Hey guys! Okay... I'm sorry. I'm apologizing due to some future events that will cause me to update less regularly. Such as tests and piles of homework that will definitely come. My updates might happen every two weeks now. School sucks.

Now... I KNOW you will love this chapter. I just have a feeling...

I just tripped and fell... over NOTHING! I was just walking into the living room when whoosh I fell. I sort of of managed to slide a bit, so now I have a carpet burn on both of my knees and one on my shoulder... sigh.

I own the rights of clumsiness... and several other people own that too, but unfortunately I don't own Twilight.

Enjoy!

Bella's POV

I stood there shocked as I heard the muffled sound of Edward's enraged voice. Oddly, I couldn't hear Tanya's rebuttals. I strained to hear anything other than muffled noises, to irritatingly fail. I turned my attention then to our large living room. Discarded paper cups scattered across the floor, the parties colourful lights still illuminating the room in a soft changing glow, paper plates in the bin overflowing onto the floor, rainbows of streamers and confetti covered every inch of the floor, the blood on the floor, Alice and Jasper embracing sitting on the floor, Alice wailing and sobbing as the pain overpowered her, Rosalie fuming; hands tightly crossed on her chest, tapping her foot impatiently and Emmett staring at Alice, looking tortured, his arm draped across Rosalie's shoulders. There was so many conflicting atmospheres in the room that I felt strangely misplaced, that something was missing. I shifted uncomfortably, readjusting my weight to one foot, and then the other.

I jumped as I heard an audible thump come from the kitchen, a loud thump too. It reminded me of when I fall on the floor as an episode of clumsiness strikes me.

My eyes widened a small fraction as the door connecting to the hallway slammed into the wall, revealing a livid Edward. His features were twisted into a mix of emotions, the dominant emotions being anger and relief. I understood the anger but relief? What could make him feel relief in this current situation. Edward scanned the room before sighing heavily. He then proceeded to walk across the room to sit on the small stage, cradling his head in his hands and massaging his temples with his thumbs.

Without really thinking about it, I made my way over to him, sat on the stage next to him and rested my hand on his back. I felt myself, and himself, stiffen as an electric current ran through my body. It wasn't painful, it was...indescribable, but it felt good, it felt right. I tentatively started to rub soothing circled on his back. He relaxed almost immediately and lifted his head slightly to look at me. His green eyes were full of sorrow as he stared into my eyes.

"I'm sorry." Edward breathed. This made me confused. Why was he apologizing? The situation wasn't his fault. Was he apologizing because of Tanya's abrupt appearance? About what Tanya did? Even though it wasn't his fault at all.

"Why are you apologizing? None of this is your fault, it's Tanya's." I reassured him. He chuckled slightly, no humor evident. I cocked my head to the side, confused again. Edward's eyes flashed to my newly exposed neck and his eyes darkened again, like when I caught him staring at me as Emmett gave me a piggyback. I blushed for an unknown reason. Something about his stare made me feel kind of... I don't know. I just felt anticipation build in me.

It had only been a few long seconds when Edward suddenly broke his gaze from my neck and looked deep into my eyes. I was even more confused than before.

"I'm not apologizing for that. I'm apologizing for being so careless at the park. I shouldn't have done that. It was wrong. I hurt you in so many ways, that I can't forgive myself for. I..." His voice cracked at the end. I was still confused. He had already apologized right? This apology was sweet and all...

"You've already apologized, why are you apologizing again?" I asked.

"That wasn't a proper apology," I was about to tell him differently but he held up his hand, "that was me singing, it said nothing about apologizing in it. It never said sorry. Those words were not mine. Now let me apologize again, properly." I waited as he took a deep breath, ran his hand through his lovely bronze locks and readjusted his position so he was facing me. "Bella... I am eternally sorry for the damage and pain I caused you. I do not deserve your forgiveness, but I want you to know that I regret causing you that pain. I'm so sorry. I won't... I will never put you through that again." His eyes were full of sorrow and regret. I was so full of emotion, and the look of pain on Edward's face did it. I flung myself into his arms and hugged him tight. He was clearly taken aback because it took him a couple of moments to respond to my hug. He gingerly wrapped his arms around me and buried his head in my hair.

