Bella's POV
I cleared things out with Emmett. He was too protective of me. He wanted me to be safe. To protect me from bad guys. But that's just it. He is defending me from the wrong devil.
"Hey Bella!" Called a velvet voice. I kept walking past, heading straight to Godzilla Emmett's Jeep. "Swan!" I heard that lovely voice. "Go away Cullen," I hissed as I sensed him walking behind me. "Attitude," He laughed. "Don't make me get Emmett," I said rolling my eyes. I still wasn't looking at the Greek God. And I wouldn't. Something about him makes me go all tingly and stupid-like. "Don't be like that Bella," He said, very kindly. "I cant," I said. "Why?" He asked, I sensed he was trying to hold the laughter back. "Im a natural bitch," I said, and this time he didn't try to contain the laughter.
"What is so fucken funny!" I said, stopping and daring to look at him. "Your cute when your mad," He winked at me. My heart momentarily fluttered like bird wings. "Ah," I said, looking like an idiot. "What do you want," I regained myself quickly. "I want to talk," He said, smiling. "Talk? Edward Cullen doesn't talk," I laughed at him now. "Edward Cullen lies, and makes out with every nice pair of breasts that passes by him!" I yelled. "Ouch," He said. "You really think Im that bad?" He asked, dropping that gorgeous smile. "I do," I said honestly. I know guys like you Edward.
I felt bad. "What do you want to tell me Edward?" I said to him. The parking lot was starting to clear out and Emmett was not visible. "Hurry," I said hastily. I didn't want my brother to come out and find us here. He took it bad earlier. "I wanted to say Im sorry" He said looking sincere. "Your apologizing?" I asked dumb-founded. "Yeah," He nodded. "I guess I was a Jerk for lying to you," He said, still serious. "Do you do that often?" I asked. "Please be honest," I added. "I like girls," He shrugged. "That's sick," I said, raising my eyebrow at him. Edward didn't respond. He just looked down at the floor. So I decided to speak my mind.
"You do know you've probably hurt, and broken most of Fork's girls hearts?" I said to him. He nodded. "Edward, you just cant treat girls like meaningless objects," I stated. "I know, it's just-" "Ha!" I laughed sarcastically. "You have an excuse for your slutiness?" I laughed. "Can I continue?" He said rather annoyed. "Sorry," I said.
"Come, this might take a while," He said. He took my hand. I felt electricity running, circling my body by his touch. I immediately jerked my hand away form his. He turned and looked at me. He eyes seemed to have express that he felt it too. "Please," He asked, extending his hand out once more. "O-okay," I said, I slowly grabbed a hold on his. It felt right. Like I was meant for him. Ah! I sound stupid.
He led me straight to the Silver Volvo I was leaning against during lunch. "Nice ride," I said touching the hood of the Volvo. "Thanks," He smirked. "Come," He opened the passenger seat. I hesitated. "Your not going to kidnap me right?" I asked, looking at him suspiciously. "No," He laughed. "Trust me," He said. His green eyes made my heart melt as he spoke. "Crazy enough," I began. "I do trust you," I said walking towards him. "I'm Glad," He said. He closed the door behind me. He quickly ran to his side of the car.
"So, continue Mr. Cullen," I smiled at him. He nodded once more. "It's not precisely an excuse for what I do.-Did." He amended. "Did?" I said amusingly. "Bella," He complained. "Sorry," I said. "Anyways, When I was a freshmen," He began his story. "I really liked a girl named Victoria," He smiled sadly. "She was an amazing girl. Very sweet, the best girlfriend a guy could ask for." He turned back looking out the window. "She was very attentive with me. We were always inseparable. In school that is."
"I never knew what she did out of school, she hardly ever wanted to go out after hours. At first I thought she was ashamed of me," How could that be possible? Look at him! "But that wasn't the case. If it was, she wouldn't let people see us at school. People started whispering Bella," He looked at me, his eyes full of pain. "What did they say?" I asked. "How she didn't feel that way I did. How I was a fool." He turned away again. "But I didn't believe. I couldn't believe Victoria did not feel the same way about me. I loved her. My first love. " He said. "It felt right."
"It went on for weeks; the whispers. One day Victoria didn't show up to school. Her friend Laurent told me she was sick, badly that she couldn't attend ." He laughed. "And as a good boyfriend, what does one do? You want to make them feel better. What a fool I was," he paused for a moment.
"I went to her house," His voice sounded raspy. "To take care of her, I loved her. I wanted her to get well. I let myself in, knowing Victoria's parents always leave a key under the doormat. I walked in and everything was silent. Not a noise….At first." "Continue," I added. "I quietly went up the stairs, to surprise her you know. But hell, I was the one in for the surprise." He laughed humorlessly. "I crept up to her room, and I heard a fit of giggles. I figured she was watching a movie or something. She's a big fan of comedies," "Uhuh," I said. "And when I got there, as I silently opened the door, I saw her. With him," He growled. "Who?" "James! He was her best friend you know, or at least that's what they pretended to be around me," He shook his head. "I was an idiot Bella! I basically threw her at James. I told him to take her home, the times I couldn't. Or to walk her to class when I was running late. I trusted him." "She cheated on you," I said quietly. Who would do that, to such a beautiful guy?
