Chapter 6
BPOV
After being tortured by the pixie and her cohort, I admit I look pretty damn good. Not a lot of makeup which I am thankful for. The color of the dress is a midnight blue. It is a little revealing, but tonight is about taking a chance right? I am going to pony up and tell Edward how I feel. I cannot let anymore time get wasted.
We head to the school after the guys. Not surprising since it takes Alice and Rose forever to get ready. Once we get there we head into the gym. I am so nervous. I look around trying to find the guys. I see Emmett and Jasper at a table. They are laughing at something, but I don't see Edward. I scan the dance floor and there he is. With that tramp Tanya. And she has her hands on his face. His hands are on her waist. It looks like they are about to kiss. My chest aches and I feel like I am going to be sick. I turn to start running. I hear Alice yell my name but I cannot stop. The pain is too great. Tears are falling down my face now. I stop running when I can barely breath anymore. I am in front of our Biology classroom. I walk in and sit at my table. Our lab table. Edwards and mine. My phone keeps ringing, but I see it is Alice and I just can't hear any excuses right now. I don't want to know there are other fish in the sea. I want that fish. The tears start flowing again.
It seems as though I have been sitting there forever when I hear the door open. I look up and see Mike. God why do you hate me so much. I can tell by the solemn look on his face that he can see that I am upset. Hell I bet my face looks like a battle zone of blotches and mascara. He comes over to the table and sits down in Edwards chair.
"Hi Bella. Are you okay? Can I help?" He whispers.
"I am fine Mike. Thanks for asking. No there isn't anything you can do." I sniffle.
"Bella, I saw Edward dancing with Tanya. But I think you have it wrong. He doesn't like her Bella. He likes you." I huff and he continues. "Bella, I see the way he looks at you. It is like he is looking at the sun, at a goddess, at his soul mate. He loves you Bella. And I know you love him. I wish you didn't, but I know you do. I see it in your eyes when he walks into a room. You gravitate towards him."
I am stunned into silence. I always brush Mike off as some stupid shit and he actually is a nice guy. Man I am all kinds of fucked up. "Thanks Mike." I squeeze out.
He gives me a gentle smile. "Want to head back in the gym? Tyler is having a party later if you want to go with me."
"No Mike, I would really like to go home. I don't think I can handle anymore tonight."
He offered to drive me so I don't have to be humiliated walking back into that gym looking like I just ran through a rain storm covered in face paint. We head out and he drops me off at my house. "Think about what I said Bella. Give him a chance." Mike offers. I give him a slight nod and walk up my driveway into the dark house. Everyone is asleep. I assume to get ready for the festivities tomorrow. Fuck my life. I head to my room and just drop onto my bed, silently crying myself to sleep.
