Chapter 2

BellaPOV

I woke up, nervous about the type of riot i might find at school when i walked through the doors today. It seemed that the confidence that had overtook me two nights ago was beginning to slip away from me rapidly.

"Bella, you listen to me. You are coming to school today whether i have to get Emmett to carry you there or not. Although, i think it would be easier for yourself to just come with no hesitation." Alice demanded. I knew there was no chance i would be able to stay off, i mean Charlie would be no bother all i'd have to do is mention the words, "Girl troubles" and it would be as easy as bribing a child with sweets.

Alice, on the other hand, was not so easily bought, there was never anything Alice needed that she couldn't manage to get herself.

So i decided i'd give in and go. I knew my best friends and my big brother would have my back no matter what lay ahead of me today. These were the thoughts that i filled my head with, hoping an ounce of the conifdence i felt before would be brought back.

I hopped out of Emmett's jeep with a grin on my face following Alice's instructions, "Don't let them think you're weak. Show them nothing that was said phased you, because you know it's not true."

I walked towards Rosalie, my other best friend. Before I even had a chance to say "hey" to her Emmett had swooped her in for a kiss. Just over 4 months ago i found out my best friend and my brother were dating, it was so awkward at first because all she wanted to do was talk about how, "great he is at kissing". It was totally, not what i wanted to hear. After so long i began to get used to it and now they're so cute together!

"Hey Bells! Awesome job the other night haha, I always knew he was a bad one. I could just sense it." Obviously Alice had updated Rosalie on all the goings on of the weekend, but that was just they way we rolled, we were there for each other no matter what.

"Yeah, and if that creep comes anywhere near me, he will be sorry to have been born, such a fool for messing with me and my family..." With a chuckle, I left Emmett to chunter on about the ways he wished to harm Mike if he came within a metre of his personal space to Rosalie.

I looked around and I saw the school staring in awe, although i don't blame them, what i did that night was completely out of character. Guess i must of gotten my sense of anger from Emmett.

Alice and I took our seats in biology class, me sitting in front of her. As the first warning bell went my ultimate guyfriend walked through the door.

"Hey Edward!" The smile i beamed at him went from cheek to cheek.

"Hey Bells, great work this weekend. I'm glad you're back, i really really missed you" As much as his voice told me he was joking there was a sense of seriousness within the glint in his sparkling, green eyes.

"Well you better believe it. I'm sorry, i've been a complete jerk these past few months. Mike, well he was an influence on me i guess."

"So we back to our usual plans?" His white teeth shone at me.

Ever since Edward and I were 7 years old we did the same thing every Monday night, we would get a DVD and a pizza and have some Edward and Bella time. It gave us our own personal friendship out of the "gang" and gave us some chill time.

I hadn't realised that because of my relationship with Mike I had stood Edward up several times.

Noticing this i felt the tears leaking in my eyes and I staggered a breath,"Hey now, what's up?" His brow creased.

"I'm just so sorry Edward, i didn't realise. I'm such a horrible friend."

He let out a small chuckle, "Bella, do you want to go permanently grey! Quit your worrying. As long as i have you back now its alllllll good baby!" He grinned, making me feel instantly better for betraying my friend.

"Man, i stop hanging out for a few weeks and you're already talking like Emmett, dude you've gone to the dark side!" He let out a swift chuckle.

As our conversation came to an end our teacher walked into the room.

Morning classes went fairly quickly, until we reached lunch. I then realised that i hadn't spotted Mike anywhere yet and that was pretty strange.

"He's probably too ashamed to show his face, thanks to what you did Bella" Alice laughed, "Hey Jazz! Where were you this morning!" Alice beamed as our second, ultimate guyfriend walked through the entrance to the lunch hall.

He took his usual seat beside Alice and mumbles 'Hello's' to everyone, "Hey Allie, i slept in again, Rosalie decided she'd leave me to ride myself to school again and that just never ends well." We all burst into laughter at how clearly annoyed Jasper was.

"Sisters, eh, what can we do with them!" Emmett boomed out throughout his laughter whilst recieving a scowl from my direction.

