Hate Is Just Another Word For Love
Chapter 4
Stephenie Meyers owns all the characters I just own the storyline.
The next morning Edward and I were unpleasantly woken up by the banging of his door hitting the wall and Alice's lout annoying chirpy voice.
"Wake up Bella we have to get you ready for today and we're short on time."
"God Alice can't you knock, get out!" Edward yelled although it wasn't very loud since his voice was so sleep filled before he took his pillow and put it over his head.
"Sorry Brother dear, you can go back to sleep for a while longer but Bella has to come with me." Alice said as she tried to drag me from Edward's very comfy bed.
"Ugh what time is it Alice?" I asked as a yawn overtook me.
"It's 5:30 which only gives us an hour and a half to get ready."
I groaned out loud before I turned to curl up against Edward again who immediately put his arm around me as he picked his head up from beneath his pillow to look at his sister.
"Alice leave us alone and let us sleep for a half hour longer. Bella is beautiful as she is and doesn't need a long time to get ready."
"But it's the first day of school and I need time to do hair and makeup." Alice whined
"Please Ally?" I asked while giving her my best puppy dog stare.
"Fine but you're mine in half an hour Isabella Swan." Alice huffed as she finally left the room.
"Thank you for getting me a little more time Edward." I whispered against his bare chest before pressing a quick kiss to it.
"Anytime Love." Edward whispered back as he pressed his lips to my forehead before we snuggled closer together and fell asleep again.
Exactly a half hour later Alice stormed back into the room and literally dragged me out of bed and all the way to her room. I guess she was really in a hurry to get me ready.
"Ok Bella, hurry up and get changed so Rose and I can do your hair and makeup." Alice ordered as Rose handed me my clothes for the day that we picked the night before which consisted of black skinny jeans and a white shirt with a silver vest attached to it and I would add my black and white chucks to the outfit later.
Forty five minutes later the three of us were finally ready leaving us with only a few minutes to eat the breakfast Esme had prepared for us.
"Good morning ladies you all look great today." Esme said while piling food onto plates for us.
"Thank you!" We all replied at the same time causing us to giggle as we sat down at the table where the guys were already seated eating their breakfast.
"Wow Bella you look really beautiful." Edward complimented me as I sat beside him.
"Thanks, you look pretty great to." I said with a blush gracing my cheeks as I leaned in to kiss his cheek quickly.
After a hurried breakfast for us girls anyway we were headed off to school in three different cars Rose and Emmett in his Jeep, Alice and Jasper in his Range Rover, and finally me and Edward in his Volvo.
Ten minutes later we were pulling into the school's parking lot and after getting parked and we had our backpacks on our shoulders the six of us headed into the office to get our schedules and I didn't miss the stares that Edward and I were getting from the few people standing around the parking lot and I knew it was only going to get worse as the day went on.
"Yo Mrs. Cope how was your summer?" Emmett asked the elderly secretary in his booming voice.
"My summer was just fine Emmett dear, now I'm assuming you are all here for your schedules?" Mrs. Cope asked as she started to go through a stack of papers on her desk and once she had all of our schedules in hand Alice took them from her and passed us or respective schedules.
After thanking Mrs. Cope we turned to leave the office so we could go and compare our schedules when we saw Angela and Ben walk in and I immediately let go of Edward's hand so I could greet my other good friend with a hug.
"Hey Angela how was your summer in New York with your aunt and uncle?" I asked as we pulled out of our hug.
"Oh Bella it was really great and Ben was even able to come spend two weeks with me there we just got back on Saturday. How was your summer?" Angela asked.
"My summer was ok but we'll have to catch up more at lunch since you and Ben should really get line for your schedules." I replied when I noticed how long the line was getting.
"Yeah definitely we'll see you at lunch." Angela said as she and Ben turned to get in line and we walked out of the office.
When comparing our schedules we found out that we all had almost all of the same classes since we were all taking AP classes. The only differences were fifth period when Jasper, Emmett and I had Spanish while Rosalie, Alice and Edward had French and then sixth period when the guys had conditioning for football while us girls had gym which I was not looking forward to since I knew I was going to end up with so many bruises just like the last three years of having this stupid class I still didn't understand why you had to have it all four years of high school.
"Come on guys lets get to English and try to get seats close together." Alice demanded as she pulled Jasper behind her making the rest of us laugh as we followed.
Luckily we were able to get seats close together for our first three classes before lunch.
