"Leave me alone, Jacob."- I said harshly.-"You should be happy, now there's no competition for you…why aren't you happy, uh? Wasn't this what you wanted?"- I got up and left, went to the bathroom to wait for my next class, English class.

I wasn't ready to see Edward again, but I couldn't miss class, I'm sure my mom would be extremely mad if I did. I had never seen her act like that before, but I couldn't blame her, I also never acted like this before.

A part of me was desperate to see him. Almost five days had gone by without seeing or hearing his voice. Why hadn't he called? I've waited and waited and nothing…I didn't had the courage to call him either, I was too afraid. I panicked just thinking he might not want me anymore, I was so afraid of losing him, that I had pushed him away myself.

I heard the bell, washed my face and walked to the class room; I waited until almost everyone was inside and then got in and took my seat, but I didn't look up.

"Hey, Bella nice to see you."- Mike said, but I didn't answer him.

"Good morning, everyone."- The sound of his voice was like a knife piercing my heart, I missed him so much, but he sounded different, I couldn't resist and looked up. He also looked different, tired with dark circles around his eyes, he hadn't shaved; even his clothes were not as perfect as he usually wore them. Our eyes met and what I saw, was not what I expected. I was expecting repulse and rejection, but all I saw was love, need and sadness. I didn't understand. If he still loved me why hadn't he called?-"Bella, it is nice to see you again."- He said, with his voice filled with emotion.

I tried not to look at him, but then he read the poem they were studying, it was by Lord Byron and I just could take my eyes off him.

The dew of the morning
Sank chill on my brow
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:
Long, long shall I rue thee
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.

I also couldn't stop the tears from falling, I hung on every word he read, I missed his voice, just hearing him like this made me feel better, I closed my eyes and let my mind wondered to the memory of our time together. How could all of that end, like this? We didn't even talk about it. I had been so childish and stupid. Why didn't I call him? Why didn't I fight for him?

EPOV

This week had been hell…Bella hadn't been in school or work all week, I didn't understand. The only reason my mind could come up with, was that she didn't want to face me; she didn't want to look at my face and tell me she had moved on. She probably felt guilty or something.

It was better this way, not seeing her; I didn't know how I would react when I saw her. I was dying inside…who I was fooling, I was dying to see her. I missed her too much; I wanted to see her even if it was in Jacob's arms. Being without her was driving me insane. I couldn't eat, or sleep.

My family kept asking me what had happened, but I didn't have the strength to tell them, not that I was a coward, but I didn't want them to suffer with me, I didn't want them to think bad about Bella.

I drove by her house every night, I even thought about going inside, but what if he was there, in her bed, holding her. Could I have survived that?

I don't how but I had managed to get up and come to work, just hoping to see her, even if I saw her from a distance it would suffice, I just need her…

And now there she was, but she looked so fragile, she looked like she was in pain, our eyes met and the sadness I saw in them, was incomprehensible. Shouldn't she be happier? She had chosen the easier way, she should feel better. Was I missing something? Looking at her right now sitting next to him, I realized how much of a coward really was. I just let her go…I didn't fight for her. The image of that kiss, made my mind go into overload again, I was going insane.

I used the strength I had left and looked away. The class continued with the analysis of a poem form Lord Byron, I saw when Jacob put the sheet between the two of them and got close to her. I wanted to go there and smash his head on the that table; I wondered what she would think of me if I did that.

I read the rest of the poem and avoided looking in her direction, there was a time when I thought she was crying, but why would she do that? She made her choice…and I didn't bother her and didn't go after her and begged her to come back to me, all thought I really wanted to.

The class seemed to take forever to end, I didn't speak much, and she didn't speak at all. I wondered if she felt guilty, was she being consumed by guilt. Was that why she looked like that? It broke my heart to seeing her like this, I had to somehow make her feel better, I didn't want her to suffer. She was all that matter, my feelings were not important; I needed to make her feel better.

The bell rang and everyone got up, I couldn't let her leave with talking to her. I had to keep her here with me, just a little bit more…

"Bella, could I please have a word with you?"- She nodded and stayed seated, waiting for everyone to leave, and then she finally looked at me, our eyes met again and I felt it, that drawn, that electric current flowing between us. God! I missed that.

