Bad to the Bones

Chapter 8

"Just to be clear, this isn't a real date. We are just going out as friends."

"I got it for the tenth time." Jacob was walking next to me. I felt sorry for him. How could I have used him to get back at Edward? He didn't do anything wrong and I treat him like that. On his face there was a big smile. Jacob was funny, sweet and very gentle. Edward wasn't any of those. There he was again, why was Edward always on my mind? The last time I saw him it didn't really end well. Edward was so mad that he fired Jacob, got into a fight with a few guys and ended up in jail. Not that he was the one who was fighting, he couldn't his arm was still Brocken. So let his friends fight for him. All of this made the situation between us even worse because Charlie arrested Edward again and I didn't think he would just let it go. At first I didn't think he would go further with his plan but I was afraid that he wouldn't hesitate any longer.

"Here we are." Jacob said. We were standing in front of a restaurant. 'Bella Italia' was the name of the restaurant. When we walked insight I didn't see much people.

"Can I help you?" A blonde was looking at us with a fake smile. She was definitely one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen.

"We have a reservation on the name Black." She nodded and showed us our table.

"What would you like to drink?" Jacob looked at me.

"A coke please."

"Make that two." She actually wasn't very nice; she didn't say anything and just walked away.

"I need to go to the restroom, I will be right back." He stood up and walked away. We just ate our dessert. I had been real fun, but I defiantly didn't feel anything for him. He had everything that I was looking in a man but he was just too perfect. Jacob was handsome, sweet, funny and most important he was caring. How could it be that I was not attracted to such a perfect guy? Every girl loved a bad boy but they all ended up with a guy like Jacob. I was afraid I would be stuck with Edward forever. Why was I so attracted to him? He wasn't even nice to me.

Suddenly the door of the restaurant opened. I wasn't really interested until someone grabbed my hand. It was Alec, as he always did he threw me over his shoulder and walked to his car. The last thing I saw was Jacob who just came out of the restroom. He looked shocked, he wasn't even able to move his feet. The only thing he could do was standing and looking at me.

"Didn't you hear what I told you?" I was looking at Edward. We were in his office, me sitting in his chair on his desk.

"Sometimes it is good to do things that are bad." He looked at me with surprise.

"You think so?" His hands were on his desk and he was laying into me.

"I am someone who believes that there are only good and bad people. No one is between those two." There was a grin on his face.

"And not to be rude or anything but Bella you are even as bad as I am." I didn't know what to answer. My eyes were looking the room for an answer.

"You made me like this." It was the only thing I could think of. Edward began to laugh.

"You are using the same argument as last time." He got up and walked through the room.

"You can't change someone just when you want to. The other person has to be open for it. The only powerful thing about opines is that the person who opens himself doesn't always know it."

"So what you are saying is that I opened myself for you." He began to laugh.

"No, you were the one who said those words." I didn't understand any of those words anymore.

"I already told you. You are too naïve, didn't I?" I narrowed my eyes and looked away.

"Yes you did." For a few seconds we looked at each other.

"The reason why you are here is that I wanted to ask you a question." He didn't show any emotion.

"Would you like to go on a date with me?" A part in me wanted to say 'yes' but I had to listen to my head not my heart.

"No I do not." A grin appeared on his face.

"I was expecting this answer. But maybe I can change your opinion." He came closer to me with every step he took.

"What are you...?" I couldn't finish my senesces because his lips were on mine. The way he kissed me was sweet and hungry at the same time. When he placed his hand on my but, something in me broke. I pushed him away and hit him in his face. My breath was out of control, because of the madness I felt for him. When he realised what happened his eyes narrowed.

"That wasn't smart of you, Bella. At first I didn't want to hurt you. I actually liked you but my opinion about you changed. You are not that sweet, little girl I thought you were. How could I have been such an idiot? First I am going to ruin your father and you will be next after him." He took hold of my arm and dragged me up the stairs. A door was standing open and he pushed me insight and locked the door. There I was, way to go Bella. Who could I have been so stupid, Alec told me: "Bella, if you just do what Edward says he doesn't harm you. He never planned that." Why didn't I listen? Tears were dropping on my face.

