BPOV
Okay whoever invented the term waxing serious needs to be torture that was just one experience I never want to go through again! Yeah maybe I'm overreacting but rather have my wisdom tooth pull or root canals done than go through that again.
I'll have to admit through that even though I do not like shopping by any means I enjoyed spending this time with Alice it's like I've known her all my life and for some reason I trust her wholeheartedly. Once we were getting ready to leave the Spa Alice had zoned out again "Hey Alice if you kept zoning out like that I'm gonna think you're kinda loopy" All she did was stuck here tongue out before pull out her phone saying she has to call home real quick.
I walked outside to give him some privacy while she made her phone call and while out here I couldn't help but to wonder about what Alice had said on our way out today about me finding my "true love" soon. I may have made it out to be a joke in the car but I couldn't help to be just a tad bit curious could there really be this great love out there for me who I could trust so openly? Nah I doubt it just a whole bunch of fairytale nonsense.
Alice had came out not to long afterwards telling me she's just had a great idea about a sleepover at my house and it's the weekend so I figured what the heck right?
On the drive back to Forks though I was worn out so I slept all the way back to my house. I woke up us as Alice pulled up into the driveway and before I even opened the door I had that creepy feeling again that someone was watching me. I turned to look around my surroundings as I opened the door I could of swore I saw Alice posture become tense.
We gathered all the bags out the truck and the backseat and I still could not help but shake that feeling.
"Hey Alice?"
"Yes Bella." It did not escape my notice her tone seem very guard maybe she had the same feelings that I do about someone watching us.
"Um do you ever get the feeling that someone's watching you?"
I took a quick glance at her and even though she seems extremely calm there was just something about her posture that was a bit off especially the way she position herself between the car and me; it was almost defensive like.
"I get like that sometimes Bella and if you ever get those feelings Bella promise you'll follow your instincts and look for safety in situations like those your instincts will never stare you wrong."
I just nodded my head as we rushed into the house but I could help but to feel that her words applied to so much more than the actually question I had asked her.
Charlie was still not back yet from his fishing trip once we arrived home so we head straight to my room and put my new "Alice approved wardrobe" away. As I was putting my things away I could not help to notice Alice admiring the painting I did so many years ago.
"You can have the painting if you want it" I really did not know what made me offer her the painting but the way her face brighten by looking at.
"Bella I could not possible but I would like to know what inspired this painting so many emotions on are this canvas and the way you painting this person so bright like their transparent or something"
"I really do not know what inspired this painting actually I have a lot of paintings similar to this one with these two people that I actually grouped all of them in a collection which I called Guardian Angel. This may sound silly to you but when I was younger I use to dream about angels and I always felt I had someone watching over at least that's what my biological father used to tell me before he died, so that's where I got the name for these paintings. I've been meaning to clean out the garage one of these days so I could find most of my old childhood keepsake and paintings, when I find the other paintings I'll show you them. I'm seriously though Alice please take the painting though I will not take no for an answer, I truly want you to have think of it as a thank you for everything type of gift."
For some reason tell Alice this it did not hurt nor did it make me feel alone or empty when I brought up a memory about my father it actually felt good to share it.
Alice pulled me into a hug telling me how I'll never know how much she truly appreciate the painting I just gave her and her voice drip with nothing but the upmost of sincerity.
We stayed in my room just talking about mundane stuff such as school and the people I've met so far when I heard two cars pull up into the driveway. I heard Charlie entering the house "Hey Bella come downstairs I got someone whose been asking about you none stop all day"
Alice looked at me and she had looked a bit worried and to tell you the truth after having that feeling outside I was worried too. I was going to invite her to come downstairs with me but she said she had to make a phone call so I just went downstairs without her.
As I came to the bottom of the stairs I froze because the last person I wanted to ever see was standing right in the middle of the living room. I knew when I decided to come to Forks that I had a feeling I was forgetting to calculator one factor as why it may not be a good idea and the reason just was staring at me with narrow eyes.
His words of the last time I saw him kept running through my head "Your mines forever no matter what" I immediately became scared and my heart beat started to pump faster as he approached me and I was still too shock to even speak or move.
But he stopped mid step just as I felt a comforting hand on my shoulders pulling me out my state of shock and behind them. I realize it was Alice and I immediately felt scared for her because she took a defensive stance between Jacob and I. Alice expression looked murderous and at that moment tiny little Alice looked dangerous.
Jacob started trembling and I began pulling Alice worry about both our safety but as I attempted to pull her it felt like I was pulling a bag of bricks.
"I KILL YOU WERE YOU STAND LEECH IF YOU DON'T GET AWAY FROM HER NOW"
Alice showed no fear she just stayed were she was and I swear I heard a growl escape her lips. Hell I definitely must be going crazy now too because her once gorgeous topaz eyes looked pitch black just like Edward's eyes did that day in Biology. And I briefly wonder where the hell Charlie is?
