Sorry I couldn't update yesterday. I think I've watched the teaser trailer at least 50 times!!
Edwards POV
"What the hell are you doing here?" I heard Bella say, I turned around and saw her standing next to the bed, holding something behind her back.
"Excuse me?" I asked confused, what was she talking about?
"I said, what the hell are you doing here," she repeated again. I didn't really know how to reply to that.
"I was just making sure you woke up okay," I couldn't just leave her, especially after her emotional breakdown.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I noticed she wasn't wearing her hat, I could see her beautiful chestnut hair spiralling down her back. It was the first time I saw all of her face and her hair.
"Don't you remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Earlier you had a panic attack in Biology, so I took you home and you kind of collapsed on me earlier," Her face was still confused. "Do you seriously not remember?"
"I don't know have a fuck what you're talking about, Cullen. But you need to leave. Now," I was stunned as she said this and slowly walked from her room. Bella followed me all the way down the stairs and locked the front door as I left. I got into my silver Volvo in a complete daze. What had just happened? I drove back to my house in a state of shock and confusion. Emmett and Alice weren't back from school yet, so I decided to go and pick them up as well as Rosalie and Jasper. I waited for fifteen minutes before the school building erupted with bustling students making their way home.
Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and Alice got into the Volvo shortly afterwards. I tried to drown out their babbling conversations, as I drove out of the parking lot I saw Bella's Audi and quickly stopped the car.
"What's the hold up?" Emmett asked.
"Alice, I need you to do me a favour," I explained to her about taking Bella home and that I promised her that Alice would bring the car back for her. Alice immediately obliged and I gave her the keys which I got from Bella earlier. I followed her all the way to Bella's house and she got in afterwards.
I decided I was going to talk to Carlisle about Bella, how could she forget what happened? I don't think I could forget the way she cried in my arms, the way she tried to scream out all of her pain, the way I felt whole in her arms.
I dropped of Rosalie and Jasper, leaving just Emmett and Alice in the car. Why was I stuck with the two most loud and annoying people as siblings? Their conversation became louder and more difficult for me to block out.
Once we had arrived home, I raced up to my bedroom and put on some music. I laid on my bed with my mind constantly wandering back to Bella. I heard a knock on the door, can't they just leave me alone?
"What!" I shouted. Alice opened the door and entered my bedroom, what does she want now? She closed the door and sat on the end of my bed that I was laying on.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked.
"Fine," I said turning off the stereo to listen to whatever she had to say.
"You know earlier today at lunch, I had that vision?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, I saw Bella kind of crying in your arms and I didn't really want to say anything,"
"And you didn't tell me?"
"I didn't think it was a good idea to tell you,"
"Why not?"
"Come on, if I told you about my vision, you would of tried to stop it and I didn't even know what she was crying about. Why was she so upset anyway?"
"I don't really know, she just started crying, so I just comforted her. After a while she kind of fell asleep so I took her upstairs to her room. But then when she woke up she didn't even remember it! It was like it didn't happen and then she just told me to leave,"
"She didn't remember it?"
"No, I don't think she even knew why I there in the first place, she doesn't even remember her panic attack in Biology!"
"Maybe you should talk to Dad about it,"
"Yeah, I'm going to,"
"You still going on that date with Lauren?" I groaned very loudly as she said that.
"Crap, I forgot,"
"Please can you just dump that stupid bitchwhore?" I knew Alice hated Lauren as much as I did. The only reason I was going out with her because she was hot but then again it was just the plastic surgery and make-up that created the illusion.
"Yeah, I'm going to dump her tonight,"
"That's good to hear," The room went silent for a few moments, I knew Alice hated it when conversations just died.
"You really like her don't you?"
"Who?"
"Bella, of course,"
"No, why would you say that?"
"Come on! You're obviously hung up about her, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out," I was left speechless, it couldn't be that obvious, could it? I mean I didn't even know myself if I liked her. I just yearned to comfort and unlock the strange mystery surrounding her. With that, Alice left me alone with my raging thoughts. So what if I did like Bella? There's nothing wrong with that. Well there is when you're dating some cheerleader. Oh God Lauren.
I laid on my bed and started daydreaming. Bella had such a beautiful face I wonder why she didn't show it off more, and her hair! Did I mention her lip-ring? I'm normally not into body-piercings but my god I was into them now.
"Edward it's ten to seven, you have to pick up the bitchwhore in ten minutes!" I heard Alice call out. Where did the time go? I got ready at a slow pace, who cared if I was late? This was the last date I happily thought. I picked her up a good twenty minutes late and she didn't seem too happy.
"Where have you been Eddie, I've been standing out here in the freezing cold!" she sqeaked at me as she go into the Volvo.
"You couldn't waited inside," I pointed out to her.
"That's besides the point!" Oh is it? I ignored her while she kept ranting to me. I couldn't wait til this was all over. Then I would finally be free. We pulled up to Forks Diner, the only restaurant in Forks, and went inside. Lauren said she needed to go to the bathroom, so I sat down on the table by myself. I began looking through the menus, hmm the mushroom ravioli looks good. Better than the crap they serve at the school cafeteria.
"What can I get you?" I heard someone say, I assumed it was the waitress.
"I'm not ready to order yet, thanks," I raised my head when I finished. None other than Bella was standing in front of me with a notepad and pen. She was wearing a black top that said Forks Diner and black trousers. We made eye contact for a few moments before she looked down at her notepad.
"Okay, I'll come back later," she quickly said. She tried to walk away but I grabbed her arm. I felt a strange electric surge run through me when I touched her. I didn't want her to go again, but I needed something to say to her and fast.
