Chapter 10: Please Forgive Me

EPOV
"Bella, it's not what it looks like."
I pushed Rose out of the way and started to walk towards Bella.
"Don't you come any closer." She said through tears.
"Please Bella, I came here to ask Rosalie what happened and where you had gone and she went for me."
I wasn't technically lying. She had come for me and I had tried to back off but the damn wall go in my way.
"Oh yeah that's what it looked like. Oh by the way, I knew about when you two went out. Rose couldn't stop talking about it when we first became friends, and I tried to ignore it but it looks like me and Emmett were just there so you two could get back together. I don't even want to look at you again."
She turned around and headed straight out the door and I did the thing everyone does and it always turns out badly. I went after her.
I ran out the room and down the corridor trying to keep up with her. I may be the hottest guy in school but I'm not the quickest. And damn Bella was fast.
"Bella, wait, let me explain." I called after her.
I pushed past the people watching the early TV in the lounge and headed out the door into the bright morning.
"GO AWAY EDWARD." Bella screamed.
She had stopped running now and was power walking to a black jeep.
"Please Bella, can't I just explain."
She stopped about 10yards away from the jeep and turned around.
"Fine then explain." She crossed her arms and glared at me.
Before I started the window of the jeep went down and I woman stuck her head out of it.
"¿Estás listo Bella?" The woman shouted from the car.
"¿Puedo disponer de veinte minutos a solas con Edward?"
Bella replied in fluent Spanish.
After Bella replied the back window rolled down and a boy about 12 years old looked out.
"Bella tiene un novio, Bella tiene un novio."
The boy chanted laughing and clapping. I knew enough Spanish to realise he was saying 'Bella's got a boyfriend' and I knew from my talks with Bella that was Rodrigo, her younger brother.
Bella was about to reply but I cut in.
"Shall we go for a walk?" I whispered in her ear.
She looked at me with teary eyes then back to the car and the woman inside who I presumed by now was her mother.
"Voy a dar un paseo, voy a cumplir de nuevo en casa."
Bella said before starting to walk past me. I turned around and walked with her down the path to the lake.
"I never knew you spoke fluent Spanish."
I tried to start a conversation NOT about Rose.
"Yeah. A lot of my family is from Spain and my mother is Spanish so I sort of picked up on it when I was growing up."
She never made eye contact with me all the way to the lake. She just kept looking down and every so often she looked ahead. After about 8minutes of walking she stopped and started the conversation that we came to talk about.
"Is it true that Rose went for you?"
"Of course it is, I would never go for her ever again after what she did to me. And I have you, what more could I want."
She looked into my eyes and I could see tears filling hers. Is there a limit to how many times you can cry? Obviously not.
"Do you promise never to lie to me?" She said looking down at the floor again.
"Of course I promise, look Bella I will do anything for you."
"Do you promise you will never look at Rose like you look at me?"
"Yes I promise." I lifted her head up and cupped her cheek.
"I si vous avez encore jamais vu, mon monde serait"
I was about to lean in and kiss her but she beat me to it. She threw her arms around my neck and planted a kiss on my lips then changed into a hug. I wrapped my arms round her waist and held her there for as long as I could. After a while she let go of me and pulled her phone out her pocket and started texting.
"What are you doing?" I asked trying to peek at the text.
"I'm telling my mum I'm staying here."
"Where were you going to go?"
"Spain, but…" She started to say while she put her phone away and locked her hands in mine.
"I have something to stay for now." She gave me a big smile and I returned it.
We started up the path again like none of this about Rose had ever happened. It was a Saturday so we didn't have any lessons just time to hang out and go shopping (Ugh!)
We reached the boys dorms first because they were closer and there was a big poster stuck on the door say 'Fun fair. In town for one night only.'
"Do you want to go?" I asked Bella who was still looking at the poster.
"Yeah, it would be like our first date." She said looking up at me smiling.
"Except I bet the guys will want to go as well." I said smirking but she didn't find it funny.
"I bet Rose would love to go if you go." She mumbled sarcastically.
"Yeah well, she will have to want." I said opening the door for her.
When we got inside we walked through the lounge saying 'hi' to everyone and walked down the corridor to my room. The door was locked so I suspected no-one would be in there. I got my keys out and started to unlock the door but Bella stopped me.
"What-"
"Shhhh." She put her fingers on her lips and put her ear to the door.
I copied her and put my ear to the door as well. There was someone in the room.
"Who is it?" Bella asked.
"I don't know it sounds like Jasper and Alice."
"Well who ever it is one of them is crying."
I put the keys in the door again and unlocked it. When I opened the door there was no-one inside.
"Huh. Maybe just our imagination." I laughed.
I closed the door behind Bella and sat on the little couch and Bella joined me. She snuggled up to me and I put my arm around her.
We sat there for a while then she looked up at me.
"You know, I can sing too." She smiled.
"Really? I'd love to hear that."
"Pass us your guitar then." She said sitting up.
"Oh so you play as well?" I asked going across the room and picking up my guitar.
"I've been playing since a little girl." She replied taking my guitar and placing it on her lap.
I sat down next to her and she began to play.
I can honestly say you've been on my mind
Since I woke up today, up today
I look at your photograph all the time
These memories come back to life
And I don't mind
I remember when we kissed
I still feel it on my lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
I remember the simple things
I remember till I cry
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
The memory I wanna forget
Is goodbye
I woke up this morning
And played our song
And through my tears I sang along
I picked up the phone and then put it down
Cause I know I'm wasting my time
And I don't mind
I remember when we kissed
I still feel it on my lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
I remember the simple things
I remember till I cry
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
The memory I wanna forget
Suddenly my cell phone's blowing up
With your ringtone
I hesitate but answer it anyway
You sound so alone
And I'm surprised to hear you say
You remember when we kissed
You still feel it on your lips
That time that you danced with me
With no music playing
You remember the simple things
We talked till we cried
You said that your biggest regret
The one thing you wish I'd forget
Is saying goodbye
Saying goodbye
Oooh
Goodbye
"That was gorgeous."
"Thank you, now how about you play another song on your guitar?" She said handing me the guitar.
I smiled and refused it.
"I got a better idea." I smiled taking her hand and leading her out the room down the corridor and into the room labelled 'Music Room.'
Okay chappy done.
Translations
¿Estás listo Bella? = Are you ready Bella?
¿Puedo disponer de veinte minutos a solas con Edward?= Can I have 20 minutes alone with Edward?
I si vous avez encore jamais vu, mon monde serait = If I never saw you again, my world would end.
See I told you things would get better and the next chappy is the leading up to the fun fair!!! If you were wanting to know what song Bella sings it is called 'Goodbye' and it is by Miley Cyrus and earlier on in the story Edward sang the very famous 'Your Beautiful' by James Blunt, one of my favourite songs. Peace Out!
