Thanks for the reviews (:

It's nice to know people like the story. Here we go...

"Hey." He said.

I half-smiled. "Let me in." Edward said smiling.

I sighed, I guess I had to I had no reason to make him leave. I unlocked the doors and he let himself in.

We sat in silence. He stared at his hands while I stared at him. "So, what's up?" I asked in fake happiness.

"Everyone hates Tara except for you Bells." He stated bluntly looking at me, his emerald eyes piercing through me and then looking back down into his clasped hands. I stared at him with a shocked expression, he had no idea how much I really did hate her…

"Okayyy." I said awkwardly, trying to not sound disgusted that he thought I liked her or overly pleased that he didn't see my expression. "Believe what you like."

"Is there something you want to tell me?" he asked his gaze refocusing on me.

"N-no." I stammered, I would never tell him, not for a long time, not until we were both happily settled. It was better this way, for all of us but especially me and Em it was.

"Are you sure? You look like you have something on your mind." he said, raising his perfect eyebrow.

I shook my head. I couldn't just admit to him that I loved him, I couldn't tell him about that evil bitch either. It was a lose-lose situation.

"You know you can tell me anything." he said persuasively.

"I know that." I said rolling my eyes, hiding my discomfort.

"Then why do you act so weird whenever I'm around?" he asked concerned.

I should have known he would have noticed I was always more quiet and tense nowadays. I used to feel at ease when I was around Edward but not anymore, it was too much of a risk that I might accidently tell him one or both of my secrets. "Because she goes where ever you go." I muttered under my breath, hoping he wouldn't hear.

His gaze snapped up at me. "You don't like her either do you?" he asked quietly, he heard me.

"No, not really." I said bleakly, avoiding his gaze.

"Why? Why does everyone hate her? All she did was come here to be unwelcomed. She's such a nice person, she didn't pick the greatest people to be friends with but still," he said frustrated running a hand through his naturally messy hair.

"You don't know her as well as you think you do." I murmured loud enough for Edward to hear.

"What do you mean Bells?" he demanded.

"Nothing. Forget I ever said anything." I said quickly remembering how Tara threatened me that day in the bathroom.

"Swan." She sneered as she backed me up into the wall.

"Listen, don't mess with me or Edward. He's mine NOT yours, 'kay?" she said menacingly.

I scoffed. "Sure whatever."

"I mean it. Whenever he brings me out on a date he always talks about you and I'm sick of it. Stay away and I won't tell anyone the details about how your parents got into that coma and how they might 'accidently' have their life support ripped out."

"Oh no." I said fake terrified. "My mom and dad will be gone but then again so will you since the cameras are everywhere and you'll go to jail and you have to wear… cotton! Gasp!" I said sarcastically.

"Oh no!" Tara shrieked.

"Just stay away or Emmett will end up like your dear parents," she threatened again.

I stared at her. She would dare to hurt my teddy bear of a brother and face the wrath of Rose?

"You're probably thinking I don't know what I'm getting myself into but I do." she said confidently. "My family is rich and no one will know what happened to Emmett other than he's in the hospital. Tara always gets what she wants." she sneered in my face.

I knew she was right. She could hire whoever the hell she wanted to for the job and then whisk them away to some random island where there would be no trace of them left.

"Sureee. You'll still go to jail because you're too stupid to pull it off." I replied, unsure of myself at that point.

"Ughhh you're totally right! Fine, I'll shatter your brother's dreams of ever being a football star. I've done it before by accident to Sean and I can do it again on purpose." she said triumphantly.

Sean O'Connors, the former quarterback. She accidently tripped when she wore her stilettos to the football game and fell onto his right arm breaking it and tried to get up when she stepped on his arm in her stilettos tearing a muscle that wasn't able to heal. His dream of joining the NFL was gone but at least he was smart so he still had a future.

Tears filled my eyes, if something happened to Emmett and his dream because of me I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. "Okay." I said weakly.

She smirked, "Good." She flipped her hair and left.

"Bells, tell me now." he said anger building in his voice. This never happened before, all that anger was always directed towards someone else never me.

I shook my head. I knew he had a short fuse, he was like a volcano ready to blow. "Edward don't worry about it. Just keep enjoying your life." I said my voice shaky in a poor attempt to calm him down.

The volcano erupted. He blew. "I bet you're just jealous that everyone around you has someone to love and you don't have anyone. You're just plain Bella Swan that no one cares about." He said angrily.

I blinked back my tears. He would never say anything like that to me. I couldn't remember if he tended to say stupid things when he was mad, I didn't think he did.

"Go away if you hate me so much. I get it okay? I don't anyone telling me to my face that I don't have someone to love unlike everyone else. I don't need anyone telling me I'm useless and worthless. I know you never wanted to be my friend so just go." I said weakly, surprised at my words.

He didn't say a word as he slammed the door to my truck, leaving me huddled in the seat, tears streaming down my face, tears that wouldn't stop even if I tried. I sobbed, endless cries in my truck not even bothering to get out when the bell rang.

Now I know what he thinks of me as, worthless. I was so stupid to have fallen in love with him and now everything that I dreamed of is gone. I lost my everything, my support, my best friend.

Don't you just want to kill Tara? Well I'm sorry to say she plays a critical part and I can't get rid of her ):
