Hey! I am so sorry for not updating last weekend. Something came up and it took up my time. I can't display it for it is personal and it just wasn't fun to experience. I hope you understand. I will definately make it up to you. Maybe next time I will make an extra long chapter just for you lovely people. Thank you SimplyMe for your kind review. And yes, I do believe that might have been gibberish. It looked like a bunch of jumbled up words. Like, if you were on your phone and were to text and when you go to type a letter there is a display of different words to go with the letter you just typed and you could click a word from one of the choices and then you repeat the process over and over again until it looks like a paragraph, it kind of looks like that. Do you know what I am talking about? If not, well uh, nevermind. Anyways on to the chapter.
Confrontations and Accidents
My eyes were wide with shock at what my eyes were telling me. I also snuck a glare in as well. Let's face it, I truly do not like him.
Edward Cullen was actually here!
I didn't see him at the parking lot or anywhere in the halls. But he was here now. In gym. Only a few feet away.
He looked the same as ever. To me anyway.
I felt like I was staring too long and focused my gaze elsewhere. Thankfully he didn't notice. At least that's what I think.
I wiped the expression from my face, replacing it with determination and continued doing my stretches.
We were doing our daily exercise. Stretching, jumping jacks, and sit ups. Pretty normal if you ask me. I wouldn't really mind a good exercise though. I don't usually do sports; If I did, I would prefer track. I do enjoy running. I am fairly quick and can last a long time without feeling too exhausted. I also love the feeling of the wind blowing on my face. When I run I get an adrenaline rush as if I had sugar for breakfast. I know I sound crazy, but I love it.
I'm not sure I really want to join a sport though. Maybe it is because I have a strong sense of passion for my arts and photography. If I didn't love them so much, I might join track. Not a bad Plan B if you ask me.
I did take in consideration to what Angela told me about art club. I will probably see about it before lunch.
After we finished our stretches and everyone went about doing differnt sports on different parts of the gymnasim, I decided to take issues into my own hands. I walked up to Edward confidently. He turned his gaze from Alice to me as he saw me approaching. He seemed confused and I hid an internal smirk. Alice looked between Edward and I, backing away as if she knew what was about to happen. I kept a straight face on so he doesn't know what's about to hit him. His confusion turned into one of shock once I started talking.
"Who do you think you are? Bella doesn't deserve to be treated that way! Why do you want to switch classes because of her? Yeah, she told me what happened. She's frustrated and I can't express how annoying she can be when she is frustrated. And when she's frustrated, she's moody. When she's moody, she's annoying. When she's annoying, it irritates me. And when I am irritated, I am angry. So this is all your fault! Why do you have to be such a douchebag? Do you even know how to properly treat a lady? Because from what I know, you don't. So if you have any common sense, you would apologize to Bella and not go missing for a week!" I rambled angrily. He looked completely shocked and amused. I gave him a glare before furiously walking away. Once I left and was sure they wouldn't be bothering me, I let out a sigh and slightly smirked to myself. Wow, I really didn't think I had that in me. It felt really good.

I haven't seen Edward since my confrontation. If he listened to a word I said, he should have apologized to Bella.
Which I assumed he did.
I was walking from my AP History class when I spotted him with Bella by the lockers. I was a little shocked at first, but it went away when I thought back to my little speech.
"It's just the fluorescents." is all he says before abruptly turning and walking away. His hands clenched in tight fists. I saw his eyes flicker to mine as he walks passed me.
I head over to Bella and place a hand on her shoulder. She looks utterly bewildered, intrigued, and frustrated.
"Hey, are you okay?" I ask her. She nods and heads to her next class. I look after her retreating figure with a frown. Okay, Edward is officially on my forever hate list now. He can't just keep doing that to Bella and expect everything to be fine.
After standing there looking like an idiot for a few minutes, I decided to go to class before I was late.

"Really?"
"Yes"
"Why?"
"I don't know."
As soon as we got home I started bombarding Bella with questions. Basically she ended up telling me what happened in Biology and the hall. I was at a mix of surprise, anger, and confusion. Surprise because of him actually having a conversation with her. Anger because of what happened in the hall. Confusion because of what she told me about his eyes.
I wasn't sure if I believed him or not. He could very well be lying. But, you never know.
"I feel like there is something off about the Cullens. Don't you think?" I asked Bella. She just nodded. She started staring off in space. I waved my hand in her face but it didn't seem to faze her. I rolled my eyes and stood up.
She seemed to be in deep thought so I left her to do that. I went upstairs waving to Charlie who was on the couch watching the television.

The next day didn't feel right.
All morning I was getting this 'Something bad is about to happen' feeling. I really didn't know what it meant. I felt it increasing as Bella and I neared the school. Continuously through the day it increased even more.
The last class of the day just ended and Bella and I were making our way out of the building. The feeling was at its peak by now and I was worried. What was going to happen?
It was raining, but it had stopped. Now the parking lot is wet and full of ice patches. I saw Bella shiver and without asking I slung my arm over her shoulder. She smiled slightly at me and I returned the gesture. My smile faltered as I looked around cautiously for any signs of immidiate danger.
As we reach the truck, I caught Bella looking across the lot. My arm that was slung over Bella was now at my side. I follow her gaze and find Edward standing by his silver Volvo with his siblings. I give a slight glare but it turns into one of horror as I hear a car screeching. I quickly look at the source with wide eyes as I notice a van swerving out of control towards us. I grabbed Bella's hand but it was too late. The van was closing in on us at a rapid rate and we didn't have enough time to move out of its way. I squeezed Bella's hand and she did the same. We ended up on the ground and my eyes were forced shut. I prepared myself for something that didn't come.
My eyes snapped open and to my surprise, Edward was over top my closest best friend that I consider a sister. Confusion set in as I looked at the van with a huge dent on the side. Then my motherly side kicked in as I saw the whole ordeal a little more calmly.
"Bella? Are you okay?" she just nodded. I scanned Bella but she seemed fine and without a scratch. She looked to be having an intimate eye lock with Edward. My gaze traveled to the driver of the van, Tyler Crowley. He looked horrible. I saw blood and suddenly stood up, making my way to him.
"Oh my god! Tyler!" He groaned in response to his name. "It's okay. Everything will be okay." I tried comforting the injured boy. He just groaned again. Some of the people came over to Tyler's aid and some to Bella's. It was all a fenzy as shouts of 'Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Did anyone see what happened?' came out of everyone.
"I called the ambulance. They should be here soon." someone I don't know said. I looked back at Bella and saw she was staring off at a retreating Edward. My mind was slowly realizing what just happened as I looked at the van once more and back at Edward. What in the actual H E double hockey sticks was that?
So, what did you think? Did I do okay with the crash? Was it good or was it bad? I would love to know what you all think. I hope I didn't make it too bad. Again I am sorry I didn't post last weekend. It was just...complicated. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Super excited for Christmas. Anyone else? Mmmm...Hot Chocolate with marshmellows anyone? I hope you all have a wonderful day, maybe night.
