Chapter 5

EPOV

The bell rang.

Biology class was over and I still hadn't been able to speak to Bella. It's not that I didn't try; it was more like she refused to talk to me. I can't blame her though. What Rose said in the car this morning was beyond hurtful.

I wanted to tell her I was sorry for Rose's comments. I wanted to tell her I didn't agree with the less fortunate remark. I wanted to let her how I wasn't ashamed to be seen with her getting out of my car. But I couldn't. She wouldn't let me.

Maybe it was a good thing though.

Maybe this is what I needed to get my life back to normal.

Surely, Bella wouldn't want to drive with me anymore after today. I would never accidently walk in her bedroom while she was dressing. Rose would never make anymore rude remarks towards her. Jasper and Alice would never have to find out what happened. And everything could go back to how it was before.

I smiled at myself.

Bella was only making it easier on me.

I watched as Bella ran out of the room. She still hated me. Nothing's changed. With that thought, I grabbed my books from off the table and headed out the door.

Rose was standing on the other side waiting for me. I flashed my best crooked smile at her while throwing my arms around her waist. She pulled me closer as I rested my head against hers. I squeezed her once more before releasing my grip.

"Are you okay?" She asked as my mouth found her ear and gently placed a kiss on it. She shivered lightly and I did it again.

I pulled away from her. She was smiling. I smiled back. "I just missed you, that's all."

She quirked an eyebrow at me and I playfully rolled my eyes.

Before I could give her a real kiss Emmett walked right between us. "I missed you both too." He laughed while heading into the biology room.

This time I rolled my eyes a little annoyed. Rose laughed. She grabbed my face and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. It wasn't the type of kiss I was expecting or wanted but still I was satisfied.

I watched as she walked into biology and found her seat. Then I quickly made my way to English.

---

I sat in class watching the clock slowly move. It seemed as though this day would never end.

I still had to drive Bella home. I grimaced at the thought. At least Rose wouldn't be there this time. She had a student body government meeting right after school like always. Our class had elected her president.

Every day after school I would drive home by myself. Usually I would just sit around talking to my mom or doing homework until five. Then I would drive back to the school to pick Rose up. Depending on her homework load, Rose would come over to my house for a while to hang out. I was hoping today there would be no homework so she'd come over.

Finally, the bell rang.

I quickly ran out of my seat and darted to my locker. I grabbed my jacket and threw it on. I turned around just in time to see Jasper leave the boys locker room. He looked upset.

I walked over to him. He saw me coming and glared at me.

What the fuck did I do?

"What the fuck did I do?" I snapped at him. He wasn't the type to just glare at someone for no reason.

He crossed his arms. "You know what you did!" He almost yelled back.

Nothing!

I threw my arms up in defeat.

"Just tell me what I did?" I wasn't about to play guessing games with him.

He shook his head at me.

It pissed me off.

"Just spit it out!" The suspense was killing me now.

All of the sudden his gaze moved to the right. I looked. Bella was walking out of the girl's locker room.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

"Shit." I didn't mean to say it out loud.

Bella must have told him something about this morning to make Jasper mad at me. The only thing I could think of was the bra incident.

But nothing had happened so why was Jasper so mad at me?

Just then Bella looked up at where we were standing.

I was mad.

Beyond mad.

How the fuck could she do this to me!

I narrowed my eyes at her. I even think I showed my teeth a little.

She froze.

I stood there for a minute just glaring at her. She didn't move either with a confused look on her face.

Jasper interrupted the silent death match I was having with Bella. "Dick."

I swung my head around to face him. "It's not what you think." I quickly said while returning my gaze to where Bella had been standing. She was slowly moving toward the direction of her locker.

"Is it?" Jasper asked while uncrossing his arms.

I let out an annoyed sigh. "You really think I'd do that to you?" I paused for a moment. His face relaxed. I continued. "Or Rose?"

"I guess not." He smirked while probably realizing how stupid he sounded for even thinking it. "But you need to tell me what happened."

Of course I did.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" I said while secretly thanking God he believed me. "I'll drop by your house after school."

He nodded his head in agreement and walked away. I slowly started my walk toward the parking lot.

---

When I got to my car Bella was already standing by the back passenger door. She was looking down and looked sad and I felt a little bad.

I cleared my throat to get her attention. Her head quickly shot up. "Rose isn't here so you can sit in the front."

She shook her head no and then quietly added, "I like the backseat."

Well, so do I…

Then, realizing why I like the backseat, I frowned. "Whatever."

I unlocked the doors and got in. She quickly followed me. I put on my seatbelt and started the engine.

Slowly, I drove out of the school parking lot.

The silence was killing me. I wanted to just yell at her and rip her apart for saying anything to Jasper. But I couldn't. She looked so sad in the back. And I'm sure it had to do with the looks I gave her in the hallway minutes earlier.

But I had to know why she did it.

I looked in the rearview mirror. She was looking out the window. "What did you say to Jasper?"

