Chapter 6
Bella:
I woke up early the next morning. I looked over at the clock and saw it read 7:45AM
Then I looked over at Alice and saw she was still asleep like a normal person.
I sighed and quietly headed downstairs.
And like last night, found Edward in the kitchen, eating.
But instead of a nasty Oreo it was cereal.
"Good morning." I greeted him as I sat down across from him.
He looked up at me and smiled.
"Good morning. Sleep well?"
"Yeah. Did you?"
"Oh yes." His smile grew. What was that suppose to mean?
"Okay then….what cereal is that?"
"Cheerios."
"Honey nut?"
"Of course."
"Good."
I got some cereal and we ate in comfortable silence.
And then just as I finished Alice and Emmett came downstairs looking sleepy.
"Good morning." They both mumbled.
Edward laughed. "Good morning to you too."
"Yeah, yeah. I need food." Emmett mumbled.
After we all ate Alice immediately rushed me upstairs so she could dress me up.
"You can pick it out Alice but be reasonable not any of that stuff you tried putting me in yesterday."
"Fine." She grumbled.
And then her eyes shined and she smiled. "I have the perfect outfit."
Edward:
After breakfast I got dressed and me and Emmett waited for Alice and Bella.
And all I could think about was last night.
I wanted Lauren but Bella….there was something different about her.
Was I starting to really have feelings for her?
But before I could even answer the question in my head Bella came down stairs.
And my eyes widened and I think my jaw hit the floor.
She was wearing tight red skinny jeans and a vintage black and white tank top,
over that was a black vintage jacket.
And a black studded diamond belt that hung over her hips.
Her long dark brown hair which was usually straight and down,
now had long curls but not too many and not too thick they were perfect.
But what really caught my attention was her face.
Bella never wore make up. But today she did.
She had red lipstick on her full lips but not too bright or dark.
Black eye shadow covered the lids of her eyes and was striking against the pale color of her skin. And lastly the one thing I knew she had a say in was her black converse sneakers. I smiled at that. Only Bella. But she looked stunning.
"Wow." I breathed when she came and stood next to me.
"I know I have a gift don't I?" Alice said as she came down stairs.
"Yes you do." I whispered as I continued to stare into Bella's eyes.
She blushed and I smiled.
"You look beautiful." I whispered.
"Thank you." Her blush deepened and so did my smile.
"Alright you too. Time to go." Alice said as she headed for the door.
And with that we left the house.
Bella:
There were plenty of stares as I walked down the hall hand in hand with Edward.
I had to admit Alice did do a good job. And I did like my outfit.
But I hate when people stare. It creeps me out.
Edward kissed me lightly on the lips and we both went to our separate classes.
The day was going by pretty fast and before I knew it it was already lunch.
A couple guys had tried to ask me out.
And some girls gave me complimented on my outfit.
It was nice and all but I wish the attention on me would fade all ready.
I hate too much attention.
After I finished my sandwich I looked up to see Edward staring at me.
"What?" I asked nervously.
"Nothing." He smiled.
And I rolled my eyes. And then I saw a blond staring daggers at me.
Who the hell-It was her! The same girl from yesterday!
"Um I'll be right back." I mumbled and then I rushed to the bathroom.
Edward:
What was that about? I wondered.
And then I saw Lauren heading in the same direction as Bella.
Shit. I quickly got up and rushed out into the hall.
"Hey." I called out to her.
She turned around and glared at me.
"What?" She hissed.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you care?"
"Lauren-"
"Save it! Why don't you go back and wait for your girlfriend?"
"Stay away from her, Lauren."
"Don't tell me what to do Edward. I thought you cared for me."
Her face crumbled and a tear ran down her cheek.
And all my anger crumbled as I wrapped my arms around her.
"I do care about you. I was so hurt when I saw you and Tyler I-I just wanted to hurt you as much as you hurt me. And I thought if I pretended to date Bella that you would get jealous."
"Well mission complete." She mumbled.
"I'm sorry for hurting you."
"I'm sorry for hurting you too. But you really don't care about her? You're just using
her?"
I hesitated for a moment. "Yes." I finally answered.
She looked at me and smiled and wiped away her tears.
"Tyler means nothing to me Edward. I was just so drunk. I'm sorry."
"I know." I murmured.
She kissed me lightly on the lips and I wrapped my arms around her waist as her arms wrapped around my neck.
But the kiss wasn't what it used to be.
It wasn't Bella's kiss.
This wasn't Bella. What was I doing?!
I broke the kiss and Lauren pouted trying to kiss me again.
"I know you love me Edward." She purred.
And then I heard a gasp and turned around to see Bella.
Hurt anger and pain in her dark brown eyes.
When she met my gaze she immediately ran.
I turned to run after her but Lauren grabbed my arm, stopping me.
"Forget about her. You love me."
"No Lauren I don't. I made a mistake." And then I pried her arm off and ran.
"EDWARD!" She screamed but I ignored her and ran after Bella.
"Bella! Bella!" I shouted when I ran outside.
And then I spotted her. Under a tree, eyes closed, tears running down her face.
I knelt down beside her and reached for her arm.
"Bel-"
"Don't. Touch. Me." She said through gritted teeth as her eyes shot open and she glared at me.
"Bella, please I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I did at first but I don't anymore. I don't love her. I never did. I wanted her but I don't anymore. I want you."
"Liar! I heard the whole thing! You used me! We were friends Edward! I thought you cared about me."
"I do." I said desperately.
"No you don't! If you did you would never have done what you did!" She screamed at me standing up.
"Bella please I made a mistake!"
"So did I. I should have never trusted you."
That hurt. It hurt like hell.
"I don't want to ever see you again but since that's near impossible, do me a favor and stay the hell away from me. I never want to speak to you again Edward."
And with that she ran back to the school leaving me in a daze of hurt and regret.
I made a mistake. A huge one. That now couldn't be fixed.
And then Jasper's words from the party rung in my head making my blood run cold:
"You're playing with fire Edward and you're going to get burned. Bad."
