Disclaimer: duhduhduh...I don't own anything Twilight related!
A/N: Okay, my story is definitely confusing so I should probably explain. This chapter #6 is the beginning of the real storyline. Chapter two-three is the LAST CHAPTER it will be finished at the end! Trust me, it will all make sense, the last chapters I am so proud of :) Chapter four-five will be finished when Bella and Edward are in a European destination (please vote in the poll on my page!) and he will explain everything about being a GA and all of her childhood how he was there. One thing I should clarify (also it will be explained in greater detail by Edward to Bella later) everyone has an ANGEL that just bystands and watches them, a small protector. GUARDIAN ANGELS have larger powers and not as many people have them, they are to protect people that will change/alter the course of the world that's why (later in this chapter) you will see it says Ricardo has served hundreds/thousands because there are only a handful of GA's.
One last thing, I find it easier when you're reading to have a visual of the characters because it helps personality wise. Below is the link to the newly updated Stephenie Meyer Website where the entire cast has been listed! Yay!
/twilightmovie.html
To clarify, Kate is Katrina (Kate) from Denali and Tanya/Irina/Carmen/Elzear are also from Denali. For Kate I picture Amber Tamblyn (Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants) and Nick (OC) is definitely Tom Welling (Smallville), Tanya would be Sara Paxton (Aquamarine/Sleepover), Irina is Ashanti (Resident Evil: Extinction), Lauren would be Arielle Kebbel (John Tucker Must Die), Ricardo I picture as George Clooney (okay I know, but c'mon just picture it...)
This is my longest chapter and longest A/N but I'm done now, thanks for all the reviews! yay! You guys are awesome and I received almost 500 hits! I got this chapter out really quick for you since It'll be the last in a little while because I've got to cram for some tests but enjoy! thnx, freeyourminddreamer:)
Welcome to Forks High School
BPOV
"Get up Bella!" Alice knocked on the wall separating our rooms.
I groaned, "I'm sick."
"No you're not; don't try that shit with me it's only a fitness test!"
My eyes opened, shocked, "That's today?"
Alice opened the door to my room, fully clothed and ready for school, "I'll dress you if you get up now."
"I'm sick!" I pulled the covers over my head and coughed for emphasis.
Alice pulled the covers down with an angry look, "Bella it's not that bad."
"Says you!" I muttered, but I was out of bed and grabbing clothes, fine, Alice had won today.
She clapped her hands, "Thank you Bella and…"
"Third drawer on the left, grab Emmett's too please." I motioned to the drawer direction as I fumbled for a top.
"You rock Bella and I'm sure Emmett will hug you for this and oh! I bought you a pretty blue tank top!" she ran for me, assignments in hand, grabbing a blue rhinestone tank top from my drawer.
I rolled my eyes, "Alice!"
"Please Bella! Wear it under," she paused and went to my closet, "This black cardigan!"
"When do you find the time to put these in my room?"
Alice giggled, "I'm like the tooth fairy, I do it in your sleep." She waved her arms in front of my face and in a deep voice whispered, "I see the future and it shows that you will look good if you obey Alice."
I hit her with my pillow, "Get out I have to change, you win today Alice."
"Yay! Okay hurry up though Rose and Jasper will be here to pick us up soon." She danced out of the room, Chanel purse in hand.
I groaned and flopped onto my bed, it was going to be a very long day.
"Good morning Bella, you look pretty today." Esme and Renee were having coffee downstairs.
"Hey Esme, is everyone waiting for me? And thanks, Alice picked it out."
"Haha I should have guessed that, yes they're taking Emmett's jeep today, they're outside."
"Okay bye."
"Bella! Do you not even say hi anymore?" Renee asked.
I ran to the women, giving them both quick hugs, "Hi mom, bye mom, see you later."
"What the?!" I opened the front door to find Emmett and Rosalie making out on Emmett's jeep with Alice and Jasper watching, camera in hand.
"Cut!" Emmett yelled, breaking the kiss with Rose.
"Hey Bella! Thanks for the help on my assignment!" he ran to me and squashed me in one of his bear hugs.
"Umm…can't breathe." I whispered.
"Oh sorry so, hey! You're looking fine this morning." He attempted a sexy gaze in my direction.
I made puking noises, "Alice I hate you, Rose get your man away from me, and what the hell are you guys doing?!"
"Emmett wants to annoy Tyler for asking out Rose so he's making a youtube video of them making out on his jeep." Jasper explained.
