Find Me

Bella's POV – Saved

That's when the bell saved me from my impending doom. I quickly gathered my tray of food that I didn't dare touch at all during lunch. I swiftly made my way to the door quicker than usual to escape the hundreds of seething eyes that were piercing right through me. I knew I had left him hanging by himself at the table but when I looked back at least ten girls had crowded around him. From what I could see, he was only looking to find me.

I made it home as fast as my ancient truck was able to get me there. I was so occupied with myself that I didn't notice that the weather had changed to a gloomy grey sky, and a slight drizzle of rain. Charlie's cruiser was in its parking space earlier than I was expecting to see it. I turned off the engine, and exited my car. "Hey dad, you're home early." I absent-mindedly said. "Yeah it was a slow day." He retorted quickly. I was thinking of making lasagna tonight so I started earlier than usual. After I had put it in the oven, I finished the little homework I had brought home with me. We ate in silence, and Charlie made his way to his favorite room of the house. The family room with the big screen television, predictably he turned it on, and the channel showed sports highlights.

"I'm going to go for a drive around the town. Maybe I'll stop in Port Angeles to buy some books." I told Charlie as I was putting on my raincoat. "Okay honey, just be home before dark." Charlie made his request clear. "I'll try." I said as I closed the front door. I made it to Port Angeles in record time so that I would have some extra time to myself to read in the library in peace. To my astonishment the library was closed. There was a note signifying that they were fixing the back entrance because some kids decided to smash the windows, and damage the back door. I didn't want to go back home so I decided to walk over to the frozen yogurt hut. I ordered myself a strawberry frozen yogurt, and walked around the avenue looking at the stores, and the few people that were around. I decided to sit down at a park bench, and read my Wuthering Heights book that I had brought with me. As I was turning the page, there was a slight tapping on my shoulder.

I was startled, and I had gotten up way too fast which in turn made the person behind me fall back a couple of steps. As I saw who it was, I froze. Jacob Black. I hadn't seen him in a while from back home in Phoenix where I had lived with my mother before I made the decision to come live with Charlie for a while. "Hey Bella I can't believe I found you." Jacob said with a full grin. I started walking away from him because there was no one else around us, and that made me nervous. He wasn't someone I wanted to be around. He was too forward, and gave me the creeps. My friend Angela had told me he is a nice guy, and that I should go out with him. So I made the exception to get to know him. Plus it was a group date, so I wasn't as on edge as I would be if I was alone with him.

The movie theater was practically full, and the only seats available were scattered around, and were in twos. Jacob grabbed my hand forcefully and led me to the backseat of the theater while my friends made their way to the front seats of the theater. Jacob tried too hard that whole night. Putting his arm around me, and trying to talk to me even though the movie had begun. After I told him I wanted to watch the movie he stopped briefly. Until he started becoming antsy. Then he started touching my leg, and my hair. I'm sure he put on the nice act for Angela so she wouldn't know who he really was. I immediately got up, and left the room to go outside. He followed me, and cornered me into a dark alley. He finally tried to kiss me. "No!" I said loudly, and a woman walking by us saw me, and told him to leave. She stood by me for quite a while after he left, and even escorted me to my vehicle. I was grateful for her. I said thank you many times, and she just assured me, that she was glad that nothing worse had happened before she found us.

As I was walking away from Jacob, and the park he was walking behind me without trying to make himself obvious to the few people who were around Port Angeles. When I made it to the parking lot of the library where it was deserted, I began to sweat from fear. "Why won't you look at me." He confidently said, as he pinned me to the hood of my car. "Because you're disgusting, and make me sick." What I angrily said back made him even happier. What he didn't accomplish in the dark alley in Phoenix he surely wasn't going to let that happen twice. He forcefully brought his face closer to mine, as I heard another muffled sound of profanities coming from a male that wasn't Jacob's voice. I had closed my eyes not to see what was going to happen to me. Before I knew it Jacob wasn't on me anymore, and someone else's hands were guiding me somewhere. I opened my eyes slowly, and it was Edward.

Thanks for the reviews so far. I'll start making the chapters longer as I go on.

I hope you all like it so far. Thanks again.
