Return to Forks
Chapter 10
BPOV
I awoke ready to go back to school after the holidays with a renewed energy.
Edward had brought out something in me these past few days and I was always smiling, he was always with me and I even enjoyed my two shopping trips with Alice and Rose.
Flashback
"Bella I can't believe you agreed to go shopping with us." Alice squealed in a high pitch voice.
"Well, Edward promised me a special night out." I smiled.
Alice squealed and jumped up and down.
"I can't believe that Edward has helped you so much in such a short time and I'm glad that Jasper is happy now too." Rose smiled.
We went shopping and Alice bought me a few outfits, per Edward.
"I just can't believe how I feel about Edward. He's brought out feelings I never thought I'd never feel for anyone. I even smile for no reason now. It feels good. I feel normal, finally." I stopped and smiled at the girls and they both stopped and smiled at me and looked and asked permission with their eyes for a hug, I grabbed them and hugged them tight until we were all crying.
"You both are the sisters I never knew I wanted. Thanks so much for everything. I love you so much!" We all started giggling.
"Now let's eat!" I smiled and ran to the pizza place.
End Flashback
There was a knock on my bedroom door and it opened.
"Hey beautiful." Edward peeked in.
"Hey, come in." I smiled, I was at my vanity.
"You look good today, is that new?" he asked.
"Yeah, I got it on my shopping trip with Alice and Rose." I smiled.
He smiled and told me to close my eyes he had a surprise for me.
"Edward, I hate surprises." I whined.
"I know. But, it's from me., You'll adore it." he chuckled.
I smiled and closed my eyes.
I felt a box in my hands and opened my eyes.
"Open it." Edward smiled.
I opened the box and gasped, there was a beautiful jewelry set in there.
"Edward and I can't accept this." I said.
"Um, yes, you can and will. My mom will be terribly upset if you don't." he pouted.
"Your mom bought this?' I questioned.
"Well I asked her opinion.
"Oh." I said.
He took the necklace out and put it on me and then the bracelet and I put the earrings in.
"Edward, I hope these aren't real diamonds." I said.
"Oh, um, no. They're, um, crystals, yeah, crystals. My mom said." he mumbled something and kissed my neck.
"Now, lets go, we'll be late for our first day back." he smiled and grabbed my hand.
I was glad my ribs had healed, Edward's hand was just in an ace bandage now, so we were healing well together.
We arrived at school and Alice ran over from Felix and wrapped herself around me.
"OMG! You look fantastic in the blue sweater, that v-neck shows off your boobs and those jeans make your ass look awesome. Those boots look great too, do I know how to shop for you or what?" she stopped and then grabbed Rose and me and pulled us away from the guys.
"Holy Shit! Rose, he's a sneaky shit isn't he? Look!" she giggled.
Rose gasped.
I looked at them confused and they were looking at my jewelry.
"Oh, isn't it pretty. Edward and your mom got it for me, some sort of crystal he said." I smiled.
They both laughed and giggled.
Edward walked over and saw them and gave them a murderous glare.
"Just because your men are to cheap to buy you anything doesn't mean you need to laugh and be jealous of Bella's" he snapped.
"Edward, we would never!" Rose glared.
"Edward. Please. They were complimenting me on it. Behave!" I snapped and walked towards the school.
He ran after me.
"Bells, I'm sorry. Most girls are jealous. I'm sorry." He grabbed my arm and turned me around and kissed me passionately in the hallway.
We were kissing when someone shoved into us.
"Oh, so sorry." It was Tanya.
"Oh, you date trash now?" she snapped at Edward.
"No, I took the trash out. I found the treasure!" he smiled.
"And you gave her your grandmothers jewelry?" she snapped.
My hand went to the necklace and he turned to me.
"Oh, you didn't tell her, she doesn't know. Did you lie to her and tell her it was fake or something, to make her feel worthy? That's so sweet Edward. You know I'm the only one worthy of those." Tanya sneered and shoved past me, shoving me into a locker.
I took off into the girls bathroom with Edward behind me, but stopping at the door.
My cell phone ringing, it was Edward's ring tone, I finally turned it off and slid to the floor, taking the jewelry off and sliding it into my backpack, I can't believe he wouldn't tell me about that.
When it was about half over, I called dad and told him I wasn't feeling well, told him I must have eaten something bad, he asked if I needed one of my brothers to drive me home, I told him no, I could walk, it wasn't to far, I'd be fine, so I went to the office and they wrote me out to go home.
About 20 minutes later I was home to a quite house.
I called dad and told him I was fine and going to bed.
I took the jewelry out of my bag and placed it into the box, wrote a note to Edward and told him I was upset at him for lying to me and I couldn't except this.
And I needed time.
I put it in a bag and sat it on the kitchen table, I text Alice and let her know it was there and to tell Edward, because I knew they'd be texting me at lunch.
I then turned off my phone and changed into my old sweats and crawled into bed and cried.
How could everything go from being perfect to back to the way it was in just a few seconds?
I don't understand?
Maybe I'm not meant to be happy.
Maybe I should end it?
Maybe I should have done it a long time ago.
I don't think I'll ever be happy, someone will always disappoint me or upset me!
Life just isn't fair.
My dad loves me and he's the only one who hasn't lied to me, but that's it.
Everyone else has.
So what's the use in living.
By the end of this inner dialogue, I'm crying so hard, I can barely catch my breath.
Maybe a nice hot bath will calm me down.
I look at the clock and it's 3:00pm, the boys will be home soon.
I draw a scolding hot bath and add bubbles, I just need to relax, I'm so fucking stressed, but really, what do I have to live for?
I think about this as I submerge my body in the water.
A/N:
Sorry for the shortness, just trying to get caught up…
It's been forever…
I didn't realize I how long it's been!
And then I was w/o Internet for almost a month b/c I moved…
Sorry about that!
I promise I won't be that long anymore…
