Sorry for taking so long with the update Explanation after chapter I will try to do better Read Review Enjoy! I don't Twilight but can't wait for New Moon to come out on dvd next month LoL
"Bella," Alice whined as I lay on my bed. I shifted the phone away from my ear in hopes of regaining some hearing lost. I swear this girl will have me death by the time we graduate in June.
"Alice, I sprained my ankle. I'm not going to the party tomorrow. Just have fun without me," I insisted opening my calculus book to catch up on the homework that I missed this morning because of the "doctor orders".
Today's experience of using crutches at school was in my case a failure. I tripped time after time and would've injured my other ankle if Edward wasn't there to catch me. He also had to catch me again when I almost slipped on the way to my seat in biology. I didn't look at him to see if he was laughing like the rest of the class.
Alice drove me home because had Charlie officially confiscated Lola, well she is in the driveway, he just took my keys until my ankle healed and Edward had football practice. The play offs were in a few weeks so practice was every evening Monday thru Thursday.
"Please come on Bella, it's not like you have anything to do. You can just come and sit but as long as you come I don't care," Alice pleaded. I rolled my eyes.
"Not going to happen Alice, like I said before have the party without me. Knowing you, there will be others for me to attend I'm sure,"
"Hump," I could practically see Alice pouting on the other end of the line
"Besides Charlie won't let me go anyway," I tried to sound disappointed but it didn't come out as so.
"I can talk to Charlie," Alice insisted. I rolled my eyes again
"No Alice, that's okay," I told her. "Just have fun tomorrow but not so much fun that you have unprotected, heated sex with Jasper which results in a pregnancy, okay Ali?" I finished, trying to lighten the mood.
"Fine," Alice said sadly, obviously my attempt didn't work. I felt bad for a moment.
"You can plan another party after my ankle is better," I said slowly as it dawned on me what exactly was coming out of my mouth.
"Yeah" Alice cheered. I sighed before saying good bye to her and ending the call. I looked at my clock which read 5:45pm; before closing my calculus book and putting my finished worksheet in my binder that was on the floor.
I hopped slowly down the stairs and towards the kitchen where yesterday's left over lasagna called my name. Warming up a plate in the microwave, I put the rest back into the fridge for Charlie when he came home from work
My alarm clock went off waking me up from a peaceful sleep. I groaned rolling over slightly so I could turn it off.
"Come on Bells get up. Your ride will be here soon", Charlie called from the hallway before I heard his footsteps retreating down the steps. I slowly got off my bed and limped to the bathroom. My ankle was feeling a lot better than yesterday but it itched really, really badly. I quickly showered somehow without wetting my wrap before throwing on some yoga pants; a long sleeve fitted white t-shirt, one of my black converses and then slowly hoped down the stairs to get some cereal.
I ate while reviewing for a test I had in one of my morning classes. My cell phone started ringing and I answered it without glancing at the caller I.D.
"Hello," I greeted, distracted by the review sheet on the table in front of me.
"Hey Bella, we're outside," Alice's chirpy voice came through the phone just as there was a knock on the front door before it opened slightly.
"Bella," Edward's velvet voice called softly.
"Kitchen," I answered him, ending the call with Alice. "Hi," I smiled as he came into view. He smiled, greeting me with that crooked smile of his which melted my insides. He leaned against the counter waiting for me to pack up my things.
"Ready to go?" he asked and I nodded my head.
He took my back pack from off the kitchen chair and threw it on his back before helping me up from the table after I had put on my jacket.
"Thank you," I said politely as he held open the door for me to go out. Alice waved energetically as Edward helped ease me and my two friends into the back seat of his car. She turned around in her seat to face me as we pulled off.
"So I'm planning your party as soon as you can walk without crutches," she told me excitedly. I rolled my eyes but didn't answer. "It really sucks that you can't come to the party tonight Bella," she said after a while.
"You're not coming?" Edward asked in a neutral tone. I shook my head before remembering that he was driving.
"No I'm staying home resting my ankle," I answered, feeling his glaze on me instead of the road.
"Alone?" he asked with the same tone as before. I shrugged.
