Next chapter, okay here it is…this is the same as the last chapter, only in Edwards POV, and there is a bit more added on the end. Oh, and remember, REVIEW! Or I will leave this story and you will never see it finished!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or its characters. Plain and simple. I do own Ryan, Brooke, and Sam though. You're probably wondering who Brooke is, but you will find out soon.

Chapter Two-Hottie Spotted

Edward's POV

I walked into the food court just as Alice and Rosalie veered off in the direction of the clothing stalls. There were so many different thoughts coming from the people in the food hall. I glanced over at Jasper. How was he coping with all the humans around?

But he didn't seem to notice. He looked nervous, and he was stiff. He was staring at one person in particular. I smelt her before I saw her.

Bella. She was sitting with two people I had never seen before. The boy seemed to be watching her with interest. I quickly read his mind and tried to assess the situation.

Poor Bella. She must be really upset over this Edward guy. She looks so sad. Sam is an idiot, she has to go pressing her about it!

"Obviously not, or Bella wouldn't have broken up with him", the boy muttered. What a jerk. Bella looked beyond people's appearances. She was smarter than that. She wasn't one to judge a book by its cover. I saw the other girl's mouth fall open. I read her thoughts.

Oh my God! She never told us she went out with him! She only ever went on about how great he was! Why didn't she tell us! Maybe he broke her heart? Maybe she broke his…but then why would she be saying such nice stuff about him? Maybe she hates him. I should ask her. If this Edward guy is hot, maybe I could have a chance…

I stopped listening after that. I didn't need to know. She was just imagining me in her mind. Why is it that everyone Bella tells about me assume that I am blonde? It's like some kind of automatic reaction.

I didn't hear the rest of the conversation the trio were having, I was too focused on Bella. Once again trying to read her mind. And…failing horribly. I heard a bit more of the conversation. Only little snippets, because I was concentrating on trying to read Bella's thoughts.

I heard something about vegetarian. She must have been talking about me. I focused in on the conversation more, but there was nothing to here. Bella had noticed us. I barely realised it, but we were walking in the direction of her table!

Bella ducked her head. Her hair was pulled back, but if it had been down I know she would have made a curtain between us, like on the first day we met. It felt like so long ago, that first day in biology. I saw the girl named Sam gasp. I assumed she was Sam, from the boy's thoughts.

She was staring at me, and she obviously assumed I was out of ear-shot, because she giggled. "Total hottie alert", more giggles. I hate it when girls giggle. It's pathetic, to be quite honest.

We reached the table in what seemed like hours. "Hey Bella", I said casually. I don't think she realised it, but she blushed. Her smell became stronger. Sam giggled again. I groaned inwardly. I wanted to throttle her.

Emmett and Jasper snickered and elbowed each other. "Hey Bella", they said. I could hear them restraining a laugh. "We're just going to get some lunch", Jasper laughed into his hand. They turned and walked away. My head dropped. I pretended to study a crack on the tiled floor.

"Hello Edward", I thought I heard her put a strain on my name, but I couldn't be sure. I desperately wanted to throw my arms around Bella. Sam's thoughts interrupted me.

That is Edward? Wow! What a hottie! Why the heck did Bell break up with him? She must have been really mad. I wonder what could have happened to make her break up with something so damn hot.

My eyes flicked to the girl's face. Her eyes were wide, and she brushed her hair back from her face quickly. She blinked rapidly. I could tell she was trying to get my full attention. "So you're Edward", she made her voice low. She was trying to be sexy. The poor girl, I pitied her. I decided to at least pay her some attention.

After all, she was trying. Bella seemed surprised that I noticed. I wished I could have read her mind. I wanted to know what she was thinking. She seemed lost in her own little world for a minute. She was thinking about something, and she looked a bit sad. Torn, maybe?

I felt my face fall. I let out a sigh. I missed her so much. But then she lifted her face and glared at me. I felt it tear through my heart. It ripped me to pieces. But I knew what she was trying to tell me. She wanted me to go. I forced a smile, praying that it would convince her.

I knew it didn't. "Goodbye, Bella", I said softly. I turned and walked away. How had I just walked away? I needed her, I knew that much. "Goodbye forever, Edward", I turned my head slowly, and saw Bella staring down. I bit my lip. "I love you Bella. Never, ever doubt or forget that", I whispered.

She wouldn't have heard though. She wasn't a vampire. And that was my fault. I could hear the boy's voice at their table. "So, was that the famous Edward Cullen"? He asked. I held my breath. I was shattered at what Bella said next.

"No, that was…a different Edward. Just some guy I know from school", she didn't care. She must have shaken her head, because her sent wafted across the room. I inhaled deeply, etching the sent into my brain. Then I turned and looked at Bella. I felt my heart ache deeply. I wished suddenly that I could cry.

I would have cried for weeks. Bella looked at me, and I could tell she felt guilty. I wanted to tell her not to be. "Don't be sad, Bella. Please don't be sad. Don't cry", I whispered. Her brown eyes were wide and guilt-washed, but something was missing from them.

Her eyes held no love. They held not desire to be with me. She didn't want me anymore. She didn't love me. The hardest thing was knowing that letting her go had been right. I had made the right decision. That Bella was out of danger, safe, and over me. Now she was free to live her life as she should have, with another human.

(A week later)

We had one more week of holidays. I hadn't seen Bella since that day in the food court at the store. I still visited her every night. Some nights I even sat beside her while she slept in her bed.

It was wrong. I shouldn't have visited her. It only tormented me more, and it wasn't fair to Bella. She had let me go and now it was my turn. But somehow I couldn't shake the feeling that she still needed me. I needed to watch over her. I had grown to feel like a guardian angel.

Alice had talked to me a few times about it. This was one of many. "Edward, you have to leave her alone! You aren't doing yourself any favours"! She scolded. We were back at the store. In the food court. It was wrong, but I hoped Bella would come.

And she did. But not in a way that I was happy about. That boy who's name I found out through the mind of Sam was with Bella. Ryan had his arm around her waist. He pulled her closer and leaned down to kiss her. They actually made out in the middle of the food court.

Alice pretended it was no big deal. "Oh look, it's Bella. Wow, she and Ryan got together", she said casually. I was fuming by now. How could she! But another part of me protested. The smart part of me. She could quite easily.

She wasn't cheating on me. She was in love with Ryan. It wasn't a crime. But it broke my heart none the less. I hated seeing her with someone else. But she did look happy. I was glad that she was happy. But I wasn't glad that it wasn't me making her happy. I stormed out of the food court before I could do something I might regret later.