"Did you get your car back okay?" I said, it was the first thing that popped into my mind.
"Yes, tell Alice thank you, if you'll excuse me," she pulled her arm away from me and walked off. More of a mystery every second. What was with that electricity? She must of felt it aswell. It was amazing. It was like everything felt better now after holding her again. Lauren unfortunately came back from the bathroom and started babling again. I studied her face, it was obvious that she has added a few layers of make-up on her face.
I decided to watch Bella who started to clean a few tables, she then seemed reluctant to come to our table.
"What can I get you?" Bella said, she just stared at the menus avoiding looking at me or Lauren.
"Eww, there's that goth, tell her to go away Eddie," Lauren said. Here we go again, judgmental bitch who thinks you're a goth if you wear black.
"Yeah, Eddie, do you want me to go away?" Never, I wanted to say. I kept my mouth shut and just stared at her. She was smiling while looking at her notepad. Her smile was so breathtaking I forgot how to think for a moment. Unfortunately Lauren ruined my personal heaven.
"Eddie?"
"What?" I looked at the menu, yeah that mushroom ravioli does look good. "I'll have the mushroom ravioli please."
"I'll have a salad and hurry up I don't want it to get cold." Warm salads now? How stupid was she? And who gave her the right to insult Bella like that?
"Why do you do that Lauren?"
"Do what?"
"Why are you such a bitch towards people you don't even know?"
"Oh come on, everyone knows she's a goth,"
"What because she wears black?"
"Duh," she said, she took out some lip balm from her purse and started to apply it to her lips. She then started yapping about which colour looked best on her, whether yellow or orange eye shadow looks better on her. Please spare me from this torture!
"Look, I don't think we should do this anymore," I quickly said when Lauren paused for a second.
"Do what?"
"Date,"
"Oh okay whatever," she obviously didn't catch my drift, so I had to make it very clear to her.
"I'm breaking up with you Lauren,"
"What the hell! You can't break up with me, I'm LAUREN MALLORY for god's sake, NO ONE dumps Lauren Mallory," Lauren screamed at me.
"Well, err, Lauren Mallory, I just did," I replied. I tried to hide my laughter at "I'm LAUREN MALLORY", so what if you're Lauren Mallory?
"Why? Is there someone else?"
"I think there is," My heart flipped as Bella placed our down on the table. How could I say speak of the devil when she was an angel?
"Is there anything else I can get you guys?"
"No, thank you," I replied. Lauren surprisingly remained silent. After Bella left, Lauren soon left aswell. Finally, I thought. Free at last.
I ate my mushroom ravioli in peace watching Bella again as she worked. After I had finished, Bella came over with the check and she picked up my empty plate and Lauren's full bowl of salad. That's the only thing Lauren would eat, it was probably the only thing that the majority of the girls at our school ate.
"Thank you, Bella," I said smiling at Bella, my heart flipped again as she smiled back.
"No problem," Bella replied. She started to leave again but I couldn't help myself so I stopped her again.
"Wait," I said. She thankfully turned around and looked at me as I stood up.
"Do you wanna sit with us again tomorrow?" I said looking hopeful at her.
"Sure," Bella told me. She headed back to the kitchen with my plate and Lauren's bowl. I stood in a daze for a few moments before leaving Forks Diner. I drove home still able to feel the strange electricity pulsing through me. Before I could even open the front door, Alice asked me whether I had dumped Lauren.
"Couldn't you already see that I dumped her?"
"Well, yeah but it's better to hear it from you,"
"Yeah, I did,"
"How was Bella?"
"Huh? How did you-"
"Duh, pyschic remember,"
"Yeah, she's fine,"
"Don't forget to talk to Dad,"
"Oh yeah thanks for reminding me,"
"What are pixies for?" Alice said heading up the stairs. I went to the fridge and decided to have a soda. I dumped my coat on the sofa and went to Carlisle's office while gulping down the Mountain Fizz.
"Hey, Dad, can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked opening the door gently.
"Of course, what's up?" he said, gesturing to the chair in front of his desk. I sat down and began to explain.
"Well, there's this new girl at our school called Bella Sparrow,"
"She's living with the Chief isn't she?" Only a town this small would have the inhabitants know everything about each other.
"Yeah, I think so," I moved in my seat slightly. "Today she, erm, had a panic attack in Biology,"
"Is she okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, she's fine," I cleared my throat. "After she had the panic attack, she fainted and I took her to the nurse," Carlisle gave me a questioning look probably wondering why I took her to the nurse. "She's my lab partner," I explained. "She woke up fine and everything so I took her back to the Chiefs house and well she started crying and she then fell asleep. But when she woke up, she forgot everything, she didn't even know why I was in her room!"
"What do you mean everything?"
"She didn't remember that I took her home and she couldn't even remember the panic attack she had earlier,"
"Hmm, she maybe trying to repress a memory,"
"Repress a memory?"
"Yes, people's memories often trigger panic attacks when the certain circumstance arises. So when she forgot everything, it was her unconsciousness that completely blocked out the memory of her having the panic attack, so she won't remember why she had the panic attack in the first place. Therefore she won't remember the trigger that caused the panic attack, unless the certain circumstance rearises in the future," I took a while to absorb all of the information before finally thanking my dad and then going back to my room.
So, Bella was trying to repress a memory. What memory? What was the trigger? We were about to do blood-testing, so she might not like needles? I didn't find that very likely, not many people having panic attacks over needles. Testing? She may of had a bad experience she got tested for something? What about just blood? That must be it. Blood was the trigger, but why?
I kept trying to figure other triggers and reasons why Bella had the panic attack. I soon drifted off to sleep after an eventful day.