The rest of the table hushed quickly and began to stare at something behind me. Curious, i turned to see what had caused such a quick change of mood. There stood Mike and his "friends" who i knew quite well weren't too fond of him as the majority had attempted to, 'get with me' whilst i was Mike's girlfriend. Their eyes all pointed in my direction all grinning at me, except for the dirty look Mike was throwing at me.

The lunch hall grew with murmurs pointing in Mike's direction I was sure I even heard someone shout, "No wonder he walks around surrounded with guys."

"Bella, can i talk to you. Alone." Mike spoke through gritted teeth.

I looked towards my friends, which was made of worried looks from the girls and stiffened backs from the guys, "Sure, but i don't have long, so make it quick."

I walked to the edge of the lunch hall with him, because i knew what Mike was like when he was angry so i needed people to be close.

"I thought we were good together, sure we were going through a rough patch. But Bella, we would of gotten through that. I thought you loved me." I was shell shocked. He was stood here trying to express his love for me when a few nights before he had said i was obsessive and crazy to the majority of our year group.

"Mike, you and I were over for months. You're cruel, we have nothing in common and you're just not who i want to be with."

With that i walked away. I sat back down and straight away i was being questioned with faces full of concern, "Did he hurt you?" Was bellowed from Emmett and Jasper, "Bells, are you okay?" Was questioned by Edward along with several, "Want to talk about it?" From Alice and Rosalie.

This was the reason i loved my friends. "Guys, I'm fine. He was trying to give me a load of crap about how we were going through a rough patch and he thought we were in love. I can't believe he had me in such a trance for so long, i knew from the moment i first saw him that he was a craphead. I just feel so stupid."

Looks of understanding were shot at me when Jasper put his arm around me and with his calming aura surrounding me and a word of, "It's all okay now." I truly believed everything seemed to be going up from here.

The last bell of the day rang as Edward and I made our way towards his Volvo.

"Hey baby did you miss me?" Edward spoke up.

"You have serious problems, man. Not only are you talking to a car, but you sound so feminine right now."

Edward's cheeks went slightly rose but the chuckle that escaped his mouth was pure happiness.

"Jealousy, isn't pretty Bella. You know as much as i love this car your always my priority," he winked,"but i gotta show my silver darling some love otherwise it just won't be fair."

I couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter, tears welling in my eyes because i just couldn't stop.

We got into the car and as usual i pressed play on our CD in the car and set off for the shop.

"I think you'll find it's my turn. You chose, 'Dear John', last time. You wuss."

"I was sure it was an army film! But come on, that was the saddest film i think i've ever watched!"

"Sure sure, you 'thought it was an army film', it's still my turn to choose." I teased with him.

I looked through the racks among racks of DVDs the store had to offer, i didn't want to choose anything depressing this time, because we end up getting too caught up in it. I wanted something fun that would let us chill out together.

My eyes scanned the row of boxes til it hit, 'Valentine's Day', "Found one, now let's pay for this then go get us some pizza!" I beamed like a child. I truly was excited, i hadn't noticed how much i had actually missed Monday nights with Edward.

We drove to the local pizza shop and ordered our major large pizza, that lasts us the majority of the night. We found that it saves time because not only do we not need to cook, we also don't need to go to the kitchen to get snacks because the pizza is so big it lasts all night.

"Hey Charlie, off out?" Edward smiled at my Dad. My Dad adored Edward, he was like a second son to him, growing up with Edward made him be at my house a lot of the time.

"I'm off out for some late night fishing son, give us something to cook for tea tomorrow, and don't forget your welcome to join us."

"Yeah, sure, i'll be here." Edward grinned.

We said our goodbyes to Charlie and slopped down in our places on the sofa. As the beginning credits started i could sense that Edward wanted to say something.

"Oh for goodness sake Ed, just spit it out" I watch half of his face pull up into a crooked smile.

"Just wanted to say, i've missed this. I feel like i haven't spoke to you in ages."

With that he pulled me in for a hug and we layed watched the rest of the film like this. I knew too that i had missed this feeling all too much.
