Hey you guys!
I would like to thank you! For the reviews, suggestions and the support! It really helped me a lot since I was trying to think how I would make Edward and Bella talk. But I figured it out! Thanks again guys.
It's June 12 today and today's my birthday! Yay! Random, I know. I'm FINALLY turning fifteen!
Anyways…Here's Chapter 19: Your anything.
Camille's Point of View
Last Friday, after asking Edward to the dance and being turned down, breaking the hearts of Edward and Bella and after successfully breaking the 'Sky Fly' people and after causing Tanya's little cheerful tantrum without even meaning to, I decided to walk around the campus and think of my actions.
As I walked, I realized that the crowd that I picked to be in was wrong. I was new, all I wanted was to fit in and be a different girl from the one that always got pushed over in Italy. Tanya was the wrong choice. When I came to school, I saw the relationship the Hales, Cullens and the Swans had and I wanted that too. I could see that even if Edward and Emmett were new, they fit in so perfectly. I wanted to belong. But I chose the wrong people to trust. Considering that Tanya was just using me.
I also realized that I had to make things right. I had to make things go back to normal. For Edward, for Bella and for myself. This would serve as my payback to Tanya and a peace offering to Edward and Bella. I had and will apologize.
Still thinking on how to make things right, a piece of paper by a big oak tree caught my attention.
I opened it and read it as tears ran down my face. I really messed up. I have to make things right.
As I planned, I would talk to Edward and Bella today. After a week because I was scared that I would just be tuned out, my efforts would just be overlooked. And I was also afraid of confrontation, especially with Bella since I know that I deserve it all anyway. I couldn't even look into their eyes anymore.
But I had to turn my wrongs to rights. I saw how Edward and Bella suffered, and I hated it. It was my entire fault. And I also hated how Tanya seemed to be so happy. She looked so happy that I wanted to punch her in the face and just yell at her.
With that in mind, I made my way to Edward Cullen's desk before Mr. Banner could get to class.
Edward's Point of View
A week has passed. A week without Bella. A week without Bella's smile. A week without Bella's voice. A week of watching from afar. A week of secret protection. A week of secret admiration.
I was so lost in my thoughts and of watching Bella from the other side of the classroom that I got startled when someone called my name from in front of me.
"Edward…" the voice said, I looked up and was met by olive green eyes. Camille.
"I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood for talking. Or for invitations. Good day." I said as I looked back at Bella. I knew I was being mean but I couldn't help it, really. For all I knew, she could have planned for Bella and I to be broken apart.
"Just give me a minute and listen up, this is important." She said in a firm voice. I didn't reply and she took that as a signal to continue.
"I'm really sorry for what happened last week. I didn't know what the results of my actions would have been. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry because I see now what happened because of me. I broke you and Bella, don't even try to deny it. I'm sorry for letting Tanya use me. I just wanted to be part. I just wanted to belong because I was new, you know? I just hope you forgive me. And take this, I saw this by a big oak tree behind the school." She said weakly as she handed me a piece of paper that looked oddly like the paper from Bella's composition notebook, but I couldn't be sure.
She really shocked me. I didn't expect her to apologize, not at all. And I get her point. So I decided that I would forgive her, she was s good person.
"It's fine. I know you didn't mean breaking us apart. You're forgiven." I said as I took the piece of paper from her.
"Thank you Edward. So much, this means a lot to me. And if you need anything. Especially when it comes to winning Bella over, just tell me. I know you're in love with her. Don't even deny it." She said as she looked over to Bella who was in her own little world with earphones in her ears.
I wanted to deny it but as if right on cue, Mr. Banner arrived, late as always.
He started to discuss about chemical reactions. I was uninterested so I just droned him out. I looked down at the piece of paper that was still in my hands and decided to read it and see what's important about it.
I opened it and tears began to well up in my eyes as I read it.
The paper was from Bella's composition notebook. It was decorated with tiny hears and my name was written all over it. Under the song's title was "written by: Bella S. for: Edward-O" I took that as a confirmation that it was from Bella.
