Edward!
You have to tell her you love her! She'll never figure it out on
her own! My brain decided to start talking to me after Izzy left.
Sometimes I hated that name, I truly hated it. It didn't fit right.
Bella on the other hand meant beautiful and fit her much better. I
sighed as I thought of how she looked when I'd opened the door to
her. Her face streaked with tears and black stains from her mascara
running down her cheeks. I wanted to sweep her up and take her to a
place where she could forget all her pain; but I can't. Ever since
I'd turned thirteen, I'd been thinking differently about Bella
than I had for the years before that. She's more of a vision to me.
She doesn't even notice it when my voice trembles when she hugs me
and says she loves me. But she doesn't mean it the way I do. She's
still in love with Chris, and the bastard broke her heart. I picked
up my phone and decided to text my goodnight greeting that I sent at
the same time, every single night.
Night Izzy. Thanks for
being my best friend.
Edward.And a few minutes
later, she texted back the same as she did every night.
Night Edward. No star could shine
bright enough for my blessings of having you as a best friend.
Izzy.UGH! That beautiful girl drives me insane, and I can
never tell her my true feelings. My mum walked into the room and
sighed sadly.
"She'll work it out soon son" she mumbled.
"What are you talking about?" I asked with slight panic
marring my tone.
"That you love her, she work it out soon"
she smiled and closed my door. I heard her retreating footsteps going
down the hall. I soft knock sounded on my bedroom door.
"Yes?"
I asked I a little rudely and my brother Jasper entered the room. He
and my sister Rosalie are twins and looks scarily alike.
"Hey
man, I heard Izzy's man tried to get her in bed" he said slightly
sympathetically. He and Rosalie are a year older than Izzy and I, but
he is dating her sister and Rosalie is dating her brother. "I have
to say Edward, I am still trying to understand why you don't tell
her, I mean, we can all see it, and she may not know it, but I think
she likes you too, deep down" he sighed and I crashed my head into
my hands.
"Thanks Jasper, but I'm not in the mood to have my
heart broken by my own hopes" I mumbled and I heard him sigh sadly.
The door creaked closed as he walked away from my room. Another knock
came to my door and I huffed impatiently.
"GOD! What is this? A
family counseling session!" I hissed but Rosalie came in and sat on
my bed.
"Tell her Edward, you always come home looking upset
after spending time with her. You need to tell her- to make her
understand- that you think she's special. That's all I'm going
to say. Goodnight little brother" she smiled reassuringly and
exited the room.

I
woke up and wanted instantly to shut my eyes and forget everything.
Chris had tried to get into my pants last night and now I felt like
something else was going to happen today. I sighed when my alarm
blared and shut it off. I vaguely remember getting up and walking to
the bathroom, but I clearly remember sobbing as I sat on the floor of
the shower. As I shut off the hot water, I began to feel numb. I
didn't even bother with my normal appearance today, so I just
slipped on pink skinny jeans, a blue tank top and put my hair in a
messy pony tail without putting any make up on.
"Morning Izzy, I heard about
Chris" Alice mumbled and looked at me sympathetically.
"Yeah,
I don't care anymore" I sighed and poured myself a bowl of
cereal.
"Edward called, except he asked for a Bella. I
told him that it was a nice name, but no one here was named that,
than he laughed and asked for Izzy" she smiled and I felt something
tug at the corner of my heart. What the hell?
"Uhm, okay" I
mumbled, still trying to figure out what that strange feeling was,
all thought it was completely gone now.
"Hey little sisters,
how's it hanging?" Emmett chuckled as he came down stairs. I
glared at him and Alice started giggling.
"Let me guess, to the
floor Emmett?" she chuckled and he blushed. I couldn't contain my
laughter because he wore a dumbfounded expression.
"Izzy and
Chris are oh-verr" Alice sighed, accenting the word which made it
that much harder to bear.
"Oh no, Izzy" Alice said as he
crossed the room and caught me in a bear hug.
"Can't breathe
Em" I whispered and he let go of me and going to the fridge. He
grabbed out a banana and two apples.
'To the floor Alice" he
mumbled and she chortled loudly. He walked out the door and I heard
his car start and speed away.
