Chapter Three: Forbidden Love My Ass
The last bell rang for school. I got out of my seat walking to the parking lot. I was ready to leave before the bell. I am walking towards my car in no rush to go home. Charlie was probably going to yell at me anyway. I got outside the school, again I smell the vampires. It was strong.
"Bella," Edward called. I turned around and saw him walking towards me.
"Yeah," I said wondering why he would want to talk to me. Again I looked into his golden eyes that pierced my eyes.
"Um, something you said at biology. Well… it bothered me," he said after he stopped next to me. I looked around, there was people watching us.
We should go somewhere more private. I looked and saw a forest near by, the perfect hiding place. I looked back at Edward, knowing that he was listening on my thoughts.
He nodded and started walking ahead of me. I followed him into the forest. Jessica, Mike, Eric, and Angela were looking at me. I looked ahead of myself trying to forget that they were staring. Edward finally stopped in a meadow that was beautiful. I stopped a couple feet behind him. He turned around and gave me an innocent look. "You asked me why I was being so nice to you. Why?"
"I thought that you were . . . going to hate me," I whispered looking down.
He should in silence, expecting me to explain why.
"For . . . imprinting on you," I whispered even lower. I looked up at to see his reaction.
"That still doesn't give me a reason to hate you," he said and gave a crooked smile that took my breath away.
I shook my head so I could think. I had to go home, I almost forgot Charlie is waiting for me. "Bye," I breathed.
"Bye," he said gently.
I inhaled deeply, turned around and walked away. Stupid Sam, if he hadn't made me hunt that vampire I wouldn't have to leave Edward! I shook my head and got my car. I opened the door and climbed inside. I put the key in the ignition and started the car, putting the gear on reverse. The one time that my car has some good in being slow.
When I got to the house, I parked the car in the driveway and put the gear on drive. I took the key out of the ignition and opened the door. I jumped out and went to the door, hoping Charlie had to work again. I opened the door slowly, seeing no one was home. I went inside, closed the door and took off my coat. I hung it up and went upstairs. I heard the tires of Charlie's car outside. Damn. I stopped and went back down the stairs to wait for Charlie in the kitchen.
I sat down on a chair in the kitchen. Charlie walked inside and hung up his coat. He started walking to the kitchen and saw me. "Good, you're home," he said and went to the refrigerator to get a beer.
"Dad, it was just one time," I said as he closed the door to the frig.
"I know that it was just the one time, however, you still have to be punished," he said and sat on the seat across from the one that I was sitting on. I knew that he was going to punish me.
I exhaled waiting for him to tell what the punishment is.
"You are not allowed to go outside this house, the whole weekend. Starting today," he said and leaned back on his chair. "I do not want this happening again, Bella."
I nodded, that sounded fair. "Okay," I said and went upstairs to do my homework. I closed my door when I walked in and grabbed my backpack. I sat on my bed and realized that I had no homework. I threw my backpack on the floor. I lied on my bed with my hands on my face. Life sucks.
"Bella," I heard someone call from outside my window. I got up from my bed and went to the window. I looked down and saw Jacob.
"Jake, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I wanted to talk to you, then Quil said that you were at your house," he answered.
I nodded. He saw him turn around to check is anyone was looking. Then, he jumped up on to the window. He was hanging on the window.
"Ow, a little help, please. Ow," he whined. I helped him inside.
"Sorry," I said.
"It's okay," he said and looked around. "This is your room?"
"Yeah . . . what did you want to talk about?" I asked and sat on my bed. I wanted to change the subject. I didn't want him to ask too many questions. Jacob sat next to me.
He inhaled and looked at me. "I really don't know how to say this. . ." he whispered. That got me afraid. He ran a hand through his long hair. He seemed more and more nervous as he thought of a way to tell me whatever it is. I should help him out.
"Jake? What is it?" I asked, softly. I didn't want to seem too pushy about it.
He waited another moment and finally spoke. "Um, Bella . . . I'm . . . in love with you," he said, quietly. I couldn't speak, I was in shock. I tried to speak, but I couldn't find my voice. Jake and I had only been friends for a couple of months, I'd never thought that he would feel like this. "Well, I was thinking that since you... didn't imprint on anyone that we could..." He was asking me if I wanted to be with him. The thought of it made me feel like... I was cheating on Edward. I flinched at the thought. "Don't think about it," he said and took my face in his hands. He was leaning over to kiss me and I jumped off the bed.
