Chapter 4 – I'd Lie
"Miss Swan, will you tidy up please. I know it's the near the end of term but I'd rather have my lab tidy." I reluctantly tore my eyes away from the door and did as the teacher requested.
Edward didn't return to Biology, nor did he meet me afterwards. In fact I didn't see him till I was walking back to his car. He was leaning against his Volvo, rubbing his neck.
"Hey what happened?" The first concern that popped up in my head was why didn't he return from lessons.
"Well, me and Mike kind of got into a fight. I would've won it if he hadn't hit me over the head with a pole. Well I did win, but with injuries." He rubbed his neck again as I felt my mouth fall open.
Edward got hit round the head with a metal pole? Fuck, was he indestructible or something? Then I noticed his lip was bleeding, and I was suddenly very tempted to kiss him.
No bad Bella. Mustn't fancy friend.
"Uh, Edward. Your lip is bleeding." Before he could do anything, I grabbed his chin and then wiped away the blood with my thumb. I then removed my hand and looked into his eyes nervously.
He tilted his head slightly then smiled his beautiful crooked grin.
"Thanks Bella. I guess I didn't notice." I blushed slightly, and decided to change the subject before I said anything I would regret.
"Shall we go? Alice and Rose will probably have a fit if we don't get home soon." Edward, suddenly snapping back into reality, smiled at me, and then opened the passenger door for me.
Typical Edward. He made me blush even more.
I got in the car and he shut the door for me. He quickly went round the other side and got in. He was about to put the key in the ignition, but then stopped and looked at me.
"Have you got you seatbelt on? I don't want you to smash your head on the windscreen if I get a little pissed again." He rubbed the back of his head uncertainly. I simply laughed. I lifted the side of my coat up to show him I was buckled up. Satisfied, he did his own buckle then started the engine.
The ride to Edward's was quite but not awkward. Well okay it was a little but that's only because we had been flirting today. I mean me and Edward, Edward and me, flirting?? It's not possible. I mean we were friends, just friends. But it wasn't just me flirting he was too! We were both flirting at the same time to each other.
What has this world come too?
When we arrived at the Cullen's, Esme was her usual self and hugged me when I got in the living room, and then Carlisle did his 'fatherly duties' for me asking me how I was etc. Carlisle was much more of a dad to me then Charlie, but Charlie is my dad so I still loved him too, even though Edward would rather me abandon him.
"BELLA! UP HERE! NOW!" Ah no! Makeovers!
I turned to Edward and whispered urgently.
"Edward! Hide me!" Edward chuckled but pulled me behind him, just as Alice came running down the stairs.
"Edwardo! Where is Bella dearest?" I didn't hear it, but I felt Edward's chest rumble. Ha, he was growling.
"Don't call me Edwardo Alice. And even if I knew where Bella was I wouldn't tell you because she doesn't want a makeover and you called me EDWARDO!"
Edward really doesn't like being called Edwardo.
"Hmph. Mark my words Edward Cullen. I will find Bella, and when I do, she will have a makeover." And with that, I heard her storm upstairs and shut her bedroom door. I stood on my tiptoes and peeked over Edward's shoulder.
"Is she gone?" I whispered in his ear. He shivered slightly, but turned his head a little towards me.
"Yep. Don't worry; you can hide in my room. Alice seems like she's in a violent mood." I nodded my head then came out from behind him.
"ALICE! FOUND HER!" What?! Oh no! Rose was hiding behind the couch.
Rose lunged at me but I went behind Edward again so she went out the door.
"Where is she? Bella you are so dead!" I heard Alice yell then her running down the stairs.
"Ahh save me Edward!" I stayed behind his back, but he turned round a picked me up.
"We're going this-a-way." He ran towards the kitchen, with me in his arms, and then went out in the garden. Once we were behind the greenhouse, he put me down and put his finger to his lips.
Edward was breathing heavier than usual and his face was a little red. Like from the advert, he was 'windswept and interesting.' I couldn't help but giggle.
"What?" He mouthed. I simply smiled at him then took a peek around the greenhouse. I couldn't see Alice or Rose so I guessed we were safe for now. I went back to Edward, who was sitting down, and sat down next to him.
"I couldn't see them so I guess we're safe. Thanks by the way. I guess I'm not the lightest person in the world." I blushed slightly.
"Bella you are far from heavy. Though you have put on a little weight since you came back." He held his thumb and forefinger in front of him, only a millimetre apart. I laughed at him.
"Yeah sure Edward. Your way too much of a gentleman to tell the truth." I nudged him slightly.
"Oh you think I am a gentleman?" He looked sceptical. Why would that be I wonder?
"Yeah course you are. You open my door loads for me. And you compliment me way too much."
