Chapter Seven
" Bella! How's Edward in bed?" Someone called out from the mass of people. I felt my face turn beat red. Charlotte snapped out of her funk at this comment, and she looked around furiously to see who said it. I tried to ignore the chuckles coming from Jessica and Lauren.
I made my way to an empty table, Charlotte followed after me, still glaring holes into peoples heads. She looked deathly. I feared for my peers. If they got her too mad I'm sure she'd take them all down.
" Are you ok Bella?" She asked, whispering so nobody else could hear. It was so quiet, that I could hear the water moving in the pipes.
" Yes, I'm perfectly fine." I said loudly, just so everyone could hear.
" Hey! Bella, is it true Edward dumped you?" Someone lese asked. There was a loud bang, and everyone, even Charlotte and I, looked to the cafeteria doors.
" Edward." I sighed happily. It was Edward. Why was he here? How was he here? Wasn't it sunny out? I quickly looked out the window. Again, me being unobservant caused me to miss the sun going behind the clouds.
" Bella." He sounded relieved. He looked at Jessica and Lauren before he walked over to my table. " We need to talk. Now." He pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead.
" Ok." I said, just happy he was there. I felt euphoric. I had totally forgot about Charlotte, until I was already walking away from her with Edward. She caught up to me and tugged on my arm, the arm that was attached to my hand, the one that was holding Edward's hand.
" Bella." Charlotte's voice was pleading. I don't think she trusted Edward, though she didn't even know him. This was the first time she had even seen him. I turned to her with a question forming on my tongue.
" Please, Bella." Edward begged me. I frowned. He sounded desperate, like something had happened.
" Is everyone ok, Edward? Alice, Esme, are they ok?" I asked, forgetting Charlotte again. His tome terrified me. Was my family all right? He didn't have to say anything, his eyes told me everything I needed to know. I shook Charlotte's hand off of me and turned to look at her when she tried to pout it back on me.
" Don't touch me, Charlotte. I need to go. My family needs me." I growled at her. She only looked at me. " They need me." I strained. I turned to Edward. " Let's go." And with those words we were off.
