My Paper Heart
Chapter 5
Several weeks have passed since the sit down with the Cullen's and Edward treats me like the plague, for which I'm grateful. But I know it's a ticking time bomb.
It's been nice not having Jessica here, with her being gone Edward doesn't really have anyone egging him on so he keeps quiet and just stares me down.
"What's his problem today?" Jasper snapped as we sat down for lunch.
"I don't know. He's been smirking at me all day." I shivered.
"Just ignore him sis. He's trying to get to you, don't let him." He shook his head.
"That's easy for you to say Emmett. He's not staring you down and he didn't cause you physical or mental anguish." Rose snapped.
Rose had become my ally over the couple of weeks. We'd began to bond over all things baby and I was quite envious of her if I do say so myself, but I held it in and reminded myself that things happened for a reason and that I'd have my chance for a family later on in the future, right now I'd be happy to be the best aunt I could be.
"Earth to Bella." Rose laughed.
"Sorry. I'm just stressed." I sighed.
"It's OK." she smiled. "I asked if you were ready for our weekend I Seattle." She laughed.
"Oh, that's right." I groaned.
"Hey! It'll be fun." She promised.
"I guess I could use some girl time." I shrugged.
"Yes, and I need it too." She nodded.
"You two better take care of each other." Emmett pointed at us. "You're the two most important people in my life. Three if you count the one Rosie is carrying." Emmett kissed her cheek.
"Ugh! When did you get so mushy?" I groaned.
"I've always been mushy. You just didn't get to witness it." He laughed.
Jasper was pretty quiet most of lunch, so I let him be.
We walked to class and he kissed me at the door.
"You OK?" I asked.
"Yeah, just thinking." He gave me another quick kiss before the bell rang.
That night at dinner I talked with Emmett about Jasper's strange behavior.
"He's worried about Edward. He thinks he's going to try something out of the blue and doesn't want you going off to Seattle this weekend. So he's pissed at me because I'm on board with it." He sighed.
"But you two will be here to keep an eye on Edward." I stated.
"That's what I told him." Emmett raised his hands.
"You have a game Friday night, right? So he can't skip out on that." I reasoned.
"Exactly. It's a big game." He shrugged. "He'll notice you two aren't there and wonder where you are, someone is bound to talk." He shrugged.
"Well, I'm the only one he wants to hurt and if he does hurt me, he will face consequences. Even his parents said that." I shrugged.
"Somehow I don't think he cares." Emmett looked at me sadly.
Jasper remained moody the rest of the week and Rose told me to just ignore him.
Friday afternoon had us kissing the boys goodbye at the locker rooms since they had a brief meeting before going home.
Emmett and Rose were on the opposite side whispering about the baby, I'm sure. He was discreetly touching he stomach.
Jasper and I had said our quick goodbye, because of his moodiness and I was standing there holding back tears.
As I was getting ready to turn and walk to Rose's car to wait for her I smacked into someone's chest.
Looking up, I hear the all too familiar chuckle of Edward Cullen.
"Going somewhere?" he smiled.
"Yes, away from you." I snapped and walked away.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me to him "Don't think you escape to Seattle and I wouldn't find out." He whispered in my ear.
"Get off of her!" Jasper appeared out of nowhere and slammed him against the wall.
"Hey, just letting her know she can't go anywhere that I won't find out." Edward smiled and Jasper punched him.
Emmett came running over and pulling Jasper off, just as the coaches came out.
"Whitlock, Swan, Cullen… Office now. Ms. Swan and Ms. Hale… You too!" they shouted.
They walked us to the principle.
"You need to call my dad and the Cullen's before anyone talks and Edward left marks on me, we need pictures please." I stated.
"Ms. Swan you're in no place to be demanding anything." Principle Michaels stated.
I pulled up my shirt sleeve and showed my quickly forming bruise.
"Now, call my father! The CHIEF of Police." I snapped.
Emmett and Jasper sat with a shit eating grin on their faces as Edward sat nervously bouncing his leg.
