Disclaimer: I own nothing... Stephenie does... pooh...
Previously On If No One Will Listen:
"You know Jasper has it ever occurred to you that you should be a psychiatrist?" I asked as I moved away from him and set on the dark blue bed that was actually made up.
He shrugged with a light smile. "I've been told that on occasions…"
Chapter Eight
Sort Of Confessions…
"Have you talked to Chris or Blake lately?" Alice asked as she munched on her salad with Jasper to her side who was currently listening to his I-pod and nodding along to the beat.
Rosalie wrapped a comforting arm around me as I shook my head, "Blake has called a few times but just to say that I needed to call Chris…"
"You should probably call him sweetie," Rose said as she patted my shoulder. I nodded but continued eating my lunch.
I heard the chair next to me squeak but I didn't look up to see who it was that had claimed the chair, I was too afraid it was Victoria or something… but then again she liked attacking when it was just the two of us… no witnesses.
"Hey guys." A smooth velvet voice said and my head instantly shot up as the night I almost threw up on him shot to my mind.
I looked up to Alice as Jasper knocked out his ear buds, "I think I'm going to take ya'll advice, excuse me." I said and then walked away feeling my face turn a rather embarrassing color of red.
Third Person's View:
"Well that was definitely weird…" Alice said as she stared at the spot Bella had just pretty much disappeared from.
Rosalie raised an eyebrow at Jasper who was currently staring down Edward. "What did you do this time?" Rose sighed at her friend.
"I… um… nothing," Edward stammered before spearing some of his lunch with his fork.
Jasper and Alice both rolled their eyes, "If you hurt her you'll be the one hurting in a minute," Alice threatened.
Edward's eyes grew twice as big as he choked on his food, "God no! I didn't hurt her. I didn't do anything bad to her… at least I don't think so… it wasn't bad for me at least…" Edward shook his head in confusion at his own comment.
"What the hell did you do?" Jasper asked as he gripped onto Alice's hand in order to calm himself down. This was Bella Edward was messing with after all.
Edward raised his hands in defense, "I didn't do anything alright, she told me about what happened to her and then well… I told her about how life had been after she left."
"You idiot!" Alice squealed with a roll of her eyes.
"What?" Edward asked.
"How could you have told her how life was after she left? After everything she's been through you're making her go through more by putting blame on her about that! She's probably feeling guilty as hell," ranted Rosalie.
Edward shook his head roughly at the thought of making Bella feel the tiniest bit of guilt. "I didn't… I explained how I've never… you know been able to be with anyone after her… and then we…"
All three eyes were wide and when Edward stopped talking Rose and Alice both hit him, "Continue Edward! You can't just stop there!" Alice yelled, and by now they had caught a few on lookers in the dining hall by all their yelling.
"Well… I kissed her and then she kissed me back… and then she threw up. It's been kind of awkward ever since then," Edward said and he got softer with every sentence.
"You kissed!" both girls squealed at the same time, obviously they missed out on the part where she got sick and then it got awkward…
"She got sick?" Jasper asked in concern.
Edward shrugged and then chewed on his food slowly. "Yeah she pushed me away and then ran away so quickly I actually thought she just disappeared out of thin air. She just asked me to leave after that… We haven't really talked since then, and I mean I really want to. I want to talk to her to be with her to feel her near me… I miss her even though I just saw minutes ago…"
"Uh… Edward?" Jasper asked softly after a moment of silence.
"Yeah?" he replied looking up from his tray.
Rose looked at him seriously and then pulled the twin thing and asked what Jasper was going to, "Are you still in love with her?"
Edward pushed his tray away and looked down at his hands, his appetite gone.
Bella's Point Of View:
I rummaged through my side bag until I found my cell phone and then started to dial Chris' number. "Hey you reached Chris I can't come to the phone right now because I'm too busy trying to convince the girl next to me that I don't know you or that you're my sister, so do me a favor and stop calling me!" I heard the beep and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.
"Chris its Bella… and I'm… actually no I'm not sorry. Everything I did it should have happened a lot earlier and I'm sorry if you don't like that, but I think that after a little while we can get past this and go back to the way we were except the whole Bella has to keep this cloud over her head." The more I talked the angrier I got at myself, which I took out on his voice mail. "And I'm sorry if you're mad that I've finally gotten out of that. I thought that maybe just maybe you would be a little bit happy for me, but if you're not then you know what get over and go screw Jenny again because that's what you're good at." I said and then snapped my phone roughly.
I shook my head and sighed and dialed his phone again and I got the same voice mail. "Sorry I shouldn't have done that…" I said and then hung up again.
"You okay?" I heard a voice from behind me and I smiled as I looked at Emmett.
"Yeah I'm good… What can you do?" I asked with a smile and he nodded. "Rosalie's in there you might want to hurry up before you get into trouble for taking too long."
He let out a big laugh and hurried into the dining hall. I took in a big breath and headed to my English hour as soon as I caught sight of my watch. As Dr. Winton lectured about when our essay was supposed to be due about the novel we had been reading I started to drift off in my own little world as I thought about what had happened that night between Edward and I… or how I wished it had gone…
I was alerted about the end of class by someone hitting my shoulder. "Hey class is over." A guy said, I jumped and looked at the blonde haired surfer. He smiled kindly at me as his blue eyes shined, "The papers due next week, you better not zone out like that when you're writing."
I smiled at him and then gathered my notebook that I hadn't meant to doodle on. "As uh seeing as I helped you out there how about you help me by going out tonight?"
I smiled at him kindly before grabbing my bag, "Thanks but I don't think so…" I said and then started to walk down the steps to go to the door.
He ran after me and grabbed my shoulder, "Wait! Okay so I've been in this class with you for months and I've wanted to have the courage to come and talk to you for a while, please just do this."
I shoved his hand off of my shoulder, "Thanks again but I'm sorry I'm not really interested."
He held his hand out to stop me from leaving, and that was the first time I noticed that we were alone in the classroom. "You don't even know me so you don't know if you're interested or not, god I probably sound really pathetic…"
I smiled at him kindly but I inched towards the door. "I don't think you're pathetic, it's really nice of you but-" I said but I was cut off.
"But she's kind of busy with the guy she's already dating." A voice said from behind me, I turned and almost did a double take at who said it.
