CH 32-Bodyguards
Wednesday was completely different from Monday. There were no more rumors about me, just sympathy about Lauren knocking me out. Everyone knew she'd been suspended until sometime next week, and they all seemed happy about it. Angela gave me a hug, and told me how happy she was that I was okay, and so did a lot of people...well not the hugging part. Almost everyone was too intimidated by my constant 'bodyguards' to actually touch me. Even Mike knew something was different in the way the boys acted around me. He didn't try anything. Just a quick 'Glad you're okay Bella'.....It was great.
I hadn't missed much, and easily caught up in all my classes by that Friday. Edward decided I needed a distraction, so he was taking me out. Of course he wanted me to be safe, so Emmett and Jasper were taking Rose and Alice out too. It was like a triple date. As much as I would have liked to be alone with Edward, I knew it wouldn't happen anytime soon, so I took what I could get.
We all took separate cars, and sat at separate tables when we ate at a nice restaurant in Port Angeles. I appreciated it. We even saw different movies in the theatre. We all walked there together, and waited in the lobby together, but we were still on our own. The movie Edward chose for us began first, but ended second. When we left, both couples were still in the lobby, and when we returned, Emmett and Rose were waiting. I think it was planned. No one wanted to leave me alone anywhere too open with just Edward. It was nice, but a bit suffocating.
I mean, seriously, what are the chances Phil will realise I'm not in Florida with Renee...and even if he does anytime soon, he wouldn't be able to find me in Forks...right?
