I took a deep breath. "We need to talk."

He composed his face. "Really?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah really."

He faked innocence. "About what, Bella?"

"Don't play dumb."

"I'm not."

"Okay, I'm leaving then." I turned around and was about to walk out of the room when I heard him scramble to his feet and run up to me so he could grab my wrist.

"I'm sorry, I promise I won't play dumb anymore."

I turned around and sighed, "I'll leave if you do."

He nodded and brought me over to the black leather couch so we could talk.

He shook his head, "I don't know where to start Bella."

"Well, I have to ask you some questions."

He leaned back and looked at me, "Okay, ask away."

"Why did you break your promise? Remember when you said you'll try to be my friend? You acted like an asshole the next day!"

He looked away, making it seem that he couldn't look me in the eye anymore. "I don't know how to explain it… It's like when I'm around you I don't know how to act, so I'll just act like a douche."

"That doesn't make sense." I told him.

"I know," He sighed, "And even if I can't tell you some things right now, because I can't, I'll try my best to answer your questions. So we can go back to the way we were, before I changed."

"Edward… I don't think we can go back to the way we were."

"Why not?" He looked shocked.

"What do you mean 'why not?' look at everything you've put me through. I can't trust you Edward, I don't even know how to bring myself to be civil around you."

"We can change that, we can be friends agai-"

"Even if we do go back to being friends, how do you think I'll feel all the time? I'll always think that you'll snap at me and become a jerk. Break me again." I whispered the last part.

"What can I do to earn your trust?" He leaned closer to me.

"Stop having mood swings, I can't understand you when you smile one second and yell at me the next. Try not to make me feel like shit."

"I never meant to make you feel bad about yourself Bella, I swear that's the last thing I ever wanted."

"How can I believe you?" I looked at him questioningly.

"I guess I deserved that... I'll find a way to make it up to Bella, I promise."

I nodded, "I hope you do."

We sat in silence for a minute or two, but then he looked at me with sad eyes. "So… are you dating Luke?"

I smiled just thinking about him. "Yeah, he's pretty amazing, as a matter a fact he asked me to be him girlfriend last night. Look!" I proudly flashed him the ring.

He glared at the ring, looked out the huge window and mumbled something.

"What was that?" I asked him.

"I said, he doesn't deserve you."

"What?!" I shrieked, actually shrieked, "I just hope you know that I am very happy with him Edward! He treats me well and actually cares about me! Unlike someone I know!"

I stood up as did he, "Bella all I'm saying is that you can do so much better than him! Someone out there could love you more than he will ever love you! How do you not see that!?"

"There isn't anyone better than him! No one will ever love me the way he does!"

"Yes they will Bella!"

"How do you know that?! Why do you always do this? Fight with me whenever I actually find an ounce of happiness? Who's the person anyway? A made up man? Huh Edward, why don't you tell me since you think you found someone better than Luke."

His eyes widened and he quickly looked down, "I can't tell you that…"

"Oh so you can't tell me. Here we are fighting about something you can't even back up. You're a liar."

His head shot up and he glared at me, "Do not call me a liar."

"But you lied."

"I didn't lie."

"Then tell me who the person is!"

"No."

"Then you're a liar!"

"I'm not a liar Bella! Stop calling me a liar!"

"Hey, I'm not the one who made up a person."

"I didn't make him up." He defended himself.

"Oh so it IS a male. See I wouldn't know since you lie about everything."

"I wasn't lying! For crying out loud-"

"Then tell me who the person is Edward! Tell me who would love me more than Luke!"

"IT'S ME! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?! YOU MADE ME SAY IT!"

I gasped and stepped back, "What?" I whispered.

He laughed, but It sounded angry, bitter. "What, you thought all these years I was bi-polar?"

"Don't. Don't do thi-"

"Oh, so you made say it, something I've been holding in for years now and you don't want to hear it Bella? That's big of you."

"I…I, I have to go."

I ran out of the room, leaving behind something that I didn't think I could handle.

EPOV… finally!

I picked up a vase and threw at the door once Bella ran out of my room.

She made me say it, something I never wanted to admit it in fear of rejection. I guess my fears were proven. But I was an idiot, telling her I love her when she's in a relationship. Unfortunately for me a very great and happy relationship.

I ran my hand through my hair in frustration, I was in love with that girl ever since we were toddlers. Of course back then I didn't understand it but once I got older I realized that it wasn't sibling love or lust, it was the real deal. I knew she deserved something better, so I backed away, but instead of ignoring her I treated her like shit acting as though I hated her, couldn't even stand her presence, but that was just one of my many idiotic decisions.

And now when I laid it all out for her she ran, I didn't know what to expect from her, I mean it's not everyday your worst enemy tells you he loves you.

But now I had a plan, I wasn't going back to how we were, I was going to prove to her that I could love her, more than Luke or any other man out there. Because I could, and I would. She's the one for me and I'm never letting her get away ever again.

Not this time.

BPOV

I gazed out the window waiting for Luke to pick me up. To say I was a wreck would be an understatement. I was freaking out ever since the night I talked to Edward. He loves me…

I couldn't believe after all these years I found out the truth. He treated me the way he did not because he hated me, the exact polar opposite actually, he loved me.

I didn't know how to react, I was happy I finally got an explanation for his behavior but completely depressed that the explanation had to be what it is…

I heard the doorbell ring and I walked to the door with my bag on my shoulder.

"Good morning," He grinned once I opened the door.

"Hey." I sounded so much weaker, vulnerable.

He frowned. "What's wrong baby?"

