Chapter 3: The Truth May Hurt

Bella POV

I decided to keep my mind off of Edward. Your supposed to be getting over him remember. You have a boyfriend now.

"So Bella how did you two meet?" Rosalie asked wanting to break the silence. Everyone had noticed how odd Edward had been acting.

"When my father was in college…." Before I could finish my sentence Jacob cut in.

"My dad and Bella's dad were roommates and best friends. Charlie and Renee had lived in Phoenix after he ran off and got married. After Bella's parents got divorced, Bella's dad Charlie didn't have anywhere to stay. So he…."

"Moved in with Billy. Where he became an officer!!" I decided to finish his sentence, we both knew how close Billy and Charlie were; they used to tell us their adventures in college and struggles after Charlie's divorce.

Jacob started talking again. "Our house was a mess all the time. It was so much fun. Then when Charlie moved out……"

"They had barbeques every weekend. I remember how Jacob and I would go down to the beach and build sand castles. We would make a huge mess of ourselves…."

"And when they'd call us up for dinner and we'd be covered in sand. Haha! We used to get in so much trouble, but since there were only men around in the house, they didn't know how to clean us up. So they'd send us in to clean up ourselves. We were what? Only five years old. Bella was four…"

"We would try to wash our hands with only water, and clean our clothes with only soap. By the time we went to eat, we would be sticky, and our food would taste like the sea." I finished. Jacob was cracking up by the end.

I remembered the old days, and savored them. So many good memories down at La Push. In the middle of my thoughts Jasper interrupted. "I see you guys are already finishing each others sentences." He said with a smirk.

Alice had came back sometime during the conversation, and with Rosalie they were saying 'Aw'.

The bell rang signaling that lunch was over. "Well then I'll get going." I rose to get out of the cafeteria as soon as I could. I grabbed on to Jacobs arm hinting that we should leave. I couldn't stand to be in there 

any longer with my oh so observant friends. "Ok then, see you two love birds after school." Emmett cooed.

"I like your friends. They're hilarious!" Jacob exclaimed after were a safe distance from them. "What class do you have next?"

"Um, I have PE, you?"

"I have Geography. See you after school?" He made it sound like a suggestion.

"Yup, see you soon." I gave him a peck on the lips and turned to leave, when I felt two strong arms around me. "Not so fast." Jacob spun me around and gave me a soft kiss on the lips. He made his way down my neck and up again to my lips. Licking my bottom lip, asking for an entrance. I let him in, and he slipped his tongue into my mouth. We went at it for a while till I came to the realization that, we were in a school and there were people watching. I turned as red as a tomato, and I parted. He gave a pout but understood. We were both breathless, and my heart was racing. "I guess I'll see you soon." I looked around and found that, many students were watching us, the boys with jealousy, and the girls with envy.

I ran down the hall to the lockers. Of course I couldn't do that without embarrassing myself even more, I slipped a few times; but none of that really mattered. I really wanted to see Edward. I had to ask him about his strange behavior.

I guess Jacob and I hadn't been making out too long for when I got to the girls locker room, most of the girls were still in there.

"I saw what you and Jacob were doing there." One of the girls said playfully, I think her name was Rebecca.

Some of the girls giggled and some of them made kissing noises. "Oh shut up, you're embarrassing me."

"Its nothing to be ashamed of, tell us how was it?" Tanya said.

"How was what?" I was getting nervous from all of the questioning. I walked to my locker and started to take off my shirt changing into my PE one.

"Kissing Jacob, silly!" Tanya was at my locker. All the girls' attention came to me.

"It wasn't too bad. He's a good kisser." I said nervously. All the girls squealed.

I didn't answer any of their other questions. I didn't feel the need to expose my love life to them. I finished dressing, and went outside. The coach announced that we were playing soccer, and to find partners. We were going to do some passing exercises. O joy. I'm just going to trip over the ball and fall flat on my face. I looked around for Edward. If we were partners, it would be more fun plus I could question him. I looked around.

I found him on the field playing soccer with some of guys. He looked happy and carefree.



"Edward!!" I called out waving at him.

He looked at me for a second. His eyes held pain and sorrow. He broke his gaze from me and went back to his game. How rude!! He didn't even wave. Edward was avoiding me! He never did that.

I stomped up to him, blocking his view from everyone else. "Edward that was very rude! You didn't say hi." I said jokingly, but he didn't take it that way.

"Well I didn't see you Bella, and I don't always have to say hi to you." He said angrily emphasizing on Bella.

"Take a chill pill, captain cool. I was just joking. Do you want to be partners?"

"Yeah, whateve."

"So are we partners?" I asked cheerfully. I didn't want to annoy him any more than he was.

"How many times do I have to repeat myself? I said yes. Don't you listen?" He spat out.

I was shocked, never in all these years had Edward been so mean to me. "I'm sorry Edward, I I guess I wasn't."

Before Edward could say anything else, the coach started class. He taught us the different steps, to passing a soccer ball. There really wasn't any point to this; everyone already knows how to pass a ball. That went on for a good five minutes before he gave each pair a ball. When Edward and I got ours he took it to the nearest goal and we practiced there.

After about five minutes of silence between us, I finally tripped and fell flat on my face. Causing everyone around us including Edward to laugh.

"Bella get up, and try not to suck so much. You're embarrassing me." That caused all of his friends to laugh even harder at me.

I could feel tears starting to form in my eyes, but I wouldn't dare shed them. I looked down trying to compose myself; I couldn't let anyone see me like this. My anger flared.

