Chapter 11 - Saying goodbye

Bpov

Jared's statement pulled Emmett and Jasper into the room. They saw Jared standing with his mouth hanging open shocked, and me in Edward's arms.

"Dude, it's not what you think," Emmett said but was punched by Jasper in the shoulder.

Edward kept me behind him as if he was trying to shield me from the accusations. Jasper motioned for Emmett to block the door and Jared looked like he was getting worried.

"You're going to keep your mouth shut about what goes on in this cabin or we'll tell everyone that we know you're the girl," Jasper threatened.

I squeezed Edward's hand. This was too much. The threat was too harsh. Jared did not deserve this kind of treatment.

"Stop it, you guys!" I begged. Jared was a good guy.

"Bella, don't, we don't know if we can't trust him," Edward whispered and gave me a fierce warning look.

I glared back. "Jared is my friend," I nearly growled.

I walked over and stood next to him and he stepped away from me a little. Apparently, Jared was a homophobe.

Emmett started laughing when Jared stepped back from me. "Nice friend you got there, Herman."

"Shut up, Emmett. You acted the same way when you thought Edward was gay!" I chided him.

He stopped laughing and then Jared looked at me again stepping closer. "He thought Edward was gay?"

Shit, cat was out of the bag now.

He was looking at me more carefully now.

Edward was just shaking his head annoyed. "Are you trying to get yourself kicked out of camp? All it takes is one slip, that's all and then you're gone. I don't want to lose you, not yet."

Jasper stepped up again. "The threat is the same. If word gets out that Bella, or Rick, is a girl we'll deny it and say it's you and you'll be the one tied to the tree crying for your mommy. Understand?"

"Bella?" Jared said looking at me again. He let out a breath. "So there really is a girl in camp?"

Edward pulled me back into his arms as if he was afraid Jared would attack me. It was silly that he was being so over protective.

"She's mine, and if you want us to watch your back you'll keep your mouth shut," Edward threatened.

I hated to admit it but hearing him claim me as his turned me on a little, even if he was acting like a caveman.

Edward had me pressed hard against him, his face lingering dangerously close to my neck. I turn to him smiling and kissed his lips. He loosened his grip so I could turn around but I stepped out of his grasp so I could check on Jared.

"You won't tell, right?" I begged.

Emmett spoke up. "Dude, you know what those guys would do to her if they found her."

Jared nodded his head yes. "Your secret is safe with me," he said sincerely.

"Thanks, Jared. I knew I could count on you."

Emmett relaxed his stance by the door and Jasper headed into their room. I guess the discussion was closed.

Edward grabbed my hand, claiming me again and pulled me to him.

Jared's eyes had yet to leave me. "So, what do I call you?" he finally asked.

"Well, here you can call me Bella, or Herman, as Emmett has decided that's a new fitting name, but out there you have to call me Rick, no slip ups."

"I'll just call you Rick all the time to be on the safe side."

I smiled. That was sweet of Jared.

"Thanks for looking out for my girl. We'll watch your back, I promise." Edward offered his hand to Jared and Jared smiled taking it and shaking it firmly.

When Jared said he would just call her Rick to be on the safe side I knew we could trust him.

I was relieved.

Bella had been attending classes with him every day for nearly a month now and I would assume since it was only him and Jeff in the class that the three of them had gotten close. I was thankful that was the case.

I didn't want to give up Bella sooner than I had to. Once we returned home there would be no cuddling naked in our sleep or waking up and getting her off just to see her body flush and her eyes sparkle. I would have to be like a regular teenager and take her out on a date. For some reason, I didn't think cuddling in the backseat would cut it.

I wondered if she would want to attend Dartmouth with me. We could get an apartment together and I could wake up to her soft breasts every morning. Her hands running down my chest brought me out of my thoughts. I sought out her lips and she readily surrendered them to me.

She was mine.

"It's going to suck when we go back," I whispered.

"I know. I'll miss you," she answered and I would miss her as well. I didn't think I would be able to sleep through the night without her by my side. Her scent was so relaxing, so intoxicating, so perfect, and so Bella. She was everything and I didn't want to let her go.

I didn't answer her, just nuzzled deeper into her. I didn't want to think about what my life was going to be like without her so close. I would make the most of the time I had with her.

It was our last day together.

My chest was aching. I knew it was the end of us. He wouldn't be desperate once he was back home. He would have any girl he wanted. I would just be the mistake he made.

I tried to let him know how I felt. I told him I would miss him and I would. Once we got back I would do my best to sever all ties with him and let him go on thinking everything was fine. I would let him know I was okay with him moving on, even though I wasn't, but he would never know that.

Poor plain geeky girls that wanted to spend their lives hiding behind books didn't get to date the handsome rich gorgeous doctor that was off to save the world. I didn't deserve him and I knew he would figure it out sooner rather than later. It was best that I be gone and out of his hair before then.

It would hurt less that way.

