A/N-Go ahead and read the chapter first, it will give me time to come up with a lame excuse for the long update ;-) BTW….There may be tons of editing mistakes, but I didn't want to take MORE time to check and correct.

Bella POV

Ok….What the fuck? Seriously…What the fuck! Did that just happen? Did Edward really just leave me in a storage closet storming out of here pissed off for something that he started? The whole jealous thing started with him doing it first! Had he not done it and had I not figured it out, it wouldn't have come down to this. I only used Jacob because he started it with Jessica. Screw that. I'm not going to go following him and kiss his ass for something that he did wrong first. I'm I sorry for it? No. I'm only sorry that I let my big mouth get me in trouble again. He should be the one apologizing to me for his idiotic idea. Now what do I do? The bell has rung for first period and I don't want to walk in the classroom late. Fuck!

I hopped back up on the counter and sat there swinging my legs waiting for the bell to ring. I played FallDown on my iPhone to pass the time and keep my mind off the fact that I was in a stinky closet after being abandoned like a baby at a fire station. Stupid jerk. Who takes someone to a closet anyway? It's so stupid and tacky. I'd rather have just gone to the backseat of his car, at least it was cleaner. Of course I wasn't complaining about that when he had his mouth all over me, but that was then and this is now. `

Finally the bell rang and I slowly opened the door to make sure that nobody was out there. It was all clear, so I headed to my second period and paid attention to everything the teacher was saying word for word and taking notes. Anything to keep my mind off the predicament I found myself in. Hopefully this day would go by fast so I could just go home and crawl under the covers and sleep this whole day off. After class I went to my locker like every other day. The only difference was I was throwing my stuff in there very loudly and cussing under my breath as stuff started to fall out.

"Jeez, what bit your butt? Seeing that you and my brother were both missing from biology and after that scene in the parking lot, my guess would be him. Any good news?"

"Well it's not anything new. You're brother is an asshole, but you already knew that. I told you that the first day."

"Whoa whoa whoa…..what happened between you two?" Alice asked.

I told her everything that happened from the moment I was pulled away. I left out some details since…well….who wants to hear all the gory details about their brother. I let her know all that he had said and how he just left saying he was done.

"What? That doesn't make sense! He did it first!"

"My words exactly! He's just a stupid guy and you know how they think that their feelings matter most in the world. It's not fair right?"

"Nope, totally not fair, so where is this asshole brother of mine?"

"Hell if I know. When he slammed the door, I didn't exactly run after him." I shrugged.

"Well let's go see if his car is in the parking lot before we head to lunch."

"Ugh…Fine, but you want to know, not me. I can care less." Keep telling yourself that, maybe you'll eventually believe it.

"Of course, I just want to see if the jerk left me at school with no ride home."

"Shit! That's right! I was planning on asking him for a ride home today as part of my brilliant plan. I can't get on Jake's bike again. It was pure luck that I got on it the first time." I frowned. We walked to the parking lot and looked to see if Edward's car was parked in the spot it had been this morning. It wasn't. He must have left school, lucky bastard. I was stuck here without my car.

"Well there's our answer." Alice turned around and started walking back in the school with her arms folded across her chest. "What the hell did he expect, for me to ride that magical dog from that movie Never Ending Story?"

"Falkor."

"What?" Alice asked in annoyance.

"Falkor, that's his name, and he's not a magical dog he's a dragon." I said.

"Well aren't you just the regular everyday Atreyu?"

"What? I know my movies! Don't be jealous, you can be Auryn, my guide." We both laughed. It was something that I needed at the moment.

"Well anyway, we can ask Emmett for a ride home. I'm sure he won't mind."

"No that's alright. I really don't feel like being here today, so I'm just going to call my dad and have him pick me up. I'll play sick."

We went into the bathroom so that I could use my cell phone to call Charlie. When he picked up, I put on my best fake I'm in pain sick voice. Of course he bought it. After hanging up I decided I might as well go on about the day as normal till Charlie got to the school to pick me up. He said he was going to be awhile since he was working on some paper work, but would be here as soon as he could. Alice and I walked to the cafeteria. I wasn't all that hungry, so I just picked up an apple and went to sit and sulk with the others at the table.

"Well did it work?" Jacob asked.

"Hell no! He got mad when I told him about the jealousy plan."

"You actually told him about it? Why would you do that? That's just stupid."

"Well Jacob, it's nice to start a relationship by being honest." I crossed my arms.

"You were in the heat of the moment and blurted it out didn't you." He smirked.

"Yes, now leave me alone." Damn I was stupid to tell him. I should have just kept it to myself or told him only about me knowing about his plan all along. I sat there for the rest of lunch quietly listening to the others talk. I couldn't tell you what they were actually talking about since I was still lost in my own head.

