Chapter seven

There might have been a time
When I would give myself away
Once upon a time
I didn't give a damn
But now here we are
So whataya want from me

Bella's POV

"Ow! Alice, what was wrong with my hair before?" I asked as she pulled at my hair some more.

"Bella, please just let me do this, I'm almost done."

After a few more minutes of pulling and curling she took a step back to look at her work. She smiled and clapped her hands together.

"Prefect!"

I rolled my eyes and got up out of the chair. My legs were stiff from sitting for so long. I picked up Bentley and took him into his room to get him dressed in the outfit Alice already picked out.

"Alice, are you sure this is a good idea?"

"It's a great idea. My parents feel bad about yesterday and they really want to meet you and Bentley, the right way." She said as she made funny faces at Bentley. He giggled at her.

"What about Edward?" Just thinking of him made me mad. I can't believe I trusted him.

"He'll be behaved, if he even shows up. He wasn't home when I got home after school."

I sighed and finished getting Bentley dressed.

"Oh Bella! He looks so handsome." Alice gushed as she spun Bentley around. I shook my head at her and smiled.

"Let's go and get this over with." I said and grabbed Bentley's diaper bag off of the kitchen counter.

It was now or never.

"Come on Bella, get out of the car." Alice said as she tried to pull me from the passenger's side of her car. The first thing I noticed when we pulled into Alice's drive way was that Edward's car was there.

He was home.

"No Alice, Edward is home." I said stubbornly. She sighed and let me go.

"Fine, then me and Bentley will go in."

I knew Alice was playing dirty. I couldn't sit in the car while she had Bentley. How stupid would I look?

"You owe me, big time." I whispered in her ear as we walked in her house.

"Mom, dad, I would like you to meet my friend, Bella. And this is her son Bentley."

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. and Mr. Cullen." They both snorted.

"Please dear, call me Esme, and my husband Carlisle. Mrs and Mr just sound so, old." Alice's mother, Esme said.

I nodded and smiled at them.

Esme went over to Bentley, who was in Alice's arms and started talking baby to him.

"My gosh Bella he's cute. Can I hold him?"

I nodded again and she took him in her arms.

"Mom dad, what's for supper?" I heard a familiar voice say. I turned just as Edward walked into the kitchen, Emmett right behind him.

"Bella!" Emmett boomed and picked me up in a bear hug and spun me around the kitchen.

"Can't … breathe…" Everyone laughed and Emmett put me back on my feet. He walked over to Esme and kissed her on the cheek.

"Bella." Edward said as he grabbed my hand. "Can I talk to you?" I was about to tell him to scram when Esme said supper was ready.

Saved by the bell.

"So Bella, how do you like Forks so far?" Carlisle asked as everyone finished up eating.

"It's not too bad. The people for the most part are nice." I said and looked at Edward as I said it. He put his head on the kitchen table.

The phone rang just as I put the rest of the dishes in the sink. Esme insisted that I didn't have to, but I felt like it was the right thing to do.

"Excuse me for a moment." Esme said and dashed out of the room to get the phone.

"Edward! It's Tanya!" Esme called a few seconds later.

I looked over to Edward who was still sitting at the table. He got up and slammed his fists on the table. He stormed up to his room and slammed his door.

"What was that all about?" Emmett asked as he splashed me with some soapy water. I shrugged and kept washing the dishes.

"I'm going to talk to Edward." Alice said suddenly and left the living room where everyone was sitting. It's been at least an hour and Edward still hasn't come back down. Esme, Carlisle and I were talking about school and what I wanted to do when I was done high school while Emmett rolled around on the floor with Bentley. Literally. It was quiet funny to watch actually.

"It's getting late; I should probably get going home. Thank you for supper."

"Any time dear, please, come back soon."

I nodded. "I'm just going to see if Alice is ready to leave."

"You don't get it Alice!" I heard Edward holler as I got closer to his room. There was a lot of screaming and a few bangs. I took a deep breath before I knocked on his door.

"Go away Emmett!" Edward hollered.

I pushed his door open a little bit a poked my head in. "It's me."

Edward's room was destroyed. There were clothes and papers thrown all over to the place, a few broken CD's and a lamp. Everything was out of place.

Neither one of them said anything to me; they just stood there and looked at me. After what felt like hours Edward Fell to the ground and started to sob. Alice looked at me with pleading eyes. I sighed and went and sat beside him on the floor.

"I'll wait down stairs." Alice said in a small voice and left the room, shutting the door behind her.

"Edward. What's wrong?" I asked. His head snapped up and he looked at me with teary eyes.

"What's wrong?" He said. "Oh the fact that Tanya only called because she knew you were going to be here. Bella please, I didn't mean any of this, drama!" He got up off the floor and started to pace. I stayed in my place on the floor and watched him.

"I hate her Bella, I do! I only went to her house last night because I was scared. I was scared of you pushing me away. Or you have a boy friend that wouldn't let you around me. And you have a baby. It was a lot to take in. I didn't know what to do." He came over and pulled me up off the floor and looked in my eyes. "Please Bella, believe me. I'm so sorry." He let go of me and started pacing again. "I've never liked a girl like you. You have to understand that. It's all so new to me." He stopped pacing again and hung his head. I walked up behind him and rubbed his back.

"It's okay Edward, it's okay."

What was I saying? It isn't okay, is it? Do I believe him?

I do.

He turned around and pulled me into a hug. He started to sob again.

"You'll never truly understand how sorry I am. Please, let me make it up to you."

"I pulled back to look at him. "Edward, you don't have to make anything up to me."

He smiled and shook his head.

"But I do. How about I pick you up tomorrow at seven?"

"What about Bentley?"

"Can I watch him, pleaseee pleaseee. I'll do it for free."

Alice said and ran into Edwards's room. Edward and I both started laughing.

"Sure Alice."

She started jumping up and down then came over and hugged us both.

"Alice, do you mind if I take Bella and Bentley home?" Edward asked as all three of us walked down stairs. She shook her head and skipped into the living room. She came back with Bentley and his car seat.

"See you tomorrow little man, love you." Alice said as she kissed Bentley on the check. She was about to pass him over to me when Edward grabbed him and smiled at me.

"I want to carry him."

"So, what are we doing tomorrow?" I asked Edward as we drove down the highway to my house.

"If I tell you I have to kill you." I watched as a smile spread across his face.

This is the Edward I liked. The happy one.
