I'm almost at the bleachers when a familiar arm wraps around me from behind and I'm picked up and carried off.

I try to wrestle out of his hold but he's too strong, holding me tight. I open my mouth to scream, but Edward's warm palm covers me quickly, and my shriek comes out muffled.

'Listen to me, okay, just let me talk to you.' Edward murmurs in my ear.

I kick my legs trying to get out of his hold but he doesn't let me go. I gasp as he slams me into the door of the gym, pinning me with his body as he inputs the code, his hand still covering my mouth.

I buck against him but he's twice my weight easily and not going anywhere. My traitorous body reacts to feeling his against me, and tears overflow from my eyes, heavy and hot as they rush down my cheeks to his hand.

He moves his hand from my mouth, his body tensing behind me. 'Baby, please don't cry.' He says brokenly, 'I just need to talk to you.'

'Let…me…go.' I choke out.

The door opens and he pulls me inside, shutting it behind him and leaning against it, wrapping his arms around me. I try to get out of his hold, but he hugs me tight.

'You're hurting me.' I lie, triumph rushing through me as he lets me go. I dart for the door and the next thing I know my front is pressed against it and he's pinning me there with his body, his chest against my back.

I start to shriek and he covers my mouth again with his palm. 'Fuck Bella! Would you just fucking let me talk?' He growls in my ear, his voice low.

I whimper into his palm and he sighs, removing it from my mouth. 'Are you gonna stop fighting me?' He asks tiredly.

'Fine.' I snap, shoving him back again.

This time he lets me go, but he moves forwards instead of backwards, leaning against the door, preventing me from leaving. His bright green eyes meet mine. 'I'm sorry for being rough, just let me explain.'

I glare at him and cross my arms.

Edward sighs, running his hand down his face. 'When I got downstairs after you left yesterday, my parents told me that it was a really important meeting with the Denali's, so I decided to wait to break up with her until after her parents had left….' His eyes burn into mine, 'Which I did….by the way baby. I broke up with her.'

My heart jumps in my chest and I swallow, my eyebrows knitting together.

'She freaked,' Edward mutters, his jaw tightening. 'It's not because she cares,' he laughs humourlessly, 'she just didn't want me to be the one to dump her, especially with how I'm basically a charity case, now my dad's on house arrest.' His eyes narrow. 'Her words, not mine. She said…' he sighs again, 'she wanted to be the one to break up with me, and she wanted to do it here, at school, so everyone would know it was her idea and…' Edward grips his hair, 'I said yeah, because, I was trying to be a good fucking guy and…I cheated on her, with you, and fuck, she doesn't - we don't care about each other, we never have, and I know she's a bitch, and vapid and fucking annoying, but I fucked you when I was supposed to be with her and her dad is – anyway, I agreed Bella. I said okay. She wanted to do it in the cafeteria at lunch, with everyone there. This morning was just her making sure it looked like I was still into her.' He rolls his eyes. 'It's her fucking plan, I'm just…trying to appease her. It's better that she doesn't hate me.'

I search his eyes, my heart racing in my chest. 'I don't…you didn't text.'

Edward nods, leaning his head back against the door and I realise then how tired he looks, his eyes completely bloodshot, shadows under his eyes so dark they look bruised. My stomach twists, did he sleep at all? 'Yeah well…my parents weren't pleased that I broke up with her. I'm grounded. They locked my fucking balcony door and took the key, and they took my phone. I'm not even allowed my fucking car keys.' He growls, his fists clenching and unclenching. 'My mom dropped me here this morning. I wanted to call you, to sneak out to you, but I had no way to contact you, or get to you. I'm not joking about them basically locking me in my room baby. I've been given me today to fix it with her and if I don't…shit is gonna hit the fan.'

'Why?' My voice is quiet.

Edward studies me for a second before closing his eyes and sighing. 'Because…because Tanya's dad is helping keep mine out of jail right now, and once he finds out that I broke up with her, that I ended things with his baby – that ends.'

My stomach drops, 'Wha - why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me the stakes were so high, that ending it with her would…'

Edward's eyes open and he swallows, his jaw jumping. 'Because I didn't want you to run, because it's worth it for you Bella, because I-' He cuts himself off as I widen my eyes, my heart faltering for a moment before it starts beating frantically in my chest.

I breathe in and out slowly. 'So…you're broken up?'

Edward nods, staring into my eyes. 'Yes.'

Relief floods me, my knees feeling weak all of a sudden. 'I...I thought…'

His face seems to crumple, his green eyes sad as they survey me. 'How could you think that? How could you not even give me a second to explain? I've told you how I feel about you…I…' His voice cracks, 'you don't trust me?'

Fresh tears run down my cheeks. 'I…'

Edward presses his palm against his face. 'Seeing your face Bella, it fucking killed me. I just…I ran off after you and she's probably gonna be so fucking pissed.' He slides to the floor, resting his head in his hands, 'I hoped by helping her she'd get her dad to…but she won't now.'

I feel a sharp twist in my belly.

Maybe I shouldn't have run.

But running is all I know.

