Working relentlessly at the library, Mia tries finalizing her history essay. These past few weeks, her grades have lowered to the point she's at risk of losing her spot as salutatorian. Refusing to let Edward's departure take more from her than it already has, she's become determined to raise her grades and get her life back to normal.
It hasn't been easy considering Isobel and Bella have been spending every waking minute by her side. After the incident at the Cullen house, Bella's been resilient in keeping an eye on her, and while Mia appreciates the concern, it's becoming suffocating. Privacy isn't a right anymore, but it's now a privilege she has lost.
Her only moment of solitude lies within the comfort of this library. She's able to concentrate on her work much better and while her overbearing classmates are still adamant on continuing to discuss the Cullens' departure, Mia's choosing not to take much notice of them. There are a few occasions when she's tempted to hex them, but even through this careless attitude she's adopted, she can't afford getting more in trouble than she already is.
As she nears the final paragraph, her pencil lead suddenly snaps, forcing her to head to the pencil sharpener past the peering gazes of her classmates. They're making it extremely hard to remain composed, but she chooses on swallowing her pride and hurries in sharpening her pencil. However, her attention is disrupted when she glances toward the bookshelves.
Wearing a gray peacoat, a young man is coursing through the row in an eloquent manner. His dark locks appear bronze with the minimal light entering through the windows. He's gently caressing the edges of the books as if they're a valuable relic, and the way he stands and is careful with his movements resemble his.
If she didn't know any better, she would believe he's returned, but her rationality reminds her of everything he said and why she was deserving of his abandonment.
"Hey, you okay?" Bella disrupts her momentary trance and follows her line of sight, which allows her to comprehend why she had been so attentive.
Removing the pencil from the sharpener, Mia starts heading back to her seat, "Always am."
Bella follows her to her seat, but notices Mike's invitation for his Halloween party peeking from her bag. "Are you going to this?"
"I'm not sure," Mia gathers the rest of her belongings and walks out the library doors. She wants to attend the party, but her mind is demanding her not to. It's happening at La Push and while she wants to go, she's afraid of what may happen. Something about bodies of water and hearing waves crashing against the rocks sends her back to that night at the lake. Anything remotely small like the sound or even the smell makes her feel like she's reliving everything, but much more intense.
The memories have kept her away from La Push for months. It's gotten extremely bad to the point just thinking about it makes her feel like the water is entering her lungs again. The feeling of the lake's waters mixing with her blood repulses her, preventing her from thinking logically and remembering memories can't hurt her.
