OoooO
"Sleep well kiddo?" Charlie asked
"I guess so" I muttered – if by 'well' he meant confused and totally turned on
Charlie and I both left at the same time. I made my way to school and parked my car at the end of the lot. I noticed Edward first, he was standing with Alice, and they looked like they were arguing about something. Then they both suddenly stopped and looked right at me.
I realized then that I was standing still and staring. I started to walk towards the building, not before I tripped a little – thankfully I didn't fall.
"Bella! Hey" Jessica said as I sat down
"Hi"
"You are never going to guess who is joining our class" she stated practically bouncing
"Well, I'm judging by the way you are jumping about, it's someone you like"
"Edward-freaking-Cullen! I swear, it's my life mission to get him. I can't wait to just watch him when he..."she stopped midsentence
I realized why, Edward shifty walked by and took a seat in the row beside me. I chanced a glance at him and again he glared at me.
"Wow, what did you do to piss him off. Maybe we should switch seats" Jessica nobility offered.
Just as she was getting up to move, Miss O'Brien started the lesson. Poetry, oh joy. This was something new though, she took out a CD player, while sheets were being passed around. When I got mine, I looked at it, it was lyrics.
"Poetry, darlings is not just for old people, you hear poetry every day, in the forms of lyrics in a song or rhymes in a rap. Here is an example, now I know it's not Kanye West, but we need to start off with something slower, easier to hear the lyrics before we dive into quicker, harsher tones"
She played the CD as I silently read along with the lyrics:
(you can hear it here: .com/watch?v=8R8Qvm24dbU)
A
thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like lunar
landing
You make me want to run till' I find you
I shut the
world away from here
I drift to you, you're all I hear
As
everything we know fades to black
Half the time the world is
ending
Truth is I am done pretending
I never thought that
I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am
without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have
made
Everything will change
But love remains the same
I
find a place where we escape
Take you with me for the space
The
city buzz sounds just like a fridge
I walk the streets through
seven bars
I have to find just where you are
The faces seem to
blur
They're all the same
Half the time the world is
ending
Truth is I am done pretending
I never thought that
I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am
without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have
made
Everything will change
But love remains the same
So
much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me out
We
shall overcome
It's all left still to play
We should've had
the sun
Could have been inside
Instead we're over here
Half
the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too
much time too long defending
You and I are done pretending
I
never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so
far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have
lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
Everything
will change
I,
oh I,
I wish this could last forever
I, oh I,
As if we could
last forever
Love remains the same
Love remains the same
"Ok, thoughts? Anyone? Poetry is subjective, you can't be wrong as long as you can backup your opinion"
No one raised their hand
"Ok, well lets go down the list...Edward, your thoughts?"
"It's about loss, the loss of someone they loved. Everything changes, meaning the world continues to change and evolve, but the narrator still loves the one he lost" He looked right at me as finished what he was saying
"Ok good"
Class continued on, but I didn't pay much attention. Again at the end of class, Edward darted out.
Later, just as I was about to enter the caf, to meet Jessica, Mike and Angela again, Alice grabbed me, with a lot of strength! It was surprising, I'll probably be bruised.
"Bella, you have to listen to me we have to leave now" she whispered as she continued to pull me aside.
"What? Why? Where are you taking me"
"There isn't much time to explain you have to come now"
Before I could answer, Edward and the rest of his family appeared.
"No, Alice! Let her go. I said I can handle it" Edward angrily stated
"No, you can't bro, we need to get her out of here. If Alice says now, we have to listen" The tall, scary-looking one, who I think was Emmett said as he put a hand on Edward's shoulder.
He looked at me, completely defeated, "I'm sorry"
Still dumbfounded by the situation, Alice continued to drag me along – out to the parking lot.
"Are....are we ditching?" was all I could muster out
"No, we're leaving Bella. Soon, we'll have to leave Forks" Alice answered
"Wait...what, no! I can't leave"
"You have to, we'll explain once we get to our house. Emmett you drive Bella's truck"
She reached into my coat pocket and picked out the keys and threw them to Emmett. Emmett and Rosalie went to my truck and the rest of us, including Jasper and Edward got into a shiny, silver Volvo. Edward sat in the driver's seat, I sat behind him in the back with Alice, while Jasper sat up front. Faster, than I would have liked Edward drove to, what I guess is their home. Throughout the drive Edward kept glancing at me through the rear-view mirror.
The panic and unease I should be feeling was not evident. Weird I thought, why am I feeling so calm about this?
The drive was fast and silent. The car stopped in the middle of woods, where it pulled into a huge mansion.
We all got out of the car. Alice and Jasper lead the way, while I followed and Edward behind me. As we entered I couldn't get over how beautiful and bright the home was.
"Kids is that you?" a soft female voice called
"Are you ditching again?" another strong, male voice called
"Esme, Carlisle, we're back, Alice had a vision and we have brought Isabella" Edward stated
Something about the way he said my name, and his voice...
"You are mine Isabella. Forever"
I gasped
Alice smirked, "She is starting to remember"
OoooO
Short chapter, I know, but I wanted to get another chapter out to show that, even though it does sort of start off with Twilight, it definitely deviates.
Again, hope you like and let me know!
