"Shy?"

Uh-oh, I can't stand here and watch him walk away from me again. whoever this girl was, I wished she'd never come here in the first place. I don't know who or what she is or was to him. But I know he's mine now so she better back off. I've waited to long to be where I want to be with him, and I won't let her get in my way.

I interrupted her. "Hi im Bella." I said weaving my arms around Edward. Clear sign of 'He's my property bitch', back up. I hope she takes the hint or else my self defense classes with Alice and the girls, will be put to the test.


She reached her hand forward to meet mine. I shook her hand with as much force as I could while still being polite. Trust me, it's not an easy feed when all you want to do to that person is gouge her eyes out. Oh, fun.

"Hi, Im Sheyanne," She said looking between us questioningly. "Edwards…friend." somehow I find it hard to believe that they were just friends. Something about how she said it alarmed me. I noticed her looking at Edward with amusement in her eyes. I looked up at him for an explanation.

He chuckled, "Bella, this is my ex-girlfriend, and one of my good friends Sheyenne."He told me smiling.

I didn't know what to think or do with that information. I mean yeah, I still wanted to gouge her eyes out; but just a little less now that I can see she's just friends with MY Edward. Yeah, I said it, MY Edward. I guess I can be mature about this. What else can I do?

"Right, so how do you guys know each other?" I asked.

"Oh we met at school. Well boarding school." She clarified. I suppose she's not a threat but I would love to know what she's doing here still.

"Oh okay, what brings you to Washington?"Edward asked, still holding me to his side.

"Im visiting some friends I met over the summer."She said while staring far off. Now I know she isn't thinking about Edward that way, she's met someone else.

"Sounds like you met some one."Edward said quietly.

Something about her involement with this person upsets him. I wonder just how long ago it's been since they broke up.

Sheyanne. She's here, in Washington. Have I walked under a ladder, or broken a mirror lately? Because my luck has went from lucky to unlucky, in a matter of about 10 seconds.

When Bella saw Sheyanne, she weaved her little arms around my torso. Im guessing as a sign of dominance, it was hot. To say that it's a shocker to see her is an uderstatement. We hadn't exactly left off on good terms. And very seldomnly do you ever find the reason for your leaving and your new reason of being in the same state, same day, same mall, same time, same place. Well, you get the point.

Im at a crossroads, what in the hell do I say to Bella about all of this. How will she even handle being in the middle of me and an ex-girlfriend. We're not even dating..yet, and this drama arises. For all I know this could dwindle my chances of even being with her. And we were so close to actually being something. A one, an us. Bella and Edward. Edward and Bella. Great just great.

I was so lost in how I was going to explain all of this to her, that I almost haven't noticed that Sheyanne and Bella had started to conversate.

Bella pushed her hand out towards Sheyanne, "Hi, Im Bella." She said confidently, though she looked to be warring with herself.

"Hi, Im Sheyanne," She said looking between us questioningly. "Edwards…friend." Yeah, that sounded really convincing. I had alomost forgotten what a horrible liar she was, that's how I caught her in the lie that broke us up.

I wasn't about to lie to Bella, last thing I need is for her to find out the hard way. Best policy, is honesty.

I chuckled at the thought of Bella finding out that I had lied to her. The thought is completely laughable. But with my luck she'd go to the store and someone whose a friend, of someone's friends, friend's, cousin who knows Sheyanne and I would inadvertently spill the beans to her, while they ponder which vegetable would be edible enough to feed to their family members. Yep, that's about right.

"Bella, this is my ex-girlfriend, and one of my good friends Sheyenne." I told her smiling to ease some of her tension. Good friend though? Im not sure I was completely honest about that.

Bella seemed to stiffen in my grasp, I don't think she noticed it as she had begun to speak.

"Right, so how do you guys know each other?"She asked.

"Oh, we met at school. Well boarding school." She clarified. I pulled Bella into my side, just in case she decided to gouge Sheyanne's eyes from the socket out. Well, that's what the expression on her face told me. She looked like she was weighing the distance between her and Sheyanne,a or how long it would take for her to do the deed and get away before Paul Blart the mall cop came to investigate, with his stick on badge and flashlight.

"Oh okay, what brings you to Washington?"I asked curiously. She lived on the other side of the country in Florida, what is she doin here?

She got a far away look in her eyes,"Im visiting some friends I met over the summer."She said

Well, she sure got over our break-up pretty fast, not that Im surprised under these circumstances, but I do wonder what happened to that guy she was dating, oh-what's-his-face.

"Sounds like you met some one."I said quietly, still trying to figure out how I feel about all of this.

I really like Bella, more than I've liked anyone, ever. She's cool, down to earth, clumsy, beautiful. She's everything I want in a girl. I have never felt the way I do when Im with Bella with Sheyanne. So why am I having these uncertainties? Sheyanne and I had been together for over six months, and we had just broken up about a month ago, because she was having outside affairs with some what's-his-face. I was upset at first, sure but now I think about it, I don't really think I was too broken up over it. I think I was more upset about how I found out.

