Author's notes: For like all the other chapters: Thanks for the reviews :) You should be getting replies from me if the review is signed...

This chapter is short. about 1800 words. Usually they're atleast 2000. But, whatever.

This chapter explains her last relationship and leads up to where the last chapter left off. And I totally didn't expect what happened to happen at all. Haha.

Sorry if there's typos and stuff, I did reread it but I usually miss a ton of stuff.

Chapter 4 songs: Fifteen- Taylor Swift.
Works for the first part of the chaper.

Sink or Swim
Chapter 4: Fifteen

------

Previously on Sink or Swim:

I looked back to Edward. I grabbed a pen out of my purse and his hand. I wrote my number on his hand. "That's my new cell number. Call me sometime."

Then, I turned to walk back towards the door.

-----

After Edward left before freshman year, I was all alone besides Alice & Rose. I only had one class with them the whole day, though. So that left me to make new friends.

In my Spanish class, I had upperclassman, and one was a Sophomore named Tyler.

We sat by each other. I found out that he had taken the class last year, but had to drop because it was bringing down his grades, and he needed at least a C is all his classes to stay on the football team. So, he had to retake it that year.

It started out slow, with simple 'hello's and 'what's up' when we'd see each other in class. But then they turned into conversations and being friendly in the hallways.

Then one day near the end of November, he'd asked to go to the Christmas formal with him. Of course, being an innocent little freshman and him being an older, mysterious, jock, and sophomore, I said yes.

Alice was ecstatic about that, obviously. She'd been asked too, a guy named Chase. Rosalie went with a guy named Ryan. We all went shopping together for dresses and shoes and jewlery and everything we'd need.

The dance is really when things started going with me and Tyler. It was out first dance, our first kiss. Hell, it was the first time we saw each other outside of school.

After that, we officially stated dating. Everyone said we were a good couple.

We dated for over a year. During that first year a lot happened in my life. Well, sort of.

Tyler had said he loved me and I told him I felt the same way. It's not like I was lying... at least at the time I didn't think so.

Alice was totally head over heels for Chase, totally in what she thought was love, only to have him dump her for something 'different'. Something 'better'. She was devistated by that.

My relationship with Tyler lasted all through the summer and into my next year of school.

I'd go to his games and we'd hang out all the time, especially once I got my licence because I didn't need him to pick me up all the time. I was the only person I knew who went to formal two years in a row with the same guy. Alice had a new date, Billy something or other. Rosalie went with a guy named Max.

However, after that, things started to go down hill for us. He'd call me less and he'd see me less. He was blaming it on school and how I wouldn't know how busy he was because I wasn't a junior yet.

He suggested we take a break from each other for a while, which I agreed to because I already felt like we were slipping apart.

The 'break' lasted until about March, when he called and said he'd missed me. I took him back no questions asked.

The break must have helped though, because we were back to as we were before the whole thing ever happened.

The summer was great up until August when swim season started. He was getting mad that I wasn't with him as much.

I didn't get it; he should understand, being in a sport at the same time. It's not like he had all this free time either. And when he wasn't supposed to be at practice, he'd already have plans.

I soon found out what those plans were.

They were a girl named Lauren.

I was sitting at home one night a few days before school started when I got a text. I didn't know who it was from, I didn't recognize the number. It was a picture message.

It showed Tyler and Lauren kissing at some random party.

He called me next day and said he wanted to hang out. I told him I knew what was up to and we were over. I told him to stop calling me.

He said he was sorry, but I didn't believe him.

That's when the phone calls started.

They started happening about once a day, everyday for about three weeks.

I'd answer sometimes just to tell him to stop calling me. He didn't.

Eventually, though, they started thining out to about twice a week.

He didn't get why I didn't want to see him. He'd only kissed someone else, for christ's sake!

He started coming up with all these reasons why I wouldn't want to see him. I don't know where he got his ideas from, they were all crazy.

I can't tell you how excited I was when I went two weeks without hearing from him.

Of course, I can't get that lucky.

(So, here's where the last chapter left off.)

It was had been a week since I gave Edward my number, and he actually did call.

I was sitting my room doing my homework the last time I talked to him but the line cut off on his end, so I figured when the phone rang again, it was him calling back. I was stupid and didn't check my caller ID.

"Edward, really? We just talked."

