Here is the next chapter and there is only one left after this which I plan to post as well. I really hope you enjoy this chapter. I have to admit im disappointed in it but after taking a whole day to type I don't have the energy to retype it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter and there will be an important AN at the bottom of the page to explain a few things in this chapter.


"Edward, I'm nervous," Bella confessed as she fidgeted with a button on the outfit that Alice had insisted she wear. The Summer was over, all to quickly for either Edward or Bella's liking. They had spent every day together by themselves or with Alice and Jasper. Emmett and Rosalie's house was finished and the family rarely saw them outside of their Sunday night dinners. Esme had explained that they were still in their honeymoon stage. The Cullen's had made Bella feeling more welcome everytime she was there. She spent most of her days at the Cullen house and every night that Charlie was working she was with the Cullens for dinner. Bella, having never experinced a proper family life with siblings, was loving her time with the Cullen family but was still astonished that they loved her as much as she loved them. Edward chuckled and glanced at his girlfriend.

"It's the first day of school. Nothing to be worried about," Edward tried to reassure her. Bella glared at him for a second before turning to look out the window. It was raining heavily outside and although this wasn't anything unusual especially in Forks, it was looking worse then ever. Edward reached over and grabbed Bella's hand drawing her attention back to him.

"I'll be with you the whole day, I promise," Edward said and threw Bella a smile that made her heart beat just a little bit faster.

"Ok," Bella mumbled and gave him a weak smile back. All too soon they arrived at school and they made a mad dash to the front office.

"Good morning Mr Cullen. Welcome back," Mrs Cope, the recpetionist in the front office greeted as Edward and Bella stepped into the small but warm office.

"Thank you Mrs Cope. This is Bella. She is starting today," Edward explained. Mrs Cope move a few forms around on her desk before handing some to Bella and explaining them to her. Ten minutes later they were seated comfortably in the warm English classroom.

"Welcome back seniors," Mr Mason said as he walked in and dumped his overfilled briefacse on the desk. He continued on with telling the class about their senior year. Bella sighed as he handed out the required reading list and realised she had already read most of the list. Edward, sitting next to her was doing the same thing. This was going to be a long school year. After English was Government, then Spanish.

As the bell rang over head signalling that Spanish was over, Edward and Bella gathered their books and he kissed her forehead sweetly.

"I'll see you at lunch," he whispered as he kissed her cheek. Bella gave him a weak smile then followed his directions to her Trigonometry class. Edward would be taking Calculus instead.


45 minutes later and Bella was waiting at her locker for Edward. He was already five minutes late but she wasn't sure which classroom he was in.

"Jessica," Bella called out as the familiar girl walked passed her. The brunette turned to Bella and looked at her strangely.

"Do I know you?" Jessica asked.

"I'm Bella Swan. I'm new here. I was wondering if you have seen Edward Cullen. I'm meant to be meeting him for lunch but I'm not sure which class he's in," Bella said. Jessica's eyes traveled Bella's body before she gave her a fake smile.

"He's in the Calculus room," Jessica said and pointed her in the direction. "But I wouldn't disturb him if I were you. Edward and Lauren were looking pretty hot and heavy when I walked passed."

Jessica sautered off leaving Bella stunned beyond words. Before she could register what she was doing, she was walking quickly towards the Calculus room that Jessica had pointed out. Without thinking she pushed open the wooden door to find Edward against the far wall. Lauren was pushed up against him, his lips attached to hers. She stood watching unable to make her body leave. Edward's hands landed on Lauren's shoulders and he pushed her away. The clatter of Bella's books as they hit the ground startled them both and Edward's faced paled and his eyes grew wide as he realised his girlfriend had seen everything.

"I hate you," Bella whispered loud enough for Edward to hear before turning and running from the room.

"Bella wait," Edward yelled after her. He shoved passed Lauren and ran after his girlfriend. The hall was empty and Bella had a clear path to the front of the school. She internally cursed herself for not bring her own car but knew that she had to get as far from Edward as possible.

"Bella please let me explain," Edward yelled as he followed her out into the pouring rain. Both were soaked through within seconds but neither seemed to noticed. Bella stopped running and whipped around to face him.

"What is there to explain. I understand perfectly," Bella yelled at him as angry tears began to fall.

"She kissed me," Edward sated and Bella laughed.

