Chapter: 36
It's not long before Bella walks up to my car. "Hey, what's wrong?"
I get out, pulling her into a tight hug. As soon as my arms are around her, I start to feel better.
"Can I come over for a bit?" I feel Bella nod against my chest. I let her go, getting back in my car and following her. When we get there, I spend the next hour talking about what's happening with Tanya. Bella allows me to rant and rave.
"I'm sorry. I'm sure we'll work it out. I mean, there must be a reasonable answer to this."
I sigh, throwing the DNA papers down on her coffee table and close my eyes.
"There is, but this fucking shitty luck I've been having is holding back whatever it is. I swear, right now, you're the only good thing in my life. I just don't think I can take much more."
We talk a little more, and I know I need to go. Bella's heading to Forks tomorrow. Before I know it, she is straddling my lap, and we are making out like horny teenagers. We haven't taken it too far, but we have done just about everything except have actual sex. After spending hours kissing, I leave and head home.
The next day, I receive Bella's text saying she got to Forks. She is there to help with Charlie's little league team. I spend the rest of the day training until Jenks calls me saying Tanya has filed child support paperwork. That call was followed by the coach saying that after the last few months, if I don't get my shit together and stay out of the papers, I will be sent to the triple A team for the rest of the season.
To top it off, Emmett tells me that Bella has been outed, and the press now knows who she is and nearly everything about her. I know that I will have to tell her in person about this. The only good thing is, I will get to hold her in my arms.
I leave to go to Forks, seeing James on the way. I let out a sigh and keep walking. It's not until I get close that I see Bella is standing with him. I stop, a little confused about why she is here. As I look at them, I see that James has one of his arms around her when he leans in with a smirk. I watch in horror as she kisses him and grabs at his hand that is in the air. She walks around him with her own smirk, which drops when she sees me.
I feel my heart break as I look at her. "Edward, I need to tell you something, but let me say everything before you say anything."
I look at her as James puts his arm around her neck, and she shoves him away.
"Too late. I've already seen you kissing him!"
A/N: Oh...No... Yeah looks can be deceiving!
