Quite Girl Chapter 6

Happy Wednesday :) I'll be posting chapter 7 on Sunday :)

I don't own Twilight.

Bella POV

Over this past month I've seen Edward with a different girl each week. Even since the party at La Push he's been acting different. I don't know what is going on, but I don't ask. We still talk every day, we text, he walks me to my classes sometimes and we hang out on the weekend... Maybe he spends too much time with me and less with his girlfriends? When Edward first started putting his arm around me, holding my hand and things like that; I thought it was odd. Then I got used to it, and now I don't want him touching me like this anymore. He's been around with so many girls and then while dating them all, he's always touching me. It doesn't seem like he's taking any of the relationships serious and on top of that I keep getting death glares. If I weren't friends with Rose I'd probably be scared of them, but with Rose on my side no will mess with me because then they will have to answer Rosalie and no one wants to be on Rosalie Hale's bad side.

It makes me a bit sad seeing Edward with all those girls, and hearing how amazing he is during gym class from some girl. I try not to think about it; Edward just wants to be my friend and that's it. If Edward is fine with it then so am I... I think. Besides, I'm not his type anyway, he always with pretty girls who are popular and outgoing; I'm just plain, shy, boring me. I sighed and went back to my homework.

Edward POV

"Dude if you like her so much why don't you tell her? Or better yet stop hanging out with all those girls," said Emmet, we were all at his house for game night.

"Ya why do you hang out with all those girls?" asked Jasper.

"Because... Why would Bella go for some guy like me? She's beautiful, smart, and kind... She would never date a guy like me. I'm just trying to distract myself I guess..." I said.

"You are so whipped, you follow her around like a puppy; you're worse than Mike," said Emmet.

"You need to stop this," said Jasper, pausing our game.

"Hey!" wined Emmet.

"Edward just tell her, I know she likes you and all you're doing is hurting her by going out with all those girls," said Jasper, ignoring Emmet.

"You really think so?" I asked.

"Yes, now no more distractions let's get back to the game!" Said Emmet.

"Okay..." After two hours we decided to call it a night and Jasper and I left.

"You're going to tell her right?" asked Jasper as he headed to his car.

"Ya... Tomorrow I'll tell her," I said unlocking my car.

"You better," and he left; I hopped in my car and went home. That night I kept thinking of different scenarios and what to say to Bella. I'm so nervous... Maybe I shouldn't take Jasper's advice, what if I blew it with her?! I didn't get much sleep last night, and I was frantic this morning; what should I wear? Do I smell okay? I took a deep breath to try and clam myself down.

"Edward, are you okay?" asked Alice on the way to school.

"Ya, why wouldn't I be?" I asked trying to keep my cool.

"No reason," she replied a bit suspiciously. When we got to school Alice went straight towards Jasper, I got out of my car, sat on the hood and waited for Bella.

Never in my life have I been so nervous than today. I've been waiting at my car for the past ten minutes waiting for Bella to arrive. Today I'm going to tell Isabella Swan how I feel about her. We've been friends for some time now but from day one, I never had any interest in being her friend, I wanted to be more than that. I finally saw her old truck drive in and watched her park; I took a deep breath and walked over to her.

"Hey Edward," said Bella.

"Hey Bella..."

"...is there something bothering you?" She asked a bit concerned.

"Sort of... There's just something that I've been wanting to say..."

"What is it?"

"Bella I like you, a lot."

Bella POV

I froze, "Edward...h-how can you say that to me after all those girls you've hanged around with this past month! I'm not going to be some girl that you date for a week and then dump!"

"Bella let me explain -"

"Edward please...You can't go around telling people you like them after you've been around with a bunch of girls! What did you expect?! That I would just fall in to your arms and tell you that I like you too?!" Edwards face looked pained, I instantly felt bad but I just couldn't give like this. "I'm not going to fall for that like Jessica and the other girls did!"

"Bella-"

"I'm sorry Edward," I turned around and ran off wiping the tears from my face. I found myself in the bathroom silently crying; five minutes later Alice and Rose came in looking for me.

"Bella?" asked Rose gently.

"Yes?" I replied my voice sounded raspy.

"Are you okay?"

I sniffled, "no."

"Awe, Bella can you let us in?" asked Alice. I got up and unlocked the stall, and they immediately pulled me in to a hug. After about half an hour, I had finally calmed down enough and I went to class. When I walked in everyone stared at me and whispered amongst themselves; obviously the little talk Edward and I had this morning had spread. At lunch I hid in the library with Alice; from what Alice had told me Edward had gone crazy and wants to talk to me, but Rose, Emmet and Jasper (with the girls forcing them to do so) have been keeping him away from me and haven't told him were I am. But I know I'll have to face him eventually; like in biology.

When the bell rang I slowly gathered my belongings and headed to class with Alice.

"Good luck, just try your best to ignore him," said Alice.

"I'll try," I replied. She gave me a small smile and then headed off to her own class. I took a deep breath and walked in. Edward was already there waiting me; he looked as if he was about to jump at any second and run over to me. I quickly averted my eyes from him and sat down.

"Bella, please let me explain," begged Edward.

"What's there to explain? And besides I don't have anything to say to you at the moment," I replied.

"Bella-"

"Good afternoon class," said the teacher; perfect timing I thought to myself. Edward tried to get my attention all class but I ignored him. When the bell rang I quickly got up to leave but I felt someone grab my arm.

"Bella-" started Edward.

"Let go of me Edward," I said not wanting to hear it.

"Bella please-"

"Is there a problem here?" asked the teacher.

Edward dropped his hand, "no sir." And I quickly walked out of the class towards the gym. During class I could still hear people whispering about me and Edward, and Tanya wouldn't stop glaring at me. When the bell rang I almost ran to my truck and went home. When I got home, I texted Alice and Rose telling them that I was okay; I also have a ton of messages and missed calls from Edward, which I ignored. I went to my bedroom and laid down to gather my thoughts.

I like Edward, I really do, but I don't know if he really likes me like I like him. I'd rather have Edward as my friend than him breaking my heart after a week... But it seems like he's broken my heart already.

I hope you guys liked this chapter & don't to leave a review:)
