DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN TWLIGHT! ONLY THIS STORY IDEA!
AN: READ THE NOTE AT THE BOTTEM!
Over the next two weeks Edward and I became close friends. Whenever we would have one of our rehearsals we would always end up in fits of laughter over silly mistakes we both made. We were always 'working' when our parents were getting close though. We would listen for the footsteps on the stairs as our warning.
I had gotten to see the inside of his room once. I had left my laptop at home so we went to get his from his room.
His room was very organized for a teenage boy. There were no pictures of girls or band posters on the walls. No empty pizza boxes or dirty clothes on the floor. The walls were white and empty except for the simple black shelves on them. There were rows of CDs on each shelf. There was a large window strait ahead of his door. His queen sized bed was a black four poster with a red, black, and white comforter. Across from his bed was a simple black desk and chair. I smiled at the simple but welcoming room.
Our rehearsals were getting longer and better as we neared the final day where we would present our scene to the class. I was getting extremely nervous for. We had all our lines memorized by the third day. We worked on delivering the lines and how we would present it.
Our parents somehow stopped saying it was a date every time we would be together and seemed to accept the fact that we were friends.
I woke up on April 13th at 5:00am a nervous wreck. I laid in my bed going over my lines for a few minutes before grabbing my laptop off my bedside table where I had put it last night. I powered it up and checked my email. I looked at the tiny clock on the lower right hand side of the screen.
5:30am. I sighed and opened up facebook looking for something to do. I noticed that one person was online and clicked the little button to see who it was.
Edward Masen. I smiled and clicked his name. The chat window popped up and I typed:
Me: Couldn't sleep either? :)
Edward: Nope, EXTREMELY nervous about today.
Me: The famous Edward Masen is nervous?
Edward: Just a little.
Me: Why? I mean I am but I could fall off the table.
Edward: I'd catch you :)
I read his reply and almost passed out. We talked until 6:15 when we both said goodbye. I took a quick shower and straightened my hair. I put on a pair of dark blue-almost-black skinny jeans and a green striped top which was gathered a little at the front.
I slipped on my brown ugg boots and put on a necklace that had flowered and three chains. I grabbed my phone and took a picture and sent it to Rachel and Rebecca. I grabbed my blue plaid back pack on my way out of my room and downstairs.
Too nervous to eat a proper breakfast I grabbed a banana and a peach yogurt. I ate in silence.
My mom came downstairs as I was about to leave for school. I hugged her and kissed her cheek quickly.
My first two classes passed quickly. I walked to drama with Sydney, a girl who sat two seats away from mer. Her partner was Joseph, who so obviously had a crush on her it wasn't even funny. She was glad that they didn't have a kiss scene because she only thought of him as friend.
I smiled and tried to be enthusiastic while attempting to calm my nerves. I smiled at Edward as I walked past him to my seat.
We watched the scenes that other groups had before ours and I felt a little better because some of them were well… bad. By our turn it was very obvious that Edward and I were the only two who had worked on this outside of school.
"Isabella Swan. Edward Masen. Act 2 Scene 2." Mrs. Roberts called our names like she was bored. I could tell she had very low hopes that we would do good.
I stood up nervously and followed Edward up to the front of the class room. He stood and introduced the setting for the scene as I ducked behind the desk set up for a prop. In our case a balcony.
He said his opening lines and I stepped onto the desk when Juliet was supposed to be on the balcony. We said our lines with ease. I was getting more nervous instead of relived as the kiss approached.
A little peck on the cheek shouldn't be nerve racking, and usually it wasn't. But in front of 28 other people it was.
When it was time Edward stepped onto the chair and onto the desk. He looked in my eyes as he said his final lines before the kiss. I said my last lines and he leaned in to kiss my cheek.
He smiled a little as he leaned in closer and instead of my cheek his lips met mine.
The shock was overwhelming. I was not expecting this at all.
He was kissing me. Edward Masen was kissing Bella Swan. In front of 28 other witnesses.
