AN: I'm working very hard on this story. I finished this chapter a few days ago. I actually wrote it before I wrote my last chapter. I hope you enjoy it. And again I will not update until I get 10 reviews for this chapter alone.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. It all belongs to Stephenie Meyer and other people.

I cried for a long time. I'm starting to think if I cried anymore that my eyes were going to be permanently puffy and red. Edward never showed any sings that he minded. He just laid on the bed with me on top of him.

He wasn't even angry with me for, lying to him, crying so much, sleeping with another guy. Technically the last one didn't count for I didn't even know Edward and I have a right to my own personal life. But still I should have told him. And he shouldn't be so understanding about it now he knows I've been lying.

"Edward" I started.

"Yes, honey?"

"I am so sorry, for everything" I apologized

"Shh" Edward shushed me. "Don't apologize for anything, love. You were hurting and you didn't think you'd ever have to think about it again." Edward brushed my hair back behind my shoulders. "I can't say I would have done anything different if I had been in your position."

"Why aren't you mad?"

"Why should I be?"

"I lied to you!"

"For understandable reasons."

"I cry a lot!"

"You lost a child, Bella. Esme jumped off a cliff when that happened to her. Moving to a new town and keeping it a secret is a whole lot better." Edward comforted me but I just merely nodded.

"I slept with someone else!" I used the biggest and best argument I could mange. He couldn't say that he was okay with that when nobody in their right mind should be.

"Before we met. Before you knew vampires and werewolves were real. You have right to live your own life, especially before we met."

"You are being way too understanding about this." I pointed out

"Of course I am going to dislike Nate, deep down inside, for sleeping with you. Something not even I have done. And to be perfectly honest, it took all my restraint not to go rip him to pieces right when you said the words that you made love to him." He admitted sheepishly

"That's okay." I laughed

"Why are you laughing?" Edward chuckled

"I was just think if the situation was reversed, well, I don't think I would be able to maintain my control." I confessed

"Well, you know, I could slip." Edward offered

"Wouldn't you rather get even, than kill him?"

"Get even?"

"What better way than to do what you're jealous that he did, ten time better. Or ten time more" I raised one of my eyebrows at that.

Edward sighed theatrically. "I wish"

"Your wish is my command." I said, then I pressed my lips to his. He gave in but he was perfectly in control, not as free as today at school, in the hallway. He pulled away to give me air but then laughed at my pout.

"I want to kiss you again." I whined, lightly, with a smile on my face.

He pressed his lips to mine again less controlled. His hands raked across my body. I flipped so I was straddling him on the bed. At that point Edward broke off the kiss.

I was silent for a long moment as I laid down on his chest again. "Can I ask you for something?"

"You can have whatever you want." Edward promised

I rolled my eyes but he couldn't see. If there was anything he couldn't resist, it was an opportunity to give me something. It was silent for another moment. Edward's hand continued to comb through my hair, while my face was still buried in his neck. "I guess it's more of a request." I explained.

How could I ask him to do anything for me now, after he took the news so well? He was so understanding and here I am, asking him to do more for me.

"You can ask for me to do anything, love." Edward prompted

"Can you not tell your family about everything I just told you. I don't really want everyone to know." I asked. He knew I referring to my experience in Phoenix, that I just told him about.

"Sure, love. But you know my family will never judge you."

"I know, but, I can't take it all at once, with everyone knowing. Those pity stares and those looks like they think they need to apologize. I can't take it!" I ranted. God, it felt so good to tell this to someone. But it felt especially good to talk to Edward.

"Okay, Bella. It's up to you. You're calling the shots on this one."

"Thank you."

"Anything you need, you can come to me. I love you more than you'll ever know."

"Me too." I sighed in happiness

Edward laughed. "What do you want to do now, love?"

"Just lay here."

"Okay" Edward whispered. He pulled us back to lay down on the bed.

Edward was so much better to me than I deserved. The way he treated me, well it was hard to believe he was really real. Or it would be if I weren't lying on top of him. We laid there for a few more minutes.

"Did you fall asleep?" Edward's question broke the silence.

"Nope." I said. "Do you want to watch a movie?" I asked

"Sure,"

"What do you want to watch?" As we sat up.

