A month passed since the accident, and Dr. Cullen took out my stitches two weeks later, the bruise however is still fading, Alice said she got in a lot of trouble and shouldn't try to hurt me again. Jasper is getting more comfortable around me, and Alice is like my best friend in the entire world. Alice keeps inviting me over but I have to keep declining because Bella is all butthurt that Edward is ignoring her again. Alice said she doesn't blame me for killing him in a vision, if some boy was toying with her sister like he is mine then she'd kill him too. Dr. Cullen says not to encourage me to murder people. I passed Bella on my way to Bio as she headed to Gym and she said "So I may have told Mike you and I were not going to the dance." I said "Ok and what did you tell him we are doing?" she said "Going to Seattle." I said "Uh ok then." and Alice, Jasper, and I headed into class. Alice said, "So she just gets to make plans for you?" I sighed "I don't have much of a choice, if I don't go with her then she'll tell our parents that her mean sister abandoned her in her time of desperate need. She did it when we were eleven and I ended up grounded for 2 years." Jasper said "Damn." I nodded. Class started so I turned around in my seat to pay attention to Mr. Banner.
Bella made enchiladas after school, as I went to go upstairs she said "Guess who asked me to the dance?" I said "Mike?" she nodded "And Eric, and Tyler. If anyone else asks me I may turn into you and throttle them." I said "That sentence proves you can't be me, I don't throttle people, I beat them with bats. Im gonna take a nap before dinner." she nodded and I headed up to take my nap. Bella woke me up like 2 minutes before Charlie got home. He seemed suspicious when he came home and smelled the green peppers. I couldn't blame him... the closest edible Mexican food was probably in southern California. But he was a cop, even if just a small-town cop, so he was brave enough to take the first bite. He seemed to like it. It was fun to watch as he slowly began trusting Bella in the kitchen. She said "Dad?" he said "Yeah, Bella?" she said "Um, I just wanted to let you know that Em and I are going to Seattle for the day a week from Saturday... if that's okay?" he sounded surprised "Why?" Bella said "Well, I wanted to get a few books, the library here is pretty limited, and maybe look at some clothes. Em wants to get more art stuff and clothes as well." he said "That truck probably doesn't get very good gas mileage," I said "We're not taking the truck, we're taking my car but we will stop in Montesano and Olympia and Tacoma if we have to." he said, "Are you going all by yourselves?" Bella said "Yes." he said "Seattle is a big city, you girls could get lost," Bella said "Dad, Phoenix is five times the size of Seattle and we can both read a map, don't worry about it." he said, "Do you want me to come with you?"I said "That's all right, Dad, we'll probably just be in dressing rooms all day, very boring." he said, "Oh, okay." The thought of sitting in women's clothing stores for any period of time immediately put him off. Bella said "Thanks." he said "Will you be back in time for the dance?" she said, "No, I don't dance, Dad and Em won't go to a dance without someone asking her." He said "Oh, that's right,"
At lunch I was sitting at my table, by myself like I do every day, drawing what I imagine the vision of me killing Edward looked like, I chose my favorite idea. Suddenly I heard his annoying voice right next to me "I assume that's me in the fire?" I smirked "You assumed correctly, it's my favorite way you die, I'm trying to imagine what excellent idea vision me did." he said, "Well you managed." I gasped "I did? Awesome, did I tie you up or watch you run and die?" he rolled his eyes "Haha very funny." I said "I try, now what are you doing at my table?" he said "Drawing your sister over." I huffed "Can't you just leave her alone for once in your life? You torture her, she tortures me, and I kill you. Didn't Carlisle tell you to behave?" he said, "The three of us, we're friends now, you better get used to it." I said, "Im, not your friend, and I never will be, I may tolerate you because my sister likes you, and im friends with two of your siblings but you and I... we're never gonna be friends." I grabbed my bag and sketchbook as I went to walk away Bella walked up and Edward said "So you won't be nice on the way to Seattle?" I turned on him "What are you talking about?"
Bella looked guilty he said "Didn't Bella tell you? Im driving the three of us to Seattle." I turned on my sister who said "He asked and I couldn't just say no." I said "Then let me do it, I am not going anywhere with him. Ever." I walked away but he followed "Im trying to be nice." I said "Good but keep it away from me," he said, "Such a brave little human, what if I killed you right here?" Alice and Jasper came to my sides as I said "You could try, but any vision Alice has had of altercations between us wind up with you dead and Carlisle worried about me, so who has the upper hand now?" he was silent so I said "Hang out with my sister see if I care, but don't hurt her and for fucks sake leave me the hell alone. I don't like you, I don't want to be around you, just... Leave. Me. Alone." Alice and I started to walk outside and Jasper said "Edward she's been telling you for a month, just leave her alone already." then he followed us, and we sat in my car Jasper was in the passenger seat but I tossed him my keys and let myself fall into the backseat. I laid my head on Alice's lap and closed my eyes to calm myself down. Jasper said "Any request?" I said "Away from the jackass." the car began to move as Jasper sped down the road.
Eventually, the car stopped and Alice said "You ok?" I said, "No, he gives me a migraine." Jasper opened the back door and grabbed my hands pulling me to my feet, I gasped at what I saw it was a three-story glass house. I said, "You live here?" Alice said "Yep." I said "My god, it's gorgeous. But I still need a nap." Alice brought me to her room and I laid on her bed, Jasper brought in a warm compress and laid it on my forehead before they shut the blinds and left the room. This is happening a lot lately, every time Edward comes near me, he starts an argument and I end up with a headache and need a nap. It's stupid. I fell asleep.
