Kiss him!
No!
Yes!
No!
Yes!
Fuck
"I know you want me Isabella." Edward murmured with a crooked smile. His eyes were dancing with excitement and playfulness, but at the same time, they were guarded.
"You're right Cullen..." I smiled and just when his smile began to grow i finished my sentence, "...I want you to get the fuck off me."
I got the satisfaction of watching my words slowly sink in, his brows furrowed and eyes narrowed.
"Really?" He hissed through clenched teeth. Before I could respond with some colorful words, Edward leaned right down on me, he swung his legs in between my thighs. His knees pushed my legs further apart. I could feel his sculptured chest against my own, the heat!
"You say you want me to fuck off Isabella, but you're body betrays you're words." His lips were so close! So fucking close! I was getting even more intoxicated just by his nearness. The smirk, that beautiful-annoying smirk was back.
"You're very fucking sure of yourself aren't you Mr Cullen." I said trying to sound angry. Sadly, it came out as a whisper.
"You want me as much as I want you...admit it." He shifted slightly over me so his forehead rested on mine. "Wow Mr Cullen, you're right! I want you. Right now. Right here." I don't know where my sudden courage came from but I lifted my hips to grind against his very, very, prominent erection.
"Take me now Mr Cullen." I said wrapping my legs around his waist. Edwards eyes widened and he looked taken back by my sudden submissive behavior.
"I uh..." He hesitated and pushed himself away from my body further so their was a gap. "Come on, you said it yourself, you always get what you want. Well take what you want." I seethed. He seemed confused, his brow was knitted together and his mouth was in a frown. I knew he would be unsure of my sudden willingness. Just like every self-obsessed guy out there he was obsessed with the chase, but as soon as the girl lay down and opened her legs they ran a mile. He was like a dog, all bark but no bite.
Without another word he slipped off me, he stood a few feet away from the bed. His body rigid as I lay there glaring at him.
"What's wrong you're highness?" I growled flinging my legs over the edge of the bed to sit up. My head spun and I winced slightly but managed to smother it and slip off the bed to walk towards Edward. His eyes widened, he looked genuinely nervous.
Little did he know how I was feeling. I was furious, nervous, terrified and most of all, sad. I wanted him to feel what I was feeling. I wanted him to remember, to remember me.
"Take me," I said standing right in front of him. He was staring straight into my eyes, looking for a way out of this. I pushed against his chest, not hard - just a small shove – trying to coax him further. "Stop it!" He growled, his voice low and threatening. Perfect.
"What's wrong Cullen?!" I hissed moving closer so our chests were touching. "Fuck me!" I bellowed.
Edward grabbed my wrists and held them at my sides, when I was going to shove him again. His eyes were dancing with emotions, but he kept himself calm. "You're drunk Bella. Stop this now!" He said in a controlled voice.
I couldn't help but smirk when he pinned my arms to my side and slipped out from between me and the wall. He didn't move far, he stayed a few feet to my left and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Do... do I know you from somewhere?" He asked after a few moments of silence.
Do i know you from somewhere? Ha!
Yes. "You tell me Mr Cullen" I said slowly. His brows furrowed and he ran a hand through his messy hair. A nervous habit he had maintained over the years.
Without saying a word I started for the door.
"Wait!" He called out as I flung the door open, "...Bella! You have to wait in here for Emmett." He grabbed my arm and spun me around. "I'm not waiting in that room with you another minuet!" I hissed, through clenched teeth.
My head was really starting to thump painfully. The alcohol was disorientating and being close to him seemed to make me more incoherent. I knew what I had to do, I had to get far away from Edward Cullen before I exploded. There was quite a crowd outside the door, all huddled around a table with lines of powder in front of different people. They all turned to us when I yelled at Edward. His eyes were flaming with rage, he took in the crowd watching, gripping my arm a little then letting it drop to my side. He stood up straighter and squared his shoulders, the calm mask overtaking his beautiful face.
"Get inside the room now Isabella." He said in a cold voice. His eyes were still filled with anger but he was controlling it.
