As I brushed Jason off I could see a shadow of sadness in his eyes and I had to push the guilt into the back of my mind by focusing on my fury towards Edward, and him.
"I hate men." I grumbled to Melissa who was sitting beside me in chemistry.
"I think you only hate two specific men and only because you hate that you love them."
I looked up and glared. "I hate you too."
Melissa laughed at this and handed me the next chemical to be added to our contraption.
"Who have you talked to so far?" She asked.
"Only Jason, he was worried and I wouldn't tell him anything. I'll see him in our next periods though, Edward too probably he is very good at manipulating teachers to change his time table."
"With looks like that he could get any woman to do anything."
"He can also make anyone fall in love with them so he could rip their hearts out" I muttered bitterly.
"Bella you really need to get a hold of yourself bitterness is an ugly colour on you."
I scowled.
"See, you have had a night to wallow, now you need to deal with it or get over it."
"Fine I'll try. What do you suggest? Oh great one."
"What good came out of Edward leaving you?"
I glared at her but tried to think. "I came and met you, I saw my mom, I met Jason I guess."
"See, don't you feel better already?"
"A bit." I grumbled. I couldn't help but be grateful for meeting Mel and seeing Renee and Phil.
"And Jason really didn't know how strongly you felt about Edward. Maybe you should talk with him and tell you how you feel, I mean you are dating a stable relationship means you need to be able to talk."
"I guess."
Melissa smiled at me and I was able to smile a small smile back. It made her beam.
When the bell rang I ran to study hall and sat down beside Jason who was already there.
"Hi" I whispered tentatively. "Um, can we talk?"
"Sure." Said Jason.
"Look, I'm sorry about yesterday I did spaz out a bit."
"A bit?" Laughed Jason. Releasing me from my worry of him hating me.
"Well, I'm sorry and I hope everything is okay." I laughed.
"It is," He stated pulling me into a hug. "And I understand the whole Edward thing a little. I'll try to be sensitive about it and you and him."
"You sound very mature." I stated.
He grinned widely "That's the point."
I rolled my eyes. We entwined our fingers together at our sides and I rested my head on his chest and it felt right. Not like the fire Edward created but it felt nice and I smiled. Jason's head rested on mine and I heard him whisper.
"I love you Bells." My heart fluttered and I pulled my head back to smile at him.
"I think I love you too." He pulled me into a hug and his warmth made me shiver in happiness.
"Hey." Mel said tapping us on the shoulder. "You're getting pretty nasty looks from a few people.
"Huh." I pulled away and looked around and had to laugh. The look on Edward face was priceless and it matched the teacher's perfectly. They glared at us as if declaring bloody murder. Jason squeezed my hand and I squeezed back.
"Hey, Edward," called Jason. "Why don't you take a seat over here." Stares from the class burned into my scalp.
"Sure." Said Edward a crooked grin forming on his face. My heart melted slightly and I started to blush. He came and sat behind us beside Melissa who blushed causing a beautiful colour come to her face. "So Jason what's the news with you?"
"I'm Bella's boyfriend." He smiled offering his hand for Edward to shake. Edward hesitated but decided to be polite and shake it.
"This is Melissa." I said introducing her to him. She smiled widely and shook his hand. "So Florida? I didn't think it would be very good for your family." I said smirking slightly.
"Well, you always knew I loved the sunshine, plus with all of these overhangs and valet parking who needs cloudy skies?"
I rolled my eyes, "Sure."
"So, what brings you to Florida?" Asked Melissa.
"Bella actually, we have unfinished business to deal with."
I laughed. "That's where you're wrong again Edward, any business we have with each other was finished September Fifteenth. Remember that day? Two days after my birthday party."
A hurt expression came across his features and I was oddly satisfied, "Yes actually the worst day of my life." He said looking down guiltily."
"What you crash your Volvo?" I asked, "What a shame it was a nice car."
He glared at me. "You know very well why Bella."
"No Edward," I said. "I don't, see from that day I was moping, no friends nothing, as you know Charlie sent me here and that's when it gets good, I moved in with Jason. I'm happy; you promised it would be like we never met and it is, so don't come here and expect me to fall in love with you again.
"I don't trust you. I probably never will again but we do need to talk so you can come over to our house after school for a few minutes and we'll chat about the things I believe we need to chat about. Bring everyone else and we can…have tea." I finished talking and looked at Edward expectantly.
"Sounds good. Esme's missed you, Alice as well it's been so long she'd love to see you."
"It hasn't been that long." I stated. "I talked to Alice last Friday night. She told me about the mating habits of Lions, did you know deer fight for their mates too. It sounds very immature I mean who would want a man who murdered her other boyfriend." I laughed slightly "then again animals are much less civil then other creatures."