"Anything you do." Edward offered

"BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER!" I teased. I knew Edward's dislike for Buffy, thinking that it was ridiculous with its clichés of how to kill a vampire.

"Anything besides that" Edward groaned, as we walked down the stairs.

"Fine, The Notebook, it is." I said. Edward rolled his eyes.

"I thought you like classics, not the Hollywood's 2004 chick flicks." Edward teased. Did he just say chick flicks? I had only heard the phrase from Emmett. Hearing it out of Edward's mouth caught me off guard. I giggled.

"Wait!" I said suddenly.

"What?"

"Are my eyes all puffy?"

"No, not anymore." My worried expression didn't falter. He took my face into his hands and kissed my eyelids. "You're perfect."

We continued down the stairs. I glanced at the clock, it read 5:47. Where had the day go? I guess I slept through most of it. I left school early. I wonder what I missed? That reminded me. "Edward" I said as he made his way to the couch while I was putting the DVD. "What did I miss after I ran out of school today?"

"The bio test"

"Damn!"

"Don't worry. I told Mr. Banner you were sick and asked him if you could make it up Monday. He said yes and he hopes you'd be feeling better."

"Thanks." I said as I put in the Notebook. The commercials started playing across the screen. I walked over to the couch and plopped down on Edward's lap. He wrapped his arms around my waist. As the main menu came up I took the DVD remote and pressed enter on the play button on the screen. Edward put his mouth right at my neck and inhaled a big gush.

"Ah, you smell so good right now." Edward said

"As opposed to?" I teased

"You always smell wonderful, love. I just mean, you smell good right now because I haven't hunted for a while." Edward explained

"Oh." I got his hint. "I could move to the other side of the couch." I offered unwillingly.

"Nonsense." Edward disagreed. "I'm in perfect control of my nature right now. I was just trying to tell you I need to go hunting this weekend." He replied

"Edward, it's Friday." I reminded him

"I know. I'm leaving tonight and I'll be back Monday at 7:00 sharp."

"7:00? At night?" I asked

"No silly. The daytime." He laughed

"Well, I guess that's a little better" I pouted

"Angel" Edward groaned. "I'm staying late hunting, so I can not go for another 3 weeks unless I have to. You know how much it kills me to be away from you."

"I know." I was still pouting

He laughed at my expression. "I'm going to miss you, Bella." Edward said as he kissed the tip of my nose, trailing kisses up to my forehead, then down to my left cheek and then acrossed my chin and up my right cheek, all the way over to my ear. "I love you," he said

"I love you too." I whispered. I pressed my lips to his. He pulled away after 7 seconds. He tucked my head under his chin but I could tell he was rolling his eyes and smiling at my eagerness.

"Hey by the way, Alice wanted to know, do you want to spend the night at my house with Alice and Esme? Me and the boys are leaving tonight."

"Is Rosalie going to be there?"

"…Yes, but she'll be good." Edward said after a minute.

"Fine, but don't send Alice to come pack my stuff up." I warned

"Well, I can't promise anything but I'll tell her not to." He chuckled

"What time to do you leave?" I asked unwilling to talk about him leaving me.

"8:00"

"So soon" I pouted again. Edward just rubbed my arm soothingly.

After that Edward and I watched the movie quietly. He laughed how I cried at the end. He found it amusing to him how I got so in to the movies. I felt the urge to nudge him but I'd only end up giving myself a bruise. Edward also asked me questions during the movie.

"You never told me why Nate called you Princess?" Edward had asked suddenly during the first 15 minutes

"Because my friends and me made up the nicknames when we were five, and I guess they kind of stuck." I replied

"Oh" He left it at.

2 minutes later

"Was Nate there throughout the whole pregnancy?"

"Yep." I said shortly

"Were all your friends?" Edward asked

"The really good ones. Some were until I started showing and some were forced to change classes by of their parents, so they wouldn't be in classes with the pregnant girl." I explained

"I'm so very sorry" Edward apologized

"Don't be. They didn't matter," I soothed him.

5 minutes later

"Why didn't you tell Charlie?'

"Because I didn't see him enough, so I didn't know how." That was a partial truth, but I didn't really want to explain to Edward why I didn't really tell him. It was too hard for people who had known me my whole life to understand let alone someone who has only known me for 1 and a half years. Not that edward is just anyone but still, the point remains.