When we got to the cafeteria to get lunch after stopping at our lockers it felt like every student in there stopped what they were doing to stare at me and Edward when they noticed us holding hands.
"Just ignore them baby." Edward told me in a quiet calm voice as he gently pulled me behind him to the lunch line to stand behind our friends.
"That's easier said than done when you can feel almost every female glaring at you." I hissed quietly to him and he just nodded before he put his arms around me to try and comfort me while we tried to ignore the shocked gasps that rang out through the cafeteria.
After paying for our lunches we all headed to a back corner table where we noticed Angela and Ben sitting.
"So are you two an item now?" Angela asked in a calm but still surprised voice.
"Yeah we are." I answered with a smile as I leaned into Edward's side and he put his arm around my shoulders.
"Wow I never thought that this would happen but congratulations I'm happy for you guys." Angela replied
"Yeah congrats guys." Ben added
"Thanks" Edward and I said at the same time.
"Now I want to know what happened to finally bring you two together." Angela said in an excited voice. So the rest of lunch was spent talking about our weekend and then Angela and Ben telling us about New York and at one point during our conversation Rose suddenly stood from her seat and yelled at everyone to mind their own business and to go back to what they were doing when she got fed up with the stares and whispers we were garnering and I thanked her when everyone actually listened to her not wanting to get on her bad side and Rose just winked at me.
Finally the last bell rang and the first day of school was over and after Rose Alice and I went to our lockers we met the guys by the cars and after saying our goodbyes to our friends Edward and I got into his car and headed to my house.
"How was gym today?" Edward asked when we were almost to my house breaking the comfortable silence we had been in.
"It was good all we did was get our gym clothes then Rose Alice and I sat on the bleachers and talked all period. Tomorrow is when I'll have to start worrying about getting hurt…we have to play volleyball." I said with a groan just thinking about all of the bruises I'll more than likely end up getting.
"Well at least you got one good day out of that class." Edward said with amusement as he parked outside my house.
"Do you want to come in and do homework together? I don't really want to be alone right now and my parents won't be home for a few hours." I said ignoring his previous comment.
"Sure I'd love to do homework with you." Edward said with a suggestive wink and a goofy smile before he got out of the car and grabbed both his backpack and my overnight bag from his backseat while I grabbed my backpack and got my keys from the front pocket before I made my way to the front door with Edward following behind me.
"Where do you want me to put your bag?" Edward asked after I let us in.
"Oh by the staircase will be fine for now thank you. Would you like something to drink before we get started?" I asked trying to be a good hostess.
"Sure water would be great." Edward replied after he set my bag down.
"Ok I'll be right back make yourself comfortable." I said before going into the kitchen and getting two water bottles from the fridge.
When I got back into the living room I found Edward sitting on the couch with his schoolbooks and binder on the coffee table so I took my own schoolwork out and sat next to him and giving him his water.
Since it was only the first day of school we didn't have that much homework to do so we finished in about a half hour.
"So what now?" I asked after we put our things away.
"Hmm how about this…" Edward said as he leaned his face towards mine until his lips were pressed firmly against mine and I kissed him back for a few seconds before I pulled away to say something.
"This works" I finally mumbled breathlessly which made Edward chuckle before he pulled me in for another kiss, this one becoming heated quickly as he pushed me onto my back on the couch his lips never leaving mine.
"Oops hey kids." I heard Renee say and I quickly pushed Edward off of me almost knocking him off the couch before I sat up and straightened out my clothes before I faced her with a fierce blush on my cheeks.
"M-mom what are you d-doing home?" I stuttered out stupidly
"I got off work early today, I wanted to hear about your first day and Isabella you don't have to be embarrassed about what you two were just doing is perfectly natural and I knew this would happen sooner rather than later and that's why I made an appointment for you to get birth control…please tell me you have used condoms before now." Renee gushed out quickly before I was finally able to stop her.
"Mom please please shut up now Edward and I haven't gotten that far yet now can we please change the subject?" I said hurriedly when I noticed that Edward was just as embarrassed and red faced as me.
"Ok ok we'll talk about it later. Edward would you like to stay for dinner?" Renee asked finally changing the subject like I asked for now anyway.
"Sure Mrs. Swan, I would like that I just have to call my mom and let her know." Edward replied politely.
"Ok that's fine and Edward how many times do I have to tell you to call me Renee?" Renee asked jokingly to which Edward just shrugged his shoulders as he pulled his phone out of his pocket to call Esme.
