A/N: Shiffy rocks
Chapter 11
No matter how many times I asked Edward where he was taking me, he never answered. He looked too pissed off to speak, which was strange, as I had only ever seen him smile. I didn't understand why he was so upset. He barely knew me.
If I was honest, I was worried, okay, terrified, that he was taking me to Jasper. I know Jasper would kick my ass out if he found out about the shoplifting, and as much as I pretended that I wanted to be left alone, I didn't. The thought of being alone, scared me.
"Get in," Edward said, as we approached his car, letting go of my arm.
I shook my head. "No. Not until you tell me where we're going."
He had been heading to the driver's door, but when I spoke, he backtracked and came to stand in front of me. "Get in the car," he ordered.
"I don't want to."
"I didn't ask you if you wanted to. I told you to get in the car."
"I don't take orders from you," I hissed.
"Yeah, well, maybe you should, that way you wouldn't get into so much trouble."
"Why do you care if I get into trouble or not?"
"I just do, alright? Why the hell were you shoplifting for anyway?" he asked, running his hand through his hair. He looked as frustrated as hell.
"I needed the money."
"Money for what? Alcohol? Drugs?"
I didn't answer.
His jaw tightened. "Who was supplying you? James?" I knew better than to give him an answer to that question. "I want you to stay away from him," he said, pointing at me. "He's bad news."
I rolled my eyes. "Fine. I'll stay away from him. Can I go now?"
Edward shifted his weight from one foot to the other as the tension left his face. "Did you get my flowers?"
The question caught me off guard. I had forgotten all about the flowers and the reason I needed to escape. "I, ah, you shouldn't have sent them."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want you to; I want you to leave me alone."
He stepped closer to me, almost pinning me against the car. "What are you afraid of?" he asked, staring deep into my eyes.
"I'm not afraid."
"You look afraid to me." He reached up and lightly touched my face. "I won't hurt you, Bella."
I shook my head. "Not intentionally, maybe, but sooner or later you will. Sooner or later you'll die. You all do." I pushed him out my way, hurrying down the street before he could come after me. Thankfully, he never followed me.