He laughed, but I guessed more to himself then me.
"Bella, if you knew what goes on in my head," He tapped his head with his forefinger. "You wouldn't think I was a gentleman."
I stared at him for a minute, trying not to smile.
"Edward that's just sick." I playfully punched him, which led into a fight. We were laughing and trying to pin each other to the floor. I remembered when we used to this when we were younger. He would always win; he was stronger than me though.
When he had me pinned to the ground, like always, I stopped and laughed.
"Okay, okay! You win you cheater." He merely laughed, but didn't get off me.
"Hey I don't cheat!" He tickled my stomach. "I'm just better than you."
I couldn't help it, I laughed and I couldn't stop. I hated it when people tickled me. I was way too ticklish.
"No—stop! Plea—STOP!" I was crying with laughter now. He was so mean.
He laughed again and finally stopped.
"Now Bella, am I cheater?" He got up off of me and I stood up.
"No Edward you are not a cheater, you're just a sore loser!" I stuck my tongue out legged it towards the house. I knew he was a faster runner than me, but I got a head start.
In the distance I heard him laugh and say,
"You are so getting it Isabella Swan." And then he was running.
I flew through the French doors and through the kitchen.
"Alice! She's here! Wait why the hell are you running Bella?" Rose was looking in the dining room.
"Edward--behind me--got to run!" I said this between breaths and carried on running. I went through the living room, passed Alice, and went up the stairs. When I was at the top, I went straight into Edward's room, closed the door and sat in front of it so my back was pressed up against it. Wow I didn't fall over.
After about a minute I heard an out of breath Edward knock on the door.
"Bella? Are you in there? You can't shut me out my own room." I smiled to myself.
"You wanna bet?" I couldn't help myself. I felt like getting him worked up.
I heard him growl from the other side of the door.
"Bella, I could break the door down you know, even if you were there." I heard the threat, but his voice was full of humour. Before he lost the humour in his voice, I quietly stood up and opened up the door.
"We wouldn't want that now would we."
Now, Edward looked really 'windswept and interesting.' It was quite sexy actually.
I froze.
I just thought he looked sexy.
Oh god.
"Bella are you okay?" Yeah sure I'm fine, I just thought you looked SEXY! AHH!
"Y-yeah. I just had a weird moment." I looked shamefully at my feet.
"Bella you're so cute when you're embarrassed."
Holy shit what did he say?! I looked up at him, surprise written all over my face.
"What? You are though." He gave me his crooked grin then put his hands on my shoulders. He pushed me backwards so that we were both in his room and then he turned round and shut the door.
"Edward, why did you just do that?" I was confused, again.
He turned around and laughed a bit.
"Well, after my little comment you seemed a bit… unresponsive. So I thought it'd be easier if I moved you." I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Hmm, and what a little comment it was." I mumbled. I turned to go sit on his couch, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw him look at me and smile.
"Crap. Um Bella? I got to do something for Jasper, I completely forgot. Is it okay if I leave you in here for a while? I'll make sure no one will get in." He looked at me with pleading eyes. Ok even my head had to admit that was damn cute.
"Nah, it's fine. I might put some music on if that's ok with you?" I went over to see which CD to play. God there's so many. Unexpectedly, I felt Edward's wrap his arms around me.
"Thank you. See you in a bit." Then he let go and went out the room.
Now that hug felt good!
No it didn't! Shut. The. Hell. Up!
I tried to shake the emotions out of me, but all I could think of was his warm arms and his melodic voice.
I really needed to distract myself.
I looked through the CD collection and found one CD that said "Random". I took it out and put it in the CD player. The song surprised me. I never knew he liked this kind of music.
I don't think that passenger
seat
Has ever looked this good to me
Hmm, Taylor Swift. Come to think of it, this song was a lot like my situation now.
He
tells me about his night
And I count the colours in his eyes
He normally tells me what he does and I do sometimes see how many different colours of green there are in his eyes.
He'll
never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his
hair
I'm laughing cause I hope he wrong
Edward never said he'd never fall in love, but he does run his hand through his hair a lot. I love it when he does that. That's what makes his hair so messy most of the time.
I
don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke I fake a
smile
That I know all his favourite songs
Yes I do know most of his favourite songs. It's sad I know but we like the same music.
And,
I could tell you his favourite colours green
He loves to argue,
born on the seventeenth
His
sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you ask me
if I love him,
I'd lie
His favourite colour is brown actually, he does have a thing for arguing, and he's born on the eighteenth, so that's pretty close. Alice is most definitely beautiful and he has his father's eyes. Edward is a lot like Carlisle, especially in the way they act.
And it's probably true that if I were asked if I loved Edward, I would lie.