Dinner went really well that night as we talked about our first day of school including what happened at lunch and what Rosalie did then Charlie and Edward started talking about the upcoming football season and how Edward had a really good chance of getting the quarterback position on the team and finally we talked about college and I was totally shocked and happy to find out that Edward wanted to get into the same school as me that school being Dartmouth Edward wants to go pre-med there he knows he wants to follow in his father's footsteps but he's not sure yet what type of doctor he wants to be yet and I want to go there for English so I can become a writer and/or publisher but anyway I was so happy to hear this news that I kissed Edward full on the lips without thinking about where we were and when I pulled away I thought for sure Charlie would be angry or upset with our PDA but I was shocked to see him smiling at us which made me breathe a sigh of relief.
The next couple of months passed quickly I finally turned eighteen and Alice had thrown a huge birthday party for me at her house and Edward had given a really beautiful bracelet with a crystal heart charm that had belonged to his grandmother on Esme's side of their family and that was truly the best gift I had ever received.
Alice was right when she said that the attention of Forks High would soon be off of Edwards and my relationship because during the second week of school someone blabbed about Jessica Stanley being pregnant and wasn't sure who the father was but she was certain it was either Mike Newton or Tyler Crowley and of course I felt really bad for the girl no one wants or needs to deal with a pregnancy in high school but I was also glad to finally have the attention off of me.
Edward did end up becoming quarterback for Forks High football team and he truly was ecstatic about it and his coach even told him, Emmett and Jasper that they were all good enough to play football in college and even pro later on but Emmett is really the only one who wants to play after high school while Edward and Jasper love football they don't want to play once they get out of high school.
Pretty much every night since the first day of school Edward has made it a habit to sneak into my room in the middle of the night since we both found it hard to sleep without the other. The only nights we weren't in my room was when Alice forced us to have sleepovers but those nights we just ended up in Edward's room.
Now today is the Homecoming dance and I'm hoping Edward and I will finally go all the way tonight, no we haven't had sex yet but we've done everything else you can possibly do without going all the way but I know that I'm ready to take that next step with him.
Anyway Alice, Rosalie, and Angela are all at my house to get ready for Homecoming while all our guys are at Edward's house getting ready. Renee, Esme and Rose's mom Katherine are also helping us get ready.
"Oh Bella honey you look beautiful, all of you girls look so beautiful." Renee gushed with tears in her eyes and Esme and Katherine voiced their compliments with tears in their eyes as well when we were all finally ready for the dance.
I'll bet you're all wondering what we are all wearing right? Well I'm in a sparkly midnight blue strapless dress the ends just above my knees. Alice is in a dress kind of like mine only hers is a sparkly yellow and has thin straps but it really contrasts nicely with her alabaster skin and spiky black hair. Rosalie is in a long elegant strapless red dress that fits her figure perfectly and finally Angela is in a light purple halter style dress that almost touches the floor.
"The boys are here ladies." Charlie called up the stairs and that's when we tried to rush out of my room to the stairs but the three moms in the room stopped us before we could get very far.
"Wait, we want to grab our cameras and get pictures of you girls coming down the stairs." Esme said before they left my room and hurried down the stairs and about a minute later we were called to come down one at a time so Angela went first followed by Alice, Rosalie and then finally me.
It felt like our moms took a thousand pictures just of us walking down the stairs me going slower than the others trying to be extra cautious with my steps since I was in four inch heels that Alice forced me to buy and wear and the only thing that kept me for protesting was knowing that Edward wouldn't leave my side all night if he could help it.
"Wow love you look absolutely stunning." Edward said in awe as he helped me from the last step of the stairs.
"Thank you, you look very handsome yourself." I replied and he really did look great in a black on black suit with a silver tie. I briefly looked away from Edward to look around the room and I noticed the rest of the guys were also wearing suits before I looked back into Edward's eyes again.
"Ok it's time for pictures all of you kids get by the fireplace for group photos first." Katherine said breaking Edward and I out of our love struck gaze.
Finally after about forty minutes of having our pictures taken in every way possible and saying goodbye to our parents we were off to the dance.
Once we were at the dance we immediately found a table that would seat the eight of us and after setting their things down Rose and Alice dragged Emmett and Jasper out to the dance floor while Angela and Ben sat down with Edward and I since I got Edward to agree to wait to dance with me until a slow song came on and right now there was a fast upbeat song on.
Would you ladies like some punch before someone spikes it because you know it's gonna happen." Ben said with a chuckle but we knew he was right never the less so Angela and I both agreed with giggles and said yes to some un-spiked punch.
