Chapter 3

Something always brings me back to you, it never takes to long


It had been a few days since the incident and Bella had planned on ignoring Edward, but he did that perfectly for her already. She wanted to talk to him apologize for whatever made him so angry, but every time she was near him or saw him he was manage to get away from her as quickly as possible. Plus the fact that he and Jasper hated one another didn't help. If anyone saw her with Edward it was sure to get back to Jasper and he would be pissed at her if she talked with him.

She didn't want to be a bad girlfriend now did she? Oh wait, she already is.

Bella had been having such horrible and guilty thoughts, but she deserved them for what she had done. She now stood in the lunch line at school waiting to get to the front. Bella scanned the room looking for him, but he wasn't here. All of a sudden Jasper popped up beside her with a bright smiled and kissed and hugged her.

"Who you looking for?" He smiled.

"Um.."

"It was me wasn't it?" He winked

"Yeah." She said quickly, put on a fake smile and kissed him swiftly on the cheek. "I missed you over the weekend."

"Oh.." Jasper looked at her, "I need to te-

"Next!" The lunch lady said and Bella figured Jasper would just tell her after she ordered.

"Can I have a large fry?" Bella smiled digging in her pocket for money.

"Large fry? Really Bella? Aren't you worried about getting kicked off the cheer leading team? You are already getting a bit chubby." He laughed poking her arm.

She didn't know what to say. Did he actually just say that or was it just her imagination? Bella looked to the lunch lady who was looking at him in what seemed like shock. She was humiliated by her own boyfriend! Why would he say such a thing to her? Tears stung the back of her eyes but she held them back not wanting to make more of a scene.

"Actually, can I have a garden salad?" Bella barely managed to say.

She paid for her lunch and ignored Jasper's rambling about the football team and the next game. She didn't care. Grabbing her salad she left the cafeteria, Jasper may have called out after her but he thought she either didn't hear it or maybe ignored him. Jasper went with she didn't hear him, she had been distracted lately.

Bella walked down the basically empty halls. Besides a person or two, everyone ate in the caf or was out enjoying the last as the warm weather before the fall came. She wanted to be alone. Determined not to let the tears fall she walked aimlessly until she came to an end of a hallway she didn't recognize, it was closed of with yellow caution tape. She looked behind her. No one. She quietly slipped under the tape and wondered down the dusty hall.

She then realized this was the hall they were renovating. It was the music and tech hall. That's why she didn't recognize it because she had never taken any classes that were down this hall. Her parents had forced her to take classes like Biology, Chemistry, Leadership Course, Fitness course etc. It was all extremely boring and tiring. She wanted to have a fun class like Music or Photography. Bella quickly stumbled down the hall and entered a random room that was unlocked and she closed the door and looked around.

The room was big and very dusty at the moment. Most of the walls were stripped and plastic hung down from them, they were replacing dry wall, which made sense since this school was almost a hundred years old. Random tables with plaster and measurements were scattered around the room, she tripped a few times but moved further into the room. A few tuba's and trumpet's sat in the corner which meant this was obviously the music room and she smiled finding a spot to sit down to eat.

It was very silent for awhile and she leaned her head against a guitar amp all of a sudden a sweet melodic harmony filled the room and she bolted right up forgetting her salad. Bella walked towards the noise and pushed her way through the plastic which lead to an even smaller room that was empty except for a piano and.. Edward? Edward played the piano?

Her mouth opened slightly as she watched him play. It was light at first but then got really sad and sinister. Edward stopped playing after a few minutes much to Bella's disappointment and he let out a heavy sigh his shoulder hunched. He couldn't focus on anything, not even piano. He rubbed his temples letting his forehead fall to the keys with a clunk and groaned miserably. Bella wanted nothing more than to comfort him but she was mad at him right now.. wasn't she?

So confused with her emotions and not wanting to get caught spying, she backed up and went back towards the door and of course with her terribly bad luck she tripped over a piece of dry wall and gasped as she heard movement from the other room. She quickly opened the door and ran out down the hall and around the corner before Edward could see her. She didn't want him to be more angry with her then he already was for no reason.