I felt sparks fly. I was in heaven and I didn't care who was watching, I wanted this single moment to last forever.
The kiss didn't last long because he had to say his last lines as I got off the desk.
He hopped off and everyone started clapping. He grabbed my hand and we bowed. I didn't say anything as we went back to our seats.
The teacher went up to her desk and smiled. "Well done everyone! You all did very well, especially Edward and Isabella." More clapping and I was still frozen in place.
"So I have an announcement, we will be performing Romeo and Juliet to the whole school at the end of the semester. It will be required to pass this class." She continued "Those scenes that you just preformed were your auditions!" she said happily, obviously over excited for this.
"The leading roles of Romeo and Juliet will be played by Edward and Isabella!" She announced and I smiled a little "Well done all of you, the cast list will be posted sometime this week." She smiled as the bell rang.
I had so many questions to ask Edward that I didn't realize he got up and left as soon as the bell rang. When I looked up, he was walking out of the class room and there was a sticky note on my desk.
In his elegant script was one word. Sorry. I stared at the yellow piece of paper in my hand.
Why would he be sorry? I couldn't answer that question. There was no reason that I could think of that would make his sorry.
Unless he didn't like kissing me. Which didn't make sense, because then he wouldn't like me. But he was the one who kissed me.
I was so confused as I walked to lunch and picked my food without looking at it. I sighed and sat down at my table next to Angela.
I looked around the crowded cafeteria for him. I found him sitting in the corner of the cafeteria with some of his friends. He was looking out the window at the rain. I noticed he didn't have a lunch, and he looked, well sad.
I resisted the urge to go over to him and ask what was wrong. I figured that during biology he would tell me.
I was wrong. He ignored all my attempts at asking him what was going on. I finally tried passing him a note.
He just shook his head and crumbled it up without reading it.
That's when I knew he wasn't going to talk.
In math I couldn't stop thinking about why he would be ignoring me. In PE I got hit 7 times with the volleyball because I was so distracted.
After PE I practically ran to the locker room to check my phone. Hoping that maybe I would have a text explaining things.
No messages.
I changed and walked home slowly while thinking.
Why would he kiss you and then ignore you? I thought but I couldn't find the answer. But I needed that answer, and I would find it… eventually.
I rounded the corner to my street and almost started crying when I saw Edward walk strait past my house without a glance.
After he rounded the next corner I ran home. I ran straight up to my room and fell onto my bed.
I buried my head in my soft pillow and cried. I finally stopped when I decided that it wasn't worth it. He wasn't worth it.
I grabbed my laptop and opened yahoo and facebook. I clicked the little name thing on yahoo that said Rebecca Black.
Hey.
I typed and waited for her to reply. I didn't have to wait long though.
Hey girly! How did the assignment go?
I told her EVERYTHING that happened today.
OMG its ok Bella, it will work out I know it. I can promise you that.
She had to go after that so we said good bye and I clicked the facebook tab. I saw that Edward was online.
What's wrong? Please tell me. I need to know.
I begged him and waited a few minutes for his reply.
Sorry, can't talk, I'm busy.
A single tear ran down my cheek and I typed back.
Ok.
A couple more tears fell and I wiped them away quickly.
"He's not worth it, remember?" I said quietly. Yes he is. That little voice argued.
I didn't say anything because this time, it was right.
That night I couldn't sleep.
I had facebook open and noticed that Edwards name never left. I went to my profile and typed a new status. I clicked share.
No matter how many times you tell yourself he's not worth your tears you still know it's a lie. Showed up at the top of the page.
My eyes drifted to the left of the status bar. After taking a quick look at the profile picture I was almost already back in tears. I squeezed my eyes shut as I remembered the day we took that picture:
*Flashback*
I ran outside as fast as I could into my big back yard. Edward was right behind me chasing me outside. The day was perfect.
The sun was shining with the bluest sky id ever seen in my life. It was hot, but not too hot.