My hands shake. 'Edward…I'm so-

'It's my fault.' His voice is tired. 'I thought you'd trust that I…or at least let me explain.'

My throat closes up and I step up to him cautiously, lowering to my knees. 'I'm s-sorry.'

Sorry means sorry, not I'll never do it again.

I don't trust. Not even him.

But I...

I want to.

He lifts his head up, his eyes shining and pulls me to him, kissing my tears away with his warm mouth. 'It's okay baby.' He wraps his arms around me, and I sob into his neck.

'I just t-thought.'

'Shh, I know.' He murmurs in my hair, kissing my head. 'I'm not just fucking around with you, it's more. You know that, even if you're not ready for me to say-'

I freeze in his arms and he sighs heavily. 'I'm sorry I…pinned you against the wall like that, that was…I was just freaking out that you were gonna run and not let me talk to you and I just…I need you to fucking breathe.'

I hold him tighter. 'Me too.' I tell him quietly, placing a kiss on his neck.

His body stills for a second and then I feel him smile into my hair, a soft laugh coming from his mouth.

I pull back and frown at him, 'What?'

He shrugs. 'It's just…you kissed me,' he grins a little.

My eyebrows furrow even more, 'Wh…but I always kiss you.'

Edward's green eyes bore into mine, his cheeks flushed pink. My heart stutters in my chest at the sight of him, he looks…adorable. The thought surprises me and I find myself swallowing. Edward's mouth opens and then closes, his lips curving up more as he ducks his head slightly, 'Not like that. Never like that.'

I shift awkwardly. Don't I? I try to think of a time that I've given him affection outside of sex, and come up short. He kisses me, but I never kiss him. He hugs me, and I hug back, but never make the first move. I only take, and he gives and gives. I feel a wrenching sensation in my chest. 'I'm…I…'

Edward reaches out to run his thumb across my jaw, smiling. 'It's okay. I know…' he breathes out.

I swallow, then lean in and kiss his warm cheek, pulling back quickly, my own cheeks heating.

Edward's face breaks out into a beautiful smile and I feel my heart swell in my chest, expanding and expanding. It's beating fast too, so quickly I'm almost afraid it's going to burst out of me and take off, flying high into the sky.

'You're fucking adorable, you know that?' Edward hums, his thumb brushing my bottom lip. 'Adorable and so fucking beautiful.'

My lips part at the feel of his warm thumb against my lip and my breath catches. Edward's eyes darken as they drop to my mouth and I run my tongue across the pad of the digit, staring at him under my eyelashes. His burning green eyes meet mine and he swallows, pulling his thumb back and sucking it into his mouth. I move towards him at the same time he leans forwards, and our mouths meet hungrily.

I whimper as he pulls me into his lap, and I straddle his lean hips, my body arching at the feel of his cock, thick and already hard between my legs. Edward's large hand tangles in my hair but the kisses he gives me are new, different. His wet tongue teases at my bottom lip, little licks that send hot spikes of fire through my body. I whimper into his mouth, copying him as I run the length of my tongue across his soft top lip. Edward groans into my mouth and then his lips part, his tongue meeting mine in a slow sensual, wet lick. The taste of him explodes in my mouth, mint and coffee and the unique flavour that's just him.

I tilt my head as I wrap my tongue around his, a spike of pleasure stabbing between my legs at the feel of that slick muscle licking and sucking, swirling in my mouth. I feel a heaviness settle between my legs and I rock myself over him, the material of my leggings thin enough to let me feel how fucking hard he is, pressing against the seam of his jeans. His nails gently scratch at my scalp, sending tingles down my spine as he grips my ass, groaning low in his throat.

We break away needing to breathe and Edward kisses along my jaw, nipping at it as he gently rolls his hips up into me, rubbing his cock against my aching center. I tilt my neck back as he licks it, his tongue rough and wet and so warm against my skin. Edward groans. 'You're so fucking beautiful baby,' he murmurs, his voice low and raspy. 'I really want to fuck you.'

'Edward,' I pant, circling my hips over him, my body acting of its own accord, desperate for friction, desperate for him.

He hums as his burning hand slips under my shirt, warm fingertips skimming up my bare back and sending trails of fire up my spine. 'I love it when you moan my name,' he says huskily. 'Sounds so fucking hot.'

I whimper, my hand going to his soft hair and pulling back. He laughs, low and deep, but lets me expose his throat as I lick up his neck, the taste of his skin soap and salt, sweat and honey. He always tastes so good, but it's different today. He used to taste like sin, cloying and forbidden, now he tastes like sunshine, sweetness and warmth.

My heart pounds in my chest. He broke up with her. He's not with her anymore.

I bite his angular jaw, shivering at the low groan he lets out, his large palms tightening on my ass, guiding my body over his stiff cock, rubbing firmly against my clit and sending hot pulses of pleasure between my legs.

'You're mine.' I find myself murmuring into his ear, nipping his lobe.