After avoiding Jasper all day and walking home from school Bella sighed heavily and dropped down onto her bed.

Alice was in her room giggling about something with a friend while Emmett was watching a football game on the flat screen with Mike in the living room. Why couldn't she just get some peace and quiet? She groaned and hid her head under her pillow, dozing off slightly after awhile. Suddenly she sat bolt straight up as a hand rested on her knee.

A scream was about to leave her mouth but a long hand covered it before she could make a noise. Her eyes wide and she looked and saw who was sitting on her bed beside her. Green eyes. Bronze hair. She sighed and pushed her hand away from her hand threw a pillow at him as he grinned.

"Why are you here? Better yet how did you get in here?" Bella glared at him laying back down on her bed.

"I climbed through your window." He smiled down at her crookedly.

"That doesn't explain why you're here.." She rolled her eyes.

"To see you.."

"Why I thought-"

Bella didn't get to finish her sentence as Edward crashed his lips to hers and she stilled at first but responded immediately afterwards. Her lips attacked his and he climbed on top of her so he was in between her legs. They pulled apart for air and his lips assaulted her neck and she whimpered running her hands through his hair and he groaned moving his lips back to hers. His hands cupped her breasts swiftly through her shirt and then down to her hips bringing them up to meet his. She moaned when his erection hit just where it needed to go.

She then realized what she was doing again and her hands went to his chest and shoved him slightly. He pulled away and looked down at her confused by it. He leaned in to kiss her again but Bella shoved him harder and he rolled off to lay beside her. He was still panting and you could clearly see the boner in his pants and Bella wanted him so badly, but what she was doing was wrong. She had a boyfriend. Jasper! She ran her hands through her hair frustrated by the whole situation.

"We can't do this.." She sat up against her headboard.

"I want you, Bella." Edward sat up beside her.

"You can't have me.." She sighed. "How come you don't get that?"

"Your having my baby. We obviously had to have had sex for that to happen, which would involve some sort of.. I don't know, feelings?" He was starting to get frustrated.

"I feel for you as a friend and I was drunk off cheap wine coolers courtesy of you." She huffed annoyed.

"Sorry I didn't get any hundred dollar champagne your highness."

"You know what, I don't know why you're here and frankly I don't care. Get out." She stood up from her bed and Edward did the same.

All of a sudden Bella's bedroom door opened and there stood her mom. She looked at Edward and smiled brightly.

"Oh Bella, I didn't know you had a friend over. I was just coming to tell you dinner is ready.. Your friend can join us too." She smiled brightly. But it was fake in Edwards mind.

"No thank you, I was just leaving." He murmured as politely as he could before going around her and down the stairs.

He passed by Bella's father and they gave each other curt nods and Emmett and Alice noticed him walk by the kitchen before he exited the house. Renee and Bella soon came downstairs and they all ate in silence for the most part. Alice usually provided them with lots of conversation but she was quiet tonight for some strange reason and she left straight after supper to a friends house apparently. Bella and Alice had been drifting apart lately and she didn't know why..

Charlie and Renee went to the den while Emmett and Bella did the dishes. Even Emmett was unusually silent Bella noticed, she tried making conversation but he was short with her. Just completely shutting her down and not even trying. She was confused. Had she done something wrong..?

Afterwards she went to sit with her parents in the living room while Emmett excused himself to call Rosalie. It was silent for awhile and her parents made idle conversation. Renee was on her laptop doing God knows what and Charlie was going through some papers while watching a football game. Then she heard her father grunt. The kind of one that means he does not approve. See looked to him and saw her mother shaking her head while her Dad looked at her over the tip of his glasses.

"Next time a friend comes over I would like you to ask for permission, Bella." He said in a neutral voice returning to sorting papers.

"Sorry. He just showed up unexpected.." Unexpected. What a word to define her life right now.

"It was a boy?" His eyes went wider and he looked at Renee pointedly. "You better ask for permission next time missy." His voice teetering anger.

