A/N:

Here's the second part of Edward's POV. It's not as good as any of my other EPOV chapters, and I had to delete this about 100 times over, I swear.
Anyway, enjoy. If possible ;)

I Miss You & I Need You Part II

EPOV

A loud cough interrupted the nearly perfect moment between Bella and me. I spun around quickly, with a pretty good guess of who it was. Of course it had to be Dane. He just wouldn't give up. I glared at him as I kept my cool. Turning back to Bella I searched for an excuse which would be valid enough to get Bella to leave.

"Bella, go get changed and meet me back here, OK?" I said hastily.

She walked away without a single word and headed towards the gym. She didn't even turn back once, as she shuffled down the corridor. I was finally glad to have her gone, just so I could finally loose my temper. Once she was out of sight, Dane's stance changed.

He smirked at me and took a few steps closer. I wasn't in the mood for his immaturity today; he'd pissed me off too much. I could see him clench his fists as he got closer to me.

"I'm not going to fight you, Dane. You're not worth it." I said, coolly.

It was true. But not because I didn't think he was worth it, but because I knew Bella would be disappointed in me. For all I cared I could be expelled as long as I got one punch in there. But I wasn't going to annoy or upset Bella any further today. I just wanted words with Dane that was all.

"No," He smiled, cockily. "She isn't worth it is she?"

I clenched my fists as I walked closer towards him. Our postures were now matched so faultlessly that it was like looking in a mirror.

"Oh, she's worth it alright. It's you who isn't." I spat.

"Give it a week, and you'll be saying it too, once you realise how frigid she is." He smirked darkly.

"We'll see about that." I smiled, not sinking down to his level of mind games.

I knew it would be him who would come crawling back to Bella once he realised he'd lost her. It would sink in eventually, and I personally couldn't wait until the day he did, just so I could laugh in his face when Bella turned him down. He and Karla deserved each other.

"I'll get that bitch back, Edward. She'll be begging for me soon enough and I'll be waiting for her." He said with confidence. I wanted to knock it right out of him.

I pushed him roughly and watched as his back banged harshly against the wall. I grabbed the front of his shirt and dragged him slightly forward.

"You even so much as talk to Bella once more, I'll make sure you never see daylight again. And you know me well enough Dane to know I'm not joking." I threatened.

Dane understood well enough, and knew better than to test my threats. On more than one occasion I'd followed through with threats, making sure people knew my threats were all but empty. I'd let that go now, and made sure it was all in my past, but Dane didn't need to know that. As long as I had him believing it, that was all that mattered.

Dane pulled away from me and sauntered silently out of the clear glass doors. I watched him disappear around the corner. I leaned backwards against the door behind me and waited for Bella to return again. She glared accusingly as she came jogging down the corridor towards me.

"What did you do?" She asked with allegation.

I smirked, shaking my head at her. She didn't need to know what had gone down between Dane and I, not that anything really had. A few threats weren't a big deal, and it was better that Bella let her imagination work it out.

People started flooding out of their classrooms now ready to leave school and go home. I quickly remembered my plan from earlier, and realised how possible it was. I had thought it was a silly idea at the time, and had decided to forget about it, but with a few tweaks here and there, it was perfect. Bella needed to know that she could trust me, and that I really wasn't the same guy I used to be.

I grabbed her hand and quickly rushed to the parking lot with her. Everybody was still hanging about and talking as we got outside. It was the perfect scene and moment. I looked around for Bella's truck, instantly noticing its trashy makeover.

I looked at it in disgust, and wondered what was running through her mind when she had it done. But looking over at her own disgusted glare, it was obvious she had not been the one behind this.

"I'll get Jake to fix all that up for you." I said with a frown.

I knew other places would fix her truck up almost perfectly, but it was obvious Bella would only want one person fixing it for her. It would probably take me a while to convince Jake to do this for me, considering how much he didn't like me. But I'd get it done, somehow.

"Tell him I'll pay him double if he can get the smell back for me." Bella frowned.

I shook my head at her, without thinking too much about it. I couldn't, and I don't think anybody but Bella could smell anything out of the ordinary. God only knows what goes on in her mind. She's one of a kind, that's for sure.

I took my backpack off my shoulders and threw it into the back of the truck as I rummaged around in it for a particular item. Once I'd found the note, I kept it hidden from Bella's vision.

The note hadn't ever left my bag. I'd kept it inside my pencil case ever since that day in class, in hope that she'd one day ask for it. But I couldn't wait around anymore; I was just going to have to show her on my own accord. Hopefully, she still wanted to know what I thought about her.

I jumped up on the truck then and climbed swiftly to the roof of it. Bella looked at me in shock as everybody suddenly turned my way, wondering what was happening.

"What are you doing?" She asked with a giggle. "Get down."

"Nope," I said, smiling back at her. "I'm doing something I should have done a long time ago."

I whistled to get the attention of anyone who wasn't already watching me. They all came closer, forming a huge crowd around the truck. Bella was at the front, looking more frightened than ever.

I smiled at her, and looked her straight in the eye. I showed her the note, as I twisted it around in my hand.

"You remember this don't you?" I asked seriously.

Bella looked at me in shock as she eyed the note in my hand very carefully. From the look of shock and anxiousness on her face, it was obvious she did.

"What are you doing?" She asked, frantically.