Both Edward and Ben left to get our drinks after promising us that they'd be right back.
"So tonight's the big night huh?" Angela asked once the boys were out of earshot.
"Yeah hopefully Edward's parents are headed to Seattle as we speak for some medical conference in the morning so they won't be back until tomorrow night sometime and Alice and Emmett are staying with Jasper and Rose tonight so we'll have the house to ourselves I just hope I don't chicken out at the last minute you know?" I asked a little nervously from thinking about later tonight.
"You'll be just fine Edward loves you so much and he'll take such good care of you and go as slow as you need him to." Angela said reassuring me and I nodded my thanks to her as Ben showed up at that second with two cups of punch in his hands.
"Hey where is Edward?" I asked when I noticed he wasn't with Ben.
"I don't know he was right behind me." Ben answered with a shrug as he started to look around and I did the same and when I finally spotted him what I saw made my blood boil Tanya freakin Denali was blocking him between her and the refreshment table as she was talking to him and playing with his tie and Edward looked like he was trying to find a way to get away from her but there wasn't much he could do when he had his hands full with our drinks so I made my way determinedly over to them to rescue Edward from her clutches and a look of relief showed on his face when he noticed me heading to them.
"Tanya, remove your hands from my boyfriend before I do it for you." I said in a fake sweet voice not knowing where this feistiness was coming from.
Tanya did let go of him reluctantly before she turned around and sneered at me.
"I don't know what Eddie see in you, you're just a mousy little girl with absolutely no style a total nobody he deserves someone like me." Tanya hissed at me.
"You know what Tanya first of all his name is Edward not Eddie and you're just a jealous bitch who lost a good man when you cheated on him just because he wouldn't put out and now he is with someone who he loves and knows he can trust and even if he ever broke up with me he would never go back to you even if you were the last woman on earth." I said before I looped my arm through Edward's.
"Come on Edward a slow song is starting and I believe you owe me a dance." I replied and Edward nodded his agreement before he set the drinks he got for us back onto the table before he started pulling me to the dance floor leaving a screeching Tanya behind.
"Wow Bella that was great where did all the feistiness come from?" Edward asked as we started dancing slowly to the music.
"I don't know but it felt really good to stand up to her." I admitted honestly.
Edward and I danced to a few more songs before Emmett asked to dance with me then I ended up having to dance with Jasper and Ben and just as Ben and I finished dancing and he returned me to Edward the music was turned off and Mrs. Cope was walking up to the stage.
"Attention everyone it is now time to announce this year's homecoming court." Mrs. Cope said into the microphone excitedly and everyone immediately crowded around in front of the stage.
"Ok this year's homecoming prince is….Riley Smith." Everyone cheered loudly for the tall blond junior as he ran up to the stage to receive his crown.
"And our princess is….Bree Tanner." Again everyone cheered loudly and wolf whistled for the brunette as she walked to the stage and graciously accepted her tiara before she and Riley stepped back on the stage holding hands.
"Now the moment you've all been waiting for this year's homecoming king is…..Edward Cullen." Edward looked shocked when Mrs. Cope said his name but I wasn't surprised at all. I quickly kissed his cheek before I pushed him towards the stage and he squeezed my hand quickly before he ran up to the stage and bent down so Mrs. Cope could place the crown on his head.
"Ok ok quiet down everyone I still have to announce who your queen is." Mrs. Cope said with a laugh as everyone was still cheering and clapping.
"That's better now your homecoming queen is….Isabella Swan." I gasped in surprise when she said my name and I just stood frozen in shock like an idiot amongst all the cheering that was for me.
"Get up there Bella." Alice yelled excitedly as she and Rose both pushed me rather forcefully to the stage finally snapping me out of it before I slowly made my way up the steps to the stage not wanting to fall and embarrass myself.
When I finally made it safely onto the stage Mrs. Cope placed the crown on my head.
"Ladies and gentlemen your homecoming court." Mrs. Cope said proudly
"Yeah that's my Baby Bell." I heard Emmett shout loudly through the cheering no doubt trying to make my cheeks turn more red than they already were.
"Ok please clear the dance floor so these two lovely couples can share a dance." Mrs. Cope said before Lonestar's Amazing started playing through the speakers and Edward carefully led me to the dance floor where we proceeded to dance in front of everyone.
"God you're so beautiful." Edward whispered before kissing me deeply.
"Edward I'm ready to go all the way with you." I said breathlessly when we broke our kiss.