We stayed longer in bed, skipping breakfast. Emmett and Jasper took our stuff down to the buses to be loaded. We were supposed to leave in a few minutes.

"I'm going to miss you," I whispered as I kissed him. I was trying not to cry but I was failing.

"Hey, don't cry, Love. It's not the end of us. Once I get back from football camp I'll be spending my every waking moment with you," he promised kissing me again.

He would be gone for six weeks at football camp. I would have time to come up with a plan; one where I survived being apart from Edward Cullen forever.

We were climbing onto the bus that would take us to the stop between Forks and Port Angeles. There were a few other guys that would be getting off before us at a few stops. I was sitting next to Edward and dying to touch him.

He reached over and squeezed my hand when no one was looking. That little touch set me off. I'd had enough. These were my last moments with him. I would not let this secret come between us. We were already going home. They could not punish me now.

I reached inside my shirt and pulled out my bandage, unbinding my breasts and letting them bounce free. Edward looked at me surprised as I chucked it. It landed on Jasper and Emmett who were sitting behind us.

I grabbed my shirt, tying it up high under my breasts and shifted my jeans down on my hips, exposing my small waist. There would be no mistaking I was a girl now.

The guys all sitting around us watched the transformation. Some shouting holy shit, some whistling cat calls as I straddled Edward.

He didn't fight me. He pulled me quickly to his lips and kissed me, blocking out all of the rest of the world. His hands roamed my body claiming it and responding to my touch. I wanted him, all of him. I knew I couldn't have him on the bus but I would take as much as he would give me.

When we came to our stop Jasper tapped us on our shoulders. Edward didn't let me off of his lap but carried me with my legs locked around his waist.

We would not separate until it was required.

Jake and Seth had got off the bus before us and dropped the tail gate to my truck, waiting for us. Edward walked me over to the Jeep that was parked in a different spot than Emmett had left it. Someone had driven it down for them, just like Charlie had dropped off my truck for us.

He set me on the front seat, ignoring everyone around us and continued his assault on my neck and lips. His fingers worked my nipples as I ground against him finding that friction I needed so desperately. I needed him. I didn't want to let go. I didn't want to give him up.

"DUDE! Seriously? I want to get back to my Rosie, too, so break it up. You can get your car and go see her after I drop you off," Emmett complained.

Edward groaned and started pulling away.

I hopped off the seat and held up a finger to Emmett to let him know I would be just a minute. It never took more than a minute. Edward was fast. I yanked him a few paces into the forest and attacked his pants as I kissed him. I wasn't going to let him forget me too quickly.

I got him free of his jeans and dropped to my knees.

"Oh fuck, Bella," he groaned.

I knew this would be fast.

I took him in my mouth and gave him a quick suck. He almost started cumming immediately.

I let him put himself away as I kissed his neck and he pulled me to his lips.

"You didn't have to do that."

"I know, but I didn't want you to be uncomfortable going home."

"You're amazing, Bella, you know that? Truly amazing," he whispered kissing me again.

Emmett hollered for Edward one more time, so we came out of the forest and he walked me to my truck. He looked at me surprised when I pulled the keys out of my pocket.

"What? It's a classic," I defended.

He just chuckled and shook his head. "Fine, little girl, drive what you want, but just know when it comes to our dates we're taking my car."

I just shrugged, knowing there wouldn't be any.

He shut the door for me and Jacob and Seth piled in. I went to start the truck but it was dead. I let out a sigh. I knew how to fix it.

Jake was about to hop out but I let him know that I could fix it. I popped the hood and pulled out the can of starter spray from under the seat.

Edward and Jasper had walked over to see what was going on.

"I got it, boys, it does this all the time," I said as I wrenched open the old hood.

I made sure my shirt was tied in a tight knot away from any moving parts and stepped up on the bumper so I could prime the engine.

Bella Bella Bella.

She was all I thought about, all I wanted. She was everything and everywhere. The bus ride home was just what I needed and then she pulled me off into the forest. My god, could she be anymore perfect?

Of course she could.

She cinched up her shirt tighter around her beautiful perky breasts and climbed up into her truck and stretched over her engine. She knew what she was doing. I knew I was getting hard again just watching her tight little ass perched over her truck.

"Hit it, Seth!" she shouted and the monster she called a truck roared to life.

Jasper and I both flinched at the sound, but she stood perfectly calm on the bumper as if it was nothing. She was perfect.

She was a goddess.

I stepped forward and gave her a hand down from the bumper. She thanked me and kissed my cheek.

"You know that was really hot, right?" I whispered in her ear.

She looked up at me surprised. How could she not know how hot she was?

She just smirked at me and grumbled something about men and vehicles. I helped her into her truck once more and kissed her goodbye.

"I'll call you once I get unpacked," she promised, but there was sadness in her eyes that I didn't understand. Maybe she was already just missing me like I was missing her.

I watched her drive away, taking my heart with her.
