A Broken Girl
Chapter 4
Epov
I made my over to Bella's house without Alice as she had already gone. When I got to Bella's she was just coming out of her house. When she turned around and seen me getting out of the car she smiled and blushed at me. I walked up to her and toke her hand. I leaned in and gave her a small kiss.
"Morning. Were you leaving without me?" I asked her. I could tell she had thought I forgot about her. That's impossible.
"No...Okay yes I thought you forgot so yea" she blushed and looked away from me.
"I didn't forget. Just got out of bed late!" I told her with a smile as I led her to me car. I opened the door for her. She smiled at me and got in.
I walked around and got in. I was out and off to school, with Bella sitting in my car. I reached for her hand and held it in the middle of the console. I rubbed circles with my thumb just like yesterday. I could feel Bella watching me. When I looked over I was shocked at what I seen in her eyes. It was almost like she was telling me what she couldn't say. There was love in her eyes.
"Em are you sure you still want to tell everyone about us?" she asked.
"Off course I'm sure. If people don't accept were going out then why should that effect us seeing each other?" I said to her.
"It shouldn't" she concluded.
Just as she said that I pulled into the school parking lot. I could tell all of our year was there as well as the majority of the school. I parked in the space beside Emmett's truck.
"Don't move" I told her as I got out. I went around and opened her door. I reached in and toke her hand, when she wouldn't step out. When she wouldn't budge I knelt beside the door.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"People are going to be staring at me!" she said in a worried voice.
"And I'm going to be right beside you. We have a good few classes together, so don't mind everyone else! And beside you're beautiful, why wouldn't they stare at you" I told her as I leaned in and kissed her. It was a slow kiss. When I heard a cough from behind me I broke away from Bella. There standing behind me was Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie and Alice. All of them had smiles on there faces.
"Come on" I said to Bella as I turned back to her. She nodded and got out of the car. I toke her hand and closed the door. We walked over to the guys and the whole parking lot was now looking at us.
"So you two are going out now?" asked Emmett the minute we stopped.
"Yea" was my simple answer. They all nodded and Alice screamed and ran over to Bella and hugged her.
"It's about time as well" Alice said after she let go of Bella. I brought my arm around Bella's shoulder, as she came closer to my side. I could feel eyes boring into me and when I looked it was all my 'followers'. Lauren looked as if she was going to murder someone. Mike had a look of shock on his face. I didn't bother looking at the rest of them. I turned back to Bella.
"Do you want to get you're books" I asked her.
"Em yea sure" she said nodding her head. We said bye to the guys and walked off. We were followed with stares from everyone in the parking lot. When we got into the school everyone was once again looking at us. I don't get, why stare at us like were zoo animals!
"Told you everyone would stare at us!" Bella said to me when we got to her locker. I guess my face was very readable. I smiled at her and had the pleasure of watching her eyes widen and her breathing deepen. I looked at her lips and back to her eyes. She did the exact same. I leaned in and kissed her. She responded straight away. I ran my tongue across her bottom lip, just as she opened her lips to grant me access. She moaned when our tongues met. I wrapped my arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer. When I was in need of air we broke away and I smiled at her and kissed her nose. I could feel a lot of eyes on me and when I looked up from Bella half the hallway was staring at us with wide eyes. I rolled my eyes and looked back at Bella. I motioned to her to come over to my locker. When we had my books we went to our English class. I still had a hold of her hand. I brought her hand to my mouth and kissed it. We arrived at class before anyone else. We toke the same seat as the day before.
"You're not talking to you're friends are you?" she asked me.
"They were never really my friends. My friends are Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie and Alice. And then there's you. But some of those guys are bearable. Like Ben and Angela and Justin. But the rest of them I can't stand" I said to her.
"Is it true you umm...slept with Lauren and Jessica?" she asked me nervously. I could tell she didn't want to know the answer.
"No I didn't. I'm still a virgin" I told her honestly. It was the truth. I was waiting for her or someone special.
"Oh" was all she said.
"Do you want to come over to mine after school? You haven't been there in a while!" I asked her softly. I really only wanted to change the subject.
"Yeah sure that sounds great" she said to me frowning slightly "You changed the subject. Why?"
"I don't know it's just weird. I've always wanted to wait for that someone special. I don't know I guess its stupid coming from a guy huh!" I replied to her.
"It's not stupid. It's responsible, that was my plan any way ya know" she said to me sadly. Shit I just fucked up. I leaned over to her and brought her face closer to mine. I kissed her softly and slowly. She responded to my kiss as I knew she would. We continued to kiss for several minutes. It was soft and I actually liked it, I never did before.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I didn't think, sorry"
"Don't apologise Edward. It's fine really" she said to me with a smile. I nodded to her and was about to kiss her when Mr. Berty walked in. He stopped in his tracks when he spotted me in my seat. He looked at the way me and Bella was positioned and raised his eyebrows.
"I won't even ask. But Edward why are you here before class?" he asked me sarcastically.
"Because I decided to come early. And also Bella and me wanted privacy" I said to him.
