Chapter 8: Scream The Headlines
Bella:
My bad mood was suddenly taken away the second I saw Adrian's face.
He was my best friend back in Phoenix. I loved him like a brother.
And he once again made everything right again.
How it all once was…
"So how have you been?" He asked me taking me from my thoughts.
"Good." I lied. "You?"
"Miserable. I miss you like crazy."
"Aw don't say that I want you to be happy. And I miss you too. I'm so glad you're here."
"Me too. But I can only stay for a couple days. WE have off from school back in Phoenix that's why I'm here now."
"Lucky bitch."
He laughed and pulled me in for another hug.
"I love you Bells."
I laughed too. "I love you too Adrian."
He smiled and kissed my forehead and then laced his fingers through mine.
And then hand in hand we entered the lunch room.
Edward:
I walked numbly to the cafeteria.
And just when I thought things couldn't possibly get worse; in came Bella and that guy.
I wanted to kill him! But this was my entire fault, my mistake.
I screwed up and I had no one to blame but myself.
I watched as they sat at a vacant table across from me.
I watched as they both smiled and laughed.
I watched the love in his eyes grow as did hers.
I watched as he grabbed her hand and traced circles on the back with his thumb.
I watched as she let this happen smiling even more.
I watched all this happen.
And the same feelings rose in my chest: jealousy, pain, and regret, but most importantly love for a girl that could never love me.
Bella:
The day flew by in a daze.
Adrian stayed with me at lunch but obviously he couldn't go to any other classes so he promised to stay in the car and wait for me.
I was fine when I was with him but when I had to look into Edward's green eyes everything came back to me full blast.
The pain and anger seemed to swallow me.
And so the rest of the day was spent with me in depression.
When the dismissal bell rang I immediately went to Adrian's car.
But I sucked it up best I could and put what I hope was a smile on my face.
"Hey." He greeted me.
"Hey. Where do you wanna go?" I asked.
"I don't know. You pick the place."
"The filed."
"The filed?"
"The filed."
"The filed?"
"Yes Adrian the freaking filed."
"And where pray tell is this freaking field you speak of?" He raised an eye brow and I laughed.
He always could make me feel better.
"Behind the school."
"The school filed?"
"The school filed. And don't ask me again!"
This time he laughed.
"Ok. Let's go."
He shut his car door, locked it and grabbed my hand.
When we got there we laid down on the grass and stared up at the sky watching the clouds in comfortable silence.
"You know what you need to do?" he asked after a long moment.
"What?"
"Scream." He simply said.
"What?!"
"I said scream." He smiled and stood up offering me his hand.
I took it and got up too looking at him skeptically.
"Scream? You want me to scream?"
"Yes." His smile grew.
"Are you crazy? That's stupid!"
"Maybe but that's beside the point. Just scream. It will help get out some of that anger and hurt."
"Anger? Hurt? I don't know what you're talking about-"
"Oh please! Don't play dumb Bella. I know you. I can tell. I don't know why you feel this way and I won't ask you to explain. When you want to talk I'm here. And if you just need me to listen I can do that too."
I smiled a small sad smile at him. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now scream. Trust me it will work. And so that you won't be along I'll scream with you."
He took my hand and laced his long fingers with mine.
I looked into his hazel eyes and saw they were completely serious.
"You're serious?"
"As a heart attack." He smiled again and so did I.
"Now go on. Scream!"
I took a deep breath and he counted off.
"1, 2, 3: SCREAM!"
And we did. We screamed until we thought our lungs would burst.
Afterwards he just held me.
"Feel better?" He asked after a moment.
"Yes." My voice was hoarse and dry.
He chuckled.
"Well besides my throat feeling like it's on fire. I do feel better."
I looked up at him and he smiled. "Good. You know when we were five you told me the same thing."
"What?"
"When we were five I had been so angry one day I can't really remember the reason but I was so angry I wanted to cry. And you took my hand and said scream. I looked at you like you were crazy and you said scream it will take some of the pain go way. And so we did. You held my hand and we screamed so loud every bird flew away. You screamed with me. You were there when I needed you. I thought I ought to return the favor." He smiled and realization dawned on me.
"I remember now…" I whispered.
He laughed and pulled me tighter to him.
"You're an amazing person Bella Swan don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise."
"Thank you. So are you."
He smiled and pressed his lips to my forehead.
And all was still all was silent.
All was how it should be.
How it all once was….
IMPORTANT MUST READ:
You will not get an update till Monday afternoon around maybe 4 or 5 because tomorrow through Sunday I will be at my Dad's once again. Ugh! But if I get a good amount of reviews I might, might post chapter 9 Sunday evening. No promises. The words at the beginning of this chapter were lyrics to a song that inspired me to write this chapter: Scream The Headlines by The Story So Far. Awesome song! Also now I will be putting the song that I listen to while writing theses chapters as the title of my chapters from now on as well as some of the lyrics to the song at the top like in this chapter. Thanks to all that review! Keep it up it gets chapters up faster. Love you all and thanks for your support :)
A/N: It's good to listen to the song I put as the title for the chapters while reading it. There good songs and it helps understand the chapter more and get the feel of it. Also sorry this chapter was short too. I'll make sure the next two are longer :)
