Chapter 8 Teaser

Chapter 8 Pic Teases

Chapter 8 Teaser:

Bella looked up at Jasper and then at Edward.  She took a deep breath.

“I want to talk to Edward,” Bella said quietly before she added, “If that’s all right.”

Edward swallowed heavily and nodded.  “Sure.”

“Jasper, will you still be around?” Bella asked hesitantly, hoping that Jasper understood what she was trying to ask.

“I will,” Jasper nodded, silently agreeing to stay just in case things got out of hand.  He knew why she didn’t ask Emmett or Jacob to stick around, and Eli had been particularly busy at the University.  Plus, Jasper and Bella had formed quite the friendship, and he knew that she trusted him.

Bella and Edward watched silently as Jasper headed towards the locker area and soon the two found themselves alone.

“So, uh…where did you uh…want to talk?”  Edward asked.  His nerves felt frayed and for the first time in a very long time, he felt like he wanted to smoke a cigarette.  He and Eric’s healthy alternatives to coping with stress were going well, but it sure wasn’t easy.

“Are the conference rooms okay?  Esme said we could use one,” Bella said.  She didn’t know it, but her nerves were just as shot as Edward’s.  She prayed that he would keep his temper under control.

Edward took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

“Lead the way, Bella.”

Chapter 6 Teaser

Here are the pic teases for Chapter 6:

Chapter 6 Teaser:

With hesitant fingers, Edward typed his own name into the Internet search engine, but tacked the word, “Senior” on to the end.  He swallowed heavily as he hit return, and at first, the usual articles from California came up.  These hadn’t surprised Edward and he scrolled further through the results.  It wasn’t until he had found an article from The Port Angeles Times that he felt like he wanted to either throw up or that he had been punched in the chest and couldn’t breathe.  His hand shook as he moved the cursor to click on the link to the article.  His stomach churned when the article loaded and he almost dropped his laptop on the floor.

MASEN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER

Edward felt like he could barely breathe.  Bella had been telling the truth.

Hold on to your butts...Chapter 6 is a bit of a doozy.

Chapter 5 Teaser

Here's a picture teaser

And here's the text teaser.  I will post Chapter 5 tomorrow!

Chapter 5 Teaser:

“I’ll keep your father in my thoughts,” Bella whispered.

Mike squeezed her hand.  “Thank you, Bella.”

They were silent for a few minutes before Mike spoke again. 

“Bella, I have something else that I need to tell you.”

When Bella looked up into Mike’s eyes, she was surprised to find that he looked incredibly guilty about something.  She frowned slightly as a million thoughts began to run through her head.

“I know Edward Masen.”

Chapter 4 Teaser

All right...it's a pic tease for Chapter 4!

I wonder what this could possibly be hinting at?  No?  You want some of the text too?  Oh, all right...

Chapter 4 Teaser:

“Sup, brah,” Eric said as he stepped out onto the balcony.

Edward stopped strumming his guitar and looked up, giving Eric a nod of acknowledgement.  He set his guitar down and picked up his green bottle of Heineken from the floor, taking a long pull from it.

“You get the grinds?”  Edward asked, placing his beer back down.

“I did…I also ran into my buddy Mike Newton.  You remember him?  He surfed with us a couple of weeks ago.”

“The douchebag from La Jolla?”  Edward asked, not bothering to look up.

“What’s the deal with that, brah?  You say something to him before we got out there?  He almost stuffed you in the barrel and then you guys get out of the water and almost come to blows.  What happened?”

Eric had a feeling it might’ve had to do with a young woman named Bella Swan, but he didn’t want to say anything about that just yet.

“Besides the fact that he almost caused me to wipe out?  The fucker came up to me and just started talking shit!  ‘Oh you’re Edward Masen, huh?  I expected more’…I mean, what the fuck man?  What an asshole!”

Eric just nodded.  He had to play this right if he wanted Edward to cooperate.

“Eh…I think he’s mellowed out some since then.  I met his chick tonight.  Real cute girl, great smile, deep brown eyes, mahogany hair…and she had this cute blush.  She’s from this small town in Washington…Spoons or something--”

“Forks,” Edward cut him off.  He gritted his teeth before he looked up to glare at Eric.  “The town is called Forks, and you know that’s where my parents live, so cut the crap.  What the hell are you getting at?”

Inside, Edward’s heart was hammering in his chest.  Part of him wanted to hope that Eric was describing who he thought he was, but the other part of him, the part of him that died that day so many years ago, hoped it wasn’t her.  He wasn’t sure he could bear the thought of her being on the same island, and even more so, he did not like the idea of her dating that tool Mike Newton.  Edward’s eyes narrowed as Eric took the photo frame from behind his back.

“Mike’s girl is named Bella Swan.  You never told me about a girl back in Forks.  I think it’s time you spill, brah.”

Chapter 4 posts on Tuesday :-)