"You people need lives." I walked passed the camera, "Don't you dare film me Jasper Hale, not if you value that little pixie by your side."
Jasper clutched Alice to his side, "You wouldn't!" he yelled.
"I would destroy her closest."
"You wouldn't." they all rolled their eyes.
I glared at them, "Can we please go? I'm freezing my ass off out here."
"It's May Bella." Rosalie was laughing.
"Your point? I'm cold blooded remember?" I pulled open Emmett's jeep door and sat myself inside.
Emmett let out an exaggerated sigh, "Party pooper! C'mon everyone let's get to school we wouldn't want to be on time for once, no we have to be early for school."
I just sat back, placed my earphones in my ears, and turned up my music.
Much to Emmett's dismay we showed up to school early and since they decided to continue their movie, I headed for the school.
"Bella!" I heard from behind me.
"Kate!" I turned around.
She stopped in her tracks, "Whoa, look what the cat dragged in."
"Do I look that bad?"
"Are you kidding me you look sexy what the hell happened to you?" Kate's smile was contagious and I joined in.
"I let Alice have her fun today."
"Good luck at lunch; I'll be your bodyguard." She saluted me like an army officer.
I groaned, "Lunch? Are you kididng gym is what I'm worried about."
She joined in the groan, "Fitness tests…"
"Let's just get to English kay?" I asked.
"Mmhm I'm coming." She muttered, trailing behind me.
The bell ran and I trudged towards Forks High School's Cafeteria; the social flower of the entire day.
I took a deep breathe and stepped inside, admiring the views.
Rosalie, Tanya, and Lauren were discussing the newest cheerleading routine while Emmett, Riley, and Connor admired them, or perhaps their outfits.
Alice and Jasper were headed to the same table, our table, and waved to me as I entered.
Mike, Jessica, Eric, Tyler, Carmen, Elzear, and a few others sat at the table next to ours but Jess ran to join her cheerleading friends, joining the routine discussion.
"Boo!" I heard a voice yell from behind me.
I turned with a jump, "God Vikki you scared the hell out of me!"
She laughed, her voice was like a child's, "Sorry Bells, I couldn't resist."
"Where's James?" I asked Victoria.
"I'm not quite sure, he'll turn up soon enough." She fiddled with her orange hair.
"Vikki!" on cue James twirled his girlfriend.
She laughed, "We were just talking about you."
"Were you? Hmm bad stuff or good stuff Bella?"
"Good stuff, she was completely lost without you." I smiled; they were such a cute couple.
"Hey Bella, you're looking nice today." Irina said sweetly, her and Laurent joining their friends, food in hand.
"We'll see you at the table okay?" James asked.
"Sure, you better hurry girls; they're discussing the new cheerleading routine without you." I added.
James and Laurent laughed, following their girls to the table.
"The cafeteria; where all the bacteria scum joins together in a sacramental ceremony." Kate was saying as she joined my side.
"Are we talking about the food or the people?" Angela asked, turning from in front of me. Ben was by her side.
"It depends on who said it, if it was Bella it's the food, if it was Katrina, it's the people." Ben explained.
"It was Kate." Angie laughed.
"Then the people." Ben, Kate, and I all joined in the laughing; Katrina had a natural distaste for people, especially our cult family, it was our biggest similarity.
A gasp was heard from behind Kate, "You don't hate me do you?"
Nick wrapped his huge arms around her. Nick was the only reason Katrina was still sane, they had hated each other growing up, only remaining friends for the family's sake. The only time Kate had ever cried was the night we had spent at her house after Nick had told her she was too low for him to even consider dating. It turned out he had liked her since they were kids but thought she hated him and acted in the same manner, similarly to her beliefs about him. After I gave him a piece of my mind for hurting her like that he went over and told her everything. He wrote her the most romantic note I had ever seen, since then they had been inseparable.
Kate rolled her eyes, looking up to Nick, "I hate everyone does not apply to you."
"Good." He smiled down to her and then looked up at me, "Holy shit Bells what the hell happened to you?"
I grimaced, finally taking the moment to look at myself, to look at what Alice had done on the way here. Alone with the tank top, cardigan, and tight jeans, I had black flats, multiple bracelets and other accessories and, I shivered, make-up.
"It was Alice." Kate explained.
He looked me up and down, "You don't look too bad Bella, pretty fine if I may say so. Can you two hurry up though? You spend the whole lunch time up here judging people instead of eating I'm starved!" He pouted for Kate.
