Kind of a little delay, sorry!
Disclaimer : I do not own anything, I'm not Stephanie Meyer.
Oh, and I made Mike QUITE the jerk in this story, my bad. Haha, so I will quell my desires to talk more and let you get on to the story!
I froze, stunned. I can see Jacob looking down down at me with a curious expression on his face out of the corner of my eye. "Can we go for a walk...please?" I whispered, I couldn't turn around. It all came flooding back, now I know why Jared looks so familiar. I cringed remembering where I saw him last. Last year's start of summer party. I flinched, no, I couldn't, I wouldn't go back to those memories. I didn't want to remember anymore.
"Sure, one second Bella." Jacob left my side and instantly I felt colder. Shivers danced up my back and I can feel him staring at my from across the bonfire. I wouldn't turn around, I wouldn't. I moved here to get away from that. I wasn't going to let myself tumble back into that terrible cycle...
"Hey, sorry 'bout that, you still wanna go for that walk?" asked Jacob once he walked back over to me.
"Please." I begged, pulling Jacob in the opposite direction that he was in. I kept walking until the fire was only a glow in the distance, then I plopped down on the shoreline and stuck my feet into the water. The water was frigid, like icicles splashing against my toes, but I couldn't feel a thing. I was numb, in shock, having an out of body moment, however you wanted to say it.
"Bella... Are you okay? You're acting a little weird." Jake asked.
Oh, I'm fine. Just a little tired."
"Then why did you want to come for a walk?" Jacob said questioningly.
"Oh...I guess I jut thought it would wake me up...but it really didn't. I think I might just go home. Sorry Jake."
"But Bells! The bonfire hasn't even started! Come on!"
"I'm sure that there will be other bonfires Jake. I don't feel good, I should get home."
"Yeah, alright then. Come on, I'll walk you back." Jake said, he sounded pissed off now. If only he understood. Scratch that, I didn't want him to understand.
"Jake, is there any other way back then going by the bonfire?" I asked, I didn't care if he was in a bad mood anymore. I couldn't go back that way, I couldn't.
"What? Why? You know what, never mind, yeah there is a trail coming up that leads to the parking lot."
That stung, I knew Jake was upset about this but he was acting childish. I couldn't stay at the bonfire, what didn't he get? "Alright Jake, let's take that then."
The remainder of the weekend went by really fast. Before I knew it I was being woken up at 6:30 on Monday morning by my phone. "What the fuck. Whoever is frickin' texting me is going to die, a very slow and painful death." I whispered when I saw the stupid time on my alarm clock. Damn thing, fuck. My phone was still going off, I grabbed it and hit ok. Still cursing and swearing I squinted my eyes at the bright screen.
To: Isabella – Hey Bitch! Plans r all set my plane flies in this fri 6 you better be there! See ya there. :) xox, shell
Stupid girl never thought that I might not be up at six thirty! Geez, laying back into my pillows the text slowly sunk into my still sleepy brain. Yes! Shell would be here at the end of the week! I sat up and grabbed my phone off of the bedside table.
To: Shell – What made you think I would be up at 6:30? xox-bella
I rolled back over but couldn't get back to sleep so when my phone rang for the second time this morning I grabbed it and swung my legs out of bed.
To: Isabella – Oops. Txt you later B. xox- shell.
Suddenly, my favorite song came blasting from my radio. I squealed like a teenage fan girl and jumped up dancing and singing. Maybe today would be a good day after all? I grabbed a pair of jeans and converse and slipped into them. I was standing in front of my closet now half naked trying to figure out what to wear as a top when I spared a glance at the clock. Crap, how could I manage to be running late? I grabbed a plain purple tee shirt and ran to the bathroom, pulling it over my head as I went. I grabbed my makeup and put on a quick swipe of mascara and smudged some line onto my lower lash line before swiping on a shimmer of purple on my lids and was out the door. I grabbed my bag and books downstairs then ran outside into my car.
By lunchtime I was still in a good mood, regardless of getting woken up early this morning and then almost being late. Whenever I hear my favorite song it usually will put my in a good mood for the whole day. I was starting to think that the whole myth that Mondays were terrible was just that, a myth when Mike intercepted me as I was walking to my table. Or maybe, I was just high on something.
"Hi Bella!" Mike said, with way to much pep for a straight guy.
"Hello Mike," Stupid over eager boy. Mike pulled me away from the crowd to a corner in the lunch room. The closest people were Cullen's and even they were 3 tables away. "Alright Mike, what do you want?
"What do you mean? Maybe I just wanted to talk..." he actually did look a little hurt. Crap, I never meant to hurt his goddamn feelings! Make me look like the bad person here!
I put my hand on his arm and started to apologize. "Look Mike, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude, I'm just really tired and well you did lead me to and empty corner." Halfway through my apology Mike started to look at me funny and started getting closer to me. I trailed off when I realized he was leaning in to me and tried to kiss me. "MIKE! Back off!"
"C'mon Bella, it's just a kiss." He started to rub my arm. All of a sudden, the flashbacks started...
*** C'mon Bella, it's nothing. It might hurt a little bit. That's it. Don't be such a tease! ***
It was like I could feel everything happening again. Everything came back. "Mike, back the fuck off! I am not in the mood and if you do not leave within the next 30 seconds I will hit you."
"Oh, feisty are we Bella. C'mon I know you won't really hit me."
Watch me, was the only thought running through my head. Again, Mike started to lean closer to me. "Mike." I said warningly. He still wouldn't back off! Too bad for him, that was his last chance. I pulled my hand back and felt my fist connect with his nose, feeling more then hearing the crack. All of our sudden the corner Mike had led me too wasn't so empty. Almost the whole school had magically appeared and now was watching Mike stagger back up to his feet holding his nose. He fell down when I punched him! What a wimp.
"You fucking bitch!" Mike yelled at me.
"Excuse me! You want a fucking black eye too Newton! I told you to back the fuck off, it's not my fault that you're a fucking pest and wouldn't! You had your warning." I screamed at him, giving him a push backwards. Maybe a little harder then I intended too. He stumbled back into the crowd but this time he stayed there. The crowd burst into chuckles and I heard a booming laugh coming from my right. I turned and saw Emmett Cullen standing there watching me and Mike, laughing his ass off.
"Woo! Go Bella, kick Newton's ass!" Emmett yelled. His girlfriend, Rosaline I think her name was, smacked him on the back of his head scowling. Now that made me laugh, it was hilarious to watch someone like her hit someone like him. Thinking about it, it must have looked pretty funny to see me punch Mike in the face. Still laughing I turned around to sit down at my table and was face-to-face with the principal, who was glaring at me.
"Everybody! Back to your seats now and finish eating your lunch! Newton, nurse's office! And Swan," he said pointing at me. "My office now!"
Fuck.
As I was leaving I heard Emmett yell from behind me, "Woo Edward, looks like you got a feisty one!" I quickly turned around to see what the hell he was talking about and saw all four of them look at Emmett and slap him on the back of his head. At least three out of four of them did, the short one could only reach his shoulder. "Ow guys! What was that for!" Emmett exclaimed. All of them rolled their eyes and walked back to their table. I quietly giggled to myself but somehow Emmett heard me. He looked at me and winked before heading back to their table.