"Get fucked Cullen" I snapped back. There were a few gasps from the horde, followed by whispers. Edward noticed and that made him even angrier, obviously no one defied Edward fucking Cullen.
"I wont ask again. Get you're fucking ass in the room or I will make you!" He clenched his fists and glared at me with what was quite easily the scariest look anyone had ever given me. I suppressed a shudder and stared at him. The silence was getting to him, his eyes darted around to see what the crowd was doing. Thats when it hit me, like a fucking freight train. He was acting like this to keep his precious reputation intact. No one had told Edward Cullen to 'get fucked', no one would stand up to him. I probably looked like a fucking alien to these people.
I couldn't contain the smile that spread across my face. I was about to cross all the lines, and hopefully teach these people about free will and not following the crowd.
In my peripheral vision I noticed more people were filtering in to see what was happening. Good, the more the merrier.
Edward tensed when he noticed my grin, his eyes narrowed and jaw tensed, causing me to let out a laugh.
"I'm not going back into that room Cullen..." I continued to smirk and shrugged "... especially since you cant follow through." I added when he was about to interrupt. More murmurers passed around the hallway and Edward furrowed his brow slightly, showing he was confused.
"You know... when you couldn't fuck me?" I said loudly and everyone was silent for a beat, then it all broke out. Gasps, whisperers and even a few laughs. I turned towards the table of people, "I know! It's insane right?! I mean, its Cullen! Even me, the new girl, had heard about his reputation. Yet he couldn't do it... maybe Cullen junior was on vacation?" I smiled and patted a random girl on the shoulder, she hadn't blinked for about 30 seconds.
I turned back to Edward, he was turning red in the face and his fists were shaking. Great, here we go. Not wanting to see Edward through his hissy fit I turned and started walking through the crowd, towards – what i presumed to be – the exit.
"Actually Bella. The reason I wouldn't fuck you is because I didn't want to catch anything!" Edwards voice rang out over all the talking, causing everyone to fall back into silence.
I spun around to see him standing on a chair, still at the other end of the hall. He was visibly mad, but he was smirking now with that same glint in his eye as earlier.
"That's original Cullen. Why don't you think of a better comeback then get a hold of me!" I called out, his eyes narrowed slightly but his smirk stayed in place.
"Its not an excuse Bella. Its the truth. Didn't Emmett find you in Phoenix butt naked riding a random guy?" He said this very, very loud. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole house heard. I did notice the people around me cringe back slightly.
"He wasn't a random, Cullen!" I snarled, feeling the anger boil up again. This seemed to excite Edward more, he was now grinning.
"Not what I heard... You're a whore Bella. The more people that know, the better." He shrugged and I noticed a few people nodded. Well this was fucked up.
I couldn't believe he just ... did he really? Seriously... did he just call me a ... whore?
Oh no! Oh hell no!
"Whore?" I snorted.
"Yes, whore. You think you're better than everyone else Isabella. But you're not. You're nothing but a useless waste-of-space, unable of feeling any emotions other than what a paying man gives you. You should have stayed in Phoenix so you could open up you're brothel! People here have standards... and you are well below those standards!" Edward called out, louder than ever. He was yelling now, his voice reaching every corner of the house, I was positive it even echoed for a bit.
Stunned beyond belief I managed to compose myself. There was no anger anymore, no sadness. I wasn't empty I just felt ... freedom.
I had no reason to talk or see this boy ever again in my life. For all tonight I had been wishing he would change back too the 12 year old, I even thought I saw that side of him. But I was wrong, like so many other things.
Suddenly four people busted into the hallway, a few feet from Edward. Emmett looked at me, trying to evaluate the damage.
"What? No pimp or teenage mother jokes? Come on, you were on a roll... don't stop now that you're Elite crew is here!" I laughed hysterically and clapped my hands moving a few steps closer to them.
"...So far you used, 'Bella has diseases' and 'Bella's a whore' what's next Cullen...? Don't stop now, let it all out!" I sang in a cherry voice.
