A/N: I know it has been two years. But with school and summer school. There is never time. I realized I still have unfinished stories. This is the first one i decided that I was able to update. So here you go. R/R :D

Chapter Eight:

Confused

Edward's POV

I kept dragging Bella with me away from Ashley. I didn't want to face Ashley in front of Bella, I just didn't want to face her at all. The nerves she has to even talk to me after what she did to me.

"Edward!" Bella yelled and escaped my arm. She stopped right in front of me so she could have my attention. She placed her hands on my chest. "What happened back there?" She asked confused. I grabbed her hands and took a deep breath. For now all I could do was give her a little of the truth.

"I know Ashley…from my last school." She stared at me waiting for more. I began telling her more with reluctance, "She was my girlfriend before." Bella's mouth opened a little with shock.

"Oh," was all she could say and her hands felt limp in mine. "I have to go." She said as she pulled away. I tried to grab her arm but she was too fast for me. I saw her back disappear into the crowd of students.

Bella's POV

She was his GIRLFRIEND? And now of course he wants her back. No wonder he kept staring at her. I knew there was something I didn't like about her. But why would he rush away from her? Maybe embarrassed to be seen with me I guess. I don't know…

"Bella?" I looked up to see Emmett waving his hand in front of my face. I looked around to notice I had walked outside of school and had been sitting at a bench.

"Huh? Oh Emmett..yeah?"

"What's wrong, why aren't you inside in the cafeteria?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Nothing. Don't worry brother I'm all right I just needed fresh air." I gave him the best smile I could. " I need to go to the restroom I will see you later inside." I waved to him and rushed to the bathroom so I could be alone with my thoughts.

Sitting in the bathroom stall, I realized I was hungry. It was lunch, and I didn't even get food. I know I couldn't let myself starve so I decided I should go face them.

I washed my hands and re-tied my hair. I walked out of the bathroom just as the same time as Ashley had walked in.

"Oh I am so sorry!" Ashley said as she stepped back. I tried not to glare at her.

"It's okay, I'm fine." I was about to just walk right past her but she attempted to start conversation again.

"Bella right?" I nodded, "you were with Edward earlier right?" I nodded again. "Are you guys dating?" I raised my eyebrows. What was she getting at.

"What if we are?" I pressed.

"Oh, haha, nothing I was just wondering." She faked smiled at me.

"Well we are not." I said as I glanced away from her starting to leave again.

"That's a shame…for you. Not for me." She walked away into the bathroom having the door close in my face. I was speechless.

There is no way she is going to go after Edward again. I couldn't let it happen. But what if Edward does like her too? He can't, he likes me, unless he is trying not to?

Ugh

This is so confusing. I need to find Edward…and get food.

Edward's POV

"Edward what's wrong? Where did Bella go?" Jasper asked me with Alice by his side.

"I don't know she just said she had to go, I was going to go after her till you guys showed up." Jasper nodded and just shrugged.
"Maybe she needed fresh air?" Alice asked. My sister was worried about Bella; she was telling me earlier how they haven't had time to talk together.

"Could be, well lets get lunch maybe she will join us when she is ready." Jasper said and he led Alice with him and I followed.

I don't know if I should tell the guys what happened, or maybe I should just tell Jasper since I told him about the kiss already.

"Jasper," I tapped his shoulder. He nodded to Alice for her to go as he turned around to fall in step with me.

"What's wrong?" He looked at me as we both stopped in the hall to talk.

"Bella stormed off when I told her Ashley was my girlfriend before. But I don't know why. I mean she was my ex-girlfriend. There shouldn't be anything wrong right?" I looked at him hoping he would have some insightful advice.

"Well I don't know Edward, I mean girls always get jealous of ex's because they always believe that their man will go back to them. Maybe Bella is jealous that you will chose Ashley over her?"

"That's not going to happen though!" I practically yelled with frustration from the thought of me going out with Ashley again.

"But she doesn't know that, you need to talk to Bella when you see her. And right away." I nodded in agreement and we both headed towards the cafeteria.

"Thanks Jasper" I patted his shoulder.

"No problem, that is what friends are for." He hit my back.

As we neared the lunch line I searched for Bella. She was no where to be found. I glanced at our table and I noticed that Emmett had just joined the table looking worried. He probably had seen Bella. After getting food with Jasper we headed towards our table.

"Emmett have you seen Bella?" I asked hoping he had.

"Yeah but she seemed out of it, I don't know what is wrong. I was following her when I saw she wasn't headed toward the cafeteria and she ended up walking outside. I got her attention and she said she had to go to the bathroom. I don't know though. It was weird. My twin senses are telling me she needs someone to talk things out with." He glanced at Alice.

"I've been wanting to talk to her all morning! But she kept avoiding it. When I first see her I will talk to her don't worry Emmett."

"No wait Alice let me talk to her first?" I told Alice. She looked at me questionably.

"Um…I would but I told her we would talk. So you can talk to her after I'm done. Kay brother?" I let out a sigh and just nodded. Where is Bella?

A/N Thats all for now. I will see what else I could do. I made this up all on the spot. Hope you enjoyed it...at least a lil bit.

Much love,
