Story on Ao3: Fire is Everywhere

Bella POV

I sat in school and was bored. It was just a normal day but all day I had a feeling that something was going to happen. If it was good or bad I couldn't tell. The worst was that I had no one with whom I could talk about it. Alice was gone, Jasper couldn't feel anymore of what I felt. Again I felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. Tears would weld in my eyes but I didn't allow myself to cry at school. I took a deep breath and concentrated on Jessica. She didn't speak to me since Edward was gone. Because Angela was here, it was the only reason why i had the possibility to hear what Jessica was telling Mike and my other friends.

"I planned a trip to La Push," she said with a big smile on her face. Mike looked over to me. I frowned but didn't say a thing. The last thing I remembered was that he was in a happy relationship with talkative Jessica.

"When did you plan to go?" he asked his girlfriend with hesitation.

"On the weekend, you know? I heard the weather should get better," she flashed him a smile. I nodded. That was the same thing I heard. I wasn't really happy about that. Warm weather in Forks was as pleasant as being imprisoned with a poisonous snake in one room. All I did these few days in a whole year was having a headache and crying that it should rain again.

"Bella, would you like to join us?" I heard the question. As I looked up I saw Mike grinning at me. Was he the one that asked me?

"Excuse me, I haven't listened. What was the topic?"

"I asked if you would join us on our trip to La Push," her boyfriend said slowly.

"Oh," escaped my mouth. "Well, thank you very much for inviting me but I think I would prefer to stay home. You know, I have a problem with the strange warmth here."

My former friend shot me a happy glance which told me, I made the right decision. Just when Mike tried to change my mind, the bell rang. I never was that happy to hear it as I was right now. I stood up and left the room together with Angela.

"Should I stay? We could watch a movie at my house. Then you aren't lonely," Angela started the conversation.

"Oh, Angela, that is really nice of you but... These are days you don't want to go through me. I am a terrible person when I have a headache."

The girl beside me laughed but nodded. The rest of day went by, without anyone asking me if I would join them in La Push.

After Edward had left me. There was one other reason why I wouldn't go to La Push anymore. I knew about the shape shifters but they were never the less not happy to see me. Jake was a big help to ground me again, after he changed for the first time, the contact broke apart. I understand though that they didn't want any contact with me. I was the girl who fell in love with a vampire after all.

When I arrived home, Charlie wasn't there but a message that it would be late tonight. He was in charge for emergencies at night this week. I blinked. The last time, he was in charge of this service I was two, I think. Mom told me that he as the chief was not often in charge of it.

I shrugged and cooked myself dinner. I put Charlie's dinner in the microwave and went upstairs to do my homework. While I dod them, I started the antique, like I start to call the computer in my room. It was one of the oldest models, it did its job though.

Softly, I smiled as I read the mail of mom. Quickly, I answered so that she wouldn't be worried if I fell back in my state of mind, when a certain vampire had left me in when he left Forks. That was the time I wouldn't like to repeat. But I realized I wasn't in love with him. I liked how he cared about me and he would rather die than to see me hurt. It was my first time someone said that to me. Of course Mom and Charlie liked me and I liked them, I liked Phil. But I realized it wasn't love long time ago. I was the one who always in charge of Mom. I had to pay the bills, look after mom, and make sure she didn't buy anything that she will lose interest in a month. I was more mom's mom than the other way around. It was nice to lose this feeling and I was cared about.

The only thing I miss was my second family. I missed of how Emmett would laugh at me so I had a feeling that there was an earthquake. I missed Jasper who always knew what I was feeling and smiled at me like nothing in the world will shock him. I even missed Alice an annoying but a cute pixie even if I was her human sized dress-up doll. I never expected to miss Rosalie though. She had made it clear that she didn't care about me and that she had a big problem with me. After I asked her openly she couldn't understand why I was throwing everything away while she couldn't have them again. They made it clear when they left, I wasn't fit to be a vampire. I would be a big catastrophe if I was changed.

I shook the feeling and started to clean. My bedroom was a living mess if I could put it that way. All of my furniture was clothes, expect my closet, which was emptied. I picked them up and wash them.

After that I started to clean the kitchen, while I hummed a song I liked but didn't know the name of it.

At ten o'clock I finished the house and went to bed. I woke up at two o'clock in the morning. The window was open, I was pretty sure I shut it. A shape was bent over me.

"Ah, so you're awake, that would be a lot easier," unfamiliar male voice said. I screamed but a hand was pressed on my mouth. "I will appreciate if you stayed quiet," the voice hissed. By the hissed and the icy and I knew it was a vampire.

Why would a vampire would be in my room?!