Instinctively my feet moved closer to her, she got up and took a step on my direction. I felt an urge to hold her, and kiss her…I tried to fight it, but my feet kept moving, I stopped about two feet away, I could almost smell her intoxicating scent.-"Bella…I…just wanted you to know that…I understand, you don't have to feel guilty…I can see why you chose Jacob, he is the easier choice…I'm sure it will be the best for you…"- My voice fainting away by the end.

"What?"- She looked confused.-"What are you talking about?"-She closed her eyes, trying to gather her thoughts, tears streaming down her cheeks.-"I do feel guilty…I should have never taken you to your room, it was so selfish of me…I'm so sorry…I really deserved your rejection, I understand why you didn't want me..."- I was completely lost. What was she talking about?

"Bella, I don't understand? I didn't rejected you…I loved every second of what happened in my room, it definitely wasn't the right time, but I loved it. I didn't reject you."

"No…not then…after that you were distant …and you sent me away…I waited all night for you to call…"- Her voice was almost a whisper.

"Bella, I sent you away, because I didn't want you to see how I act when my mind takes control over me, I didn't want you to see the freak I am. I was afraid to scare you away, then I went to Alice's to be with you and you were gone, and I went to your house and…it was too late."- The tears I had been holding were streaming freely from my eyes; she looked as confused as I was.

"No…no…I saw it in your eyes, I saw the conflict you were having, and I still kept going…I wanted you… and the fact of knowing you wanted to wait, didn't stop me…I was selfish just like Jane … and then you sent me away because you realized that…and I knew you hated me…and I went to your house, I rang that bell until I couldn't feel my finger anymore and you didn't open the door…so I got the message and I left."

" I went for a run… and you left, alright… into Jacob's arms…I saw it Bella."- She looked surprised and offended.

"You saw it? What did you see?"

"I got to your house and you were in his arms, smiling and kissing him…I saw it… and I respected you choice, it's been killing me…but I understood…"- My voice broke, this was too much. She got a thoughtful look and then gasped and shook her head and more tears came down her cheeks.

"I was dreaming about you…I thought it was you…but when his lips touch me and when my hands touched his hair, I realized it wasn't you…and I pushed him away, we had a huge argument and I haven't really talked to him since that day."- We stayed in silence for a long time…had it all been a misunderstanding? An overreaction? Had I been that blind?

BPOV

My mind was working in full speed trying to digest all that had been said. By the look in his face he was doing the same. He thought I had chosen Jacob over him, how could he think thar? He was my life…and was he saying he hadn't rejected me? He had just been afraid that I would see the down side of his geniality. My God…

"How did we let things go this far?"- I asked.

"I don't know…I was so afraid of losing you and then I saw you with him…"- He was crying again and I began to feel a bit of hope in my heart…we could survive this…it wasn't over…the love was still there, I could see it clearly. He still loved me…

"So…you didn't reject me for acting like Jane?"- He came closer and his eyes searched mine.

"You could never act like her Bella; you are the total opposite of her. I didn't feel used…I wanted you as much you wanted me. I still do… yes, I felt a bit of conflict but only because the moment wasn't right and the prove of that was that we got interrupted."

"But I notice the difference…you were so distant…"

"That was my mind overloading, it's kind of weird thing…I kind of get shut out from the world, I didn't want you to see me like that, I'm sorry…"- His eyes showed nothing but sincerity and I felt so stupid.

"I'm sorry too, I overreacted…Alice told me about that…but I didn't listen, all I could think about was Jane, I felt so guilty about doing the same to you…and Jacob…it was nothing…please believe me…"- Before I could say anything else, his lips were on mine, and we kissed desperately, our lips moving hungrily, feeling the need we had for each other.

"I'm sorry I was such a coward and didn't fight for you…If I had done something…if I had talk to you…"

"No…don't blame yourself;"- I said interrupting him.-"I was the one who overreacted, I acted like a child and ran away instead of talking to you."

