Chapter 7
It was the day of the race and we had decided to have the race on the La Push cliffs.
But first we had school.
I was in Biology and Edward was also in this class. I felt my phone buzz I picked it up thinking it might be one of my brothers
But it was a text from, Edward
Are you angry with me?
I sighed
No, but you're an idiot. Edward do you have any idea how dangerous this could be?
I set my phone on my lap and waited for a reply.
Buzz
I realize that Bella but I have to be close to you, we need to talk about the kiss
I bit my lip I didn't want this conversation with him I looked up at him. He was opposite me on the other table he was looking at me.
Stop looking at me Edward before someone notices !
He smiled at the text and I saw him text back a reply
Buzz
Relax Bella there all into their work, look Bella I care for you greatly, but that isn't the only thing we need to talk about, the night you left you knew something was going to happen something which separated us into a blood war between our families I need to know what.
I didn't like that bit either. He wouldn't be able to handle it if I told him.
Edward you can't handle it trust me even I was having a difficult time over it.
I saw his furrow his eyebrows he looked to me and mouthed 'please' I shook my head. I text back
We can talk about the kiss if you want but that's it Edward we can't talk about anything from the past.
I saw him smile and nod his head towards me
We'll talk about it when I've won the race and I get to have you all to myself for a week :p
I chuckled and shook my head
Don't underestimate Emmett's choice of cars
The bell rang and I exited the class.
AFTER SCHOOL
We drove to the La Push cliffs and waited for the Cullen's to come
"I'm so going to beat him Bella you want Cullen's car after this" he smirked and I chuckled leaning against the car door
"You're unbelievable Em"
"You know you love it"
we saw a silver Volvo begin to park up and all of us braced ourselves
"Right lets get this over with" Edward was still in the car while Alice and Jasper got out.
Emmett got back in his car and drove towards Edwards car. I saw them make an exchange of words. And then smirk at each other. James got his gun out and fired it. Edward and Emmett raced off around the La Push Rocks where it held deep watered trench holes, an iffy cliff where you could actually fall off it and into the sea. That was the bit where only one car could pass.
To say I was nervous was an understatement I didn't want either of them to get hurt up there.
1 hour later
They still hadn't come back and I was starting to get worried when we heard the sound of two distant cars racing this way we all turned to see Emmett and Edward car racing towards us. Edward as up in front I didn't know whether to feel excited by that idea we could be alone together for a week or not. But I didn't have to think about that because Emmett's jeep was racing up and it passed the line indicating he had won the race. I saw him laugh in his car. Rosalie and James ran up to him and congratulated while I just stood there.
Edward got out of his car and slammed his door. He was pissed off because he now had to give up his prized possession.
"Alright Cullen give me your keys"
"Fucker" Edward kissed, but he handed Emmett the keys to his Volvo. He looked towards me and I saw and emotion there I couldn't understand.
"Come on Bells" Emmett threw the car keys to me "Drive your new car" Emmett taunted in front of Edward. I saw Edward look at ease. I furrowed my eyebrows. He looked down to his phone and started to type.
I felt my phone buzz but didn't look at it probably causing suspicion towards my family I would read it later.
HOME
"I'm proud of you son" Charlie laughed clapping Emmett on the back.
"Cheers dad" Emmett got stuck into the meal Renee made us. I saw she looked like she slept last night.
"Look I'm heading off to bed" I stood up and walked up the stairs.
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I had woken up to go and get a drink of water when I heard the front door shut. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked out of the window to see Renee walking up to her car. She started it and drove off.
I decided to follow her but then stopped short. I wouldn't follow her perhaps she just needed to meet someone. What at…1:00 in the morning? My head asked itself. I sighed and walked back to my room and tried to forget about Renee acting strangely.
I looked at Edward's text
I'm defiantly liking you driving my car x
I smiled and sent him a text
I'm sorry you lost
Not five seconds later a reply
No problem we're still talking about the other day though right ?
Yes of course we are just need to be careful that's all, tomorrow I'm going to meet your sister at the café. Wait for us to finish and I'll meet up with you.
Where?
A music shop down the road
I'll be there love
I smiled and felt my heart flutter as he called me that
Ok night then
Sweet dreams Bells
He called me by my nickname I chuckled and got comfy in my bed. But I heard my door latch open.
"Can I talk to you?"
