Ok so I'm not getting reviews on this story and it makes me nervous but it bugs me to no end if I don't finish what I started so whether I get reviews or not I'm going to finish this story. I want to say thank you to jmulafferty23 for reviewing.
Disclaimer: Obviously, I don't own twilight or anything in this story. We may share a name but nothing else.
Never separating
(Starts of with a flashback)
I could get lost in his green eyes forever. I knew I had to say something soon otherwise; I would look like a complete idiot. He started to smile and I saw his mouth open to say something else but Jessica and Lauren strolling up in front of us cut him off.
"Hey Eddie! I see you've the town's new chief daughter, Bella." Lauren said this with some hatred in her voice. I couldn't understand why.
"Oh really the chief's daughter huh? I guess you must be a real trouble make then."
It was my turn to speak and I still couldn't. I felt like I was being ganged up on. I know I had a panic look on my face. I looked over at Jasper he always knows to save me. I looked over at him and the one time I needed him he wasn't looking at me but Alice saw it. She came skipping right over.
"Hey Lauren and Jessica. Why do you two get a life and leave people alone? Go work a corner or something."
"Jeez Eddie you gonna let your sister talk to me us like that. I thought we were your girls?" Finally, Jessica spoke up. I knew not to become friends with these people. Instincts score one point popularity zero.
"You're seriously dating this two? And your kin to her? Wow, my thoughts of you just went way low. Alice is like way better than these two. For them to pick on the new girl when they don't even know what she is even capable of is really shady of them. Imagine what they say behind your back."
I don't really know where that surge of confidence came from but I'm sure it had to do with Alice standing behind me. Alice full on laughed along with the rest of the class. Instincts one; popularity point five. Now if he talks to me by the end of the class I will give the rest of the point. Jasper came over to me and whispered in my ear to find out if I was ok. I just nodded and smiled. I went back to my drawing. He, who I did now know is name except Lauren called him Eddie, didn't speak again to them. They huffed and walked away. Mr. Banner settled the class down and called Jasper and I to the front. Of course, he would. I had to walk around this guy now. I prayed to God that I didn't trip. That was the last thing I needed now. But then again that is how I could get him to talk to me. No, no, stop thinking like that. About this time, I've realized God hates me. He has opened the clouds and pointed his finger me and has said, you Isabella Swan will die of embarrassment. What do you think I did? Yeah you guessed it. I tripped. However, this time instead of feeling the hard rock arms around my waist I felt the softest embrace around me to catch me. I looked to see who the savior was this time.
Yet again, I was staring into those green eyes.
I heard Emmett booming laughed and he said, "Ok I take back what I said you don't need a bodyguard you need your own person savior."
My cheeks turned by red and I muttered thank you to him. He smiled at me and said my pleasure. I walked up front and stood with Jasper as we did what seemed like a rehearsed introduction. I walked back to my seat and tripped again but not as visible. I caught myself but had to use him as a prop. He of course laughed. Mr. Banner decided to give us a free period. God bless that man.
I went to go move over to my friend when I heard his voice and I stopped.
"So I didn't get to properly introduce myself. I'm Edward Cullen. Alice's twin, as you already knew that. And no I'm not dating those two girls. They like to think they are my protégé or something like that. Honestly I can't stand them."
Yes!! Give myself another half point. Maybe those points can keep going up.
"Ok, well why did you act like you were going to go along with whatever they were trying to pull off?" I was trying to sound like I was annoyed at him but I don't think it was working.
"I was going to work it out in your advantage but my sister jumped in. I've tried and tried to get those girls to leave me alone. It's probably going to take me actually getting a girlfriend for them to realize I'm not interested."
"Yeah but probably that won't even work. I've been around those type of girls. They are persistent and will not stop at any to get what they want."
"From experience huh? So you going to explain the drawings or not?"
"Oh they aren't anything special. When I get bored, I like to draw and I like to draw still life. I like taking pictures too. Especially of nature, I think nature is the most beautiful thing God created."
"Can I see your drawing?"
I hesitated and then handed it over. I was nervous about it. It was just a picture of the front of the classroom with Mr. Banner sitting at this desk. I never let anyone see my drawings. My pictures yeah they see them all the time. Only Jasper has ever seen them and that is because I've used him as a prop before.
"Wow! Bella, this is awesome. I've never seen anything like this before. I mean I've seen art like this before at a museum, but not just right after it just got done."
