Chapter 5

I ran out into the night sobbing. I sat down on the grass under a tree outside the club and cried. How could I have been so stupid as to think that Edward and I could ever be well…Edward and I? I was so naïve not to think that he would like someone else. From the sounds of it, he really loved this girl. The boy I love loves someone else, now I am worthless.
It was then, as another wave of hysteria overcame me, that I heard footsteps behind me, and two strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist.
"Bella babe, what's wrong?" Edward whispered in my ear.
"N-n-nothing" I sniffed and stammered, trying to remember how to breath.
"Bells, don't give me that you've been acting strangely all night, and for the past week, now please tell me what is wrong" Edward asked, holding me close to him, and tilting my head up to look at him.
I sighed, knowing that he knew me too well for me to just say I was PMSing or something.
"Okay Edward, but I don't want this to ruin our friendship….I've been in love with you since the first moment I met you when we were 4 to now. And I could never tell you, because I know you don't feel the same way, especially now, seeing as there's this girl out there that you're in love with so badly, and I'm not her. I'm sorry Edward…." I whispered.
He loosened his grip on my waist, but turned me round on his lap to look on him.
"Isabella Marie Swan" he sighed "Are you stupid?"

"I've been in love with you since the first moment I met you when we were 4 to now. And I could never tell you, because I know you don't feel the same way, especially now, seeing as there's this girl out there that you're in love with so badly, and I'm not her. I'm sorry Edward…." Bella whispered, looking down as if she was ashamed of what she'd just said.
I had to loosen my grip round her waist to get her to look at me in the face, but kept her on my lap.
"Isabella Marie Swan" I said, smiling "Are you stupid?"
Her beautiful brown eyes looked at me, confused, and her face wrinkled trying to understand what I'd said.
"That song was meant for you. All the time I've spent with other girls is nothing compared to what I feel with you. You make me feel alive, and I wrote that song to tell you how I feel. I think you're the most amazing, incredible person I've ever met. I love you with all my heart, and if you think for one moment that I'm sorry for loving you, then you're wrong." I said to her, holding her close to my body, so I could feel her heartbeat against my chest.
"But…Tanya" she said
"I broke up with her a week ago Bella. I realised how much I loved you, and I couldn't pretend to her anymore."
Bella looked up at me, her eyes locked onto mine, and she smiled a beautiful , soft smile.
"Edward Cullen…I love you" She whispered.
"Isabella Swan…You don't know how much I've longed to hear that from you. I love you more than life itself"
As I said this, I tilted her head up so we were centimetres apart, and leant down and kissed her.

As he said those words, and leant towards to me, I still couldn't believe that this was happening. Any moment now, I would wake up, and none of it would have happened.
And then, our lips met, and electricity shot down my body, and my knees went weak. Our lips moved together, and it was incredible. My first kiss with the boy I'd loved since I was barely old enough to walk. Nothing in the rest of my life could compare to that moment.
Edward groaned softly, and pulled me closer to him, tracing the bottom of my lip with his tongue. Okay, nothing except that.
Just as
his tongue gained entrance into my mouth, I saw a bright flash of
light from behind my eyelids and we broke apart. Alice was standing
there grinning- or rather I should say, dancing around whooping with
Jasper, holding her camera.
"I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I TOLD YOU SHE
LOVED YOU TOO EDWARD!" She screamed into the night.
"WHAT ALICE YOU KNEW!" I shrieked back at her.
She stopped dancing, as I growled at her.
"Urrrrm I think I should leave…" She said as she backed away laughing.
"Yeah you'd better you annoying little pixie" I tried to be scary as I said it, and she got the hint and ran off, dragging Jasper with her.
I turned back to Edward, who was smiling my favourite crooked smile at me, which took my breath away.
"Now….where were we?" I asked smiling, at him.
"Oh, I'm sure I can catch you up" He said, pulling me close to him.