Edward was looking at me like I had three heads, along with everyone else. Fan-fucking-tastic.
"I'm going to say something now..." I said glaring straight at Edward – my whole demeanor changed in seconds. "...I am not a whore! Just because you know I fucked one guy does not give you the right to call me that. Fuck, you have no right to call any girl that! You have no manners and you act like a complete dog towards women. Its little spoiled rich brats like you who killed chivalry. Pick up you're fucking balls and go learn how to treat people, we are humans! Not animals! You do not click you're fingers and we come running! We do not stand on chairs to be the center of attention! Take a long hard look at yourself and figure out how you want you're life to turn out. Because with the attitude you have right now you will loose everything." I moved swiftly back to the exit. When I got to the door I stopped, not facing him I spoke softly but clear, "People are capable of change...Edward." I didn't hang around to see his reaction, I fled. Walking swiftly to the front door I flung it open and was hit with rain.
Dammit! I left my coat inside.
I hesitated for a moment then plowed into the rain, beginning my journey down the Cullen's driveway. The rain wasn't so bad, besides the trees provided some coverage from the wet. I kept to a steady pace, occasionally slipping and falling but nothing major. The combination of alcohol and cold was making my body numb.
I played the nights events over and over in my head. Had I said to much? Not enough? Did he notice how I could never call him Edward? Except for when my back was to him? Had he really wanted me, or where those just empty words?
Whore. He called me a whore. An emotionless whore. I think he had his wires crossed because that was him. He was a cold-hearted bastard, and a man-whore.
"Ugh! Fuck!" I yelled as my head continued to spin. I crouched down and held my head in both my hands, trying to stop the throbbing.
"Get in sweetheart," A smooth voice said. I moved my hands to see a shiny car sitting in front of me – where the fuck did that come from? The honey blond- guitar guy was sitting behind the steering wheel, the passenger window was open.
"Sorry?" I said.
"Come on, get in. I'll give you a lift." He gave a warm smile but I couldn't move. This was one of Edwards friends, what if he's back for revenge?
"Look little lady, I'm not here on behalf of Edward. I'm just dropping you home, so get your sweet ass in the car." I laughed a little then stood up and shuffled myself into his car. It was warm inside, and it smelt like whiskey and tobacco, yum.
"Buckle up miss," He winked, "Oh and I'm Jasper." He took my hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it gently. "Bella," I said breathlessly.
Ooooh, he was good. Smooth as silk.
"Well hold on tight Miss Bella, lets get you home." Jasper let my hand go and in the same minuet we were flying down the Cullen driveway at a speed I was positive was illegal.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" I yelled when he didn't slow down to turn from the driveway onto the highway. I buried my head in my hands, waiting for the car to connect with a tree or another car. But it never came, Jasper's laugh filled the space and I peeked up at him.
"It's alright. I wouldn't let you get hurt." He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Jasper, just drop me off in town. I'm not going home anyway." I said, breaking the comfortable silence.
"Oh? So where are you staying tonight?" He inquired.
"La Push... well I was supposed to. I can't go home, Charlie will kill me." I sighed and pulled at the hem of my dress, trying to make it longer.
"Hmmm... and where is this friend you're staying at?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at me.
"Well he's at the party still" I mumbled, but somehow Jasper heard.
The car came to an abrupt halt and then swung around to go back in the direction of the party.
"What? Jasper! Take me back to Forks! Please! Or just drop me off here!" I yelled.
"Hey, calm down Bella. We aren't going back to the party, you're coming to stay at mine." Jasper said rubbing my hand that was clenched into a ball.
Jasper pulled back onto the Cullen's driveway and just when I was about to shout at him, he pulled into a driveway I had never noticed. It was pitch black down here but I could see a light fast approaching.
"Welcome to the hideout." Jasper said parking in front of a cottage. It looked beautiful, flowers all around, with soft lights giving off a warm feeling. Jasper jumped out of the car and ran around to open my door. When I got out he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the door, which was unlocked.
