Chapter 11: We Stitch These Wounds

Edward's Point Of View:

Bella took a brief moment to gather her thoughts; well I think that's what she was doing. I waited for her to start. She took a deep breath then said

"I still love you Edward."

"What?"

"I still love you, that day at your place reminded me what I gave up. What I lost. It made me realize how much I missed you."

"Wow. And I thought it was just me who felt that way."

She chuckled, but then she said

"But we can't."

"Why not?"

"Because of who you are, who we are."

"I don't get it."

"Edward, you're a football player, a prep. And I'm an emo goth chick. People will start to talk and things will never be the same for you."

"I don't care."

"Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday though… you will."

"Is that what you think?"

"It's the truth Edward."

"Well I don't buy it."

"Believe what you want."

"Okay I will, I believe that we can make this work, I believe that even though you broke up with me I can look past all that to start over. To be together."

I grabbed her hands, she looked down at the ground. I let go of one of her hands and grabbed her chin and waited for her to finally look at me. Tears were coming, her eyes were slowly turning red. And the only thing that would somewhat help, I pulled her to my chest. She cried softly. I rubbed her back trying to calm her down. Eventually she settled down then looked back at me.

"This will never work."

I smiled, that was the first thing she said when I asked her out the first time. I leaned my head down to kiss her. She deepened the kiss. Soon we were making out in the hallway corner. The bell rang, I stopped the kiss, but I didn't let her go. I looked down at her, she was pouting. I smiled and whispered

"Later."

She nodded, I let her go. She grabbed my hand and we walked to English. Every problem I had seemed to be gone, for once in a very long time, I felt happy.

~Well it's official. Bella and Edward are together! And again I'm sorry that the chapter's short,but I only have so much time to even finish a chapter at school. So ...I have some new ideas for the next few chapters. But for now enjoy the chapter. Please Review. Thanks! ~