"You see Bella, after that I wasn't the same I no longer believed in love, or romance. It was all a lie to me. Girls were these blood thirsty monsters who pried on innocent guys, with good hearts, and rip them to pieces." Oh no! Why does this sound familiar? "I treated the girls the same way I was, like a pass time. Good for one thing, you know?" He turned to me. His amazing emerald eyes staring deeply into my plain brown.
I shook my head. "Who said all girls,- or guys,- I whispered to myself "are the same?" I asked. "Sure we make mistakes, and take people for granted," I sighed deeply. "But it doesn't mean you have the right to treat them like a piece of meat Edward, half of those girls actually believed you like them. Only to find out you don't, must be heart breaking," I said.
"Pretty idiotic of me huh?" He laughed. "A bit," I laughed.
"There's one more thing," He said quietly. "What?" I asked curiously. Edward wasn't half bad. Pretty decent guy. I get his point now. Not that it was acceptable. "You asked about Jasper," He said. I remembered the confrontation between them in the morning. "Yeah," I said. "Well there's a reason why he hates me," He said, looking ashamed.
"Don't interrupted okay?" He said. I nodded. "Well Jasper and I were best friends, before we met your brother. And when our families both came to Fork's we still were close. Like brothers. We eventually met Emmett, and the three of us were inseparable," I smiled at that thought of my brother. "Jasper fell for a girl named Maria. He was completely in love with her. It was insane how he followed her around, Well that's what I heard," He said. "I never met her….before. Only Alice had. No one else did. One day Rosalie and Emmett and I complained that we wanted to meet her," He laughed. "Big mistake!" He said loudly.
"He brought her over one day, to our house. The whole group was gathered for a movie night. Emmett and Rosalie, Alice and I, and eventually Jasper and Maria." He wasn't looking at me. I sensed he was feeling guilty about something. "They came over, and I was completely stunned by her. She was beautiful! Amazing looking girl, just wow! I saw why Jasper followed her like a dog. She was enchanting in a way."
"As the night continued, I couldn't stop staring at her, and she returned the looks. They were lustful ones. Eventually everyone fell asleep. Maria asked me if she could get a tour around the house, and sense I was the only one awake…." He paused. "I was showing her the rooms, and eventually we found ourselves in mine. There was lust in the air Bella. It was insanely hot. "
" I took advantage that everyone was asleep, and well we-we," "You what?" I asked, fearing where this was leading too. He looked at me. His eyes radiating guilt from his sockets. "You slept with her?!" I yelled, shocked. He nodded. "Your best friends girlfriend?!" I asked. "I didn't know what I was doing Bella! It was a heat of the moment thing!" "Your un believable! No wonder Jasper hates you!" I bust the door open.
I needed to be away from him, he was disgusting. "Bella!" He came after me. The parking lot was clear. No witnesses to this. "Bella! Wait!" He shouted. I tried walking as fast as possible. Naturally, I fell. "Get away from me Edward!" I said disgustingly. He tried helping me out. He tried grabbing my arms to help me out but I shoved them off. "Don't touch me!" I said trying to kick him. He pulled me off with his strength. Damn weak body. "Let me explain, please Bella," He begged. "No!" I said trying to loosen his grip on me. "How could you?!" I yelled. "Why are you getting so upset?!" He yelled. Loosing patience. Because! You remind me of me! Because Im exactly the same filth as you are! I cant believe I like him!
"Edward, let go," I pleaded. The tears were coming. "Cullen!" Came the voice I wanted to hear. Edward grunted loudly. He let go off my arms. "What?!" The angel shouted. "What the hell do you think your doing?" Jasper said, running towards me. He pulled me into a tight hug. My face was covered in his chest. "Go away Jazz, I need to explain to her-" "You don't need to explain anything!" I said from Jaspers chest. "Bella," Edward sighed. "It was a mistake, she wasn't-" "She wasn't your girlfriend!" I said, ripping away from Jasper. "I know that," He hissed. "Jasper didn't deserve it," I said softly. The blue eyed blonde went stiff. I grabbed his hand. Looking deep in his eyes. "Im sorry," I told him.
"Well," He began to speak. "Now you know why I hate the enchanting Edward Cullen," He said grimly. "You better leave Edward," I said looking back at him. My angel, looked broken. His eyes pained. I fought the urge of running to him. It was only a couple of days, but I couldn't help my feelings. The rhythm my heart beat for him. "Go," I choked.
I saw the Greek god walk away. Sulking with every step.