Inside was just as beautiful, it was specifically designed to feel homey. Nothing was out of place, the colors even matched.
"Hideout?" I asked once the grand tour was complete.
"Yeah, Esme Cullen made it for us kids when we wanted to get out of the house." Jasper shrugged then poured the coffee.
"So who does it belong to?" I asked.
"Well it has 5 rooms, Rosalie's, Alice's, Edwards and mine. Last month we gave the last one to Emmett" He handed the coffee and I sipped it, the heat spread through my body instantly.
"Hmmm, you must be cold in those wet clothes. Come, you can have a bath then head off to bed." Jasper took my coffee out of my hand then pushed me up the small stairs towards his room.
"Okay, come on. Get ready for you're bath. I'll run it." He left me standing next to his bed and disappeared into the on suite bathroom.
"Jasper, can I ask you a question?" I called out when I sat on his bed to take the boots off.
"Shoot darlin" He said, poking his head through the door.
"Why are you doing this for me? After what I said to Edward." A smile spread across his face and he winked.
"Well, mainly because what you said is true. Also you're Emmett's sister, someone has to look out for you." I smiled back a little, happy with his answer.
"So that's it?" I asked.
"And of course the fact you're fucking gorgeous" He disappeared into the bathroom again. I chuckled and finished taking the boots off. Ugh, my feet were so sore.
"Come on Bella!" Jasper sang making me laugh. I peeled the wet dress off and dropped it onto the ground, looking around for a bathrobe.
"Fuck!" Jasper gasped when he walked into the room and saw me standing in my panties and bra.
"What?" I asked confused.
There was a few moments of silence as Jasper raked his eyes up and down my body. If I were sober my face would have been on fire with embarrassment. But there was still a large amount of alcohol in my system. I wasn't embarrassed at all.
"I don't have a robe, just go jump into the bath and I wont look." He said already facing the opposite way. I was shivering and cold to the bone, so I made a quick beeline for the bathroom and threw off my panties and bra before basically diving into the perfect water.
"Oh god!" I moaned loudly. The water felt amazing, it seemed to draw all the tension away from my body. The bubbles had a yummy smell of jasmine and vanilla.
"Good?" Jasper asked leaning against the door. I was unable to answer so I just nodded.
"Mind if I sit?" He nodded towards the seat next to the mirror, once again I just nodded. He didn't take a seat straight away, he left for a few minuets then returned with his guitar. Sitting down he began to play softly, the song was slow and perfect. My body calmed even more and my eyes drooped.
"Thank you Jasper," I whispered. "My pleasure Bella," He whispered back.
The nights events didn't play over in my head. I wasn't agonizing myself with the 'what if'' game, I was calm and content.
Obviously I was a little too relaxed because I woke up to Jasper grabbing me.
"Whoa there Bella! I don't think you can breathe underwater," he had me by the tops of my arms. I opened my eyes to figure out what he was talking about.
"Come on, out you get. Time to get you into bed." Jasper hauled me out of the bath, I completely forgot I was stark naked. He wrapped a towel around me and handed me a shirt.
"Put this on, you can sleep in it." Jasper helped pull the shirt over my head. Then he gave me a weird look and dropped to his knees in front of me with a sigh.
"Okay, step in..." He said, I glanced down to see what on earth he was talking about. I just wanted to go to bed and sleep. There was Jasper, on the ground, trying to help me put my panties on. I stepped one leg in then the other, he drew the panties up my legs till he got mid-thigh. I laughed a little then pulled them right up.
"Thanks Jasper, I probably would have put them on backwards..." I sighed and he stood up so I could lean on him.
"Come on Miss Bella. Time for bed." He swung me up into his arms causing me to gasp, then I was suddenly being placed on a feather soft mattress. Jasper tucked the blankets around me and sat on the edge of the bed, playing with a piece of my hair.
