Chapter 5
EPOV:
"Come on guy! You're so slow!" I yelled at my family.
"Eddie stop complaining" Emmett teased
"My name's not Eddie!" I hate it when they tease me about my name. Jerks. I was already dressed in my green Hollister tee and jeans ready to go.
We all hoped into the Volvo and took off to school. When we arrived I saw Bella's red truck sitting in the lot. I looked around for her only to find her sitting in the open trunk. I was shocked by her appearance, we haven't seen her for two days. Apparently I was not the only one that was shocked.
'Poor Bella. I wonder how she is feeling…' -Alice
'How did she get all those bruises?' -Emmett
'Poor girl. She's an emotional wreck' -Jasper
'She better stay away from my family' -Rosalie
Except for Rosalie of course.
'She had better stay away from Bella or else there will be trouble' I thought.
But there Bella was just sitting there looking out into the trees with a gorgeous blue t-shirt that complimented her perfectly. On her arm was a nasty looking bruise and on her other was a light blue cast.
I walked up to her to talk while everyone else went to their first classes early.
"Bella? Are you okay?" I asked.
"Why do you care? You hated my guts two days ago, why shouldn't you hate them again?" She commented.
I winced. "I'm sorry I was like that. It was inexcusable" I responded.
"Sure" She retorted.
Ring!
The first bell rang and Bella went to her first class while I went to mine.
APOV:
Bella walked into my class a few minutes after the first bell rang. She sat down in the seat next to mine.
"Hey Bella I'm Alice! I'm Edward's sister" I said cheerfully.
"Hey" she said.
"What happened to your arm?" I asked.
"I broke it"
"Did you really break it or did someone else break it?" I asked concerned.
She stiffened instantly. That got me curious. I decided to push that more.
"So someone did do that to you?" I asked again.
"NO!' She said quickly.
That made me suspicious…What is Bella hiding? I couldn't really see much of her in my visions. That bothered me a bit to be honest.
Class soon started so I could not ask her anymore questions. When class ended an hour later Bella rushed out of here like the building was on fire. What's her problem?
I met up with Edward for our next class.
-Lunch-
Lunch couldn't come any sooner. I was sitting with my family looking for Bella. Edward had his head turned towards the door. Looks like I wasn't the only one who was looking for her.
The doors opened and in walked Bella with another girl. I think her name was Angela. Angela got in line for her food but Bella took one look at us and half ran to her table not even stopping to get her food.
"Guys there is something wrong with Bella" I stated.
"I agree" Edward said, still staring at her.
"Why do you say that?" Emmett asked.
"Because I had her with me first period and I asked her questions and she got defensive. I asked her if someone gave her those scars and she stiffened up and wouldn't answer" I answered.
"Do you think that someone is doing this to her?" Jasper asked.
"Yea I think so but I couldn't get any info out of her" I said.
"Just leave her alone. She's a simple human who no one apparently cares about. So let her suffer'' Rosalie snarled.
"Fuck off Rosalie, no one gives a shit about what you think" I sneered back.
"Oh shut up Alice".
"Come over here and make me, unless your to vain to mess up your hair" I snarled.
"Why do you guys even care? If someone cares about her then why don't they do something for her?"
"Rose stop being a vain bitch and start caring for something besides yourself for once!" I yelled.
"Would you stop yelling at my wife?" Emmett asked.
"No! She needs a good yelling at! She needs to stop thinking that the everything revolves around her and her needs. We don't have to bend at her every will!" I yelled.
I suddenly felt calm. "Jasper! Stop it"
"Sorry honey" He said sheepishly.
Edward just kept looking at her like she was the only thing in the room.
"Edward, you okay?" I asked.
"Yea" He just said, not even looking at us.
"Then why do I feel love coming out in waves form you?" Jasper asked teasingly.
"What?! Why would I be in love!" Edward asked panicky.
"How should I know? I'm just asking?" Jasper answered.
"I think we should spy on her" Emmett said.
I just stared at him in shock. "What?! Emmett actually came up with a good idea!"
"Yea it…Hey! It happens!" Emmett said insulted.
