Thank you to those who reviewed and I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter.
I had this chapter planned and ready to be up by last week, but the system was down and wouldn't let me. Then my computer almost crashed and stuff so I didn't want to post it in case of anything bad happening. So my computer is fine and the system is working now, so here is your update!
DISCLAIMER: NEVER OWNED OR WILL OWN TWILIGHT OR THE CHARACTERS!!!! Though if I did I would be famous for it!! :D
---------------------------------------
Bella POV
Once I returned home I was relieved to see that Charlie was still out with his friends, my guess either at dinner or chatting with them. Either way, I didn't care. It gave me time to get in and not be questioned about my horrific night.
I went up stairs and grabbed my bag that I took to the bathroom with me along with my favorite sweat paints and one of my oldest, most comfortable, t-shirts and went into the bathroom ready to take a shower.
I stepped in and turned the temperature to the highest it would go and allowed the steaming water to cascade and frame my body. It relaxed my muscles and as soon as I started to think about the night all over again, I began to cry. There was something about crying in the shower that made it all better. Maybe because you didn't get all gross and snotty since the water washed away the tears and any signs of crying.
After my shower I stepped out and changed into my pajamas. After running a comb through my hair I pulled it into a ponytail I headed back into my room with my clothes and bathroom bag. I didn't want to think about anything more tonight so I pulled my covers down, lay down and tried to fall asleep.
Sleep didn't come, but when Charlie entered my room I pulled out my best acting skills and he eventually left.
I eventually fell asleep and awoke to the sun shining in.
I went down stairs and was thankful to find that Charlie wasn't home. He left a note saying he had to go into work and so I made myself breakfast and settled into the living room turning on the T.V. and tuned into the music videos countdown.
My cell phone was placed next to me and I noticed I had five missed calls from Edward, but I really didn't care anymore. I didn't want to talk to him, he should take the hint.
There were also text messages on my phone that had been left unread until I decided to read them.
Bella, talk to me please.
That was the first one he sent me.
I'm really sorry, just answer your phone. I need to talk to you.
Read the second one.
The last one though was from Alice.
Bella, answer Edward. He's really sorry and needs to talk to you. So he can explain himself.
I decided I needed to answer one of them so I called Alice.
"Hey, you finally answered." Alice said with her cheerful voice.
"Well, I didn't hear my phone at all this morning. I just woke up. But I wouldn't have answered him anyway." I told her.
"Bella, you need to talk to him." She told me.
"Why? Why do I need to talk to him?" I asked her.
"He needs to explain himself so you can forgive him." She told me.
"Ok, well right now I am not ready for that. In fact, I don't know when I will be. I don't want to talk to him at all this weekend, I'll see where I am on Monday. If I feel like talking to him I will find him myself. Ok? Can you rely that message to him?" I asked her.
"No, if you want him to know that, then you tell him yourself." She told me.
"Ok, fine. I don't want to put you in the middle Alice and this isn't something you need to take sides on, because it's really not that big of a deal to me. Just don't call me for the next couple of days." I told her and then hung up. I couldn't play it cool anymore, this whole thing was stupid, and I knew that. But I didn't want to be bothered or talk to anyone this weekend. I was going to stay in my room and read and watch movies and T.V.
Don't call or txt me anymore. I'll find you when I want to talk.
I quickly sent the text to Edward and returned my attention to the T.V and cereal.
------------------------------------------
Edward POV
Don't call or txt me anymore. I'll find you when I want to talk.
Was the last text or any way of communication I got from Bella, and that was two days ago.
It was Monday now and I was anxious and nervous to see how the day would go. We had Biology together and art and we sat by each other in each of those classes and at lunch. I hoped she would talk to me today and give me a chance to explain myself.
I drove to school with Alice as usual and made my way into the school. I quickly went to my locker and took my time since I didn't notice Bella's truck in the parking lot when I arrived.
I was at my locker gathering my books when I turned and noticed Bella with Alice. She looked beautiful as always and when she briefly looked at me, it was nothing more then a small glance but it was enough to notice the hurt and anger in her eyes.
I closed my locker and went to first hour, hoping she would talk to me.
I walked in the class and noticed her sitting there in her usual seat.
I sat down and casually looked over at her a couple times, but she never even acknowledged me.
Class went by and I got nothing out of her, the same with art. She just sat there and drew whatever it was she was drawing, I couldn't tell since she held it up closer to her chest.
Once lunch came along I seriously thought she would either come in and ignore me or maybe she would sit next to her other friends. Instead, she was nowhere in sight. I turned to Alice and asked her where Bella was. She didn't know where she was either so I made my way out of the cafeteria.
I didn't know where I was going to go and look for her but I thought a start would be to see if she left campus, so I looked out to the parking lot and saw her truck there, so she was still here.
I knew she wasn't in the bathroom because Alice always went in there with Bella and Rose before lunch to do whatever girls do in there.
I headed to the library thinking maybe she was in there, but still I came short and couldn't find her.
I don't know what made me think of this but I headed into the art room and there she was.
She was working on something at the easel and she didn't hear me come in. I sat there for a while and just admired her at work. She looked so much more peaceful then when I saw her earlier today.
-------------------------------
Bella POV
I skipped out on lunch, not wanting to spend another minute near Edward then what I needed to.
So I decided to go to the art room and draw for my project. I just started drawing random stuff and before I knew it I had the outlines of a girl with a tear stained face and the drawing was depressing. I took another look at it and notice that I had drawn myself, which wasn't allowed for the project. I was supposed to draw Edward, but that wouldn't work now.
I started working on something else and ended up with the outlines of a guy without a face, I couldn't draw Edward's face. It would bring back pain and I couldn't stand that right now. I took a break from it and just started painting, pointless colors collided together and I ended up with a painting of a collage of colors. I was so into it that I didn't notice someone come in until I heard them speak.
"Are you ever going to talk to me?" someone asked.
I looked up and saw Edward staring at me from a stool.
"How long have you been here?" I asked.
"A while." He answered.
I turned away from him and started to clean up after my mess. Lunch was almost over and afternoon classes were going to be starting soon.
"Bella, please!" He said after I turned the water off from cleaning my brushes.
"No Edward. Not now." I told him.
"Then after school." He suggested.
"Not today." I told him.
"Then tomorrow morning?" he asked.
"Edward! Just leave me alone, ok? Just act like it never happened, any of it. Lets act like we never met, ok?" I told him feeling the start of tears coming. I held them back not wanting to cry.
"No, I cant do that. We formed a good friendship Bella, and I've gotten feelings for you too." He told me.
"Stop it, those are lies. Because we didn't form a good friendship because it started with a stupid bet and lies! And you don't have feelings for me, you cant." I told him.
"But I do." He told me.
"Forget them, because I don't feel that way about you. I cant look at you anymore and I don't want to be around you and I definitely don't want to talk to you. So if you don't want to leave, I will." I told him before I grabbed my stuff and exited the room, the door slamming behind me.