I shook my head and tried to smile, but I'm sure it came out more like a grimace. "Nothing… just tired."

He didn't look convinced. "Are you sure? Bella I can tell something is wrong…"

I sighed. "I'm fine Luke, can we just go." It came out harsher then I intended but I couldn't have him know the truth.

He looked a bit taken a back but quickly masked it, "Alright…Let's get going then."

He opened my door for me as always and I sat down, not even bothering to mess with the radio. I just wasn't in the mood.

Luke kept on throwing me worried glances but I pretended not to notice. I couldn't stand the awkward silence or the tension, but I didn't know how to act around him… I will find out a way though, what we have doesn't happen often and I vowed not to ruin it.

I sighed in relief when I saw Alice running towards Luke's car once he parked it.

She opened the door and pulled me out, "Bella you have to tell me what happened! You just ran out of the house when you left Edwards room last night! Did the talk not go well!? I'm gonna kick his ass… I swear to got if he screwed it up…"

"Alice! Calm down," I looked at Luke who was standing behind me with a confused frown on his face. "We'll talk about it later."

She nodded, just then a shiny silver Volvo pulled up into a spot right next to Luke's. Edward stepped out of the car and finally noticed the three of us but he was only watching me.

"Good morning, Bella." He smiled that heart stopping crooked smile and for a moment I forgot how to breathe.

I shook my head and grabbed Luke's hand. "Hello."

Luke squeezed my hand. "Are you ready to go?"

I smiled at him and nodded. "Yeah let's go.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The day went by quickly and while I was distracted I couldn't help but let my mind wander… to Edward. And I couldn't ignore the pang of guilt every time I did.

Luke was everything I could ever ask for, he cared for me, wanted the best for me, beamed every time he saw me, and I actually believed that he loved me.

But Edward put so many doubts in my mind. Doubts I shouldn't even have, I mean I was so sure about everything one second and then he ruined that with one sentence.

And when I walked to Biology I couldn't help but feel nervous. He was already sitting at our table scribbling something on his notebook.

I sat down and he finally saw me, "Hey Bella." He smiled.

"Hi." I said quietly, looking forward.

"So… how was you day?" Curiosity laced his tone.

I looked at him and raised an eye brow, "Suspenseful, yours?"

He smirked at my answer, "It just got better."

I looked away when the teacher came in, and I was thankful I didn't have to respond.

When the bell finally rang I started to put away my stuff so i can leave the classroom. Once I was walking out Edward grabbed my wrist.

"Wait…"

I looked at him, "Yeah?"

He stared me but then shook his head, "Never mind, I'll see you later."

He gently rubbed my arm and left.

I groaned when I realized how good his touch felt, I was in serious trouble.

LPOV

I was walking to Bella's Biology classroom trying to think of reasons why she acted so distant and cold towards me. Everything was fine between us as far as I was concerned.

We had a great time on Saturday and not to mention she was going to California with me. That was a big step for a relationship.

I finally reached her classroom and saw Edward walking out shaking his head when he met my gaze he seemed angry and… jealous? THE Edward Cullen was jealous…

I ignored him and grabbed Bella by the waist when she walked out.

She squealed and turned around, she looked relieved it was me but slapped my chest.

"Don't scare me like that!"

I laughed. "I'm sorry. I just missed you that's all."

She smiled shyly and kissed me quickly before I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and we started walking to art. As we walked down the hallway I noticed everyone staring at the shiny ring on Bella's left hand.

That's right. She's mine.

I smirked at all the guys glaring at me and all the girls looking envious of Bella. It's like we just got married or something.

We reached the art room and took our usual seats, chatting the whole class period.

In PE Rosalie grabbed Bella and dragged her into the locker room as soon as she saw her making Bella grab on to me for dear life.

I shook my head, I have to find out what's going on.

BPOV

"So what's this I hear about your conversation with Edward?" Rosalie asked once we were in the locker room.

"Nothing, we just… I don't know." I stammered.

She groaned, "Bella come on. Alice told me that you ran out of the house after she forced you to go talk to him. You never have these kinds of reactions."

I blinked, I should really tell her… "We just fought. You know the usual, I was just overemotional with Luke on my mind."

"Oh yeah… the ring! Show me!" She grabbed my left hand and held it in front of her face, "Oh my god… This is like Timbalands' wedding band. Maybe even bigger."

"Can we not start please?" I groaned.

She chuckled, "Oh silly Bella, you're one lucky girl."

There goes the big pang of guilt.

"I know." I whispered.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So I was thinking we can leave four days before Christmas Eve. That way we can decorate… I mean if that's okay with you…"

Luke looked at me expectantly and I nodded smiling.

We were at a small diner having lunch just after school, we were discussing our Christmas plans.

"Yeah, I love decorating the house."

He grinned, "Really? I never thought you would like that kind of stuff."

"Well since I was old enough to understand the actual meaning of Christmas I took over the decorating since Renee wasn't there. It was just nice to see Charlie smile once in a while."

He looked down, "Yeah, I haven't had a real Christmas since I was probably five. My parents never really cared about that stuff."

I scooted closer to him in the small booth and wrapped my arms around his waist putting my head on his shoulder.

"We're going to have an amazing Christmas. I promise, this year is it Lucas." I whispered.

He tilted my head so he can kiss me, "As long as I'm with you Bella, you're it for me." He gently kissed me and I suddenly remembered why I was falling in love with him.

Before you kill me you have to know that this took my by surprise too. I mean Edward is just so unpredictable,

and while i know many of you might not like this chapter very much you have to keep in mind that i started this

as a Bella/Edward story. Luke was just... there.