"When should we go? I suggest around dinner time for the humans" Jasper asked.
I stared out into the distance for a minute while checking the future.
"I think that would be best" I answered.
"Hey Edward what do you think?"
"Let's go for it" He said.
"Well I'm staying home with Emmett. Right Emmett?" Rose asked.
"Awe I wanted to go" Emmett whined.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?! You are staying with me! End of discussion!" Rose stated, furious.
"Rose let Emmett go! He can go if he wants to" I shouted.
"Whatever. Go if you want I don't care anymore" Rose snapped.
EPOV:
God Rose was getting on my nerves. Her thoughts made me want to rip her to pieces. I was just sitting there looking at the beautiful broken angel sitting in front of me who goes by the name of Bella Swan.
She was sitting there, not eating, but trying her best not to stare at me. "Bella, Edward Cullen is staring at you" Jessica Stanley noted.
She instantly turned her head in my direction looking right at me. She turned red and looked down.
'Why is he looking at her?! He should be staring at me! I am so much prettier than her! I mean look at her' –Jessica.
Lauren's thoughts were pretty much the same.
'Why is Edward so interested in her? She's nothing but a freak who does all of this to get attention. I am much more popular and better than her'.
I growled in anger at what Lauren was thinking. If she touched Bella in any way she will mysteriously disappear from the face of the Universe!
My family looked up at me to see what I growled at. I just ignored them.
Ring!
The bell rang and I got up and went to Biology. What I really wanted to do was wring their necks.
BPOV:
As I sat down Mike the golden retriever stood in front of my desk and started talking to me asking for the hundredth time if I wanted to go out with him. I was surprised he even talked to me since most of his friends didn't even acknowledge me.
"I'm sorry Mike, but Charlie doesn't allow me to go out" I apologized.
"It's fine Bella" He looked like he was lying though, I could tell. In a way I felt bad. While he was annoying in asking me out, he was harmless.
When he said that I saw Edward turn ever so slightly in our direction in his seat.
"Do you think that Charlie would let you go to the dance this weekend?" Mike asked.
I saw Edward study my reaction with great interest.
"Um…no I don't think so. Sorry Mike" I said
Mike's face turned downcast for a second.
"Why don't you ask Jessica?" I asked.
"Yeah, I think I will ask" Mike concluded.
"Alright class let's settle down" Mr. Banner said as he walked in.
"I think you let him down easily. Poor guy he looked heartbroken" Edward said.
"Yeah, I guess".
Mr. Banner put on a movie and I prepared for a long class. I leaned back and relaxed. Edward just stared at me the entire movie. It was a little annoying. Then as soon as the lights went dark I felt this electricity move between us.
The bell soon rang and I went to gym, Mike trailing behind me like a lost puppy.
I am so proud of myself! I managed to only hit three people in the head with the tennis racket seeing as we are doing tennis. It's a world record! Yes!
After gym I headed home…sadly. When I got home I started cleaning and making dinner for Charlie. I was too preoccupied to check the time so when Charlie opened the door I was still in the process of putting his portion on his plate. Oh no I'm a second too late!
"Bella why is my food not already on the fucking table?"Huh?! WHY?!" Charlie yelled, pissed off.
"I'm sorry Charlie its right here" I said, panicked.
"YOU BITCH! I let you stay here, give you food and shelter! I give you a bed to sleep in and clothes to wear! All I ask of you if that you clean this fucking house and cook me dinner! And you can't even do that! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!" Charlie yelled.
"No!" I yelled.
"What did you just do?! Did you just yell at me?!"
Oh no. Oh God please no.
With that Charlie grabbed my hand and led me over to the dining room. He smacked me across the face knocking me into the wall. I held my cheek where he hit me. He then punched me in the stomach and I fell on the floor squirming in pain. He then proceeded to kick me repeatedly in the ribs, breaking the ones that were healing from the last time he hit me. I was starting to have breathing problems due to the fact that one of the broken ribs was jamming into my lungs. He then stomped on my ankle either cracking or breaking it I couldn't tell.
He then grabbed the plate of food and an extra plate, dropping the latter plate on my head knocking me unconscious.
