Thanks for the continuing support! Here's the next chapter as promised! This will be a short story, I'm thinking maybe 9 or 10 chapters in total.
Looking forwards to reading your thoughts!
*2 years later, Age 14*
"Leave me alone Edward!" Bella screamed as she slammed the door in my face. Ouch. We have been dating for three months and just had our first big fight.
"Bella I'm sorry, please let me explain." I gently knocked on the door and jumped back when it swung open. I was expecting Bella to be on the other side but instead it was Mr. Swan, her father. "Good night Mr. Swan, I…can I…Is…"
"Spit it out, son." He said, and I could see a small smile on his face. It's not fair, Bella knows my fear of her father.
"I need to see Bella, please, sir." I mumbled, he was making me more nervous.
Flashback
The bell rang letting us know that school was over for the day and it was Friday so we had two days off. Finally, freedom. I thought with a smile and raced to catch up to Bella. I asked her out exactly three months ago and she said yes, I was so happy that I finally found the courage to ask her.
Last night I asked her if she wanted to go on a triple date with Em, Rosie, Ali and Jasper. Ali and Jazz started dating one year ago, he asked her to be his girlfriend the week before eighth grade prom and she jumped up and down for a long time because she was so excited.
Even though we have known each other for a long time, Bella still don't like Rosie and the same goes for Rosie liking her, so she didn't answer right away, but when I reminded her it was our three months anniversary she bit her lip and nodded. I smiled and pulled her in for a hug, I was finally going on a date with Bella!
The night started out great, Emmett has a car and his license now she he picked Rosie and Jasper up before we went to dinner and a movie. Emmett and told me that whenever he and Rosie went on a date, he always gave her flowers when he picked her up, so I begged my mom to get me for flowers for Bella which she finally gave me some money to get them. I got her some blue ones; she had told me it was her favourite color.
I walked to Bella's house and knocked on the door, just like Em said I should do, then held the flowers in front of me. Bella's dad, Mr. Swan, opened the door.
He smiled, crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe, "Well look at you looking as handsome as ever. I always knew you two would end up together."
"Dad, is that Edward?" I heard Bella's voice and I smiled.
Mr. Swan moved to the side and we locked gazes right away. She is beautiful, I thought and my cheeks started to hurt from smiling. "Hi-hi Bella. You look pretty, these ar-are for you." I held the flowers towards her and her cheeks turned pink again. When I asked Em about it before, he told me it was called a 'blush'.
"Thank you," She took the flowers and held them to her face, smelling them.
"I'll take those Bells, have fun tonight kids. Behave Edward." I looked towards Mr. Swan, and I could feel myself becoming scared at the tone of his voice, but when he winked and smiled at me, I knew he was just kidding. Letting out a breath, I nodded and took Bella's hand as we walked towards Em's car.
At the restaurant, me and Bella sat at a table behind Em and Rosie. They were 'supervising' us tonight and even though I told my mom and dad I was old enough, they wouldn't listen. Ali and Jasper said on the other side. We talked the entire time, and I was having lots of fun on our first date.
Once we were done eating, we paid for our meal and began walking towards the movie theatre which was just next door. Just as we were about to buy our tickets, I heard a voice call my name. When I turned to see who it was, I felt someone's arms wrap around me.
"Oh Eddie, I missed you so much!" That voice belonged to Tanya Denali who was always following me around school even though I told her I was dating Bella. She went on vacation at the beginning of spring break and got back yesterday.
"Tanya, my name isn't Eddie, it's Edward. And I'm on a date with Bella so I can't talk right now, our movie is about to start." I looked around to see if Em and Rosie were still waiting for us, but I couldn't see them anywhere. Jazz and Ali were waiting by the snack counter holding a bag of popcorn and a drink.
"But don't you remember Edward, you told me you loved me!" Tanya stomped her foot and I looked towards Bella to see her staring at the ground.
I was about to say something when I felt two hands on my cheeks and someone's lips on mine. At first I thought it was Bella, but when I saw the blond hair I could tell it was Tanya. I tried to push her away but I didn't want to hurt her either and I was told to never lay a hand on a girl.
When she finally pulled away I looked where Bella was standing only to see the spot empty and Em walking towards me.
"Tanya! Why did you do that?" I was mad at Tanya, and upset that Bella had to see it.
"Cause you love me!" Tanya stomped her foot and crossed her arms.
"No I don't, I love Bella!" I turned and ran into my brother's chest. "Omf." He hands gripped my arm to keep me from falling and then pulled be away from Tanya and towards everyone else who was comforting a crying Bella. Did I make Bella cry?
"Em, can you take me home?" I heard Bella whisper.
"Bella I'm sorry! She kissed me. You know I only love you, please believe me." I begged her to look at me but she wouldn't. Ali was sitting on one side, and surprisingly, Rosie was on the other. They both had an arm wrapped around her as she wiped her tears away.
"Come on Bells, I'll take you home." He bent down to kiss Rosie, "I'll be back soon babe." He said as he offered Bella his hand and walked away from us. I chased after them, calling their names but they didn't stop.
"Em, Bella, wait! I'm sorry!" I could feel tears in my eyes but I brushed them away, I wasn't going to cry.
I caught up to them as they reached Em's car and climbed into the backseat.
"What are you doing, Ed? Go back to the movie, I'll be back soon." Em said as he looked at me through the mirror. I shook my head.
The ride was quiet until he pulled into Bella's driveway. She mumbled a "thank you" and got out of the car. I was about to follow her when I heard the click of the child lock coming from the door.
"Em, let me out! I need to talk to her, I can't lose her, please."
"Whoa, hey calm down. Listen, give her some space if she doesn't want to talk, okay? She just saw you kiss another girl right in front of her and she's really upset. Give her some time and then explain again when she's calm, got it?" I nodded and desperately looked at the handle again. I heard another click and tried the door, it swung open and I ran to catch up to Bella.
End of Flashback
"She's really upset Edward, how about to come in and tell me what happened?" I nodded slowly, I just wanted to see Bella.
I followed Mr. Swan to the living room and took a seat on the couch then began to explain what had happened at the movie theatre with Tanya and the kiss. Just as I was finished my story I heard Bella's voice.
"You mean, you really didn't kiss her?" Her eyes were red and watery and she sniffled after every few words.
I shook my head and slowly walked towards her, "I love you Bella, and only you. Tanya is just jealous and she kissed me. I wanted to push her away but-" I didn't get a chance to finish when I felt Bella's arms wrap around me tightly. I returned the hug right away and smiled again, I have my girl back.
They still got their happy ending, so far at least!
Can't wait to read what you think about this chapter!
Until next time,
