I don't own anything that belongs to Stephenie Meyer. Like her characters Edward, Bella, Charlie, Jacob, and Jessica. I think that's it.

Chapter 7
Trying to Forget
As far as I know, I cried all night. I honestly don't even remember falling asleep. My dad woke me up by knocking on my door.
"Bella, are you alright," he asked hesitantly. He always freaked out when I cried, which was rarely.
"Oh, yeah, I'm okay," I replied trying to make it sound true. It looked like he saw through it, but he didn't acknowledge it. He nodded his head and left my room. I kind of wished he didn't though. It gave me more time to think and that was the last thing I wanted to do. I was so glad it was a Saturday. I didn't have to see him. It was weird not being able to even think his name. I did my usual morning routine then went downstairs. My dad eyed me suspiciously. I pretended he wasn't there. I had no idea what I was going to do to act like I was okay. I decided to think things over while I ate my cereal. I did breakup with him, but I did still have some feelings for him. It would explain why I so shaken up about all this. One thing I didn't understand was that I knew he was jealous of Edward, but he was obviously with Jessica.
I really wanted to tell someone about this, but I didn't know who. I didn't really have any good friends around. I thought of all the possible people I could tell and I came up with only one. Edward. He was the only one who I knew wouldn't go running to someone and it getting around the school. I finished my cereal then went up to my room and debated whether to talk to Edward or not. I ended with not. I fell asleep and woke up to my phone ringing with a text. It was from an unknown number. I opened my phone and looked at it. It read:
Would you really like to come to my house?-E
I was little confused at first, but then figured out it was Edward. I smiled to myself. I wasn't exactly sure how Edward could have these effects on me, when I barely knew him. I kept thinking that, but I was truly perplexed. I texted him back.
Sure, but I don't know where you live. Just a question… how'd you get my number? –B
I decided to change. I didn't really want to arrive in the clothes I'd just slept in. A few minutes later I got another text.
I'll come pick you up in about 10 minutes. Jessica. –E
I laughed a little to myself. I imagined Jessica was angry that he would ask for my number, but give it to him anyway. It didn't matter that Jessica had him. She always wanted whatever she didn't have. I went downstairs and saw my dad watching football. I realized I had to tell my dad something. There was no way he would just let my behavior pass. I decided to act normal like nothing happened.
"Hey Dad, is it okay if go to my friend's house after school?" I asked as I sat down the couch casually.
"Sure Bells. Are you okay now?" He asked turning his attention away from football and on to me. I quickly thought of something to say. I hoped it would sound more convincing than my previous lie.
"Yeah, it was just a misunderstanding," I replied. I only wished it was a misunderstanding. "I'm all good now." I smiled in an attempt to prove it. He nodded like he bought it. I didn't push anything else I just sat and waited for Edward. At exactly 10 minutes from when I got my text, I heard knocking on the door. I swiftly got up and answered the door. I didn't really want my dad to know I was going to a boy's house as he thought I was still with Jacob.
"Bye Dad!" I yelled while grabbing my jacket and left my house. I didn't want to wait for his reply in case he came to the door.
"In a rush?" Edward asked. I rolled my eyes and nudged him playfully.
"I just figured it'd be better if my dad didn't know you were a boy," I replied walking towards his Volvo. Edward chuckled and asked, "And why is that?"
"He doesn't know about… him and what happened," I almost whispered. I hated acting that way around Edward. He seemed a little saddened. Edward opened the passenger door for me then walked over to the driver side. I wasn't sure what to say after that. I wondered if he still would want me to come to his house. I decided to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Edward. I shouldn't have said anything," I said looking down and playing with my jacket zipper.
"Bella, it's alright. I understand that it will take some time. Do you still want to come to my house?" he replied. It just amazed that he was actually real. I'd never met a guy who was understanding.
I smiled at him with gratitude and replied, "Thanks. Yes, I do. Can we just forget about the whole?" I laughed a little trying to lighten the mood. He smiled crookedly and my heart started pounding instantly.
"Of course," he said. We turned and then I saw the most amazing house ever. "By the way, my cousin is visiting. She's a little wild, but I'll try to help as much as possible," he said. As if the house was intimidating enough, and now I have to meet his cousin. He parked then opened my door for me. Here goes nothing, I thought to myself.
Sorry it was kind of short, but I haven't updated in a longggg time. I'm really sorry. I promise it won't happen again. Next chapter will be the best I can do. Please tell me what you think. I love reading your comments. Thanks to adding to your favorites and alerts. If you have any suggestions please tell me, I'll most likely use them. Promise. Okay, that's it!
