Hi everyone, sorry for the long wait in updating but I finally got my own laptop, so that means I will be able to update more frequently. Well, tell me what you guys think! Also thank you for all of you who reviewed. I appreciate you guys!
I do not own Twilight okay people!
Bella's POV
Don't look back, Bella. Don't you dare stop right now Bella.
I kept repeating those words as I walked towards Tanya, who was down the hall watching me walk towards her silently. I couldn't dare to stop now. I was not scared of her as to stop and go back to the room.
Some part of my mind noticed, while I was walking towards Tanya, that Edward's voice had stopped, or at least got drowned along with all the other voices that ranged behind me.
''Well, well, I thought you wouldn't show up, Swan,'' Tanya's voice was loud enough for me to hear, even though I was about ten feet away from her still.
I rolled my eyes, but didn't respond back. Why should I? I was not going to say something that I would totally regret later.
''Well, are you not going to answer? Or are you too scared to answer without your big brother or Edward here?'' she pouted.
I felt my hands ball up into fists, which was surprising because I wasn't a violent person. How dare she involve Emmett here, or even Edward. They both were not going to fight my fights. I was old enough, despite what Emmett thought, to defend myself.
But again, I didn't answer because she wasn't going to provoke me to anything.
Standing in front of her, she looked me up and down like I was some piece she just had to look at a museum.
''What do you want?'' I asked, wanting to get this over with.
''Edward,'' she answered quickly. ''I want Edward, but you seem to be getting in the way.''
I shook my head. ''You talk like he is a jacket you just have to have, Denali, but you know what, I'm not getting in your way-''
''Yes you are,'' her low voice was menacing.
''Edward can decide who he wants, don't you think?'' I asked back. Seriously this was getting beyond ridiculous. I had no control whatsoever over Edward's feelings.
Sure I liked him....a lot, but why did she have to know. Heck, she didn't.
''Give up on him, Bella! He would never want you, you are simply a piece of garbage who...and let's be honest, he just talks to you because he feels sorry for you. Or maybe it is because you are his friend's sister,'' she whispered.
I didn't know what got over me that made me scream my next words. Maybe I was mad, or had gone completely insane, which was a likely possibility.
''I don't love Edward, heck I don't even like him!'' I screamed maybe a little bit too loudly.
There was a moment of silence when my mind realized the word that had been speaking through my lips.
Tanya looked at me unbelievably, obviously not believing a single word that came out of my mouth.
''Oh come on, Swan, you know that you are totally in love with him. Everyone knows that. Isn't it obvious?'' she yelled at me, making me flinch.
I shook my head, if there was something I had was self-respect. I would never let anyone speak to me like that, let alone Tanya.
''You know what Tanya, be quiet. I have had enough of you! Marry Edward for all I care! I don't care. Just, leave me alone!'' I yelled back, meaning every word except the marry Edward part.
It was true, and I would be the first one to admit it, that I didn't have control over who Edward loved or hated, but if he ever dated Tanya, it would hurt me, deeply.
''Then what is this, Bella?'' Tanya asked holding up a notebook. I took in a deep breath.
To anybody, it would be just a notebook, but to me it was where I kept all my secrets. The was the notebook that held all my stories and feelings for Edward that my best friends told me to get it down on paper.
Immediately, I glared at her. ''How did you get that?'' I asked, each word pronounced carefully.
Tanya looked pleased at my reaction. ''I don't know,'' she answered grinning.
''Give it back, Tanya,'' I yelled loud enough for her to hear, but she pretended otherwise.
''Give me one reason why I should,'' she spoke harshly.
''That notebook belongs to me, Tanya, and you know that,'' I told her, trying m hardest to soften my voice. Yelling at her, and loosing my temper would not help me in this situation.
To be honest, I didn't think anything would. Tanya knew that she could use this for her benefit.
''Nope, never. But why don't you tell Edward what you have here,'' she spoke Edward's name loudly, and I winced.
I didn't have to look back to realize Edward had listened to every single word I had said.
Edward stood kind of awkwardly between both Tanya and me. Maybe he wished he wasn't in this position, but his curious face told me otherwise.
I couldn't tell Edward anything about The Notebook -yeah, Alice nicknamed it like that since she read it- it was way too personal.....and he just couldn't!
In that notebook all my secrets were handwritten, all my feelings, all the lies and all the truths. The reason why I told him I only wanted to be friends was hidden in there between lines of sweet comments and tears that were shed.
''Well, Edward it seems like you like to eavesdrop,'' Tanya spoke sweetly. Sickly sweet.
I looked away, I closed my eyes. This couldn't be happening, it had to be a joke, or even a dream. Something that I would wake up and realize that I have an overrunning imagination. Maybe I was day dreaming, that would be better. Way better.
''I was looking for Bella, that is it,'' Edward's usually soft voice was hard, obviously he had listened to more than what I would have liked.
''Well, don't worry, you happen to be just in time,'' Tanya spoke softly, trying to soften Edward up to no avail.
''In time for what?'' Edward asked looking at me. His expression was hard, but I knew him enough to know that he was trying to hide something. I just could not figure out what it was at that moment.
Like if Edward had asked Tanya the question, she answered. ''Time for you to know what Bella has kept away from you since you both got together and broke apart,'' she answered with a smile.
At that moment I had no idea what her smile could possibly mean but I should have expected what came.
But it all together took me for surprise.
Okay, sorry again, and happy Easter! I personnaly call it The Bunny Day, but that is me!
Okay please review and tell me what you think, I really want to hear it!