"I think I loved him Jasper..." I said into the silent room, minuets had passed but I was still awake. The lights were still on and Jasper glanced over to me. "Edward?" He asked, stroking my cheek now.
"I knew him when we were 12... we were both in Chicago. He was so sweet and innocent. He was my first kiss." I sounded sad now, even to myself. Jasper just nodded and continued to stroke my cheek. "Then... then he just left me. No word, no answers... nothing." I sniffed, the tears were about to come but I was fighting them back.
Recognition flashed in Jaspers face, "Izzy," he whispered. I shut my eyes tightly and balled my hands into fists.
"Go to sleep Bella... I'll sleep downstairs." He said quickly, then switched the lights off.
"Please! Jasper, please just sleep in here..." I said, grabbing his arm. He hesitated a little, "We won't do anything Jasper, I promise. Just please don't leave me." I whispered.
He sighed deeply then pulled his jacket off and slid into the bed next to me.
"Go to sleep sweetheart... I'll stay." He wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly to him.
It wasn't anything sexual, he was just a friend, comforting another friend.
I buried my head into his chest and murmured a quick thank you. He was being so nice to me, I had made a quick decision that Jasper would be just another Elite. Exactly like Edward, but I was so far from the truth. He was kind, and warm, a true friend.
"I hate him Jasper... he broke my heart twice. He just lost me forever," I said, unsure if he was awake or asleep.
Jaspers arms tightened around me and he shushed me. "He didn't realize who you were Bella..." He said after another few minuets of silence.
"It doesn't change a thing... he will never know how much he hurt me. He will never see me cry. I'm not going to be his victim again, I'm not going to play his sick and twisted games."
Jasper didn't speak after that, he continued to hold me and stroke my hair. Before I knew it I was drifting off to sleep.
"I'll get payback..." I murmured before falling into a deep and peaceful sleep.
Emmett's Point Of View
"You called my sister a whore?!" I yelled at Edward for the hundredth time, it had been 3 hours since Bella had disappeared. I was so ready to crack him in the face for all the harsh things he had said to her. It was only Leon and Mark keeping me from Edward. I could easily push them out of the way and get to Edward, I really wanted to but Alice and Rose were standing next to him.
"Em, I'm sorry! She just... fuck! I don't know, she just pushed all my buttons!" Edward yelled throwing his arms in the air, "..I didn't know who she was..." he mumbled.
"I'll fucking push you're buttons Cullen!" I yelled, taking a step towards him. Leon rushed forwards to try and push me back, "Leon... get the fuck out of my way before I throw you out the fucking window!" I bellowed, swatting his hand off my chest.
"Emmett! Stop this!" Alice scolded and stepped away from Edward to stalk closer to me.
"Alice, stay out of it. This concerns me and Edward." I growled, but she didn't stop. She walked right up to me and poked me in the chest with her finger.
"You shut up Emmett! This has everything to do with us. Now, you're going to calm down and stop threatening my brother. Edward is going to apologize to Bella, tonight. It's not you're decision what happens to Edward, its Bella's. Besides if it was any other girl you would have slapped Edward on the back and congratulated him, so stop being a hypocrite!" She was one scary pixie when she was angry. I huffed a little then nodded, relaxing my balled up fists. Alice turned around to face Edward, he sighed and gave her a dirty look.
"So help me Edward I will let Emmett over there to put you're head through the fucking wall!" She screeched at him. He nodded his head and mumbled something about being a jackass.
"Now, Leon and Mark are going to hunt the house for Bella, I'll give Jazz a call to see if he found her." Alice was being cool, calm and collected now. She had such a evil side, it was kind of scary.
Edward left the room and headed towards his room, slamming the door shut in the process.
"Dickhead," I murmured, causing Alice to glare at me.
My phone vibrated in my pocket, I pulled it out to see I had one new text from Jasper.
I found her down the driveway, trying to walk home.
She staying at the hideout, with me. You're rooms locked so we in mine.
Jazz.
What the fuck was she thinking of walking in this weather without a jacket! Was she insane? No no, not insane, just drunk.