In a way, I was kind of relieved that Edward wasn't here. It would have made the situation ten times more awkward. Instead of getting pity stares from Alice, I'd also be getting death glares. After the bell rang, I walked to third period like usual with Jasper. I'm sure he sensed I didn't want to talk, so he just walked with me. As I suspected, there was a note waiting for me saying to go to the attendance office. Thank you Charlie. The ride home was silent until Charlie was wrong. I said the first thing that came to mind that would make him not ask anything further.

"I'm having really bad period cramp. My uterus feels like it's gonna explode or something."

"O-o-ok." He stuttered as his cheeks turned pink and stared out of the windshield without giving me a look. That's where I got that damn blush from.

Charlie dropped me off at home without another word. Let me note that period talk always goes good with dads. I went ahead and cooked dinner for Charlie so that all he had to do when getting home was warm it up. I wasn't planning on coming down at all tonight and didn't want to be bothered. I went up stairs and put in my iPod ear buds. I automatically went to one of my favorite bands that I listened to when I was having days like this. As the Pixies played, I laid in bed letting my mind be free of all the drama that happened today.

Of course, it was working till Where is my Mind came on, then I started to think again. Seriously, where the hell is my mind? It has been all over the place since meeting Edward. This was the exact reason why I didn't want to get in another relationship. Relationships drive you fucking crazy! Sad thing is, we weren't even in a full blown relationship yet. Maybe for like the 5 min when we were in that closet and look how great that turned out. Imagine the chaos we would cause. Even knowing all that, it didn't out weight how much I liked the way Edward made me feel. It made all the craziness worth it.

Damn it! I'm acting emo! I changed the song and at some point fell asleep as I laid there with a blank mind yet again.

Edwards POV

How did I get myself in this situation? How did I get from being Edward Cullen, guy who didn't give a fuck about stupid relationships, to Edward Cullen who is a pussy laying in bed listening to The Smiths….AGAIN! Fucking Bella…..that's how I got myself into this situation. Her ass turned me upside down and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna pass the fuck out from the blood rushing to my head.

I was pissed when I got out of that storage closet. There was no way in hell I was going to make it through a full day of school without taking my anger out on some innocent person. Jessica learned that the hard way proving my point. She saw me on my way to my car and grabbed me by my arm asking me if I wanted company where ever I was going. I yelled at her to not fucking touch me. In fact, not to ever talk to me again and to answer her question, no I didn't want her company because I didn't know where the fuck she had been, but telling from that blister on her lip, it wasn't anyplace good. I did feel kind of bad for it now seeing that I made her cry, and also like a fucking little bitch going off on a girl making her cry in front of a crowd. All I had to do was throw one little foot stomp in my rant to make me a drama queen. Who knows, maybe it was just a fever blister, but I sure as hell wasn't willing to find out. I did mean everything I said, but I could have told her in a nicer way, not in my moody fuck the world way. She just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, so it's not really all my fault. I know Jessica didn't ask to be in my little jealousy plot, she was just the first person that I saw who caught my attention. There was nothing special about her; it really could have been any girl, even that chick that wore a back brace from trying to play football with the guys. At least she would have been tough enough to take me spewing hate from my mouth at her. I mean come on, anyone who could take a hit from a 200 pound guy, could take a little word abuse.

Oh well, what's done is done. I wonder how she knew my plan anyway. I needed to just get over all this, but thinking about Bella using steroid king to get me jealous just made me mad all over again. I wonder how she knew my plan anyway? Was I that obvious?

But Fuck, why does this shit make me mad? She used Jacob to make be jealous only after finding out I was using Jessica for the same reason. She went with that plan instead of just coming up to me and getting all pissy the way I did. Hell, she could have just decided not to talk to me ever again after my little stunt, but here I am moping on my bed being mad at the wrong person. The person I should be mad at is myself. I put us in this position that we are in now. Fuck, I put us in a position that could possibly have her not trust me ever after all that she has been through.

With that thought, I jumped out of the bed and out of my bedroom door.

"ALICE!" I yelled running down to the second floor.

Her bedroom door popped open, "What do you want jerk?"

"I need a favor!"

"Oh, kinda like the favor I had to ask Emmett to drop me off at home after school since you had a bitch fit and left me stranded?"

"Shit, Sorry about that, but this isn't about you right now. It's about Bella. I know I fucked up, and I have to apologize."

"Ok, so go see her…..you have a car smart one."

"I know that, but I don't want to risk her dad seeing my car, or someone calling in a suspicious car parked across their house. Just drop me off, and I'll figure out a way to get back. I'll call Emmett or Jasper. I'll run back if I have to."

"Ok ok, don't be so over dramatic. I'll drop you off then call me when you are ready. I'll go back to pick you up."

I pulled Alice into a hug surprising her and myself, "I owe you one!"

"Pffft, please. You owe more then one!"