She smacked him, "Don't even try that face buddy, we haven't started judging people yet."
I heard Angie laugh from in front of us; we were almost at the front of the line now.
"Did you see Lauren's skirt?" Kate asked.
I snorted, "Even Rose wouldn't dare wear that."
"You should see what she's got under it." Nick whistled.
We both looked up at him in shock, Kate's glare priceless.
He laughed, "Connor was bragging all Calculus."
Kate smiled, "How about Mike Newton, he's staring at your chest Bella."
I groaned, "Tell me you're lying."
Angela turned around again, "She's not lying."
I turned to Nick, "Okay we're almost done, go tell Emmett and Jasper that I need you three to do me a favour tonight."
He rolled his eyes, "Don't worry Bella, check out Emmett he's trying to signal you."
I turned to Emmett who was pointing at Mike's face and making a fist with his other hand. I smiled as he turned to Jasper to explain the situation. "Only kill him if he tries to make a move on me." Nick nodded and headed for the table.
"Why me?" I moaned to Kate.
"Oh, I don't know, because you're the incarnation of true beauty?" sarcasm dripped from her voice.
I shook my head, this was not happening, why had I agreed to let Alice dress me? We finally paid for our food and joined everyone at the tables.
"Hey Bella want to sit with us today?" Mike asked, still staring at my chest.
"Michael Newton get your eyes away from Bella right now!" Kate stood in front of me, "Or else I will shove my foot through your stomach."
"That's my girl!" I heard Nick hiss to Emmett and Jasper. Kate was known for her very quick temper and black belt in Taekwon-Do.
"Sorry." I heard Mike mutter as his gaze turned to the apple on his plate.
"Good, I'm glad we settled that." Kate nodded to Mike before directing me into a seat where he couldn't see me and then sitting herself beside Nick. As soon as she sat down our table and those around us erupted into laughter.
"Nice one Kate." James admired.
She blushed, "I was trying to help Bella."
"Thanks Kate." I smiled.
Everyone began eating and the many conversations began. I sat back, always listening, but never really talking. There was an apple on my plate and I held it in my hand, admiring the way the colour seemed to shine. After all the friends I had around me, all the people who spoke to me, it always puzzled me how empty I felt. I was claustrophobic, self-conscious, and just so lonely. I was uncomfortable in the clothes I was wearing and all I wanted was to run from the cafeteria and go to the library, away from the people, the commotion, the problems…
"I'm done I'll be in the library if anyone needs me." Everyone nodded in my direction, bidding me goodbye. They tried, really hard, to relate to me, to include me, but they just couldn't.
"Want some company?" Alice asked as I stood up.
I smiled, "No thanks Alice it's alright."
"Okay I'll see you in Gym."
I walked out of the area and heard a voice behind me.
"Bella wait up!"
Kate was gasping as she caught up with me, "Wait…for…me…"
"It's okay go back, I just want to do some Biology homework, I'm not doing anything else." I explained.
She eyed me suspiciously, "You sure?"
"I'll be fine."
She sighed, "If you say so." She paused for one more second before trudging back to the cafeteria.
I headed to my locker, grabbed my bag and swung it over my side. I ignored the mirror in my locker, shutting it and snapping the lock tight, before backtracking to the library. In the farthest corner was where I sat, no one ever came here anymore. I pulled a book from my bag and slouched against the wall. No one would see the silent tears that fell down my cheeks.
NO! I thought, NO crying today!
Instead, I just leaned against the wall, thinking about why I was here. I was so perceptive Renee agreed, I put to much thinking into things that didn't need to be thought about. I thought about life a lot, do I get a choice in my life? Is everything just fate, already chosen? If everything is chosen who are they, considering there's a they involved, to be enjoying my misery? I sighed, I was never satisfied with my thoughts about life…they just depressed me more. I suddenly wished I had my red truck to lie in, instead of the library floor. I heard the warning bell and ran for the bathroom to clean my face, no tears, no marks, no one would know.
I headed to gym with a groan, fitness tests.
Coach Clapp whistled for our attention, "Okay I'm going to number you guys off and we're starting with the beep test!" A loud groan was heard throughout the class.
"Nick one, Kate two, Alice three, Hales four and five, Newton one, Bella two, Vikki three, James four…" On and on we were split into groups, in my group there was Kate, Emmett, Lauren, Irina, and a few other people.
"Please not the beep test first." Lauren groaned.
"Okay first up we're doing the beep test!"
Everyone groaned.