"She's wit Jasper at the hideout." I said to Alice and Rose. They both gave me weird looks and Rose crunched up her face. "Oh he better not have let her anywhere near my room!" She snarled.
"She's in Jaspers room, she's staying the night." I said rubbing my eyes. I was so fucking spent, today had been long. All I wanted to do tonight was get drunk and have a good time, looks like thats not going to happen.
We decided we were going to end the party, then we can go to the hideout and get this shit all cleared up. An hour later and we were all in our cars driving down the hideout. Edward was riding with Alice, - because he had to much to drink during cleanup - and Rose was with me, I was getting fucking tired by now, it was early morning.
"I don't get it Emmett." Rosalie sighed.
"Get what Rose?" I asked, glad she was talking, at least she can keep me awake.
"You want to kill Edward for calling her a whore but you don't care that Jaspers down there probably fucking her brains out." She said matter-of-factly. I nearly lost control of the truck when it hit me.
Bella's with Jasper... Mr Smooth. Shit shit shit shit!
"Fuck!" I bellowed and pushed down on the gas to get there faster. Alice must have been wondering what was going on, but she kept up easily.
I pulled up at the hideout to see Jaspers car was there. I cursed again then jumped out of the car, closely followed by a stumbling Edward then Rose and Alice.
"Emmett, slow down." Alice growled, "..Edward needs to speak with her first." I was up the stairs taking them two at a time then at Jaspers door. Without hesitation I flung the door open and switched the lights on.
There was Bella and Jasper, wrapped around each other like a fucking pretzel. Her fucking bra and top lying on the ground near her boots. I stepped closer and noticed she was wearing Jaspers shirt, which was riding up her stomach, his hand on her bare waist.
"What the fuck?" Edward said pushing past me to get into the room. He stood at the foot of the bed, staring at them in disbelief.
Jasper began to wakeup, his eyes blinked furiously at the harsh lights and mumbled something.
"Dude... what the fuck?! Turn the light off!" He moaned when he noticed Edward.
"What the fuck are you doing Jasper!" Edward yelled, causing Bella to wake. She rolled over but stayed close to Jasper, her eyes fell on mine and she blinked furiously trying to wake up. She took in Rose and Alice standing beside me then her eyes flickered to Edward, she gasped a little then buried her head back into Jaspers chest .
"Edward... fuck off!" Jasper growled, pulling Bella tighter to him.
"Fuck off?! Jasper what the fuck are you doing! What have you done! Get the fuck away from her!" Edward yelled louder. Both him and Jasper looked like they were ready to kill each other.
"Get the fuck out of my room NOW CULLEN!" Jasper growled, stroking Bella's hair.
"Get the fuck away from her!" Edward retorted.
"Shut the fuck up! Both of you!" I yelled glaring at them. "...Edward, stop fucking insulting my sister before I hurt you and Jasper, get off my sister before I hurt you too!" I snarled. Edward stepped back but kept his eyes on Bella. Jasper gave me a look but didn't make any move to get up.
"I said, get off her Hale!" I yelled. Jasper kissed Bella's forehead - causing me to see red – then started to shuffle off the bed. He couldn't get far because Bella wouldn't let him go.
"Bella, let him go right now!" I growled. Her head shot up and her eyes narrowed blazing with fire.
Oh fuck... here we go.
"I'm sorry, what did you say Emmett?" She hissed, shifting so her legs were tucked under her.
"I said, let go of Jasper." Even to me my voice sounded nonthreatening. She was glaring at me now, her stare boring holes into me.
"You turn the fuck around right now Emmett and get out of Jaspers room." She said low and angrily. "I need to talk to you." I huffed, I knew I was going to loose this argument so whats the point?
"Yes, and I need to talk to you. Go wait in you're room or downstairs." She shuffled a little and I turned to leave.
"Wait, Edward had an apology to make." Alice cried out, "... to Bella." This seemed to take Bella by surprise, Jasper tried to unclench the hold she had on his pants.