"Uh, Jake..." I whispered while looking down. "I, actually . . . did imprint . . . on someone," I whispered and looked up to gauge his reaction.
"Oh . . ." he said. I felt so bad.
"I'm sorry, Jake," I said and sat down putting my hand on his.
"It's okay, I guess. Um, I have to go," he got up from the bed and went to the window.
"Jake . . ." I whined.
He put his hand up stopping me from talking. "Don't worry about it," he whispered and disappeared. Ugh, I feel like crap. I had to stop myself from crying. I lied on my bed, thinking the whole night. God, I feel like crap.
I'm getting use to dreaming of Edward now. I woke up to my radio alarm clock. They were playing, "Sugar" by Flo Rida. I liked that song, but I wasn't in the mood to listen to it. I turned off the radio. I got up from my bed and went to the window. Charlie's car wasn't outside. It reminded me of yesterday, poor Jake. I went to the bathroom and got washed up. I went back into my room and changed. I grabbed my backpack and went down the stairs. I grabbed my coat, put it on, I heard the rain from outside. I went outside and closed the door.
I walked to my car, opened the door and climbed in. I put the key in the ignition and put the gear on reverse. I pulled put of the driveway and went to school. I parked the car next to the silver Volvo. Edward was leaning on it and looked at me. He seemed excited to see me. I took the key out of the ignition and opened the door. I closed the door and started walking.
"Hi," Edward greeted me.
"Hey," I greeted back and stopped walking.
"How was your day?" he asked with a smile.
"Uh, it was okay," I answered. Apparently he wants to be friends.
He chuckled," You're a terrible lier." The bell rang.
"I'll see you at lunch," I said and walked away.
He nodded. I liked talking to him. I felt comfortable with Edward, even though I shouldn't. I shook my head. I walked into Trig. I sat next to Jessica.
"So," she said as I sat down.
"So what?" I asked.
"What did you do with Edward in the forest?" she asked.
She must of thought that we were dating. I like that idea... stop. "He wanted to talk about something," I answered
"That's why he brought you into the forest," she with a smirk on her face. Then the teacher called on her to answer a question. We didn't talk for the rest of the class. When the bell rang, I jumped out of my seat so she wouldn't get a chance to talk to me. The rest of the after that was slow. I walked into the cafeteria, finally. It was good for me to see Edward's face, ugh, I got to stop doing that! I sat down at my usual table, I turned around and saw Edward laughing.
"Dude, what is so funny?" I heard the dark hair vampire asked.
"Nothing, Emmett," Edward said.
Emmett shook his head, looked at the blonde vampire and put his arm around her. I looked back at my table trying not to eavesdrop on Edward's table. That's the only thing right I could do. At least tomorrow is Friday. I exhaled. Lunch is finally over. I have biology next period. I got out of the seat when the bell rang. I walked into biology and hung up coat. I went over to my seat and sat down. I could smell that Edward was nearby. He walked through the door and hung up his coat. He walked to his seat and sat down.
"Hi," he said.
"Hi," I said. I saw the teacher get up from his seat.
"Okay, I want everyone to pass their homework to the front," the teacher said. I grabbed my backpack and took out my homework. I turned around and grabbed everyone else's homework. The teacher came to me and Edward and took the homework's. He started the lesson and Edward and I didn't talk for the rest of the class.
The whole day was torture, waiting to go home and do nothing. I haven't cooked dinner for Charlie in a while, I should do that. Maybe he would at least let me go out on Sunday. I walked into the parking lot, and I smelt a vampire walking near me. I turned my head. It was Edward. I smiled at him.
He smiled back.
"What's up?" I asked him while walking to my truck.
"I want to get to know you," he said.
I looked at him in surprised. "Why?"
"I don't see why not," he said giving his famous crooked smile.
Ugh. I reply, "I would love to, but I'm grounded." Stupid Sam.
"Oh . . . how about tomorrow. At lunch?" he asked.
"Okay," I said and stopped at my truck.
He smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow then," he walked away.
I exhaled, bye. I shook my head. What am I doing? I'm not even suppose to talk to him. I didn't feel like thinking about this now. I saw the other vampires looking at me. The blonde one had a dirty look on her face. I gave her one back, I saw Edward laugh at that. I smiled and went into my car. I started it up and went home. This day was going to be better than I thought.