But what made me want to cry was the lyrics. It wasn't finished yet, I could tell…but still.
I betchya lie awake at night
Tryin to make up your sweet mind
Wonderin if you'll ever find
Just what you want
A home-town number one
Or a California loaded gun
But you know you only get one
Or that's what you thought
But here's what you've got
I could be your favorite blue jeans
With the holes in the knees
In the bottom of the top drawer
I could be your little beauty queen
Just a little outta reach
Or the girl livin next door
I'll be your angel givin up her wings
If that's whatchya need
I'd give everything to be your anything
It was so beautiful that I could see Bella singing it for me, and I wanted it. I wanted to see her sing it but as Alice said, I threw all that out of the window.
I really messed up. And now, I had to make things right. I hurt her bad and I had to fix her. It was my fault after all. And it wasn't only her hurting but also the whole band, especially Alice.
With that, I decided that I would talk to her tomorrow, at her house after band practice.
I went through the day in a breeze, a plan and a melody forming in my head. I felt like a new man. I felt relieved. I felt relived that after a disastrous week, I could and I would talk to my Bella again. And I'll do my best to make her see how important she is to me.
Emmett's Point of View
Hell. That's the only thing you could call this week. Hell.
Edward was broken. Bella was broken. The band itself is broken. Everything was broken. My only light was Rosalie and my love for her. Yes, the Emmett loves something else that isn't edible so shoot me!
Edward looked like all hell broke loose. He looked worse than when I came home for the first time. When he learned that Esme and Carlisle adopted me so he would be happy. Back then, he claimed that he did not want me. That all he wanted was his best friend who goes by the name of Bella. That time, I felt unwanted but I also understood his reaction, I myself left a best friend back in the orphanage but it seems that his case was worse. Now, I realize why. He loved her, even as kids. I was one who didn't believe in fairy tails and all that shit but they were soul mates. One could not be happy with the other, Bella and Edward. These days, after the incident, Edward would always sneak out at night, thinking that no one knew, but I wasn't worried about him getting into trouble because once, I followed him. He didn't even seem to notice. He would just walk aimlessly by our backyard or sit by the river, obviously lost in his thoughts.
I knew I had to talk to Bella about the situation soon. I couldn't see my brother and my friends and my Rosalie's hurt expressions any longer. I would try my hardest to forge it in her mind. I would do my best to help them both in fixing up. I knew Alice and Rose were planning something but I knew that if I did not talk to Bella soon, nothing will happen.
I decided that now, right after band practice, I would talk to her. With that in mind, I walked the stairs up to Bella's room.
Bella's Point of View
This week was just a blur too me. I felt pain and loss but I didn't dwell on that. Besides, I cry enough already when no one is around.
I felt bad for everyone. Especially the band. They are all anxious because of me. I also felt bad for Camille because she felt bad. She felt guilty because of my over reaction.
Flashback
I was making my way to the cafeteria for lunch, just like every other day that I was away from the bad. I planned to buy food and eat out, like usual.
Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder, I turned around and was face-to-face with a green eyed girl, Camille.
"Bella, can I talk to you for a minute?" she said, her voice quivered a bit. She was actually scared.
"Uhm, sure. Wanna talk outside?" I asked her. I wasn't sure if she was going to be civil so might as well talk out so that no attention would be on us. But had a feeling that she would be good, she's the kind of person who could be friend material, I just know it.
"Of course, Bella. Lead the way." She said then we both walked out of the cafeteria. I noticed that Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett and Edward's eyes were on us. I decided to brush it off.
"So, what is it?" I asked her with and encouraging smile as we sat on the grass of our school's football field.
"Bella, please don't be that nice. I just feel worse…" she said softly.
"What? Why?" I asked her, genuinely confused.
"Bella, because of me, you're broken, Edward is a mess, your group is wrecked and Tanya is dancing with joy! I ripped you and Edward apart, don't even deny it. I wanted to talk to you to ask for forgiveness. I didn't know what the results of my actions would have been. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry because I see now what happened because of meI'm sorry for letting Tanya use me. I just wanted to be part. I just wanted to belong because I was new, you know? I just hope you forgive me in time." She said quietly.
