Tears seemed to be building up in my new friends eyelids. And it was all because of me, again. "Sweetie," I patted her arm gently, letting out a sad smile. "Thank you for telling me…but I have no reason to care what happens to…" I closed my mouth, not willing to say his name. This time it was out of anger…betrayal and any other words related to it. "Edward."
"Oh I know!" Kirsten was bouncing up and down, a human version of Alice, I thought. "But I thought you wanted to get a head start on embarrassing Nicole." My eyes widened, how could she be saying this? To do something to her own sister?
"I'm sorry." I whispered, my voice as hard as rocks. "But I have nothing against your sister. I hate him and that's it. I refuse to get involved with her. I'm sorry but you have to fight your own battles." I guided her towards the door, seeing that she was ready to pass out. "Should I call you a cab?" I questioned more kindly.
"No!" She glared at my change in emotion. "I can drive myself." Kirsten slammed the door shut and I sighed, going slowly up the stairs where I could hear my husband's tiny snores.
I sat on the edge of our bed, smoothing out Adrien's messy hair. He hadn't bothered to brush it. He was probably too tired. I wished with all my heart that I could drift into sleep once and a while. It scared me to think about Edward and Nicole. I still couldn't believe that she had broken up with him? Why? I still wanted to know. What had he done that was bad enough for her to break up with him? I concentrated on blocking my mind while I curled up into a ball next to Adrien. He stifled another small snore as he rolled over in bed, his arm landing around me. I let out a tiny smile, I felt better now.
The Next morning….
Adrien POV
I woke up feeling fully refreshed. But a sense of dread lingered in my stomach from last night. The look on Bella's face as she broke into fake coughs was scary. As if there was something behind her initial look. Was it sadness? Or maybe happiness? I brushed the last one away. She couldn't be happy. Deep down I knew that there were still feelings for him. I couldn't deny it any longer. But she still loved me. I had fixed her when she was broken. I had taken care of her. I had-
"Good morning Pumpkin." Bella's voice broke my thoughts as I raised my eyebrows.
"I think you're still sick." I mumbled, trying not to laugh. She pouted slightly and crossed her arms.
"So I can't tell my husband good morning?"
"No…no…" I let out a loud chuckle. "Come here you." I chased Bella out of the room and grabbed her around the waist.
"We're going to be late." Bella gasped as I dragged her down with me.
"Mhm sure." I rolled my eyes as her body became less tense. "So…" I didn't know if right now was the best time to confront the matter. "Are you…okay?" I gritted my teeth.
Bella's expression turned hard. "Yes thank you." She stood up pushing my arms away. I groaned, standing up glaring down at Bella.
"I'm just trying to help. God." I slammed the door shut so I could change. I felt ready to punch my fist through the wall. I had once again let my anger get the best of me. But it wasn't totally my fault. Bella had treated me like a complete stranger. Even if my words had double meaning, I could have been talking about health and stuff.
"Adrien, really, I'm sorry." She wrapped on the door lightly with her knuckles. I threw on a random polo Bella had given me for Christmas. I tied the laces of my black converse and opened the door.
"Let's go." I walked paste her, as if she was part of the wall. I grabbed the keys off the kitchen table and started the car. I strummed my fingers on the wheel as Bella slammed the passenger door shut.
"Adrien, please." She asked, and my eyes darted over to Bella. Bella, my Bella, currently my Bella, and she was going to stay that way. "I just...I'm sorry." She said, her eyes begging. She scanned my face, obviously not finding anthing worth pursuing (emotion wise) and leaned against the window, watching the landscape roll by.
"You know, I miss the old days." She whispered, and I almost couldn't hear it. She turned at face me, a small smile on her lips. "THe das where it was just you and me. I really miss that." She said, her smile dissapearing as she looked back out the window.
What am I doing? I'm just sitting here while she pours her heart out. "Life's gotten so...complicated, and I just can't find the time to just be with you any more. I wish I could sto time, and you and me could run off somewhere." She said, and I was sure I wasn't ment to hear.
"I'm sorry, Adrain. You don't want to hear this." She said, and closed her eyes, feeling the vibrations of the car runnign smoothly over the pavement. "I just have to tell someone I love. And I love you more than anyone else." I slammed my hand down on the wheel.
"Then why do you keep syaing it? You keep trying to convince me that you love me, and if you knew anything at all about me, yo would know that I know that."
"But you don't Adrian. You don't trust me. Because of Edward, you think that I love him, and not you. That's not true." She said with strong conviction. "Don't," she said, turning away again, "waste your breath telling me you know."
I shook my head, still watching the road. "You hit the nail on the head, Bella dear." I said, and she sighed.
"I always seem to do that."
