Chapter 7: No Bella's Here

          School kind of dragged on. Lunch was the best.

          Of course, I sat with the Cullen crew. They each gave their food, so now I had ten tacos eat.

          "You guys are going to make me fat." I joked. Today I only ate six tacos, I was trying not to eat so much, not that I was dieting, I wanted to stay fit.

          "Oh well, Carlisle can get you free diet pills." Rosalie joked.

         "Yeah," Emmett thumped Rosalie in the head.

         "Bella hate you two yet?" Alice asked.

         "She calls me still." Edward shrugged. "For algebra problems."

        "Wow," Alice rested her cheek on her fist.

        "Why didn't you go with Jasper?" I asked.

       Oh crap, what did I say wrong? They all started laughing.

        "I eat the least out of every one." Alice said. "Since I-" She broke off.

         Edward grabbed one of my tacos and bit into it.

       "Dude," Emmett said. "Is that good?"

       "I blame her." Edward laughed. "It's actually pretty nice."

       "Mind?" Emmett asked.

      Before I could say anything, he had taken a taco and bit into it.

       Rosalie and Alice shrugged and took a taco.

      "Weird." The three said together.

      "It's cooked animal?" Rosalie asked.

      "That's not how I think of it, but, yeah." I set my taco down.

      "It's disgusting." Emmett set his on his tray.

      "Hamburgers are better!" Edward said. They jumped into conversation about food.

     "Look at my little vampires." I joked.

    

    Edward and I walked up to my porch.

    "Adam isn't going to be home for awhile." I said. "Do you want to go somewhere? I don't feel like sitting at home alone." I begged.

    "Sure," He said.

    "I had an idea, but we can't go there. Have any ideas?" I asked.

    "Not really." Edward pushed inside.

    "Hey," I ran after him.

    He turned to run up the stairs.

    Don't turn let! I thought.

    He turned... left.

    I ran up the stairs and turned left into my art studio.

   He was holding a picture of the woods outside my window.

   "You found that?" I fumbled through stacks of painting boards.

   "Looking for this?" He held up a picture of a beach and a couple that looked oddly like us.

   "Crap." I moaned. "That was painted when I was in 7th grade." I turned the board around to show him the date.

   "Odd." He put the board down.

   "And, I didn't paint it." I was still looking for a board with no paint.

   "Who did?" He asked.

   "My friend, Sarah."

   "Hmm." He asked.

   I realized how cold it was. The window was open again.

   "Close the window after you leave." I shut the window.

   The doorbell rang.

   I looked at him and he was gone.

   "Hello?" I heard him say.

  "Edward..." Bella said.

  "What?" Edward stiffened up.

  I crept down the stairs t hear better.

  "I saw your car..." She said.

  "Like you haven't before?"

  "Well, why are you here?"

  "I can't?"

  "Yeah, you can. But, you've been saying you'd come over and-"

  "Bella,"  I walked further down the steps.

  "Edward, please." She started to cry.

  He gave me a pained look.

  I knew what that meant. I shook my head and ran back up the stairs.

  I slammed my door shut and flopped onto my bed.

  "Bella, I really think you should leave." I heard Edward say.

  "Why?"

  "Just," The door shut.

  Had he gone with her? I stared at the ceiling.

  "Say you're sorry that face of an angel comes out, just when you need it to." I sang the lyrics to the song that comforted me when i couldn't cry.

  "Evelyn?" Great, now I was imagining things.

   "Holding back, the days stretch on, stupid girl, I should of known, should have known." I sang some more.

   "Evelyn," It sounded as though he were melting.

   "But I'm not a princess. This ain't a fairy tale."

  "No, it's a horror movie." He laughed. "Let me in."

   "I'm the one you sweep off her feet, lead her down the stair well. This ain't Hollywood-"

   "This is a small town." He sang like a moose in pain.

  "Stop," I said.

  "Why?"

  "You love Bella."

  "I did."

  I ran to open the door.

  I couldn't help it. I embraced him and started crying.

  "What's wrong?"

  "You're not going to last." I told him. "You'll run back to her."

  I thought the cruedest thing ever.

  "No, don't even." He said.

  "I thought that you couldn't read my mind." I asked him.

  "No, I can't." He sat me down on my bed.

  "Then?"

  "Alice had a vision that you would think of a plan to become a vampire, like Bella wanted, to have me forever. In the vision, I changed you. I want to so bad. But..."

  "But you won't, because?"

  "I don't know if I could stop."

  "I know you could." I lifted his head up with my index finger and looked into his eyes.

  "Thank you. I'm not as worried about you as I was Bella."

  "Why?"

  "You're stronger."

  "I know." I looked out of the window.

  We were quiet.

  "Do it?" I held out my arm as a joke.

  "What?" He jumped off the bed.

  "Joking." I said. "We'd need a ceremony or something before I became a vampire."

   "Yeah," Uh oh. I didn't like that tone.

   "What?"

  "When is spring break?" He sat down on the bed again.

  "Next Monday, why?" I got up and ran to my closet; I had caught on now.

   "Maybe..." Edward realized that I had caught on.

   "You're serious!?" I shrieked.

   "Only if you're strong." Edward was in my face with in seconds.

   "Why didn't you do this to Bella?" I asked.

  "Her father's a cop."

  "My brother's a cop."

  "But you're brother is weak. He'll go for any sob story." He laughed.

  "I guess you should go tell your family." I started tearing through my closet looking for my planner.

  "Probably should. Bye," He kissed my head and leapt out of the window down to his car.

  "I'm gonna be a vampire." I sang.

  "A what?" Adam was standing in the hall.

  "For Halloween, stupid." I stiffened up.

  "Whatever." He ran back down the stairs before I started laughing.
