Here it is, the next chapter. Sorry if it's a bit rushed.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or it's characters. I did make up Ryan and Sam though.

Chapter Four-Rubbing It In

Bella's POV

Ryan and Sam dropped me off at school. It was their second day. People were fairly aware that Ryan and I were an 'Item'. The party was coming up the next night, so that's basically what we talked about all day.

At lunch Sam, Ryan and I all sat at a table together, of course. Edward and his family pretended not to notice. Although, I could see Alice was hurt. Ryan and Sam chatted about the party, while I just nodded occasionally. When the bell went, Ryan grabbed me and kissed me passionately.

"See you this afternoon, kay"? He whispered against my lips. I just nodded. As we were walking out of the cafeteria, hand in hand, Edward walked up. Just above everyone was in hearing-range.

I giggled at something Ryan said, and gave a disgusted look at Edward. "What the hell do you want"? I asked. There was no excuse for my tone of voice. But I didn't care. I wasn't in the mood for Edward just then.

"Bella, can I talk to you…alone", he whispered. "It's about the party", he added. I let out an angry sigh. "Can't you just get lost? Edward, we're over! Except the fact, and move on! I did, and I'm perfectly happy with Ryan. Go find yourself another girlfriend. Maybe one who will care a little more, and vice versa", I shouted.

Many curious heads turned to gaze at the scene. Edward just stared, eyes wide. Then his eyes flashed black with anger. But his response held none of that. "I'm only trying to help. But I see that it's not wanted", he said softly. "Edward, I don't love you anymore"! I said desperately. I know he could see the truth in my eyes.

Ryan cleared his throat uncomfortably. "I have to get to class. I'll…see you later, Bella", he said. I gave him an apologetic smile. Then I glared at Edward. "You screwed up my life once. You won't do it again", I hissed. He sighed, and turned to walk away. I thought I saw his lips move slightly, but I couldn't tell.

(Edward's POV)

I didn't really see Bella and her new friend and boyfriend on the first day back at school. It wasn't until that afternoon that Alice showed me the vision. I saw it through her mind.

Bella was making out with a guy I had never seen before. She had a beer in her hand and was laughing uncontrollable. She was giggling and twirling around. It seemed like she was drunk. She was dancing and kissing random guys who I didn't know. None of them were Ryan, but he was off in a corner kissing another girl.

I was horrified. I had no idea where this was going to happen but I remembered people at school talking about a party. Was Bella going to that party? She wouldn't. She wasn't that kind of person to go out and get drunk. But then again, she had changed quite a lot. I had tried to tell myself that she wouldn't do that.

"What should I do"? I asked Carlisle and Esme later that night. Esme had looked deeply distressed and sad. "There is nothing you can do, Edward", Carlisle said sadly. "Except maybe warn her. But I'm not so sure that she would listen", he added. Esme had remained silent. I knew she would have been crying.

Alice, Emmett and Jasper were very upset too. Jasper had been so overwhelmed by everyone's sadness that he had to leave the house for a while. That was the first time something like that had to happen.

He had never been so overwhelmed before. The sadness hung in the air all night. Alice and I talked with each other a few times, but then I just went to my room to punch holes in the wall. I wasn't entirely convinced that my whole family wasn't doing the same.

I listened in on their thoughts to pass the time away.

This is such a tragic thing to happen. Edward had never been so happy in his entire life, I can't believe that he threw it all away by denying her the one thing that would have kept them together. Alice

Poor Edward. I can't believe this happened to the two of them. I'm not sure he will ever truly love someone like he loved dear Bella. Esme.

Emmett and Rosalie's thoughts angered me the most.

This is all Edward's bloody fault! He bought this on himself, by not changing her. He lost the only person he ever loved and probably ever will love because he had to have his way again and be so damn stubborn. Emmett.

Bella is such a bitch. She screwed Edward up bad. She is such a selfish cow; I can't believe she left him because he wouldn't kill her. He should have changed her. Made the selfish pig see how good she's got it. Rosalie.

It's so hard to believe that Bella would actually do something so immature and careless. I just hope she doesn't overdo it and so something incredibly stupid. Carlisle.

Trust him to be thinking about the health and safety part. But reading their minds made me realise the mistake I had made. I should never have denied Bella what she wanted. But I couldn't fix it now. She had found someone else.

Reading their thoughts also made me realise just how much they had all loved Bella. As much as I did, but just in different ways. For me, it was true love. Romance. For Esme and Carlisle, it was family. They loved her like a daughter. For Emmett, Jasper, and probably Alice too, it was as a sibling. She was a sister to them. But Alice also loved her as a best friend.

