Chapter three.
"Drink this", he ordered handing me a cup of coffee. I sat on Edward's couch, traumatized. He sat down next to me and placed an arm around my shoulder.
"I'm sorry", I whispered staring at my shoes.
"You really scared me, Bella, you know that", Edward snapped, "Why didn't you use the highway? How come you were late?"
"I had a detention", I explained, "so I thought of taking a short cut so I could get here faster."
"Couldn't you…call me when you knew it was dark?" he demanded.
"You weren't the only one scared", I shouted back at him. I ripped his hand away and stood up.
A tear escaped my eye and rolled down my cheek.
"I'm sorry, babe", Edward whispered. He stood up and wrapped his arms around me. Hugging me so tight I could hardly breathe, "you're ok now, I'm sorry, I was just…mad. I can't survive if anything happens to you, you know that right?"
I looked up at him. He wiped away my tears and kissed my forehead.
We spent the rest of the evening on the couch in silence. I sat on Edward's lap whilst he played with me hair. I couldn't say it was the best day of my life, but being so close to Edward was certainly the best moments of my life.
From being so scared to realising he was there for me. Because he cared. He loved me as I was. And I could talk to him.
"I better get you home, Bells, your mum will be mad", he whispered in my ear. I groaned and hugged him tighter.
"S'not fair. I don't wanna go home", I sighed but getting off him all the same.
"I don't want you to go either", he explained, "but…I doubt your parents would allow you to spent the night here."
"They would let James", I muttered throwing my jacket on.
"Still got James problems?" asked Edward picking up my bag. I reached over for it but he swung it over his own shoulder.
"He's the favourite. The golden child", I shrugged, "and I'm…a disappointment."
"Hey", Edward said suddenly very seriously. He grabbed both my shoulder until I was forced to stare up at him.
"Don't ever say that again, ok? If your parents can't see what a brilliant, gorgeous and gifted person you are, then it's their loss", Edward told me, his green eyes were piercing and hypnotic, "you are not a disappointment."
"Then why do they hate me?" I asked, my voice shaking. Why? Whatever reason he would come up with for them ignoring me and picking on me, he surely couldn't answer that question.
"Because they're blind", he answered simply.
