Thanks for the reviews!
This chapter kind of cover's a lot of action which Tara isn't involved in so sorry if it seems a bit brief, but we kind of all know what happens in Twilight, so it would be a little pointless repeating every detail.
Chapter 10
Tara's POV
Annoyingly Jasper was right and as soon as my head hit the pillow I drifted into a dream dominating by vampires and fighting. Eventually I woke and heard slightly raised voices in the other room, they were confusingly and discussing ballet studios and mirrors, Bella's bed was empty, so I presumed she was in there with them. Finally, Alice entered with some food for me, she briefly explained that Edward was coming down to meet Bella, I smiled at the news. However, Jasper made no attempt to come talk to me, so I made none for him. Again Bella entered the room and fell asleep, and I joined as well, this sleep was slightly more peaceful but I was alone, throughout the dream.
It was later when things started to change, Alice had another vision but this time of Bella's Mother's house, after a short while the phone rang, this was enough to make me join them in the living room, my eyes not even briefly hovering over the corner of the room which Jasper occupied. Edward's plane was landing, Jasper left to check us out the room. Following this the phone rang again, Bella's mother, an anxious phone call was exchanged and after a short while we left the hotel and headed to the airport.
As we entered the airport Bella's seemed to glance around anxiously, she seemed nervous; it was probably to meet Edward. Eventually Bella asked for the toilet, her anxious nature seemed to heighten, she asked Jasper to go with her.
"Err Tara do you need to go?" Alice asked me curiously as I'd sat there silent.
"Sure," I answered bounding to my feet and following Jasper and Bella, two steps behind, I was actually jealous that Jasper had a hand on Bela's back gently guiding her towards the toilet, I guessed her was calming her and that he would be aware of my pathetic jealousy, but nonetheless I followed Bella into the bathroom, it was cavernous. I sauntered towards a cubical and watched Bella do the same on the opposite side of the room. I slid to the floor and felt a tear slowly run down my cheek, I sat there for a few minutes, simply sobbing, eventually I exited and used the cold water to wipe my face, it was evident I had been crying but I disregarded this and left the toilet.
Jasper was standing where I left him, I wandered over, I saw his worried and anxious eyes focus on my face once briefly for a second before Alice arrived. "IT'S BELLA" she screeched. From what I could establish through the conversation which her and Jasper quickly exchanged, Bella was heading towards the ballet studio where James was waiting, I felt my eyes fill with tears once again, but I fought them back. Alice was on a phone, we were marching back to the car, it was quick and I just managed to keep up, only occassionally skipping as I lost step.
"How did you manage to let her go?" Jasper asked, I could sense he was stressed.
"I was in the toilet," I responded angrily. "I'm not a vampire with stupid ultra senses, I'm just human with pathetic needs, who makes stupid mistakes" I yelled.
"Can you shut up," Alice groaned at the two of us. "My visions are all over the place."
We sat in the car I was nervously staring out the window Alice was trying to understand and establish where she was and what was happened, eventually Carlisle rang to say they had arrived and were heading to the Ballet studio we began to do the same.
Slowly the car pulled to a halt, Jasper immediately stepped out, Alice reached over silently. "Stay here, wait in the car, anyone comes towards you drive away but return to this spot" she explained "Hopefully we shouldn't be too long" I nodded and moved into the front seat, by the time I had done that they were out of sight. I waited, it seemed like hours, I didn't even dare to glance at the clock as I knew that would make me anxious, eventually I heard a phone ring somewhere in the car, scrambling around I finally found it.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Drive straight ahead and then turn on your third left," Alice instructed. "Quickly", I did as instructed and floored the accelerator, rounding my third corner a little too quickly I braked quickly causing the car to screech as I saw Alice at the side of the road, Carlisle and Edward sat into the rear of the car with Bella draped across them, she was unconscious and bleeding.
"We've got to get to the hospital," Carlisle explained and I began driving to the hospital quickly but carefully.
2 days later
"So you haven't spoken to Jasper since?" Bella asked whilst Edward headed into the kitchen to get her a glass of water.
"Nope." I shook my head, my disappointment was evident. "I spoke to Rosalie after Carlisle drove me home and you were in hospital, she said that he needed time but that vampire time was greatly different to human's grasp of time."
"That sounds bad, but it's your graduation, birthday and prom soon," Bella responded. "You would want him to be there."
"Yes," I sighed.
"Is he going with you to?"
"No idea, but I'm heading back to England –"
"WHAT?!" Bella screeched, Edward fled back into the living room.
"Let me finish," I responded, Edward settled down as he realised Bella had overacted. "I'm only going next week and it is just for a few days" I finished rolling my eyes, she smiled a little
"So you'll miss your graduation, prom and your birthday," Bella queried.
"Pretty much," I answered. I saw Bella glance at Edward, she was hoping he would intervene with Jasper, "Anyway, I'll leave you guys be for a bit" I added getting up and moving towards the door, "Look after her Edward" I added rolling my eyes towards her leg which was propped up
"I can look after myself."
"Sure you can," I answered sarcastically yet again nodding at her injured leg.
Next night
I was packing some things into a suitcase when there was a sharp knock at the door, I fled downstairs not knowing who to expect when I found myself face to face with Bella, Jacob and Seth.
"Party at the reservation especially for you," Jacob explained.
"What!" I glanced nervously at Bella.
"When I told these guys you were off for a few days and missing out on the all the fun, they wouldn't let it happen," she nodded to Seth and Jacob.
"Everyone down there wants to meet you," Seth added, I smiled, the girl who had gone out with a vampire and then apparently split up from him, of course everyone would want to meet me. I smiled and stepped aside to let them all in whilst I got ready.
