I understand that a lot of you probably won't read this now but to those who do please review?!
Prologue
I glanced over at the loud snoring form next to me. I then curled my legs up to my body and cursed at myself for being so stupid. Again.
This wasn't the first time that Emmett McCarty ended up in my bed the morning after a party. No, actually this happened more times then I could count anymore. Truth be told, I only did this because I was madly and insanely in love with him. Or so, I believed. Alice, my best friend and his sister, insists that it's only because he was my first. According to her all girls are attached to the guy they lose their V-card to. I guess she would know since she lost her a long time ago.
"Baby?" He groaned. I smiled internally and turned to him. He was just waking up. "Come here." He said in his sleepy voice. I obeyed and curled my half-naked body into his. I felt right in Emmett's arms, even if it only lasted for a few minutes. I savored every minute with him. "That party was crazy last night." He laughed.
"Seemed like every other party to me." I sighed. "I was thinking…" I bit my lip and then looked up at him. "Maybe we should do something together…you know other then party…"
"Bella…" He pulled away from me. I sat up and reached for his t-shirt since I was only wearing my bra and panties. "I care about you…"
"But you don't want to actually be with me other then for a sex buddy, right?" I raised my voice a little.
"You knew what was going on before we even started this." He spoke harshly.
"Maybe I thought things would change. Maybe I thought you'd actually develop some fucking feelings for me!" I had to get out of his house. I was angry but we both knew I wouldn't leave. This happened a lot. Things never changed for us. The next weekend I would end up right back in his bed. Part of me wished I could stop it. But the other part of me knew that without this I wouldn't have him in my life. I'd rather have him this way then not have him at all.
"Stop being so dramatic and get your sexy ass back over here." I gave in and he accepted me back in his arms.
"I'm sorry…" I whispered.
"It's fine." He shrugged.
I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes. Tomorrow we would be starting our first day of senior year. Tomorrow I vowed to let everything change. I decided right then and there that this was the last time I ended up in Emmett McCarty's bed. Unless, I held his heart; which I knew wasn't going to happen.
Chapter 1
"Good Morning, Senior." A kiss landed on my cheek from the lips of the only woman I've ever known as my Mother. She was grinning widely as she held a plate of pancakes in her hands. They smelled delicious but I was feeling far too nervous to be able to actually sit down and eat. "I put pop tart's in your school bag in case you're hungry later, because I know I won't be able to get you to sit down long enough to have a proper breakfast."
"Sorry, Mom." I laughed grabbing my truck keys from the counter. "Is Leah ready?" I asked about my fourteen year old sister who would be starting to freshman year.
"She's riding the bus, you go ahead." Mom nodded. I smiled and kissed her cheek. "Have a good first day, sweetie!" She yelled after me as I rushed out the front door of my childhood home.
I climbed into the cab of my old rusty truck. I could give or take the thing but since it ran and meant I didn't have to ride the bus I figured I'd take it. It was better then nothing.
I took a deep breath as I drove into the parking lot of Fork's High. I spotted my group of friends already standing by Emmett's black jeep. I saw him smiling big with his arm around a strange blond girls shoulder. I frowned as I parked my truck a couple of spots away from where they were standing. I knew I couldn't show my jealousy so I put on a fake smile for my friends.
I got out of the truck and was greeted by Alice McCarty, Emmett's baby sister. She was adopted when she was six which explained why she was so tiny and Emmett was so large.
"Good Morning, Sunshine." She smiled and pulled me into a hug instantly.
"Morning." I sighed and hugged her back.
"We're senior's now, Bella-Bee! You need to cheer up!" She tried. "Come on, we have some new kids that you should really meet." She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards our friends.
