Chapter 2: So many questions, so why don't you answer?
Previously: I looked at them and they all stared back; they were gorgeous,
"Hi, my name is Bella. Can I take your order?"

They all stared at me like I was an idiot, like I was missing out on some inside joke. I tried to hide my blush, but I could feel it burn my pale face all too soon. I was about to turn away to get Martha to cover the table when my eyes met his. They were piercing and I could feel them search me as they grew in intensity and frustration. Soon he looked angry, forcing me out of my daze as I looked away.
"No thanks, babe. We're good. Just needed a rest," said an incredibly built man. He looked like he was my age, but way too big to possibly be in my age group. I just nodded and stuffed the order pad into the pocket of my apron before rushing to the kitchen.
I tried not to trip, but unfortunately, my wishes never seemed to be granted when it came to this. I watched helplessly as the floor came closer to my face. When I suddenly stopped, I realized something had broken my fall. I opened my eyes to see two arms wrapped around me as they brought me up back to my feet. He gave me a small smile as he brought his mesmerizing eyes to mine, drawing me in just as easily as before. Unfortunately, he let go too soon, and walked back to his table, not giving me a second glance. I shook off the shock and embarrassment as best I could and walked back to the kitchen.
I was greeted immediately by Sebastian's eager squeals, as he jumped circles around me. Martha and Joe laughed, but I could see the same eagerness in their eyes. Joe waited patiently for me to talk, but Martha and Sebastian weren't nearly as mature and I swear they almost pounced on me for the details.
"SO WHAT HAPPENED?" Sebastian asked, yelling into my ear.
"Nothing. They don't want anything to eat, and I'm pretty sure they were laughing at me," I said, as I threw my apron on the side and slumped on the little stool by the door. I could see Martha and Sebastian's faces fall as they returned to their work without saying another word. I could tell they didn't want to hurt me by pressing me for information, but right now, I really wanted to spill my guts. I wanted to ask why it hurt to see him angry, and why it felt like my chest was burning just because he wasn't in the room. I had so many more questions but I couldn't ask—my mouth wouldn't form the words, and my brain wouldn't let it anyways.

Our waitress came walking over, and I let my head fall. I hated coming to restaurants; all the waitresses swooned all over us and didn't even do there jobs right. I decided to ignore her since I wasn't even going to eat anyways.
"Hi, my name is Bella. Can I take you order?" the waitress asked. Something in her voice attracted my attention and I lifted my head to see her.
My brothers and sister were almost laughing at the fact that we were not really going to eat. I ignored them, though, as the waitress brought her eyes to mine. The deep, brown pools pulled me in more than I would have liked, but I couldn't turn away. I tried to scan her mind to see what she was thinking about me, but I came an impenetrable wall. I tried again, trying to find the voice she spoke in to match up with the one in her head. I could feel the frustration and anger build as I kept coming up empty. I could tell she saw it to because she turned away, the small blush on her cheeks burning more than before.
I felt Jasper squirm as the blood's smell intrigued him more than he wished. I snapped back into reality as Emmett told her we didn't need anything. She just nodded and started to walk away. I couldn't help but stare out the corner of my eye. The way her curves suited her, and the way her hair bounced when she walked only glued my attention to her more.
I suddenly saw her heading for the ground. I didn't know what had come over me, but all too soon I had her in my arms. Her eyes were closed in fear, as I brought her back to her feet. She opened them, bringing them to mine. I smiled down at her, her lips almost calling and screaming for me. I held back though, as I let her go and headed for the table. She walked away disappearing behind the kitchen doors.
I sighed, a little mad that she had left, but I couldn't really understand why. I looked up and saw Alice smiling at me, almost as if she was hiding something.
"Alice, what are you hiding?" I asked, not really interested, but feeling like I should ask anyway.
"Nothing, just thought of something funny," she said innocently. I tried to read her mind, but came up the French alphabet instead. I gave up on her as a girlish scream came from the kitchen. I turned my attention to that instead, as the waitress' voice filled my ears.
"Nothing. They don't want anything to eat, and I'm pretty sure they were laughing at me."
I felt regret flood me at the fact that we had hurt her. I tried to ignore it as all these questions filled me to the point of insanity. I held it back though as I tried to come up with answers on my own. Why did it hurt me to see her in pain, and why did it feel like my chest was burning just because she wasn't in the room? I came up blank on both, and I was about to ask but my mouth wouldn't form the words, and my brain wouldn't let it.

I finished up my shift at the dentist's office and headed toward my final jobof the day. My real and most important job of the day was taking care of mychild and my family. When I finally entered that final shift at the SuperMarket I was overwhelmed by the chilled air. One perk of working here was theicy air-conditioning. As I stood at the cash register my legs screamed forrest. The pain dulled as His enchanting face drifted back and forth in mymind. He kept stealing my focus making it hard to work. I didn't pay attentionto what I was scanning or how many times I did scan things. I am sure I hadgiven at least 15 people the wrong change. One time that I had lost focus setin my mind as the little old lady's eyes almost rolled back into her head whenI accidentally told her that the total price for her bottle of bleach and herbag of apples was 347.52.
I finally got home, and I could feel my head almost spin at lack of sleep and food. I felt two small arms wrap around my leg as her face and small laugh pretty much cleared my day of its gray sky. I picked her up and she kissed my cheek with a giggle. Everyone else ran downstairs, greeting me happily. It was always nice to see them happy, but it hurt to know they barely saw me during the day. I smiled, hugging each one, never wanting to let go of their warmth, and the idea that they were safe at least in the split second I had them in my arms.
We had ordered pizza for the first time in about three months. The good thing about not having enough money to buy pizza almost everyday was that it tasted so much better when we finally had it on our table. We dug in a eagerly, but all to soon, the door bell rang. I picked myself up hesitantly as I dragged myself to the door. I my jaw dropped in shock at the face standing on my porch. I looked at him, the words stuck in my throat.
"Bella, are you ok?" he asked.