"Yes the whispers are pretty loud this morning!" he stated to us. Seriously don't these people have lives of their own?
"So Bella how are you feeling this morning?" Mr. Berty asked her. Bella smiled at him and answered politely. Me I would have told him to fuck off and mind his own business, but not Bella.
"I'm great sir, thanks for asking" she said.
"Good" he replied half-heartedly.
Students were starting to arrive in and most of them looked at me and Bella. I was holding her hand rubbing circles on it. I didn't even realise I was doing it. I turned back to Bella and pulled my table closer to hers.
"People are going to be staring at us all day aren't they?" I whispered into her ear softly. She turned her head and smiled at me and nodded.
"Yeah, are you still happy about you're decision?" she asked me. I knew she wasn't comfortable with people looking at her.
"Most definitely" I told her honestly.
"Mr. Cullen if you and Miss. Swan don't want to share you're conversation. I suggest you keep quiet" Mr. Berty said to me. Stupid teacher.
"Yes sir. But how bout you get back to you're teaching" I suggested to him. There were several laughs from people around the room. I seen Bella shaking her head and when I turned to her there was something different. I didn't know what. When I mouthed to her 'what's wrong' she just merely shook her head and mouthed back 'later' to me. Now I was confused. Did I fuck up or something? I guess I'll find out later. The rest of class went by fast. I was walking Bella to her next class. We were holding hands and everyone was staring at us once again. I stopped at the door and leaned in and kissed her.
"I'll see you at lunch" I said to her. She nodded at me and we said our goodbyes. I made my way to Trig. Mike was waiting for me outside the door.
"Dude what the fuck is going on with you and the freak?" he asked me. I was already beyond pissed. I was about to punch him when Jasper came up us.
"Hey man, you coming in?" he asked me. He knew I was pissed and was just helping me out. I nodded to him and we walked into class.
"You alri man?" he asked me.
"I'm sick and tired of everyone looking and me and wondering why the fuck I'm with Bella. It's been a day Jazz. A fucking day and everyone is already judging and rumours have already started. Bella knew this would happen" I had to stop talking as I making a fool of myself. Japer just laughed at me. I raised my eyebrow at him.
"Dude it was like that when Alice and me got together. People here have nothing better to do but gossip. Just ignore them okay" he said to me. I zoned out for the rest of class and just thought about what people were saying already. Music and gym passed by faster than I thought possible. I waited for Bella outside her last class. She was coming out of Spanish with her head bowed down and books clutched to her chest. I could see from where I was standing, that tears were in her eyes. I was about to walk over to her but stopped when I seen Jessica and Lauren coming out of the classroom, with smiles on their faces. Neither Bella nor Jessica or Lauren had seen me yet so I heard what Lauren said to Bella.
"You're just a freak. Edward doesn't like you and never will. This is all just a joke" she said to Bella's back. I had enough. I walked over to them and when they both froze I was more than satisfied. I walked over to Bella and put my hand on her shoulder. She jumped and looked at me and then turned back around and walked away from me. She didn't look back, but kept on walking. I turned back to Jessica and Lauren.
"What did you tramps say to her?" I asked them. To say I was angry at Mike earlier was an understatement. I was furious if they dud something to hurt mine and Bella's relationship. They knew I was angry as Jessica quickly blurted out the reason.
"Lauren called her a tramp and said you were only talking and being with Bella was that you had a bet going with Mike and Tyler" she said. I didn't even say anything just turned and walked the same way Bella did. I found her sitting on one of the seldom used benches, with her head buried in her hands, her frame was shaking. She was crying. I ran over to her and knelt infront of her.
"Bella" was all I said. She looked up and what I saw broke my heart. Her eyes were red and had tears still in them. I wanted to punch those whores right about now. I could also see hurt and some angry.
"You said you weren't like everyone else and that you liked me. No sorry loved me seems to be the word you used. And I was just a bet for you. I told you something that I haven't even told some of the people who actually care bout me. I can't believe I-" I stopped her by placing my lips on hers. I was shocked when she pushed me away.
"It wasn't a lie Bella. Ask Alice she's known that I've been in love with you since you came here. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. I love you and if you don't believe that then fine, but don't listen to those tramps that are jealous that I picked someone better looking than them and much more of a decent person" I said to her. I moved closer to her and until I was right in front of her. I could see in her eyes that she believed me. I brought my hand up to her cheek and stroked it. I looked into her eyes then looked at her lips. I leaned in and kissed her. I was elated when she didn't push me away. We continued to kiss for several minutes, until we both needed air. I leaned my forehead against hers.
"I do love you Bella and it isn't a joke!" I said to her. She nodded her head and what she said made me the happiest man on earth.
"I know, and Edward I love you too" she said looking into my eyes. I smiled at her and lifted her up and swung her around while kissing her. I realised that we hadn't had lunch yet.
"Come on we better go and get lunch" I said to her. She nodded her head and we both toke a deep breath and walked towards the cafeteria. I could tell that this was going to be one hell of a year.
