i'm so sorry it took so long:( but here it is, this chapter is for my best friend ilovejasper and Claudia(happy belated birthday and thanks for the review) and thank you eveybody for your reviews:)

I drove to school in a sullen mood, I think I'm suffering from Edward withdrawals. I pulled into the student parking lot searching for Alice's car, It wasn't hard to spot since it was the only yellow Porsche in the parking lot. Over the past couple of weeks Alice and I had become fast friends along with Rosalie. I had told her all about Edward problem and the fight that had ensued after I had called him out on it. And also how I was undeniable and irrevocably in love with him, a fact which pained me because he would never love me the way I loved him. I parked next to Alice's yellow Porsche and got out dragging my bag behind me.

"Hey Bellie Bear" Alice said as she bounded up to me.

"Hey Alice" I said in a mono-toned voice.

"What's wrong" she asked her voice laced with concern.

"Nothing" I sighed while she gave me that "yeah right" look.

"Fine" I seethed, hating the way she always got her way "it's just Edward and I Haven't spoken since…. Since the ummm" I fumbled over my words not knowing what to call it.

"The incident" Alice offered

"Yeah the incident" I said testing the words.

"Well have you tried talking to him"

"Not exactly, but I don't think he wants to talk to me"

"Well you never know if you don't try" and with that she skipped away to her first period. I guess I could try talking to him, it's not like I have anything to lose. The rest of the day passed uneventful, Emmett laughed when I tripped in the cafeteria causing me to spill the contents of my lunch on Mike Newton. For the most part I sat silent during lunch, and thankfully Alice and Rose were to engrossed in prom details to notice how I was totally spacing. By the end of lunch I had built up the courage to talk to Edward. And when the bell rang I all but ran to the biology room where Edward and I shared a table. I was relived to see that Edward hadn't made it to class yet. I sat at the table thinking about what I was going to say to him. The warning bell rang and everyone began to file into the room, just before the tardy bell rang Edward walked in the room looking better than ever I had to force myself to look down so I wouldn't be caught ogling. He took his seat just as Mr. Banner began his lecture, I could hardly focus on what he was saying and barely noticed when Mr. Banner finished early and let us have free time till the end of class. I mentally prepared myself "Ed.." but I was interrupted by an annoying voice that I had come to dread.

"Hey Bella!" ugh Michael Newton Oh how I loath him! "I just wanted to come and tell you that I forgive you for dumping your food on me."

"Yeah sorry about that" I said unenthusiastically, maybe that would make him go away. No such luck.

"Oh yeah no problem" he said while hopping on to the edge of the desk "like I said all is forgiven. So…do you think you might want to go out to dinner this Friday?" he asked hopefully.

"Mike" I sighed. "I already told you I don't like you like that"

"I know but I thought you were just playing hard to get" I sighed he's never going to get it! But next to me I thought I could hear Edward trying to muffle his laughter with a cough, but he wasn't fooling me.

"Well I'm not and I would appreciate it if you would stop asking me out!" by this time I had gained the attention of the whole class. And everyone stated as Mike walked away looking very dejected. I went back to mentally preparing my self but when the bell rang Edward gathered his things and walked out the door without taking so much as a fleeting glance at me. Now it was my turn to walk away dejected.

EPOV

I should have stayed! I knew Bella wanted to talk to me, but I just walked out the door! Why do I have to be such an ass! Ugh and when Mike asked Bella out for the 100th time this week it took all my self control not to grab him by his shirt collar and tell him to stay away from Bella because she's mine. But the fact is she's not mine, no matter how much I want her to be she's just not. And she would never be mine, she deserved someone better. I thought back to the fight we had, it's been two long hellish weeks since we had last spoken or yelled at each other. I can't count how many times I have waken to the sounds of Bella screaming because of one of her nightmares. It physically pained me not to be able the gather her in my arms and make everything better. I decided to skip the rest of the day, I reached my car and drove home lost in my thoughts. When I got home I stood in the middle of the house thinking of what I was going to do. When it came to me a followed the hallways to the music room where the grand piano that my mother insisted on was. I sat at the piano, my fingers dancing lightly over the keys. It has been awhile since I last played and my fingers ached to touch the creamy ivory keys, to coax a beautiful melody form within the grand piano. I rested my hands gently against the keys taking care not to let a sound escape. I sat there building the anticipation of the first notes that would caress the silence that filled the room. I lifted my hands readying them to play those first notes but before I could I heard the dead bolt on the front door click and the knob begin to turn. Bella wasn't suppose to be home this early.

"Yeah Alice I know what you said and I tried" Bella's voice carried through the silent house. Was Alice with her? No I only heard one set of foot steps, she must be on the phone.

"Yeah, hold on Alice let me put you on speaker" there was a pause and then Bella's voice once again pierced the silence.

"Okay Alice your on speaker"

"Right, well like I was saying you need to tell him how you feel" Alice told her. I wonder who they were talking about?

"Oh Yeah that wound go over really well. I can picture it, walking right up to him and saying "hey Edward how are you Oh and by the way I love you and really want to help you with your eating disorder" I don't think that's going to work Alice" Arg she told Alice about my eating disorder, well I guess I can't blame her for needing someone to talk to because I sure as hell haven't been there for her to talk to. Wait… did she say she loved me!? I could feel my chest tighten and my heart beat start pounding erratically. She loved me! Me of all people. I wanted so badly to run out there and gather her in a loving embrace and kiss her senseless while telling her how much I loved her. But I didn't want her to think I had been eavesdropping even thought technically I was. Just then the phone started to ring and she began to say goodbye to Alice, but I couldn't wait another second before I told her I love her! So just as she was walking towards the phone in the kitchen I ran up to her grabbing her wrist and spinning her till she was facing me she screamed a little.

"Edward what are you doing here…!" but before she could say anything more I closed the gap between us as I molded my lips to hers. At first she didn't respond but slowly she wrapped her slender arms around my neck and started kissing me back. When we finally had to pull away for air I rested my forehead against hers. We were both breathing hard but I had to tell her.

"I love you" and those were the most sincerest words I had ever spoken to anyone. She looked up at me with a shocked expression on her face but I simply smiled down at her channeling all my love and sincerity into my smile. And then the corner of her mouth slowly began so move north until I had a full blown smile.

"I love you too" and then she leaned in and kissed me. While we were kissing the answering machine came on

"Bella, Bella how foolish you were to think you could escape me. I just wanted to let you know I'm coming for you" Bella froze against my lips and I pulled away searching for answers and finding her face streaked with tears. My instincts kicked in and I pulled my to my chest hugging her tightly. After a few minuets past she pulled away and looked up at me.

"I'm ready to talk" she said but I knew exactly what she meant. And I was ready to talk too.

"me too"