"Well you guys weren't home yet.. It's not that big of a deal."

"Rules are rules Bella." Renee spoke up, eyes not leaving her laptop.

"This is ridiculous. I'm not a child anymore, I am seventeen years old." Bella started getting angry now.

"Don't talk back to your mother." Charlie took off his glasses.

Bella frowned how her mother never even stuck up for her when her own father picked on her all the time. She stood up and marched upstairs making a point to slam her door. She never had a good relationship with her dad. Dad sounded nice and comforting to her ears. That was the last thing she thought of when she thought of Charlie. He was her father for all intents and purposes, if even that. She was naturally close to her mother because of her giving birth to her and all.. but it just wasn't the relationship she wanted.

Her mother went with whatever her father said. What Charlie says goes. He was the boss and he made that clear, which angered Bella. It wasn't the turn of the century anymore and women deserve to be treated with respect and have every right to be in charge and give orders. Renee was never that woman.

Before she fell asleep that night Bella promised herself she would never let herself get trapped in a relationship like that.


Bella hadn't see Jasper all morning. It was almost like he was hiding from her. He had asked her to have lunch with him, but she wasn't feeling entirely hungry. The morning sickness made her feel all kinds of nasty. She sat in the cafeteria beside Jessica and Lauren as the rambled on about something oh so secretly as Bella looked around the the room. No Jasper in sight. Maybe he meant to tell her to meet him by his bike.

She quickly exited the building and found Jasper beside Emmett leaning on his Jeep. As soon as her dear brother saw her he left with his hands in his pockets his pace faster than usual. She tried to get his attention to ask him what was up but he stared at the ground and totally ignored her. Why was everyone against her recently? Karma was the only word that came to mind.

She shrugged and quickly walked towards Jasper who was silent and didn't even greet her. Not even the slightly head nod.

"Hey.. What's up with everyone lately?" She joked.

"I don't know why don't you tell me what's up, Bella?" Jasper said rather rudely.

"What are you talking about..?" Seriously, what is every-ones problem?

"Why was that douche bag Cullen at your house last night, huh?" Jasper growled his name and pushed off the Jeep.

"Edward?" How did he know about that? "He.. He was just borrowing some study notes off of me, that's all." Bella said irritated.

"He has no business talking to you. Stay the fuck away from him!" Jasper sneered walking away.

"Excuse me, but I am allowed to have friends! You can't control me!" Bella called after him, he turned to look at her.

"Except him. Anyone but him Bella. I swear to God if.." Jasper's face was turning red as Bella took a few steps towards him.

"Huh? What? If what, Jasper?" She put her hands on his chest and shoved him.

"If he ever touches you, I will fucking kill him."

"Don't touch him." Bella glared.

"Now you're defending him? I swear if I didn't know any better I would think you liked that kid a bit to much."

"He's my friend. That is all." She couldn't believe how angry he made her.

"That's all? I've seen the way her looks at you Bella. I'm not stupid, he obviously has a thing for you. He must be pretty stupid if he doesn't see that you are with me.." Jasper wrapped his arms around Bella bringing her to him. Her anger dissipating the slightest. "He's trash Bella. You shouldn't be friends with poor worthless people."

"You're an asshole." Bella pulled away and shoved him backwards. "You know what?" She took off her promise ring and whipped it at him. "Fuck you!"

And with that she left with tears in her eyes.

Jasper didn't call after her or anything. She was pretty sure they caused a big scene in the parking lot but she walked back into school and pretending nothing had ever happened, and she went to all her classes like a good girl. After school was over she was certainly not getting a ride with Jasper nor Emmett. Alice was no where to be seen, but Edward was standing beside his car and Paul was looking in her direction and smiling as she walked towards them.

Bella tapped Edwards arm once she reached them and Paul chuckled and walked away and Edward quickly removed his hod smiling at her.

"Want a ride?" He gave her his best crooked smile.

"Sure." She smiled back.

Things were sometimes shitty, but they always ended up getting better. Hopefully.