"We both did…"- He said caressing my cheek…and kissed me again, our tears mixing together while our emotions ran freely, we needed that…we needed that healing moment. With every kiss I felt my heart being put back together again, all the pieces been united with the intensity of our love. All the strings that had been broken between us were now being replaced by a million steel cables, uniting our lives, and making as whole again. Everything in my life, all of my dreams, my thoughts, everything that made me who I was, was being intertwined with Edward, in that healing moment there was no more Bella and Edward, from now on there was only us, we were one, just like that Neruda poem, my hands were his hands, my eyes were his eyes, my life was his life.

"Did you feel that?"- He asked completely overwhelmed.

"Yes…"

"Bella, you are my live now…we can never let something like this happen again."

"I know…do you forgive me?"- I asked

"Yes…do you forgive me?"

"Yes…I'm so sorry…"

"Shh…it's all the past now…"- He said and kissed me again.

"Wow…we just survived our first fight."- I said and we both smile.

"Promise me, we'll never have another fight again…I could not survive going through all that again."

"I promise."

"We'll have to talk about everything, so there is no room for misunderstandings, ok? If you feel the tiniest doubt about anything, you'll have to tell me."

"I promise."- He put his arms around me holding me tightly.

"Oh, my God!"- We heard someone's voice and reality hit us. I had completely forgotten that we were still in school. We turned around and saw Angela holding the door knob and looking at us in surprise, better in shock, Edward arms fell letting me go and panic shaped his face.

"What? Is Bella there?"- I heard Jessica's voice. Angela closed the door a little bit and put her index finger over her lips, asking us to be silently and then close the door.

"No, the room is empty, I just remembered something really stupid, never mind, let's go and look in the paper's room."- After I heard them walk away, I let out a sigh of relief.

"That was close…I had completely forgot we were in school."

"Do you think she'll keep a secret?"- Edward asked in a concern voice.

"Yes, Angela is a good person, she is one of my best friends, I trust her completely."

"Are you sure? I would really hate for us to go through another heavy situation right now."

"Don't worry, trust me."- He smiled.-"I should go, my mom is picking me up, I owe her an apology, for my behavior in the last few days."

"Ok, do you want me to talk to her?"

"No, I'll do it."

"Can I ask you a favor?"

"Anything."

"Please call Alice, she's really freaking out."

"I need to apologize to her, actually to Rose as well. God! I was such a drama queen."- He laughed.-"Will I see you later?"

"Yes, nothing is keeping me from you again; I'll see you, even if I have to break into your house again."- I smiled.

"I really don't want to leave…"

"I know…but this is our reality for now."- I knew he was right, but I had just gotten him back, I wanted to stay with him.

"I love you Edward, never forget that."

"I love you too. Now go before someone else comes in here."- I kissed him gently and left.

I felt like a new person, actually I was a new person. I was complete new Bella, I felt alive again. I had been so stupid, we still had a lot to talk about, but one thing was sure we would not survive apart from each other; we shared the same life, now.

I didn't realize we were in there for so long, classes were over and the halls were practically empty. I needed to find Angela, I walked to the paper room but she wasn't there so I went outside, to look for her. I spotted her in the parking lot, talking to my mom who did not seem to be very happy. They saw me approaching and my mom kept her eyes on me.

"Hi, mom."- I said smiling and she looked surprised, came closer and hugged me.

"Oh, honey…it's so good to see you smiling again. I was so worried."

"I'm ok, now. We'll talk later. Do you mind if I have a talk with Angela."

"I'll just wait here, take your time."- My mom must have been really worried because she didn't argue with me.

I took Angela to the side and looked around to see if no one was close enough to hear us, she just looked at me and smiled.

"Thank you, for not saying anything."

"I'm your friend; I would never betray you like that."- She smiled widely.-"You and Edward, my God, I can't believe it. Do you love him? Does he love you?"

"Yes, very, very much."

"I'm very happy for you, Bella. You deserve an awesome guy like him."

"Thanks."

"Can I ask you something really personal?"

"Sure."

"Did you guys have a fight? Was that why you were missing school?"

"Yes…it was a huge misunderstanding."

"I thought so, he was really sad all week."

"We are ok, now…I'm going to have to ask you to keep this a secret, you understand."

"Bella, you don't have to ask me that, I wasn't going to tell anyone."

"Thank you."