"T hanks. Just a habit I picked up while trying to avoid the fights and arguments my mom and dad use to have."
"Can I see more? I would love to."
"Maybe. I never show anyone my art."
"I don't see why not. I hope this is what you are plan on studying when you are in college. You have a natural talent"
"Thanks"
From that day, forward the Cullens, Hales, Swans, and the McCartys were inseparable. According to the whole school, Jasper and I were really lucky. This cliché doesn't accept new people but they accepted us. Eventually Jasper and Alice got over their shyness and got together. With a little help from all of us of course. We went to that party and forced them to come out with their feelings.
I have the biggest crush on Edward and that was evident except to him. But then again why would he like me? I'm just a plain jane. He can have anyone he wants, but yet he is single. Everyone at school thought we were together because well if fit and looked right. You know with Rosalie being with Emmett and then Jasper and Alice getting together. Everyone kept saying it's only a matter of time.
I grew really close to Edward. We spent a lot of time just talking. No one could understand that except our group of friends. That's what I loved about them. Either we could sit there in total silence (and in we I mean all six of us) or we can be in total chaotic trying to figure out what everyone is talking about
Edward and I though talked about each other. I found out that he loves music. He can play the piano and guitar. He likes to read, like me, he likes to read the classics. His parents want him to follow his dad's example and become a doctor. He has considered it and he does have some training but he loves music to much. He want let me hear any of his music he has written. So I told him the day he lets me hear something is the day I show him my art again. We both are stubborn and we aren't giving in anytime soon. He says he is working a very important piece right now. Apparently, he has found a muse.
Which that kind of breaks my heart. I wish it were me. I know it could never me though.
I didn't know what to think. Edward pushed me after claiming we have to talk. It scared me. He has never had that worried look in his face in forever. Not since that accident.
Instead of taking me out the front door, we went pass the stage out to the back in the alleyway. He stopped and looked at me.
"Bella, I know you love me. But I did something you might not like. Actually, you might hate me for it. It brings back a lot of bad memories but I did it for you."
"Ok, just tell what it is. It can't be that bad. So just tell me"
He ran his hand through his hair like he always does when he is nervous. He did this when he was trying to propose. I find it very enduring. I was mentally counting down from three before he started pacing.
3….2…1… back and forth, back and forth in front of me did he walk. I started laughing and pulled him down to me. I made him stop and look at me.
"Edward, honey. Just tell me. It can't be that bad. I know everything you do you at the best interest of us. So just spit it out already"
"Ok so Jasper isn't the full reason why are here tonight. You remember how I was writing songs from this company?" I shook my head. "Well they came across a song I wrote about you. This guy is going to sing it tonight."
"Oh wow that's awesome. How could I be mad at you or upset? I think that's very sweet of you."
"It's about the accident."
"That's fine. I'm sure it's the best song ever. Now stop freaking out and take me back inside."
We went back inside to listen to a few more singers. Some were good and some were not. Then the next performer was like heaven sent. His song touched every single one of us at our table. He was this guy no taller than six-two. He had spiky- blond hair. He talked about how he came about with this song. He was in love with his best friend but she was in love with someone else. When it came down to it, he said some things he shouldn't have. He had to fight to get her back. He came up with this song. She was in the audience, sitting right by us. She smiled and blew him a kiss.
It was obvious they had made up.
You waved your hand and it was done
Said let it be and there it was
A mountain so high
It broke through the sky
A canyon so deep
It'd bring a man to his knees
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles
And Hopeless dreams come true
You made the heavens and the stars
Everything come on, how hard could it be
To make her love me
I said some things I shouldn't have
Tried everything to win her back
I'm human, I messed up
Is she gone, are we done
Forgiveness, another chance
That's all I want, it's in your hands
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles
And Hopeless dreams come true
You made the heavens and the stars
Everything come on, how hard could it be
To make her love me
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles
And Hopeless dreams come true
You made the heavens and the stars
Everything come on, how hard could it be
To make her love me
To make her love me – yeah, yeah
To make her love me
The guy took a bow. I sat there in shock of what he said in those words. It made think of how Edward and I got together. We had a hard road to figure out with each at the beginning but we worked out all right.
"So Bella" I turned to see a smirk on one of my best friend's face, "I hear you've been sneaking around with the star of the football team."
