《Sophie Swan: P.L》Chapter twelve:
Advertisement
Today is the day that dad is going to try and make Bella go and stay with our mum. It's what's best for her, however, I just know she'll refuse and talking to her would have been a waste of time.
"Alright, that's it." That's how he starts this conversation.
"What?"
I think I might just stay out of this conversation.
"You're going to Jacksonville to live with your mother."
"I'm not leaving Forks." And there it is ladies and gentlemen, didn't I tell you she wouldn't want to go. Bloody genius I am.
"Bells he's not coming back."
"I know."
"It's just not normal, this behaviour...." And that's when I tuned out, only when Bella opened the door and sat in the truck did I come back to reality.
"I told you, dad, that she wouldn't go down without a fight." I say to him before getting into the passenger's side.
"I'm going out with Jessica tomorrow so I'll be having the truck."
"That's fine, I'm staying around a friend's house anyway."
***
I made my way onto the couch with a bowl of popcorn. "Ok, let's start the movie."
"Thanks for having me over Paul."
"Always."
As the first movie ended Paul and I decided to watch another one, I'm all cozy, in his arms when my phone began to ring. It was Jessica.
"Sorry, I have to take this. Jessica, what's up? Is everything ok?" I walk out of Paul's living room and walk outside onto the balcony for some privacy.
"No, everything is not ok. Your sister just jumped on the back of some rando's bike and they drove off leaving me here, wondering what the hell...."

"She did what? Where are you I'm coming down."
"Outside the movie theatre."
I hang up the phone and rush inside packing my things. "Hey, everything ok?"
"I'm so sorry, can you give me a ride downtown to the movie theatre?"
"Yeah, sure. What happened?"
"It's Bella, can we please hurry."
We made our way down to where Jessica said she was I saw her and waved from the window.
"Do you want me to stay with you?"
"No you should go, I'll get Bella and just go home, I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer."
"It's whatever, I'll see you around."
"Yeah."
"Bye."
I waved goodbye as he drove off and walked up to Jessica.
"So what happened?"
"Well we were walking and Bella stops and says she thinks she knows those guys and I'm like that's nice can we go, but your sister ignores me and walks down there and gets on the back of some guy's bike and they ride off."
"And you didn't think to stop her."
"What was I supposed to do? Jump on her like Donky Kong?"
"Yeah, Jessica, Bella could be hurt."
"Or walking straight toward us."
"What?" I turn around to see Bella slyly walking toward us.
"Um, what the hell's wrong with you? Just curious."
"I thought I saw something. What are you doing here Sophie?"
"What, oh... You're insane, actually. Or suicidal. I called Sophie cause I thought you were going to die or something. That homeboy could've been a psycho. I was about to end up in an FBI interview room like some lame TV show." We were now walking to wherever they parked the car.
"That was such a rush."
"Awesome. So, you're an adrenaline junkie now? That's cool. You can go bungee jumping. You don't get on the back of some random loser's motorcycle! Crazy!"
Jessica walked off ahead, leaving me with Bella.
"Bella, are you sure you're ok? Maybe you should go and live with mum for a while."
Ignoring me, Bella continues walking toward the truck, with me in tow.
