The Lioness Fell in Love With the Lamb (Twilight Fan Fiction) (GirlxGirl) (Lesbian Story)

Breakthrough

(A/N: I finally uploaded again. It's another terrible chapter but.... Excitement is coming up! I think I've gotten over my writers block!! :D)

I woke up groggily; I was in a terrible mood and I felt sorry for Charlie who had to deal with my snapping at him. He had no idea what was going on with me and I knew I shouldn’t be taking it out on him but I couldn’t help it.

“I’m going to school.” I said icily walking out to my truck, not waiting for an answer. I sat in my truck for a while trying to warm up and thinking of Alice. I was so angry and upset all at the same time. I sighed and started my truck.

I got to school and parked my car, my eyes wavering over the silver Volvo. Suddenly Edward was by my side, helping me out. I really didn’t want to see him at the moment. I think he could sense my hostility because he looked at me in concern.

“What’s wrong?” I rolled my eyes at him automatically.

“Nothing,” I said and slammed my door harder then I intended. He frowned, his golden eyes darkening slightly. “What?” I asked seeing his expression.

“Alice is being somewhat, difficult.” he muttered. My heart lurched at her name. I sighed, this was ridiculous. I couldn’t deal with this.

“I have to get to class.” I said walking away from him. He let me go much to my relief. I felt my eyes tear up for no reason and I wiped them angrily. I couldn’t let Alice get to me like this.

I walked to my first class, History and sat down next to Jessica and Angela. They screamed when they saw me, and I completely forgot about the whole Port Angeles incident.

“We were so worried!”

“What happened to you?” I let them rant and rave until they settled down in their seats.

“I met the Cullen’s and,” I shrugged. “I went back to their house with them.” That was the best I could come up with. It was so obvious they didn’t believe me but I didn’t really care.

“So is that why Edward is suddenly talking to you now?” Jessica said with some venom in her voice which surprised me. I frowned at her.

“I don’t know Jessica.” Angela put her hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ear, “Don’t worry about her. She’s just a bit jealous.” I nodded. I could understand why she would be, but if she knew the truth about the Cullen’s, she’d probably be running, screaming. Our teacher walked in then and I took this as my queue to zone out.

My next three periods passed quite the same. I was just sitting there while everyone was talking around me. Every now and then I would come back to reality and see Angela staring at me in concern, but I really wasn’t in the mood for anyone’s sympathy. I know I have brought this on myself but I can’t help but wallow in myself pity.

Eventually it was recess and we walked to the cafeteria together. We sat down at our usual table and I zoned out again. Halfway through recess I felt someone tapping my shoulder.

“Bella!” I blinked a few times completely disorientated. I looked at Jessica who was scowling at me.

“What?” I asked grumpily. She looked pointedly behind me and I turned to see Edward standing there. He smiled at me and I returned it half-heartedly. He held out his hand and I took it, grateful to get away from the mindless chatter my ‘friends’ were making.

“Bella, I’m really concerned about you.” Edward said once we were out of earshot.

“I’m fine.” I said. He led me over to where the Cullen’s were seated and I stopped when I saw Alice. She was looking at me with black eyes; a fire seemed to be burning in them. I swallowed but followed him to the table.

He pulled out a chair for me and I sat down awkwardly. Immediately I felt Jasper using his power, calming me down. I relaxed slightly. Rose was staring daggers at me again but Emmett was smiling hugely at me.

“How are you going little sis?” he asked, laughing. I grinned at him; he always made me feel better because he was so jolly and nice. He really did remind me of a grizzly bear.    

“Good Emmett.” I said. Edward smiled at me and pushed some food towards me.

“You should eat Bella.” I shook my head but picked up an apple, biting into it. This was so awkward, and I could feel Alice’s stares boring into my head but I tried to ignore it. I made the mistake of turning to look at her, and it seemed like everything slowed down. It was just me and her.

I was trying to tell her with my eyes how sorry I was but I could see in her dark ones that I’d hurt her beyond anything I could comprehend. Someone cleared their throat and I snapped out of it staring at Edward in embarrassment. He was staring at me sadly and I bit my lip. I felt awful.

The bell suddenly rang and Alice shot up from her chair and walked out as quickly as she could without it seeming abnormal. I just stared at her retreating back.

“Come on Bella.” And I let Edward lead me out of the cafeteria to my next class. My day whizzed by me. I felt like I was watching everything from someone else’s perspective.

Finally school ended and Edward guided me to my truck. I felt like a baby under his watchful gaze and I was starting to get annoyed.

“I can do it!” I snapped as he tried to open my truck door for me. He stopped immediately and stepped back slightly, looking hurt.

“I’m sorry.” I apologised.

“It’s Alice isn’t it?” I just nodded and sighed. He sighed as well.

“I can’t compete with her. I see how you look at her, and she feels the same way. I was wrong to try and get in between you.” he said. I stared at him feeling such gratitude flow through me. I flung my arms around his neck.

“Thank you, so much.” I whispered in his ear. He kissed my hair slightly.

“You’re welcome. But please don’t forget, I will never stop waiting for you.” And with that he was gone.
