Hellooo. :D So, I just thought I'd let you know that I changed a bit of the first few chapters. I just added song lyrics to the end, cause I had a bunch of songs that tied in with this story, more some than others. So, if you wanna listen to some of the songs, they really go with the chapters. :D

(Edwards P.O.V)

I walked into my room and sat down on my bed with a sigh. I didn't know what to do, Bella and I so obviously had a connection, I'm sure she had realized it too. Someone from miles away could have felt it, it was just that strong. It killed me to have to be so awful to her, I didn't want to do it anymore, but I didn't feel like I had a choice. Sometimes it felt easier, knowing she hated me for something I was intentionally doing. She hated me because I was mean to her, well maybe it also had to do with the mishap that happened last year. The thought of that made me shudder. I didn't even want to think about what I had done to her.

We had been the best of friends, thinking nothing could tear us apart. Even people at school, and other family friends believed that nothing could tear us apart. We were always so close, we could tell each other absolutely everything, and that we did. I still remembered the day we had met, it was in first grade. Her and Mr. Swan had moved here that year, and my parents urged me to befriend her, at the time I didn't have many friends. Which wasn't very different from now, now that I had thought about it. Anyways, we were on the playground and - of course - she fell, she had always been clumsy, and I doubted that would be something that she would grow out of. She was crying and I went to help her, she thought I was some sort of super hero or something, she swore to me that we would be best friends from then on. See how well that turned out.

I couldn't blame her for hating me, it was my fault. I shouldn't have pressured her into anything, I was a hormonal stupid teenage boy and I deserved every ounce of pain she had caused me. Then I realized, just because I deserved the pain, didn't mean she did. I was insulting her and yelling at her, and even if she acted like it didn't phase her I knew for a fact that it had. I wished more than anything that I wasn't such a coward. Being nice to her left me vulnerable, she would be able to hurt me if I didn't have my guard up. Didn't I at least owe her enough to just be nicer to her? I didn't have to tell her that I was in love with her, but I didn't have to make her feel like I hated her either. I had made up my mind, from now on, no matter how cruel she was to me I would never insult her again. She deserved my kindness, she did nothing wrong. Maybe she bruised my ego a bit, but that was nothing compared to what I had done to her.

Starting tomorrow I was going to be a new Edward, a nice, kind, charming Edward. Even if she still hated me, it couldn't hurt... Right? I went to sleep with thoughts of what the next day would bring, seemingly seconds later I woke up to someone pounding on my door and yelling at me to wake up. I checked the clock and it was already 7:30. Shit! I forgot to set my alarm. Nice going, Edward.

As quickly as possible I threw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I threw open my door and charged out of my room, only to run into someone again. Bella. This was a perfect time to practice being nice.

"I'm sorry Bella! I didn't see you there, I was just running late and..." I said, trailing off at the end not knowing what to say. She looked shocked to say the least.

"No, its fine..?" She said, almost making it sound like a question. I smiled at her and walked past her towards the kitchen. Maybe this would work out wonderfully, maybe we could go back to being friends again. I sighed and then stopped that train of thought, I didn't need to get my hopes up. She could have just been shocked about me being nice to her, I needed to see how things went before I had anymore wishful thoughts. Before I knew it we were on our way to school and I grinned when I remembered that Bella and I had our first class together.

"Whats got you so happy Eddie boy?" Emmett asked in a taunting voice.

"Oh nothing, I just have a good feeling about today." I couldn't stop smiling, I just knew something good was going to happen. Bella gave me a strange look but she didn't say anything. We got to school and I could tell that people could tell that something was different about me, now that I was being nice to Bella I had no reason to be bitter, or act like it. Bella and I walked to class in silence, I felt like I had to say something to let her know I had changed.

"You look nice today." When I realized what I said I groaned. Stupid! Think before you speak.

"Are you feeling alright? Maybe you're sick..." She said, obviously confused. I could understand why. I really wasn't helping myself any, she was probably convincing herself that I was insane.

"I'm fine." Why did I have to be so awkward? There was no way to be comfortable around me, I messed everything up! I was determined to make this work, no matter what it took.

We walked into the classroom together and sat down at our lab table, I could feel her staring at me and I smiled.

"So, I guess this is the first day neither of us hasn't been late..." I didn't know what else to say, I just wanted to say something.

"Yeah, you should walk me to class more often. Mike totally avoided me." She said with a satisfied smile.

"I would, if you really wanted me to."

"Why are you being so nice to me?" She said suddenly. She brought her hands up to cover her mouth, like she hadn't wanted to ask that. I was hoping she wouldn't ask.