"I'm gonna get you Bella!" I heard Edward say running after me. I giggled and kept running around. I felt like a little girl but I didn't care.
While we had been rehearsing our scene he had offered me a piece of gum and I grabbed the whole pack and ran.
I was surprised that I didn't trip on the stairs. We ran around just goofing off for a little bit. Our laughter could be heard all around us. Finally he caught me around the waist and I shrieked. He turned me around so I was facing him.
He looked at me with adorable puppy-dog eyes. I smiled and he put his hands on my shoulders.
"Bella, if I let you go will you give me my gum back?" he asked me and I pretended to think or a minute.
"Nope!" I said with a 'half-I'm-innocent-half-or-am-I?' grin and he slumped his shoulders.
"I guess I have no choice then…" he said pretending to give up. Then he started tickling my sides. I laughed harder.
I fell down while he was tickling me which made him laugh harder. "FINE! FINE! ILL GIVE IT TO YOU!" I yelled between breaths. I tossed the pack of gum at him and he stopped tickling me.
"Thank you." He said with a grin.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I said and play punched his shoulder.
I reached to my pocket and grabbed my phone. I pushed the camera button and waited. When I saw the screen was on camera mode I held it at arm's length away from us and snapped a picture.
I smiled as I looked at the picture. My shoulder length light brown hair was fanned out behind me a little. My brown eyes were filled with laughter. I was looking towards Edward out of the corner of my eyes and my tongue was sticking out.
I wasn't looking at me though. I was looking at the most beautiful person in the world. Edward was smiling hugely and his face was wrinkled up in the most adorable way. His hair was messy like usual and just looking at his smile made me smile.
I laughed and heard Edward's laugh beside me. I pushed save as we heard a car pull into my driveway. We ran inside and got back to working.
*End Flashback*
It's funny how much something from only four days ago can change so completely.
I didn't realize I was crying until I heard a sob. It took me a few seconds of looking around the room to figure out that it was mine. I shook my head and wiped away my tears that were falling down my cheeks.
I grabbed my iPod and put the ear buds in my ears. I turned it on and pushed shuffle.
The first song that came on was 'Breath' by Taylor Swift. I sung along quietly.
"I see your face in my mind as I drive away
'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way
People are people and sometimes we change our minds
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie
It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see
'Cause its tragedy and it'll only bring you down
Now I don't know what to be without you around
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand
And I can't breathe
Without you, but I have to
Breathe
Without you, but I have to
Never wanted this, never want to see you hurt
Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve
People are people and sometimes it doesn't work out
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand
And I can't breathe
Without you, but I have to
Breathe
Without you, but I have to
It's two a.m., feelin' like I just lost a friend
Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me
It's two a.m., feelin' like I just lost a friend
Hope you know this ain't easy, easy for me
And we know it's never simple, never –"
I had to push the button to change the song. It was too hard to listen to that part.
I looked at the clock through my cascading tears. The numbers were slightly blurry but I could still make out the big green numbers of my alarm clock that said 1:59 AM.
I blinked. 2:00 AM.
I got so absorbed in my music that the next time I looked at the clock it said 4:07 AM. I closed my eyes and slept for an hour and a half before betting up to get ready for school. I took a quick shower which helped me relax and helped my eyes a little bit.
I put on a pair of sweat pants and a dark blue tee shirt. I pulled my hair back into a high ponytail and put in a head band. I slipped a link bracelet onto my wrist.
Sure I didn't really want to wear the head band or bracelet but if I didn't he might figure out that I'm torn up. I needed him to think I was strong.
I walked downstairs and finished getting ready.
I put off leaving for as long as possible. I finally left at 7:10; school starts at 7:30. I walked slow and got to our high school at 7:20.
The first half of the day was fine. Until drama.
He didn't do anything to me that would usually make a girl cry. See that's the thing, he didn't do anything. He ignored me.
Again.
I cried for a few second after asking the teacher if I could use the restroom. I wiped them away as they fell and eventually I stopped before my eyes were puffy again.
