Hey! I'm back. So sorry for not updating soon. I had school and life. It doesn't seem like much but trust me I was super busy.

Chapter 8

"Hurry up," I urged Jake.

"Shut up and wait," he growled back, pressing down harder on the gas pedal.

We were about 10 minutes away from the Cullens and I was getting anxious with each passing second.

I could sms him, right? I grabbed my phone out and texted him. The message didn't go through.

"Shit! I don't have airtime!" I wailed.

"We're here. Run," Jake said.

I opened the door and started running. I bumped into someone. Several someones, in fact.

"Bella, where were you?" Alice asked.

"Edward is going crazy," Jasper added.

"Where is he?" I asked, breathlessly.

They gestured to the back yard. I ran past them, gasping for breath. I spotted Edward, standing with Tara. That sight changed everything. He loved her. Was I really willing to risk that for my own selfishness?

As I watched, Tara's mouth fell slack. She shook her head. Her gaze fell on me and she stiffened. She glared at me and said something to Edward. He turned and smiled at me. I felt my heartbeat quicken.

I walked towards him, trying not to run like in those cheesy movies.

"Bella," he breathed out when I reached him. "Where were you?"

The words slipped out before I could stop them. "I wasn't going to come. Tara told me not too. She's been visiting me and telling me that I should stay away from you."

"What? Why?" He turned to Tara.

She laughed humorlessly. "I knew you were in love with her, Edward. It wouldn't have been long before we broke up. I was right, wasn't I?"

I saw Jake approaching. He walked to us and stared at Tara. I introduced everyone quickly. Jake still stared at Tara.

"Tanya? You're Edward's girlfriend?"

Who's Tanya?

Tara turned to Jake, her eyes wide. "Jacob."

"You guys know each other?" I asked.

Jake's face twisted in a scowl."Yes, actually. I've been seeing her for the past week."

Edward's jaw tightened. "What do you mean?"

"Dating," was Jake's short response.

I looked at him expectantly. He paid no attention to me, solely focused on Tara.

"Care to explain?" I asked Tara.

She rolled her eyes. "Well, it's all over anyway. I was using Edward because the Cullens are rich. Jacob was just a past-time for when Edward was busy with you," she spat out the last word.

"Leave. Now," Edward said to her.

Tanya/Tara glared at me before turning on her heels and marching away.

"Hey, man. I'm sorry. I didn't know," Jake said to Edward.

"It's fine. I guess we never really were that great as a couple anyway."

"I should get going. It's been good meeting you."

"Same here," Edward smiled.

We stood in silence.

"So...uh..." I struggled to think of how I could break the silence.

"Bella, I love you."

I looked up at him.

"What?"

"I love you," he repeated. "Always have, always will. I was stupid. I don't know what I was doing with Tara."

"Passing time?" I smiled at him. "I love you too."

I reached up and kissed him. It might have taken a while but finally Edward realised who he really belonged with.

OK, so I HATE MYSELF, THIS STORY AND THIS CHAPTER. AND I HATE MY LIFE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? THIS IS THE BEST I COULD DO.

SO THE BIG QUESTION:

REWRITE THE STORY?

ADD ANOTHER CHAPTER?

ADD A SEQUEL?

LEAVE IT AS IT IS, YOU'RE A STUPID TERRIBLE WRITER?

I'm with the last option. No reviews are greatly appreciated-Seriously, I don't want to have to think about this story.

Thanks for reading and for all the reviews you guys sent me even though I am a sucky writer.