"Edward? Is that the reason you haven't been calling me? Who is this Edward?"

I internally groaned. "How many time do I have to tell you to Stop. Calling. Me?" I said to Tyler on the other line.

"When you give me a good reason to stop calling."

"Tyler, you cheated on me. I think that's a good reason."

"Oh now, you can get over that."

"No, I can't."

"You can try."

"No. I don't want to. Stop calling me. I mean it. I'm never answering the phone again when you call."

"You've said that before." He said cockily.

"Not my fault." Then I hung up and threw my phone.

"Whoa! What'd that phone ever do to you?" Alice and Rosalie asked while coming into my room.

"Let Tyler call it."

"He called again?" Alice asked.

I sighed, "Yep."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. I'm just going to be a lot more watchful on who's calling me."

"If you don't answer he'll start texting." Rosalie stated.

"Then it's a good thing I have unlimited texting."

"You know, you could, like, report him to a councilor or something if he's bothering you." Alice said.

"Oh, there's not need for that."

"You know what you need?" Rosalie asked. I shook my head. "A boyfriend. Then he'd get that you actually moved on."

"Yeah, because getting a boyfriend is just that easy."

"Well, there's always Edward." Alice said.

"Edward?" I said, surprised.

"Yeah. I mean, he's still totally into you."

"Yeah, I'm sure." I said sarcastically. "Even if that was true, I'm not still 'totally into' him."

"Well," Alice said, "You don't have to be."

No. "Excuse me? Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?"

"That depends. What do you think I'm suggesting?" Alice asked.

"That I use Edward. I could never do that to him."

"Bella. It's not like that."

"Oh, really. Then what is it?"

"You're not using him. You're just using him to... Oh, maybe you are." She gave me a shy smile. "I still don't see the problem." She shrugged.

"You don't see the problem? Alice-"

"Bella, do you want to get rid of Tyler?"

"Yeah, of course, but I don't want to use someone to do that."

"Bella," Rosalie cut in, "Don't think of it like that. Think of it as... oh I don't know. Just pretend you're not using him."

"I think that's easier said than done, Rosalie."

That's when the phone rang. Alice pick it up and handed it to me, "It's Edward." She sang. "Now, ask him out." She said firmly.

I rolled my eyes and took my phone. I pressed the talk button, "Hello?"

"Hey. It's me."

"Oh, hey. What's up?"

"Nothing much since last time. Sorry it cut off, I went under a tunnel."

"Oh, that's okay." I looked at Alice, and she was mouthing 'ask him!' to me. I signed, "Edward?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you busy next weekend?"

"Um, I don't think so. Why?"

"Oh, I was just wondering if you wanted to do something."

"Like what?"

Like what? I looked at Alice. 'Like what?' I mouthed. She grabbed a notebook and motioned for me to keep talking.

"Um, I don't know."

"Well, don't I feel special. You ask me to do something but don't think through what you want to do." He laughed.

"Um, sorry?" I looked at Alice. She wrote movies on the paper. "Movies?" I whispered to her. "What is this? Seventh grade?"

"Just ask." She said.

"Um," I said to the phone, "Movies?"

"What movie?"

"I don't know, geez."

"Whoa, sorry. I'm just curious."

"I'm sorry. I'm just a little annoyed right now. Um, how about I just call you later."

"Yeah, sure. I'll talk to you later."

"Yeah. Bye."

I hung up and threw my phone at Alice. "What the hell? Now he think I'm insane."

"That's not my fault, Bella."

"Okay, but seriously. Movie?"

"Bella, there's this movie coming out this weekend and I know Tyler will be going. If he sees you with Edward..."

"God, how did I ever agree to this. I don't remember agreeing to this."

"Well, you never actually said, 'I'll do this'." Rosalie said.

"I know. So how'd it happen."

"I dont know." Alice said, "Maybe you secretly want to."

"Yeah. I'm sure that's it." I said sarcastically.

So I totally didn't know where to go after that last line... haha.

I totally didn't expect the chapter to go like this. Actually, it's kind of turning into a story I had an idea for before but never got written. Well, except the first chapter, which was fucking awesome, if I do say so myself... so I'm of sad that this one is morphing into that story. Oh well, maybe I'll think of a new plot line for my other one. Ha. If you are following this at all, kudos to you.

Again, sorry it was so short....
