[This Does Not Have A Title]

They were back. I shouldn't have been surprised when I realized it was because of Bella.

Not to sound jealous or anything, but she had this pull on people that I didn't like. I saw it with Jake, and now with Cullens. Gods, even the pack's trying to protect her. It's mostly Jake but he's like the pack's Beta wolf. He had power over the pack but not as much as Sam.

And there she sat a few tables away from mine. She had come by earlier to ask if I wanted to sit with them. I told her I'd rather not sit with the bloodsuckers. She had looked like she wanted to say something but the Cullens had pulled her away before she could.

Every few seconds I could feel her gaze on me. It creeped me out, especially with all the death surrounding her.

It was like she was expecting me to walk over and apologize for those things that I had said before. Honestly, I did not regret saying a single thing.

I said what I thought she needed to know. Even if it was a harsh truth.

Bella was doing fine now. She was resting up in Emily's guestroom where just days earlier I had been doing the same thing after almost dying.

I'm not going to lie though, I hated that Jake was worrying about her as if it hadn't been her own fault she nearly drowned.

"You like danger?"

She looked surprised but nodded. "I guess so."

"Why?"

Bella shrugged. "The thrill of the rush."

"I don't believe you," I wanted to say, but instead, I said, "I'm in danger every day. We should switch places since you love the feeling so much."

"I didn't mean it that way," she muttered. "I get this feeling, whenever there's something dangerous."

I do too. It's called fear. I'd be stupid not to acknowledge that I'm afraid.

"I just need to feel it, so...."

And then I realized. "It's him, isn't it? The vampire you're in love with? You miss being in danger because of him."

She shook her head. "No, I miss him. He kept me safe. He made me promise to stay safe."

Twisted logic, babe. I don't get why you're trying to kill yourself.

"You're breaking that promise, you know." Being a demigod, I understand that there are consequences to breaking promises, especially when you swear on the Styx. Bella didn't swear on the river but I knew there was going to be a consequence to this.

"But it's like he's still here, with me. I can just hear him telling me that I'm doing something stupid."

I felt the anger rising and I tried to stay calm. "You know how selfish you sound?"

She was taken aback. I mean, I did just call her out on her stupidity. "Excuse me?"

"I know people who risk their lives when they're out in public. Being a demigod, especially a child of one of the twelve Olympians, there are monsters just wanting to have us for dinner. Sometimes we don't even live long enough to go to college."

I could tell she wanted to say something but I didn't give her the chance to speak.

"You've got that redhead vampire after you. Don't try to kill yourself because of some guy who isn't even worth it. I'm not saying you should go ahead and let everyone else take care of you, because I sure as Hades don't want to be some kind of protector. If you wanna put yourself in some more danger then at least do it for something that actually matters." And then I headed out the door.

I might have been a litle too harsh but there was no way I was going to admit that out loud. I wasn't going to apologize either if that was what she wanted.

The period passed by and Bella hadn't approached me. In fact, she stayed glued to her vampire boyfriend's side. I wasn't sure if I was thankful for that. It was really uncomfortable really. I had the vampires plus their pet human staring at me.

I really wished they hadn't come back.

A/N:

This chapter's really short and sucks but I wanted to put something up. Sorry that it's not exactly good quality. Haven't been in the mood to really write this and I'm still kinda obsessed with my k-pop and my 5sos fanfics. Once the hype goes down then maybe I'll be able to focus on Ashley, Embry and the rest. In the meantime, check out my other fanfics (but only if you want, bc I'm not sure if you're into BTS or 5SOS)

Also any suggestions on how to improve this chapter. I'll go back and edit this if you guys want me to.
