Our Sweet Bella

Chapter 36

Angela's POV (New POV for this story, had no idea how else to do this chapter)

Bella had told me, she was going to tell Edward that she was in love with him and I was stuck at home until Bella returned to tell me the whole story. I knew Bella was nervous, but she has no reason to be, anyone who had seen them together would know that they were crazy about each other. Unfortunately Bella was taking her sweet time getting over here. I long does it take to tell someone that they loved them, this was plain torture.

At about 5 o'clock Bella decided to bless me with her presence she walked into my bedroom and slumped herself beside me on the bed, with the biggest grin on her face, I had ever seen on Bella. This was proof that things went well between her and Edward, but she wanted her suspicions confirming.

"Tell me everything?" I demanded.

"Tell you what, I just hung out at the Cullen house and I had dinner there," she said trying to keep the grin of her face.

"You are so infuriating, I know you Bella and that smile doesn't come from just hanging with the Cullen's all day, actually I don't think I have ever seen a smile like that come from you ever." Bella turned her head like that was going to stop me asking. "Oh come on Bella, your killing me over here?"

"What do you want to know?" Bella asked.

"Everything, I mean it, every single detail, leave anything out and you die," I said smiling brightly as well now. Bella signed. "Wait a second." I said pulling my pillow up resting on the wall and grabbing a bowl of popcorn that I grabbed for the movie, this was going to be more entertaining than the movie.

"Are you ready now?"

"Just getting comfortable, carry on," I said waving my hand for her to carry on.

"Well I went to the Cullen's house and I made out that I just wanted to hang out with them, even though I was all dressed up. Rosalie didn't believe me, she saw right through me," Bella started before I cut her off.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, get to the good stuff, when I said tell me everything I meant everything that happened when you finally alone."

"Fine then, I convinced Edward to come and take a walk with me. We went to this private meadow that he found. You should see it Angela it's amazing, it's covered in flowers and is totally secluded. Anyway, it took me a while to you know to get the courage to tell him. I was convinced he was going to blow me off and say that I was his sister, but the opposite happened." Look at that smile, I loved seeing Bella like this, I was a shame this couldn't off happened earlier.

"Before you knew it I was admitting everything to him. I didn't think about it for once, I just acted, everything that I have been feeling for months came out, and it's amazing he understood me."

"What did he say to that?" I asked shoving another piece of popcorn in my mouth absentmindedly.

"Well he didn't say anything for ages, well it felt like ages. Well you know me, I have no patience for something that important so I demanded an answer from him, not caring if he told me that he didn't feel the same way about me, but the," Bella paused for a second, for dramatic effect. I was in no mood for that I grabbed the pillow next to me and whacked her with it. "Fine I'll continue, after minutes of silence, after constantly going over in my head the possible outcomes. Edward just sat there as beautiful as ever, while I was dying inside, thinking did he love me too…"

"For god sakes Bella, tell me what the hell happened."

"He didn't say anything, he just kissed me," Bella said finally and I squealed loudly in delight, throwing the bowl of popcorn in my lap flying everywhere while I jumped up excited. Honestly I don't usually react like this but if you have been witness to the Edward and Bella story for months now, both of them obviously in love, but neither of them willing to say anything. It gets annoying fast, so when they finally kiss I defy anyone not to be excited. Shows how sad I am I didn't act like this when Ben asked me out even though I had fancied him for ages.

"Finally," I shouted.

"I know, he told me everything. How he has been developing feelings for me since we met up again months ago. The same as me he tried to deny his feelings, but he was struggling and was waiting for a perfect time to tell me that he loved me too." Bella's smile was massive now and I was jealous, god only if Ben was more like that, I mean Ben is great but he never tells me anything like that.

"Bloody hell, he's romantic. Did you say that his brothers were married?" I asked, might as well try.

"Yes, happily married," Bella said giggling and I groaned. "Don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Yes, but Ben does nothing like that for me, I might as well give it a shot. Why is all the good one's taken?"

"Ben is one of the good ones," Bella answered and I nodded in agreement.

