A/N: Hey, remember me?? I'm back!! My AP tests are over. I'm so sorry for not updating for like a million years it seems like. But I'm back and I'm going to try to update sooner from now on. Just for clarification, I am not changing any of the events that go on in twilight. I am simply telling it from our dear Mike's POV. I'm not going to make him do anything that he doesn't do already in twilight. I'm just going to tell what's in his head at the time. HOWEVER….if Stephenie doesn't tell us much about poor little Mike in some parts, then I get to make it up. I hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I do not own twilight. Some parts are taken directly from the book.
Chapter 3: Why is He Faster than Me?
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I hated my alarm clock with a passion. They cut off my beautiful dreams where I had the girl and everything was going right. I waved my arm around until I found the snooze button, and it got instantly cold. Just my arm being exposed to the chilly air caused my whole body to shake. There was no way I was going back to bed. I was fully awake now.
I ran to my closet and found a huge warm jacket to put around me for the time being. I noticed my window across the room was frosted, so I walked over it to investigate. Snow! Yes!
Many different fantasies came into my head all at once. I imagined picking up a huge snowball, all cold and slick, and chucking it at his face; and stealing the girl of course. Bella would be so impressed with my strength and aim that she would fall in love with me and she would be mine. I thought about how it would feel to put my arm around her and stroke her beautiful brown hair. How it would feel to steer her away from Edward Cullen, and to steal a long sweet kiss.
My mom opened the door, which brought me back to reality. However, I couldn't keep my mind from going back, so my head was in a daze while I got ready. I saw the icy driveway and thought about putting snow chains on all my tires. But I knew that I wouldn't have the time, so I decided to take a chance. Instead I would drive very slowly and carefully, making sure I was in complete control of the car at all times.
It was easy to stay alert because my car was taking forever to heat up and the cold air kept my thoughts clear and focused on the road. By the time I got to the school my car was just starting to warm up. I cursed inwardly at myself as I took the keys out of the ignition.
I looked around out of habit and spotted Bella about five cars away from me. She was looking at her tires, so I followed her gaze and saw something silver on them. I looked closer and realized that she had snow chains on her tires. I inwardly kicked myself for not thinking ahead like she had. How could she ever like someone who was dangerous and took huge risks just being around her? If she was in my car, I probably wouldn't be able to focus on the road, and I would have crashed! She could be killed because of me. No, she would want to be with someone safe; like Edward Cullen. He looked safe, but mysterious. And isn't that what the girls loved in a guy? I should be more mysterious…
In the middle of his thought, something caught his eye and made him lose his train of thought. It was Tyler's van, coming straight at her. I jumped out of my car and tried to sprint over there as fast as I could, but I slipped on the ice and fell on my face. I got back up, ignoring the cold icy snow that was touching my bare skin, and ran over to the scene, only more carefully this time.
Oh God, is she dead, I thought to myself as I panicked. When I got a glimpse of Edward holding Bella in his arms, I stopped in my tracks. He had been able to get to her in time. A series of emotions flooded through me all at once. I felt relief that she was safe, anger that I hadn't been able to get to her in time, and jealousy that Edward had. But how had he? Edward was nowhere near her when the van came to crush her to her death. And I didn't see him run up to her either. It all made no sense. How was this possible?
"Don't move," someone instructed.
"Get Tyler out of the van!" someone else shouted. I was shoved aside by the flurry of activity, and I let go of everything. There was no way Bella was going to fall in love with me now. I couldn't get o her in time. I felt like a zombie almost.
It took a lot of people to get the van moved so they could get to Bella and Edward. It was a miracle both of them weren't crushed. I just stood there, feeling useless. There was nothing I could do. Bella was in the hands of the professionals now.
I watched longingly after her as she was put into the ambulance. She was searching the crowd. For Edward, I thought. She looked right past me. I was nobody to her.
I saw everyone getting in their car and following the ambulance to the hospital so I ran back to mine to do the same. There was no way I was going to school while everyone else got to see how Bella was doing. There was so much traffic that I started thinking it would take all day to get to the hospital.
When I did arrive at the hospital, they made me wait in the waiting room with everyone else. I wanted so badly to see how Bella was doing, but now I had to wait for her to come to me. If that's ever going to happen, I grumbled inwardly.
I saw Jessica and Eric and decided to wait with them. Jessica, always swooning over me, made me feel better about myself; and I needed an ego boost after this morning. And Eric was no longer a threat. It didn't seem likely that Bella was going to choose Eric over me anyways. Not that she would ever choose me to begin with. If Edward weren't here, then she probably would choose me. I wished that Edward were not the only one from his stupid family without girlfriend. Then he would be off limits to Bella and she would have to settle for me.
Suddenly, Edward gracefully and swiftly opened the doors that probably led to where Bella was now. His face was contorted into angry lines. Was he upset for saving Bella's life?
The asshole! How dare he steal Bella's affection and then throw it aside like it doesn't mean anything? At least that gave me hope. Maybe they were in some kind of fight. Maybe she would give up on Edward and choose me after all. I shot down that thought. If I kept on holding my breath, I would turn blue. Bella would never choose me. Not while Edward still existed.
So I make Edward not exist, I chuckled darkly to myself. It was a bad joke but it made me smile anyways.
Next I saw Bella walk out, who looked just as flustered as Edward had been. She glanced over at Jessica, Eric, and me, and looked away quickly. She said something to her dad, and rushed out the door, which him following closely behind her. What was that about?
With the star gone, the waiting room reluctantly started to empty out. No one wanted to go back to school after this exciting day, especially if Bella wasn't going to be at school.
However, it was inevitable. The day was long and treacherous without her. Jessica followed me around more closely which got to be more annoying than flattering. So by the time I got home and was ready to put my head to my pillow, I was ready to punch something. I thought about how nice it would be to punch my newly formed enemy.
That was the first time I dreamed of Edward Cullen.