"Why do they expect us to perform like this? We're the teenagers of today, we're physically unfit!" Kate exclaimed.
Emmett hadn't stopped laughing at the thought of watching me run.
The first group headed to the middle of the gym while the rest of us shuffled to the sides.
A/N: I'm not sure how many of you know what a beep test is but it's where, in groups, you head to the gym and run from one pylon to the next (almost a gym length apart) and you have to make it to the next pylon before the CD beeps, so it will go Level 1-1 and beep then you run to the next side before it beeps and goes Level 1-2 and repeat the process until the beeps come faster and faster and everyone is out. I've seen guys last until Level 13 (Emmett guys) but I hope that clarifies.
Level 1-1 the CD started as the group began to jog. Level 1-2, Level 1-3, on and on the CD beeped as slowly kids dropped out and gave their scores to the coach. After the last of the boys, Nick included, called it quits, our group was up.
"Fall down Bella, pretty please?" Emmett gave me his puppy dog look.
"No! I'm trying not to die!" I yelled, a little loud.
"Don't worry, if you fall, you'll take us down with you and then we can be exempt due to injury." Irina smiled.
"I'm in." Lauren said.
"How cruel is our world where we have to stoop to the level of injuring ourselves to avoid further subjection to damage." Kate muttered.
"Umm, in English?" Irina asked.
"How sad is this that we're intentionally injuring ourselves to avoid physical activity where we would be injured." Kate explained.
I laughed, "That pretty much sums us up."
Level 1-1 at the sound of the CD I began to move forward in a slow jog. Unfortunately, some idiot ran in front of me and my feet hit each other leaving me falling to the ground. Oddly enough I didn't hit the ground; I caught myself and kept going. Kate gave me a weird look as the CD continued beeping. Level 3-2 I was amazed we had lasted this long and ironically in that instant I tripped over air and went screeching to the ground. My hands flew out to stop my fall but I landed softly, still taking down Kate with me, who pulled Irina, who pulled Lauren. Even Emmett fell over, although from laughing at the sight of the four of us sprawled in the middle of the gym floor.
Coach Clapp yelled at us to move and after that, the rest of the gym class was pretty boring.
Worn, weary, and sore I arrived home with Emmett and Alice, ate dinner with Renee and Phil, and then excused myself for homework. At around eight Alice had asked if I was coming tonight, there was a concert in Port Angeles. It was a Friday, and I excused the invitation. Renee and Phil decided to go for dinner and I was left alone again. I picked up Sense and Sensibility and let my mind wander to a far away time, where I was Marianne and I had my own Edward, who loved me dearly. I felt the tears on my cheeks and I fell back onto my bed, disgusted and tortured at the thought of another night alone…alone with my thoughts.
"Bella?" a voice startled me. I turned to see him standing there, standing in my doorway. He was the same age as me, roughly, with bronze tousled hair, and the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen. His voice was velvet, velvet to my ears and he was a Geek god and I the mere mortal in his presence. I knew him, he was so familiar, so much like me, and yet I couldn't place him, I didn't know him.
"Edward…" I whispered.
"You're not alone anymore." He pulled me into his arms and his lips moved to mine, ever so softly.
EPOV
At first it had been instinct, protect her when she fell, keep her safe without drawing attention to the fact that she regained herself in mid-air. Simple, I did it, I kept her standing, and the second time I let her fall gracefully, but it wasn't simple anymore…
I had locked myself into my room, forbidden myself from moving. I heard a knock on the wall.
"Go away!" I hissed.
The sight of her, the dark blue shirt against her skin, the soft brown hair falling across her face, how she smelt…the strawberry shampoo… I roared again and threw myself against the wall. How could this be happening? After everything for my mother I couldn't let some girl take it away! She was just a stupid human. What had I done? Why had I done that? I was enraged at myself, showing her who I was, letting myself kiss her?! It was preposterous!
"It's alright." Ricardo had appeared out of nowhere, in the locked room.
"No, it's not!" I screamed.
Ricardo sighed, "It's time someone told you what's going on around here."
His eyes darkened, I'd never seen Ricardo looked so troubled. He sat down calmly on the bed in my room and even his grey hair looked more worn than usual. Ricardo was in his 50's, a GA for hundreds if not thousands of people, he'd seen everything.
"She needs me?" I repeated.
Ricardo nodded, "She needs you and only you Edward."
BPOV
I screamed and jumped off the bed, the clock read 3:00 a.m. He was only a dream, just a dream.