He
looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't
a light go on?
Doesn't he know I've had him memorized for so
long?
I guess that if we were in a dark room, I would still be able to see what he looks like. I couldn't help it now I started to sing along.
He
sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I
don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine
Edward has never let anybody see him cry. Even I haven't seen him cry. Well except for once when we were little and Alice put make up all over him. Bless him he was horrified.
And, I try not to let it show that I might like Edward, because I don't even know if I actually like him, but I'd rather not let people find out before me.
I could tell you his favourite colours green
He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful; he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him,
I'd Lie
He
stands there then walks away
My god if I could only say
I'm
holding every breathe for you...
He'd
never tell you but he can play guitar
I think he can see through
everything
But my heart
He never tells anyone, but he can play piano, not guitar. He's amazing on the piano. His fingers run so smoothly over the keys, it's impossible not to lose yourself in the music.
I don't know if he can see through my heart, but I doubt it will be hard to tell if I do end up falling in love with him.
First
thought when I wake up is
My god he's beautiful
So I put on
my make up
And pray for a miracle
First thought when I wake up is Edward, Edward, Edward. It puts a smile on my face so I guess it isn't that bad a thing. And I never put on make-up, but I still pray for a miracle. Even though I shouldn't, I kinda hope that he'll tell me he likes me more than a friend one day.
Yes I
could tell you his favourite colours green
He loves to argue oh
and it kills me
His sisters beautiful he has his father's
eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
If
you ask me if I love him
I'd lie
Just as the song finished, and I stopped singing, I heard a faint knock on the door. I wasn't sure if it was Alice or Rose, but I knew that they would've barged in already. I got up off of his bed, which somehow during the song, I ended up lying on; and went to his door.
"Who is it?" I heard someone jump in surprise.
"Bella? It's Esme, could I talk to you for a moment?" I was a little surprised and worried that Esme would want to talk to me.
Nonetheless, I opened the door and let her in. We sat on the sofa and Esme looked like she was finding it hard to say the right thing.
"What's wrong Esme?" I placed my hand reassuringly on her knee and she looked up and smiled. Esme was always so nice to people, that sometimes she couldn't say what was supposed to be said.
"Isabella. Bella. When you came back home 2 months ago, all of us were so happy that you were back. When we heard, Alice cried and even Jasper relaxed! Can you imagine Jasper going from bad tempered and stiff to totally relaxed and carefree? And also, Rose and Emmett stopped arguing and Carlisle was so relieved. Oh Bella dear you don't know how much of an impact you had on this family."
Wait a minute. My 'departure' had Rose and Emmett fighting, Jasper becoming uptight and Carlisle and Alice worrying themselves silly. Woah, information overload.
"Wait. I did all that? Just because I left?" I was so shocked by this.
"Yes, and I was so worried you weren't going to come back. I mean we couldn't contact you because of your father and that ghastly woman he was with, so everyone was worried. But what I'm trying to say is that when you left and Edward found out…" Oh god, I really didn't want to hear this.
When I came back, I refused to find out about what happened to everyone. I don't know why, it just made me upset that because of my father, I had made people upset.
"When Edward found out you had gone and that he wasn't able to call you; I had never seen him so upset and angry all at once. He destroyed half of his room and was always driving around in his car until late. He was devastated. But then the night before you came back, I heard him talking in his sleep."
Flashback in Esme's POV.
I walked down the stairs, too tired to remember why I had decided to go downstairs. I think I needed a drink?
I got downstairs and poured myself a glass of water. Before I had time to stop myself, I realised that I had gotten Bella's cup from the cupboard and filled it with water.
I sighed. My family wasn't a family without her. And poor Edward, he hasn't been himself at all during this past year, especially at Christmas. Oh it still makes me upset thinking about it. No one smiled that day, no one at all. Bella used to always be round every Christmas, helping me in the kitchen, playing games with Emmett, hiding from Edward.
They always used to play chase every Christmas. It was like a tradition.
I quickly pushed those thought out of my head, before I cried, and made my way back upstairs. I was about to turn into my room when I head noises come from Edward's room.
Curiosity got the better of me and I went up another flight of stairs to Edward's room. I pressed my ear to his door so that I could hear better. He sounded like he was asleep but he was talking.
"Bella…Bella come back please. Miss you so much, Bella. Please, I need you Bella. Bella."
I felt a tear roll down my cheek. My poor son, so broken. Please God or whoever is up there, bring our Bella back.
A/N: How was that for sad? Well it wasn't too bad but it's still a little sad. The song on here is called I'd Lie by Taylor Swift if you hadn't guessed already. My cousins friend let me listen to it and I fell in love with it immediately! Anyway, hope you liked this chapter, please review!!