She had the key to my dorm room at the school, and I had hers. I had been studying in the library late that night because I had a major twenty paged essay on human pschology to do for my ap psychology class. I had been studying for hours on end, non-stop. And I knew I would be late for our date night. So I texted her to meet me at the room and we would go from there. I remember telling her exactly what time I would be back to the dorms, as I was determined not to be late and waste another minute of her time. I told her I'd be there at about seven-O'clock, and I figured I would. I had been in the library for about four hours when I looked at the time. My essay was finished and typed up, all I had to do was bind it in a lamenated folder. It was six-thirty by the time I left the library. It was a ten minute walk back to my dorm. when I got to the top of the steps at the end of my hall, I heard music. At the time I didn't know where it was coming from, so I continued walking. When I turned the corner to my door I realised it had been coming from my room, and I figured she had just turned on some music to pass the time. i put my key in the key hole and turned the knob, what I saw there had scarred me for the rest of my tme being there.

There she was, with my roomate who is now referred to as what's-his-face, having sex. Seeing them in the predicament is not what harmed me in anyway though, no not them. But the fact that they were on my bed. MY BED! How much more disloyal, dishonest, and disrespectful could they have gotten? It was so wrong.I mean I slept on that thing. How was I supposed to sleep on that thing, when it had god knows who else cum sack juices, and ass sweat on it; because from the looks of it this wasn't the first time she had done this, as there were candles lit. i was so far beyond repulsed I just turned around and closed the door, not wanting to see anymore. She must've hear the door shut because, I heard a buch of scrambling around and things falling as she came to the door. i just stared at her blankly while she hurried to explain, while she had been in that predicament. All the while Im thinking, thanks for the bed decoration, that's just the kind of present i wanted to come home to after a long hard day. You wouldn't have been enough, I really wanted to see my roomates ass while he slammed in to you from behind. Im so very grateful.

When she got finished her ramblings, I broke up with her. I wasn't impolite, just extremely terse. I had kicked her out. When I went back in my dorm room, I dind't speak to what's-his-face, I just proceded to strip my matress, and put the matress it's self on the floor. I was dead set on not using the bed for the rest of the time. I had already decided a week before the incident that I was going back home, I missed my family and friends way to much to be away even another mnute. I had only three weeks until the school year would be over, so I just waited it out.

I didn't warn anyone to my arrival, I just simply picked up my important papers, and booked a ticket for home. i hadn't said goodbye to Sheyanne, as I really couldn't stand to look at her. Her face reminded me of what I could have, or most likey was already sleeping on.

I brought myself back to the moment with a throaty cough. I noticed that Bella had diengaged herself from me, Im not to sure I was happy about that.

When I saw Alice and Jasper calling us over I quickly began to remove myself and Bella from the awkwardness that was this conversation.

"Well, we must be on our way, got places to go and people to see."I said backing away with Bella in my arms.

"Yeah, it was nice seeing you again Edward."She called out."And nice to have met you too Bella!"

"Yeah, you too."Bella said distractedly. Oh no, what is goin on in that head of hers.

I didn't reply back to her, I just wanted to be on my way, and get Bella away from that woman. When we got around the corner, and out the door of the mall, she pulled herself away from me. It wasn't a rude gesture, and she had offerd up a smile, but I still got the point of the action. I think that situation is going to have to be explained to her. If she'll let me.

One thing I know for sure, is that if I hadn't known why I was upset about that situation before, I do now. It would have been nice if I had a bed to sleep in the last three weeks of school. And I want Bella. Only Bella. If she still wants me after this.

I can't believe this. They had dated. She was beautiful, and I can't even hold a candle to her. She had long blonde hair that Im sure encased her gorgeous face, and brilliant grey eyes, that would look bright even if the light in the room were cut off.

What on this green earth, could I have to offer him after he's been with that. I feel like he'd be downsizing. He could do better, and I would allow him to. I won't stand in his way of something better.

But him being Edward, would probably tell me that im crazy, which im not. I know that this is what's best, for him at least. I can do this, as hard as it will be to distance myself from him. I can do it im sure.

Now that's not to say that we won't be friends. That would be both uneccessary, and impossible. I couldn't stay away from Edward if my life depended on it. But what I could do is hide my feelings as best as possible. I will not make it hard to move on from me. Not that it would be. What a vein thought to have.

As I made my way to the car, I removed myself from Edwards arms. It wasn't helping the him moving on process if he still thought he could have me. Plus, it was just to hard to be there, and know that it won't be very long until he realises that im not worth it any way. And when that time comes I will be more broken hearted then I am now, knowing that I have to give him up.

Life sucks.