Of course there were some questions I chose not to answer though.

Edward asked at one point. "Why did you sound angry when you spoke of Renee?" I remained silent.

15 minutes later

"Who is Starr?" how did he know that?

"Taylor's nickname" I responded blankly

"Who's Taylor?" Edward asked again. I didn't respond.

He moved me off his lap and to the sofa cushion next to him at 7:20. One minute later Charlie walked in.

Charlie took a look at the end credits that were now playing across the screen. "Huh, The Notebook. Tough break Edward." Charlie teased. He didn't like romances.

I felt Edward chuckle next to me. This time I did nudge him. I resisted the urge to say ow. I'd have to remember not to nudge him so hard next time.

"So Bella," Charlie made a point purposely in excluding Edward. "I see you haven't started dinner yet-"

"I'll get right on it, dad" I interrupted, standing up.

"No, well actually, I'm glad. You see Mark and Jeff and some other police officers offered to take me out to dinner. So I figured that I'd go." Charlie explained. "And Alice called me while I was at work. She asked if you could spend the night because the boys were going to be gone and I figured you would like that, right?"

"Yeah dad. I'll go over there later."

"Okay kid. I'll see you later" Charlie said as I walked over to him. He kissed my cheek

"I love you," I said

"Love you too."

After Charlie left I turned to Edward. "How much longer before you have to go?" I asked

"I should be at my house in 20 minutes. Do you want me to give you ride?" He asked

"No I think I'll come over later. Ask Alice when I'm coming over." As soon as I said the words my phone rang. My call ID said Alice.

"Hello?" I said into the phone

"I don't know when you're coming over because you haven't made your mind up yet." Alice said

"Okay, I'll be over at 9:30 okay?"

"Why so late?" Alice whined

"Because I want to take my time."

"Fine but then I get to give you a manicure."

Edward laughed out loud. I threw a couch pillow at him, which he swiftly dodged.

I groaned. "Alice, I hate playing Bella Barbie."

"Oh my god!" Alice said at a really fast human speed, probably so I could understand her. "That's a great name for the game, Bella. I love it! Bella Barbie. You're a genius!" She was obviously excited.

"Does a genius get out of playing?" I asked hopefully

"Nope, see you at nine-thirty." She hung up.

I went back over to the couch. Edward and me talked for a while about nothing in particular. When 7:40 came around, he had to leave.

"I love you," he cooed

"I love you more" He pecked my lip but I didn't let him go so easy.

I pulled him closer and he got into it. I didn't really expect this reaction. Most of the time he's so guarded. I led him to the kitchen and he picked me up and put me on the counter so he didn't have to bend. We made out for a couple more minutes. Occasionally he'd pull away and start kissing my neck so I could breathe. Finally he pulled away and pecked my lip one more time.

"I really have to leave now." His breathing was unnecessarily uneven. He rested his forehead against mine for a second. He pecked his lips to mine one last time and then he kissed my forehead and with that he left.

I sat on the counter for a while catching my breath. What a hectic day it had been. I had seen my ex, relived some of my past, told my boyfriend the truth, managed to watch an hour and an half movie and now was going to vampires' house. But that was my life. The life I loved.

Just then I heard a knock on the door. Then another knock. The 3 more back to back. Then someone rang the doorbell 3 times continuously. I was getting annoyed. I purposely I walked down the hall slowly and went to the front door. I opened it and there on my porch stood… of all people I could have seen, it was the one I rather not of. Nate.

AN: Cliffy much. I like to leave people hanging incase you haven't noticed. LOL. Don't hate me for it. If you're confused about the whole Taylor thing, I'll explain in later chapters. And The Notebook thing kind of had a reason behind it. I partially base Bella and Nate's relationship off of Allie and Noah. Like they always fight and everything. Also if you've seen The Sercret Life of the American Teenager, I based a couple things off of Ricky and Adrian too. But I didn't copy, I made it my own, I just got the ideas from them. Anyway, I think I'll update in a few days but not tomorrow. I need time to write a decent chapter. I need 10 reviews for this chapter for me to update though so review, review, review. I know I'm getting really greedy. LOL.