"You want a ride?" I asked
Alice and she shook her head.
"Nah, Jasper's picking me up,
thanks though" she smiled and took a bit out of her apple. I
finished off my cereal and dashed out the door and to my convertible.
"Hey guys" I mumbled as I
approached Jessica and Lauren. Angela wasn't there but I saw her
storming away.
"What's up with Ange?" I asked and they
shrugged casually.
"I told her that her sweater made her look
like a fat cow" Lauren sighed nonchalantly and began inspecting her
fingernails.
"But it doesn't" I argued and Jessica stifled
a laugh.
"Yeah Izzy and that outfit soooo works" Lauren
mumbled sarcastically. I felt my fury bubbling inside me.
"What
the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled and Jessica snorted.
"What
the hell is wrong with you Izzy? Poor Chris came to my house
all upset last night because you wouldn't give it up to him"
Jessica grumbled and my glanced fleeted towards her.
"What?"
I hissed and she smiled menacingly.
"Well, he knocked on my
door and I let him in, he was too upset to drive, so he stayed at my
house" she said and her eyes began to wander.
"What exactly
did the two of you do?" I hissed again and she bit her lip.
"Well…
I gave it up to him. Dam Izzy, you really missed out, he was good"
she sighed and she looked dazed. I decided to knock her out of it. I
pulled back my fist and it connected with her nose.
"You bitch!
I just got that done!" she screamed and I laughed, hitting it
again. It was bleeding and her eyes had purple rings under them.
"I
should have told you this before! Chris and I have been sleeping
together since he met you!" She laughed in my face and I felt
myself collapse.
"Pfft, what a loser" Lauren said and Jessica
giggled. In that moment I realized I wasn't Izzy anymore. Izzy had
so many friends, a perfect boyfriend and happiness.
"Izzy! Izzy
are you okay!" Edward's concerned voice rang in my ears and that
same strange feeling tugged at my heart. I stared at nothing,
completely mystified. What was going on here?
"Izzy! Izzy please
talk to me" he whispered and pulled me to my feet.
"Bella"
I whimpered and he stared at me.
"What?" he breathed.
"I
like the name you made up for me" I whimpered again.
"Bella"
he smiled and pulled me into a hug.
"Izz-Bella, please tell me what
happened" Edward whispered and I leant into him for support before
telling him the whole story.
"Oh my god, I have to go find
Angela" I whispered and ran off. I found her sulking in the girls'
bathroom and sat with her with my arms wrapped around her.
"They've
been talking horribly about you for months! But they threatened to
hit me if I told you, I was going to I swear" she whimpered and I
shushed her.
"It's okay, I'm here and I know now. Oh and my
name isn't Izzy anymore" I added and she looked at me with her
bloodshot eyes.
"It's not?" she asked and I shook my head,
"Well what is it then?" she whispered and I smiled
widely.
"Edward-"-strange tug at my heart- "came up
with Bella. So that's what it is" I grinned.
"Bella…
I like it. It means 'beautiful' you know?" she asked and
sniffed. I hadn't even thought about that. We got up and walked to
the guidance officer and told him everything that had happened.
Angela was really upset about everything.

"What
the hell is wrong with you" I hissed and Lauren Mallory turned
around.
"Hey sexy, fancy a little make out sesh?" She
giggled and raised her hands to run them through my hair.
"Oh
yeah Lauren, right after I make pigs fly" I muttered and her eyes
glowed.
"Really!?" She cried and
jumped up and down clapping her hands. I rolled my eyes and walked
away. How the hell am I going to do anything with these dumb preppy
girls?
I walked past the girls' bathroom and heard Bella and
Angela inside.
"Thanks for coming to the guidance officer with
me Izz-Bella" Angela said.
"Yeah no worries. Hey Ange, can you
help me out?" Bella asked and I was instantly worried.
"Yeah
sure Hun, what's up?" Angela spoke freely and without worry so
Bella's face mustn't have held any fear or sadness.
"Whenever
I hear about or think of Edward"- she paused I was engrossed-" I
get this weird tug at the side of my heart" she said took in a deep
breath.
"I think that means you like him" she said with a
smile in her voice and I heard Bella scoff words that shattered my
heart.
"Sure, as if!"