"Yeah he is, but he doesn't look like Edward, oh well a girl could dream. So are you and Edward an official couple?"

"I think so, we did tell his family right afterwards," Bella said making a face when she said it.

"That's a good sign. How did they take it?" I asked, but knowing what Bella has told me about the Cullen's they would be really happy for them.

"Well his parents took it well and so did Alice, Jasper seemed alright about it as well, it was Emmett and Rosalie who were the problem."

"Were both of them angry?"

"Emmett wasn't angry; actually he took it well, a bit too well actually. Emmett actually responded in his usual way, he made a load of jokes and then he tried to give Edward sex advice. That didn't make Rosalie happy," Bella said and I laughed, that's all you want is someone you consider a brother a give you sex advice. "It's not funny, it's embarrassing."

"I beg to differ. What did he tell you?" I asked interested.

"I can't believe you just asked me that," Bella said disgusted I smiled and shrugged. "Rose completely freaked out and started shouting that we couldn't date each other and she'd stop it. She looked about ready to kill someone."

"But I thought you Rosalie were really close. Does she think that you're not good enough for him?" I asked. Which was crazy Edward was lucky to have a girl like Bella.

"The opposite actually, she thought I deserved better. Which is ridiculous because well you've seen Edward, he can have any girl he wants and well he picked me, I just don't know why." This was one thing Bella always did that annoys me, she puts herself down and it was hard to show Bella her worth. Yes Edward was gorgeous but so was Bella.

"You really don't get it Bella, he chose you and only he knows why, you should be gloating not questioning. Imagine Jessica's and Lauren's face when you come to school with Edward on your arm." I started imagining their faces, now that would be entertaining.

"Not going to happen, after everything between me and Mike, I just want to keep it quiet." I could tell Bella now that was never going to happen; this was high school we were talking about.

"Well good luck with that," I said not really meaning it, nothing was going to keep this quiet. Gossip this good would come out sooner than later. I'll give it a week, before the whole school was talking about it.

XOXOXOXOXOX

Well apparently my prediction of the whole school knowing by the end of the week was wrong. The whole school knew by the next day and as I said, gossip spreads as fast as a forest fire, especially in a school as small as Forks. With girls like Lauren and Jessica, the school knew by lunch time. Poor Bella never had a chance.

If Bella didn't want people to know, then she shouldn't have accepted the lift to school with Edward the next day. Edward had turned up the next day asking Bella if she needed a ride, he also asked me but I could tell that he was just doing it to be polite, so I declined. The two of them would want to be alone and not want me to be the third wheel. Now I knew why Bella always said no when I asked her if she wanted to come out with me and Ben.

I waited for Bella outside, the school, I looked around for people arriving, wondering who were here. I could see Jessica sitting on the benches. I went to sit next to her, there was no way I was missing Jessica's reaction to Bella's boyfriend.

"Hey Angela, you alright, where's Bella?" Jessica asked not really caring.

"She had a lift with someone else today," I answered. The moment I relayed the news Jessica's attention perked up.

"Really with who, has she got a new boyfriend?" Jessica asked in a rush dying for some gossip to give Lauren and knowing her the whole school.

"You'll see," I replied cryptically, which made Jess angry.

"Does this mean that her and Mike are over for good," and there was Jess's alternative motive for the identity of Bella's new man. Jess wanted Mike all to herself, with Bella out of the way; there would be no reason, why she couldn't start seeing Mike. Jess had been after Mike for years and with Bella in the way, she was never able to get him.

Finally Edward's Volvo pulled into the school gates and already the appearance of the car was attracting attention. This was Forks we weren't used to flashy cars, so when one did show up, it caused a stir especially the boys. I smiled to myself when I saw Edward get out of the car, I looked at Jessica whose mouth dropped open and I swore I saw a bit of drool. Many of the boys were already slowly making their way to the car to get a better look.

"No way," I heard Jessica exclaim when Bella got out of the car. "I thought you said that he was her brother."