"But, you have to promise me to tell me how this happened. I'm dying to know. I mean all of us look at him, drooling but I never thought…wow this is so cool! I'm there for you, for whatever you need."

"Thanks Angela. That means a lot. I really need to go right now, but I promise I'll tell you all about it later."- We hugged, I really love Angela, she was so pure and honest, it was easy to be her friend.

"I missed you."

"I missed you to; you don't know how good it feels to be able to talk to you about this. But I really need to go now, see tomorrow."

"Bye."

I watched her leave and went back to my mom, she was inside the car. I got in and took my seat; she started the car and drove away.

"I can see that you're better, does that have anything to do with Edward?"

"Yes."

"What happened between you two? You were fine when I left on Friday."

"It was really stupid, I overreacted about something stupid and I thought he didn't want me anymore, so I left and he came here and found me and Jacob. That moron, I hate him so much right now."

"You shouldn't say that, he came by every day to see how you were doing."

"He had an important role in Edward's behavior, you see when I came home Jacob was there and I was devastated, so I cried on his shoulder but I hadn't slept all night and ended up falling asleep in his arms, and I was dreaming and he kissed me and Edward saw it. He thought I had chose to be with Jacob and just couldn't face him. We both acted stupid jumping into conclusions without talking to each other, and ended up hurting each other deeply."

"I see…did you make up."

"Yes…there are still a lot of things we need to talk about, but we forgave each other, and that's the main thing."

"Bella, you are too deep into that relationship, it's not healthy, and the proof of that is the way you acted the last few days…I don't know but maybe this is not the best for you."

"No…don't even go there…all relationships have ups and downs."

"Bella, you were in bed for days. That is not a down it is insane behavior."

"Mom, no matter what you said, I'm not leaving Edward ever again, this only happened because we are afraid to lose each other. This are different now, something changed inside of me, it's like our lives are intertwined, you can't remove one without destroying the other, and the last few days are a proof of that. We need to be together, it's the only way we can both survive."- I had to make her understand how deep and intense our feelings were.

"Honey that sounds a bit drastic, you're so young…"

"I know that mom, but it's not drastic, it's just intense, we belong to each other, I have no doubt of that now, so please understand. I'll only be happy and complete if he is in my life."

"I don't know, I was freaking out this past few days. I felt so impotent, watching you suffer and not being able to do anything about it. What if it happened again?"

"It won't…I think we both learned our lesson. Mom, I really would like to have your support, it would be a lot easier, but if you don't accept this it will only drive me away from you. I won't be able to live without him. This is not a threat, it's the reality."- She was quiet for the rest of the ride home. I didn't say a word, letting her alone with her thoughts.

"I don't want to lose you, Bella. But I also don't want to see you suffer."- She said parking in the drive way.

"Mom, I know this is difficult for you, and it must have been a nightmare seeing me like that, and I'm sorry for that. I know things will be different from now, we are different, stronger."

"But what if something else happens?"

"I don't think it will, but if it does, I'll deal with it, first with Edward, and then with you. I'm still learning how to live. I'll make many mistakes, but I'll make them with you and Edward by my side."

"Oh, honey…"- She pulled me into her arms.-"I just wished I could protect you from all that."

"You can't, it's called growing up, and that's something I have to do by myself, you'll just have to trust me."

"I know, but it is so hard…Bella you looked like you had given up on life."

"I don't have a life without him, mom. I know this sounds a bit lunatic. But it is true…and we are learning how to build our relationship and how to be together, to live with our differences we made a huge mistake, but it is over now. We will learn from this and grow stronger."

"You sound so sure of yourself."

"I am."- She looked at me and then smiled and shook her head.

"Ok, enough with the heavy, let's go inside, I'm sure you are starving."

"Actually I am."- We walked out of the car and she put her arms around me.

"I'm really happy to have my daughter back."

We went inside and she cooked for me, I was so hungry that I didn't even complaint about the strange taste the omelet had. I told her about my talk with Edward, and I could see she had calm down, but I couldn't blame, I had acted really stupid.


So, they are back together again...uff...I hope you liked it. Now will they still go to the Spring dance? Will they spend spring break together?

Don't forget to review...I'll try to post the next chapter soon...thank you for reading.
