced back at the TV.
"Um, fine, I guess." I blushed.
"He's a nice guy you know?" Tommy smiled.
"Really?" I laughed.
"Yeah, he isn't half as bad as you think he is." Tommy shrugged.
"I don't think he's that bad." I rolled my eyes.
"Bella, you nicknamed the guy Satan." Tommy chuckled.
"Okay, okay." I laughed, shrugging.
"See." He laughed with me.
Dear Bella,
Please stop and look where you're going. We beg of you to just stop walking and maybe get a wheel chair for the rest of your life. Its actually quiet surprising you aren't in one by now. And to prevent that please, just stop walking completely and hide in the janitors closet. We thought you walking fast was dangerous, well look at you going a normal pace? Its horrifying to watch. Look to your right someone tried to warn you, but your too busy humming to even notice, oh lord its coming, its coming.
Suggestion: Please stop walking Miss Swan.
Love,
Warning And Worried INC.
The school halls weren't so crowded today, and school somehow was becoming more peaceful to me, no one stopped me in the halls to have a pointless chat, like maybe they would say I wasn't pregnant. It looks I was finally seeing the advantages of being pregnant. Yay.
I was on my way to the cafeteria to meet the great Mary Alice, who was gushing about something when I talked to her on the phone not to long ago I still cant see why she didn't just pick me up from class. Because then maybe, I wouldn't have almost died!
I felt my hands go out in front of me automatically, as I tried to balance myself on the slippery tile floor, but I was having no luck. I would much rather fall on my back then on my stomach and have a repeat of the other day at the hospital. Oh but no, god wasn't having that today.
I had gone through too many falls to let this one feel any different so I gave up my intense battle to balance and began to fall forward.
I was caught, after all my praying, today I was finally saved from a fall that may have had me and my baby in the hospital. Two arms wrapped around me holding to what I could confirm was a chest, that was breathing heavy. My relief washed over me, and I relaxed into the strangers chest, breathing heavy myself.
"Oh, my… god. Thank you." I breathed, lifting my head off the strangers chest, and was met with those piercing green eyes. That had me gasping all over again.
"Edward?" I couldn't help but smile, I hadn't seen him since our date on Friday. Even though it had only been two days, it felt like forever. How pathetic was I?
"Hello Bella." He smiled back, his lips looking only so soft and ever so kissable.
"How are you today?" I asked breathlessly, blushing deeply.
"Oh you know me, just saving lives." He chuckled, brushing his lips to my cheek gently, making me blush even deeper. The way it felt just to have his lips on my cheek, made my knees go week.
"Oh I see." I giggled, not even familiar with my voice anymore.
"You look nice today, I meant to tell you that earlier but I had to get to class. One more tardy and I was out." He watched ever feature of my face.
"Thank you Edward." The smile hadn't fallen from my face, and I was feeling weaker than ever
"You know friends don't hold friends like this Edward." I blushed, as I eyed his arms still wrapped tightly around me.
"Oh yeah." He blushed a light shade of pink, and unwrapped him arms from me, setting me steady on my feet.
"Sorry bout that." He apologized looking at his feet.
"Its okay." I laughed lightly, finding the whole thing disgustingly cute.
"Aye yo! Bella!" That booming voice could only belong to the one and only Emmett, I jumped a little, while Edward rolled his eyes at Emmett's grand entrance as he walked to stand beside Edward, a wide grin plastered to his face.
"Hi Emmett." Edward rolled his eyes.
"Ello Eduardo, hello Isabella." Emmett wiggled his eyebrow at us, and I couldn't help but laugh at Emmett's rather long nickname for Edward.
"How dare you." Edward glared at him.
"Hi Emmett." I laughed.
"Well doesn't the Isabella look wonderful today." Emmett picked up my hand and kissed my knuckles, while I blushed and giggled.
"Why thank you Emmett." I blushed.
"Oh yeah thanks Emmett, for stealing my lady." Edward nudged Emmett, and Emmett gasped dramatically. I got a little stuck on the fact that he had actually referred to me as his lady, again another point for pathetic Bella.
"Well maybe the lady prefers me." Emmett raised one eye brow, while I had a another giggle fit.
"Sometimes, I wonder. How many times have you been hit on the head?" Edward poked Emmett's hair. Emmett swatted Edward's hand away.
"Down boy down." Emmett glared, at Edward who had cracked a smile himself.
"And that's my best friend Emmett." Edward laughed gesturing towards Emmett who was bowing.
"Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night!" Emmett said to his imaginary crowd locate behind my shoulder.
"Amazing." I laughed.
"Coach says we have to be there ASAP." Emmett smiled over at Edward.
"Alright thanks man." Edward nodded.
"I'll see you later Bells." Emmett surprisingly captured me in a hug. At first I stiffened, taken by surprised, but hugged him back. And with that he walked off.
"Well I got to go." Edward frowned, as Emmett made his way down the hall.
"I heard. ASAP." I smiled.
"Will I see you soon?" He asked his head tilting the most cutest thing I had ever seen.
"Yes. There's school tomorrow right?" I laughed.
"Well yeah, but I guess I mean later." He chuckled.
"I don't know." I shrugged. He didn't answer, he was just staring at me. His eyes glowing, sparkling even, as he stared into my eyes. I don't know what he saw in them, but I could only imagine him getting bored with my chocolate brown orbs. Nothing got boring while looking into his eyes. It was something I could do forever.
I knew that for fact. The way they just shimmered, as he stared at me, smiling, welcoming and warm. "Hey what about you watch my basketball practice after school?" He breathed, but I couldn't even focus on his words. Those eyes were just beautiful, along with every other part of Edward.
His hair, his lips, his nose, his eyebrows, hell his ears. Everything about him pulled me in, and I don't think I could stay away any longer. If he was doing it on purpose, well it wasn't my fault, and it its simply just happening then I refuse to let it stop. It made me feel giddy, it made me feel absolutely happy for no reason at all.
"I know watching basketball practice sounds lame, but I just- I know I wont be able to talk to you but I need- I-" He stopped mid sentence, never blinking once, and I dare not blink myself. I wouldn't look away if a bus crashed right into the halls at this very moment.
"Yes." I breathed. "I'd love to watch."
He leaned in and brushed his lips against my cheek.
It sent electricity through me.
I compared it to Jacob's kiss for a wild moment.
Edward, had no competition there.
A/N: Tell me what you think of course !