"Edward Cullen!! Who gave you the right to treat me like shit?" I growled at him.

That shocked Edward. His eyes grew wide. "I have no idea what your talking about, Bella."

"Ever since lunch, you've been sending glares at Jacob, and you've been making fun of me."

Edward was struggling for an answer; I had him right where I wanted him.

"Bella you've gone mad! I have nothing against either of you."

"Edward you're just jealous because now I have a boyfriend, and someone who actually cares for me." I said icily. That finally ticked him off.



"Well congratulations Bella, you've finally figured out that I really don't give a damn about you! I could have any girl in this school if I wanted, and you think I'd choose you. Ha! If I was jealous, then I wouldn't do this." Edward pulled Tanya into his arms, raised her chin so that she was looking at him, and leaned in. He kissed her with such passion it caused everyone to gasp. Tanya caught was so caught in the moment that she put her arms around his neck.

Tears that shouldn't have shed sneaked up on me and rolled down my face. My heart was accelerating, I was hyperventilating. I was weak on my knees, and I thought I was going to faint.

Edward didn't even look at me. He was still busy kissing Tanya.

I ran past everyone, ran past the coach, who was yelling at me, and went into the girl's locker room. I didn't care if anyone saw me like this. My best friend said he didn't care about me, and then he broke my heart. I went into a bathroom stall and pulled down the seat. I sat there and cried. Cried until I started to hear girls coming in to take showers. They held no sympathy for me, only sorry to hear you and Edward fought. They didn't really mean it.

I quickly changed not wanting to run into Edward anymore, hoping that I wouldn't have to face anymore drama. I went to my locker. Glad that Jacob's next class was in the opposite direction to my locker, and that he wouldn't be able to see me.

I went to the bathroom again, to check my makeup. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Thank God for waterproof mascara. I applied some more blush to my face, and I made sure that my eyes didn't look big and poofy.

I was still early to Geography when I entered;( Remember, this is sophomore year for Bella and Edward so I made a different schedule) I pulled out my textbook and pretending to be interested. I knew that Edward's assigned seat was next to mine but I was hoping that he would decide to skip class.

Unfortunately I had no luck today, and too much of my dismay the chair next to me moved, and Edward sat in it. He turned his chair as far as possible from mine. "Hey Bella." He said nervously.

"Oh now you decide to be nice." I hissed.

"Bella, its not my fault your such a klutz" Again he was struggling to find some words. I knew he wasn't used to being mean, and it felt weird. Again anger bubbled up to me. What neither of us noticed was that while we were having this episode. The teacher had come in, and was listening.

Slap

I slapped Edward across the cheek. I wasn't thinking just acting on impulse.

"Bella Swan, come up to my desk." Mr. Gerton called.

'Ohhhs' came from the whole class. Great now I was in trouble.



"You got what you deserve, Bella." Edward snickered.

"Detention. Tomorrow. Lunch. Now sit, and try not to disrupt this class anymore that you already have."

I sat down in my seat, not daring to look at Edward anymore. When the bell rang I gathered my books and ran to my locker. I forgot all about meeting my friends and boyfriend. I took all the textbooks that I'd need for homework. I saw Alice waving at me, but I choose to ignore her, pretending I didn't see a thing. I fumbled with the keys to my car, and when I unlocked it, I turned it on.

I saw Emmett and Jasper running up to me, but I pulled out of the parking lot, and speed down the street at 50 miles an hour. The maximum my car could go. My father's cruiser wasn't in the driveway so I didn't have to put up with my father. I loved him, but he could be observant at times. I didn't feel like talking. I unlocked the house door, and managed to trip at the same time.

I didn't feel like cooking dinner, I was too heartbroken. I wrote a note for Charlie stating that I had so much homework that I wouldn't have time to cook, and that my he should just order pizza. Lying to him in person was hard, but on a piece of note, it was convincing.

Taking my books up the stairs with me, I did my homework first. It was hard to concentrate. Today's events kept replaying in my head over and over again.

I don't really give a damn about you

I could have any girl in this school if I wanted, and you think I'd choose you

Unwanted tears streamed down my eyes. At least it will be easier to let him go.

Shawtly Get loose

What you do, let me see you

Let down your hair

Shawty Get loose, Hit Da

Dance floor and act like

There's nobody else in hurr

"Hello?" I answered in a croaky voice.

"Bella! Hey it's Jacob. Are you alright?" Jacob's voice sounded concerned.

I gathered my thoughts.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine, I 'm sorry I didn't come to say bye to you today. I got an emergency call from my father; I needed to be home right away. Forgive me?"



Jacob could see through my lie. "But you didn't say bye to any of us. We know you saw us, plus rumor has it you had an argument with Edward."

"Listen Jacob, fine I'll tell you exactly what happened." For the next hour, Jacob listened to my problems, and comforted me. He didn't act bored, and made his own comments.

"Bella you won't ever have to put up with his crap again I promise you. I got to go. I have homework. But I'll see you tomorrow. "

"Thanks for listening Jacob. I'll see you tomorrow." He hung up first. I lazily got up from my bed. To get ready for the night. I tip toed to the bathroom, making sure that Charlie wouldn't hear me. He was watching TV in the family room. My phone rang a few more times, but I ignored them. I lay on my pillow, and fell asleep. Only to have a nightmare, of the person who I used to care about most.

I know you all probably hate me, but hang on tight. Some things will happen that you may not like. But Edward and Bella will realize that their meant for each other and they'll fall in love. It will turn out good. No worries.
