Dont rescue me

Chapter 6

Bella's POV.

I finally get back to school an people rush to sign my cast mainly Vlads friends. He caught me staring at him today during 2nd I didn't mean to I spaced out, for the rest of the period I avoided eye contact. "Bella."

"Yes Mr. Mason?" He hands me a note saying I'm wanted in the principles office. I get up Vlad whispers he'll carry my stuff to my 3rd. I just nod, I've never been in trouble or sent to the principals office before, should I trust Vlad with my stuff? I walk to the office slowly scared out of my mind. I knock softly.

"Come in."

"You wanted to see me sir?"

"Ah yes Annabella. I looked over your schedule and realized there were a few mistakes. Here is a correct copy of your schedule. Please take a seat Miss.-" he pauses trying to remember.

"Himmle Sir." I look at him in confusion  wondering why he didn't just ask his assistant to give me my corrected schedule? I hear him clear his throat and my attention snapped back to him. "Sorry sir I was lost in thought."

"It's fine, thank you for reminding me of your last name. We need to discuss a few things."

I freeze. "Did I do something wrong sir? I'm sorry if I did. I'm I-"

"No no no, nothing like that, I was just going to tell you I'm going to excuse your assignments from when you were in the hospital." I look up in shock.

"Really?? I can do them I just need time I don't need pity from anyone. I'll earn my grades sir thank you though."

He looks at me in confusion and conflict. "No it's nothing like that Annabelle, plus your teachers have already made the decision themselves your grades will stay A's,  all of them, I was just letting you know and giving you, your schedule." I felt like I was slapped in the face with embarrassment.

"I I understand sir thank you." I bow my head.

"Of course Lu-Annabelle." He smiles at me covering his slip.

"May I go back to class?" He nods.

"Wait Annabelle." He stops me as I walk out the door. "Go to your new class. I'll show you where it is."  I slowly follow him to a part of the school I haven't been in. He leads me to a classroom. "Mrs. Anderson here is Miss Himmle she will be in your art class for the rest of the year." I look at him in confusion. Art is my favorite class but I didn't sign up for it then again this is better then gym while I'm still healing. I smile.

"Annabelle, please sit next to Vlad. Vlad please raise your hand." I look over to a grinning Vlad who has my stuff. I carefully sit down next to him then scoot as far away from him as I can.

"May I sign your cast?" I nod not saying a word. He carefully grabs a black sharpie and gently signs my arm.

"Ok class please grab your art supplies and sketch books." I sigh, I only had my ripped up sketch book which is 7 years old. I carefully grab it out of my bag and put it on my desk then my markers, color pencils, crayons, and blending materials. I wince when I drop my sharpener and try to grab it with my broken arm, I yelp, Vlad looks at me with concern.

"You better stop looking at me like I'm broken before I castrate you." He quickly looks away from me and I take my pain medication out taking 2, with some Dr. Pepper. Once I get my pencil sharpener off the ground I wait for instructions.

"Since we have a new student today we'll start with her introducing herself then telling us her strengths in art. Annabelle please state your nickname your strengths and anything else we should know." I freeze I hate being center of attention. I breathe for a second and calm down.

"I'm Annabelle I go by Belle or Belles. My favorite thing to draw is people, and my strength is drawing wolves. Lastly I hate being center of attention.." I look down.

"Thank you, alright class today is free drawing day like always but today we have a special challenge, I challenge you to draw your fear your biggest fear." A breath gets caught in my throat. I shake it off, I'm not going to draw a man or a heart. Fuck it I'm going to draw the thing I don't fear. Death. I quickly start drawing a casket with me looking up from it and my dad burying me. I blend a much as I feel necessary when I come out of a trance like state I gasp realizing how real he looked. Vlad looks over at me after he quickly wraps his arm around me. I look up at him and gasp once again feeling a weird tingling sensation were he touched me.

"Are you ok Annabelle? Why would you draw him?" He growls through his teeth. Wait growls? What human growls? I shake it off.

"No reason I just drew." I shrug. He started shaking. I swear under my breath and scoot farther away. Shit shit shit he's gonna hit me! He moves toward me and I screamed. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please don't hurt me. I'm sorry." I flinch when he moves I fall to the ground wincing. I look up and everyone is staring at me. I quickly get up grab my bag and run out the room. I mentally slapped myself good job Belle now we have to switch schools again or face everyone laughing/judging/asking us questions. I hear a door open behind me as I'm walking away in a fast pace.

"Annabelle." I ignore him he's the last person I want to see I really just want to go home and die. "Annabelle! Wait." I stopped not daring to turn around. My backpack is unzipped and it gets slightly heavier. "You forgot your sketchbook and art supplies." I shrug.

"You can keep it."

"No it's yours." I rolled my eyes and continue walking. I can feel his eyes watching my every move.

"Where are you going?"

"Please just leave me alone, I literally just embarrassed the both of us. I'm going home. Leave me the fuck alone." He stayed quiet as I ran out the door the sooner I get away the better. I call Henry. "Hey. Can you possibly come get me I took the bus today and there's not another coming any time soon?"

"Yeah but aren't you supposed to be in class?"

"Please just come get me I'll explain later." My voice cracks as I start to cry again.

"I'll be there in 10." I walk over to a bench and curl up. I hear a car pull up next to me. I look up, there's a  skinny blonde girl in a convertible laughing as I wipe tears away. She gets out and grabs me.

"Stay away from Vlad or else." She pushes me down, gets in her car and throws her slushy at me. I hear yet another deep growl. I gasp and shivering as she hauled ass. Henry drives up, he quickly hops out in surprise.

"What happened are you ok?" I nod tears filling my eyes threatening to fall as he wrapped a towel around me. I climbed in the truck and start explaining everything. The day finally hits me and I just ball on the way home. When we arrive I tell him I'm going home. I don't listen to protests I just want to go back home for the first time in weeks. I unlocked my door and ignore the damage from that night I quickly crawl into bed after locking up then, finally allowing myself to cry. I did cry I cried till I passed out.
