From now on the playlist is going to have a theme, as you can see this week's theme was classical. I've always liked classical music when I'm writing as sometimes if there are words in a song it can become distracting. Also, if anyone is interested in submitting a playlist for this story feel free. You could do your favourite songs or ones you think relate to this story or just to the Twilight Saga in general. All of the playlists I receive will be featured at some point in this story.
I self-consciously covered my bruised eye with my hand as I sat in the library once again waiting for Edward Cullen. Today's session was going to be awkward going on the drive to school. Alice had insisted that I drive in Edward's car with him and that her, Jasper and Emmett went with Rosalie in the M3. I think she thought we would be able to sort out whatever it was that had bothered Edward that morning.
Of course, Alice was wrong. When I got into the car Edward had given me a look that one would give to something they had just scraped off their shoe on the grass.
"Am, Alice said I should go with you. There was no room in the M3." I explained, buckling my belt.
"Fine." One word that was all I got, one word. I guess I half deserved it, I had been rude to him too yesterday. We drove in silence and Edward didn't even nod to me before walking away, probably to go find Tanya and suck face before class, ugh.
People walked past me in the library, no one noticing me. Just one girl sitting on her own. Not that hard to forget about. It felt like if I wasn't here no one would be bothered.
I sat there all of lunch. On my own. Edward Cullen never came. I didn't have any classes with Alice that evening so I couldn't ask her if she would ride in the Volvo with Edward and Rosalie give me a lift home. I looked around for her but she proved to be surprisingly hard to find.
Dejectedly, after a long day at school I walked to the car park. The sun was shining for the first time in a long time causing the cars to glimmer and the puddles on the ground to sparkle. The weather contrasted nicely with my dark mood.
I walked over to the spot to where Edward had parked his car earlier. It was gone. He'd known he was to bring me home. Alice had told him last night and had reminded him again before school this morning. The bastard had purposely left me here. I took out my cell phone, it would be embarrassing to be collected in the police car but it was better than having to walk the seven miles back to my house. No battery, that's what the screen said when I tried to turn it on before weakly flickering off again. Crap, I cursed in my head before turning slowly out of the car park. At this stage the school car park was pretty empty except for a couple of Tanya's cheerleading harpies.
Seven miles, I thought to myself as I pulled my school bag onto my two shoulders rather that just one. I'd walked that before, but not with a school bag full of books on my back. Clouds began to roll across the sky and it grew darker, rain began to drizzle. Perfect. The roads were quiet, there wasn't ever much traffic around here except for when school ended or began. The people of Forks generally didn't have any other need to drive the road that led up towards the school unless it was their destination.
A car slowed down, and my heart shot into my mouth. I tried to hurry up my steps but the car sped up slightly. I remembered everything Charlie had said about kidnapping and how to always stay safe.
Number One: Have your cell phone with you. No good if it's got no battery, damn.
Number Two: Let someone know what time you'll be back. Charlie would think I was at Alice's and Alice would think I was at home with Charlie.
Number Three: Run. Now that I could do.
I looked back it was a black car complete with tinted windows. I couldn't see the face of the person and judge them friend or foe. I ran as hard and as fast as I could. But a teenage girl is no match for a car and it caught up with me in no time.
Then the worst thing that could possibly have happened happened. I tripped. I don't know what I fell over, could of been a twig, a stone or even just my own two feet, but the base of the matter is I fell.
I hit the ground hard, my elbows taking the brunt of the fall, I yelped loudly. Pity there was no one around but the very person in the car who I had been running to try and escape. The car pulled over and the engine stopped. I tried to stand up but my feet felt like they were tied to cement blocks, I couldn't move.
Then, I heard a noise, a car engine coming up the road. My heart rose and sunk simultaneously in my chest. Was it someone coming to rescue me or was it an affiliate of the person in the car. It rounded the bend, it was a shiny silver Volvo, Edward. An engine revved in the black car and the driver sped off, just as Edward pulled up.
"Are you okay?" he questioned. "Who was that? Why are you on the ground?" he asked jogging over to me, he crouched down beside me and grabbed my hands to pull me up into a sitting position.
"I-I'm fine." I stuttered stupidly, tears springing to my eyes.
"Who was that? Were they following you?" He asked me staring into my eyes seriously.
"I d-don't k-know who it w-was. They were following me and I ran, then I tripped. Then you came along."
"So you're okay? Do you want me to drive you to the hospital?" Gently he tugged the sleeves of my hoodie up to inspect my scratched elbows.
"I'm fine, can you just take me home." Then I began to sob. I know pathetic. I was scared and here was Edward Cullen acting all Mr. Nice when it was him whose fault it was that I was even in the situation to begin with. If he hadn't come I don't know what would've happened but I don't think it would've been good.
And then, out of no where. Edward wrapped his arms around me and pulled my head in close to his chest. He hugged me hard. My breathing hitched slightly. It felt so good to be touching him. Our bodies pressed up against one another and it was like we were the only two people in the world.
Suddenly I forgot it was raining, I forgot about the fact that some stranger had just followed me, heck I even forgot my name for a minute. I wrapped my arms around him too and we just sat there like that for awhile just comforting each other.
A.N. I want to thank everyone who has stuck with this story; I know that updates haven't been as frequent as they once were. My school was doing our musical and I was heavily involved and I wasn't at home a lot. I had to be over at the school at six every evening and didn't get home till eleven and I'd be too tired to update. On the days after the play I had work and I was given a lot of hours on account of missing so many leading up to and during the show. But the good news is I'm on my Easter holidays soon and I'm going to the USA, can't wait. I'll be bringing my laptop so I will hopefully get a lot of writing done then.
I was also running dry on ideas for this story but I think I've got back on track to where I had wanted it to go. Thanks to everyone who reviewed this story, I've been shocked with the response and want to say how much every review means. It's nice to know that some people like my work. No one knows that I write fan fiction or write in general so it's nice to get some feedback. Is anyone else in the same boat?