Edward freezes and I gasp as he moves forwards suddenly, my back hitting the cold floor as he crawls on top of me, his arms resting either side of my head. 'Fuck Bella….' He laughs huskily, settling between my legs, his cock throbbing against my wet core. 'Do you have any idea how fucking amazing that sounds coming from your mouth baby?" he drops his mouth to my ear as he slides his hot hand under my top and palms my bare breast in his large hand, his hips rocking slowly over mine. 'Fuck,' he growls, 'I'm all yours baby, and you're mine, aren't you?'

I whimper, arching into his body. 'I've always been yours.' I pant.

'Mmm.' Edward growls, his mouth crashing to mine. The floor is cool and hard against my back, but I can barely feel it, the warmth from his body scorching me on the inside and out, every part of me burning with need as he devours me with his wet, hungry kisses.

We both freeze at the sound of voices outside the door and Edward's eyes widen as he quickly jumps up, pulling me with him as he hides us behind some of overflowing shelves and holds me to his chest. Even though we could be about to be expelled I can't help but want to laugh, my body shaking a little and Edward's arms tighten around me, his chest vibrating with a silent laugh too. He's still so hard against my ass and I move myself against him a little, smiling to myself as he groans quietly in my ear, holding me tighter.

Two of the guys from the football team walk in and I press myself back against Edward even more, hoping they don't see us. Edward shudders behind me at the move and I have to hold back a moan at the feel of his cock throbbing against me. We're pretty well hidden behind the shelf but if they looked closer, they'd see glimpses of us through the slats. At least it's not a teacher.

I widen my eyes when I see that one of them is Corey, someone in Edward's friendship group. He stiffens behind me. The other one I don't recognise all that well, he's not in any of my classes.

'Do we have time to…you know?' Corey asks in a low voice. The attractive dark-haired boy smirks and then steps into Corey's arms, tugging his face down and kissing him fiercely, both of them groaning, their hands all over each other.

I hear Edward's sharp intake of breath in my ear.

The boy's part with heavy breaths. 'Suck my cock.' Corey says, pressing his hand down on the other guy's head.

'Are you fucking serious?' The dark-haired boy spits out, shoving him backwards. 'I swear to god Corey, outside of school you act like we're happy and in love and then as soon as we're here you turn into a fucking asshole. You won't even look my way, and then we get a few seconds alone together and you're ordering me to suck your cock like your fucking slave?'

Corey looks stricken and the other guy scoffs, grabbing the big bag of footballs and storming out the room, the door slamming behind him.

Corey walks up to the door and presses his head against it, slamming his fist into the wood.

'Fuck!' He growls, his body slumping. Something in my chest tugs at the sight.

He sighs, then wrenches the door open, slamming it behind him too.

Edward and I are quiet, neither of us moving.

His voice is quiet. 'That was…'

'Yeah.' I say softly. 'Did you know?'

'No.' Edward sighs. 'I…I should talk to him though. Fuck I had no idea.'

We manoeuvre out of the shelf and I smile teasingly at him, 'I thought you gasped because you were freaked out.'

Edward raises an eyebrow at me. 'Why would it freak me out?'

I shrug. 'Two boys kissing. I know that scares some guys.'

Edward laughs, tugging me into his arms and kissing one cheek, then the other, then my nose, before his mouth drifts to my ear, his voice low. 'I thought it was kind of hot, actually.'

I jerk back from him and widen my eyes. He smirks, emerald eyes glinting wickedly at me. 'I'm not saying I'd want to be in the kiss or anything, but they're good looking guys and there was a lot of passion between them. Did you not find it hot?'

I bite my bottom lip, surprised. 'Yeah,' I admit.

Edward's smirk widens, 'See.'

Something jumps in my chest as I look into his deep green eyes and I find myself smiling at him.

His lips curve up into a sweet smile in response, his eyes sparkling. 'What did I do to get a beautiful smile like that?' His warm fingertips trail across my cheek and I lean into his touch.

'I just like you.' The words blurt out without thought and we both freeze.

He relaxes almost immediately, letting his hand fall back to his side. He doesn't say anything, just watches me carefully. I stay there for a second, not moving, but he doesn't react to the words, or say anything about them and my heart slows it's frantic beating, my chest loosening slightly as I breathe in and out.

I swallow, shifting on my feet and Edward smiles softly before he jerks his head to the door. 'I'm gonna try and damage control with her for this morning, hopefully I can convince her to... anyway, either way she'll probably do it at lunch in front of everyone. I'm sure your friends will find it amusing.'

A small smile tugs at my lips. 'Probably.'

Edward shrugs, 'You gonna be there beautiful?'

I swallow and then shake my head. I don't think I want to see it.

He nods, kissing my cheek lightly, his warm lips barely brushing my skin. 'You leave first baby, I'll follow.'

I go to the door and then turn to him, chewing on my bottom lip. 'But I…when will I see you?'

It's Saturday tomorrow. No school. And he can't go anywhere.

Edward smiles warmly at me, his green eyes sparkling, 'I'll figure something out.'

A/N Did you trust our boy? Or did you think the same as Bella…let me know what you thought of this one, they made a little more progress. If you haven't guessed yet, Tanya was the least of their problems…

You girls on the FB group crack me up so much, and all the reviews were so enraged! Haha, I hope this made you feel better ❤️
