Chapter 2: Reunion
I do not own any of the characters in the Twilight Series :(
I sped down the highway not caring how fast I went. I figured since I didn't have a place to stay I would just check myself into a hotel. I arrived in Port Angeles a little while after 1 P.M. and got a room in a very nice hotel. I threw my book bag on the ground with more force then needed.
"UGH, why me?" I yelled at no one in particular. I couldn't't get the picture of him with his arm around that wretched blonde out of my mind, I disliked her already. What did I expect? I knew if I ever saw them again he wouldn't be sad, or depressed as I had been he left me. I lay on the bed just staring at the ceiling debating whether it was best to just leave now and forget about everything when my cell phone started ringing. I turned my head over to where it lay on the bedside table. I glanced at the name but all it said was unknown. I opened it up and hit the send button.
"Hello?" my voice sounded so monotone, so dead.
"Bella? Are you okay?" Alice's nervous voice rang through the room. Leave it to her to remember my phone number for over 60 years.
"Alice? Ya I'm fine" I hoped the sadness in my voice wasn't as easy to detect as I thought it was.
"Oh Bella I'm so sorry why don't you come over and stay with us tonight. We can talk about this and if Edward even tries to come near you I'll punch him out, or you could do it if that makes you feel any better?" I could almost hear her hopping up and down at that thought.
"I don't think that's best for me, or him right now Alice. I'll just see you at school tomorrow"
"Okay, see you later then, Bye!" So I guess I was staying, I couldn't bear to disappoint Alice and not show up to school tomorrow. I decided i needed a distraction to get my mind off of the whole Edward situation. In the end I decided to go shopping, what else was there to do in a town this small?
I reached the first store within 10 minutes and I quickly began searching through the racks hoping my mind would wander away from the Cullens. After a while I started enjoying myself, I guess Alice and Rosalie rubbed off on me more then I thought. Almost 2 hours later I decided to go back to the hotel pleased with my purchases. Once my head hit the pillow my mind drifted back to today's events, I couldn't help but let out a silent sob at the thought of Edward with another girl. I guess all those times he said he loved me meant nothing, I meant nothing.
I just lay on my bed thinking of nothing in particular until I noticed that the sun had already set and risen. I glanced at the clock and figured I would most likely be late if I didn't leave soon. I changed into one of my new outfits and gathered up all of my things. I was in my car within the next few minutes speeding down the highway back to Forks.
I drove fast enough that I made it to school 10 minutes before classes were to start. I purposely parked as far away from the red convertible as the small lot would allow. I slumped down in my seat and let my head hit the top of the steering wheel trying to gain the courage to even get out of the car when there was a small tap on my window. My head flew up as I stared out the window at Alice as she hopped up and down clapping her hands over and over.
"Bella!! I've missed you so much!" Alice screamed as she threw herself on me only seconds after I'd exited my car.
"I've missed you too!" I said as I hugged her back, not noticing how much I really had missed her until that moment.
As soon as my feet hit the pavement I was swept up into a huge bear hug, if I was still human I was sure every bone in my body would have been broken.
"Emmett, put me down!!" I screamed as Emmett's laugh filled the parking lot. I said hi to Rosalie and Jasper next, they both said they were happy to see me again. I had missed the Cullens and was crushed now to know that I had been replaced.
"Wow, Bella did you really pick out that outfit? You look amazing!" Alice said as she looked over my clothes with a happy smile "I guess we did better then we thought eh Rose" She said as she winked at her sister.
"She does look beautiful" I spun around as soon as Edward spoke the first word. He had that same look in his eyes he had had so many years ago, full of love and lust. The blonde girl was standing next to him shooting death rays at me with as much force as she could muster.
"Oh, well um Thank You" I managed to blurt out, my eyes drifting from him to the girl at his side and back again.
"Oh yes, let me introduce you two, Bella this is Janice, my um…" he looked down at his shoes not able to say it.
"Girlfriend, I'm his girlfriend." The blonde spat out what he couldn't't say. She had a murderous look on her face as if ready to kill me if I even stepped near Edward.
"Oh well hi Janice, I'm Bella, a friend of the family." I didn't want to be intentionally mean to her just because she was dating the love of my life.
"I think we should get to class now" Jasper said as he squirmed uncomfortably, he could definitely feel the tension.
"Actually you guys run along I want to speak with Bella for a minute" Janice faked a smile at the rest of the family. They nodded and went off to their classes.
"So, what do you want to talk to me about?" I asked already uncomfortable at the fact that we were alone. She leaned in; I noticed her eyes were pitch black.
"He's mine now, so don't even think of coming near him. He loves me and there's nothing you can do about it. Got it?" But before I could even respond she spun around and swiftly walked to her class.
My mouth was hanging open, I was sure of it. Who the hell did this girl think she was? He was mine no matter what she said, and I was going to get him back even if it was the last thing I did.
Thanks for the reviews guys. I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as possible maybe even later today, but if not it will definitely be up by tommorow. And if any of you guys want to see what Bellas car would look like theres a picture on my profile :)