Emmett and the blonde girl had disappeared when we met up with the others. I bit my lip nervously knowing Emmett's reputation with girls. I just knew what he was doing and I really didn't like it. I wasn't paying attention really when I felt arms around my waist. I hoped for a second that it was Emmett but I knew it wasn't when I didn't smell his smell. Instead of smelled Edward Cullen. I turned around and he pulled me into his arms
"I've missed you Bella-Bee!" He squealed twirling me around. Edward Cullen was my absolute best friend and had been since the fourth grade. He was probably the most gorgeous guy in the world, with his piercing green eyes and perfectly shaped face, not to mention that amazingly awkward bronze hair that rest atop his head. I would have probably gone after him if he was actually into girls.
Two years ago Edward told me what I already knew. He was into guys. Edward was gay and I was perfectly fine with that. His sexuality never made a difference to our friendship. I seriously could have cared less what Edward was into.
"I've missed you too, Edward!" I laughed as he set me down. "How was California?" I asked. Edward had spent his entire summer in Los Angeles with his older sister, Victoria.
"Perfect! I already know I'm moving out there once I'm out of this hell hole." He grinned. That scared me. I had been seriously out of my element this summer without Edward, I wasn't sure how I would go without him after this year.
A couple of seconds later Alice stepped between us and said she really wanted me to meet someone. I nodded shyly unsure if I really wanted to meet someone new. I was really bad with first impressions.
"Bella, this is Jasper Hale. Jasper this is Bella Swan." She pulled a tall blonde guy from beside Emmett's jeep. I hadn't even noticed him when I pulled up to the school. His piercing blue eyes startled me. I gasped as his eyes met mine. He was really cute…well beyond cute, this guy was hot and made my stomach turn in knots. His shaggy hair made me want to reach out and comb my fingers through it.
"It's nice to meet you, Bella Swan." I swooned as the sound of his southern voice. I should have noticed he was from the south due to his entire get-up. Those cowboy boots, those tight jeans and that plaid shit…should have told me before I even heard him speak.
"Yeah, you too." I said quickly in an unsure voice. Jasper gave me a slight smile before excusing himself from our group. I looked over at Alice who was attached to her boyfriend, James Volturi. She nodded at me through her giggles. She knew exactly what I was trying to say with my eyes. That Jasper Hale sure was something and I suddenly couldn't wait to get to know more about him.
I think the best thing about him was that just by looking at him he made me forget completely about Emmett McCarty.
"Holy shit is that boy sexy." Edward whistled in my ear.
"You have a boyfriend." I reminded him.
"I'm not going to cheat on Jacob with a guy who is clearly straight." He rolled his eyes at me. "My gaydar didn't even budge."
"Oh." I nodded. "But, you shouldn't even cheat on Jacob with a gay guy. He's a good guy, Edward. He loves you and…"
"I would never cheat on Jacob, Bella-Bee. I love him far too much to ever lose him." He assured me.
"Good." I nodded smiling. A few minutes later the bell rang for homeroom. I looked around as everyone started hurrying towards the school but I was looking for a certain Emmett McCarty who was nowhere to be seen. Edward tugged on my arm and looped his through mine pulling me towards the school.
Everyone seemed to be hyped up about senior year but I couldn't get into it. I started to wonder if my previously fake smile would be plastered on my face all year.
"Fake smile's really don't suit you, Bella." Edward said in my ear as we walked.
"Shut up." I glared at him.
"I'm only being honest."
"Well, honesty doesn't suit you." I retorted and he just laughed.
He dropped me off at my homeroom before he went off to his own. I sat down in the same seat that I had sat in since Freshman year and waited until the teacher arrived. James walked into the class and sat down next to me. He and I weren't really close but we got along for her sake. My little sister Leah was best friends with Jane and Alec Volturi who happened to be James's younger siblings. They were freshmen alongside Leah. I wanted to ask how they were taking their first day but judging by the look on his face I realized I should just keep my mouth shut.
Once I received my schedule I glanced over it quickly. All honors. Well, aside from PE. I even had Art 4 Honor's. I remembered when I had been given Art by the guidance counselor in my freshman and I couldn't have been more upset. Taking Art that year really changed me and it made me realize that I am actually really good at it. I've taken it every year since and have been in a countless number of art shows. My room is littered with my art and the many awards that I had gotten. I still haven't decided if I want to pursue art as a career or not.