"Are you sure you're ready?" Edward asked with hopefulness in his voice.
"Yes I'm sure, I love you Edward and I'm ready.
"Alice and Emmett are for sure staying with Jasper and Rose?" Edward asked just as the song ended and a more upbeat song started playing which everyone started dancing to so I simply nodded my head to his question.
"Lets get out of here." Edward said as he led us back to our table to grab my clutch and shawl before leaving without saying goodbye to anyone in our hurry to get out of there.
As soon as we were in his car Edward sped out of the parking lot in a rush to get home and I giggled nervously at his antics.
"Your parents don't expect you home tonight do they because I don't want our first time to be rushed I want to worship your body and make slow love to you like you deserve." Edward rambled out nervously as he parked in his driveway.
"No they think I'm spending the night with Alice and Rose well at least my dad does but I think my mom knows the truth but don't worry she won't tell my dad." I added when I noticed Edward had gone a little pale.
"Ok good, shall we then?" Edward asked as he opened his door and got out before he came around to my side to help me out and as soon as my feet were on the ground Edward swept me up into his arms holding me bridal style.
"Edward what are you doing?" I squeaked out in surprise making him chuckle as he closed the car door with his back before walking us up to his front door.
"I'm carrying my very beautiful girlfriend into the house and then into my room." Edward replied as he got us inside and kicked the front door shut and soon after that he had us in his room and on his bed with him on top of me kissing up and down my jaw and neck heatedly.
"I want this off." I said in a slightly husky and breathless voice as I pushed his suit jacket off his shoulders and started fumbling with buttons of his black shirt but noticing I was having problems Edward gently pushed my hands away chuckling lightly as he stood up to remove all of his clothing quickly before he was back on top of me moving his hands to the back of my dress to unzip it and pull it down and off my body revealing my bare breasts and my sheer black panties and Edward moaned at the sight before he started attacking my body with hot open mouthed kisses.
"I love these panties on you but they have to go." Edward groaned as his lips made contact with the inside of my thigh and his hands grabbed onto the sides of my panties pulling them off of me when I lifted my hips up to help him with his task and as soon as they were gone Edward's mouth was on me his tongue and teeth playing with my clit while he had two fingers moving in and out of me at a fast pace and the pleasure was too much that I came right away into his mouth my knees locking around his head as I screamed his name over and over.
Edward slowly kissed is way back up my body as I was coming back down from my orgasmic high.
"Are you sure you're ready now because there is no going back after this." Edward said after kissing me soundly.
"I'm ready." I said in a sure voice so he would have no doubts before I brought his lips back to mine for another kiss before he nodded and started to line himself up to my entrance but stopped his movements to reach into his nightstand but I stopped him.
"Don't I'm on birth control I have been since the first week of school and I just want to feel you without any barriers."
"Ok but I want you to tell me if you want me to stop at all and I will." Edward said as he once again got himself lined up to my entrance and I just nodded before he started to push in and I winced a little at the slight burn I felt from him starting to stretch me more.
"Just do it fast." I cried out just wanting it to be done quickly like ripping a band aid off and he did as I said pushing all the way in breaking my barrier and I'll admit it hurt like a bitch it felt like my body was tearing in half and I did have tears in my eyes but Edward stopped his movements to let me get adjusted to having him in me.
"I'm so sorry baby I promise the pain will stop soon just let me know when I can move." Edward said in a strained voice as he lovingly kissed my tears away.
"Ok you can move now." I said in a quiet shaky voice after a few minutes of letting the pain fade away.
"Edward started to move inside me slowly at first but I soon found myself wanting him to move faster so I lifted my hips meeting his thrusts and urged him to move faster and he complied.
"I'm sorry love I'm not gonna last long it feels too good." Edward moaned against my shoulder where he was kissing and sucking trying to leave a mark.
"It's ok just let go I want you to." I cried out and he did let go after three more thrusts calling out my name as I felt him cum inside me before his body slumped onto mine both of us spent but Edward quickly moved off my body and slowly pulled out so he wouldn't squish me before he moved us so we were lying on our sides facing each other and I quickly tangled our legs together and snuggled against him not wanting to have any space between us.
"I'm sorry you didn't cum during." Edward whispered after a few minutes of comfortable silence.
"It's ok Edward I knew I wouldn't the first time and you did make sure that I got off before which was fantastic." I said with a giggle and Edward smiled and kissed me one more time before he pulled his covers over us and we fell asleep sated and happy.