"Well, I figured that since you're going to be here for a while I might as well be nice." That was the first excuse I thought of, and it was somewhat true.

"Oh, well thanks then." She said, seeming to buy it.

Our conversation was cut short when the teacher started talking, I sighed and leaned back in my chair. I really wanted to keep talking to her. I ripped a piece of paper out of my notebook and wrote on it.

Hey -E

I passed it to her and she smiled, shaking her head.

What are we, in second grade? :) -B

I smiled, all of the sudden we were being nice to each other. Maybe we really could be friends again.

No, just not allowed to talk. -E

Who says? -B

The dude at the board thats teaching us about stuff we will never use in our real lives. -E

Oh, him. Darn. -B

You should fake an illness, then we could get out of here. :) -E

No way, I'm a bad actress. -B

C'mon, it'll be easy. Just say you feel sick, I'll take you to the "nurse". :) -E

Fine, but if we get caught, I'm so blaming you. -B

Fine with me. :) -E

Bella suddenly stopped smiling and sighed as she raised her hand.

"Yes, Ms. Swan?" Mr. Banner said, his hand frozen over the white board where he was writing something about cells.

"I'm not feeling very well, would you mind if I go to the nurse?" She asked, actually looking sick.

"Yes, thats fine. Do you need someone to go with you?"

"I'll go with her." I said, smiling at Mikes shocked expression.

"Alright Cullen, bring her to the nurse, make sure shes alright, then come straight back here. Got it?" He asked with a stern expression.

"Yes sir." I said saluting him with a grin and helping Bella stand up. Bella and I walked to the door, with mike glaring at me the whole way. When we got outside of the classroom I noticed that Bella still looked sick.

"Are you alright?" I asked, suddenly concerned.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about blood, it makes me sick." She said, finally snapping out of it.

"Bella, you didn't really have to make yourself sick. You could have just acted like it."

"I told you I was a bad actress." She said, smiling.

"Are you sure you're fine?" I asked.

"Yes I'm sure. Now, lets get out of here." We both grinned and headed towards the door.

"So, where do you wanna go?" I asked, realizing I didn't have a plan.

"We could go back to your house? Just watch a bunch of movies?" She asked hesitantly.

"Perfect." I said smiling. I was glad that Esme wouldn't be home until late that night, that way we wouldn't get caught. We got into my car and Bella turned on the radio, we sat in silence on the way back to my house but it wasn't uncomfortable, just quiet. We got to my house fifteen minutes later and Bella plopped down on the couch, telling me that I had to pick out the movie. I picked one of those really stupid, but funny, movies. I showed it to her and she shook her head, grinning.

"Why am I not surprised?" She asked, still smiling. I just shrugged and put the movie in. For about half an hour we sat on opposite ends of the couch, finally she got tired and layed her head on the arm rest and rested her legs on top of mine. I smiled at the simple gesture, she had to at least like me as a friend, even though I wished she would like me as more.

(Bellas P.O.V)

I woke up to a door slamming, I opened my eyes and I was shocked. I was laying on Edwards chest, our legs were tangled together at the end of the couch, and his arms were wrapped around me. I was confused as to how that happened, and more so than that I was disappointed that I had to get up. He was so comfortable, and I wanted more than anything to lay there for just a few more minutes. But I knew what would happen if Emmett walked in and saw us like this, I quickly sat up waking Edward up in the process.

"Emmett." I said, when I noticed that he looked confused. After he realized what I said he quickly sat up and turned on the tv, I got up and walked into the kitchen to get myself a drink while Edward pretended to watch football. Emmett walked in with a grin on his face.

"Well hello there ditchers." He said, throwing his bookbag on the floor and walking into the kitchen.

"Hey Em." I said quietly.

"So, anything... interesting happen today?" Emmett said with a wink.

"Ew Emmett, no." I said, punching him on his arm and wincing when I heard my hand crack.

"Sorry, Just asking." He said laughing. I shook my head and walked towards my room, I really wanted to go sit beside Edward, but I knew if I did Emmett would say something.

It was weird how mine and Edward's relationship had changed in such a short period of time. It was like nothing bad had ever happened between us, like we were best friends again. Best friends didn't quite describe our relationship though, it was more than that. Whatever it was I liked it, I had missed the old Edward and it seemed like he was back. I just hoped that he was there to stay, I didn't know if I could take losing him again. As much as I hated to admit it to myself, I never really hated Edward. I wanted to, but I couldn't. No matter how much he insulted me I always liked him, and I doubted that would ever change.

"Stop right there, thats exactly where I lost it.

See that line? Well I never should have crossed it.

Stop right there, Well I never should have said that.

Its the very moment that I wish that I could take back."
