Hale 4

Waking up around 6:45 am to an empty house and rain hitting the window was like the best stay at home day. I could sleep through the cold weather and rain. Pass me the hot cocoa and marshmallows and let's start the movie marathon. Focusing on the rain I fell back asleep without thinking I had school.

"Baby stop come on, let's watch the movie!" I giggled  as I tried to move away from her tickling  fingers. We're watching all the Twitches movies this weekend before the big halloween party she was gonna throw. "You can't get any that easily beautiful." she smirked as her grasp tightened on me. I could sense I would be getting a truck load of small little kisses next. It was her thing. She was always so playful, until. Until she wanted more than just cuddles and kisses. "Come on beautiful, we've seen this movie over a dozen times, let's just chill here.'' her tone was low and rasp. Knowing what she was hinting too I squirmed in my spot. I wasn't ready to hit next base with her. I wanted to be sure she was the one before I gave up anything, especially something like that. "Let's just watch please?" I asked, clearly uncomfortable. Looking at her with pleading eyes.

"You never do anything for me. All you do is play games and mind tricks!" She shouted as she got up and started to pack my things. "What?" I had no idea where this was coming from. "You act all touchy and flirty and when I act the same way back you decline me. Why are we even here huh? Netflix and chill? Because I'm not getting the chill part." Her tone was so rough, I could hear and feel her anger towards me, making me panic. My breathing hitched and everything around me started to spin. Completely unaware I was crying she dragged me out of her room by the arm and slammed the door on my face. "Get the fuck out!" She screamed through the door.

Picking up my bag and hoodie I wiped my tears off my face, I made my way to my car. A cold gust of wind hitting me as I opened the door. Walking out the rain hit the surface of my skin. Unable to tell if it was tears or rain I didn't bother wiping them away. Instead I got in my car and cried. Cried like I never have before. I cried every tear for her. Every whimper for her. For her.

Gasping awake, I woke from the nightmare that had been my reality. Still haunting me, following me everywhere I go. "Shit!" I look at the clock and see it's already 10:00. I'm late for P.E and I missed Physiology. Getting up I could feel myself in pain. My chest hurt, my head hurt and my eyes were swollen from crying in my sleep. Getting ready I decided I would dress like a bum. It's a her day and I couldn't be bothered to even go to school so why would I be bothered to dress presentable. Heading to my closest, I picked out a Dartmouth crewneck sweater, some Lululemon leggings and my brown Uggs. Brushing out my hair I did a half up half down bun and headed out. Tempted to go to the local dinner and get some coffee before heading to class I checked the time. I'll make it to third, I said to myself. Hoping into my car I sped off to get some coffee.

It was 10:20am meaning I had 5 minutes before third started so I made my way with one notebook, a coffee in hand and a pen in my pocket. I still got looks from people but today is not a day you want to mess with me. Walking toward the door I see Alice, Edward and Rosalie. All looking at me. Rosalie was sending daggers. If looks could kill. I haven't even been in the same environment as her for more than 5 minutes and she's already sending daggers. Getting closer she finally says something. "Skipping class already California?" she snarled, again. I was not up for this, so replying with a nod I headed into class. Hearing bickering behind me I let the siblings argue.Why was it such a big deal anyways. I wasn't their friend. I took my seat at the back of the class and tuned everyone out. Not even bothering to pay attention I completely zoned out.

"Eden?Forbes? Are you there? Eden?" I heard deafening. Bringing myself back to reality I see Alice next to me leaning in and concerned. "Uh yeah, what's up?" She gave me a little confused look so I decided to turn and face her. "I was going over our entire project, did you not listen?" Oh shit. What project? Playing it off cool I nodded and waited for her to continue talking. "Well?" she asked. "Well what?" I asked back. "Ugh, listen. Please listen this time" Nodding I listened. "We have a project for Romeo and Juliet. Chapters 1-10. It's due Monday. We're gonna start it at my house today after school." Looking at her for the last time to make sure she was done talking I replied with a nod and went back to my music and zoned out again. Hearing her sigh, it made me feel bad but today is just not a day.