Once the bell rang I got out of the classroom quickly leaving James behind. I met Edward at his classroom door. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we traded schedules. We started walking towards the side doors of the school to go out to the courtyard where we would be meeting our friends.
Edward was in basically every one of my classes besides art. He had Drama that period instead.
"Did you have something to do with this?" I eyed him.
"I might have talked the counselor into giving us the same classes." He grinned.
"Thank you." I laughed happy that I would know at least one person in each of my classes.
We were the first to arrive to the courtyard but Alice and James followed quickly after. I waited nervously for Emmett to arrive but instead Jasper and the blonde girl showed up.
"Bella this is Rosalie, Jasper's twin sister." Alice introduced us. Rosalie was tightlipped as she nodded at me. "She's kind of a bitch." Alice whispered to me in my ear when Rosalie wasn't paying attention.
"I can see that." I said back. Edward just laughed. Alice then took my schedule and looked over it declaring that we had PE together at least. Edward and I had History and Calculus with Jasper and English with Rosalie. Judging by the look on Rosalie's face she could have cared less. I got butterflies in my stomach when I was told Jasper was in two of my classes. But, I really only wanted to know about one person's classes but judging by how Emmett cared less about school and more about sports I knew we probably had zero classes together.
I heard his voice before I saw him. I smiled to myself when he appeared.
"Hey beautiful!" My stomach fell when I saw him reach for Rosalie and pull her into him. I felt like throwing up right then.
"Calm down, Bella-Bee." Edward whispered in my ear when he saw the look on my face. I wasn't really good at holding emotions in.
"We just…I can't…he's…" I stuttered.
"He's not worth it, baby." Edward tried but I just shook my head. Emmett was worth it. He was worth everything. "Come on, let's go." Edward tugged on my arm but I shook my head again. I wanted to talk to Emmett.
After Emmett was done hugging Rosalie he gave his schedule over to Alice who told him who he had classes with. Of course I already knew I wouldn't have any classes with him but apparently we did share PE. That was enough.
I stood there waiting for my turn to talk to him.
"Emm…" I spoke quietly but knew I hadn't been heard when he ignored me or at least I hoped he wasn't ignoring me on purpose. "Emmett!"
"What?" He jerked his head towards me with a frown on his face. "What do you want, Bella?" I widened my eyes at his tone of voice. We'd been sneaking around for a long time but he had never been mean to me. Ever.
I didn't even answer him. Instead I just sighed and grabbed Edwards hand. He took that as our cue to leave.
"Don't worry about him, Bella-Bee." Edward tried as we walked towards English 4 honors.
"I know we aren't together but it still kills me to see him with other girls, I mean he doesn't even know Rosalie!" I threw my hands up in the air.
"Rosalie and Jasper's Dad lives here, Bella. They spend just about every summer with him apart from this last one. So, Emmett's known Rosalie for awhile."
"How come I've never heard about them? And how do you know all of this?" I frowned putting my hands on my hips.
"I don't know maybe you never pay attention to Alice. She's talked about them before and I've seen Rosalie at a few parties the past couple of summers. But, never her brother." He explained.
I thought back for a second to the parties over the past few years. I realized that I had seen her before with Emmett before he and I ever hooked up.
"I remember her." I sighed. "It was back when I had that crush on Emmett, before he and I ever hooked up. I remember being so jealous of her even though she was a complete stranger to me." I said as we entered our class and took our seats right next to each other.
"What are you talking about, Bella-Bee? You still have a crush on Emmett." Of course at that exact moment Rosalie decided to walk into the classroom. I knew she had heard Edward by the look on her face. She walked past us and sat right behind me. I groaned and slammed my forehead down on the desk. This year was going to be hell. I could already feel it.
