Broken (Twilight Fanfiction)

Chapter 16

The rest of the week flew by. Before I knew it the final lesson of the week was starting and I walked to Biology. All week I have sat in the cafeteria with the Cullen siblings and I have successfully ignored the stares of everyone in the cafeteria. I haven't been bullied by Jessica or her group of friends as I was always with one of the Cullens, mainly Alice and Edward and Jasper when I have English.

I was still scared of Emmett by his large build and the fact that he looked like he could crash my spine with one hit. He tries to make me laugh with jokes, some which were rude, but I never completely relaxed around him. I couldn't even be in the same room as him as I was afraid what he'd do when no one was around.

I was slowly getting used to Jasper's presence. I liked the way he doesn't say much; he was a shy individual, like me. He would hardly say anything and he doesn't try to talk to me, which I appreciate. I was a shy person naturally and I normally felt uncomfortable around people.

Carlisle is always smiling at me and his golden eyes always hold compassion and love towards me. It was foreign whenever he smiled at me, but I smile back. I was a hypocrite; happy when I killed my mother and she wasn't here and I knew I don't deserve any of this, and yet I still accept it.

Esme has become more motherly towards me and she always meet me with a wide smile. I don't get why she is always smiling as I don't deserve it. She must know I've killed my mother. She probably knows that I'm a bad news to her family, yet she hasn't chucked me out of the house. Maybe she's waiting for an opportunity to strike and she'd blame me for something to get me out of her house.

Rosalie hasn't talked to me all week, except to persuade me to sit with her and the others during lunch in the cafeteria and the occasional smile. She and Emmett mostly talk to each other during lunch and ignore everybody else as they have a make out session in school. I'd look away and they'd only stop if Edward or Jasper tell them to stop or make a crude joke concerning them.

Alice has become more bubbly, if that was possible. She constantly annoys me with her insistent of changing my fashion taste to designer clothes. She argues when I resist and she gets scolded by Edward or Esme when I get fed up with her. Normally, she pouts and gives me puppy-dog eyes, but I don't give in. I've had enough bad in my life I'm not going to add to the list.

Edward, is a different circumstance. We converse in Biology as we have the lesson together and we sit next to each other. Both of us are quiet during lunch and when we're are at the Cullen house, we only speak if we're in the same room. Over the week, I have become more relaxed around them, but I know they're hiding something, and that fact makes me never get completely tranquil around them.

At the Cullen house I'm either in my room doing homework or sitting and looking out the conservatory. Also, I sit in the garden if it's dry and I sit in the armchair in the living room during the evenings with the Cullens, either watching TV or chatting. I never include myself in their family conversations but I liked to listen.

I signed as I sat in my seat, Edward sitting down next to me. Mr. Banner walked in dragging a TV. I rolled my eyes as everybody cheered and opened a book, Pride and Predujice, and read where I left off in English. I was halfway through it when I felt someone nudge me.

I looked up and saw Edward staring at me.

"You should really watch this video. Sir's going to give us a quiz about it." He whispered to me.

I shrugged. "Then I'll guess the answers. If he complains then I get detention."

Edward frowned, but didn't say anything back as he looked out the window. It was raining, like usual, and the windows were cloudy. I'm not sure if he could see anything out of them, but I knew I couldn't. Maybe whatever he was had better vision than a human.