Biology was worse. We had to work together. But this time we were silent. My last two classes were bad too. After the final bell rang I went to the school library to check out a book for a book report in English.
I grabbed a book called Private Peaceful. I turned to go to the front desk to check out the book when I ran in to him. He mumbled 'sorry' and turned to leave. I grabbed his wrist so he couldn't leave.
He was going to talk. "Let go please Bella." He said somewhat politely. It still sent chills up my spine to hear him talk to me in a way that wasn't happy. He seemed annoyed.
I shook my head and pulled him down the isle of books we had just came up. I made it so his back was against the wall.
"Edward, please tell me what I did! I can't stand this! You were- no are- my best friend. You just can't ignore me! I need to know what I did!" by the time I was done talking he was looking at me with a confused expression.
"Bella, you didn't do anything wrong! I did!" he said looking at me apologetically.
What? What did he do? I thought confused. "I don't-" I began but he cut me off.
"I had no right to kiss you without asking you. I shouldn't have ruined our friendship like that." He looked at the ground.
"You didn't ruin our friendship-" I started but was cut off but him again. He looked up at me like I was stupid.
"Yes I did Bella!" He said exasperated "You see I like you, and you obviously don't like me. I just went and kissed you with no-" I sighed loudly and he looked at me confused.
"I swear Edward, you so unobservant!" I said with a little chuckle.
"What? That made no sense! Bella, I'm sorry about-" he didn't get to finish his sentence. I leaned onto my tip toes and crushed my lips to his, we stood there for a few second, he was stunned.
Then his hand reached up and cradled my face gently and he kissed me back. My first real kiss. The one that I had dreamed of. The first time he kissed me in class was just a little peck. Not a real kiss like this.
Finally after a few minutes I pulled away.
"See why I said you're so unobservant?" I asked him with a grin "See I do like you, a lot. I have since 4th grade when I met you. I wasn't mad that you kissed me, I was shocked. I was so happy but then you were ignoring me so I couldn't tell you. I'm glad we had this talk." I smiled and he smiled back.
"I am too." He said and tucked a stray piece of hair behind my ear.
"Friends?" I asked him with a small smile.
He shook his head and I felt my heart fall a little. "More than friends." He replied. And I smiled widely. "That is if that's ok with you."
"Sounds perfect to me." I agreed. He smiled and hugged me. I hugged him back. "Let's go home." I suggested.
He nodded and we walked to the front desk to check out our books. As we left the building he grabbed my hand and I smiled.
I had wanted this for 6 and a half years. And finally it was mine.
He was mine and I was his. Finally.
The walk home was much too quick for my likings. When we got to my house he looked at me "Bella will you come over to my house?" he asked me and I smiled.
"Of course but what will we tell our parents about… us?" I asked him.
He thought for a minute. "I'll have my parents invite yours over for dinner or something." He said "I'd like to tell them." He added.
I nodded. If it was what he wanted to do then of course we would tell them about us. My heart soared at the thought that there finally was an us. I sighed happily as we walked to his house. As we walked up the front steps he let go of my hand and I looked up at him "Just for now, I want it to be a surprise." He said and quickly kissed my forehead.
We walked in side by side and greeted his parents. He requested a dinner with my parents just because and his parents thought it was a lovely idea and Elizabeth immediately stated texting my mom.
Edward and I went downstairs. He led me to his room and we sat down on the floor to talk like we usually did. We talked about the last two days for a few minutes and then I remember something.
"Oh!" I said suddenly and looked up at Edward "can I borrow your laptop for a minute?" I asked and he nodded. I got up and got it off his desk. I walked back over to him and sat down.
I opened facebook and logged on. I quickly typed: SO HAPPY! :)
I smiled and looked up at Edward who was smiling down at me. Then I went and clicked the info button and clicked relationships. He took the laptop from me and smiled "Let me." He said with a wink and changed my relationship status to "In a relationship with Edward Masen.
