she could've laid in bed for hours
giving misery the power
but she didn't have time
she got a sitter,and she got a job
'cause she had a promise to keep
"Hey Edward," I said as I walked by him on Thursday afternoon.
"Hey," he said and went on his way. Ever sicne I had told him about Sarah he had been cold towards me and that had been two weeks ago; either way, we got 96 on the
project so it was win win situation. But still, something about him not talking to me bothered me.
"Hey, Bella, can I talk to you?" Dr. Ward asked walking up to me as I was getting in my car.
"Yes, sir, what's the problem?"
"Well, Edward asked to switch partners."
"He-he what?"
"Yes, I thought it was a bit peculiar as well," Dr. War said and took our our class seating chart, "his new partner is Tanya and yours is Kelley."
"Did he say why?"
"No, just thought I'd let you know. Have a good day!" With that said he walked away leaving me in a stupor. Just like that Edward wanted a new partner all because of
Sarah. I climbed in my car and headed home; he'd gone and done it, crept in and like a worm got under my skin.
"MOMMA!" My angel yelled as I walked through the door.
"Hey baby, hungry?" she nodded and grabbed my hand to lead me to the kitchen, as if I didn't know where it was, where my dad was sitting, "hey daddy!"
"Bells, sit down." Just like that I felt like I was back in high school about to be scolded. "Sarah, show momma what I taught you." She climbed on my lap and smiled.
"You is kind, you is smart, you is important!" I recognized the quote from The Help.
"Dad, did you watch The Help again?' It happened to be his favorite movie.
"NO!" I laughed and put Sarah on the ground; I had just gotten some chicken out to cook when someone knocked on the back door and Sarah, being Sarah, ran to open
it.
"Who are you?" Sarah asked her voice full of curiousity. I ran over and gasped when I saw who it was. Edward.
"What do you want?"
"Can I talk to you out here?" I walked out and shut the door behind me.
"What?" I asked and he sighed.
"I'm sorry I asked to switch partners."
"Why did you?"
"I don't know!" He said running his hand through his hair; he was clearly frustrated.
"Look, we're no longer partners so we need to stay away from each other." I said and turned to go in but he grabbed my hand which pulled me towards him but we were
closer than he thought and our lips ended up colliding; I wrapped my arms around his neck as our kiss deepend. I opened my eyes and realized what was happening so I
broke away and ran back into the house.
"Bella?" My dad asked as I ran up the stairs with tears streaming down my face. This wasn't happening! I couldn't feel anything for him; I just couldn't. I promised myself I
would never love again. But was that fair to Sarah to not have a father figure in her life?
A/N: So one question: What happened to all the readers who said they would be here when I got back? I got 2 reviews on the last chapter. Please review or I might stop writing all together.
