Chapter: 2
Bella's POV
I looked around me and noticed that I was somehow in the countryside. The small wall that I was sitting on looked as if it ran along the edge of a field or farm. I looked from the road to the ground in front of me and my mind closed up once again.
I don't really know how long I sat there, how long I cried as the slight breeze ruffled through the trees and my hair, messing it up further than it already was. Now did I really care if my hair was messed up? I never did so why start to worry now. Absentmindedly I ran my fingers through my hair as a sound cut through the silence knocking me out of the cocoon that was my mind.
As the roar of an engine came up the road I continued to stare at the ground, I silently prayed that they would zoom on by without even glancing my way. If they were to stop I would be afraid of who I would come face to face with. If it was a helpful motorist I would simply wave them on but what if it was one of the Cullen's? If it was Edward I don't think I could survive having him so close to me after seeing…. What if Tanya was with him? I squeezed my eyes shut. What if it were Alice? I wouldn't be able to look into her eyes of pity. I didn't need their pity.
The car was moving fast and I silently thanked God for answering my prayer of them continuing as I refused to look up to confirm my suspicion. The hum of the car slowly died down to a roar and I silently cursed in my head, they were stopping and they were going to ask questions for sure. They stopped right in front of me and although the driver left the engine running they stepped out of the car and around towards me. The person stopped and kneeled on the ground as I felt a gentle finger on my face pushing my chin up to look into a pair of pain filled golden eyes.
"Bella," she said gently as she moved the hair from my face, "we've all been looking for you."
"Why? It's not like I'm needed anymore. Edward is saved and I'm just a little distraction," I stated weakly.
"I'm so sorry Bella," Rosalie said as she helped me to my feet and helped me to the passenger door of the red Porsche she was driving. I silently sat down as Rose got back in the car gracefully and I remembered once again the differences between us.
The first part of the ride was silent and I was worried about what she would say to me. 'I told you so,' would probably be the first words to pass her lips. I had a moment to wonder why she hated me so much.
"I'm so sorry Bella," she said into the silence of the car. I was shocked into looking at her, "I know, I know," she continued with a humorless laugh, "you probably expect me to rub it in your face but I won't. This is why I never wanted you involved with us. There is so much that you don't know."
We continued down the road for about five miles in silence, the trees passing by at a much slower rate than when he drove. It seemed as if she was trying to stretch the trip out longer. There was only one reason for her to do that, that I could think of.
"They killed him anyways didn't they? Even though Tanya stopped him," even as I said this it felt like someone was pulling on my heart from two different directions and tearing it apart.
"No no no no," Rosalie replied with a wave of her hand, "Tanya got to him in time and they're both alright."
"Well then what is it you have to say? I would think you would want to get rid of me as fast as you could. You can't stand me," I stated after I had pulled myself together.
"I might not like you because you're so willing to throw your life away but what I have to tell you will hurt you," she replied in a soft voice as if she really did care.
As I waited for her to tell me I promised myself that I wouldn't cry. She didn't deserve to see my tears.
"Bella," she began as we finally hit the city, "what Edward said when he left, that you were a distraction, was all true," her phone went off and after looking at the ID she silenced it, "he and Tanya were in love, they have been together for years but they broke up over something simple and stupid. They both went their separate ways even though they still cared about each other. When she heard Edward was in trouble she rushed right over even though she knew it could cost her everything."
I sat in silence as my worst fears were confirmed but then again I always knew I was just a little distraction. It never made sense for him to love me and yet I was feeling the pain much more acutely then I had when he left. I wished I could go back to that cocooned state.
The cell phone rang again and this time Rosalie answered it, "Hello Alice. Bella's fine. I'm taking her to the airport and she is going back to Forks," I couldn't hear the words on the other end of the conversation but I could tell she was mad. She was probably angry that Rosalie hadn't sugarcoated the truth. She hung up the phone as we pulled up to the airport and I stared out the window in front of me.
Read Enjoy Review =^-^=
