I'm standing here looking absolutely dumbfounded, my mouth hanging wide open. What had just ensued, because I am completely clueless? Nonetheless, I soon close my gaping mouth as I'm pretty sure I look like a fish opening and closing my mouth and begin to drag my legs back to my seat as I hear Bella laugh in the background. For once my face is red as I blush. Since when did Edward Cullen blush, snap out of it!
I continue to walk to my seat when I trip over somebody's chair. I continue to stumble and attempt to gather my balance but unfortunately end up tripping again and landing on top of someone awkwardly. I look up into her cerulean eyes, and she plainly stares right on through and beyond my line of sight, also seeming just as confused as me at the situation.
'Ahh, shit, I'm sorry.' I sit on her lap feeling stupid. The whole class is staring at us now as I look around.
'MR. CULLEN GET OFF HER!' Mr. Banner yells from the front of the room.
'I'll make it up to you, I promise.' At this moment I'm definitely not thinking straight. What am I talking about?
'Uh, no need.' The words escape from her lips and she averts her gaze away from me, her cheeks painted red. She lets out a sigh.
'If you wouldn't mind, you're getting a tad heavy.'
'Oh yeah, sorry.' I slip off her lap and walk carefully to my seat. I sit down and stare out the window.
Thoughts are running through my head so fast I can't grab hold of any of them and turn them into something meaningful. God Isabella Swan, you're truly amazing. I manage to reconstruct this memory in my mind.
It was in my bedroom in year 8, 3 years ago. We were lying on the bed cuddled up talking.
'Do you think we'll always be together?' Her tone was serious and delicate.
'Of course we will Bella, I love you so much.'
'Love you too Eddie.' I remember she used to call me Eddie and I would call her babe, she was the best thing in my life.
We were then kissing like never before. I was on top of her propping myself up with my arms either side of us. Our legs were entangled and it was getting heated. I ripped off her top exposing her body; for a fourteen year old her body was nicely shaped.
She removed my shirt and began to kiss more aggressively and passionately. Our tongues were dancing together in harmony. It was heaven. The rest of the night we played around without much of a care.
I'm bought back from my memories-back into reality-with a sigh. I miss Bella so much, why did I hurt her so much? I am a complete idiot and she doesn't deserve me, nobody does.

My face is like a giant tomato thanks to Cullen. Why did it have to be me? Am I really that bad to people, because I at least try to be nice?
I look over to Edward to see him looking out the window. He is pondering about something; I can see it in his eyes. I must admit, I miss him a bit. He was amazing.
The events of one special day are burnt into my mind. I remember hearing music playing in the background while Edward and I were dancing silently.
Would you dance
if I asked you to dance?
Would you run
and never look back?
Would you cry
if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?
Would you tremble
if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
He stopped dancing and let his eyes fall and meet mine. His eyes shouted that he was in pain, I was so confused.
He tells me abruptly, 'Bella, I'm so sorry but when I went camping with my family, there was this girl I met. She meant nothing to me and I love you soo much babe, but I couldn't hide it any longer.'
He must've noticed by the look on my face that it was obvious that he had broken my heart.
'YOU BASTARD, GET OUT!!!' I indicated to the door and he left immediately which hurt me even more, he didn't even attempt to save our relationship.
I fell to my knees and cried for god knows how long. But eventually I got up and called Jacob who came over and comforted me. He held me in his arms all night while I sobbed; he was a true friend.
The memory is ripped away from me suddenly, attributable to the sudden rush of students filing out of the classroom. I return to realism shuddering at the thought of that painful night.
I miserably walk to lunch now feeling sick, trudging to the first lone table that I see in the corner and sit quietly. I am soon greeted by a familiar and unwanted voice.
'Uh hi, Bella. Sorry about music again.'
'It's fine, really,' I assure him. I hide my uneasy tone trying to sound calm, but secretly my heart is pounding in my chest ready to explode.
'Well to make it up to you how about I take you to dinner and the movies tonight?'
I'm caught off guard at his abruptness and am rather embarrassed, but I don't want to hurt his feelings. I look at him awkwardly and lucky someone catches on and saves me.
'Sorry we're going out tonight.' I look up to see Jacob; I will thank him so much for this later.
'Oh, right, maybe some other time.' He flashes me a crushing smile symbolising his rejection and for once I feel a bit sorry for him.
He walks back to his usual table with Jasper, Emmet, Rosalie and Alice not daring to look back. On the way though I swear I hear him say 'Stupid dog, I was only trying to be nice.' I smile and look back up to Jacob.
'Thanks.'
'No problem. But actually Bella, would you like to go out with me tonight?' His voice is smooth and confident.
'That sounds good, Jake.'
'Great, I'll pick you up around 6pm…'
'Looking forward to it.' I grant him a smile.
The rest of lunch is filled with unimportant chit chat and before I know it, school is over for another day.
'Bella! Ready to go?' Alice squeaks at me smiling from ear to ear. I nod and she bounces towards Edward's Volvo. I follow in tow. I open my mouth to ask why we're getting a lift with Edward when Alice explains before I get the chance to let out a sound.
'Rosalie and Emmet are going on a camping trip for their 3 year anniversary; they were heading to the place straight from her.'
Edward and Jasper are already in their respective places in the car, Jasper in the back and Edward driving. I figure as Jasper and Alice would want some room I may as well take the front seat.
With an inaudible sigh I hop into the car placing myself down on the soft leather seats. Edward looks toward me with his piercing gaze then quickly glances back out the front window ignoring me. He turns the key in the ignition and we are halfway home in no time. Funny that, I now call the Cullens' and Hales' place home.
'Alice, I'm going on a date with Jake tonight I'm going to need your help getting ready.' I hear her gasp and I smile politely to her in the revision mirror. I now looked to Edward whose fists are clenched to the steering wheel so hard it looks as if it's about to snap in half, his veins pulsing.
'YAY BELLA! I'm so happy for you!' Her words are genuine, I could say different for Edward though.
'What's your problem?' I inquire to Edward trying to defend myself.
'You know I hate him!' Wow he really doesn't like Jake.
'So, that's not my problem. I can go out with whoever I like. I don't need your approval Edward.'
I could now cut the tension in the car with a butter knife. The rest of the trip home is in complete and utter silence, nobody dares to speak, especially Edward.