Jason burst out laughing. "You guys are obviously doomed from having any type of relationship at all I mean seriously." I shrugged slightly.
"It's study hall now so let's study." I said turning from Edward's look of disbelief and turned to my homework that was due next week.
Coming out of study hall Melissa caught up to me. "What was that about?"
"That was me trying to make Edward leave me alone. I can't handle seeing him everyday. A love triangle would be a very horrible thing."
"Ooh, so you still like Edward?"
"No, I still love Edward but he blew his chance. Jason hasn't yet."
"Yet?"
I looked her and shook my head. "Yet."
"That sounds promising." She said sarcastically. "
"Yup."
"Whatever Bella you just need too get over Edward then the world will be sunny again.
"Yup." I replied.
School ended quicker then I had hoped and I met Jason at his car. "Ready to meet doom?" I asked.
"Nah, Edward is no match for me." He said. I glared at him. "I didn't mean we'd fight." He said defensively.
The Cullens were already there when we pulled up. The whole bunch, Emmett looked ready to burst in happiness along with Esme. Jasper was standing calmly beside Alice who looked uncomfortable. Carlisle was calm but Rosalie looked royally pissed off.
I pulled Jason along behind me up the steps without saying a word knowing they would follow.
"The living room is in this direction." I said heading toward the comfy couches.
"Hello Bella." Esme said cautiously.
"Hi," I smiled at her but wouldn't go as far as hugging. She had left me too, they all had. "Edward is the only person I need to talk to but I think you all should hear this."
"Sounds good." Said Carlisle sitting down on the couch across from Jason and me.
I thought about what I wanted to say quickly in my head before speaking. "When you left Forks, I was miserable. Not eating or sleeping. I wouldn't do anything that reminded me of you. I felt you had betrayed me but I could I didn't blame you for not wanting me yet I did blame you for pretending you did." Edward was about to say something but I pushed on. "Carlisle couldn't sand my moping so he sent me here to Florida where I could be with Renee for a change of scenery. I was happy, I met Jason and made friends, I felt whole again." I stopped letting my words sink in but kept going before Edward said anything.
"Then Alice came." I said, "To tell me I was breaking my promise to Edward and dating a vampire was stupid. She said Edward still loved me and that he'd fight for me. Now that just infuriated me. Would you like to know why?" I stopped talking and waited for someone to speak.
"Why?" asked Alice in a tiny voice.
"Because Edward has no right!" I yelled. "He left me, he lied to me, he broke my heart and then he stomped on it. You all did! And then I was happy, but you decided to came back telling me you'd kill my boyfriend! Have you gone mental?" I stopped breathing heavily from my yelling and waited for someone to speak.
"That is understandable." Replied Carlisle.
"Of course it's understandable!" I yelled tears of anger escaping my eyes. I started to sob. Jason rubbed my back gently, when I looked up Edward was staring at his hand furiously. "Stop looking at him like that." I sobbed. "You blew it Edward. You said you wanted me to move on. You can't do this."
"I'm sorry Bella." He said pain clear on his face, I was too angry to care.
"You're sorry?" I shrieked. "That's all you can say?"
"If you let me talk, I'll explain myself." He was pleading for a chance and it ached to make him go but I needed time.
"Do I look like I'm in the mood for talking?" I asked exhausted from crying. "Please go, take your family if you want to I don't care. I'll see you tomorrow."
Edward left clearly upset with Rosalie right behind him. Emmett followed suit with a pained look in my direction. Carlisle, Esme, Alice and Jasper stayed.
"I'm sorry Bella, for the pain we have caused you." Said Carlisle looking abnormal with his pained look.
Esme looked like she could cry. "I'm so sorry Bella. I didn't know how much pain this all caused you and I'm glad you let us know your feelings. This probably doesn't make you feel any better but I love you." She rested a hand on my shoulder in a loving way and left to avoid sobbing in front of me. Carlisle followed to comfort he but Jasper and Alice stayed behind.
"Jasper you can go I'll see you soon." He smiled sadly at me and walked out the front door. Alice pulled me into a hug and I gladly rested my head in the smooth crevice between her freezing neck and shoulders. "I
I'm sorry Bella but I've missed you so much and I couldn't handle seeing Edward the way he is without you or else I would have stopped him from coming back. I'm so sorry." She stroked my hair as I sobbed uncontrollably into her shoulder. "I'm so sorry."
I pulled away and looked up into her eyes. "I can't hate you Alice." I said. "I could never hate my sister." She started crying tearlessly at this and we both fell onto the couch and embraced each other as we sobbed, hers in happiness and guilt. Mine in confusion, sadness and joy at being with the Cullens even if they caused me unbearable pain.
