What was going on? First Edward ignores me and now he was pronouncing his undying love….what should I believe? I want to love him and I want to believe that he loves me back, but after everything that has happened in the past month, how can I trust him. My heart was already broken, but if I believed him and he left again it would shatter for sure.
I couldn't stop the tears from spilling from my eyes once more, and I saw the look in his eyes turn from love to panic. I had to give him an answer, but I was still so unsure of what answer to give him. So I did the only rational thing…..I leaned in and connected his soft lips with my own.
His hand reached up grabbing the back of my neck pulling us closer and it was in that moment that I knew I had made the right choice by going with my heart rather than logic. When we broke from our kiss so that we could catch our breath, I rested my forehead against his. This was by far the happiest moment that I have had in the past month.
"So does that mean I am forgiven?" He asked with my favorite crooked grin playing against his perfect lips. I bit my bottom lip trying to hide just how wide I wanted to smile as I nodded my head against his. "Good, cause I was really starting to miss that beautiful blush of yours." He brushed the back of his hand down the side of my cheek causing my cheeks to turn to a bright shade of red.
"But don't ever think about doing that again." I said as I poked my finger hard into his chest, causing him to smile once again. Edward moved his hand from my cheek to under my chin, staring once more deeply into my eyes.
"Never." And his lips came crashing onto mine confirming what he had just said. I felt his tongue slide across my bottom lip asking for entrance, which I happily granted. I am not quite sure how long we shared that wonderful kiss, until I faintly heard rushed footsteps heading in our direction and a loud booming voice that seemed too echoed between the buildings.
"Bella! What the hell do you think you are doing? Get your hands off of her!" Jacob. I had forgotten all about Jacob, until he grabbed me by my shoulders, pulling me out of Edward's embrace. This is when I noticed that Jake wasn't alone, standing behind him in the shadows were Quil and Embry. "The bathroom? You promised that you would be right back and then you are nowhere to be found. You almost gave me a heart attack, and then I come out here and find you with that…that jerk. Damn it Bella, are you really going to believe his lies again? I mean last time he broke your heart, you were an empty shell! Come on we are going home!" He started to pull me towards the parking lot but I was fighting to get back to my Edward, who was being held back by Jake's two lug head friends.
"Jacob, let me go! I forgive him because I love him! Let me go!" I turned around to see Edward fighting to get out of their grasps to make his way towards us, with a look of pure hatred on his face. He looked like he was ready to kill Jake, Quil and Embry for taking me out of his arms, and I couldn't help but smile at this. He was willing to fight for me. "Edward! Please Jake let me go…I love him! Please!" Edward finally managed to break free and charged at us, but it was too late, Jake already had me strapped into the car with child proof locks and was starting the engine.
I started to pound against the car door trying to get out even though I knew my attempts were futile, and tears were streaming down my face blurring my vision. As we turned out of the parking lot quickly, I turned in my seat to see Edward still running after our speeding car down the road. When we got too far ahead and I turned back around, ready to kill Jake for what he had just done.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I spat out with my arms crossed across my chest just to fight the urge to punch the driver of the speeding car. His hands were clenched tightly around the wheel and his face was scrunched into a scowl.
"Wait until Charlie hears about this." His voice held so much venom that I couldn't help but wonder what Edward had done to Jake that made him hate him so much.
"You have no right to tell Charlie anything! This is my business! Mine and Edward's, not yours!" By now we were pulling into Charlie's driveway and Jake was getting out of the car, making his way towards my side of the car. He opened the door but I remained where I was with my arms folded against my chest, but this didn't stop him from picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder.
"Jake, what are you doing with Bella?" Asked Charlie from the doorway as he held the door open for us. Jake dropped me on the couch were I continued to stare with hate at Jake. "What is going on you two?" Charlie still held a bit of laughter in his voice, which I knew would soon diminish once Jake told tonight's story.
"I found her with him. In a very compromising situation, if you ask me." What! My mouth fell open and my hands fell to my side. He was blowing this whole situation out of the water, and I could tell from the look on Charlie's face that he believed him. "She said she was going to the bathroom, but when she didn't come back after awhile I went to look for her and what I found….." Oh, I was going to strangle that boy!
"Bella, what on earth were you thinking! Did you….have you…I thought you two broke up?" He stuttered, with a look of rage in his eyes. The tension that filled the room was becoming unbearable, so I finally snapped.
"Nothing happened! Edward and I were just talking and we made up! That's it, so before your mind wanders through those scenarios….that is all that happened. Well that is before Jake and his stupid friends dragged me home!" I shouted and both of them just stared at me wide eyed.
"Bella go upstairs. And Jake thank-you for bringing her home." Charlie said as he patted Jake on the shoulder and I stormed up the stairs and slamming my door shut. I buried my head into my pillow to help muffle my tears. I heard the door open after awhile, and Charlie sit on the end of my bed. "Bells, I don't want you seeing that boy again. He is bad and he has already hurt you once and no doubt that he will do it again. Now I am not going to put you on house arrest, you can still go see Jake but no more Edward. Do you understand?" I didn't answer him, because I knew if I spoke now that I would regret it later. "Well good-night then. Oh and I am going fishing early in the morning with Billy in case you are wondering where I am when you get up….good-night Bells."
I sobbed into my pillow for a good few hours before my eyes dried up and I had no more tears to shed. They couldn't keep me from Edward; I would find a way to be with him. I would…..my thoughts were interrupted by a soft pinging on my window. I rush over to my window, pushing it open to see my beautiful Edward in the moonlight.
"Can you come down?" Whispered Edward from the ground. I shook my head knowing that Charlie would be able to hear me opening the doors if I tried to go out. "Alright then, stand back I am coming up." Before I could protest Edward had already began to scale the large tree next to my window. I backed-up standing closer to my bed as Edward swung his legs through my open window. I ran over to him wrapping my arms around his waist as he stroked my long brown hair. "See I told you I couldn't stay away." He giggled, as he pulled my face up to his and placed the softest of kisses upon my lips.
"Bells are you up, I thought I heard voices….how the hell did you get in my daughter's bedroom?" Boomed Charlie from the doorway as Edward and I broke apart.