"I said like a brother, there not related," I explained quickly. Didn't want people that Bella was dating her brother, how disgusting is that.

"How did Bella bag him?" Jessica asked still staring at Edward.

"You'll have to ask her," I said which made Jess huff in anger but she let it go. I looked over to see Mike making his way over to Edward and Bella with a determined look on his face; he was going to start a scene. Me and Jess jumped up and walked over to them.

"This can't be good," Jess said and I nodded in agreement. "Do you think they'll fight?"

"I hope not. I doubt Edward will let it come to that," I replied. I didn't think Edward was one for starting a scene. Also with it being Bella's ex-boyfriend, he probably wouldn't lay a finger on him.

"I don't think Mike will listen to reason though, look at him he's livid. God he better listen to us, Edward will flatten him." I bet part of Jessica wanted a fight; people would be talking about it for weeks.

We were able to grab Mike by the arm before he made it to Edward and Bella, there was no way Mike was just going to let this go.

"Oh no you don't," I said trying to drag Mike in the opposite direction.

"Have you seen who Bella is with?" Mike asked and I nodded. "I have to stop this she belongs with me." I felt a pang of sympathy for the poor boy, but I still couldn't let him go over there.

"Have you a death wish Mike? He will kill you," Jessica added in for me.

"I can take care of myself," Mike said twisting out of my grasp and carried on walking. It's his funeral.

Mike's POV

How dare he show up with my woman? Yes that's right my woman. It was only a matter of time until me and Bella will be back together. We were like the modern day Romeo and Juliet we belong together, well hopefully without the dying. Ok back on track, the guy was big, well not wrestler big but I could hold my own. According to Ben he had to brothers as well, which could be a problem. Hey Ben and Tyler will back me up, not that I need it. Well time to back out was gone, it was too late, crap what have I gotten myself into.

"Get away from my girlfriend," I shouted at the teenager who looked like he was on steroids, with more confidence than I felt. Don't let him intimidate you, I could do this.

"What do you mean your girlfriend? Didn't she dump you," Edward said glaring at me. Maybe Jessica wasn't being melodramatic; this guy could actually kill me.

"Edward let me deal with him," Bella said putting her hand on his shoulder. How dare she touch him? I really wanted to yank her away from him and take her away, so nothing could tear us away. Oh my god, I sound like a stalker. Anyway I don't think Bella would thank me for that.

"Mike, the last thing I want is to hurt you," Bella said in that sweet voice that I love.

"If you don't want to hurt me then why are you with him?" I said and did my best impression of a snarl, which made Edward laugh. How dare he laugh at me?

"Mike, I thought we'd been through this. I think we're better as friends," Bella tried to explain. Better as friends, couldn't she tell I wanted to be more than friends with her?"

"Bella, I know I was a bad boyfriend, but I'm willing to change, for you, give me another chance." I wasn't beyond begging.

"I'm sorry Mike," Bella said turning away from me. In a moment of desperation I grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Bella please I love you." How couldn't she see that? Edward grabbed my arm of Bella and pushed me away from her, not hard but enough to make me stumble backwards.

"Keep your hands off her," he growled at me, which was a lot more impressive than my weak attempt. I decided to be bold and I pushed him back.

"Come on, I can take you," I said, not really believing it myself.

"Mike don't!" Bella shouted. I didn't listen and carried on pushing, god why couldn't I move him, it was like he was made of stone. Before I could really hurt him, which I would have given the chance, I felt myself being dragged back. I spun around to come face to face with Ben and Tyler.

"What the hell man? I could have taken him," I shouted at them.

"Mike if we didn't have pulled you back he would have killed you," Tyler reasoned.

"I had it under control," I argued.

"That was not under control," Ben pointed out.

"Well where the hell were you two? I could have used some back-up; I thought that's what friends do."

"Not when you're on a suicide mission, then you're on your own," Ben said.

"Besides me and Ben are rubbish fighters, also I saw a glimpse of one of his brothers and there is no way I'm messing with him," Tyler said. Bloody hell my friends are wimps.