"I don't know what Charlie is doing tonight after work but maybe". He didn't say anything else for the rest of the ride to school. Finding a spot close to the school's entrance, he helped me out of the car and grabbed my back pack before handing my crutches to me once I was steady.
He swung his bag on his back and carried mine, staying close to my side in the popular case that I should fall. Thanks to my ankle, we slowly made our way to the library and he sat my bag down on the table before leaning against it himself.
He held his hand out for my crutches and I gave them to him before easing my body down onto a chair. I looked around and noticed that the library was very crowded. My glaze caught Tanya's before quickly flashing away. Since when did she ever come into the library?
"How's your leg?" Edward asked quietly as he leaned his body towards mine. I shook my head slightly before looking up at him.
"Its fine", I said eventually before looking down at my fingers. My leg was aching a little probably because I forgot to take my pain medicine this morning. Edward gently lifted my chin up forcing me to meet his gaze.
"Really?" he asked raising an eyebrow. I shrugged again.
"I forgot to take my medicine so my leg aches a little," I said softly. He dropped his hand from my chin before digging something out of his pocket. It was my pain medicine. I gasped.
"How did you…." I asked not evening finishing my sentence.
"They were on the counter. I had a feeling you had forgotten to take them," he explained as he handed them to me and then pulled out a bottle of water from his backpack. He handed it to me and I quickly swallowed the pill before giving him back the bottle. He put it back in his bag before standing up and leaning down so that his lips were to my ears.
"See you at lunch," he said before moving a piece of hair out of my eyes and resting it behind my ear. He smiled the famous crooked smile again before leaving the library. I was alone for all of thirty seconds before Alice skipped into the library.
"Bella," she exclaimed loudly. The librarian shushed her. She shot at her apologetic glance before walking over to me.
"What's up Alice?" I asked her. She shrugged looking around. She smiled at a few people who waved to her before he phone beeped. She grabbed it out of her Marc Jacobs bag, opening up the message. She typed a few things back before putting the phone back into her bag.
"Sorry, party stuff," she explained to me as I nodded my head and looked back down at my calculus book.
"Well your parties are always muy grande," I said absentmindedly. She smiled at me before looking at the clock on the library wall.
"We have to get you to English," she jumped up from her chair and rushed to help me up. I put on my backpack before she handed me my two best friends.
"Thanks," I said as we walked out of the library.
Because I had crutches I was able to leave my calculus class five minutes early and go to the lunch room. Angela left with me to help and carry my lunch throughout the line. We were at the cash register when the bell actually rung and the students came pouring into the cafeteria.
I quickly got out of line and followed Angela over to our table. Mike, Ben and Tyler were already there because they packed their own lunches. It seemed like all the conversations in the cafeteria centered on the Cullen's…or Alice's party. Mike, Ben, Tyler, and Angela were all going.
"Come on Bella. You can just sit on the couch but don't leave me alone with these three," Angela pouted.
"You will be fine Ang," I said finally as a pixie with black spiky hair plotted down in the seat next to me.
"What's up Alice?" I asked not bothering take my gaze off of my lunch to check if it was really her.
"Nothing, I just want to hang out with my soon to be best friend," Alice smiled at me. I looked up, smiling back at her, wondering what she was up to.
"Hey Alice, how early should we be at your house? We don't want to get stuck in the traffic," Mike asked her.
"Seven," Alice answered automatically. I knew for a fact that the party didn't start till 8:30pm, there must usually be a lot of traffic.
"We're trying to convince Bella to come but she won't," Angela told Alice.
"Don't worry when her ankle gets better we will have another party," Alice winked at her and I sighed looking away.
I spotted Emmett first, since he was eating like he hasn't eaten in a few days. I rolled my eyes at his figure before my gaze went to Edward. He was laughing at some words that Jasper was saying. He glanced up suddenly and caught my gaze, flashing me a small smile. I blushed returning the smile before directing my attention back to what Alice was conversing.
"Have fun guys," I shouted to Alice and Edward as they pulled out of my driveway.
"You know we will and we will party extra hard just for you Bella," Alice yelled back as Edward grimaced. I laughed at him.
"You could always come to my house if you get bored," I joked. He smiled at me.
"I just might take you up on that offer," he said back before his car sped down the street.