I waited a minute for her response but she was silent. I knew she had heard me. And I was mad now. "Well?" I asked a little harsh.

"Nothing really." I heard her whisper.

Nothing!

"Don't fuck with me Bella." I angrily spat at her. "I know you said something so just tell me!"

I heard a little sigh come out of her lips.

I waited.

"It's just…" She paused. "It's just… we were playing baseball in gym class…" She paused again and I was tempted to stop the car and shake it out of her. "…I fell…Jasper helped me up…" Of course he did. "…and he made a comment about seeing me… in my bra…" Not surprised. "…and I said ask Edward." She was silent then.

Oh.

Shit.

"What did he say?" I needed to know everything so I could be prepared with whatever I was going to tell Jasper this afternoon.

She took forever to answer again. "Nothing."

"Nothing?" I asked incredulously. That didn't sound like Jasper at all.

"He just stared at me." She explained while still looking out the window.

"Oh." I thought about it for a minute.

Now I understood why Jasper was so mad at me. He thought Bella and I had hooked up. I rolled my eyes at the thought of Bella and me ever hooking up. That would never ever happen.

We drove the rest of the way in silence.

Once we reached her house I pulled into the driveway. She quickly unfastened her seatbelt and gathered her stuff. "7:30?" I asked while she was stepping out of my car.

She stopped and looked at me. "Okay. Thanks." Then slammed the door shut. I watched as she stepped into her house.

I let out a sigh and backed out of the driveway and headed to Jaspers.

---

As I reached Jaspers house I saw him standing in the window.

That fucker was waiting for me.

I quickly parked on the side of his house and walked toward the door. Before I could reach the knob Jasper swung it open.

I stepped inside and followed him to the family room. "Pop?" He asked me as I plopped on the couch. I shook my head no. I just wanted to get this over with already.

He walked back with a Coke in hand and sat down on the opposite couch facing me. "Explain." He said while opening his drink and taking a sip.

I ran my hand threw my hair. It was a complete mess. "You know I have to pick up Bella now…" I began telling him. He nodded his head. "Well, when I got to her house this morning I rang the doorbell but she wasn't answering so I walked into her house and into her room…" I paused to look at him. His eyes had grown wide. I continued. "…well she hadn't finished getting ready and wasn't wearing a shirt."

No big deal.

"You see, it's no big deal." I told him while shrugging because it really wasn't.

His mouth fell open. "No big deal?"

I started at him.

"No big deal?" He repeated a little louder. But then added, "She's fucking hot. And you saw her in a bra and you think it's not a big fucking deal?"

I gaped at him. "It's just Bella." I paused. His mouth was still on the floor. "Anyway, I completely embarrassed the shit out of her."

It was silent for a moment. "Fuck." Jasper finally said. "What did she look like?"

I chuckled. Of course Jasper wanted to know every detail. I chuckled again knowing whatever I said would probably make an appearance in his fantasies about her.

Then I thought about the question for a minute remembering her in that lacy red bra. My mind wandered to places I didn't want it to so I had to stop it. "You know what her faces looks like when she gets really embarrassed?" I asked him. He nodded. "Well, her bra was that color…but lacy…"

"Go on!" He was getting impatient.

"That's really it." I didn't want my mind wandering anymore.

Jasper glared at me. "Details, man, details!"

I really didn't want to go into details. "What do you want to know?"

Jaspers eyes lit up. "What size is she?"

I shrugged. I'm not up-to-date with all the bra sizes.

He was a little annoyed now. "Would you say she is bigger or smaller then Rose?"

Fuck.

I didn't want to compare them. And it was really none of his business anyway. But I knew he wouldn't let it go.

"About the same." I softly said.

And he knew that was all he'd be getting out of me so thankfully he dropped the issue and turned on the television.

We watched a few stupid shows on MTV. I glanced at the clock on the microwave. It was 5:15.

Shit!

I told Jasper I had to go and quickly jumped in my car. I called Rose on the way to the school to tell her I was running late. Thankfully she wasn't mad at me.

---

When I reached the school parking lot I saw Rose standing with Emmett and a few other football players. I quickly stopped the car and walked toward them.

I gave Rose a sorry expression as I reached them. She smiled back at me. "I lost track of time." I explained to her.

"It's okay." She quickly said. I smiled at her again.

Emmett laughed at us. "Well, if you were any later I would have taken her home myself."

I lowered my brow at him. "Funny."

With that I grabbed her hand and we walked back to my car. "My house or yours?" I asked her.

Her face lit up. "Yours silly."

I giggled as we drove back to my house.

---

Once we reached my house we made our way to my bedroom. My parents were pretty laid back when it came to girls in my room which I was definitely thankful for.

Before I could even say anything Rose jumped on me as she wrapped her legs around my waist and began kissing me.

Okay.

I kissed her back while backing toward the bed and sitting down.

She forcefully grabbed my shirt and ripped it off. I repeated her actions by unbuttoning her shirt with my hands while continuing to kiss her.

Once I fully got her shirt off I threw it on the floor and looked down.

I froze.
