Voices - Cheap Trick
TPOV
I saw him get tackled and stopped myself from acknowledging the fact. I looked down to my fingernails and decided I needed to visit the saloon soon. I was thinking which color I'd choose when I heard female giggling from the side.
Instead of looking up to the side, where the voices were coming from, I looked to the front, where the boys were playing, they all stopped playing and turned to the four girls that had arrived.
I scowled when I recognized them. Rosalie, Bella, Angela and that other little girl were walking this way, the guys already surrounding them which was ridiculous, since they were all taken. They should have been surrounding me and my girls; we were here to get boys. Well, they were; I was here trying to get Edward back.
I saw Bella walking to the middle of the field instead of the bleachers, where her little followers had situated, and saw her sit beside Edward as he rolled on the ground, having stayed there after Emmett jumped on him. I rolled my eyes when I saw him act like a baby and kissed her teasingly, but then when he kissed her for real I felt a pang on my chest, but I couldn't look away. It just hurt too much.
Here in Forks, I may not be the biggest fish in the pond, but I certainly am one of the best. Before, when I lived in California, I was nobody. When my parents got divorced I chose to live with my mom because she was the one moving away to a new city where I could star from zero.
Not only that I was new, fresh meat if you will, but I had the kind of beauty town folks are not used to so it really didn't take much to get noticed. Even though she doesn't know it, Bella rules the girls of the school and it wasn't hard to see this, so when I pretend to be lost on my way to class that first day, she was stupid enough to help me -to let me into her group.
When that happened, the football team had been away at some away game or something. So I didn't know that the bronze-haired god was taken, not that it would have mattered anyway. Months passed before Edward even acknowledged me as something more than one of his girlfriend's friends, but then he did, and that was all I needed.
It was clear he was unhappy, his eyes would get bright when he looked at Bella but then as soon as he turned around he'd take a deep breath and his eyes would become hallow. It was easy, to get him to trust me, although he always kept a distance because I wasn't subtle at all about wanting him, on several times he would hint that he was taken, as if I didn't know already.
It was never really my fault though, how could I not want him? He was -is- the definition of perfection. Not only that he is hot as hell, but his inclination for sports and cocky attitude were a complete turn on.
He was the last step needed to become the 'someone' I had always wanted to be. Problem was, I fell for him.
Next time I looked, Edward hadn't stopped kissing Bella but then she smiled and he pulled apart, resting his forehead on top of hers. No one was watching them, their getting back together was already old news and no one really cared anymore, but my eyes were glued to the scene in front of me. It killed me how gentle he was with her, how he looked blissful after just a kiss; what hurt the most, though, was that he never was like that with me; hell, he barely ever kissed me.
He was just as guilty that the affair progressed the way it did. He looked so panicked that morning after he fell asleep on me while we were fooling around, that I had decided to tell him the truth, that nothing major had happened but he kept avoiding me and giving me lame excuses that I became angry and just let him believe he had cheated on his adored girlfriend. I was going to leave it at that, because my pride was hurt but then he came to me one night, after Bella had left the party we were in, completely drunk and started kissing me. After that, things progressed quickly; one day, Edward was too drunk to drive home so he stayed at my house, unconsciously. It wasn't even slightly romantic, he simply passed out on my bed and at some point during the night he turned and half of his arm ended on top of me, I turned around and looked at his face, and that was all I needed to realize I had fallen for him.
The morning after, he wasn't rude or anything, but he was clearly annoyed because we never spend the night together, however, that night started a routine that would involve him being pretty upset and pretty drunk so he'd drive to my house and tell me he needed me.
He is so convinced that I don't really love him because supposedly I don't know him but, I do. I've been on the side, loving him, for far too long not to know all there is to know. Maybe it's true that Bella knows him a great deal too, but he notices it because they are inconsequential things, like his favorite food or color, with me however he doesn't notice because I know the things he can't just see. I know when to ask, when to push, what to expect, when to expect, and such.
They stood up, bringing me out of my daze, and went to stand with the rest of their friends. Edward stood beside her and wrapped his arms around her, leaning down to whisper something in her ear that made her blush.
I am not that stupid; I always knew there was a difference between what he had with me and what he had with her. Bella is his girlfriend after all, but it had never really bothered me before, because I knew she wasn't putting out and while that lasted, Edward would keep coming back. Yes, there were times in which the guilt would be too much for him and he'd try to stop but he always came back, but now I just wasn't so sure because he looked really into Bella this time around. He didn't look bored anymore.
Someone aww'd mockingly at them and the little black haired girl squealed, pulling out her phone and telling them to do 'that' again. It was so obvious she was a newbie. Edward kissed Bella's cheek and newbie over there took the picture that no doubt will appear on my Newsfeed in couple seconds.
He looked truly happy, which is why I had to step in before it was too late.
I know, it is short but that's why it is just an outtake, later this week I will be posting chapter 36 which will be longer than usual, and fluffier than usual.
Hope you liked this, if you did, would you guys want more outtakes like this?
