SM owns the Twilight world…not me.
I hurried into my house after Edward left because I was going to be late for work.
I drove as fast as my car would let me go, which is about 50 miles per hour.
When I arrived at the store it was unusually busy, which just made me feel worse.
"I'm so sorry that I'm late Mrs. Newton." I told her as I went to my spot at the cash register.
"It's ok hun, we all have our off days and this has never been a problem with you before so I'll let it slid." She told me with a wink.
I breathed out the air I was holding.
"Thanks." I said.
I was kept busy for about two hours but everything started to settle down, and return to normal around 7:30.
I was at the register reading a magazine, when I heard a familiar voice.
"Yeah, I'm looking for Bella." He told Mike.
"She's at the register; don't I know you for somewhere?" Mike asked.
"Probably." He responded.
I couldn't let him see me, I had to run away. I couldn't talk to him now, not after everything that happened. Where to go, where to go?
Hurry up Bella.
He's coming.
I decided to run to the break room.
But it was too late.
"Bella!" He exclaimed.
I took a deep breath in, you can do this.
"Hello, Kyle."
He was there standing in all his beautiful glory. With the brown air that fell to his ear. And the blue eyes that you could see yourself in. And the perfect white teeth.
My ex-boyfriend.
Kyle's 19, a freshman in college. We started dating when I was fifteen and he was seventeen. He was everything I ever wanted in a boyfriend. Smart, funny, and caring, well at least that is what I was made to believe.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him.
He laughs, and puts his arms on the counter and leans into me. "I came home for the weekend, you know my mom, and she always wants me close…"
"I can't imagine why." I say with a roll of my eyes and lean away from him.
"There you go Bella, being all sarcastic. I miss that." He says leaning closer to me.
"You were saying something."
"Oh right, anyway I'm home for the weekend and I thought that we should talk because when I left for school we weren't on such good terms." He said with a smile.
"As far as I'm concerned we are on only ex-boyfriend and girlfriend terms. And how did you even know where to find me?"
"Oh, a little birdie told me." He said with that smile that I would have fallen for last year.
"You mean Jessica?" I asked him. Jessica Stanley was the town's gossip. She can't keep any secret. She's the one who told everyone that her own best friend got an abortion. And she was desperately trying to get with Kyle the last time I checked. And he used her to his advantage, for many different things.
"Yeah, she told me."
"Are you still sleeping with her?" That was one of the many reasons we broke up.
"Why? Are you jealous?" He asked with a smirk.
"No, just wondering if you are still into whores that all." I say right back with my own smirk.
"I really do miss you Bella, and we do need to talk." He said touching my hand.
Don't' look in his eyes Bella, don't look.
But I did and I saw myself there.
Wait, what are you doing Bella?
You have Edward! The freaking beautiful, amazing Edward Cullen. And your are falling for all of your ex-boyfriend scum-bag tricks?
"Fine we can talk, but don't touch me, I have a boyfriend, and I'm pretty sure he could kick your ass."
His eyes pooped out. "You have a boyfriend?" He asked.
"Wow, don't seem so surprised."
"Bella stop joking around."
"I'm not." I say.
He seems scared. "Did you tell him about me?"
"I told him that I had a boyfriend before him, but that's all."
He smirked again. "You're not going to tell him are you?" He asked
"I will, I'm pretty sure, but we just made this whole thing official today, so I haven't had the right time yet. SO don't get your panties in a bunch."
"Wow. I really did miss you, a lot."
"Stop sucking up to me Kyle, what did you wan tot talk about."
"I'm coming back here in two weeks, just in time for your birthday. I want to take you out."
"I have a boyfriend, we just went off this, are you still that messed up?"
"Yeah I heard you, and it would be just to talk, I want to apologize for real…about everything that happened. And I've been clean for three months thank you very much."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"I'm happy for you Kyle. But I don't know what I'm doing so…"
"well give me your number and I'll call you."
Should I give him my number? You had to change it because of him.
"You can call my house. That number is still the same."
He rolled his eyes. "Did you seriously have to change your number, was I that crazy?"
"Charlie made me, and yes you were."
"Whatever, and speaking of Charlie I want to go and talk to him."
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"why?" He asked
"He wants to kill you?"
"Oh come on Bellie Wellie, he does not." No one has called me that for months. Everyone stopped after the incident. I became distracted with my thoughts to remember Kyle was talking to me.
"Bella?"
"Oh…and yes he does."
"Charlie loved me."
"Not after what you did."
"I'm sure if I apologized…"
"Hi Bella."
Oh god.