We headed to my car and drove toward Bella's house. Alice turned off the headlights and parked a ways off from the actual house.

"Alright, so which is her room again?"

"It's the one around back with the big tree right out side of it."

I got out of the car and walked the rest of the way. I tried to walk as quiet as I could toward the back. The living room light was still on. I also noticed Charlie's cruiser was parked in the driveway, so I know he was home. I hoped that she was actually in her room. I was not about to look through that window and chance being faced with a shot gun from her dad. Once I made is to the back of the house with no bullet holes in me, I spotted the tree and the window. Fuck that was high. Do I throw rocks at her window? What if I break it? I may be giving my strength a little too much credit, but I didn't want to test it. I just wanted to get up there. The only option I had left was to climb. Hopefully I wouldn't fall and break my neck. That wouldn't be good. I like my head right where it was at, safely above my shoulders thank you very much.

I took in a deep breath, "Well here goes nothing." I said to myself. I pulled myself up maneuvering around branches and getting smacked in the face by once I would push aside. I finally made my way to the branch that was closet to her window. I held on to the one above me and started slowly making my way closer to her window. I gave a little hop on the branch every couple of inches to make sure it would hold me. Once I got close enough to her window to touch, I looked inside. I could see her lying on her left side facing the window. I could tell she was asleep. I was starting to feel bad about waking her? Maybe I should just go.

No screw that…..I didn't just risk my life climbing up this bitch to give up now. I reached my hand over toward the window and tapped on it lightly……….nothing. I tapped a little louder………..What the hell? How heavy of a sleeper was she?

From the outside, I could tell that the window was unlocked. I reached over and slowly lifted the window to open it. Once open, I swung my leg over and pulled the rest of my body in as quietly as I could. It was a relief being inside with my feet on an actual floor and not on a branch that who knows could have broken just to be an asshole. I took a deep breath and walked over lightly toward the edge of Bella's bed. She looked so peaceful sleeping. Her hair was splayed across the pillow and she was curled up sleeping on her side with one arm tucked under her head and the other hand nestled between her knees. I don't know why I had the urge to do it, but I leaned in closer just to smell her. The nook of her neck was calling me. As I inhaled and retreated with a smile on my face I suddenly felt pain rather than pleasure in my nose.

"What the fuck!"

"Edward?" Bella asked surprisingly.

I held my nose in my hands and pulled them back to make sure I wasn't bleeding. "Yeah it's me! Fuck! That hurt!" I whispered yelled. I might have been in pain, but I was smart enough not to get any louder and risk getting pain from a bullet.

"Good! That'll teach you to not sneak in girl's rooms and sniff them like some perv." She was now sitting up in her bed with her arms crossed.

"Well I didn't think that would have woke you up being I was tapping on your damn window and you couldn't hear it. You were like a bear hibernating. I'm surprised you were snoring. Do you have snacks tucked under your pillow?"

"Whatever….Is that what it was? Did you catch a scent of a burger and busted in here Burger Burglar?"

"No it was you god damn neck all exposed like that. I couldn't resist." I admitted.

She stayed quiet for a second, shockingly, then let out a small sigh, "What do you want Edward? Did you come to yell at me some more?"

I slowly walked back over to her with my hands raised and pointed to the open spot beside her on the bed. She slightly nodded and moved over a bit. I sat down next to her, "No that's not why. I came here to tell you that I'm an asshole….."

"Duh, I figured that out from the first day I met you."

"Would you let me finish?" She grinned a bit. "Once again, I came here to tell you that I'm an asshole FOR the way that I reacted today. You just hit me with that all at once, and I guess my asshole instincts took over. I didn't think that what you did was exactly what I had been doing also. You should be yelling at me."

"I should be……but I don't want to." She grabbed my hand. "I just want to be over it and forget that both of us played that dirty card. We can look back on it later and laugh. How about that?"

I was relieved to be hearing those words from her. "That would be fucking great. I want nothing more to just start over and forget that we both are idiots who wasted time on other people when we could have been spending it together. Who knows, by now I could have given that window a workout."

"Ok now, you are giving yourself a little too much credit. Who's to say I would have let you come into my window?"

"Come in your window? Is that what you kids are calling it these days?"

"Perv!" We both laughed until we heard the pound of footsteps coming up the stairs toward Bella's room.

Fuck, I'm dead………..

ENDING A/N- OK ok ok….I know it's been a lonnnng time for an update and not a good long. I just didn't have motivation to write. I lost my writing mojo. :-( I've been focused on my pregnancy which seems to occupy my mind most of the time. I had a bad case of pregnancy brain. BUT I have now found my grove and gotten some motivation and have gathered some funny material that I can't wait to share with you guys in the coming chapters. You guys got to keep on me about updating, otherwise, my motivation is gone……….For those of you still reading, thanks for keeping up with the story and I hope I didn't lose readers due to my laziness.