Lunch rolled around and I was not in a socializing mood so I headed to my car. Luckily, Rick wasn't there to pick on me so I got in my car and I closed my eyes, taking the first actual breath that gave me some sort of relief. "Why won't you leave just leave me alone." I whispered aloud. Resting my head against the seat of my car, I sighed. Not even a period and I'm already dying. Playing some Jessie Reyez I continued to close my eyes and just rest for a bit. Moments past and a knocking at my window woke me up. Stunned to see Edward Cullen standing before me. I rolled my window not wanting to get out.

"Can I help you, boy with the nice hair?" I asked. Seeing him chuckle a bit he spoke. "You left your pen in class." he said, pulling out my pen from his jacket pocket and handing it over. I took it from him and thanked him. Not leaving I asked "Anything else I can help you with?" A moment of silence passed until she spoke again. "Weren't you supposed to eat with Jessica today?"

"Shit! I forgot. Wait. How do you know that?" I asked confused. Only Jessica and Angela know I was gonna sit with them today. "Uh, je-jessica talks. Okay well I should head back now. See you Forbes." he walked off in a hastily manner. Agreeing with what he said about Jessica but still wondering why he acted so weird I pulled out my phone and started to look through my photos.

Her, she has her very own album. Her photos, her videos, her everything. It pained me to go through all the happy memories we shared knowing it was all fake or it all ended with me a little more heart broken each time. A piece of my heart being shattered off as she takes it away from me for her own benefit. She was my everything at one point in my life. I worshiped her and thought it was love. Wiping my tear stained cheeks I got my notebook and prepared for my 4th period class. Pulling out my sunglasses from the glove compartment I was heading to history.

Still getting looks, I told myself not to give a crap. It didn't take much given all I could think about was her. Making it in time for history I sat down and spaced off. Mr.Morty gave us another day to finish the prompt but I decided not against it. I was not in the mood to deal with history I already learned. Looking over Rosalie still gave me nasty looks and scoffed a few times. Just another mean girl. Shaking my head at her I got on my phone and began to pick out some music.

"First you skip class and now you won't even do the work." Rosalie said in a very low, almost inaudible tone. Having enough of her bullshit I spoke up. "Why do you care so much Rosalie? Why do you give such a big fuck about me. Last time I checked you didn't want me speaking to you or your siblings, so why does it matter?" I said in a loud, noticeable tone. Before she could answer the class was looking at us, forcing Mr.Morty to intervene. "Uh- c-class please g-get back to work, Um, gir- ladies please step outside." Getting up, I left my things and headed to the door. Hearing footsteps follow I rested on the lockers. Rosalie standing in front of me glaring, hard.

"I-I I don't like conflict in class s-so, talk it out before you come back. I-Ill leave you guys be for now." Mr.Morty said scratching the back of his head, unsure of what to do. Opting to actually leave us, he walked back in and closed the door behind us. Seeing him leave I slide down the lockers and pulled my phone out, but before I could turn it on Rosalie took possession of it.

"Why were you late to class and why are you wearing glasses? It's rainy and it's cloudy, there's no sun out so why? Got drunk and wasted so you cover your bloodshot eyes?" Damn, what is it with her? Knowing I was getting nowhere with her I decided to ignore her. I was already having a bad and day Rosalie was making everything 10 times worse. "Can I have my phone back? Please?" I said in defeat. Standing up to get my phone I stood before the blond beauty. Studied her face, her chestnut colored eyebrows, her structured cheekbones, her narrow but symmetrical nose. Her plump lips. Looking in her eyes, I had the boldness to take a step closer. "Can I have my phone back?" I whispered, slowly in a raspy tone. Her eyes dilated black, knowing I caught her off guard, sensing her tension I took another step closer. With the same questions. "Can I have my phone back?'

"No." a whisper left her soft lips. My chest began to burn and my cheeks flourished in a crimson shade. Heart pounding, breath hitched, gulping what was in my throat I stood my ground.