I knew everything was too good to be true. I get Edward and now he is going to break up with me in the same day.
I gulp.
There Edward is. Standing two feet besides, Kyle, my ex. You can deal with this Bella.
"Hey Edward." I say with a smile. I walk around the counter and greet him with a kiss. He seems surprised and I notice he keeps on looking at Kyle.
"You did come." I said
"I told you I would."
"Hey, you must be her new boyfriend." Kyle said.
Please shut him up, please god.
"Yeah, Edward." Edward puts out his hand and Kyle shakes it.
"Kyle…her ex." Of course he has to be a dumb ass.
My eyes pop out of my head and I can feel Edward looking at me. I see Edward start to become uncomfortable and shove his hands in his pockets and starts tapping his foot.
"Kyle…you should go" I say as mean as I can without cursing him in front of Edward.
"Ok, I'll call you later Bella." He says with his evil smirk.
"Bye Edward." Kyle says.
"Umm, bye." He says.
I don't watch Kyle leave. I just stare at Edward with scared eyes. I start to breathe heavier. He seems to relax when Kyle leaves.
He takes his hand out of his pockets and puts it in mine with a squeeze and smiles at me.
"So how's your evening going?"
I smile "Better now that you are here."
"I'm glad." He says the smile spreading wider.
So he isn't going to ask me about Kyle?
"Do you have to umm still work?" I check the clock. It's about 8:45.
"I only have 15 more minutes."
"Okay, is it cool if I just hang out here for a while?"
"Of course."
"And…umm can you uhh, drive me home? Emmett dropped me off."
"I would love to, but do you want to go and get ice cream with me first?"
Please say yes.
"Yeah." I say with another smile.
Yes!
He doesn't bring up the Kyle thing at all. Not at the store or the ice cram shop. We just talk about how we both want to go to Greece and how we both have never been out of the country.
We are laughing about how Emmett and Rosalie are starting to go out. And how Emmett is becoming whipped.
Then we pull up in his drive way. And we just sit there holding hands in the dark. Then it just sort of pops out of my mouth.
"Why haven't you asked about Kyle, Edward?"
He is silent for a minute, he seems to be thinking.
"It doesn't seem like you want to talk about it, and I'm not sure if you should tell me."
"Thanks Edward."
"For what?" he asks, he seems confused.
"Most guys would get jealous, but I will tell you, it's just not time yet."
He squeezes my hand. "I get that Bella." And then I llok into his grren pools o fhis eyes. Even in the dark I can see the unique color. He closes his eyes and he brings his lips to mine. I kiss him with everything I have. I put my hands in his hair and kiss him. He seems startled by my passion at first but quickly catches up with my movements. Then he pulls away. He kisses me more slowly this time. Then he stops and pulls away.
"I should go in."
"I don't want you to."
"I don't want to either." He says.
"Then don't leave." I say kissing him again.
We kiss again and don't stop until we run out of air.
"I have to Esme is watching."
"Oh…" I immediately become embarrassed. The blood rushing to my cheeks gives me away.
"Don't be embarrassed" he says kissing my cheek. "I told her that we are going out." He says with a smile.
"Will you call me tomorrow?" I ask him.
"Do you want me to?" he asks shyly.
"Yeah, I want to talk to you everyday."
He smiles and it's his turn to blush.
"Then, yes, I will"
"good."
"Goodnight Bella." He says kissing my cheek. "Goodnight Edward." I say kissing his lips.
He laughs at my eagerness. He squeezes my hand one more time then get out and closes the door. Before he goes in he waves at me and I wave back.
I definitely don't deserve Edward Cullen.
The amazing god called Edward Cullen did call me the next day and we talked on the phone…for four hours.
Yeah, it was a long conversation about pointless stuff.
Like I'm pretty sure we talked about if superman or batman was better for an hour. Yeah, we figured out that we were both dorks.
We wanted to hang out with each other today, but Charlie wanted me to watch the game with him today, so I had to stay at home.
Watching television is Charlie's idea of bonding time. So when the game came on I had to say goodbye to Edward.
At least Charlie wasn't going all crazy on me about Edward like I thought he would.
So we sat and watched the game, then the phone rang.
"So help he Bella, if that is Edward, I'm hanging up on him."
I rolled my eyes.
"Hello?" Charlie said into the phone.
"Well that was easy they hung up on me." He said with a smile.
He sat back down then it rang again.
"Uhhhggggg" Charlie groaned.
"I'll get it Dad."
"Thanks Bells."
"Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Bella, thank god I thought it was your dad again."
It was Kyle, this boy better get to it.
"What do you want?"
