Chapter 7

"Bella?" A musical voice said softly. I looked up. Edward Cullen was sitting across from me.

"I think we need to talk." Said Edward softly.

Bella's POV

All the color drained from my face.

I nodded, too embarrassed to talk.

"Bella… I know that I was a jerk, no, a complete ass hole, in high school. I got way to into it, and I'm sorry." Edward looked at me with his beautiful green eyes, waiting for an answer.

"Sorry doesn't fix anything." I whispered, upset.

"I know, and I will try my hardest to build up your trust for me. Friends?" Edward asked, sticking out his perfectly sculpted hand.

"Friends." I said, giving him a weak smile.

"For now…" Edward muttered to himself, think that I wouldn't hear.

I stood up on my good leg abruptly, and slapped him. Edward touched his cheek in shock.

"Same old Edward. I thought you changed for a second. I was wrong." I hissed, grabbing my crutches and pushing out the door.

"Bella! Wait!" Edward screamed, trying to get through the crowd.

I went as fast as I could on my crutches to the ladies room, with Edward on my tail. I slammed the door behind me, and sat down on a chair.

"Bella. You can't sit in there forever. I'm not leaving until you come out." Edward said from the other side of the bathroom door.

I grumbled, and Edward sighed.

For two hours this went on. The bathroom was crowded with women, and the ones who had seen me sitting there more the twice gave me weird looks. I don't give a fuck. One woman actually came up to me, after seeing me sitting there at least 3 times. I gave her the finger before she had a chance to open her mouth.

The door banged open as the second hour went by. I turned my head to the side to Edward.

Some women screamed, while some were happy to see such a gorgeous man in the bathroom.

He is not gorgeous. I screamed in my head.

Edward grabbed me by the waist and threw me over his shoulder, careful about my leg this time. He picked up my crutches in his other hand.

"EDWARD CULLEN. PUT ME DOWN RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!" I screamed, beating at his back with my fists. Edward just chuckled, and gently put me down on a bench, and leaned my crutches up next to me.

He got down on his knees, and took my hands in his.

I looked down at my lap.

"Bella. Look at me." Edward said softly, as he pulled my chin up with his pointer finger. A shock went through my body from where he touched me, and I yearned for the feel of him on me again.

I crossed my arms, and pouted.

"You can't ignore me forever." He whispered.

"Why do you always do that? We were having a nice conversation when you had to go and cross the lines. I was actually thinking about becoming friends with you again, but you keep on doing this! Edward! Please!" I gave Edward an exasperated looked, and crossed my arms again.

"Bella, I know. I'm a complete dick head, and I don't even deserve to be in your presence. But, please, give me another chance. I really think we can be good friends." Edward whispered fiercely, grabbing my hands in his.

I gave him a pleading look, and he let go.

"Bella, I'm truly sorry. This time I'm serious. Friends?" He whispered the last part softly. I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him.

Edward laughed into my hair.

"I'll be right back. I need to go to the bathroom." And I was left on the bench.

I sighed, and stood up leaning on one crutch. The other one fell onto the ground, and I tried to get it. I couldn't.

"Need some help?" I heard a deep voice say, and they picked up my crutch. I stood up, to find myself face to face with a pair of light brown eyes.

I took a step back, and took the crutch.

"Thanks. Hey, do I know you from somewhere? What's your name?" I asked casually.

"No problem. Yeah, I feel like I know you from somewhere. Oh, yeah! I'm in your French class! Bella, Bella Swan? I'm Andrew." He said, giving me a look over.

"Yeah! I'm Bella!" I said, looking at him. He was wearing black jeans, a black shirt, and black shoes. He had a scar on his face from his eyebrow to the middle of his cheek. He had a few tattoos on his right arm, and some on his neck.

He seemed weird. Perfect.

"When a boy comes back, he is just my friend." I whispered into his ear suggestively.

His smile seemed to go from ear to ear.

"Good." I raised my eyebrow, happy about his response.

"Umm… I mean…" I cut him off.

"It's ok. Shh." I whispered as Edward came over. He gave Andrew a disapproving look.

"Edward, this is Andrew. Andrew, Edward." I said, introducing them to each other.

"Let's go Bella." Edward growled, taking my hand.

"See you soon!" I pecked Andrew's cheek, and let Edward drag me off to the car.

"Do you like him?" Edward shot at me as soon as we pulled out of the mall.

"Yes." I responded simply, turning my head to look out the window, silently showing that the conversation was over.

Edward walked me to my room.

"See you tomorrow?" Edward asked hop fully.

"Yeah." I responded, giving Edward a hug.

I went into my room, and closed the door. I was really glad that we were ok now. It felt nice to have him as a friend again.

Alice and Rose weren't here.

I wonder why…

Yay! Did you like it? I hope you did
