Chapter 5:

EPOV

I stormed up to where Bella and Mike were standing. Bella had her eyes closed and Mike was attacking her neck. I saw her move very slightly and take in a small breath, just as I pull Mike off of her and punch him in the face. He falls to the ground and groans, holding his face. I snort in disgust and then glare down at him, debating weather or not to kick his ass some more. I almost hit him again when I heard her voice.

"Edward." She whispered just loud enough for me to catch it. "What are you doing here?"

I looked in her direction, giving her the same look I gave Mike. She stood up rubbing her head lightly, looking happy. How could she do this to me, again? Didn't she miss me at all? She gives me a small smile, but it drops when sees the look on my face. She flinches slightly, her face expression changes from happy to confusion.

"What's-" She started, but I interrupt her.

"What the fuck Bella?" I ask, my anger very prominent. She flinched at my tone. "What the hell are you doing with Mike? I thought you were supposed to be with Alice and Rose."

"I was but I-" She tries again, but I don't want to hear her excuses.

"I cant believe you would do this again. Its been, what, two days? And-" I continue but she cuts me off.

"EDWARD, SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR A SEC!" She shouts, glaring at me. I stop talking but don't soften my expression. "I wasn't doing anything again. Mike cornered me outside of the bathroom! If you would let me talk instead of fucking making assumptions you'd know what the fuck happened."

I feel my expression change slightly. I want to believe her, but if she didn't want to why didn't she push him away? I stare at my Bella, her eyes glistening with tears. She sighs quietly and her bottom lip quivers, she bites down on it. I don't want to fight with her. Its been three days and I've missed her so much, and the first time I see her since she left I yell at her. I sigh, feeling myself giving in and drop my defensive pose. I open my mouth to say something, right as the bouncer walks up.

"Excuse me, but you three are going to have to leave the premises." he says in a low, annoyed tone to Bella, Mike, and I. Although Mike has just started getting up and probably needs help out, but I'll be damned if its me.

"Of course. I'm sorry that we've cause such a commotion." Bella says, shaking her head slightly and turning to leave.

I follow close behind her as she makes her way to the exit. I try to think of something to say, I guess I should start with an apology. I open my mouth to tell her when I hear a high-pitched voice calling Bella's name. God, how many more people are going to interrupt me? We look to see Rose, Jasper, and Emmett right behind Alice. Once they reach us we leave the building.

"What happened?" Alice asks Bella, worry plain on her face.

"Mike was here. He cornered me while I was coming out of the bathroom." Bella explains.

"Oh, my god. I'm so sorry Bella. We should have went with you." Rose said.

"It's fine. Edward saved me." She reassure them.

It was partly a lie. Although I did pull Mike off of her, I accused her of being with Mike again. I felt the consequence of my words slowly seep in, as I felt everyone's eyes on me. We fell into an awkward silence, probably wondering what we should all do. I continued to stare at the ground, more worried about my own dilemma. We would probably decide on going home, which made me wonder. Would Bella come back home? Would she forgive me? Crap, she probably hates me right now. And now I have more begging for forgiveness to do. I sighed, just as Bella spoke again.

"Maybe we should get away from this club…" She says, breaking the silence.

"We should go get some coffee or something." Alice offers. There was a chorus of 'okays' and then we all headed to our cars, splitting up into the groups we came in. Once we were in the car the questions started.

"Edward, what the hell?" Jasper asked.

"What happened?" Emmett asked.

I re-explained seeing Mike on top of Bella, and misinterpreting that for something else. I told them about punching Mike and then accusing Bella, and then I told them what she said to me. When I finished I look out of the window and sighed. I heard Jasper sigh and then Emmett spoke.

"Why do you do that Edward?" He asked.

"I thought you wanted to fix this, not make it worse." Jasper added.

"I know, I just got caught up in the moment and I was pissed at Mike, and I just… freaked." I sighed. "You guys are supposed to make me feel better, not worse."

"Your right, sorry man." Jasper said.

"Ya, sorry… But you know your going to have to double apologize right?" Emmett said.

"Ya, I know" I said.

"It's gonna be alright man." Jasper said.

"Ya, man. You know she'll forgive you." Emmett added, just as we pull up to the coffee shop.

I hoped so, I thought as we got out of the car and waited for the girls. I kind of miss this, all of us getting together and just hanging out. It would be great if Bella didn't hate my fucking guts right now. We all stood by the Jeep, not speaking. The girls pulled up a couple minutes later. Alice and Rose were the first ones out, and the ran to Jasper and Emmett. When Bella came out see wasn't looking at me, she was staring at the ground as she walked toward me. I held my breath as I waited for her to say something.

"We need to talk." She says meeting my gaze, her face very serious. I just nod and follow her.

I let out the air I was holding in and tried to take deep breaths as I walk next to her. 'we need to talk', four words that no one wants to hear. I tried not to rush to conclusions, that's were all guys mess up in the movies. 'we need to talk' could mean just that, we need to talk, it doesn't always have to end in a break up… right? I shook my head as we made it to the front of the small line, and ordered mine and Bella's drink. She gave me a small smile and blushed, probably at my gesture. She never did like me paying for her things. I smiled remembering all the times we argued over stupid things like that.

"Thank you." She said, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Your welcome." I smiles at her, as we took our coffee and sat at a table.

We chose a table next to our friends so that we could talk more privately. My hands shook as the silence carried out and my nerves got worse. Why couldn't we just get this over with, so we could go back to the way things were before we started fighting. I couldn't take the silence anymore, I let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry." We both say at the same time. I chuckle lightly and she blushes before starting again.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you." she said in a small voice.

"Don't be sorry, you have every right to yell at me. I'm an idiot, and I'm so sorry. I didn't mean any of the things I said, and I'm sorry I accused you. I just freaked out when I saw him on you… I promise, that I will never say anything to hurt you like that again. I'll do anything, just please don't leave me…come back home." I say, not looking her in the eye. She didn't say anything for a while, but after what seemed like a million years she put her hand on mine. I looked up at her hand and then her.

"I forgive you Edward." She gives me a small smile, I could see tears glistening in her eyes. "I'm not leaving you. You don't know how much I've missed you, after three days. I don't know what I would do if we broke up completely… "

"I love you… so, so much." I say hesitantly, hoping not to back track this conversation.

"I love you too… more then you could ever imagine." She says.

We were quiet for a long time, just sitting with her hand in mine. I was so happy that she had forgiven me and that she still loved me. This means that she was going to come home, right? I was hesitant to ask her, not wanting to ruin the moment.

"Bella?" Alice called, giving her a look. Bella just nodded and Alice looked relieved. "So, I guess we should go home?"

"Ya, lets go. I beat." Bella agreed.

We all walked out to the cars and went our separate ways. Bella turned to me before getting into Alice's car.

"I'll come tomorrow." She said to me. I frowned and she laughed, "I need to get my things together."

"Ok." I nodded. She smiled and leaned up to kiss my check.

"Good night Edward." She blushed slightly. "I'll see you tomorrow."

I just nodded and got into the Jeep. The ride to my house was silent, and we got there within a few minutes. I thanked them and went into my house, taking a quick shower before going to bed. That night I slept more soundly, knowing that Bella would be back in my arms tomorrow.

Aww, ya. Everyone is happy and together again. Tell me what you think, good or bad. I want to know! Thank you for reading, please review. I'm pretty sure the next chapter will be the last. Will update soon.

Love, Tasha
