He came closer the car and I sped off. I looked in the back mirror and there he stood with a pissed off expression.

I hope he doesn't demand an explanation.


Bella's POV

I was well out of the parking lot when I pulled over the the side to breathe and Alice looked at me shocked. I just sat there in silence for what felt like months.

"Why the hell did you do that?" She asked quizzically.

I looked at her like she had three heads and then replied. "He was coming to the car and I'm supposed to be resisting! I had to go!"

Alice's expression went from shocked to amazement at how stupid I was for pulling a stunt like that.

"Yes, Resisting, not being a total bitch…and back there that is exactly what you were! Sometimes Bella, I just want to strangle you!" she said with a hint of dislike in her voice.

"Why? He was coming over here!" I asked because I had no idea what she was talking about.

"Bella, he was coming over here to give you your book!" she exclaimed like I was the dumbest person on the planet and frankly, I think she was right,

Shit! My book, I totally forgot! Now I'll have to get it back later. Awww, and that means I'll have to talk to him! If there is a God, he hates me! Why god, Why?

"Oh! My book…um...I can't think of an excuse for that, I guess I was so focused on leaving that I forgot that he had my book and Dammit! That was my favorite!" I said explaining myself to her to calm her down. The wrath of Alice is something that no person should ever endure under any circumstances.

"Bella, you can get the book back later. Stop freaking out!" She quipped.

I sure as hell didn't expect her to be rational when she is pissed.

Maybe I did calm her down! *Does mental victory dance!* Go Bella!

"Bella!" Alice exclaimed, trying to get my attention.

"Huh?" I asked, snapped out of my thoughts.

"I said, maybe we should go home. You can call Edward and ask him to bring you're book back tomorrow." She said, anxious to leave the side of the road.

"What?! Why would I intentionally talk to him? Plus, I don't even have his number!" I exclaimed, clearly outraged at the suggestion.

"Bella, the book is your favorite and it was a present from Charlie. Don't you want it back? And as for his number, just call information. Duh!" Alice said incredibly fast.

"Okay, you're right. I'll call him. Now, lets go home." I said, hoping the drive home would take longer than it usually does.

I started the car and saw that all the other cars were leaving school. So, I had been out here for a good 45 minutes. That also meant that Edward would be home and I would have to call him. This really sucked!

I drove home at my usual speed and my luck having it, I was there in maybe three minutes.

Alice and I got out of the car and went inside. Luckily, Charlie wasn't home yet.

"Tick, Tock Bella. The sooner you do this, the sooner it is done with." She said, clearly amused at my misery.

"Ugh! Alice, I hate you when you're right!" I quipped, annoyed with this entire situation.

I stomped over to the phone and picked it up, then sprinted to my room. I laid down on my bed and dialed information. It rang a couple times and then the operator picked up.

"Information, How may I help you?" a voice asked.

"Hi, can I have the number for the Cullen Residence?" I asked.

She gave me the number and I wrote it down. I dialed and someone picked up on the fifth ring.

"Hello?" a booming voice asked.

"Hi. Is Edward there?" I asked silently hoping he wasn't.

"Yeah. Hold on." The guy said as he put down the phone and in the background I heard him say "Hey Edward!" "There's a girl on the phone for you!" he teased.

I couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Hello?" the angel asked and I swear I felt my heart start back up for a second.

"Edward?" I asked event though I already knew it was him.

"Yeah, who is this?" he asked.

"Hi, this is Bella." I said embarrassed out of my mind.

"Bella? I'm surprised you called. Oh. And sorry for the hearing damage. That was my brother Emmett." his said.

"Its okay. It was funny." I explained and I still had an amused tone in my voice from his brother.

"Oh. And Sorry for being a bitch today. I was having a bad day." I explained hoping he would forgive me.

"Its fine. So what's up?" he said and I was happy that he was being understanding. I knew that I shouldn't be this comfortable talking to him, but it was so easy to talk to him.

'Resist, Resist, Resist.' my mind chanted.

"You have my book and I was wondering if you could bring it back tomorrow." I said.

"Yeah, sure. No Problem." He replied.

"Thanks. I got to go, my sister is outside and she wants to use the phone." I lied reluctantly.

"Okay. See You Tomorrow, Bye Bella." He said.

"Bye Edward," I replied as I hung up the phone.

I found that I felt that I didn't want to stop talking to him, but I had to. Being around him was such a danger, I could hurt him in just one touch. He was too tempting for his own good. I had to stay away, I had to. The problem was, he was wearing me down. There was this spark that I had never felt before. The feelings he evoked in me were astounding. He awakened things in me I hadn't felt since I was human. I knew I had to resist, but what was the harm in just being friendly? I would try, hopefully it would end well.

Will I have the strength to not hurt him?

But I think the real question is: Can I Stay away?