I smiled wider. He logged me out and logged in and I changed his relationship status too.
I looked up at him and he kissed me. Kissing him was something I would never get tired of. He was so gentle and our lips just fit together. After about five minutes we heard a knock on his door.
"Yeah?" Edward called.
"Come on kids! Were leaving for dinner! Bella you're going to ride with us so you don't have to go home." Came Elizabeth's voice from the other side of the door.
"Thank you Mrs. Masen!" I said as Edward and I got up. He kissed me quickly before opening the door.
We walked outside to the car. Edward's brother Austin joined up and punched Edwards shoulder. "Hey bro!" he said. Austin was 20 and only visited on weekends and holidays from college right now it was between quarters so he came to town. He looked at me and smiled "Hey Bella! Long time no see!" he gave me a quick one armed hug.
"Hey Austin" I said quietly. We got in the car and drove to the restraunt quietly. Well Edward and I did anyways. We sat next to each other in the back seat with me in the middle of him and Austin. Austin was telling everyone about his college life and I only found parts of it interesting.
After what seemed like forever we got to the Olive Garden. My favorite restraunt. We got seated and my parents joined us ten minutes later. We all talked for a little bit. Edward nudged my arm telling me that he was ready to talk to everyone.
"Mom, dad, Austin, Mr. and Mrs. Dwyer. I need to tell you something." He started and all five people looked at him. My mom and Elizabeth looked at each other with knowing eyes. "You see, well Bella and I decided that we would try being together." He said and I blushed.
Decided wasn't really the word I would have applied her. Try wasn't either. After a few seconds I heard five people say "Finally!" even Austin which surprised me. Had he known too? I assumed so with a family like mine and his.
"we are all happy for you two." My mom said and the separate conversations started up again. I looked over at Edward. "What just happened?" I asked him.
"I'm not entirely sure. But I guess since the know I can do this now." He said and grabbed my hand and smiled.
I smiled back and looked over at our moms "They knew." I stated.
He chuckled. "Of course they did. My mom probably saw us walking to my house and told yours right away." He said looking at me. I nodded because he had a very logical point.
We ordered our food soon after Edward had told everyone. We were talking when I yawned.
"You're not tired are you?" Edward asked me teasingly "Its only 7:45."
I shrugged my shoulders "Well I didn't get much sleep last night." I said quietly.
"I didn't either" he mumbled "I'm really sorry."
I smiled "Shhh its ok, it's over now anyways. Besides if that hadn't happened we wouldn't be here." I said looking at our hands.
He nodded "that's very true." He agreed "I promise to never make you cry again." He said as our food came.
My chicken fettuccini was delicious. After dinner we talked for a few more minutes. When it was time to go home I walked with Edward and his family to their car so I could get my back pack.
He handed it to me and kissed my cheek "See you tomorrow Bella." He said with a smile.
I sighed "OK see you tomorrow."
When I got home I went upstairs and laid down on my bed. I got my laptop out and went on facebook. There were 22 new comments on my changed relationship status. Most of them said "Congrats!" or "Finally!" but a few of them were from guys that had asked me out multiple times, like Mike. Those ones said "DARN!" or "Oh well."
I rolled my eyes as I read the new email I got from Rachel and Rebecca.
OH. MY. GOD! We so told you someday this would happen!
I read the rest of the email and typed a quick reply to them. After I pushed send I went and took a long shower since it was only 8:30. I brushed my teeth and put on my pajamas and walked back to my bed. I sat down and grabbed my phone off the bedside table.
I had one new message from Edward.
Sweet dreams :)
Love,
Edward
I smiled and replied:
Sweet dreams to you too :)
See you tomorrow.
Xoxo
Bella
I plugged my phone in to charge and crawled into bed. I closed my eyes and fell asleep with a big smile on my face.
Why? Because I had the perfect boyfriend of my dreams. And because tomorrow was Friday.
Fearless-
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I dance
In a storm in my best dress,
Fearless
-Taylor Swift
