Author's Note: Thank you for all the awesome reviews I got last chapter. I want to apologize for all the people who sent me PM…AGAIN.

Bella Swan…

When I got down all the stairs, I turned to the corner to see Lauren sobbing harder. Edward pulled my arm back and turned me around to face him, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

I frowned, "Yeah, I did this to her. She doesn't deserve this…"

He sighed and let go of me, following as I walked to the group. Lauren's former friend looked at me and smiled, "Hey Bella".

I smiled slightly, "Um…hi".

A girl with dirty blonde hair handed me some popcorn, "Join the party".

I looked at Lauren; she was looking at the floor. Everyone was staring at me, waiting. I shook my head and threw the popcorn at the floor, "No! This is not right. You guys are...not being mature about this".

Edward was behind me, nodding his head. He grabbed Lauren by the hand and pulled her off the bench, Lauren looked up and stared into my eyes, confused. The girl with the red hair shook her head, "Um, what are you doing Bella?"

The coach headed toward us, "Edward, get in that changing room!"

I looked at him, "I will see you later"

He gave me a hug, "Bye". Then he was gone leaving me with Lauren's evil posse and a popcorn covered Lauren.

"What are you doing Bella?" They asked again.

I sighed, "When I said you need to get a life that Lauren isn't in I…wanted you guys to forget about Lauren and live your own life not mess up Lauren's life".

They looked confused, "But you are the one who started this. You are the one who said that she was using us. You…lied to us?"

I shook my head, "No! I meant…" I sighed, gathering up my information. Geez, they were as stupid as Lauren, "Okay, you guys use to always follow Lauren, loved Lauren, and admired her. But what I am saying is that you guys need to stop and forgive her for that…I mean we all are mean, right?"

They nodded.

"Then maybe, you guys could forgive her and just live your own lives. I mean we are all girls, right? It is hard to forgive but just…don't do this, okay?"



"Why?" They asked.

I looked up at the sky, why me! "Well…because look at Lauren! She looks terrible. Let's act like women, okay?"

They rolled their eyes, "Whatever…"

I smiled, "If you act like Lauren now…I will do the same thing all over again and I will not do this again, okay?"

They sighed and walked away, eating the popcorn. I turned to Lauren, "You alright?"

She nodded.

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her up the stairs to Alice and Rosalie. "Wow, what happen to…her" Rosalie asked when we came up to our roll.

"Question later, lets fix her up" I said grabbing my purse.

Alice shrieked and jumped up, "Finally, something to do!"

Rosalie got up and stretched, "Let's do it".

We took Lauren to the bathroom and pulled her hair out of her face. She looked terrible and it is entirely my fault, I feel horrible. I have been acting bitchy these pass weeks.

"I am sorry Lauren," I whispered.

"Yeah, I am sure you are" Lauren said quietly, her voice cracked.

"Lauren I didn't attend for this to happen…" I shook my head as I took the popcorn out of her hair.

She scoffed, "Yeah right".

I took out my brush and pulled her hair in a bun and wiped off her clothes as Rosalie and Alice did her makeup. "If I didn't care I would have left you there, to get tortured" I said, flatly.

"If you cared you wouldn't have done this to me in the first place…"

I sighed, "Because I didn't care in the beginning"

"Of course you didn't you didn't care at all. You didn't care about taking Edward away from me, you didn't care about my feels, and you don't care about my life"

I straighten up, "Like you never did anything to me or anyone in this school! You are still the same Lauren from sixth grade. Just to let you know, you are a brat and a spoiled...girl. You need to grow up".



Lauren didn't say anything. Maybe she was thinking about what I said, or maybe she was planning my death…either one would be good for what I am doing right now. I pulled out my perfume and waved them at Lauren.

"Which one?" I asked.

Lauren shrugged..

I rolled my eyes and spayed the perfume all over body, she still smells. I sighed, "You smell…"

Lauren folded her arms around her body, "Well, I wouldn't stink if you wouldn't have told my friend that I used them. We wouldn't even be talking right now".

I rolled my eyes, "You better be happy I did this to you because if another girl stood up to the bitch of the school and did the same thing I did to you, I would laugh my ass off, okay? So, stop whining at me trying to blame all this on me when you did this to yourself! You are the one who make everyone mad; I bet people cry every day because of what you do to them! You know what that is called, Lauren? It is called, what comes around goes around and you will be getting a lot of it".

We were both furious. I looked at Rosalie and Alice, "You guys can go without me, I need to clean up the mess"..

Alice looked confuse, "Um…the janitor can clean this up"

I looked at Lauren, "No, I think I need to clean this up for myself and everyone else"

Alice frowned, "…Okay"

They left, leaving me with Lauren.

We stared at each other a full minute before she flinched, "What do you want from me?!"

I laughed, "I don't want anything from you. But you need something from me…"

"What?"

I walked toward her and hugged her tightly. She fought, "Get off me! You are so annoying!"

After awhile she stopped fighting and shouting and just stood. I let go and smiled, "Now don't you feel better?"

"No!" She shouted and walked out.

I grinned, "Yeah…sure you didn't"

I grabbed my purse and went back to the game.

After the game (we lost) I went to the locker room and waited for Edward. When he came out we walked to the car in silence. "What happened?" He asked when we got to my truck. "Oh, I sorted it all out and I cleaned her up…oh! And I hugged her," I smiled again.

Edward laughed, "Really? What did she do?"

"She fought but gave in after awhile…" I said.

Edward smiled and patted my shoulder, "You did good, kid"

I frowned, "Umm, never say that again"

He smiled, "Sor-ry."

I jumped into my truck, "So you want to come to my house?"

"Sure" He said, quickly.

"Emmett can find a ride," I smiled.

He smiled back and jumped in. I drove out of the school parking lot and into the streets.