I felt Edward stiffen beside me. I just sat there frozen. I turned to look at her to see if she would finish her accusation, which by the way was true.
I decided a few months ago that I wasted a whole year on Edward. I'm done pining over someone who doesn't even want me. So I started dating. I went out on this date with Mike Newton. He is friend material but not boyfriend. After one date, he was already talking about meeting each other parents and going on vacation for Labor Day, after ONE date. God what was date two, the wedding.
Then one day while in Port Angeles, running errands for my dad, I got a flat tire. James, the quarterback of Forks football team helped me out. Since then we have been on a couple of dates. Edward and James do not like each other. I don't know the whole story there. Their paths don't even cross. James is football and a partier while Edward was all about studying, music, and reading. Basically a nerd like me, but a great looking nerd.
Stop it, Bella.
"I, uh, yeah I have. It's nothing serious. He helped me with a flat and we went on a few dates." I turned to look at Edward. What I saw made me flinch. I saw red in his eyes. Like he could set something fire and not the good kind of fire, if you know what I mean.
"Why?" His voice sound filled with malice. "Of all people, him?"
"I don't know why. It's not serious. A few dates, what's the big deal?"
"No big deal. Just that one of your friends, a best friend at that, hates, no loathes him. And you're dating him. I hope your happy." With that, he got up and walked out. I sat there stunned. I felt the tears brim up. I tried to force the back but couldn't stop it. Alice tried to comfort me but I pushed her away.
I ran out of the cafeteria and ended up running into James. James comforted me and told me everything would work out. He would talk to night James came over and said everything was taken care of. I thanked him profusely. I don't know what was said but for the next few months Edward's only words to me was hey, here, and I'll finish it up tonight. It killed me he wasn't talking to me. Everyone knew it. When I tried to talk to him, it was as if I was talking to air. I couldn't understand it.
EPOV
"Emmett, where are you taking me? I just want to go home. I have a music theory assignment I have to work on. I don't have time for any of your games." Ever since Bella started seeing James, I haven't been myself. I cared for her. Everyone said she cared for me too. That day I found out about them was the day I was going to ask her on an official date. We have always been close. These past few months have been hard on me not talking to her. But after that night that James and his little buddies came and threatened me with Bella safety I've stayed away. She wouldn't possibly understand.
"I'm taking you to hear a conversation that has been circulating around."
"What conversation? About who and what?"
"Just wait, you will hear it ok?"
We came up on the bleachers out at the football team. When I saw Jasper standing there with James, they seemed to be talking and joking around. Of course, Jasper would be nice and talking to James, he is dating his sister.
"Ok, just listen to this."
I just shook my head. Off in the distance, I heard what exactly I had feared.
"Man last night was crazy. That party was crazy."
"Yeah I know. That is how it always with us. Bella has found out we are a lot of fun, as you saw her last night."
"Oh yeah. I couldn't believe that was my sister. She has always been like uptight with stuff like that. How did you get her to go along with all of that anyways?"
"Now don't get mad at me. I slipped her a few drinks with some alcohol in it and there you go."
I felt my hands curl into a tight fist. How could Jasper not get mad? I could feel the heat of anger coming off Emmett as he listened to this. I looked back and saw Jasper's jaw clench but he kept his face calm.
"Man as long as my sister is happy I'm good. But you k now she hates that Edward isn't talking to her. It's literally killing her."
James started smiling. "That was my plan all along. Look, I know you are dating his sister and all. But Edward is a pansy. I had a little talk with him and if I have anything to do with it, she will never talk to him again."
By this time I was so mad I didn't care if I blew Jasper's cover. I stood up and walked over to him. He looked somewhat surprised. He was definitely stunned by what happened next. I hauled off and punched the bastard. I felt Emmett grab me saying remember who you are, remember Bella in all of this. I walked away.
I got home, went to my room, sat down at my chair, and picked up my guitar. I have been working on this piece since I've met Bella. It's just instrumental. I sat there playing, with my hand hurting; Alice came in with a frozen bag of peas. I looked at her and laughed.
"What I always see them use this in show and movies so I figured it would work. I heard what you did and so did Bella. She is not happy. Nevertheless, she doesn't know that truth. Tell her and tell her how you feel. If you don't, you will regret it."
With that, she walked out my room. Not an hour later Bella came storming in my room. With a fury that if I could I'd run away I would. However, I knew my sister was right. So I stood my ground and waited for what was about to come.