"To hang out." He said.
"I don't think so."
"Come on Bella, I'm going back to school tomorrow and we need to talk… please?"
"I'm Watching the game with my dad."
"That's ok, I'll just sneak in through your window like old times." He said I could tell he was smiling.
"Fine."
"See you in a bit." He said hanging up.
Bella, what are you doing?
I need closure.
You have Edward.
Nothing is going to happen; I need to tell him what he did to me.
I went to go sit on the couch.
"Who was that?" Charlie asked.
I can't tell him, he WILL freak out.
"Oh, it was just a friend from school."
After another hour of watching the game I went upstairs, saying I was going to bed.
When I got there he was on my bed waiting for me.
"If you try anything I'll scream." I told him.
"Fair enough." Kyle responded.
"Bella," he said standing up coming over to me, "I'm sorry what I did to you, you have to know I love you and I've changed."
"Please, you are just telling me what you think I want to hear."
"Bella, I never meant to get you to start smoking."
"That's not even what I'm mad about!"
"What then?" he asked.
"You didn't treat me right."
"Look at me Bella."
And I did just that. I looked into his clear blue eyes.
Then he kissed me. He tasted like pot, I knew he was lying. I pushed him off me.
"Don't make me yell and I have a boyfriend."
"Oh, please, you don't give a shit about him."
"Yeah I do, I care about him more than I ever did about you."
Kyle rolled his eyes. He laughed "Yeah right."
"I do."
"Not you don't." He told me crossing his arms.
"Yeah I do, he treats me how you used to. He acts like you did just to get me. He's caring, sweet, funny, amazing, and not jealous. That's something you never were."
"You know you want to kiss me." Kyle said.
"Shut-up!"
"No, you know you want to break up with Edwin."
"It's Edward and I don't."
"Yeah you do."
He was really pissing me off now.
I was on the verge of tears. "You don't get it! You stole about two years off my life! Years I'll never get back. You say you loved me, but you didn't treat me like it. I haven't been able to tell anyone I love them because of you for two years! I can't even tell my own Dad I love him because I'll think he will leave just like you. I was depressed for two months after you left. Then, Alice and Jasper had enough of it. They said I better cheer up or they were going to tell Charlie how depressed I was."
"I'm trying to apologize." He said.
"No, you are just trying to get in my pants like usual. You know, I've only known Edward for a couple of weeks…just weeks. And he treats me like a princess, like how you should have treated me….how I expected you to treat me. But I feel all…dirty because of you and I don't feel comfortable telling him about you because then he will feel sorry for me! I can't be treated normally because of you Kyle! You are big piece of shit." And then I broke and I cried.
Just like after he left.
Now I had to get out of this room before he did something. I ran to my car. I didn't care that it was 9 o'clock on a Sunday night and that I had school tomorrow I had to talk to Edward.
He was too good of a person for me not to tell him and he deserved to know.
I wouldn't blame him if he will break up with me after I tell him.
He deserves better than me.
I drove to his house and cried in my car for a couple minutes before calling him.
"Hello?" He answered on his cell phone.
"Edward? I need to talk to you." I said in a shaky voice.
"Bella? Are you alright?" He asked. I could her concern in his voice.
"No, I'm not, I need to talk to you…about me and…Kyle."
"Okay…" He seemed nervous.
I started to cry again.
"Bella…don't cry. Where are you?"
"In your driveway"
"I'm coming down."
Then he hung up, not a minute later he came running through the door and was opening my car door.
I just kept crying.
Edward managed to get me out of my car and carried me to his room.
I didn't see Carlisle or Esme so I assumed they must have gone to bed, so I tried to keep it down. But it felt like an animal was trying to get out of me through my tears.
"Shhhhhhhh, It's ok Bella, I'm here now." Edward kept on saying until we reached his room.
He closed the door behind us and laid me on his bed. He took off my shoes then lied next to me and began stroking my face.
I started shaking I was crying so badly.
Then I managed to start to settle down.
Edward was so patient; he just held me and let me cry.
He kissed my forehead.
I didn't deserve this.
I was sniffling.
Then I managed to get out, "Edward…I need to tell you...about my past."
So guys you all deserve and thank you for your reviews.
Sorry to cut the chapter there, but this is my longest chapter yet. But I promise all of Bella's past with Kyle will be revealed next chapter.
So what do ya think about Kyle?
I actually like writing him, I don't know why.
This chapter and next chapter are going to be very hard for Bella…it makes me sad :[
Anyway, as usual you guys are awesome for your comments and messages :]
They make me smile :]
Anyway keep it up!