An hour went by; I hadn't heard anything form Edward. But out of nowhere the door swung open and there he was standing in all his glory. For just a second he looked at my face. It was still red form the tears that had fallen. He placed a bag and a cup with soda on the table that was standing in the room.

"Eat it otherwise I threw my money away." He ordered.

"You have enough money." I said it more to myself than to him. He turned and looks at me.

"Making smart comments are definitely not going to help you, Bella."

"What does it matter you are already going to ruin me aren't you?" He didn't answer me instead he just walked out of the room. Again the door was locked; he really was going to keep me as his prisoner.

I woke up the next morning, the door was standing open. My head was beating badly. Slowly I walked out of the room. Edward was sitting on the couch. He noticed me but he said nothing. For a few minutes there was an awkward silence.

"A taxi is waiting for you. I already paid for it, so go home." His voice was hard and cold. In the cap a disgusting old man was sitting behind the wheel. I told him where to go and he drove away.

"Bella!" Charlie yelled.

"Where were you?" I didn't really know if it was a good idea to tell him.

"Shouldn't you be working today?" I tried to change the subject.

"I've got fired." My mouth was hanging open in unbelief. How could he have been fired? Could it be that Edward was part of it?

"Why... What... What happened?" He looked down at the floor.

"That is not important. But now I want to know where you were yesterday." I couldn't think about just one thing to say to Charlie.

"If you don't say why you got fired I won't tell why I wasn't home." He narrowed his eyes. We were looking at each other for a few seconds.

"They found drugs in the house." I was totally shocked. "I was sure that it didn't belong to you. But now I have my doubts especially after you didn't get home yesterday." An angry feeling was flowing through my veins. How could Charlie think of me that way? I was his own daughter and he was a police officer. Without a word I walked away.

The next day I arrived at school. I was still mad at Charlie; he didn't have the right to say such things when he didn't know the truth yet. For the whole day Edward was around me. I tried to ignore him but he showed up everywhere.

"What do you want?" I finally yelled.

"You." It was his only answer. At that moment we were sitting in the Geography classroom. I just wanted to say something back when the principal walked in.

"We have a new teacher because Mr. Banner has a burn-out. And yes Mr. Cullen that is mostly your fault. So behave this semester." On Edward's face a grin appeared. The principal opened the door and a man around the thirty walked in. I saw that Edward's eyes were narrowed. The teacher and Edward looked at each other for a few seconds. They definitely knew each other. His name was James and he just transformed from Seattle. He was telling perfectly about occur of the mountains in America. Edward was sitting next to me but he was only making it hard for James. Although James didn't seem to irritate himself over Edward. And then out of nowhere the door swung open. A police officer was standing in the doorway with next to him Charlie.

"You have been arrested Mr. Cullen." Edward didn't look surprised at all what seemed to irritate Charlie.

"Well, Charlie you can't arrest me. I heard you got fired, drugs right?" The whole class was in that second quiet.

"May I know how you know that Mr. Cullen?" The officer asked him. Edward looked away from Charlie. His eyes were searching the officer's face.

"Bella told me." He nodded in my direction.

"So what is it this time?"

"Kidnapping Miss Isabella Swan." He nodded, he let his hand up for the hand cups, and just before they took him away he kissed me right on the lips.

"Stay away from her." Charlie yelled, Edward ignored him and kissed my cheek.

"Just shut up old man. The only thing you ever did well was getting a daughter. She really is smoking hot." You could hear Charlie and Edward fight from the parking lot.

"You can never prove that I kidnapped Bella." That was the last thing you heard. The whole class was looking at me. My cheeks were red in no time. How did Charlie know that Edward was the one who kept me in his house? It was the only thing that was going through my thoughts.

Don't go with James if he asks you.

Please, trust me this once.

E.

Edward was worried about me, but why? I was in a bit of a shocked about the text message. Why would James want to talk to me?

"Miss Swan, could you stay a minute please?" How did Edward know? He was right I had to trust him this time. What should I do?

"I am sorry sir next lessons. I really have to go." As fast as I could I walked to the door. When I wanted to walk away his hand grabbed my hand. His hand got hold of my wrist very tight.