"Thank you Edward. It's okay, I forgive you. And I am positive that you will never hurt me again," It was true. Something about Edward and his apology made me believe that he never intended to hurt me. But he did and he was truly regretful.

I pulled away – reluctantly – and gave him a warm, understanding smile. He returned my smile but it didn't reach his eyes – they were still filled with regret.

My attention was diverted to the door to the hallway as it flung open. Tanya stood there, glaring at me and Edward. Her gaze reached Alice and an evil smirk appeared on her face. She strode over to Alice, but was stopped halfway by a flash of blond and black appeared in front of her. Rosalie.

"What do you think you're doing?" Rosalie questioned harshly.

"I'm just going over to finish what I started," Tanya grinned evilly and I knew that her explanation had nothing to do with an apology.

"What are you? You're a sick twisted person, that's what you are. How dare you do that to my sister! That was uncalled for. You're not a bitch, you're a disgusting piece of work!" Rosalie shouted angrily. Tanya didn't seem phased.

"Sorry, I don't understand. I don't speak 'Barbie'." Tanya shot back. Oh no. Rosalie looked like she was about to start a full fledged fight.

"Now Tanya. That was uncalled for. Why can't you see what you've done? Rose is right. I can't believe a person like you can sleep at night. I can't believe that you feel some sort of joy when you cause people pain. What's wrong with you?" I asked irritated.

"Shut up you slut. I don't have to listen to you're crap. I can do what I want. I'm glad I hurt your friend, she deserved it," Tanya hissed. I lost it. I stormed over to her, pulled my arm back and let it fly forwards. My fist came into contact with her left eye. She shrieked and her hands flew up to her face. I wasn't finished.

"That was for insulting Rosalie!" I barked. I then proceeded in kicking her right leg and slapping her. "And those were for being an evil bitch and injuring Alice." I backed away from her as I caught Rosalie's mischievous grin spread onto her face.

Rosalie walked slowly towards Tanya. Tanya was now kneeling, clutching her leg and keeping her eye shut tight. Rosalie took one last step before clearing her throat. Tanya's head snapped towards Rosalie, and she glared. Rose smirked. Rosalie then, abruptly, kicked Tanya in the side, then slapped her twice across the face.

"That's what you get," Rosalie hissed. Tanya was now curled in on herself on the floor, letting out the odd gasp.

Rose came towards me and raised her hand for a high-five. I made my way back to a shocked Edward, who was still sitting on the stage. I kept my eyes downcast, but I could feel his stare boring into me. I sat down next to him and let out an angry gust of air.

"I'm so glad I broke up with her," Edward mumbled, I think to himself. I turned my head quickly to stare at him.

"What?" I asked incredulously. He broke up with Tanya? Am I dreaming? Or is this a joke? Edward smiled triumphantly.

"I broke up with Tanya." He grinned ear to ear. I was so happy! Yes! He broke up with her!

I smiled and flung myself into his arms again. I laughed and so did hear. My laugh sounded relieved and so did his.

"Thank god!" I mumbled into his shoulder.

"Finally," Edward sighed.

After that exchange, the police and Paramedics arrived. Alice was taken to the hospital, and we followed in our cars. Tanya was taken away by the police, and we were assured that we wouldn't see Tanya for awhile.

I was ecstatic. Edward was finally free of Tanya's grasp. He was free from her! But I felt that my happiness was due to something else. Maybe due to the fact that he was now... single. No no no. I pushed the thoughts aside.

Alice was treated by a Doctor. The wound wasn't deep, so it just needed cleaning and a few stitches. Alice wasn't very pleased about the stitches and the wound. She said it 'ruined her look'. Jasper told her that she was beautiful no matter the wound. Alice seemed to perk up considerably.

Alice was allowed to leave the next day, and she decided that all of us should celebrate Tanya's departure. We all decided that we would go to the movies and have dinner at a restaurant in Port Angeles.

I couldn't help but notice the glances Edward gave me after the conversation about him breaking up with Tanya. I couldn't understand them, but I found that I kept glancing at him as well. Something told me that things were going to change. And soon.

So... what do you think?

Are you glad that I got Rose and Bella to beat up Tanya?

What do you think is going to change?

Why is Edward glancing at Bella, and vice versa?

I'll try to update soon... but I'm not making any promises.

Review please!

Bye...x