There was a slight pinch of worry tickling the smile on her face.

"You asked me if I thought you were prettier than Jessica." I said, looking over at the blonde haired fake in the back. Her face was swollen and bruised. I quickly wondered who had done that to her, just so I could personally thank them.

"Don't." Bella whispered. She looked worried and almost broken with hurt. I ignored her, knowing that it would be only a few seconds until she learnt the truth.

"Now Jessica… I think you're a very pretty girl. Really." I said, looking over at the girl in the back.

No matter how much I hated her, and how Malibu Barbie she was, I couldn't deny the truth. Jessica was pretty, and she most likely always would be. That's why she got so many guys, and that's why I fell for her in the first place. But her looks didn't achieve anything compared to the girl I was crazy for.

Jessica looked over at Bella with a smirk. I was eager to wipe that dirty smirk off her face once and for all.

"But not prettier than Bella," I carried on. "She will alwaysbe the prettiest girl I have ever seen."

Jessica's smirk was destroyed as the words fell on her ears.

I jumped down from the roof of Bella's truck, into the back part of it. I bent down so I could reach Bella, who'd shuffled closer to me. I passed her the note, and let her read it herself. The words echoed beautifully as she read them aloud.

"You have to ask that? Bella you're beautiful." She said, repeating my own written words.

A few people in the crowd sighed in happiness behind Bella, as the others cheered and applauded us both. I hadn't been expecting a reaction from them, over than a few jerks taking the piss. It was great, as well as weird, to see everyone cheer for us. I'd always thought people would hate Bella and me being together. It's a shame it took me this long to realise the truth, as well as how much I didn't care what they thought regardless.

Bella smiled as a flush of red stained her cheeks. She held her hand out to me as she pulled herself up onto the truck. I helped her get up, almost afraid she'd fall or something. Her clumsiness was a hazardous talent at times.

"I trust you." She whispered with a smile.

"Good." I said as I leaned in and tenderly kissed her on the lips. I'd been waiting forever to do that again.

"PARTY AT MINE!" Emmett shouted loudly.

If there was one way to celebrate this moment, it was with a party. And Emmett knew that better than anyone. Emmett jumped up in the air and winked at Bella as she looked over at him. Everybody cheered and left to get ready for the party at mine.

"You ready to party?" I laughed as I asked Bella.

"Aww, no!" She groaned. "Parties and I don't get along. I either end up drunk, injured from dancing or going home with a new boyfriend."

I smirked as I remembered the first two from her list, which had been the better of the three situations. However side-splittingly funny it was to see Bella scream at a rock and steal my bed for the night, I'd have to watch her with the drinks this time.

"Well, the boyfriend one won't be a problem no more," I smirked. "And I'll keep you away from the drinks this time."

She scowled, "That still leaves the dancing..."

"I can't help you with that one," I laughed, shaking my head. "But I don't think it's your dancing we have to worry about."

"Who else dances like an injured... frog?" She asked. She was dead serious about this too.

I was amazed that she hadn't already witnessed Emmett's embarrassing dance moves. Next to him, Bella looked like a professional.

"If you've ever seen a bear attack on television, you should be able to visualize Emmett dancing." I said, scrunching up my nose. It was a ridiculous description and did not do the actual visual of it any justice at all, but it fit perfectly.

Bella looked around for my car as we both jumped down from her truck. I didn't realise Alice had taken it since I didn't get a reply to my text. But my car had definitely gone. I quickly looked down at my phone, and opened up the new text I'd received from Alice.

I sure will. Bella and I may not be talking, but what you did for her was amazingly cute. I'm so glad you're both sorted now!

I smiled at the text and put my phone back in my pocket. I'd have to do something about Alice and Bella. They really needed to quit the war now and just get back to being great friends. They were both stubborn and pretty bitchy, so it would be a hard task. But, I'd do anything to re-establish the peace. Especially if it meant I didn't have to sneak around my own house with Bella.

"Alice drove it home for me, so I guess I'm going with you." I smiled, as I reassured her that my car hadn't been kidnapped or something.

She smiled and got in the truck, ready to go. I jumped in the passenger side and grinned over at her as we drove out of the parking lot.

I had a long way to go, and I was nowhere near being a perfect guy. I still had a whole lot to make up for. But, just to be given the chance was enough.

"Bella, you have neverbeen merely pretty." I smiled, shaking my head.

Bella smiled shyly as she took the note out of her pocket and dangled it out of the window. After a short-lived second she set it free and it fluttered away in the blustery weather. She grinned as the wind blew her hair around. I couldn't help but smile at her.

I didn't know the future, but I did know that I was most likely going to mess up a few times and get myself into preventable circumstances and a whole lot of trouble. But none of that mattered anymore, because in the end, I got the girl I'd been in love with for a pretty lengthy time.

I'd even go as far as saying that I had got my own Happily Ever After. Corny, or what?

Reviews would be dead lovely ;)
Now, I'm hoping to get the rest of my stories and that up to date since I've slacked a bit on all of them. But, if you guys want an Epilogue, I'm more than happy to write one. Tell me if you want one, if most of you do, one will be out very soon ;)

If not, I've had a well good time writing SMMTE, and I'm super sad I have to end it ); But, I wanna thank you all again for reviewing, it means so much to me!
You're all amazing and that stuff.