Alice once cheery voice was lace so acidly and deathly when she spoke I even cringed back "You not come anywhere near her and do not think I'm alone either you touch her or even come close to her I'll kill you myself and to hell with and treaty mongrel."
Treaty? What the hell is going on here and of course she's not alone I'm standing right next to her and Charlie's in the house somewhere. "I Kill You" Jacob spat to Alice but it was like his words did not even phase her and just as he start to take a step towards her Alice was standing on the balls of toes and out of nowhere I heard an extremely furious but yet heavenly voice say "TAKE ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS THEM DOG BUT I'M WARNING YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE OUTCOME."
I looked the direction where the new voice came from to see an even more deathly looking Edward. I know earlier Alice said Edward was out of town so what is he doing here now in my living room and why do I sense that there is more to this than meet the eye.
Jacob seem to back do and just ended up leaving while I was still standing still shock on the stairs absorbing all this in. Why does it feel like I just enter some sort of Twilight Zone? Alice turned to me now and her face was no longer murderous "Bella are you okay?"
"Yeah Alice I'm now but are you okay I mean he's huge and all?"
"Oh Bella with brother's you pick up a thing or two in self-defense"
"Speaking of brother's why Edward is here?" I turned to look at him and I still looked livid for some reason. "Not that I'm complaining I'm grateful for your help just now."
Alice and Edward were just having some were stare off thing with one another actually it was more like they were having some silent type of communication. Edward finally looked my direction and spoke so harshly "Next time kept your dog on a leash because I do not my sister involved in some lover's spat."
Now I was mad what the hell his problem is? I felt like slapping him and I did not even realize I took a step towards him till I felt Alice grab my hand saying "C'mon Bella that will not be wise let's go back upstairs pay my asshole of a brother no mind."
Once back in the safety of my room I fell onto my letting go of all my emotions that were held in due to my shock. "Bella everything is alright now but I'm curious why you were so afraid of that boy?"
"Alice he's never going to stop harassing me and you brother arghhhh… Everything started with that boy awhile back"
Two Summers ago in Forks
The waves were smashing against the rocks and I was sitting out on a cliff ledge just looking out on the ocean. I did this many times during my summer in Forks it gave me clarity whenever I started to feel depress about anything. It was extremely calming and I was at peace in my solitude however I notice out of the corner of my eye someone standing in the distant that appeared to just be watching me.
Just as I was getting up to leave he approached me and at first he seem like a pretty ok person and later I found out he was the son of one of Charlie's friends. During the summer Charlie would spend most of it in La Push so I had no choice be to go along with him because he did not feel right about leaving me in a house by myself.
So it became pretty natural that I would hang out with Jacob and I notice immediately he was a lot bit smitten with me so I attempted to keep a safe distance and keep everything in the friendship zone. He respected my wishes at first but it was towards the end of the summer when he went through this like growth spurt and he distant himself from me so it made me actually happy to think it finally gotten through to him that I did not like him in that sort of way.
Two weeks before I were to head back to Phoenix and I just about the same amount of time till school started I was hanging out by myself on the beach by myself when Jacob showed up out of nowhere. The fact that he now towered over me scared the daylights out of me and he kept trying to close to me but I kept back up.
He kept mumbling some nonsense about "don't you see or feel anything different Bella were meant to be together so stop trying to fight it just let it happen."
I thought he was going to rape me because he looked at me with nothing but pure lust and like I was his possession so I started back up things as I was backing up throwing at him as I back away to find Charlie. However me not being graceful fell and next thing I knew he was standing right over me and just as he was about to kiss me two older looking guys showed up.
At first I was petrified when these other guys showed up they were as huge as him so I started sobbing please do not hurt me I just want to go home. The guys got Jacob to leave me alone but not before he said "You mines forever no matter what." He's words haunted me too much that I put my foot down and refused to tag along with Charlie on these fishing trips nor anywhere near La Push actually that was the last summer I even came back to Forks up until I decided to move here.
"Do you see why I'm so afraid now Alice, Charlie considers him like family because of his friendship with the boy's father and I swear if I did not know any better Charlie is attempting to push a relationship with me and that boy in attempts to kept me here once I finish high school."
Alice just continues comforting me while I let everything out and I'm truly grateful to have her in my life right now. Another thing I realized is Alice is absolutely right we're going to be extremely great friends.
"Alice?"
"Yes Bella" Again her voice was extremely cautious it was like she knew what I was going to ask her
"Why did he call you a leech and what was all the nonsense about a treaty?"
Alright as promise Edward's back (He's attitude shall be explain in his POV)