"Is that all part of the plan you two concocted. What was it, see how quickly we can humiliate the new girl. Well congratulations Edward Cullen, you succeded," Bella yelled back. Edward shook his head furiously.

"That wasn't it at all, Bella. I love you. Why would I want to hurt you?" he questioned.

"I should have known something was up when she greeted you at the restaurant, on our first date. Do you remember that Edward? Our first date," Bella continued completely ignoring everything he was saying.

"She kissed me Bella. She cornered me in class and kissed me. I want nothing to do with her and if you loved me you would know that," Edward finally yelled and Bella fell silent. Shaking her head her brown eyes met his green ones.

"I do love you Edward and that's what hurts the most. At least now you can stop all the lying," Bella said, turned on her heel and walked in the direction of her house.


Bella pulled her keys from her soaked jeans and slipped it into the lock. She pushed open the front door and kicked off her wet shoes. She had barely shut the front door when she heard a car pull up. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was. The car door slammed and there was a knock on the door moments later.

"I know your there Bella," Edward's velvet voice filtered through the wooden door.

"Go away," Bella said as she sunk to the floor, too tired and too cold to fight.

"Please let me explain," Edward pleaded. There was silence for several seconds before Bella pulled the door open and stepped aside to let him in.

"One minute," Bella said as she walked into the kitchen leaving a trail of water through the house.

"Lauren and I had Calculus together. When the class finished she cornered me in class saying she didn't understand some of the work. Next thing I know she had me against the wall, her lips attached to mine," Edward said quickly.

"Took you awhile to push her off. Jessica Stanley walked passed and said you looked hot and heavy. You really must have enjoyed it Edward," Bella hissed at him. Edward closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I was in shock I guess," Edward tried to reason.

"Did you kiss her back?" Bella continued to question, not able to look at him.

"What?"

"Did.You.Kiss.Her.Back?" Bella asked as if each word was a sentence. "It's not hard to understand. Either you stood like a statue for five minutes or your lips moved in synch with hers."

Edward said nothing but dropped his head in his hands. Bella laughed loudly.

"You kissed her back," she stated more to herself then to Edward. "Well I hoped you enjoyed it. I'm sure she will be willing to give you more."

Bella left the kitchen and headed towards the stairs. She needed a shower and some dry clothes. Before her feet had even touched the bottom step she was pinned against the wall and Edward's lips crashed against hers. Her hands immediately went to his hair and tangled her fingers through it as Edward's hands landed on her hips and pulled her against him. They broke away quickly and Bella was breathing deepily.

"That's what it was like," Edward whispered in her ear as his lips trailed down her neck. "She pinned me just like this. The shock set in and I was a statue for a few moments and then I kissed her back long enough to distract her so I could push her off."

His lips trailed across her shoulder as he pushed her soaked shirt to the side. Her skin was cold and she shivered. She wondered if it was from the coldness of her clothes or the warm lips running across her shoulder.

"I love you Isabella Swan and I would never, EVER, do anything to ever hurt you," he continued as his lips returned to her neck, then across her jaw and finally too her lips. "I don't know how to prove it to you but I will spend the rest of my life proving that your only girl I ever kiss."

"What about your daughter?" Bella questioned and Edward pulled back to look at her strangely.

"Excuse me?" he asked and Bella giggled.

"You said that I am the only girl you ever wanna kiss and I said what about our daughter," Bella answered and Edward smiled widely.

"I meant like this," he mumbled and crashed his lips to her causing her to gasp. He took the opportunity to slip his tongue in, duelling together for dominance. They broke apart reluctantly and he rested his forehead against hers.

"Am I forgive?" he finally asked after he was able to open his eyes.

"If you continue to kiss me like that I would say your more than forgiven," Bella answered truthfully. Edward's emerald green eyes took on a certain twinkle and before Bella had a chance to breathe properly his lips were on hers once again. Before either could register the direction of their hands, Bella had slipped hers under Edward's sweater and was pulling it off. Bella's soaked shirt followed closely behind.

"Are you sure?" Edward asked as he pulled back from kissing her.

"Charlie won't be home for hours," Bella replied. And headed up the stairs. Edward gazed lovingly at his girlfriend before following her up the stairs. Things were going to be ok.


Ok your all probably thinking that Bella has forgiven Edward way to fast, but in my view Bella always knew in her heart that Edward didn't do it on purpose and her head has a habit of ruling over her heart. I guess in some way Bella will always question whether Edward truly loves her but ultimately she knows the truth.
