Chapter 2
Today was a Fairytale?
Bella POV
OH MY GOD! Did he really just say that to me? I CANNOT believe it! I don't know what to say to him though. I want to say yes, but I'm afraid to get into another awful relationship… oh shoot. He's getting that look on his face! I might have waited too long to answer :/
"Edward, I really like you too. I wanna go out with you, but I just got out of a really bad relationship. I'm really not ready for another relationship. I'm really sorry." I told him regretting every word as it left my mouth. I just couldn't do it.
"Are you kidding me? I went through all this trouble, made the meadow look amazing, and you're rejecting me because you're afraid that I'm gonna be like Jamal? You already know that I'm not!"
Crap. I didn't want him to be mad at me! I thought that he would understand!
"No, I'm not rejecting you for thinking that you're going to be like Jamal. I'm rejecting you because I know how you treat the girls that you go out with. I don't want to be treated like them. I'm not your type anyway."
"Bella, please. You don't get it. I don't want to be the guy that the school knows me as anymore. I want to be a better person and I can't be a better person until I know that I am good enough for you."
"Edward… You know that to change the way people think of you all you need to do is act like the real Edward Mason that me everyone else knows. Just because you are in school doesn't mean that you can, or should, act different. We hate when you act like that. The first time you snubbed Alice she went into the bathroom and started crying. That is what needs to change. Also, stop being such a fricken womanizer."
"You think I'm a womanizer? How the HELL am I a womanizer?"
"Well, you treat girls like shit when you get with them and the when you get sick of them you just dump them. You are really mean to them. Maybe you should think about it a little."
**Bella gets up and leaves**
E POV
I cannot believe that she just called me out like that! She didn't even give me a chance to explain myself! I wanted to tell her everything and now I can't!

Alice POV
Text intercepted from Bella to Alice
B: I kno that u had something to do w/ it
A: with what
B: with what Edward just pulled in the meadow
A: why do you say tht
B: cuz it was way to fancy for him to hav done it himself
A: yeah, ur rite but wasn't it amazing
B: no. im pissed
When Bella told me that she was pissed with what we did I was just completely confused. Why the hell would she hate and get angry at something we did to help her? When I saw her enter the mall I, like, attacked her.
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM! EDWARD, ROSE AND I WORKED REALLY HARD TO MAKE THE MEADOW LOOK PERFECT AND YOU REJECTED HIM! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? YOU'VE BEEN CRUSHING ON HIM SENSE FOREVER!"
"I know, Ali. But, this is really hard to explain and it totally drains me. I already said it once, so let's get everyone together and then I will explain it."
"Well let's get going! They're all in Abercrombie and Fitch."
Bella POV
I was not prepared to be so verbally abused by Alice right away. I thought that she would at least wait until we had been a group so that everyone can enjoy my pain and misery. I really am glad she didn't do that though. So when I got to Abercrombie, I felt so weird. Like, all my friends were there with their boyfriends because Alice and Jasper are together and Rosalie and Emmett are together. I guess it would have been nice to be here with Edward, making our debut as a couple. No! it wouldn't be good! He just dumped Katie yesterday! He doesn't really wanna go out with me. He's just rebounding! Yeah! That's what it is.
"Alice! Come here!"
*Alice walks over kinda annoyed*
"What do you want Isabella?"
Great, she sounds pissed! Why did I piss her off, she has no right to be pissed. I'm the only one allowed to be pissed.
"Wait. Are you mad at me?"
*Alice gets fake happy face on*
"WOW good job! You solved the puzzle! Hah yes I am."
"Why, Ali? I didn't do anything to you!"
"You rejected my brother and all because you feel the need to make him suffer. The only reason he went out with all the other girls was because he was never truly happy with any of them. And all the rumors about him having sex with them are wrong. He never did it, every time a new rumor came out; he told me it was false. One time when our mother found out, she freaked and made Dad give him "The Talk!" He would never do it and make it public like that."
"Alice! I did not just reject him just to get some kind of sick pleasure from it! You know me! I cannot believe that you would believe that I would do that! "
"Well, then why were you stupid enough to do that? Because we all know that you are in love with him and well now you know as well. But seriously, he's like in love with you too! So you really screwed it up."
**Edward enters store quietly because he wants to hear Bella's reason. He really didn't understand why she rejected him. He had thought that they had something special**
"Yeah, I know I screwed up. And I really regret doing that, but I don't want to be happy with someone and have to deal with all the rumors that are going to start almost instantly. I know that seems really shallow and like I'm only thinking about myself but I can't handle that! I've always blended into the background. And I don't know it's stupid, but what if he's just rebounding off of Katie?" **Edward approaches the girls**
Edward POV
I really can't believe I'm about to do this. But it is the only thing I can think of to prove myself to her. I really do think I love her so here we go.
As soon as I got to the mall, I knew I needed help. I called Rosalie and she snuck out of Abercrombie and met me at Kay. I decided that I'm gonna prove to Bella that I can be there for her and that I really do love her and that I am not rebounding off of Katie.
"Bella?"
"Edward! Shit! How much of that did you hear?"
Woahhh Bella NEVER swears! She must not have wanted me to hear that! Well I can't un-hear it.
"W-w-well Bella, I heard your reason for rejecting me earlier, even though you had already told me, but I think that it hurts just as much the second time. I want to explain myself to you more, Bella. Can I?"
"Yeah, I guess that you can."
"Well, I will just leave you two alone now. Take your time." Alice interjected.
"Thank you so much, Bella! Yeah Alice, you will. Okay, so I went into Kate's house yesterday with the plan to break up with her. I was going to do this because I just allowed myself to accept how much I liked a different girl. This girl is you, Bells. I realized that I really liked you a couple of years ago when I started going out with Tanya. She bored me and we couldn't hold a conversation at all. Being with her was nothing like being with you. When there was a silence, it was awkward. When I'm with you, the silences are natural, and never have been awkward. When I met Kate I knew that I didn't really like her. I was just settling for her. So yesterday I went to her house to break up with her. I thought that she was going to take it really hard. She did, but I didn't care, because I found out that she was cheating on me with Jamal. That's when I went home and asked my sisters to help me with the meadow. It definitely did not go as I planned it. "I really want you to ignore all of the rumors that are going around, and even though it may start more, I really want to go out with you!" And I know that we will be able to survive because I know that we have something special."
"AWWW! Edward! That is the sweetest thing that I have ever heard! I'm glad that you know how much I like you. I think that you just need to take a break though. People are starting to believe that you're a player. I like you too much for you to have such a bad reputation."
"Bella, I really don't care what everyone thinks about me. I think that giving them the satisfaction of thinking that they are getting to you by reacting is all that they're looking for. I ignore them and they die down. There won't be any rumors. I know this because neither of us pays attention to them when they start."
"I know Edward. And I really wanna go out with you. Why don't we try it and see how it goes then. I think that's fair right?"
"Yeah, and I was so hopeful that you would say 'yes' that I got something for you. I know that you hate presents, but you're gonna have to get used to it now."
"Okay, but don't give it to me here."
"Haha okay Bells."
