I went for a quick (independent) back to school shopping today. Alice did the clothes shopping without me saying that her and Rose would get it done faster and that she wouldn't get a specific skirt if I tagged along. Darn! Queue sarcasm here.
"Alice said you like to come here sometimes." Carlisle said as he walked up behind Edward, the gravel crunching under his feet. Edward had his nose against the chain link fence around Bella's school.
"She's in fifth grade you know." Edward said not taking his eyes away from the playground where Bella was currently watching some other girls skip. She never joined, she only ever watched. Even at that age some of the boys watched her, watching the other girls. They rarely did anything about it, for which Edward was grateful. In a few more years, when Bella would be even more beautiful, he couldn't bare to think of what she'd say when the boys became less shy.
I don't have much time. Human must get some sleep before her big 7th first day at a new school. Edward, Alice and I are graduating this year. Me for the very first time Jasper is interning at the hospital where Carlisle is working and Rose and Emmett are pretending to take pictures for a nature oriented coffee table book. Let's just say that Emmett will be spending most of his days trying to beat my top score on the old school Pac Man machine when he's not hunting the grizzlies that seem to be in abundance out here. He might have some luck with the grizzlies, not so much with the game.
Carlisle let out a low whistle at the statement. "Fifth, huh? Never would of known if you hadn't brought it up last night…" Or at the night before, or at breakfast… "Speaking of which, shouldn't you be in school."
"Lunch." Edward replied as if that explained everything, including his hour and a half absence. "I just wanted to check up on her. I don't want to miss anything. She doesn't exactly have forever."
I went to the grocery store as well. I like to do food shopping alone because even after all these years everyone still makes faces. Sometimes I'll bring Esme but she's busy in her garden. Em offered to come but you can only get asked, "How can you eat that stuff?" so many times before you envision popping his head off his body. Then I bumped into a cute guy in the cereal aisle, literally, and hard.
"She could."
Edward let out a snarl at his father. Carlisle left his face blank. "One day it might be what she wants. When she asks you of it, are you sure you will be able to turn her down?"
He caught onto my arm before I could fall backward. He had a smile on his face showing off his perfect teeth that contrasted nicely with his dark skin and hair, probably from the reservation we passed on our way into town. And he was tall. Huge. I had to crane my neck to whisper a thank you after which he didn't release his hold on me. He wrinkled his nose and his smile faltered. Then he told me I smelt… off. So much for a heart breaking smile if that's your opening line.
"She won't. She'll want a normal human life." Edward replied through a grimace.
Normal? Carlisle's expression changed from blank to skeptical.
"As normal as we can offer her. I won't condemn her to this …existence."
He also told me I was warm (shocker). I congratulated him on his powerful skills of observation. He laughed at me then. Before he released me I noticed he was really hot himself, and I told him so. He then said "I do have that effect on the ladies." after which we were both laughing. He introduced himself as Jacob Black. I'm going by Marie while were in town so people don't get suspicious. You know I always thought when I met some guy in a grocery store I'd be holding some exotic fruit instead of standing infront of the Count Chocula.
Edward turned his back on Carlisle. He knew the one sure fire way to keep her safe would be to turn her. James hadn't come knocking yet but they had only narrowly avoided the close watch of the Volturi these last few years.
"She won't want forever." he sighed. His fathers steps crunched unnecessarily, sounding his retreat. "She won't want me forever."
I said goodbye quickly and headed toward the checkout passing an older gentleman in a wheelchair. He gave me a curious look and when I reached the end of the aisle he called my name. Not the name I gave Jacob, he called me Isabella. Of course I turned my head out of reflex and met his stunned expression. I don't know why but I got scared. Instead of embracing the opportunity, I ran. Been doing that a lot lately.
Carlisle sat behind the wheel of his car for a moment while Edward resumed his position against the fence.
Not so long ago there was a young boy, very breakable at that, I wished he wasn't so. Not one day since I turned you, have I regretted it Edward. Do you?
He started the engine and drove off toward the hospital.
I don't think my arrival in Forks, Washington has gone unnoticed. -Bella
