When my tears had finally stopped, I looked up into the face of my comforter and felt like crying all over again. Edward looked down at me.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked cautiously.
"I uh…" How do you tell the man you love you're crying because he doesn't love you, oh and you're werewolf boyfriend imprinted and left you alone even though he promised he wouldn't.
"It's nothing."
"It doesn't look like nothing." He said.
"Why are you here anyway, I thought you went hunting?" I asked, apart of me wishing he would leave.
"The others are still hunting, I came back early because I wanted the chance to talk with you."
"Why?"
"The way we left things was pretty messy, and then you came back and I was with Tess…" he'd let go of me now, moving to sit against the stair railing.
"The way we left things Edward, you left me remember?" I snapped.
"I know that, It's not like I knew you were going to become a vampire protector." He snapped back, the anger evident in his eyes. I stood up.
"Neither did I." I turned around to go back to my room but his hand shot out and grabbed a hold of my wrist.
"I'm sorry," He said softly. I turned around to face him, the anger I had felt moments before quickly drained away.
"It wasn't that I didn't love you, because I do… did love you. I left because I thought I was keeping you from a normal human life." I froze, Nate had been telling the truth. He had loved me. Had, he had loved me. I suddenly felt like crying again. Instead, I smiled at him.
"Do you think maybe we could try this whole being friends thing?" I asked. He smiled.
"I'd like that. Do you want to talk about it now?" he asked. I hesitated; maybe it wouldn't be so bad, just to tell him the Jacob stuff. We were friends now and that's what you do with friends. I nodded and we both sat back down on the porch.
The next morning I was sitting in the kitchen with the Cullen's. We were trying to figure out what it was we were going to do, it was raining so that meant we could go out during the day. Feeling thirsty, I grabbed my cup and walked over to the tap. I could hear a phone vibrating and turned around as Edward pulled his phone from his pocket.
"Hello" because of my vampire hearing I was able to hear Tess on the other end.
"Hey, what you doing today?"
"I dunno, we're still deciding."
"Ok, call me back when you decide. I love you Eddie-poo." Eddie-poo….
Edward's POV
"Ok, call me back when you decide. I love you Eddie-poo." I can't believe she just called me that, with my family and Bella sitting right next to me. I could see the amused looks on all their faces and then I heard choking. I looked up to see Bella choking on the water she had just drunk. Emmett jumped up to pat her on the back. She looked over at me and I just glared.
"Uh yeah." I said hanging up the phone.
"Ed- Eddie-poo." Bella choked out. I just glared at her again.
"Aww looks like little Eddie-poo needs his diapy changed. He's making that face again." Emmett said. My siblings and Bella roared with laughter and Bella and Emmett high fived each other.
"Now, now be nice to poor Eddie-poo." Esme said. We all stared at her shocked. Realisation of what she had just said registered and her hand flung to her mouth.
"Oh Edward I'm so sorry." She said. I just continued to glare.
If I didn't love Tess so much I'd kill her, I was never going to live this one down.
AN: I actually have friends who high five every time they crack a joke, even if they're the only ones who think it's funny. Hope you were pleased with who was hugging her. Please review!