Rosalie was probably the only one who didn't let it show. But I knew that somewhere, she did love Bella like a sister. Well, if she didn't she would've learnt to. But I never gave her the chance, because I never changed her.

I read Jasper's thoughts when he finally came home.

Gee. I sure miss Bella. Everyone is going through such a hard time. Especially Edward and Alice. Edward lost the one person he has ever loved, and Alice has lost her only best friend. She had never had a best friend before. I should go and comfort her.

I hadn't thought about it that way. It was true. Alice had never had a best friend before. Not in her human life, and not in her time as a vampire. She would be really confused, because she had never lost a best friend before either. Jasper was always the one to put things into perspective and make me realise that I wasn't the only one alive.

I stayed up all night thinking of ways to get Bella back. By the time it was time for school, I had no brilliant ideas to put into action. There was a soft knock at the door. "Edward? It's time for school. We're going with Rose. Do you want to take the Volvo"? It was Alice. She sounded sad.

"I'll drive by myself", I replied half heartedly. And I did. I pulled into my usual space at school, and saw Bella step out of Ryan's car, laughing. He put his arm around her waist and she rested her head on his shoulder. Then he kissed her. It wasn't like any way I ever had.

It was passionate. They had no need to stay in control. I felt my anger building up again, so I darted off to class. I had resulted to running! Why could I not accept it? I was fleeing like a terrified rabbit.

At lunch I half hoped that Bella would sit at our table. But I knew that she wouldn't. And she didn't. She went and sat with Ryan. I decided to read his thoughts as I listened to their conversation.

They were talking about the party. Actually, Ryan and his sister were talking about the party. Bella only seemed half interested. I secretly hoped that she was thinking about me. I glanced at Jasper, who seemed incredibly distressed for some reason. I read his thoughts.

I don't believe it. She doesn't love Edward anymore! She loves Ryan, and she feels nothing for Edward! Maybe my power isn't working. Maybe I'm wrong. I have to be wrong, of course Bella loves Edward!

I didn't believe it. I glared at Jasper. He obviously felt my anger towards him.

Sorry, Edward. I'm so, so sorry. You have no idea how much.

I ignored it. Jasper had to be wrong. Of course his power wasn't working properly. It was just a stupid, little mistake. At least that's what I tried to believe. But the more I watched Bella's face, the more I saw her adoration for Ryan. He would smile at her occasionally, and she would be ecstatic. I could see it on her face.

Eventually the bell went, and I realised none of my family had spoken the whole break. I stood up, and watched as Bella and Ryan made out over at their table. My fists automatically clenched. Just as the pair pulled apart and went to walk out, I walked up to them.

Uh oh. I hope Bell doesn't make a scene.

I rolled my eyes. Ryan was a retard. Bella glared at me as I walked up, though, and I knew she wouldn't take this lightly. She looked at me as thought I smelled funny. Her nose wrinkled up. And then came the shouting. "What the hell do you want"? She demanded.

"Bella, can I talk to you…alone", I whispered, glancing around at the onlookers. "It's about the party", I added quickly before she rejected me. I had no such luck. "Can't you just get lost? Edward, we're over! Except the fact, and move on! I did, and I'm perfectly happy with Ryan. Go find yourself another girlfriend. Maybe one who will care a little more, and vice versa", she shouted.

Had she really just said that? I felt my heart break for the hundredth time. This time there were no pieces left to put back together. I was extremely mad. But I couldn't make a scene. Too many people were already watching, and I didn't need teachers to come out. "I'm only trying to help, but I can see that it's not wanted", I whispered, hanging my head.

"Edward, I don't love you anymore"! She said desperately. I looked up into her eyes. She was dead serious. It was nothing but the truth. This hurt more than anything else she had ever said. I winced. I couldn't cry, so that's all I could do. Ryan said something to Bella, but I wasn't listening.

She smiled, and then turned to glare at me again. "You screwed up my life once. You won't do it again", she hissed. I hung my head again. I turned to walk away "I'm sorry. I love you", I whispered. But she wouldn't understand it. I said it too low and too fast. After all, she's only human.

Story of my life

Searching for the right

But it keeps avoiding me

Sorrow in my soul

Cause it seems that wrong

Really loves my company

He's more than a man

And this is more than love

The reason that this guy is blue

The clouds are rolling in

Because I'm gone again

And to him I just can't be true

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful

And it kills him inside

To know that I am happy with some other guy

I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore

I don't wanna be the reason why

Every time I walk out the door

I see him die a little more inside

I don't wanna hurt him anymore

I don't wanna take away his life

I don't wanna be...

A murderer

I might as well take a gun and put it to his head

Get it over with

I don't wanna do this

Anymore

-Unfaithful, Rihanna