"Bella, you need to do this by yourself. You'll be fine." He said patting her leg.
"No, you're staying. Whatever he has to say, he can say it in front of you," She shook her head defiantly and turned to look at Edward, who was still staring at her.
"No, you do this one by yourself. I'll be downstairs if you need me." Jasper finally pried her fingers off his pants and stood up and walked towards us. He glanced over at Edward then sighed and we left.
Edward must have closed Jaspers door because the door clicked shut while we walked down the stairs. We couldn't hear anything.
"Whats that all about?" Alice asked Jasper.
"You remember Izzy?" Jasper said when we got to the table, all of us nodded, remembering the story that Edward told us about Chicago.
"Well that's Izzy." Jasper said slumping down to rest his head on the table.
"What?" All three of us gasped.
Everything seemed to fall into place now. I felt so stupid for never thinking about it. Mom and Bella went to Chicago for Christmas almost 5years ago. Bella was never called Bella, her nickname was always Izzy. Then when she came home from the holiday, she wouldn't let anyone call her that. She changed after that holiday, she was quiet and more self conscious.
I never understood her sudden change, Mom said it was just the age she was at. Little did we know it was actually a boy.
Here I was worrying that Edward would hurt Bella while she was here, what I didn't know was that he had already hurt her.
I wasn't paying attention to Jasper and the girls conversation, I was too busy with the realization of what the situation was.
There was a loud crash from upstairs and voices. Jasper and I jumped to our feet but before we could make it to the stairway Bella was stomping down them looking angry as hell.
"Bella...wait!" Edward called from the top of the stairs. "...give me a chance to explain."
"Explain?!" She halted halfway down, she spun around to glare at him, "...explain Edward? NOW you want to explain?!" She yelled, gripping the rail.
"Please...just hear me out." Edward said softly. I wondered for a moment if he would be pleading like this if he was sober, or if he would even care. No, I knew better, Edward actually had feelings for Izzy. This was hard to watch, both of them were hurting. I mean, I love my sister she means the world to me but Edward was like family too, he was also hurting.
"You've managed to wait 5years so far Edward. I don't see the point in explanations now." She was still gripping the rail, but her voice had dropped to a snarl.
"Izzy..-" He started, "Don't!" Bella snapped at him, giving a hard look. She turned around and got to the bottom of the steps, then walked to me and Jasper. "I want to go home now, can either one of you take me?" I nodded and started towards the door, Bella walking closely behind me.
"Wait... no no no! Izzy stop. Listen to me dammit!" Edward flew down the stairs and grabbed her arm just as she stepped through the door.
I watched as Bella took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a fraction of a second, she turned to Edward – who looked like he was close to tears.
"Please... please just listen Izzy, I've missed you..." Edward said desperately. Bella put her free hand on Edwards chest, I thought she was going to pull him to her and possibly kiss him, instead she shoved him hard. He stumbled backwards and dropped her arm.
"You don't get to touch me Edward. You lost all rights to my body when you left me." She hissed, with enough venom to kill any of Edwards hopes that she wasn't being serious.
Bella swallowed hard then turned to walk to my truck, she lifted her head to the sky and let the water fall on her face.
"Izzy... please don't leave me." Edward called from the doorway of the house. He looked like a broken man, nothing like the Edward I had known for the last 6months. Nothing like the Edward everyone in Forks knew him as.
"You walked away from me Edward. Now you can watch me walk away from you." She said then slipped into the passengers side. I climbed in and started the engine, she was looking down at her hands, fidgeting nervously with her hands.
I turned the truck around, before we left I turned to her, "You sure about this Bells?" I asked gently.
"No..." she shook her head, "...but take me home please."
I sighed then sped off down the driveway.
So Edward figured it out. He was all dramatic because of the alcohol... he's going to go back to being a heartless bastard next chapter. Which reminds me, next chapter is the first day of school.
Sorry theres so much drama in the first few chapters, theres a truck-load more to come.
Please review people! I feed off them.
Lidi :]
