Chapter 7- Face Up, by Lights
Bella.
I couldn't believe this, she finally broke down. I knew it would hit her some day, but I didn't know she would come to me. I stood there shocked, and she knocked again, so I finally opened the window to let her in.
"Bella I'm so sorry I…I just didn't know where to go." She threw her hands in her face and cried more. I ran to her and threw my arms around her.
"Leah its okay, I'm always here for you." I sat her on my bed and waited for her to tell me what happened but she just kept crying so I had to ask.
"So what's going on, why are you here? Not that I don't want you here, just curious." She took a deep breath and wiped her eyes.
"I just can't take it anymore! People won't stop talking about my party; it's been two weeks already! Ugh I just don't know what to do!" Well shit I don't know what to do either. I have known Leah for many years and it's not like her to break down like this… over what people are saying. I guess would break down after two weeks of people talking shit on my party.
"Just ignore them; they are just mad cause they got in trouble." But then again it was her fault they got in trouble, well not exactly; it's not like she knew when her mom was going to come home.
"But it's my fault they got in trouble!" she murmured. I knew she was going to say that.
"No it's not… it's your moms fault."I assured her. She looked up at me and smiled.
"Yeah I guess you're right." She said wiping her tears.
"I just have to keep your head up and everything will be alright. I'm sure they will stop talking about your party sooner or later." I told her as walked to my dresser to get something that would make us both feel better.
"Whoa where did you get that?" Leah asked wide eyed.
"Um Jacob and I don't know where he gets it." I opened the bag of weed I had and took out my bong I had in the closet. I put a pinch of it in the bowl and handed it to Leah.
"Yeah I think I need a lighter Bells." She smirked. I didn't even take a hit yet and I was already forgetting things. I reached in my pocket and gave her my blue lighter.
I watched her take a hit, she looked so relaxed now. As she handed me the bong she blew the rest of the smoke in my face. I think I was high just off of that.
"Damn that is some good shit. I should have Jacob hook it up for me too." She laid back on the bed as I took my long hit which caused me to choke a little. We both smoked the rest of the bowl which was just another hit for both of us. Then we decided to go outside and lay in the middle of my drive way to look at the stars.
"If I tell you something you promise not to tell anyone?" Leah asked me turning her head away from the sky to look at me.
"Yeah I promise." Assured her and put my pinkie the air and she then wrapped hers around mine.
"Um I kind of slept with Edward on my birthday." She said while biting her lip. Like I didn't already know that, but it was still a surprise that she said that. I was speechless.
"Bella please don't say anything!" she begged, and I would never, I am really good at keeping secrets.
"I don't tell anyone, I swear." I looked away from her as she said her thanks and looked back at the stars.
"So how was it?" I just had to ask. A little curious to just how good Edward was. I could tell it was good because when I asked, a big smile pulled onto her face
"It was short… but amazing." She took a deep breath still staring at the stars. She is so lucky to have had sex with Edward.
"Yeah you guys weren't gone long." I murmured. Never thought I would be jealous of Leah.
"I was surprised though." She laughed. "He is a lot bigger than Sam." We both started laughing. She looked at her phone to see what time it was and made a sad face.
"Hey I have to go, before my mom gets home and I get in more trouble… I had to pay Seth to keep his mouth shut." We got up and I gave her a hug and watched her walk away.
"See you tomorrow!" I yelled after her. She turned around and waved.
As I was about to crawl through my window someone's window went up, and this time I knew it was him.
"Hey what are you doing outside?" Edward asked.
"Leah was just here, and we were lying in my driveway." He made a weird face at me like I was retarded or something.
"What? You never laid in your driveway and looked at the stars?" I asked a little curious.
"No, but I have gone on my roof to do that." He smirked. I loved his smile; I just wanted to tackle him.
"I'm sure if I was to go on the roof I would fall off." We both started laughing; knowing something like that would happen to me.
"So did Leah say anything about me?" he said flashing is signature player smile.
"She might have said something, but I doubt you want to know." I told sarcastically.
"What did she say?!" he asked
"Um I think I'm going to bed." I assured him as I crawled through my window.
"Come on Bella, tell me p-p-please!" he said making a pouty face, which was really cute.
"Ha nice face! Good night Edward." I winked at him and closed my window and headed to bed. A few minutes later I heard his window shut too.

I woke up from another dream of being with Edward Cullen. I wish he would change his ways so I could be with him. Being his best friend was getting harder and harder.
I got ready for school and did me normal routine. I picked up Jacob and Renesseme and went to school. When we got to school we all went our separate ways.
"Hey Bella! Excited for basketball season to start?!" Tanya yelled from behind me. I stopped and waited for her to catch up to me.
"Yes! We are so going to kick ass this year!" We got second place in the championship last year and lost to Carson High … our neighbor and worst enemy. When me and Tanya got to the gym, Leah and Jessica were already playing ball and some other girls that were on the team.
"Hey guys, we got a lot of new players this year." Jessica told us looking at all the girls.
"I doubt all of them are going to make tryouts." Tanya hissed making a shot with her eyes closed.
"Show off!" Leah shouted at her. We started laughing and then the bell rang.
"So are you going to have a party Bells, for your birthday?" Jessica asked.
I was about to answer and someone bumped into me really hard.
"Ow! What the fuck jerk!" I said to the girl that bumped me as she was walking away, she turned around and said "Do me a favor and call me jerk one more time." Ha was this girl serious? I love that song.
"Jerk!" Jessica, Tanya, Leah, and Me said at the same time and started laughing.
"Oh sorry about that, I was in a rush." The girl said and waved bye.
"Who was that? She is pretty cool." I asked hoping one of them knew her.
"Her name is Corinne, and she transferred her from Carson, she was the best player on their team." Tanya told me, it didn't seem like Tanya like her that much.
"Well I hope she makes the team." Jessica said a little excited.
"Why? She is the reason we lost last year's championship." Tanya muttered. Now I remember. That was the girl who knocked the ball out of Tanya's hands and made a shot right before the final bell rang. If Tanya made that shot we would have won, and she felt so guilty.
"That's why need her on the team, so we could win." Leah said breaking the silence. We all agreed but Tanya just rolled her eyes.
The girls stopped walking and just started staring at something or something in shock.
"What are you guys looking…" I followed their gaze and saw Edward Cullen shirtless. He was carrying his shirt in the other hand and it looked soaked, then I looked away from his body and saw that his hair was dripping wet. Emmett and Jasper now had an empty bucket which was full of water until they poured it on Edward.
"You girls see something you like?"Edward smirked, which caused all of us to blush and walk away. We then we started laughing about how ridiculous we looked.
"Hey Bella, thanks for last night again." Leah said giving me hugged.
"Leah the way you feel is something everybody goes through." I told her truthfully, as she sighed and walked away and we both headed for class.