The drive back to Forks was filled with talking and laughter. I was trying to get aquainted with the whole just friends thing with Edward, a failed attempt at indifference on my part, as Edward saw right through my poorly executed facade. He had repeatedly, through the car ride, tried to get my attention. I couldn't even look at him let alone really give a straight enough answer to his questions. I just wanted to get on with this car ride and then get away from his piercing green eyes, that will inevitably make me spill my guts about what I am doing. He can't know, even if it is for his benefit.

About forty-five minutes later we drove through the barrier of Forks. I was filled with relief, even if i didn't convey that on my face. I wouldn't want them to think that I wasn't into our time together because I was. But sitting in this car with him after all that has been decided is a little too much for me to handle.

When Jasper pulled up in front of my house, I jumped out as fast as I could without being suspicious. I guess I hadn't succeeded.

"What's the rush Bella?" Jasper chuckled, while I stumbled up the drive way.

I turned around, trying to think quick, and said,"Uh, I..have..to..go...PEE!"I said unconvincingly. Even I could see that.

But they hadn't pressed thank goodness. I waved goodbye to everyone, and told Alice I'd text her later, then walked into my house.

The rest of the night had passed uneventfully. I made dinner as usual. Spent rare quality time with Charlie, and then headed upstairs. After finishing up some left over homework, I had been faithfully texted to by the girls. We hadn't spoke long, just discussion of our afternoons. I took a shower, then returned to my bed.

I couldn't fall asleep right away with all the things flying through my mind. It was like being in a black hole. I could basically see the millions of thoughts running through my head, but it was too fast for me to make any sense of it. It would shoot by, and get swallowed up somewhere else.

I realised one thing before going to sleep. I missed Edward Cullen, and I wasn't sure if I would succeed at this, but I sure could try.


The next day was better I knew what I had to do.

When I got out my bed, I immediately went to the shower, and got dressed. I wasted no time at all, eating breakfast, saying goodbye to Charlie, and leaving. But not before packing my bag for the sleepover tonight. All of this weeks events led up to this very day, and despite my revelation about Edward and, I was excited.

The drive to school was short, and when I got there I sat in my car until all of the gang was there.

It had been surprisingly simple not to dwell, on the Edward situation. We had a normal day, everyone was excited even the boy surprisingly. We cracked jokes and laughed. It was great.

After school the girls pulled me aside and we discussed the pranks to be pulled on the guys.

"Okay, so Im thinking make-overs in their sleep."Alice said. Of course she would say that.

"Itching powder in the sleeping bags."I said. We laughed.

"Steal their clothes?"Angela Questioned.

"Nope, I've got a better one.."Rose said.

"Well?" We all said.

"Im thinking pictures, embarrasing pictures."She smiled evilly.

"Oh, yeah."We all said.

"Okay so were going to head over to the house now to get things set up."Alice said.

"Alright I'll follow you there."I said.

Angela and Rose said they would be there after they went home and got there stuff. We agreed to see them later and then walked to our cars. I was stopped off right before reaching my door seeing that Edward was standing there.

"Hey Edward wh-"I was cut off.

"Don't talk just listen."He said forcefully.

It all happened so fast after that. I was turned around and pushed up against my side door. He wrapped his arms around my waist and lowered his mouth to mine with a need so fierce that I could do nothing but comply. The kiss lasted so long that I had to come up for air before my lungs gave out on me. i stood stunned for a moment, trying to gather my thoughts and feelings.

"Never, doubt how I feel for you."He said smiling crookedly.

"But how did you kno-"I asked but once again was cut off.

"Because I know you. And after that day I knew you would try to get me to move on. Not happening. So get over it. I want you, only you Bella."He said.

I think my heart just stopped. I can't find it in my chest. Maybe it fell out of my but during that life altering kiss. Wow. Oh, wait there it is. He He.

I heard Edward chuckle beside me. Omg did I say that out loud?

"Yes, yes you did." He said. I bowed my head in embarrassment, and blushed a million shades.

He put his finger under my chin to raise my face to his. He kissed me softly, once, twice, three times, then looked deeply into my eyes.

"If you'll have me, I promise to buy you all the cookies in the world."He said. I laughed.

"Hmmm. Nope."He looked shocked I laughed harder.

"I want brownies."I said with as much dignity as I could muster with a statement like that.

"So that's a yes?"Couldn't he tell?

"Of course it is dope!"I laughed. He picked me up and spun me around. When he put me down, he kissed me again, this time I lost any insecurities I had.

I hadn't noticed that anyone was around. Our friends plus half of the shool parking lot had just witnessed Edward asking me out. Well, I hope they enjoyed the show. Was it as good for you as it was for me?

"Congratulations!"Our friends shouted, and joined a group hug. How corny, who does this anymore.

Once the focus was off Edward and I, and my face cooled off, I turned serious remembering why I had done what I attempted to.

"Edward, I still want to know about what happened between you two."I stated.

He sighed. "I figured you would. It's not something I like to talk about for reason I wish not to relive, but for you anything."He said unleashing 'The Smile' on me. That's low.

"That's all I ask."I said and stood up on my tip toes to kiss him.
