Sane

The school day was a bit tiring and I was just waiting for the day to be over. I started towards math class and stopped abruptly when I saw Bella getting stopped by Edward or Mr. Broody in my eyes. I hid by a corner and watched as they talked amongst themselves, 'wow he's really talking to her' I thought to myself as I stared at the object in Bella's hand 'an onion, this is getting off topic, and you're being nosy ava may' I shook my head before continuing to class.

Mr. Varney greeted me like he always did, "Ms. Crowley, late again" I smirked "come on Varney, you should be accustomed to this by now" a few kids chuckled and that's when I felt the pair of eyes on me. I walked to my seat and sat down before scanning the room, my eyes landing on the pathetic jockey Cullen, the bear himself. Emmett was staring me down with a half-assed smirk on his face causing me to roll my eyes "what is it Cullen?"

He chuckled softly before looking forward again. For the rest of class I caught him staring at me, and I was starting to get tired of this shit. I burst. I shouldn't have. I was trying to control everything, but I couldn't and I just burst. My hands slammed on my desk "I swear to the good Lord above, if you keep fucking staring at me I'm gonna shove my foot so far up your ass you'll taste the dogshit on the soles of my shoe Cullen!" I was standing and Emmett was observing my every move, analyzing me and I was truly disgusted. So I did what any sane person wouldn't do.

I lunged for him, everything seemed to blur and I found myself sitting in the office beside my mother as she did her best to explain that I was just simply fucked up in the head. I sat in the passenger's seat as my mother silently drove me home so I could change for my first day as an intern. I could tell she was pissed, she had the look on her face "Aurelia May, why didn't you tell me your medicine wasn't working?" Both hands on the wheel as she spoke to me, her eyes not once leaving the road.

I watched her "young lady, now I know you're better than this, it's your first day working with Dr. Cullen so you'll apologize for trying to attack one of his sons" her tone was soft until I questioned her order "why!? What do you mean why? Aurelia May Crowley, now I've stopped giving y'all asswhoopens cause y'all were old enough to know better because I have raised you so, but I will not hesitate to lay one on your ass as soon as we get home, now you watch your tone with me because I am not having it today".

I nodded slowly "yes ma'am" She hummed finally satisfied with my answer. "What did you think you would accomplish trying to fight that boy?, he's bigger than you" I scoffed "the bigger they are the harder they fall, it's rocket science" she sighed softly "well you didn't put a single scratch on him and for that I'm thankful, I didn't want to have to deal with a lawsuit" she pulled into the driveway and Jacob was sitting on my porch with his hands on his head.

I squinted my eyes before hopping out the car with my bag in my hand. He looked up quickly before walking up to me with a worried look on face "you tried to fight Emmett Cullen? What the hell is wrong with you?!" I raised my eyebrows "first of all, who are you yelling at and second of all how do you even know about that it literally happened like 30 minutes ago" he sighed softly "Bella told me" he grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the house "that doesn't matter, why would you do something so idiotic..?"

I bit my bottom lip "what's so idiotic about it?" He seemed to get upset "you wouldn't understand, you shouldn't even be around them" My eyes widened and I raised my hands "what the fuck do you want me to do about that Jacob?! They go to my school, I'm not dropping out!" He sighed "I heard about that internship you got" I felt my chest rise and I could feel the anger rolling right back in "Jacob stay the fuck out of my business, friend or not don't fucking do that!" He watched me and frowned "I'm just trying to protect y-" "from what?!" I interrupted with my face turning red "I'm seventeen and African american, scary and dangerous shit is going to happen to me and I doubt an internship is going to kill me so I'm going whether you hate it or not!"

I slammed the door to my room and groaned before punching at the wall behind my door, there were a few covered patches from my outbursts over the years and a few open holes. I took a few deep breaths and went to take my meds before starting the shower. I walked into my room before suddenly feeling calm, the same feeling from the school parking lot. I shook my head and closed my eyes, Jasper hale's eyes boring into mine. I groaned and rubbed my eyes before slipping off my shirt.

A different feeling overwhelmed me and I had to sit down "what the fuck.." I sighed softly and looked around quickly feeling it go away. My window was open slightly and the air flew through causing me to stand up and slowly walk towards it. "You ready to go young lady?!" My mother called from the bottom of the steps and caused me to stop in my tracks, I sighed and turned around "no!" I quickly put on a shirt and some professional looking pants before grabbing my purse and running out my room.
