Angel-Shaggy

EPOV- a week later

Just another boring day in math class. Good thing I was naturally smart because it seemed I could never bring myself to listen to my teachers' lessons. Not that I have ADD or some hyper focus problem it's just that my mind has been on other things lately.

Bella hadn't been to school since the accident. After that night I haven't felt anything for Bella accept pain and longing to see her face again.

But mostly rage, not towards her of course, but towards that scumbag, piece of shit Kyler. Lucky for him after the police ride home his parents got a full briefing on the night and they immediately took him out of school and football all together. He was now being homeschooled and rumor has it, his family is moving to London or something due to the embarrassment he has caused in the town.

If I saw his face again I can't even imagine the things I would due to him. I'd probably murder that son of a bitch if I had the chance.

Alice has been checking up on Bella everyday and from what I hear, Bella is coming to terms with what has happened and seems a little more like herself every day.

What I still don't understand is why she isn't pressing any charges against bitch ass Kyler. Alice says it has something to do with keeping the whole thing private, which I don't understand because I'm pretty sure the whole damn fiasco has spread throughout half the town already. Damn small towns.

That is such a Bella thing to do though… She has always been uncomfortable when being the center of attention.

Before I knew it the bell rang signaling the end of the day. I met up with Alice by my car passing the crowds of flocking students. We hadn't felt like socializing much the past week. What's the point when we have our minds on Bella all day.

"You know she's probably ready to see you again." Alice broke the silence of our thoughts as we drove home.

"I don't know Alice. What if she's not ready for that yet? I don't want to freak her out or anything." I explained.

"Edward!" Alice chastised, "You wouldn't freak her out! You saved her. You're her hero and she's your heroin!" Alice announced like she was some romantic playwright.

"Alright, alright Alice! Be normal for once. Maybe I'll go see her." I mumbled off.

"You will see her! We can stop by right now. I told you she's pretty back to normal. It will be fine." She assured me. I usually always trusted Alice's predictions for she was usually right. Hopefully she's right about this one…

"Bella!" Alice yelled as she ran up the stairs. "Wait right there." She stopped me in the doorway.

I had no idea where Charlie was but I was thankful he was not home for I think I would be too nervous to even attempt having a normal conversation with him.

Shortly after Bella came walking down the stairs in what looked like pajamas. She was even more beautiful them I remembered but there was something different about her that I could not quite pinpoint... something in her expression.

"Hi Edward." She stopped at the bottom of the stairs. Her voice sounded nervous and squeaked a little at the end of my name.

"Bella," I loved the way her named rolled off the tongue, "how are you?" I took a couple steps toward her. She quickly focused her gaze on the ground making me already miss those deep brown orbs.

"Better." She seemed to be searching for words so I kept silent and waited. "I… I just wanted to say thanks… for everything… For being there for me." She finally glanced up for only a second before dropping her eyes back to her feet. She seemed almost embarrassed or something along the lines of that.

"Bella look at me." I slid my fingers under her chin forcing her to look up at me. Fortunately she didn't flinch away like the last time. "I'll always be there for you. No matter what happens." I looked into her eyes trying to get through to her.

"Do you remember when I told you that you're the best friend I've ever had?" she nodded smiling a little at the memory that seemed so long ago, "Well I meant it Bella. I've never met anyone like you and I probably won't ever again. I don't want you out of my life Bella and I never did, even if it means that we just stay friends I'll take that because it's worth it if I get to spend time with you and laugh with you and be there to pick you up when you fall."

I laughed a little trying to lighten the serious mood. "And God knows that's gonna be a lot with your clumsy feet." Bella slapped my arm playfully and giggled. I couldn't help the smile that grew on my face.

Then and there I knew the old Bella was back.

My Bella.

Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady

You're a queen and so you should be treated
Though you never get the lovin that you needed
Could have left, but I called and you heeded
Takin a beatin, mission completed

Not the type to mess around with her emotion
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long and this could never be wrong

Girl, in spite of my behavior, said I'm your savior
And you appear to me so tender, say girl, I surrender

Hey everyone! I just wanted to apologize for the extremely long wait on this chapter! I've had sports and Confirmation... Still! No excuse and I promise I will do my best to get the next chapters out sooner! Please dont hate me and review :)
