RECAP

"So..........what was it you wanted to say?"

"Huh? Oh nothing."

"Then why did you bring me up here?" I turned to him and immediately felt something soft on my lips. It took me a moment to realize what was happening. Even longer to realize what i should be doing, but wasn't. What i was doing, but shouldn't.

With so many confused thoughts going on in my head, i couldn't do anything but stand in a frozen position. When he pulled away, he whispered only one thing in my ear before walking away. To our friends. To Edward, i realized. I slowly sank to the ground, repeating over and over what had just happened. I didn't push him away, i didn't stop him. Then probably one of the most biggest shocks of all occurred to me.

I had enjoyed it.

"I love you."

Present day

(Bella's POV.)

It's been 3 days since then and plenty awkward. I avoid Felix for a reason somehow I'm not yet sure of. I can't look Edward in the eyes, so i look at the rest of his face, which isn't too hard to do. To top it off, we're back at school. Where everybody has bombarded me with questions and hugs wondering what happened. We didn't tell them everything, just the same story as the rest of the Cullen's know. I don't like it being this awkward between us but what else can i do? If i tell Edward, he'll get mad and say i can't trust Felix, when i know i can.

But if i don't, i'll feel like i've cheated on Edward. Eventually i would still tell him, but if i wait, he'll also be angry at me. Ugh. I don't know what to do!

I shook my head of all of those thoughts and got out of my car. To my right, Edward got out of his, while Felix did the same to my left. I walked around to Edward, carefully avoiding Felix.

"Hey." I said with a smile.

"Hi." He hugged me quickly before grabbing my hand and walking with me into the school. Since Felix is new to the school and i'm the one that knows him the most, i have to help him get adjusted. Edward doesn't really like this because he still doesn't trust or know him very well, obviously. Sadly, that is not a good thing to point out to Edward when w'ere discussing such things. Since i have to help Felix, he's in every class i have, but one. Biology. Which is good, it means Edward and I can have some time together partially alone.

While in class, Felix and I either don't talk or just do when we have to. It's like i'm talking to him but not. Like a plane on autopilot, it just does it. So today while we're working in groups he suddenly asks me..

"Bella, will you please talk to me?" I looked up at him in shock.

"What? I am." I said, faking ignorance.

"You're forcing yourself. You don't talking to me at all out of class. You wouldn't even be talking to me right now if you had a choice. I know what i did the other day was wrong, but you could just reject me instead of pushing me away. Bella, i still atleast want to be your friend. Can you please explain to me how you feel?" I sighed and continued to work, avoiding his eyes again. After a minute of silence, he sighed and said

"Fine."

"I'll explain." The words blurted from my mouth before i could stop them. I looked over at him, seeing a hopeful look in his eyes.

"But not now." I said bluntly.

"When?" He asked. I thought about it and decided.

"In the library after school. I need to help you with some things anyway, so i shouldn't be a big deal to Edward." I smiled faintly, though i felt rotten inside. I don't like lying to Edward, or anybody. Since Italy i've gotten a bit better at it though, and i must say, it comes in handy. Felix and I need to be alone if i want him to fully understand, though i don't myself.

We still didn't talk much and I continued to avoid him, but things felt more at ease. In biology we watched a video, and i still felt some of the tingle and draw to Edward , but now i didn't have to resist it. We sat so i was leaning against him in our chairs. We were whispering quietly to each other.

"I'm going to the library after school with Felix." I told him.

"What? Why?"

"He needs help with some school work and getting adjusted."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, he's still trying to get used to the school and town." He stayed quiet for a while before nodding.

"Okay, just call me afterwards." I giggled a little.

"A little overprotective aren't we? Thanks." The bell rang for the end of class. I gathered my things and kissed him on the cheek before leaving.

After school

Felix followed me home so i could drop off my car, then drove us to the library. We went inside then up to the third floor. Then we made our way to one of the most secluded areas. We placed our books down and sat across from each other.

"Alright." I sighed, preparing myself. "I'll explain.'

Ok, i know, too much drama over one, if not her best, friends kissing her. Though that would be really surprising. you can't avoid confrontation forever though. So stay tuned for the next episode ( i figured i premier each chapter like a tv episode.) of Love, Hate, Confusion, or short LHC.

Confrontation

Felix and Bella talk about the kiss at the library and resolve their problems. afterwards they go to have pizza for supper, meanwhile Edward sees them. will he confront her or not say anything at all? find out on the next exciting episode of LHC.

lol :D, :), ;), 3, 3
