E POV
Ever since Bella confessed to me about what happened in Phoenix, I just couldn't get it through my head. I couldn't believe it. How could someone have be so cold hearted to take advantage of her in that kind of way.
Bella would try to avoid me at all costs at school. She would talk to me during lunch, Biology, and when I took her home after school or picked her up in the mornings. It tears me apart, she's not the same anymore. You can tell that she's worried about something all the time.
I decided I would talk to Bella today, I had a surprise for her for her birthday anyways. I know she doesn't like surprises but I'm sure this surprise would be good.
I was driving to her house, and I opened her door. I asked if I could come in and stay for a while.
We were inside the house, Emmett and Rosalie were somewhere. I honestly didn't care.
I asked Bella to sit down by me, she seemed hesitant at first but sat by me after that. I put my arms around her waist.
"I love you." I murmured. I could feel her cheeks heat up.
"I love you too." I smiled. I put her on my lap on we were looking at each others eyes. I wish time would stop at this exact moment, this was my personal heaven.
B POV
Edward asked if he could come over for a bit, I wasn't so sure if that was a great idea. I've been trying to avoid Edward so often lately. I know it's not fair, but I just need time for myself. Now that I think about it maybe it wasn't the best idea to tell him what happened. I'm not sure if Edward even looks at me the same way now because, I'm so worthless and used.
"Bella." He gave me his crooked grin. I smiled.
"I have something to give you." I was shocked, I didn't want anything.
"I know it's early, but we don't have any school on the weekend of your birthday. So I bought us tickets to go to Phoenix that weekend to see Renee." I was taken aback. He took out the plane tickets and put them in my hands. This had to be the best surprise ever.
"Edward! This.." I couldn't think of a way to word what I was feeling so I kissed him. I put in all the love and passion into that kiss. We broke apart after that. Edward had his sexy crooked grin plastered on his face. He put his forehead on mines.
"Maybe I should of gave you the plane tickets earlier." He breathed on my face. I giggled. We just stayed on the couch the rest of the afternoon in each others arms. I can't wait to go to Phoenix with him. It's going to be great.
"Bella?"
"Hmm?"
"I don't want to ruin the moment or anything but I've just been wondering..."
"Wondering what?"
"Why you've been avoiding me lately." I stiffened. I wasn't sure how to answer that question. He rubbed my back soothingly.
"I.. I.. just thought you didn't see me the same way anymore.." I dropped my head and looked at the ground.
"Why would you think that, sweetheart?"I let a tear fall. He caught it before it stained my face.
"I'm... I'm..not.. pure..I'm.. worthless.. I'm used.." I sobbed between words. Edward looked torn. He hugged me and I sobbed into his chest he didn't let me go at all.
"Love, how am I supposed to convince your pure,you're not worthless and used?"
E POV
"There's nothing you can do Edward that will ever convince me." She looked so upset, the tears were endless.
"Bella, your the kindest person I have ever met. That makes more pure than anybody I know."
"You could never I repeat never be worthless, are you kidding me? You're the million dollar prize to me."
"Bella, and you're perfect and bastard did wrong in doing such harm to you. You're not used, you're amazing and I love you so much."
I saw tears were welling up in her eyes. I kissed her cheek and she gave me a watery smile and her tears fell slowly. I kissed each tear away. I couldn't wait to for next weekend to be Bella in Phoenix.
One week later
I was packing my stuff for my weekend in Phoenix with Bella. Emmett decided he wanted to go to and bought a ticket to see Renee also. So it was going to be with Bella, Emmett, and I this weekend. Joy. Emmett was sure going to have fun teasing Bella and I this weekend.
Emmett got a later flight because he wanted to say bye to Rose. I shuddered at thought of Rose and Emmett's bye.
I was at Charlie's house and Bella was in the living room waiting for me. I knocked quietly and Bella opened the door she threw her arms around me.
"I missed you." She whispered in my ear. I whispered "I miss you." back at her. I got all her luggage for the weekend, then we were off to Seattle to catch our flight.
When we got to Phoenix, Bella and I decided to get a car to get to her mother's house since Renee had no clue we were coming over. We settled for Aston Martin after lots of persuasion on my part.
I decided to drive because Bella apparently didn't like cars with tons of speed.
We finally got to Renee's house, Bella told me to ring the doorbell and she would hide behind me. I complied and when Renee opened the doorbell she looked confused when she saw Bella's and my luggage beside me.
Then Bella stepped behind me.
"Mom!" Bella yelled. She looked happy.
"Bella, how are you sweetheart and who is this dashing young man?"
"He's Edward, my boyfriend."
"Hello, I'm Edward." I went up to her and was going to shake her hand but she hugged me instead. I hugged her back.
"Hi Edward, it's nice to meet you. I'm Renee." She was very friendly.
We got settled, I went inside the guest room. I knocked on Bella's door in her room and I surprised her by hugging her around her waist.
"Edward." She sounded shocked. I chuckled at the way she sounded. Then we saw a black Jeep pull over. It was Emmett.
We went downstairs to see how Renee would react. Emmett and Renee haven't seen each other in years.
When Emmett rang the doorbell, Renee answered and she screamed of joy when saw who it was.
"EMMETT!"There was tears leaking down her face of joy.
"Mom. I've missed you."
I smiled this was truly the start of a great weekend.
Bella and I enjoyed our Friday night eating dinner at Renee's, we talked about nothing it was comfortbable. I could tell Bella was really happy to see Renee and I was glad. I knew buying those plane tickets was a great idea.
Saturday, was okay. Bella and I stayed indoors and watched a few movies. Emmett went and had some one on one time with Phil. They got along pretty good and Renee looked like she was beaming with joy seeing them getting along. That night Renee pulled me aside and asked me something.
"Edward, tomorrow is their birthday. Bella really loves this one restaurant here in Phoenix. If you want you can take her out. I'll be baking her a cake and possibly have some of her old friends come over." She said.
"I'd love to do that." I told her, I'm sure Bella would love that.
Sunday came all to early. Emmett was jumping up and down in his room. He was excited. Excited about what? I'm not sure.
"Emmett what are you doing?" I was still groggy. It was absurd to be up at this ungodly hour.
"I'll be 18 in two more minutes." I rolled my eyes. It was 3:54 in the morning!
"Emmett you do know that it is 3:54AM."
"Yeah, the clock ticked 3:55"
"Sixty more second Edward!"He was counting sixty second until he landed to sixty. Then came the commotion that I'm sure woke up everybody in the house.
"WOOOO! I'm officially eighteen!" He yelled loudly.
Bella finally walked in that moment.
"What is that noise all about Em?" Bella asked.
"I'm eighteen Bells and you're not!" She rolled her eyes.
"That is the reason why I am awake at this hour?"
"Yes, whatever. Night."
"Wait Bella!" Emmett grabbed her arm and gave a bone crushing hug.
"You're eighteen now! Doesn't it feel great?"
"Fantastic Em." There was sarcasm leaking in her voice.
"Night Edward, have fun trying to convince him to sleep."
I decided to go to bed, and try to block out all the noise Emmett was making. I finally got some 'decent' sleep and fell into a dreamless sleep.
I woke up from Emmett shaking.
"Edward. You need to hurry up and make Bella's reservations for tonight!" Emmett reminded me.
I got my phone out and dialed the number Em gave me and made reservations. I asked Emmett to go and get me some daisies for Bella. He did as told and it was finally five.
"Bella are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, I'm coming." She was going down the stairs and she looked gorgeous as always.
"You look gorgeous, love."
"Happy Birthday." I gave her the daisies. She smiled they were her favorite flowers.
