Edward POV
A few days had passed since the meal. Me and Bella were becoming closer and closer. I smiled to myself as I sat watching re-runs of the Family Guy. It was the episode when Peter is obsessed with Bird is the Word - instant classic. I was laughing to myself when Bella came down the stairs from reading.
"What's so funny?" She asked whilst walking over to me. I pointed at the screen.
"Peter Griffin is my hero." I said laughing again. She smiled at me then sat down.
"I used to watch Family Guy with my Dad." She whispered looking at her hands. I instantly felt guilty, I reached for the remote and turned the TV off.
"Do you miss him?" She nodded slowly.
"Sometimes." I instantly felt evil for making her stay here. Then an idea came to me.
"Why don't you go and see him?" I asked her, she began to shake her head.
"I can't. He thinks I'm at my cousin Rose's, if I come home he wont let me come back here." She answered. I walked over and awkwardly pulled her into a hug.
"I'm Sorry Bella." I whispered rocking her. She pulled away and smiled.
"Thanks." I had to get her out of this mood, she looked so miserable. I glanced around the room, my eyes resting on my Guitar Hero guitar.
"Hey, you wanna play Guitar Hero?" I asked her trying to sound enthusiastic. She jumped off of the sofa.
"Oh my god you have Guitar Hero? Why didn't you tell me! I'm amazing at guitar hero!." She squealed before blushing. I laughed happy to see her in a better mood. I retrieved the guitars and put in the game.
"Well, game on." I said as the opening notes of Muse's plug in baby began to play.
I plonked down on the sofa in defeat as Bella did another victory dance. I smiled at her, she was adorable when she did this.
"I WI-I-I-NNNNN!" I pretended to scowl at her. She laughed out loud at me which broke my scowl into a smile.
"Yeah yeah your better than me get over it already!" I joked happy to see she was back to normal. She jumped onto the sofa next to me.
"Come on Robby don't be a sore loser," she teased. She stood up and headed to the kitchen. "Find something to watch on the TV, I'll make us a sandwich." I quickly picked up the remote and flicked onto the comedy channel.
BELLA POV
I smiled as I prepared the ham and cheese sandwiches. Today had been fun, it was really sweet of Rob to cheer me up like that. My smile faded as a thought I had had earlier today came back to me. I was desperate to go back to school, it was killing me missing all this work, catching up is going to take me ages. I had been trying to pluck up the courage to ask Rob all day. Truth is, I was scared he'd say no, I couldn't handle another argument. I sighed as I cut the sandwiches in half and put them on plates.
"Get a hold of yourself Bella." I whispered. This was it, I was going to ask him. I picked up the sandwiches, pushing the kitchen door open with my bum. Rob took the sandwich off me.
"Thanks Bella." he said smiling, then he took a bite. I watched him as he ate the sandwich. He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye as he became aware of this. "What? Do I have something on my face?" he asked wiping his mouth. I laughed at him.
"No I erm- doesn't matter," I said quickly biting some more sandwich. He stopped chewing waiting for me to continue. I sighed and swallowed loudly. "Fine, I wanted to ask you something." I whispered. He put down his plate and turned to face me.
"Go on." he smiled encouragingly.
"Ok."
EDWARD POV
"Ok."
What could she want to ask me so badly? She look…scared. I began to feel nervous for her.
"I-Can-I want to go back to school." she shouted quickly blushing a deep red. This outburst shocked me, I was expecting something far worse. I sighed in relief.
"And you were scared to ask me this why?" I whispered watching for her reaction.
"I wasn't scared." She replied. I smiled at her.
"It's okay, don't lie to me. I just wanted to know why you were scared to ask me? Did you think I'd say no? hurt you?" I asked her worriedly. She looked at me in shock.
"No of course not! I don't think you could hurt me for a second your not like that! I was just worried you'd say no and we would end up arguing again." She spoke quickly looking at her hands.
"Bella look at me," I asked. I waiting til her big brown eyes met mine. " Of course you can go back to school, you didn't have to ask, silly." I said whilst pulling her into a hug. She put her arms around my waist.
"Well that's a relief. Thanks Rob. Can I start tomorrow?" She asked me with pleading eyes.
"Yeah sure." she pulled away and headed for the stairs.
"Night Rob, thanks again." She said happily then began to run up the stairs.
"Oh Bella?," I shouted. She froze halfway up the stairs and turned to me. I smiled at her warmly. "Don't ever be afraid to tell or ask me anything again." A smile broke across her face.
"I won't from now on promise. Night see you tomorrow." Then she went into her bedroom.
"Night Bella." I whispered before returning to the TV.
