Edward's POV

There was a loud, collective gasp around me, but I didn't care. This moment was one of pure bliss. I felt Bella slide her arms around my neck and pull me towards her.

"Edward" A voice screeched from somewhere behind me.

I pulled away from Bella slowly. My lips tingled; I could still feel her lips against mine. Her hands were still locked around my neck, while my hands rested on her hips. I opened my eyes and met Bella's chocolate ones. There was a smile on our faces.

Suddenly someone grabbed my arm and yanked me backwards, breaking the trance. The surprise caused me to stumble back. I turned and saw that it was Tanya. There was a steady stream of tears sliding down her face. Guilt automatically consumed me.

"How could you?" She sobbed.

"Tanya, I'm so sorry. This wasn't supposed to happen like this."

"How long has this been going on?" Tanya screamed.

I sputtered for a second, I was doing everything wrong.

He can't have her!

A thought shouted louder than the rest.

"Tanya, I'm sorry."

"Sorry?" She shouted.

I looked backwards, trying to find Bella. She looked back with wide eyes, as Jordan pulled her through the crowd.

"Tanya I never meant to hurt you." I said quietly.

Everyone was staring between me, Tanya, and Jordan pulling Bella away. Did we really cause that big of a scene? The tears continued down Tanya's face, causing her eye liner to run. I was stuck between trying to handle Tanya and following Bella.

"Tanya, can we talk at my house after school?" I asked. She didn't answer me, but her thoughts practically screamed yes. "I'll see you there" I said.

I spun and went in the direction Bella had disappeared from. The late bell rang and the halls cleared out quickly. There was no sign of Bella or Jordan. I groaned angrily and stormed to gym.

"Can you see her?" I asked Alice, walking behind her on the volley ball court.

She shook her head and hit the ball as it soared towards us.

"Is she hiding it?"

"I don't think so. It just doesn't seem like anything is happening."

I sighed and slid off of the court.

"Cullen!" The coach's voice boomed.

I turned and walked up to him at the same time as the rest of my family.

"I meant Edward" The coach sighed.

"You gotta be more specific." Emmett said laughing. The only reason he could get away with this was because he was the best football player in the school.

"Well while you're all here would you mind telling me where Isabella is? I haven't seen her in two days, is she okay?"

Everyone was quiet for a second, trying to think of an excuse to keep Bella out of trouble.

"She went home early, she wasn't feeling well. Bella doesn't like doctors so she just wanted to go home and lay down for a little while. I think she's getting the flu, our mother is taking care
of her so she doesn't have to go to the hospital." We were all surprised that it was Rosalie that spoke up. It was no secret that Rosalie didn't like Bella.

Coach nodded. We all walked away, I narrowly avoided being lectured about the importance of being on time. I sat on the bleachers and waited for the bell to ring. When it rang I walked out
with my family.

"Good luck" Alice said as I walked to my car and she went to her own. "Oh and wait a few before you leave"

Alice said swiftly before getting in her car and disappearing. It wasn't wise to argue with Alice. I looked and saw Tanya look at me before getting in her car. She would wait for me to pull out in front of her.

"Thanks for waiting for me" Bella's voice said meekly, making me jump.

I jumped and looked at her as she went around to the passenger's side.

"What happened to your lip?" I asked, noticing it was red and had a small cut on it.

Bella looked at me and smiled softly.

"I'll tell you later"

She sat in the car and I followed. The ride was quiet, except for the music playing softly. I thought back to when Bella showed interest in classical music and smiled. I glanced at Bella and saw her softly sucking on her cut bottom lip.

We got home after everyone else. Alice must have cleared out the living room for me; I'd have to thank her later. Tanya walked up to me and thought about grabbing my hand. I held my hands together in front of me to prevent it.

"Bella, do you want to talk with us? This does kind of involve you." I asked, looking towards her.

"No thanks" she said with a faraway look in her eyes.

I sighed and sat next to Tanya as Bella made her way upstairs.

"Emmett!" I heard her call disappearing on the second floor.

"So, Tanya" I started quietly. I didn't know what to say, so I went with that. "I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything" She whispered quietly. "Where's Esme?"

"She's shopping" I said without thinking about it. Esme texted me this morning about how she'd be home late and so would Carlisle. She left money on the counter for dinner.

"Good. Let's go to your room."

Tanya's thoughts were way in the gutter.

"Maybe we should stay down here" I said eyeing her.

"I like privacy" She said, moving close to me.

"Whoa Tanya" I said getting up from the couch. "Calm down. We are not having sex" I continued seriously.

"Why not? You don't even kiss me and we've been together for like a week! Are you sleeping with Bella? You kissed her with no problem, in front of everyone! Is she your real girlfriend? You
know she fucked Jordan right? She's a slut!"

I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

"No I have not had sex with Bella, no she is not my girlfriend, and if she did or didn't it's none of your business. Not only that, she may have had sex with one boy and she's a slut? How many guys have you slept with?"

Tanya got up and looked at me angrily but didn't answer.

"It's over, in case you didn't know. Please leave."

Tanya looked at me angrily. I heard footsteps on the stairs, but didn't look away from Tanya.

"You can't do this, we belong together." She said through clenched teeth.

"No we don't. I didn't even really like you, I felt bad because you kept begging and begging!" I said, deciding to be honest.

I was surprised when I felt her slap me and for a moment I saw red. I raised my hand to slap her back but looked up. I saw the look of fear on Bella and Alice's face and Emmett walked down the stairs. I dropped my arm quickly, in shame.

"Tanya, get out now!" I yelled.

I looked at her just in time to see her spin and leave the room.

"Bro, calm down" Emmett said, speaking up first.

I looked up and saw that Alice looked calmer as she walked up the stairs and Bella looked at me warily. He bottom lip was still angry red around the cut.

"Bella what happened to your lip" I asked a little harsher than I meant to.

"Edward, go for a run and calm down" Emmett said seriously.

"Bella" I said, ignoring Emmett.

"Edward, you need to go!" Emmett said louder. "You're going to upset her" He said quietly so she couldn't hear. "You're going to make her scared of you again."

I knew Emmett was right from the look of fear that was making its way back into Bella's eyes. I spun and dashed out of the house. A run should do me good.

Author's Note: I tried to make it so you could actually see that these are seperate paragraphs. If you dont like this new spacing just tell me. Or if it didnt work =)

We have finally gotten rid of Tanya. I felt I should include her even though I REALLY don't like her! Plus I think she played a semi-important role. Now that obstacle is gone. I'm thinking about bringing the story to an end soon. At least Edward is getting better with anger management. I am thinking about revealing Edward's past in the next chapter. Reviews motivate me… Plus I would love to hear suggestions.