"Good game tonight" I said.

Edward scoffed, "Yeah, right. Only if Joey was faster we could have gotten that last point!"

"Ah, don't be hard on yourself," I said.

He looked out the window, ending the conversation.

I pulled into my house and walked out. Charlie was gone, must be doing over time again. I opened the door for us and turned on the television. "Make yourself at-"I looked at Edward; he had his feet popped up on the table, "-home".

Edward smiled and patted the seat next to him. I sat down and rested my head on his hard chest, I smiled. I looked at the television for a few minutes before my eyes came heavy and I closed them, reluctantly.

-- --

"Bella!" A voice yelled.

My eyes flew open, "Mmmm…"

Emmett was in my face, "The party starts in an hour"

I tried to move but Edward was holding me, snoring. "EDWARD!" I yelled, "I HAVE TO GET READY!"

Edward's eyes widen, "Bella!"



"What?" I asked pulling out of his arms.

"I need to get to my house," He said quietly.

Emmett jumped in, "I will drive you".

I ran upstairs for a quick shower; I slid my dress on and started my makeup.

After I was done with my makeup and my hair I called Alice, "Hello? Alice! Are you ready?"

"Duh"

"Can you pick me up?" I asked, as I put my heels on.

"Yeah, I am on my way now, Edward is with me. Here he wants to talk to you" Alice said, I heard a few yells and a smack.

"Hello?"

"Hey Edward" I said softly.

He cheered up, "Hey Bella! I miss you"

I grabbed my purse, "Me too. I will see you soon, okay?"

I heard him smile trough the phone, "Okay, bye. I lo-"

I waited for him to finish, "Hello?"

He sighed, "Yeah, I am here. I will see you later bye"

He hung up. I frowned at the phone as it beeped over and over, "Well…bye". I checked myself one last time before grabbing my house keys and my thing. I walked out to the dark, cool night. I sighed, enjoying to sight of the start above me. I heard a disturbing honk of the Volvo. I walked to the car and hopped into the back with Edward, "Hey you guys".

"You look amazing" Edward said looking at my whole figure.

I looked at him, "You don't look bad myself"

He laughed nervously, "Thanks"

We pulled up at the party and got out. The house was blasting; we could hear the music from where we were. I am surprised no body has called the police yet. Edward took my hand and gave it a squeeze, "Lets party!"

We got into the house and found Rose and Emmett. It was crowded kind of; must of the people were in the back or upstairs…doing god knows what. I looked around for Lauren, I bet she didn't show up but I still had chances. Edward and I got a drink and looked around.



"You ready to dance?" He asked.

I hesitated. How people were dance on that floor is not dancing…

"Um, how about later, when things calm down a little" I said, I took a sip from my drink.

Edward saw Alice and Jasper going to the dance floor and pouted.

"Please?" He asked, looking at me.

I glared at him, "Cheater…Arg! Fine."

He grinned grabbing my hand making me drop my drink. We head toward the dance floor, when we got there we found a spot far from everyone. "Edward…I" I looked at people near us; whom were grinding, "don't think we should dance to this song".

He thought, "It isn't that bad"

"Edward! This is going to be awkward! And…god damn I can't take any more awkward moments" I said, mad.

He took in a deep breath, "Can next song and the whole song. No fighting either."

I folded my arms, "Fine".

We walked hand to hand around the house, until the song was over. When the song was coming to an end we went back to the dance floor. "Okay, this song is for all the couples out there. Show some love and saw how much you love them" The DJ announced.

I bit my lip, "Crap".

Edward felt hurt, "Geez"

"Oh, I am sorry. Okay, lets dance, then" I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him into the back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He seemed surprise but grabbed my waist and swirled us around. I rested on his hard chest, breathing in his smell, I looked up at him. He looked back and after a minute we looked away and moved closer.

I played with his hair and closed my eyes. I heard a shriek coming from behind us, I opened my eyes to see Alice and Rose behind us. "Oh my god! Get my camera" Alice said as she looked through her purse; while Rose made little heart around us. I sighed and looked at Edward. He smiled, "Alice will be Alice and Rose…will be…something".

Rose hit him in the arm, "Shut up"

Edward pulled me closer and moved us away from them, by an inch. I fell back to his chest and closed my eyes, "This is nice".

He pressed his lips on my hair, "Yeah, it is".



I frowned, was his lips really on my hair? I wanted to check but Edward was holding my back in place making it impossible to move. I loosened my hands on his neck and moved my head a little. The song was over and Edward let me go, grudgingly. He pouted, "I want another dance…"

"After I get something to drink," I said grabbing his hand and heading to the kitchen. Mike was with Jessica in the corner, they walked toward us. "Hey guys, having fun?" Jessica asked.

"It has been interesting…" I answered while Mike and Edward talked about the game. "I love your dress, where did you get it?" Jessica asked as her eyes gazed at my dress.

"I don't know Alice bought it for me" I confessed.

"Oh well you guys have a great night. We don't want to ruin it" Jessica said dragging Mike behind them. I grabbed a drink and sat in the nearest chair. Alice and Rose were coming toward us, I got nervous. "You want to go for a walk?" I asked, getting out of my seat.

He nodded.

We walked out of the back door and decided to walk around the block before heading back. It was cold outside and I didn't bring my jacket, I wrapped my arms around my chest. I moved in closer toward Edward to get warmer, "It is cool outside…"

Edward became alarmed as he felt my arms, "Bella, you're freezing"

I bit my bottom lip and shivered. He wrapped his jacket around me and hugged my body, "Maybe we should go back?"

"No, I will not go and face Alice and Rose…yet" I said.

He sighed, "Okay"

We continue walking the street light was on and the breeze for the night made me shiver. "Um…Bella…" He said, nervously.
