Betrayal

Chapter 12

CHAPTER 12

I parked my truck on my usual spot, glad that nobody else parked there and that I'm finally here. I am truly exhausted! I didn't get enough sleep last night and the drive back to school has really worn me out. I had a minor incident while I was on the road. It was stupid really I still can't believe it slipped off my mind; I forgot to go to the gas station yesterday. I guess I really had a lot in my mind these days. So anyway 20 minutes on, my truck broke down on the road. Thank goodness the nearest gas station was nearby. Or I'm pretty sure I would have lost it and would not be here right now.

Anyway here I am four and a half hours later ready to just go back to bed and sleep all day. Instead I took my suitcases out and made my way to our dorm. I looked around to see if I can spot my friends but they were nowhere in sight. Did I mention that I forgot to charge my phone last night as well? So I can't really call them and find out where they are. I sighed. I really need to get my head together.

When I got to our room, I found it empty which is very unusual. Usually Alice is already here sorting out her wardrobe, making space for her newly bought clothes. I quickly opened and rummaged through one of my suitcases looking for my phone charger. Maybe she left me a message or something. When I opened my phone I had about 10 new text messages, all from Alice and all asking the same question "Where on earth r u?????". I rolled my eyes and dialed her number.

"Where the hell have you been!? I tried calling you a bunch of times but your phone was off! What happened to you!? Are you ok!? Well??" Alice literally screamed down the phone.

"Alice you might wanna lower your voice, you know just a thought," I heard Emmett say on the background.

"Sorry, I forgot to charge it last night. I just got here where are you guys?" I replied. As much as I want to just lie down on my bed and take a nap right now, I really miss my friends and I cannot wait to see them.

"What took you so long though!?" she pressed on.

"Um I ran out of gas while I was on the road and you know traffic."

"You ran out of gas!? Seriously Bells what's going on with you? You're usually pretty organized," she said her voice turning from angry to amuse.

I blushed. Thanks Al for saying that in front of the group.

"Nothing," I murmured. "So are you gonna tell me where you guys are?"

"We're at Eclipse. The guys got hungry," she replied.

"Right. I'll be there in a minute," I said and hung up. I quickly texted my mother to let her know I got back safe and sound before I went out to meet my friends.

When I got there I was a little, okay maybe more than a little disappointed to see that Edward wasn't with them. I only talked to him once over the holiday and I missed him. A lot.

I walked over to their table and Alice flung herself at me and I stumbled back nearly falling on my butt. Good thing I quickly hold on to the chair. It became a tradition really after not seeing each other during break she always launches herself at me and I usually catch her since she's so small and all.

"I was really worried you know. It never took you this long to drive and I couldn't contact you!" Alice said sounding more and more like my mother. Both of them worry too much about me.

I rolled my eyes and changed the subject. "So how was everyone's vacation?"

When everyone and I finished telling each other stories about our vacation did I ask where Edward is.

"Tanya came over and said she needed to talk to him. They left 10 minutes before you called," Rosalie was the one who answered.

I immediately felt annoyed and angry even though I really shouldn't be. Before I could say something back Emmett chipped in, "So Bells how come I wasn't informed that you and my best friend are going out?"