I didn't know what to say so I tackled her into a hug, making us both laugh.
"You're forgiven, Camille. Thank you. It's my fault anyway, I over reacted." I said.
End Flashback
I sighed at the memory, Camille was a good person. Tanya and her group didn't deserve such a good person. She deserved better. And I feel light, we're friends now.
Right now, I'm writing another song after school. The others were making music downstairs, I think they were done because I couldn't hear anything but rain.
*knock, knock*
"I won't going shopping, Alice." I said with a groan, expecting that the person behind my door was Alice so I was startled when I heard Emmett's low voice.
"I'm not that particularly vertically challenged pixie, Bells. I hate shopping anyway, can I talk to you?" he asked.
"Is anyone with you?" I asked Emmett.
"No one is. They all went home early today. And Alice is still in the music room" he said .
"Sure, come in then."
"So, spill." I said as I flopped down on my bed and Emmett sat on the couch. Emmett's face became serious as well as his tone.
"Bella, I hate seeing you, Edward and hell, even everyone like this. I've seen Edward in bad conditions before. I've seen how he was when he left you in the orphanage. He was devastated and angry at the world from being separated from you. It was someone broke his guitar and piano in front of him. I personally thought that that was his worse. But he proved me wrong this week, it seemed like all hell broke loose. Bella, he needs you. I know this among all people because I was there the first time he lost you. When he saw you again, his empty eyes began to sparkle, his smiles weren't forced. He would play Guitar Hero with me. We'd write songs together. Hell, we'd even try to cook together for Esme, even with no avail. He can't lose you again or it'll cause him to loose his sanity, seriously Bells. He just misses you so much. Hell, he loves you! He said it himself…" he trailed off.
After he said that, I felt tears in my eyes. I've hurt Edward big time along with everyone else. I feel so bad. I always had him dragged down with me. When I lost him before, he was sad as well but I think he suffered the most. Now, he's sad that he broke my heart, he's guilty for ever hurting me. I love him more than anything in the universe combined. That much was clear and I needed for it to be known. I needed to tell him, fast before he actually hurts himself too much.
Actually, I try my best to keep myself from jumping on Edward at school. I was never mad at him, I just needed to think. And I can't believe I'm saying this but, all thanks to Emmett, I know what to do now. For me, for Edward, for everyone.
"Emmett. I'm not mad at him. I just needed some space, you see? It's just that…I don't know what to feel anymore. And now, you made me realize that I don't need anymore thinking. Thank you, Emmett. I know you might be confused but do you know when I can talk to Edward as soon as possible?" I asked, tears still rolling down my cheeks from my eyes.
Emmett's face suddenly broke into a really creepy grin.
"Thank you Bella, so much. Oh, I know when you could see Edward. You could come around ten thirty later. Just stand and wait by the door, he'll come out. Trust me." He said while he hugged me.
"Are you sure?" I asked him, totally confused. I mean, I'm just going to stand and wait in front of their door.
"Totally! Like, super! Have faith in me, little sis!" he squealed like a girl as he made his way out of my room, making me laugh.
Now all I need to do now is think of how I would talk to Edward and stay up until ten to start walking. Well that's an easy list, hell no!
Emmett's Point of View
Thank God. That was actually easy. I knew Bella was a person who didn't hold any grudges. But I wasn't sure that she would actually listen to me. I mean, I am the Emmett Cullen after all.
Thank God for me! I actually fixed something. I'm such a good person. Now…I need to go home, I want some of those baked macaroni Esme promised to make me tonight.
So? What did you guys think? Do you have any suggestions? I would really love to hear them and if I use your suggestion, I'll give you all credit! Especially for the dance set-up! I have ideas for it since "Mid Summer Nights Dream" was our Prom theme, but still.
Please review and tell me how you feel! I love reading your reviews and PMs! :D I feel appreciated! :))
Love,
C.
